Chapter 390 Ping Qingsheng's Actions and Negotiations(1/2)
At this time, Hei Kiyomori had returned to Heian Kyo and also met Heikazuma, who had escaped back first.
That's right, Heikazuo returned to Heian Kyo first than him. This has to be said to be a kind of irony. Although he was angry, he knew that this was not the time to get angry.
"Second brother, you have fought with the Wei army. How are their strength? Do we have a chance to win?" Ping Qingsheng asked
"Brother, I'm not timid. If you ask me to fight with Wei, I will definitely not go, and I can't beat you at all." Pingjiasheng said
"What? How could it be? Is the Wei army really that powerful?" Ping Qingsheng said.
"Brother, do you know? The family army I am proud of is simply vulnerable after facing the troops of Wei."
"You have no resistance at all. You can say that you were defeated in an instant. If I hadn't turned in quickly, you would have never seen me now."
"If you have to let me say a comparison, their ordinary soldiers are enough to compete with His Majesty the Emperor's Guards." Heika Mori said
"What? How is this possible? This time I came here only by the troops from Jiangnan of Wei, and they are not worth mentioning in Wei."
"It's not even their turn to guard the border. How could it be so powerful? No, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Ping Kiyoshi said.
"Brother, I don't want to admit it either, but he is indeed like this. We have no choice this time." said Heika Sheng.
"No, I must give it a try. You go and mobilize the army to prepare for the decisive battle." said Pekiyoshi.
"Brother, don't be tempted. The Wei State has now transferred a total of 150,000 troops. We are not opponents."
"Brother, I think it's better to ask for peace and send someone to negotiate with Wei State. I heard that this time, their crown prince came here in person, so he should be able to make the decision." Pingjiasheng advised
"Seeking peace? No, it's impossible. We finally stabilize the situation in the country. If we seek peace now, those old guys will have ideas that they shouldn't have, which is absolutely not possible." Ping Kiyoshi said
"Brother, if you don't ask for peace, you have to continue fighting, but have you ever thought about it? If you lose this decisive battle, then our Ping family will be exterminated." said Sheng Sheng of the Ping family.
"This, you go out first, I will think about it carefully." said Hirakimori.
"Brother, you must think clearly. We can't afford to lose." said Taiga Sheng.
"Shut up! Get out!" said Kaiki Sheng.
When Ping Jiasheng saw that his elder brother was really angry, he quickly turned around and went out. For a moment, only Ping Qingsheng, who had an ugly face, was left in the room.
Looking at the half-brother who went out, Ping Qingsheng knew that his younger brother was scared by the Wei Kingdom.
He had lost the courage to fight against Wei State. Ping Qingsheng really wanted to fight with Wei State happily.
But he knew that what his younger brother said made sense. If he lost this battle, the nobles would attack their families before.
I really can't afford to lose. Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart and asked someone to call my other brother, Ping Laisheng.
"Lai Sheng, Jia Sheng just suggested that I negotiate peace. I wonder what you think?" Ping Qingsheng asked.
Big brother, I think the second brother is right. We should have negotiated peace. Although I don’t want to admit it, we are indeed not opponents of Wei.
"Brother, I know you want to fight with Wei State happily, but have you ever thought about it? Let's not talk about whether you can fight."
"Even if we win by chance this time, what about next time? As far as I know, the Wei army that came this time is not even a second-rate in their country, right?"
"When the time comes, they will transfer other troops, what should we do to stop them? Will we have any extra strength to stop them at that time?" Ping Lai Sheng said
"Well, then, let's discuss peace. I'll leave the peace talks to you. I'm tired and I'm going to rest." Ping Qingsheng said tiredly.
Ping Laisheng withdrew from the room and walked towards Ping Jiasheng's room. Ping Qingsheng was extremely regretful at this time.
He regretted that he was not tough at the beginning and killed the Yuan Lai Chao, so that there was a great disaster today. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to regret it. I just hope that the conditions of Wei State should not be too excessive this time.
At this time, Ping Laisheng had already arrived at his elder brother's room. Yes, these two were brothers, so their relationship was naturally much closer.
"How is it? Did Hei Kiyoshi agree?" Heikazuo asked
"Brother, he has agreed and asked me to preside over this peace talk." Ping Lai Sheng said
"Okay, very good, brother, remember, as long as we don't let us give up other territory this time, everyone else can agree to them." said Heika Sheng.
"What? Brother, is this too..." Ping Lai Sheng said
"I'm confused, when did you see them back when did you see them?" said Taiga Sheng.
"But, I'm worried that he won't agree?" Ping Lai Sheng said
"Don't agree? He can't agree at that time. As long as the conditions of Wei can be met this time, then our Ping clan will still be the Ping clan. If we lose this time, our fate will be worse than Genji!" said Mori Hirai.
"Well, then I know, brother, I'll set out tomorrow, and I'll leave the family to you." Ping Lai Sheng said
"Don't worry, let's leave the family to me. He will have to agree at that time." said Taiga Sheng.
On the second day, Hei Lai Sheng set out, and as the news of his departure made peace spread, the entire Heian Kyoto became lively.
Yuan Wenshu finally thought of the conditions to be raised at that time. Yuan Wenshu took the prepared conditions and found King Huan.
King Huan looked at the conditions carefully and said, "Marquis Dingxiang, is this a bit too harsh? Will they agree?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, they will agree. Some of the lions are talking big, and there will be deletes when the time comes."
"But I don't know yet. I will delete it when I bring it, so I'll take all of it for you." Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, then the full responsibility for the negotiations with Japan this time will be left to you. If any preparation is needed, I will let Yongyi Hou cooperate with you." King Huan said
"Don't worry, your highness, let me leave this matter to you. You just need to let Yongyi Hou push the army to the border of Shanyang Road, and just wait for the soldiers." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Okay, I'll send a letter to Yongyi Hou now. What else is there?" said King Huan.
"There is no Your Highness for the time being." Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, then you go back first to prepare, I'll write a letter now." King Huan said
Yuan Wenshu withdrew from the room, while King Huan returned to the desk to write a letter.
Time passed in a flash. Ping Lai Sheng arrived at Shi Jianguo. Yuan Wenshu met him, and the two met in the conference hall.
"Marquis, my brother sent me here this time to discuss the truce with your country." Ping Lai Sheng said
"Oh? So, are you here to seek peace?" Yuan Wenshu said
"It can also be said that I just don't know what your country means?" Ping Lai Sheng said
"We Wei State is here to help your people and overthrow your current tyranny. Now you are seeking peace, so first of all, we must abdicate the current king." Yuan Wenshu said
"Your Excellency, I can't agree to you. Can you change it to other conditions?" Ping Lai Sheng said
"Oh? If you change to other conditions, it won't work, then listen."
First, the territory that our country now will never be returned to you.
Second, all ports in your country must be open unconditionally to our Wei Kingdom.
Third, when Chinese merchants communicate with your country, they shall not obstruct or collect taxes. All taxable income will be collected by a special person in our country.
Fourth, allow our country to dispatch officials to conduct diplomatic activities in the capital of your country.
Fifth, all our people who violate the corresponding laws in your country will be interrogated by our officials, and your country has no right to hear.
Sixth, our country is allowed to permanently garrison troops in the occupied territory.
Seventh, compensation for the military expenditure of our country's expedition totaled 30 million taels of silver.
"That's all our conditions. You can go back and reply to me after you have thought about it." Yuan Wenshu said
"Your Excellency, are your conditions a little too harsh? Our Emperor will not agree." Ping Lai Sheng said
"Oh? It's better if we don't agree. We just happened to go in directly, so we can save the trouble of talking." Yuan Wenshu said
"Your Excellency, this condition is really too harsh. Do you think you can make some deletion?" Ping Lai Sheng said
"Hmm? Delete? You have to be clear. You are now asking for peace! If you feel that you can't accept my conditions, then we can continue to fight!" Yuan Wenshu said.
"Marquis, I know what you mean. I will go back now and report to our Emperor. I hope you can give us more time, please." Ping Lai Sheng said
"Well? This is like a human saying. OK, then I will give you half a month. After half a month, if you haven't thought about it yet, then let's continue to fight." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Thank you, Marquis. I'll go back now. Please rest assured. I will definitely come back as soon as possible." Ping Laisheng bowed and said
"Well, hurry up. If it's too long, I can't control my soldiers. Okay, I'm tired too. You go." Yuan Wenshu said.
Ping Laisheng bowed and left. Yuan Wenshu didn't know what he thought, but he was sure that Ping Qingsheng would agree in the end.
Because they had no other way, the reason they chose to seek peace this time was because they dared not resist.
Wouldn't it be a pity to take advantage of this good opportunity to take a bite hard?
The conditions that Yuan Wenshu did this time actually did not touch the bottom line of Ping Qingsheng. There was only 30 million taels of military expenditure, and there might be problems.
As for other conditions? They will never care. After all, the other conditions are chronic and can be tolerated, unlike the 30 million taels of silver that need to be taken out immediately.
Yuan Wenshu stood up and walked towards King Huan. After all, the negotiations were over, so he had to tell him the result.
When Yuan Wenshu arrived, King Huan was actually waiting for him. Seeing him coming in, he hurriedly asked, "Marquis Dingxiang, what's wrong?"
"Your Highness, I have already told the Ping clan people that the person sent this time was Ping Qingsheng's younger brother. I gave him half a month," said Yuan Wenshu.
"Well, then according to your opinion, will they agree?" said King Huan.
"Don't worry, your highness, they will definitely agree." Yuan Wenshu said
"Hmm? Are you so sure?" King Huan asked curiously.
"Your Highness, my conditions actually seem very harsh, but in fact, I have not touched the bottom of Hiraki-sun."
