"Your Highness Changsun..."

"Prime Minister, although the compensation is large, it can buy you some peace. If you don't pay the compensation, then we will have to go and get it ourselves. Do you know how much we took in the last war? We only sent some small troops, The various personnel and property obtained are quite a large number. Add in the losses of your Tuyuhun personnel, isn't it still worth four million yuan?"

General Qin Qiong said in his heart, you are so fucked, you didn't let me finish my sentence twice, but General Qin Qiong felt really comfortable. You Tuyuhun were so awesome before, now you have encountered a tough problem, especially In real diplomatic negotiations, we will not back down at all. You must implement the terms stated, otherwise I will take it myself, and you will lose more by then.

Prime Minister Midu was almost choked to death. There were many words on his lips, and he just wanted to say them out. Unfortunately, the other party did not give him a chance. They could get four million guan, but after this battle, Their life is not easy, and they are in urgent need of money to appease the tribes. If there is no money by then, many tribes will probably start to migrate...

But as Li Xiang said, if you don't agree, then we will definitely go to war again. By then, what we will take away will not only be four million coins. In the last time Li Xiang traveled a long distance, During the battle, if all were converted into money, it would be estimated that there were several four million coins.

Originally, there was a third clause, which was the clause for building a new city, but Li Xiang also added it to the first clause. On these four hundred miles of grassland, we can build a new city anywhere, and it has nothing to do with your Tuyuhun. relationship, because from the moment the agreement was signed, these grasslands belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Do we still need your consent to build a new city on our own territory?

"This is considered a pass."

Li Xiang waited for about three minutes, but Prime Minister Midu did not say anything. When Li Xiang said this, Prime Minister Midu's face became even more ugly, as if he was an old man dying of his life, but Midu The Prime Minister couldn't say anything to refute. This was not a negotiation at all, it was purely blackmail, but the person being blackmailed had nothing to do.

"The third article is about taxes. In the past, Tuyuhun imposed heavy taxes on our Datang merchants, which brought great inconvenience to business transactions. Therefore, from the date of signing of the covenant, the taxes paid by our Datang merchants in Tuyuhun Taxes should be equal to those of Tuyuhun merchants."

This one does not require Tuyuhun to pay for the land, but this one also reduces their income a lot. If they follow what Li Xiang said, it will be at least 1.5 million yuan per year, which is very important for them. It was also a huge blow to Tuyuhun's finances.

Li Xiang was already prepared to see what else Prime Minister Midu would say, but he didn't expect that Prime Minister Midu had a look of death on his face and had no intention of refuting this point. For Prime Minister Midu, this point was certainly It is also fatal, but compared with the previous two, this one seems to be a little easier.

"Article 4 is a new plan, which is consular jurisdiction. We, Datang, will set up our liaison offices in several large tribes in Tuyuhun. If all personnel of Datang make mistakes in your country, they should Leave it to our liaison office for unified management."

Li Xiang introduced consular jurisdiction for the first time in the Tang Dynasty. When Li Xiang said this, others felt that it didn't matter. After all, there was no such thing as judicial sovereignty in this era, but Prime Minister Midu was not an ordinary person. Aware of the danger of this, if a Tang Dynasty man committed murder and arson in their place, but the local government had no way to interrogate him, would the local government lose its dignity if things continue like this?

"May I ask, Your Highness, what if your liaison office shields criminals?"

When Prime Minister Midu asked this question, General Qin Qiong was also awakened. To be honest, General Qin Qiong did not understand what consular jurisdiction was. Although there were many explanations below, General Qin Qiong did not bother to read it. , after all, this is a common problem among military officers. They are not willing to read these so-called words, but after Prime Minister Midu said it, General Qin Qiong realized how important this consular jurisdiction is.

"I don't deny that such a situation will occur. You also have a guild hall in our Chang'an City. You can ask your guild hall to lodge a protest. Both of us can re-examine the case and we will definitely give you an understanding."

When Li Xiang said this, it was actually a bit of a shirk. Chang'an City and Tuyuhun were far apart. If he protested everything, his bones would probably be cold.

"Then do we Tuyuhun people also have this kind of power in the Tang Dynasty?"

Prime Minister Midu said anxiously.

"I'm afraid this is impossible, because this is the right of the victor. If Prime Minister Midu's army approaches Chang'an City one day, I believe I will be willing to hand over the consular jurisdiction to you, but I don't think this day will come. ”

Li Xiang's words made General Qin Qiong next to him laugh. You guys are really good at talking nonsense. You never forget to make fun of others, but this feeling is really good.

"Then in our own land, our own people will respect you..."

Prime Minister Midu felt a little incredible.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are also a man who has read poetry and books. Is there fairness between the victor and the vanquished?"

Li Xiang did not explain this problem, but instead raised another question. Prime Minister Midu was ashamed at this moment. If he had known this, he would not have been able to provoke the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, there is no one who sells regret medicine now, only the old man. Be honest.

"The fifth……"

Prime Minister Midu almost fainted when he heard the fifth article. These terms of yours were imposed on Tuyuhun. Even if Tuyuhun did not destroy the country, he might not have complete rights in the future. But in this case, Midu Cheng didn't even have the courage to resist.

It was originally thought that Tuyuhun had the power to fight, but the Great Khan did not send a letter. Prime Minister Midu also understood what was going on in the country. Most of the tribes should be opposed to the war, and there was a fear in their hearts. If the Great Khan If Khan forces them to send troops to fight, I am afraid that Tuyuhun will be the first to collapse...
