Chapter 725 Destined to Bleed

The document in Leiner's hand suddenly became the focus of everyone's hearts at this moment, and the eyes of the imperial lords widened, and they almost saw the words written on the face through the parchment.

They don't know what kind of conditions Reiner has drawn up to achieve peace. Peace negotiation is the monarch's condition, and they have no right to interfere.

The same is true for all the members of the Jihad coalition forces. They hold their breaths and concentrate, and they don't want to lose a word of this peace agreement that determines the direction of their interests.

Leiner looked at the parchment and read the contents on it.

"In exchange for peace, only the following compensation needs to be paid!"

"First, admit defeat in the war!"

"Second, the Kingdom of Bazalan withdrew from the western territory of the empire and returned all the land that the empire took away!"

"Third, including Pope Rosa, recognize that the emperor's title is supreme!"

"Fourth, take out 300,000 gold coins at one time as compensation for the war to make up for the huge losses suffered by the empire!"

"Fifth, for all the lords of the countries, the king must hand over one-tenth of his income to the empire every year for twenty years!"

"Sixth, all countries recognize that the empire's territory is sacred and inviolable!"

"Seventh, all countries are not allowed to invade the empire's territory privately without reason, otherwise the jump will be invalid, and the empire will retaliate!"

"Eighth, the king of the Kingdom of Bazaran entered the palace of the Ridka Empire and was raised and educated by His Majesty the Great Emperor himself!"

"Ninth, the countries send members of the royal family to take up positions in the empire!"

There are a total of nine clauses, and Reiner finished reading them one by one, while observing the looks and expressions of everyone.

The terms of the first three items are not unacceptable to these people. Even the seemingly harshest recognition of the title is not a big deal. It is nothing more than a nominal thing, and there is no need to pay anything.

But the fourth and subsequent terms are too unacceptable. What is the concept of 300,000 gold coins?

Even if the current Grand Duchy of the North is extremely rich, Reiner's annual income is only 20,000 gold coins, and 300,000 gold coins is the income of the entire Grand Duchy of the North for 15 years!

What's more, the northern border is developing in many ways in Leiner,

Commercial and agricultural production is huge and substantial, and an efficient tax system has been established to have such income.

Even if this amount of money is as large as the entire empire, it would be a full three years of income, which is definitely a terrifyingly huge amount of money.

The countries in the west are large and small, but none of them can surpass the Grand Duchy of the North in terms of land area, and their wealth is very limited.

Such an amount is definitely difficult for even the wealthy trading countries in the south to come up with in a short period of time.

Even if this number requires seven countries, no, eight, the Rosa Church will still have to bear the compensation.

Even if eight countries were to bear the 300,000 yuan, each country would need to provide 37,500 gold coins.

And how could these countries spend such a large sum of money? Their annual income is even far less than that of the Northern Grand Duchy of Leiner, 37,500 gold coins, which is the income of many countries for five or six years, and this does not include expenses. indemnity?

The fifth clause is relatively better. There is no need to pay such a huge amount of compensation, but it is very uncomfortable to hand over one-tenth of the income every year for a full ten years.

This means that they can't save any property if they don't invest in these ten years, and they have to live a difficult life. This is undoubtedly a blunt knife cutting flesh.

No one cared about the terms of the Kingdom of Bazaland. Their queen had already been captured, and the king was still so young. Even most of the lords in their own country didn't care much about whether their king was at home or abroad.

But the latter request is a bit difficult. Everyone present is not a fool. The royal family members who have served in the empire are undoubtedly hostages in the hands of the other party. Few people are willing to send their relatives to Longtan and Tiger's Den.

Reiner's terms immediately caused an uproar, and the lords of the Jihad coalition army all looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

Even the imperial lords under his command were extremely surprised, but the subsequent emotions of the two sides were very different, one was ecstatic, and the other was extremely depressed.

"This is absolutely impossible! This is too exaggerated! There will never be such an outrageous amount of compensation in the world! Three hundred thousand gold coins! Do you want to gather all the wealth in the world into your hands?"

"This is a condition that only a greedy dragon can ask! I will never agree!"

"What are you talking about! Do you want to fight again!" Earl Jollal was incomparably angry when he heard their gaffes. His blood boiled instantly in his temper. He took off the long sword at his waist and slapped it on the table, roaring. road.

Earl Choral was not alone, and the rest of the lords also angrily reprimanded the people of the Jihad coalition army, cursing with red faces.

There is no other reason, it is really money that touches people's hearts, and the conditions put forward by Reiner are beyond their imagination. Even though these people are all rich or noble, they are the ruling class of the giant empire, but they never thought that there would be Such a huge wealth.

Although it is impossible for the money to be owned by someone, it will inevitably be distributed, and there are only fifty or sixty vassals under Leiner's command. In this way, even if His Majesty the Emperor takes the big head, there are two or three of them distributed to himself Thousands of gold coins!

Two or three thousand gold coins! All the income of a rich earldom for five years!

What's more, those who can get money are not limited to these, those prisoners of war always need ransom, right? One-tenth of the annual income should be distributed, even a small lord at the baron level can get at least six or seven hundred gold coins.

Killing and setting fire to the gold belt, these lords were almost blindfolded by the huge wealth. When Leiner was a baron in the northern border, his annual income was only a little over ten gold coins.

Even if the northern border is rich now, a baron can produce 50 or 60 gold coins a year, which is a big deal. Most of them will be used to support the army, pay annuities, and eat and drink banquets. Hundreds of gold coins, they Never thought about it.

In order not to lose half of their lives, one side confronted each other relentlessly for the gluttonous feast that seemed to be at their fingertips. At this time, even the most cowardly people showed their fangs to intimidate each other.

"Are you sure you don't accept these terms at all?" Reiner looked at the two sides who were at war, and stood up from his chair.

The emperor was born to attract the attention of all people, and the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Since you firmly disagree, it's a pity that we can only fight each other on the battlefield. It's not that I don't want to usher in peace, it's that you have gone too far. You invaded my land but didn't want to make compensation. There is no such good thing in the world!" Reiner said coldly.

Afterwards, he got up again and said to his vassals: "Since they won't give it to you, then we will take it with the long sword in our hands!"
