Chapter 876 Conditions
The next day, Gushi Khan's messenger arrived at the Huajun's barracks and was received by Zhang Shuhuan and others.
"Give your ambassador something delicious. It's not easy to have a good meal in the coalition."
Zhang Shuhuan laughed.
What this means is that we know the food plight of your coalition forces.
A large number of food began to be brought up, canned beef, canned pork, canned fish, canned vegetables, canned fruit, canned food of various types, all kinds, and Agudu's eyes glowed.
He tried his best to control himself and warned himself not to expose the lack of food and grass within the coalition.
Otherwise, the next negotiation will definitely fall into passive.
"Senior Zhang is joking, our army is also roasting whole lamb for meals, and I'm getting tired of fresh meat."
That said, but in the face of those delicacies, his human body instinctively reacted and swallowed.
Beef, pork, and fish are all luxury items on the grasslands, and most people have never tasted them in their entire lives.
They eat mutton and horse meat, which lacks seasoning, and the taste of these meats is far from comparable to that of Dahua's canned food.
Moreover, even mutton, only a very few people in their coalition have eaten it.
"Oh, it seems that the envoy doesn't like our food, so we can only eat it ourselves."
Nie Ping said that he was going to remove the food in front of Aguduo, but Aguduo quickly stopped him and said, "How come, the food in the Central Plains is unique, and I have admired it for a long time."
When everyone saw this, some laughed outright, while others were more reserved and snickered in their hearts.
After teasing Agudo for a few words, everyone then talked about the business.
Aguduo understood the meaning of his visit. Of course, his words were very euphemistic, but everyone understood the meaning.
Agudo first emphasized the 'tough' strength of the lower coalition army, and then said that Gushi Khan had the intention of surrendering for the sake of his people.
The key is how Dahua intends to place Gushi Khan and other tribal leaders.
"If Dahua cannot properly place the leaders, we will fight to the end."
Agudo said.
This kind of cruel words, that is, it is effective to scare ordinary people.
At the negotiating table, such remarks exposed their guilty conscience.
Zhang Shuhuan and others did not listen to Aguduo's cruel words, Zhang Shuhuan said: "Our policy has always been very clear, and we will not make specializations because of who our opponents are.
For the Mongolian tribes, the requirement of our dynasty is to be completely sinicized. Whether it is military, political, economic or cultural, all have to accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
As for the leaders of the various tribes, they can live in the capital. There is a life of drunken gold fans, which can make people enjoy endlessly and linger, so why stay in a bitter and cold place like the grassland? "
Of course, Zhang Shuhuan did not say that if you want to enjoy that kind of life in Nanjing, you need to spend a lot of money.
After these leaders went to Nanjing without privileges, how to make money and how to maintain a luxurious life depends on their own abilities, and Dahua does not care.
As long as these leaders go to the capital, all the rulings on the grasslands can fall into the hands of Dahua.
"No, no, these leaders are used to life on the grasslands, and they are not used to going to the Central Plains."
Agudo wanted to cry without tears.
No matter how beautiful Nanjing is, it is also the beauty of rich and powerful people. Ordinary people have struggled in Nanjing.
Although Aguduo has never been to Nanjing, this kind of thing can be guessed.
"It's okay not to go to Nanjing, but the political system of each tribe on the grassland has to change, and it must be completely in accordance with the political system of Dahua. The military is in charge of the Ministry of War..."
Zhang Shuhuan's request is very simple, similar to other places.
After surrendering to Dahua, the position of tribal leader should be abolished, and the official system of Dahua should be changed.
After the reform, military power, diplomatic power, and taxation must be handed over to the imperial court.
The original tribal leader could only have a little administrative power, which was equivalent to a county or provincial governor.
This kind of power is actually extremely limited, which basically means that it is completely controlled by Dahua, and there is no chance of rebellion.
This kind of treatment, Gushi Khan and other tribal leaders will definitely not be satisfied.
After all, they are now in their respective tribes, and that is also a single word, holding the power of life and death for everyone, which is equivalent to a miniature emperor.
From a small emperor to a county magistrate, the gap between them is as high as Mount Everest.
"I'm afraid it won't work. The situation on the grasslands is different from that of the Central Plains. It may not be appropriate to adopt the same official system as the Central Plains. In fact, it is more efficient to have their own leaders manage their tribes."
Agudo is still working hard.
However, at this time, a Huajun officer stood up and said: "Since you think so, then you can go back. All power will not be handed over to the imperial court, and it is impossible for you to pay extra taxes, then I will go to the court. what?"
This is very straightforward, and Agudo is speechless.
He also knew that Gushi Khan and the others were too optimistic and their requirements were too high.
Gushi Khan’s thinking has not yet turned around. After all, the previous Central Plains dynasties had relatively low requirements for ruling the grasslands. As long as the grasslands were willing to be courtiers, and then did not go south to loot, the Central Plains Dynasty was very satisfied.
However, the current dynasty in the Central Plains is Dahua, with strengths that other dynasties have never had.
The Dahua Dynasty will no longer be satisfied with the previous consolation.
Aguduo had no choice but to go back and return to his life.
Gushi Khan and others did not give him more authority, nor did he agree to Dahua's conditions in place of Gushi Khan and others.
If the negotiation fails, Dahua does not care.
On the side of the coalition forces, it was once again plunged into anxiety.
They have pinned their hopes on the negotiation. Now that the negotiation fails, it means that the hope is dashed.
"I just said that our requirements are too high, and it is impossible for the big Chinese to agree. You have to insist."
said the leader of a small tribe.
In fact, their internal opinions are not unified. Some tribe leaders have relatively low requirements, but some big tribes think that they still have the strength and capital to compete, so they speak loudly.
Those small tribes are weak and have no say, and can only be represented.
And now that the negotiation has failed, this contradiction has erupted.
"Would you like to talk again?"
The leader of the Dzungar tribe suggested.
It was a shame to go again, but there was no other way.
"It's okay to go again. The key is how far our bottom line can reach. The attitude of the big Chinese is very tough. I don't think they will give in any more."
Agudo reminded.
His words made everyone fall into silence again. If it is really as Agudo said, if they want to talk about achievements, they must agree to the conditions that Dahua is now putting forward.
In that case, it means that they will lose a lot of power in the future and become a very ordinary Dahua official.
Moreover, the official position may not be too big.
