Chapter 3203

Each of the three demands made by Shi Diwen were aimed at Ming Dynasty's face. Yue Shizong would definitely not dare to agree at this time, otherwise he would definitely be charged with "losing power and humiliating the country" a few months later.

But Qiu said that he really didn't have the confidence to break up with Haihan. After all, it was not the wrong side that was afraid of war, but the Ming Dynasty.

Based on the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the number of troops that can be immediately mobilized on the battlefield is only one or two hundred thousand people. However, the border between the control areas of the two countries is thousands of miles long, and the Haihan Army can choose to serve as nuclear armies in North China, East China, and South China.

Huaijiang sent troops, and Ming Dynasty had no time to mobilize troops to deal with the mistake.

For a clear plan, Yue Shizong can use the "drag trick". If the follow-up processing of the matter can be postponed for a longer period of time, to three to five months, perhaps the situation will turn around.

Yue Shizong tried to calm down his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Master Shi's proposal is beyond my authority. I need to ask the imperial court for instructions on this matter before I give a reply to your country."

But Yue Shizong ignored the fact that Haihan had no intention of resolving the matter through lengthy negotiations from the beginning. For Shi Diwen, all he had to do was find a high-sounding reason to fall out with Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty agrees to those harsh conditions, it will be a good thing, and it will save Dong Dong a lot of trouble. If the Ming Dynasty refuses to admit defeat, then Dong Lai will restart the war, and that is not the direction Shi Diwen is preparing for.

Shi Diwen shook his head and said: "Master Yue, I want to postpone that matter until it becomes a major issue and become a trivial matter. Is that okay? The three requests he just mentioned have been sent to you through other channels.

If you don’t receive a satisfactory reply within ten days in the capital of your country, then other countries will have other ways to seek justice.”

Although Shi Diwen didn't say it directly, Yue Shizong already understood what it meant.

Yue Shizong even went to persuade: "Lord Shi, please be patient and don't be impatient. Everything has been discussed. Please consider the people of Tiandong and never use weapons rashly."

Shi Diwen responded expressionlessly: "That does not negate his personal wishes, but the decision of the Haihan Executive Committee."

Yue Shizong even went to look at the other people and begged: "My lords, peace between the two countries is hard-won. If the war rekindles, it will definitely not be a good thing for both countries. Please think again!"

Yan Chujie sneered: "When your country planned the assassination operation, did anyone advise them to think twice before taking action?"

Yue Shizong saw whether the two military men had a tough attitude, and Tao Donglai's position seemed to be more inclined to them. Now he could place his hope on Ning Qi, who had not expressed his position. As far as he knew, Ning Qi was on the Haihan Executive Committee

There was a moderate faction in the meeting. If Ning Qi had presided over the peace talks between Ming Dynasty and Haihan, he might have gained something.

"Master Ning, to be fair, the current situation should be at a stage where the problem can be solved through negotiation, right?"

However, even Ning Qi's attitude seemed to have become tougher that time: "Master Yue, although the assassination attempt on them was unsuccessful, it was not a serious provocation in nature. If other countries did not respond forcefully to this,

So what will the public think of the executive committee?”

"Very likely, according to the information they have, the assassination was not a personal act, but was initiated by your country's imperial court. Since it was done innocently, it should bear the corresponding consequences."

Tao Donglai took over the conversation and said: "Master Yue, the purpose of their meeting with me tomorrow is not to discuss with me the solution to the matter, but to inform me of their request and ask me to arrange and implement it as soon as possible.

"

"If your country cannot meet the demands of other countries, then there is no need to ask for your opinion on how other countries should handle the incident. After all, when the group of people sneaked into Hangzhou, they were not prepared to ask for their opinions.

No?"

Yue Shizong was stunned. It seemed that the other party had no intention of leaving room for mediation and negotiation, and had already made plans to use force. The meeting with him was just a formality, so as not to give the wrong excuse for an undeclared war.

Yue Shizong knew that if he continued to waste his words, he would not be successful, and he suddenly felt despair. He stood up and said goodbye: "My lords, if this is not the case, then it is useless to say more, so let's say goodbye!"

Tao Donglai said: "Master Yue, although the assassination case has been identified, the embassy's lockdown order cannot be lifted for the time being. Considering that the embassy should have official documents requesting to be sent back abroad, we hereby approve the embassy to send people to leave the city.

Of course, if I want to go there myself, that’s no problem.”

Yue Shizong arched his legs and responded: "I am an envoy appointed by the imperial court to be stationed in Hangzhou. I dare not leave Hangzhou without the imperial court's order. I accept Master Tao's kindness."

Seeing Yue Shizong's back disappear, Ning Qi said: "That Yue Shizong is quite courageous. He is very reluctant to leave Hangzhou if given the chance."

Tao Donglai shook his head slightly and said: "If he doesn't have the courage, but if he sees the situation clearly, if he goes back, he will face greater trouble than if he stayed in Hangzhou!"

Ning Qi was stunned for a moment, then figured out the mystery, and nodded in agreement: "I was wrong, the best way for him to protect himself now is to stay in Hangzhou!"

If Yue Shizong goes back and Haihan starts the war, then his envoy in Hangzhou will become the scapegoat to take the blame anyway, and being dismissed from his post should be considered a light thing.

If he wanted to escape that difficulty, the only way was to stay in Hangzhou for the time being. Can Buxian persuade Haihan to solve the problem through negotiation, but at least he would not be immediately punished by the imperial court.

Shi Diwen said: "The procedures that should be followed have been completed, so we can prepare for war after receiving Donglai."

Ning Qi said: "He originally thought that I would be like other generals and support the faction that puts foreign forces first, but he didn't expect that I quietly aimed my gun at the Ming Dynasty."

Shi Diwen said sternly: "Yes, it's the Ming Dynasty, but what's the mistake? There are only a few neighboring countries in the East China Sea region, Ryukyu, Yueben and those barren areas. It's of no use to come east, so the Ming Dynasty will be left.

Is that a goal?”

At this point, everyone in the executive committee has actually seen Shi Diwen's intention, and they know whether he wants to take this opportunity to cut off a piece of flesh in the Ming Dynasty. However, his plan is obviously not the same as that of various places some time ago.

Military generals' statements in favor of overseas expansion through the sea go against the trend.

Tao Donglai said: "If they didn't come to Hangzhou that time, what would I do?"

Shi Diwen said: "If we don't come, then Ming's assassins won't come either, and there won't be those things. But since we are here, no matter what we do, it will not be against the decision of the executive committee, nor will it be against his personal wishes.

.”

Tao Donglai said: "It seems that if I have considered all the factors, the executive committee's decision will definitely be in line with my personal wishes."

Shi Diwen said: "Then it's because his personal wishes coincide with the national interests, that's all."
