Chapter 947 The Beginning of War Reparations by the Great Powers

Chapter 947 War reparations, the beginning of the great powers!

Edo.

Imperial Palace.

Ning Fan sat on the main seat, and Emperor Ying stood silently below him like a servant.

"Your Highness, General Zhou sent a victory report, defeating Imagawa Shun's army and capturing more than 10,000 warriors."

"Good!"

Ning Fan slowly stood up and looked at Emperor Ying with a smile: "Your Majesty, our army won a great victory in this battle, what do you think?"

"A great victory?"

Emperor Ying was stunned for a moment, which side am I on?

You slaughtered my 100,000 troops, and you still want me to express something?

"Why, won't the soldiers in Daying be rewarded for their meritorious service?"

"Yes, of course!"

The Emperor of Ying showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said weakly: "But, they annihilated my army!"

"Oh?"

Ning Fan's eyes turned cold, and he said lightly: "So, Your Majesty is not on the same side as me?"

"Yes, of course!"

"Since you are on the same side as me, why did you send a large army to attack my troops?"

"No, not sent by me!"

"That's right!"

Ning Fan's face turned from gloomy to bright in an instant, and he smiled gently: "Since it was not sent by Your Majesty, it must be sent by our enemies."

"They are not warriors of Daying, but soldiers who betrayed Daying and the royal family!"

"I helped Your Majesty to quell the rebellion, and it shouldn't be too much for Your Majesty to give the soldiers some rewards?"

"Not too much!"

"Hmm!"

Ning Fan pondered for a moment, looked at a prince and minister behind Emperor Ying, and said lightly: "Draft an edict. Dayu's navy defeated the rebels and made great military achievements. All members of Dayu's navy will be rewarded with 30 stones of grain and grass, 100 taels of silver for the dead soldiers, two pieces of silk, ten pieces of linen, and 300 stones of grain!"

"Your Highness, isn't this reward a bit heavy?"

Ning Fan slowly stood up and looked at Dian Wei and Xu Huang and others on the side: "Is this reward heavy?"

"No, what kind of reward is this?"

"My lord, the soldiers helped the Yingzhou thieves to quell the rebellion, so they should give us silver!"

"Besides, Daying declared war on Dayu before, and has not yet made war reparations. This matter should also be discussed!"

Hearing Dian Wei's words, Ning Fan was also slightly stunned, and then cast an admiring look at him!

I didn't expect that Dian Wei, who looked like a big and strong kid, actually had the potential to be a great power!

"That's true!"

"In that case, Your Majesty, let's discuss the war reparations that Daying has paid to my Dayu first!"

The Emperor of Ying showed a look of difficulty on his face, looking at Ning Fan with some hesitation.

"Your Highness, Yingzhou and Dayu are allies now, aren't we one family?"

"Who the hell is one family with you!"

Dian Wei held his axe horizontally, with a murderous look on his face: "You are just a tiny country, and you are giving me a little color, but you really put yourself on the same level as my Dayu?"

"You really don't know how to live or die!"

"Yes, yes, General, you are right, it's me"

"What do you mean by me? I am the emperor of a small island country, who allowed you to call yourself me?"

"Then what should I call me?"

The Emperor of Ying was obviously more afraid of Dian Wei than Ning Fan, after all, this was a ruthless man who would chop people's heads with an axe if he didn't agree with him.

But Dian Wei didn't understand this, so he naturally turned his attention to Cao Cao.

"Since ancient times, foreign countries have called our Central Plains Dynasty their subordinates!"

"Now Yingzhou has also belonged to my Dayu's land, you should call yourself your subordinates!"

The Emperor of Ying felt insulted, silently clenched his fists, and said nothing.

Dian Wei refused to do it.

"What, you still don't want to?"

"Yes, your subordinate is willing!"

Ning Fan couldn't help but sneer, and a deep sense of comfort surged in his heart.

As for Yingzhou, he would not let him die too easily. It was indeed unrealistic to massacre all the millions of people in Yingzhou, but he could tame them!

Let them recognize their own lowliness and worship Dayu as a god forever!

"Since you agree, I will tell you my conditions!"

"Since Yingzhou has declared war on me, Dayu, let's discuss war reparations!"

"First, Yingzhou will pay Dayu 10,000 taels of silver!"

"10,000 taels?!"

The Emperor of Ying's eyes widened, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face. His Dayu's annual tax revenue was only over 2 million. 10,000 taels of silver?

How many years would it take to pay?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are joking!"

"The treasury reserves of my Great Ying for several years are only more than 10 million taels of silver. How can we afford the compensation?"

"No problem!"

Ning Fan showed a harmless smile and said lightly: "This palace understands your majesty's difficulties, and naturally will not let your majesty take it out all at once."

"According to your Great Ying's annual tax revenue of 2 million, these 10 million taels of silver can be repaid in just 50 years."

"Besides, the Great Ying treasury now has reserves. When your majesty pacifies the various vassal kings and confiscates their treasuries, according to my palace's speculation, the treasury can at least increase 10 million taels of tax revenue. In this way, plus the current inventory of the Great Ying treasury, it is enough to make up the huge amount of 20 million taels!"

"Your Majesty can pay the remaining 80 million taels in installments, or use the gold and silver mines of Yingzhou to pay off the debt!"

"This"

The Emperor of Ying really didn't want to agree, but now things are beyond his control. Not to mention that he is in negotiation, even if someone is robbing him openly, he can't resist!

"Second, Yingzhou needs to prepare 3 million shi of grain and 100 million jin of pig iron from Dayu!"

"And it needs to be prepared before the beginning of next spring!"

"Third, you personally draft an edict to inform Dayu that from now on, the sovereignty of the four islands of Dayu belongs to Dayu, and it needs to pay tribute to Dayu every year!"

"Fourth, Dayu will set up the Yingzhou Protectorate in Yingzhou!"

"The Protectorate has administrative power and the power to recruit soldiers. Dayu Huangshi can set up 30,000 troops directly under the royal family!"

"In addition, all other troops are under the control of the Protectorate!"

"Impossible!!!"

The veins on the forehead of the Emperor of Ying bulged, and he looked at Ning Fan angrily: "You don't want me..."

"You try to yell again!"

Dian Wei kicked the Emperor of Ying to the ground with one foot, and the axe was directly across his neck.

"You killed me!"

"I won't agree even if you kill me!"

"My people won't agree either, you are a devil, you have been lying to me!"

"What is the greatest emperor in the history of Yingzhou!"

"You are deceiving me, you are enslaving my Great Ying, I will never agree!"

The Emperor of Ying stiffened his neck, slowly closed his eyes, tears welled up on his face: "I won't agree, I don't want to be the eternal sinner of my Great Ying!"

"Kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

"You have guts!"

Ning Fan rarely looked up to him, but he didn't care, and said to Dian Wei lightly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor of Ying intends to die, E Lai, just fulfill his wish!"

"At worst, support another puppet to ascend to the position of Emperor of Ying!"
