It makes sense, because those things used to belong to themselves, and many people told themselves that the entire empire would be theirs in the future, but it is different now, and many people know it. The empire will not be theirs in the future, so there is no

It is necessary to feel distressed. It is definitely better to have an incomplete empire that you can rule than to have a complete empire that has nothing to do with you. However, the prince is not a fool. He also wants to sign with Li Cong.

Those who have signed a contract will not be allowed to move south after taking over the northern administrative region.

"Okay. There is no problem with the northern administrative region. The vassal states in the middle are also yours. I don't want it anymore, but you must declare it to the world and you are not allowed to go south for fifty years." The prince thought for a while and said, he wanted Li Cong never to

It is impossible to go to the south, but it should be no problem in fifty years. Obviously Wu Hai did not expect this. He did not expect that the prince would become smarter after experiencing such a thing. Fifty years

Year? Are you kidding? Li Cong will definitely move south in three to five years at most. Three to five years will be enough to solve the problem of the barbarians.

"Your Highness, I don't think I can make the decision on what you are talking about. Fifty years is too long. I have to talk to the prince about this issue." If Li Cong were here, he would definitely agree to this matter.

Well, this is nothing to discuss. He said fifty years is just fifty years. What kind of treaty is of no use at all? If the treaty is useful, what is the need for the army? The treaty is just a combination of useless things.

Yes, it won't have any effect, but Wu Hai is not as cunning as Li Cong. In fact, it is fortunate that Wu Hai came to talk about this issue. If Li Cong had agreed directly, the prince would probably still be suspicious. As expected,

After Wu Hai said that he would go back and discuss it with Li Cong, the prince's face relaxed obviously. He didn't think Li Cong could abide by the treaty, but the credibility of the discussion was a little higher.

, besides, I have no hope now.

"There is another His Highness the Crown Prince. The cession of land is only one aspect. We have other conditions in this treaty. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will take a good look at it. If you are not satisfied with anything, we can modify it. Our Prince

I have said that this treaty is definitely a treaty that is beneficial to both of us, including the trade and other things that your Southern Empire most hopes for. I hope we can make a decision on these conditions when I come back." Wu.

When Hai left the house, he put a few pieces of paper in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. These things were also very important, but in Wu Hai's opinion, these things were far less meaningful than an administrative district in the Southern Empire. These things were all external possessions.

, you don’t need too much at all, territory and population are important. Without territory, no matter how much money you have, it will be of no use. This is also related to Wu Hai’s lack of such a long-term vision.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and took the alliance treaty drafted by Li Cong himself and took a look at it. There were some useless things in front of it. Li Cong also found such things from some previous treaties. If these things were not

I feel like it's missing something, but if it were written, not many people would read it. Most people don't care about these things, they only care about the more specific things at the end.

First of all, the first item is about the issue of compensation. The Southern Empire has to pay the Northern Empire a lump sum of 1.5 billion gold coins for the war compensation. When the prince saw this, he felt that it was not a lot. This amount of money may be a big sum in the eyes of the Northern Empire.

Son, but it is nothing to the Southern Empire, but the indemnity treaty is not over yet. The next clause is that the Southern Empire needs to pay the Northern Empire a sponsorship of 10 billion gold coins in batches every year within five years.

The money is in the name of donation. To put it nicely, the Southern Empire has to pay 11.5 billion gold coins in exchange for peace. This doesn't matter to the prince. Others don't know how rich the Southern Empire royal family is.

But you know, there is nothing wrong with the money, just give it if you give it. As long as you can ascend to the position of emperor, everything is secondary. One-tenth of the area of ​​a province has been ceded. Do you still care about it?

The money comes back as soon as it changes hands.

The second article is about the dispatch of permanent representatives from both sides. In this regard, the Southern Empire only needs to set up an embassy in the imperial capital of the Northern Empire and two other big cities. However, the Northern Empire has to establish dozens of embassies in the Southern Empire.

The prince felt that the establishment of embassies in cities was of no use. He did not see the things behind these things at all, so he just glanced at them. Since you are willing to set up embassies everywhere, it is your business, and I will not stop you.

The third article is about the issue of treaty ports. The two countries should open five to ten treaty ports on the border between the two countries. In the past, this was definitely something that the Southern Empire dreamed of. I really didn’t expect that the Northern Empire would now

He proposed it so happily, and saw that there were no additional conditions. The prince didn't care. In the past, the economy of the Northern Empire could not keep up with the Southern Empire, so naturally he was unwilling to do business with them, but now Li Cong has the backing of the earth.

, he is afraid that the Southern Empire will not do business with him. Why is there so little compensation in the treaty? Isn’t it just here? As long as Li Cong wants to go to the Southern Empire to make money, the money will be like running water.

into his own pocket, and more importantly, Li Cong captured the Savage Tribe. The Savage Tribe's things were already priceless in the Northern Empire, and they would definitely be even more valuable in the Southern Empire, just like

A good-quality fur may not be worth much in the savages, but it costs over a thousand gold coins in the provincial capital of the northern administrative region of the Northern Empire, tens of thousands of gold coins in the imperial capital, and hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the Southern Empire.

It's possible. Of course, if others want to do this business, it's probably in vain. There are only officers and soldiers in the north of Guangming City, not ordinary people.

The fourth article is about Li Cong's intention to send troops to help the Southern Empire deal with the fish people. Everyone knows that there is no threat from the fish people in the Southern Empire now. Unless someone like the Snake Queen appears, there will be no threat. Otherwise, there will be no threat from the fish people in the Southern Empire.

Otherwise, they can only be bullied by humans. Everyone is very clear about this, so anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Cong's purpose. He wants to control the Southern Empire. Li Cong proposed to control the Southern Empire within the borders of the Southern Empire.

A total of 500,000 quick reaction troops are stationed in three places. These troops will help the Southern Empire resist the attack of the fishmen. At the same time, there is a cement road outside these troops connected with the Northern Empire. Of course, the road is built.

The money has to be paid by the Southern Empire. These three roads will take a total of one year and require more than 30,000 technicians from the Northern Empire and hundreds of thousands of workers from the Southern Empire to complete. In the end, the Southern Empire wanted to thank

The Northern Empire built three express highways with a total length of 2,050 kilometers for the Southern Empire and needed to pay 11.2 billion gold coins. When the prince saw this, he wanted to tear up the treaty directly, but he did not have the courage. He knew it well.

Knowing what kind of person he is now, he is simply not qualified to do such a thing. Li Cong only told him such a contract because of his current situation. If there were no such contracts

, he might face imprisonment after returning. Thinking of this, the prince continued to read.

The next article is about the prisoners of war in the Northern Empire. So far, the Northern Empire has captured a total of 3.17 million troops from the Southern Empire, including three generals, 28 generals of Zhenguo, 50 generals of auxiliary countries, and Fengguo.

There are 115 generals and 150 untitled generals. If calculated according to titles, there is one duke, four marquises, thirteen counts, and the rest are hundreds of imperial nobles, including more than thirty

The members of the royal family are of course little-known people. The Northern Empire will use them for one year, and after one year they will need the Southern Empire to pay them a ransom fee of 3.5 billion gold coins. Of course, this

The 3.5 billion gold coins are given to ordinary soldiers to redeem themselves. As for those who are officials, I'm sorry, this is a personal relationship between the empire and them, and letters will be sent to their homes one by one. Their ransoms are not needed by the Southern Empire.

Out.

The last one is also the one that His Royal Highness the Prince does not understand the most, that is, consular jurisdiction. This is the first time he has heard of such a thing. According to the explanation given by Li Cong below, one country has jurisdiction over another country through its consuls stationed abroad.

A system in which nationals of a country exercise jurisdiction in accordance with its own laws. This is a kind of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Its existence forms an exception or infringement on the country’s territorial superiority. In fact, during the First and Second World Wars

, consular jurisdiction is an illegal privilege enjoyed by imperialism in colonial countries. Li Cong's explanation to him naturally did not say that. Li Cong played a trick, which meant that citizens of both sides broke the law in the other country.

All cases must be judged according to the laws of the other country. On the surface, it seems that the laws of the Southern Empire are much looser than those of the Northern Empire. The prince also feels that he has benefited a lot. As for some details of consular jurisdiction, he has no explanation at all.

I didn’t look at it. This also caused the Southern Empire to suffer a lot from this in the future. Their residents in the Northern Empire were decreasing day by day, and those who came over were slaves and so on. However, there were more and more people from the Northern Empire in the Southern Empire.

, most of them are powerful people. They rely on this consular jurisdiction to run rampant everywhere, but this is a story for another day. If the prince could see everything at that time, he would probably be there now.

You wouldn't have signed such a contract if you had to pay more money.

There is nothing more below. They are some action steps listed by Li Cong for the prince. Of course, Li Cong does not know everything about the Southern Empire, so many things must be decided by the prince himself. Li Cong gave him

His suggestion is to first restrain the emperor's uncle and others, and then replace all the 200,000 troops they brought with Li Cong's men and take them back. Although it is impossible to seize the entire empire,

But there is no problem in seizing the imperial capital. After the prince takes control of the imperial capital, the prince can control a large number of troops inside and outside the imperial capital of the Southern Empire. After getting rid of the prince's brothers, this is when he becomes emperor. Li Cong also has

For his own selfish reasons, he has never met other princes of the Southern Empire, and does not know how capable those people are, but the prince in front of him is a complete idiot. To support such a person, his former

I have done a lot of things, and I am familiar with them, so I will not have any scruples when I kill them in the future. As for fifty years, forget it.

Later that day, the prince and Li Cong concluded a treaty. Just half an hour after they signed, the prince disappeared from his room. The emperor and his uncle were very frightened and wanted to search for him in the imperial capital.

Something happened, but just when they were about to go out, the prince in fine clothes came back, accompanied by Li Cong, and it seemed that they were talking very happily. The emperor's uncle and some senior officials of the Southern Empire also felt about this matter.

Some stared, what on earth is going on, how can the two of them be friends? It feels like this is absolutely wrong, and they are definitely people from two worlds.

"Uncle, where are you going at this late hour?" the prince said, looking at the uncle and the others, as if the guy who had lost his life just now was not him at all. The prince now looked absolutely high-spirited, as if

There are many other things. What happened to this guy? How could he change so quickly? Did this guy get something?

"I...we..." The emperor's uncle was about to say that he was going to find him, but he seemed to be unable to speak. He lowered his head and glanced at his chest. The prince had already stabbed the emperor's uncle with a dagger.

The emperor's uncle felt that some organ in his stomach had been broken by this guy. What on earth was this guy doing? The emperor didn't expect that he would die in the Northern Empire. He felt that he was tired.

, and slowly watched himself fall at the prince's feet.

"Prince...you...how could you kill the emperor's uncle..." Marquis Cary said. No one else knew what happened. They all knew it was better not to speak at this time, but he said it.

, the prince glanced at him, no one else spoke, only you were talking nonsense.

"What? What did you say? Marquis Cary, are you allowed to talk nonsense? Why did you see me killing him? I just saw you killing him. What do you think?" The prince smiled coldly.

After a moment, as soon as he finished speaking, a dozen people with serial crossbows appeared behind him. Each of these people aimed at the nobles of the Southern Empire in front of them. Look at the nobles of the Southern Empire.

The guards, they looked at them as if nothing happened at this moment, as if they didn't care about their affairs at all. They were not here to guard these people. Soon these nobles knew what was going on. These guards dared to do this

There is definitely a reason for their inaction, and the reason lies with the Crown Prince in front of them. If His Royal Highness doesn't let them take care of this matter, they naturally don't dare to take care of it.

"Yes...yes, I saw it. The emperor's uncle was killed by Marquis Cary just now. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. Marquis Cary, you really committed a heinous crime." At this time, there was a noble boy behind Marquis Cary.

Said, he is the guy who snatched his wife from Wu Hai, but now he has cleared up the past, his mind is still spinning faster, if this is in the Southern Empire, he will definitely not talk nonsense, after all, his

There is an organization behind him, and his organization can't just let him speak so casually, but now, he still chooses to side with the prince. There are a large number of serial crossbowmen behind the prince. If these people really
Chapter completed!
