Chapter 899 Negotiation
In the north of Haozhou and east of the Banshan Strait, at noon, Beichen Yuqing led the fleet and finally arrived at the port of the Dragon Tooth Empire. Naturally, the arrival of the fleet of the Shang Dynasty, or the ocean-going fleet, was warmly welcomed by the Dragon Tooth Empire.
The people of the Dragon Tooth Empire were very friendly when they saw the people of the Shang Dynasty, and there was a hint of the humility of the disciples in their friendly smiles.
The person who received the fleet was Huang Fulin, the commander of the Navy of the Dragon Tooth Empire.
According to the normal plan, Beichen Yuqing will leave after receiving the goods from the port. These goods are mainly Haozhou's resources and so on.
But when they arrived at the port, after meeting, Huangfulin turned serious, "Marshal Beichen, how about we find a place to talk?"
Seeing Huangfulin's face like this, Beichen Yuqing was a little puzzled, and a little bit puzzled. But still nodded in agreement.
When he came to the next room, Huangfulin used a small spell to isolate the sound, and said, "Marshal Beichen has just returned from the ocean, and I am very envious. I should have arranged a grand welcome ceremony for you. But...
But there is something I need to tell you. Just seven days ago, King Xian was assassinated. Now, although he has escaped the danger of his life, he is still unconscious, and was even sent to Tianwaitian to receive treatment from Master Taixuan.
Now the power of the Shang Dynasty is in the hands of Queen Xia Qingqing. "
Beichen Yuqing's complexion changed drastically, and she only felt a hum in her head, as if someone had hit her hard with a hammer. After a while, Beichen Yuqing asked tremblingly: "You...you can't make a joke like this!"
Huangfulin could think of Beichen Yuqing's mood. Slowly said: "Marshal Beichen, I dare not joke about such a thing.
You should be able to contact the Shang Dynasty now, you can directly ask Li Yuanming, Xu Ren, or Yan Ze'an. "
Beichen Yuqing immediately took out the Lingtong Baojian and directly connected to Li Yuanming. It was Li Yuanming's order before. After connecting, Beichen Yuqing asked, "Li Yuanming, has the virtuous king been assassinated?"
Li Yuanming was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "I wanted to wait until you came back to talk about it. I didn't expect the Longya Empire to be kind."
Numerous thoughts flashed across Beichen Yuqing's mind, but they were all rejected. I can only ask: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Bei Chen, you have been away for so long, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable at this time. Don't tell the soldiers about this matter yet. Let's talk about it after returning to the Shang Dynasty.
These days, let the soldiers have a good rest. Next, maybe there will be a big war. "
Beichen Yuqing opened her mouth, but finally she could only say hoarsely: "I understand."
After finishing the call, Beichen Yuqing looked at Huangfulin, and said slowly, "Thank you for letting me know. But please keep this matter a secret, and don't tell the rest of the soldiers on the warship."
"Don't worry, this matter is within the Dragon Tooth Empire. For the time being, only the high-level people know about it, and it hasn't been spread. Anyone who knows will not talk nonsense."
"That's good. Let's quickly finish loading the goods and set off immediately." Beichen Yuqing really wanted to return home at this time.
For "old people" such as Beichen Yuqing, they personally assisted Li Xian to create a brand new country. They have put in a lot of hard work and wisdom, and they have entrusted almost all their hopes and dreams. The assassination of Li Xian has touched the "future" of Beichen Yuqing and others, which is absolutely unacceptable!
However, Beichen Yuqing was Beichen Yuqing after all, so she didn't yell and wait immediately, but suppressed her anger very rationally. This matter will be discussed after returning to the Shang Dynasty.
But today, Huangfulin didn't intend to let Beichen Yuqing go, no, he didn't let go of Beichen Yuqing's clothes: "Wait a minute, Commander Beichen, I still have a little matter to trouble you."
"whats the matter?"
Huangfulin hesitated for a while before saying: "Have you heard of the five elements and spirit world, Marshal Beichen?"
Five Elements Spirit Realm? Of course Beichen Yuqing knew. Not long ago, the Shang Dynasty deliberately informed about the Five Elements Spirit Realm, in order to prevent Beichen Yuqing and others from encountering masters of the Five Element Spirit Realm during their return.
Therefore, upon hearing Huangfulin's question, Beichen Yuqing nodded, "The military department has specially informed you about this matter."
"That's good, that's good." Huangfulin felt that he could save a lot of tongue, and immediately went straight to the topic, "Now Shi Yuxing, a master of the peak of the return to true stage and whose combat power is comparable to that of the Mahayana stage, is now Visit us Dragon Fang Empire.
It is said that they want to form an alliance with the Longya Empire to jointly divide the interests of Haozhou. "
Beichen Yuqing frowned slightly, "I can't help you with this matter, and the negotiation is obviously a matter within Haozhou and your Dragon Tooth Empire.
Although our two countries are friendly, one of the basic national policies of the Shang Dynasty is: not to interfere in the politics of other countries. I really can't help you with this matter. "
Huangfulin chuckled, "Yes, why not. It's actually very simple, I just ask you to show the power and potential of the munitions.
It’s not considered interference in our internal affairs, we paid you to conduct a military exercise. how? "
Why? That's a good suggestion! Beichen Yuqing's heart suddenly brightened. After all, the Shang Dynasty is the Shang Dynasty, and some things are indeed inconvenient to deal with; but if someone else hires them, there will be no problem!
In the Shang Dynasty, everything was negotiable, as long as the price was right. did this, perfect! So what's the matter, there's nothing wrong with it.
Since this suggestion was okay, Beichen Yuqing immediately agreed. Are you all allies after all? If you can help, you can still help.
After getting the answer, Huang Fulin immediately informed the Emperor Long Aoyun of the Dragon Tooth Empire who was negotiating. Long Aoyun was overjoyed, immediately terminated the negotiation, and invited the negotiating team of the Five Elements Spirit Clan to go to the beach tomorrow to enjoy an unprecedented military exercise.
Although the Dragon Tooth Empire has a navy, Huang Fulin, the commander of the navy, is actually a bit aggrieved-now the Dragon Tooth Empire does not need a navy, so the development of the navy is naturally very slow, far behind the development speed of the army and air force .
But the navy has an advantage. The intuitive shock of the giant ship's cannon is unmatched by any military branch. It's a pity that the Navy of the Dragon Tooth Empire is a bit shabby, and it's not enough to laugh out loud. In short, the navy of the Dragon Tooth Empire is far less shocking than the army.
Finally, at this critical moment, Beichen Yuqing's fleet arrived. So, there is the scene above.
Early the next morning, Beichen Yuqing met the high-level officials of the Dragon Tooth Empire at the port, and of course also met the envoys of the Five Elements Spirit World and Shi Yuxing, the representative.
People in the five-element spirit world have a strong and pure five-element aura, which is easy to identify, and each aura seems to be a little irritable-this is caused by too much cultivation beyond the realm.
When Beichen Yuqing was observing the other party, that Shi Yuxing was also observing Beichen Yuqing. When he heard that Beichen Yuqing was one of the military commanders from the Shang Dynasty, Shi Yuxing became concerned.
Previously, although Shi Yuxing and four other practitioners went to the Shang Dynasty for "investigation", after all, the schedule was relatively hasty, and the observation was not very deep-mainly because he was a little dazed when he saw the state form and national politics of the Shang Dynasty. Don't know where to start.
Seeing the navy of the Shang Dynasty now, Shi Yuxing began to take care of it. After all, if the Five Elements Spirit Realm wants to gain a real foothold in the fairyland, it is very likely to face the Shang Dynasty and the changes caused by the Shang Dynasty. Even the Five Elements Spirit World itself wants to learn from the Shang Dynasty! Good stuff, who wouldn't want it.
What's more, when the Five Elements Spirit World just opened the channel, it was covered by artillery and attacked by planes. This is very impressive!
At this time, Long Aoyun, the emperor of the Dragon Tooth Empire, came over, thanked Beichen Yuqing first, and then announced the start of the exercise.
Beichen Yuqing commanded the fleet to set off, and it took less than 20 minutes to cover a symbolic 100 kilometers. Then an aerospace aircraft carrier appeared in the sky.
Seeing the aerospace aircraft carrier, the masters of the Five Elements Spirit World began to look serious, because the flying altitude of the aerospace aircraft carrier has exceeded 300,000 meters.
When the fleet reached a hundred kilometers, it opened fire on the 'legion' that was temporarily condensed by the sea water ahead. It was the magic spell condensed by the masters of the five elements in the spirit world, and it seemed to be endless. Although it was condensed by sea water, it was not an ordinary plaything.
It took a lot of thought for the masters of the Five Elements Spirit World to gather these 'legions'. First of all, it goes without saying that this is imitating the formation of one's own army, etc., which can be regarded as a demonstration. Secondly, it is also all-encompassing, some are extremely strong, and some are extremely fragile, all to test the power of arms.
It didn't matter to Beichen Yuqing, anyway, Longya Empire paid a huge "employment fee", of course it was according to the employer's wishes. Moreover, artillery attacks are hard damage, not soft power such as tactics, and cannot be avoided by understanding.
The artillery was turned and checked, and then the world was shaken under the attack of the artillery. In particular, there are still a few missiles flying out to carry out fixed-point strikes on some relatively remote or important positions. Some of the planes in the sky are responsible for reconnaissance, some are responsible for guiding missiles, or they can launch attacks by themselves.
Although they are a hundred kilometers away, everyone on the shore can still feel the huge shock. Not to mention the masters of the Five Elements Spirit World, even the people of the Dragon Tooth Empire were shocked. Although the Dragon Tooth Empire had seen the warship attack of the Shang Dynasty, it was already two years ago, so it is naturally different from the present.
As for Shi Yuxing from the Five Elements Spirit Realm and the Earth Spirit Race, he even nodded. He seems to have been able to see the potential of arms and industry. This kind of potential is very powerful, and in a large-scale war, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Large-scale, large-scale wars are not just a matter of masters, but also a manifestation of the country's comprehensive strength, and the army itself is mostly low-level cultivation. The damage caused by munitions to this level is almost devastating.
Also, the lofty aerospace aircraft carrier should not be underestimated. The altitude of 300,000 meters is a height that is difficult for masters of the Mahayana period to fly - it is still possible to reach it in a short time with great effort, but the price is too high.
The sky of Xianyu is as high as three million meters. The sky itself is like a cage, and the people inside cannot come out.
But the development of science and industry can break through this obstacle. Seeing aerospace aircraft carriers, he naturally thought of rocket technology, and Shi Yuxing had a stronger yearning for arms and technology in his heart.
Suddenly Shi Yuxing had an idea: How about going to the Shang Dynasty to negotiate? Didn't you say that the Shang Dynasty recognized money but not people, as long as you have enough wealth, you can get most of the things you want from the Shang Dynasty!
Once this idea popped up, Shi Yuxing couldn't hold back anymore! The five-element spirit world lacks resources, but what is lacking are resources that the five-element spirit world cannot produce by itself. However, the Five Elements Spirit World itself has many precious resources that are rarely found in the Immortal Domain, and they are even only heard of in name but not in form.
In short, Shi Yuxing is confident that he can rely on the precious resources of the Five Elements Spirit World in exchange for a large amount of technology from the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, the trading technology of the Shang Dynasty is no longer once or twice, which means that the threshold will not be too high.
——For the time being, Shi Yuxing doesn't know that the Shang Dynasty has long been vigilant about the Five Elements Spiritual World. I don't know what the result of Shi Yuxing's official visit to the Shang Dynasty will be?
But right now, this simple military exercise ended hastily in less than an hour, but the momentum and power displayed shocked almost everyone.
In the afternoon, Beichen Yuqing and Yuan Yong became special guests, sitting in the audience seats beside the negotiating table, and they were also VIP seats.
It is said that since the negotiation method of the Shang Dynasty spread, everyone followed suit. This relatively equal and fair negotiation model is very popular. Naturally, the audience seats were also imitated.
Both Beichen Yuqing and Yuan Yong are political veterans, and they came with their ears and their mouths closed. Yuan Yong's consideration went deeper, and he took the opportunity to observe the envoy of the Five Elements Spirit World, and took the opportunity to observe the Five Elements Spirit World.
For a real master, he can observe the essence of things from the most subtle point. Yuan Yong obviously has this ability in politics. By observing Shi Yuxing and the representatives of the surrounding five-element spirit world, etc., one can roughly infer some general situation of the five-element spirit world.
Gradually, Yuan Yong came to his own understanding: Although the Five Elements Spiritual World is united to the outside world, it is because everyone faces common difficulties. In fact, within the five-element spirit world, there must be contradictions between the five spirit clans, and it is very likely that they are difficult to reconcile or even irreconcilable contradictions!
In addition, the five-element spirit world is by no means a good thing. If there is no ruthlessness in the eyes of these followers, you can see the true colors of the five-element spirit world.
At this time, Shi Yuxing of the Five Elements Spirit Realm was negotiating with Duan Longquan, the prime minister of the Dragon Tooth Empire, and other high-level officials of the Dragon Tooth Empire. The main purpose of the negotiations is that the Five Elements Spirit Realm will form an alliance with the Dragon Tooth Empire to advance and retreat together.
Yuan Yong didn't speak, but just watched quietly, as if he didn't care about the relationship between the Five Elements Spirit World and the Dragon Tooth Empire at all.
Only occasionally, the Dragon Tooth Empire or the Five Elements Spirit World would ask Beichen Yuqing about military issues as a verification. Ask Yuan Yong about the politics and legal system of the Shang Dynasty, and discuss with each other.
In the evening of the negotiation, Beichen Yuqing and Yuan Yong bid farewell. The fleet has loaded all supplies and is ready to set sail tonight. The soldiers were eager to go home and couldn't wait.
In the evening, the envoys from the Dragon Tooth Empire and the Five Elements Spirit World were preparing to leave for the fleet of the Shang Dynasty.
