Chapter 2110 War Reparations
Bai Yixiu said in a deep voice: "Since you are an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why do you always say that you should be kind to the Black Chi Kingdom? Haven't you seen the truth of the matter after so many lessons?
The country and the country cannot be allowed to live in peace by virtue of kindness, but by virtue of interests and force.
The Great Zhou has enough force so that they dare not oppose the Great Zhou; if they can restrain the Kingdom of Heichi and make the Kingdom of Heichi belong to the Great Zhou, it will not be the most opposite to the Great Zhou.
This time, if there were no weapons I developed, the losses would be heavy, and the Black Chi Kingdom and Fusang Kingdom would be attacked on both sides. Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty was not destroyed, it would be shaken.
As a result, countless soldiers and ordinary people were killed and injured. Has the Kingdom of Heichi was once kind to the Great Zhou? If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Master Wang was not named on the list found, I would have thought that the Imperial Master Wang was a spy hidden in the Great Zhou of Heichi Kingdom."
When the Imperial Master Wang heard Bai Yixiu's words, his forehead was covered with sweat.
He felt that the words of King An and the old man from Zhenguo were actually somewhat reasonable.
In the past, they insisted on being kind and released those from the Black Chi Kingdom, but the Black Chi Kingdom often tore up the contract and continued to invade the Great Zhou.
Because the Blackchi Kingdom is a nomadic people, they ride on horseback and run away if they grab it, and they can't catch up.
When the Great Zhou turmoil or encounters famine, the Heichi Kingdom will start an attack of a large army, which is indeed unethical.
Thinking of this, the King of Censors quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am loyal. I was not fully thoughtful just now, and a leaf was blinded. Thanks to the shocking words of King An and Duke Zhenguo, I am so shocked.
The country of Heichi does not pay attention to morality. We pay attention to morality and kindness with them. It is simply playing the piano for cows and has no effect. Since the previous method is useless, then try the Duke of Zhenguo, or maybe it will do it!"
When everyone heard the words of King An and Censor Wang, they also felt that it made sense, but they also admired that Censor Wang could bend and stretch.
Of course, the Minister of Revenue was willing to go into the warehouse for more than one million silver. Although it was not much, it was also silver and could also play a great role.
Shangshu Lu respectfully set out, "I am willing to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
······
Even the Imperial Master Wang knelt down. Many of them were originally neutral. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo rarely spoke, but every time he spoke, he hit the nail on the head.
Emperor Kang Ming was very happy when he heard this and nodded, "Okay, Lord Li, Minister of Rites, this time the Heichi Kingdom came to seek peace. The prisoners cannot let them go back easily, and must be redeemed.
If they are unwilling to redeem, they will take them to build roads and repay the murders they have committed and atone for sins.
In addition, the ambition of Fusang Kingdom has not sent envoys to admit their mistakes yet. Since this is the case, I, the Great Zhou, sent envoys to ask them to compensate me, the Great Zhou, for the losses of one million taels of silver.
Otherwise, if the two countries break off diplomatic relations, and when the number of ships on my side is sufficient, we will inevitably flatten the Fusang Kingdom."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The court officials knelt on the ground, delighting Emperor Kang Ming's enlightenment and decision.
However, something very important happened before the New Year. The Great Zhou insisted on letting the Blackchi Kingdom redeem the prisoners.
A nobleman captured a hundred taels of silver and a nobleman was the same as an ordinary soldier.
According to statistics from the Ministry of War, a total of more than 113,600 prisoners were captured.
If the Blackchi Kingdom wants to redeem all these people, it must be astronomical.
