Chapter 1420: "·Truce negotiations"

Be careful when choosing a friend! Authentic selfishness, will wear a mask of friendship, but set up traps to pit you.
Krelov (Russian writer, world-famous fable, writer)
War horses are the most valuable strategic resources on the grasslands and the most in short supply in landlocked countries; using salt, spices, tea, silk, pig iron to exchange sheep, cattle, and war horses is not a rival, so it is a matter of opinion Too.
Strategic resources such as table salt and pig iron can indeed help Mongolia become stronger, but war horses can also help Baifeng or the Tianlong Empire become stronger; they are also becoming stronger. In Baifeng’s view, this is how you would like to reciprocate Things of mutual benefit have nothing to do with the enemy.
Bai Feng, who has the Roman system in hand, actually lacks elite cavalry or high-quality war horses. The reason why he would agree to Temujin’s trade requirements is partly because the grassland does not have the resources he needs, and partly It is because he also has other ideas.
Judging from the status quo on the grassland, it is a matter of time for Mongolia to unify the entire grassland. The Tianlong Eight Banners directly controlled by Baifeng either migrated south into the territory of the Tianlong Empire to seek refuge in the Tianlong Empire, or were annexed by Mongolia. The third option.
Did the White Dragon Summit allow the Tianlong and Eight Banners pulled out by it to be absorbed by Mongolia? The answer must be no. It is a foregone conclusion that the Eight Dragon Flags will go south. In the future, the Dragon Empire will come forward to accept the submission of the Eight Dragon Flags.
The current Prince of the North, Governor Philip, is also an ambitious heir to the throne. His attitude towards Tianlong Baqi directly depends on whether Tianlong Baqi can help him; at this time, the role of the war horse can be reflected.
Tianlong Baqi itself is not rich in horse resources. It is through trade with Mongolia to obtain war horse resources, and then use the hands of Tianlong Eight Banners to continuously send war horses to the northern governor's office. It is not a bad thing for Baifeng.
Of the 16 standing legions in the northern capital city, the six most powerful standing legions are all under the commander Kuntus. The general of the system, Kuntus, is loyal to Baifeng. Does that need to be said?
In recent years, Prince Philip, who was initially very cold on Quintus, is gradually changing his attitude towards Quintus; perhaps because Bai Feng has not contacted Quintus for several years, Prince Philip has been trying to put Kun Tuth pulled into his camp.
Quintus, who was originally a Roman noble family, was able to cope with this level of enthusiasm, and he was naturally at ease; he not only successfully blended into the camp of Prince Philip, but also won the trust of Prince Philip and his confidant Fitch.
After gaining the trust of Prince Philip, the most direct benefit that Quintus obtained was that his army enjoyed the same treatment as other standing legions; occasionally, when the resource supply was not timely, Quintus’ army could also be given priority to be supplied. .
That is to say, at least one third or even half of the horses provided by the Eight Dragon Banners to the Northern Metropolitan Government will eventually be divided under Kuntus; who will be included in other standing legions in the future. Is still unknown.
"Bai Feng, we're done with the matter of free trade. Now it's time to talk about how you can help Ben Khan." Tiemu Zhen laughed.
Bai Feng, who knew that he was almost out of the immediate crisis, also responded with a smile: "Since the goal of the Khan King is to unify this grassland, then I don’t need to do much. I will do my best to provide all kinds of facilities for your country. Strategic resources needed."
"What if my goal is to expand my territory in Mongolia inland?"
"It depends on which direction Khan wants to expand."
Tiemu stared at Bai Feng deeply, and then ordered the ministers around him: "You're going back a hundred meters."
"Yes!" Torre, Zhebe and others immediately retreated.
"You all retreat to a distance of 100 meters." Maxi, Darnell and others also retreated to a distance of 100 meters under Bai Feng's order.
After only Temujin and Baifeng were left at the negotiation point, Temujin pulled out a map of sheepskin from his arms and said, "Baifeng, once we have unified the grasslands in Mongolia, there will only be two expansion directions. The south is the Dragon Empire, and the west is the Rhine Business Alliance."
"Khan, the background of the Tianlong Empire is far deeper than you think. I think the Rheinland Business Alliance is a good goal." Bai Feng, who needs time to accumulate his strength, decisively pushed the Rheinland Business Alliance out and tried to use the Rheinland Business Alliance. Attract Temu's real attention.
"With the current strength of our Mongolia, it is indeed unrealistic to whale your Tianlong Empire, but it is not difficult to just bite a piece of fat on your Tianlong Empire; your Baifeng's territory is in the east of the Tianlong Empire, and there should be no need to control the north. Thing?"
"The six provinces in the northern part of the empire do not belong to me, but if the fighting escalates, the troops of the empire will go north to participate in the war; then, even if I want to avoid fighting with your Mongolian army, it is impossible. "" Bai Feng pretended helplessly.
"My Mongolian cavalry will lead the army south at the right time. As long as the harvest is not very small, they will withdraw almost; the premise is that you Bai Feng must cooperate with us, for example, the siege equipment we need to attack the city, At least you have to provide some."
As soon as Bai Feng heard the words "siege equipment", his brows frowned slightly. He could provide strategic materials such as pig iron and table salt to Mongolia, but he did not want to hand over more advanced equipment manufacturing technology to Mongolia. Is the real enemy.
The ballistic artillery, scorpion cross, stone crossbow and other siege equipment currently used in the Roman army, as well as the siege towers, siege cones, cloud ladders and other siege equipment that are standard in the Tianlong Empire, the manufacturing technology of these things is not very complicated. It is easy to imitate if there is a finished product.
If some people think that the people of Mongolia are all grassland barbarians, and if they have finished products, they may not be able to copy siege equipment and utensils with low technical content, then it is wrong; even the orcs know that they are copied by the captured Tianlong craftsmen, Genghis Khan Tiemu really can't think of it?
"Ten siege towers, ten siege cones, and a hundred cloud ladders are enough for your Mongolian army to capture any city."
"Bai Feng, you know what I want, don't come hit me with this sloppy eye." Tiemu Zhen rejected Bai Feng's proposal and directly made his request: "The three instruments used by your army, I want one hundred for each!"
"Khan, if you can find one hundred of these three instruments in my camp, I will agree to your request."
"Every twenty doors, this is my bottom line." Tiemu's attitude was extremely determined.
Knowing that he had to make a choice in order to get out of his part, Bai Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Every ten!"
"Deal!" Tiemu really had a smug smile on his face in an instant.
