Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

In the next few days, there were constant news coming and going between Dong'an and Xiguo.

The envoy of Saxon Kingdom, Powell, and the envoy of Xifeng Kingdom, Trier, both stayed in Jinghai. While communicating with their own country, they were arguing with Lu Wuyou.

The demands of the two can be said to be completely opposite, but the purpose is the same, that is to let Dongan stand on their side.

Even Trier, after the first few days of tit-for-tat confrontation, changed his attitude and began to take a friendly line. He even hoped for the first time that he could sign a peace agreement with Dong'an and become a friendly country.

Trier said that the cooperation between Dong'an and Xifeng can become the bipolar world and harvest other countries together.I don't know which congressman in his country proposed this whimsical idea.

Naturally, Lu Wuyou refused straight away. His request has never changed, and it is to be carried out according to the list of treaties.Compensation, cession of land, apology, handover and other conditions are indispensable.

Trier was very helpless, and returned the news several times, which made Xifeng's senior management feel uncomfortable.

Delz has not slept well for several days, and he has held meetings to discuss this matter for seven or eight days.From the beginning of resolutely opposing the land cession treaty, later on, it gradually wavered.

There is only one reason, that is, internal and external troubles are getting more and more serious, and it is almost impossible to drag on.

As Xi Feng is the big brother of the alliance, the younger brothers are still waiting for an explanation.Many of those captives were from other countries. If they couldn't get them back, Big Brother's prestige would be ruined, and there would be no one to follow him.

Not to mention that the Saxon country has been aggressive recently, sending military ships around the territorial waters of the Xifeng country continuously, which is full of provocation.

If it was in the past, Delz would have sent the navy to deal with them long ago.But now that there is no ship in hand, even if the shipyard keeps building new ships day and night, it will not be able to form a scale with sufficient combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Apart from these external factors, internally, after the previous conflict broke out in front of the presidential palace, there were constant protests everywhere in the city.

Even though Dalts had ordered the rentiers to spit out part of the money to buy back the war bonds sold before, the people were still not satisfied.

They are now strongly urging Delz to step down and replace him with a new president, thinking that the reason for the defeat was due to Delz's improper command.

This appeal is actually very reasonable. A president who has suffered a major defeat during his tenure, if he is a little conscious, will voluntarily resign and leave.

Not so with Delz.

He likes this position more than his life, and he wants to become the Great Dalezi who unifies many western kingdoms!Build a large, stable empire on land and sea.

Before he achieves this dream, he will not give up easily.

Moreover, most of the important positions in the parliament are his people, and he can still hold the position for a while.

As long as things turn around, there are changes, and the people can see his ability, then he can win back his confidence and continue to maintain his rule.

Based on this, Delz made a decision at today's meeting.

He wanted to agree to Dong'an's request for a treaty. To be precise, he agreed to the most critical one of them, ceding the Port of Kott.

After this decision was made, everyone sitting around the table fell silent.

...

"I object." Someone said, and motioned to the typist who was sitting in the corner of the house, typing on the typewriter, "Please record well, I object."

The typist nodded.

In meetings at this level, typists will take written records of the words and attitudes of the big shots.

And this record is the evidence for future accountability or rewards.

For a resolution, both supporters and opponents are recorded. If the resolution has a good effect in the future, the supporters will be rewarded and the opponents will be punished.

vice versa.

This is a customary rule in Xifeng country, and even in many western countries.

Now there are people who oppose Deltz's resolution.

Dale Zi said: "Listen to me first. I know that ceding the land is a shame to us and the whole country! But all this is only temporary."

"Temporary?" The previous opponent shook his head repeatedly, "Your Excellency, after the signing of the document, Kote Port will become the territory of Dong'an. There is no such thing as temporary."

"Because it's their territory, can't we take it back?" Delz said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't forget that the port is on our own land."

"..."

Indeed, Port of Cote belongs to Cote City, which is the southern city of West Maple Kingdom and has a large population.

The most important thing is that there are sufficient soldiers here, and an infantry army of thousands of people is stationed all year round.

"Could it be that Your Excellency the President intends to rely on infantry to forcibly take back the port after the captives are redeemed?"

Dalts asked back: "Isn't it okay?"

"...we are so disregarding the signed treaties that I am afraid that it will affect the credibility of the country."

"National reputation... hmph, what is the so-called reputation in the face of a strong national power?" Delz snorted coldly, "You can ask the people whether reputation is important to them or to erase shame important?"

The man stopped talking, but his expression obviously still didn't agree with Delz's idea.

"If you have nothing else to say, let's vote on the resolution." Delz raised his hand first, "I agree with my proposal, please raise your hand."

There were a total of 16 people in the room, ten of them raised their hands, and the other six did not.

A typist in the corner wrote down who was in favor and who was against.

"Well, the minority obeys the majority."

Delz didn't look straight at the few people who didn't raise their hands. Anyway, he already had the upper hand, and the resolution could be implemented smoothly.

"In this case, prepare as soon as possible."

"Don'an's insatiable demand for [-] million silver, we can't just let Xifeng pay. The other allied countries have to share some of it."

"In addition, go and arrest those Zhou Dynasty people who applied for asylum immediately, and then send them to Dong'an with the first batch of silver. Anyway, they are useless now, and staying in our country is just a waste of food."

……

In a spacious two-story building, more than a dozen orientals wearing western-style vests are gathering here.

They paced restlessly back and forth, clapping their hands, and sighing incessantly.

"What should I do now..."

"The Su Yuan traitor is getting stronger and stronger, even foreigners can't cure him!"

...

"This beast is so powerful, I'm afraid our situation will be worrying!"

"We still have to find a way to find out how Xifeng's council thinks about it."

"You can't use money for spying? I don't have much money...Damn it, it's only been a while since I've been here, and these barbarians will squeeze out all my wealth!"

These orientals used to be prominent figures in the Great Zhou, either high officials or top wealthy businessmen.

They traveled across the ocean, and most of them were concentrated in Xifeng Country.Originally, he planned to spend the rest of his life here, and even harbored a glimmer of fantasy that he would fight back one day.

In the end, I didn't expect that the fantasy could not be realized, and even the original plan was about to be shattered.

Since the defeat of the coalition forces, they have all worried about their fate.At this moment, all gathered at He Zhongping's home to discuss this matter.

He Zhongping sat at the head, his face was pale, and he looked a little confused.

Unlike others, he has received some "messages" in advance.

The news is related to the negotiations between Dong'an and Xifeng. He heard that in the content of the negotiations, there seems to be a part about their "remnants of the Great Zhou".

Kakaka...

He Zhongping clenched the handle of the wooden chair, and thought to himself: "This fellow Su Yuan, is he still refusing to let us go... must we be killed?"

"Master He, you should say something!"

"That's right, when we came here, the foreigner spoke well and would protect our safety. Now..."

"I see, or—"

boom!
The banging of the door on the first floor interrupted everyone's conversation.

Followed by dense footsteps.

"Who?!"

The crowd was shocked.

Tread, step, step!

More than 20 Xiguo people in military and police uniforms rushed up from the first floor and pointed their guns at everyone.

The leading captain said: "Everyone, follow us immediately!"

"This...Mr. Jun...is there some misunderstanding?"

"Yes, we are protected by you!"

The captain sneered and said: "Didn't some of you say you were homesick, now the opportunity has come, we will arrange a boat to take you home in the next few days!"

thump!
As soon as the captain of the army and police finished speaking, two or three people's eyes went dark and they fell to the ground.

The rest of the people were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they could hardly stand.

"Home, home..."

They didn't know that the so-called home of the military and police captain was Dong'an today.

And once they are sent back there, one can imagine what will happen to them...

"Colleagues, don't panic." At this moment, He Zhongping took the initiative to stand up, walked in front of everyone, and kept as calm as possible.

He said to the captain of the military and police: "I want to see your officials. There may be room for turning this matter around. I hope the military master will inform you."

The captain saw that He Zhongping was polite and calm, and his attitude towards him became more respectful.

"Sorry. The order from above is to send you directly to the ship."

"...This is different from the original agreement."

"What kind of agreement do you have with the higher-ups? Those of us who do dirty work have nothing to do with it. Please don't embarrass us, sir. If you insist on using violence, it will be ugly."

Speaking of this, He Zhongping was speechless.

Behind him, a man in his fifties actually started to sob: "I said a long time ago...these bastards...the bastards...Westerners and foreigners are unreliable...I knew it would be better to go south...to the south Fleeing south..."

When the military police saw this scene, they burst out laughing.

"Hey, look, you're actually crying!"

"Hahahaha!"

"There are a lot of old people, it's really embarrassing!"

"Hurry up! Don't delay!"

He Zhongping and the others had no other choice but to follow and leave amidst the rough reprimands of the military and police officers.

They were taken numbly all the way to the port and put into a cargo ship.

After going up, I found that besides them, there were already many people stuffed inside.

Most of these people are familiar, and they are all Da Zhou people who boarded the ship together and fled to the western countries...
