Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 285

Happy times are always short-lived.

The happy few days of the New Year came to an end soon.

Su Yuan felt very satisfied, he hadn't dealt with any official business in the past few days, and spent all his time with his important people.

This is what the New Year is all about, reuniting with those closest to you and sharing happy moments.

But some people are happy and some people are sad.

The envoy of Xifeng Kingdom, Trier, naturally couldn't enjoy any cheerful atmosphere.

He stayed in the embassy for the past few days, watching the family reunion in Jinghai, and his heart was full of indescribable feelings.

He also wanted to go back to his hometown as soon as possible, but he had no choice but to wait because the public affairs department in Dong'an stopped working directly during the New Year.

Finally, today, when he heard that the various government departments in Dong'an had reopened, he immediately went to inform someone.

It was Lu Wuyou who met him.

This time the two did not meet in the pavilion, but in Lu Wuyou's office.

"Master Lu, we, Xifeng, agree to accept Dong'an's conditions!"

A few days ago, Trier received a letter from Xifeng Country, which was written by President Delz himself, telling him to agree to the conditions.

Trier was a little surprised when he saw it at the time... After all, no president would be willing to commit the crime of ceding land to himself.

This will follow him for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, his name will be included in the history books, and he will be cursed by countless generations.

In particular, Deltz is a person who cherishes feathers very much and likes to put on a show in front of the public.Trier thought before that the president would not agree, but unexpectedly...

"Is that so, let's start the process."

Lu Wuyou was not surprised by this result, he already knew that Xi Feng would compromise.

But taking a step back, even if Xi Feng disagrees, Dong An doesn't care.

Dong'an has the absolute initiative in this matter, no matter what the final result is, it will definitely not suffer.

Trier breathed a sigh of relief, and being able to start the process meant that he was not far away from going home.

Lu Wuyou said: "Apologize, pay compensation... You can do these things. As for the reception of Kote Port, we will send troops there in the near future."

"... This is what we have to do. When will you return the warship and the prisoners?" Trier asked.

"Of course after your compensation arrives."

"This..." Trier showed displeasure, "It's better to do it at the same time."

Lu Wuyou directly refused: "No way. The silver for compensation must be shipped over first, and the captives will not be returned until we successfully take over Kott Port."

Trier was annoyed, this kind of request really made him aggrieved, but now, what else can he do?

Accepting other people's conditions with full authority on my side is already tantamount to admitting defeat.If you admit defeat, people can naturally manipulate you casually.

Trier was silent for a moment and lowered his head: "That's it, I hope you Dong'an can keep your word."

Lu Wuyou laughed and said, "Let's leave this to yourselves."

After Trier left, Lu Wuyou immediately sent for Powell from Saxon.

After Powell learned that Dong'an and Xifeng had reached an armistice clause, his expression suddenly became a little anxious.

"You may be fooled!" Powell said, "People in Xifeng Kingdom often lie! Be careful of their secret tricks!"

For Powell, the truce between Dongan and Xifeng is definitely not good news.Most of all, he hoped that the two countries could continue to fight. The longer the fight, the greater the profits for Saxon.

Lu Wuyou could see the mischievousness in Powell's heart, but he didn't point it out, he just said plainly: "Even if Xifeng wants to make trouble, we won't suffer. But Mr. Powell, you should go back to your country."

Powell was taken aback, he felt that Lu Wuyou's attitude was a bit wrong, could it be that Xifeng gave some extra benefits to let Dong'an deal with the Saxon country?

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately said: "No hurry, no hurry! Mr. Lu, I think we still have something to talk about."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

……

A day later, Trier returned home by boat.

Three days later, Powell sailed back home.

On the fourth day, Lu Wuyou and Su Yuan reported the terms reached with the Saxon Kingdom.

Now is the critical moment for the rise of Saxon in the west. They are worried that Dong'an will support Xifeng and curb the rise of Saxon.So he quickly asked Powell to give a new trade treaty.

Compared with the previous one, the new treaty's tariffs on Dong'an goods have once again been greatly reduced, almost down to a single-digit percentage.In this way, the profit of Dong'an Export can be doubled again.

It is reflected in Dong'an, that is, there is more money, the common people have more income and more spending power.The Saxon country has to find a way to fill this hole by itself.

The previous method was to sell the goods imported from Dong'an to other Western countries at a higher price.But now, since the defeat of the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations, many Western countries have also given up supporting Xifeng, and began to send people to establish business relations with Dong'an.

They are also fed up with buying second-hand Dong'an goods from the "unfortunate man" of the Saxon country.

But at that time, there was no way. Saxon could withstand the pressure of Xifeng and Dong'an Trade, but they couldn't.

But it's different now, now Xi Feng and his younger brothers have suffered heavy losses, and they are unable to dictate to other small countries in the short term.Then these small countries naturally have to seize the rare historical window period, and make money by doing business with Dong'an first.

After this window period, no one can say what will happen in the future.

Su Yuan naturally kept an open mind about this.

He also instructed Lu Wuyou to consider setting up an international trade organization, and the countries in the organization would enjoy certain preferential treatment when trading with each other, so as to further isolate hostile countries.

Although things continue abroad, there are still unfinished things at home.

More than a week after the new year, Su Yuan sent someone to invite old Mr. Furukawa.

As the head of the Gu Yue Sect, Gu He used to be the leader of the martial arts in Mozhou, but now he doesn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He plays chess and drinks with some old friends every day.

Knowing that Su Yuan wanted to see him, he rushed over immediately.

The two met at the Ministry of War Square. As soon as Gu He saw Su Yuan, he immediately saluted and said, "Cao Min has seen His Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Furukawa stood up, looking at the tall and straight Su Yuan in black clothes, his mood was very excited.

Now he seems to still be able to recall the first time he saw Su Yuan, it was still in Taiyuan, not long after Su Yuan had just conquered Taiyuan.

Although the meeting did not settle the matter, he could already see at that time that Su Yuan's ambition was so high that it was unimaginable.

It's just that he never imagined that in just a few months, Su Yuan would level off the north and the south and become the lord of this land.

As a person in the martial arts world, Gu He has also seen the rise and fall of many geniuses over the years, but there has never been one like Su Yuan.I'm afraid there won't be any in the future...

"Master Gu, do you know why I asked you here?"

"Your Majesty... is it for the martial arts conference?"

"good."

It was within Su Yuan's expectation that Furukawa could guess.

Furukawa was the person in the world he chatted with the most, and he mentioned the "Wu Pavilion" to the latter more than once.

"If Your Majesty needs the grassroots to handle this matter, the grassroots will do it immediately." Furukawa did not resist this matter.On the contrary, he hoped that the Jianghu problem could be completely resolved at this martial arts conference.

Having been in the arena for decades, he can see many problems in the arena.

Such as all kinds of vendettas... Either this one has the hatred of killing his father, or the other has the hatred of taking his wife. After killing and killing, one party must be exterminated in the end, otherwise there will be endless retribution from generation to generation.

Another example is the problem of the Demon Cult, which could not be solved in the past. There are many decent families, but there are very few people who are willing to risk their lives to confront the Demon Cult that has harmed countless people.

In the past, the government of Dazhou even turned a blind eye to the Demon Sect, just because some Demon Sects were smart and knew how to manage local officials.

However, after Su Yuan arrived, the problem of the Demon Cult was completely resolved, no matter how big or small, everyone was regarded as a bandit den and wiped out.

This kind of dimensionality reduction blow has amazed Furukawa for a long time.

He also understood that under the highly operational state machine, any sect is like a mass of loose sand, completely vulnerable.

It was precisely because of this realization that Gu He led the Gu Yue Sect to join the former Bei'an Army early on.He himself was reused by Su Yuan by virtue of his one-step initiative.

Although the Gu Yue Sect is disbanded now, Gu He is the general manager of the northern martial arts people, and his status has been greatly improved compared to before.

"Of course, I'm relieved that Sect Master Gu will handle it." Su Yuandao, "The focus this time is still the Jianghu people in the south."

"The grassroots understand." Furukawa said seriously.

Most of the northern Jianghu people have accepted Dong'an's rules after a few months.The south is different. When the New Kingdom was first established, many sects in the southern rivers and lakes still couldn't figure out how to position their relationship with the imperial court.

It's not easy to deal with this group of people, simply suppressing them by force is the worst policy, only when other ways fail, will they be reduced to this point.

Besides, those people are now citizens of Dong'an, which is very different from before, and they cannot easily use force.

Furukawa asked: "Your Majesty, have you thought about the venue for the martial arts conference?"

"Well... just in the newly built Central Park." Su Yuan made a decision after a little thought, "The park square is big enough to hold a martial arts conference. And most of the southern warriors have never been to the capital, let them now Come and take a look, just as a trip."

Su Yuan said with a smile: "Master Gu, tell them that they don't have to worry about money. As long as they are willing to come, the imperial court will cover all travel expenses, food and accommodation. They just need someone to come."

"Your Majesty's grace, the grassroots will definitely pass it on to the various sects in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Okay, Sect Master Gu, then go get busy."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

After Gu He saluted again, he turned around and took a few steps, then suddenly paused, as if thinking of something.

He turned back again, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Your Majesty, Caomin suddenly remembered something..."

"what's up?"

"The rivers and lakes in the south have always respected Taiyi. In recent years, Taiyi has stopped asking about the affairs of the world... If you invite mages who can't do Taiyi to come, I'm afraid the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River will be obedient and unwilling to come."
