Black Iron Crown

Hamel Khan restrained the smile on his face, put on a serious look again and sat casually on the luxurious carpet.

This carpet was looted by the prairie cavalry from the gentry and nobles in the eastern part of the empire. It is not extremely luxurious, but it is still much better than those on the prairie.

Although Hamel Khan was a little old, he was still tall and burly. He sat on the carpet, and the previous Da Nayan lifted the curtain of the big tent.

"Great Khan, the Ridka people have been brought here!" Da Na respectfully said to Hamel Khan.

"Hmm..." Hamier Khan nodded slightly, noncommittal, and looked up and down the envoys from the imperial capital without saying a word, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"What message does your emperor want you to bring me?" Hamier Khan said unceremoniously.

"It's such a respected Great Khan..." The envoy hurriedly said after hearing the translation: "Our Emperor said that the war between the two sides was a complete misunderstanding, a war that shouldn't have happened in the first place!"

"At the same time, he said that he regrets this war, but in order to avoid causing greater losses to both sides, we should restore peace. After all, we used to have a deep friendship..."

Hearing the other party's high-sounding words, Hamel Khan seemed uninterested. He didn't know that there would always be such an exchange before the armistice between the Redka people. He thought it was the little emperor who refused to admit the defeat of the war and wanted to call him stop.

Such insincere behavior naturally made Hamel Khan very dissatisfied, so Hamel Khan waved his hand casually, and said with a cold face: "Since your Majesty the Emperor feels that he is not wrong in this matter, then So don't go on talking any more, let's speak with swords on the battlefield!"

After speaking, Hamel Khan stood up from the carpet, got up and came to a small stove, and picked up a pottery jug with iron tongs.

The envoys of the imperial capital did not expect Hamel Khan to be so determined and shameless, and they all turned pale with shock.

"Everyone, please come with me!" Da Nayan, who served Hamel Khan, said to the envoys.

"Wait! The Great Khan!" The messenger hurriedly said: "Our Emperor naturally realized the mistake of the war just now, and at the same time, he is willing to pay enough for it to make up for the loss of the Great Khan!"

This envoy knew what kind of pressure his Majesty was facing in the imperial capital, wanted to know His Majesty's instructions, and was very obsessed with completing the task.

The translator also hastily conveyed the messenger's words to Hamel Khan.

When Hamier Khan heard this, he turned his head and showed a little smile, but he still couldn't say he was enthusiastic.

Hamel Khan said calmly: "Oh? Your Majesty the Emperor is willing to make up for the losses I suffered in this war?"

"Yes, Great Khan, our emperor is rich all over the world, and he is not unreasonable. In order to restore the friendship between him and you, as well as between the two countries, he is willing to pay some insignificant things!"

Hamel Khan was a little upset when he heard the emissary's relaxed and arrogant words, but since the other party was willing to pay the price, he no longer cares about it.

So he said: "I don't know how your emperor is willing to compensate me?"

"Our Majesty is willing to give you one hundred thousand tons of food again,

In addition, there are two thousand barrels of wine, one hundred kilograms of sugar, and twenty thousand bolts of linen, ten thousand woolen cloth, and one thousand bolts of velvet. What do you think? "

This time, in order to ensure safety and domestic stability, the little emperor spent a lot of money, and the things he gave out were quite generous!

After hearing this, Hamier Khan was also in a daze. He didn't expect that the little emperor Jue'an was willing to offer so many things to please himself.

For a moment, Hamel Khan inevitably became arrogant, thinking that he made the other party feel afraid.

In addition, he also felt that he might get more.

So, he restrained the surprise in his heart, and said with a flat face: "I thought your emperor was so generous, but in the end, he only took out such a little thing to send me away?"

Afterwards, Hamel Khan acted dissatisfied: "If it's just like this, then you should go back. This thing is not as much as I have plundered from the eastern lands that I know about you now. Your emperor looks down on me so much, so I can naturally Let my warriors take it for themselves!"

What Hamel Khan said immediately made the envoy feel in a dilemma. He wanted to walk away, but he was thinking about His Majesty's instructions.

So, he could only ask helplessly: "Then, what kind of gift do you think the Great Khan would like to restore the friendship between the two parties?"

Hamel Khan didn't have an intuitive understanding of the empire's capabilities, so he said loudly: "200,000 tons of grain, 4,000 barrels of fine wine, 200 kilograms of sugar, 40,000 bolts of linen, and 20,000 bolts of wool Cloth, and two thousand bolts of velvet!"

Hamel Khan simply doubled the conditions proposed by the envoy, and he felt that he had to do so if he wanted to avoid losses.

The envoy was stunned when he heard this, such a condition is an astronomical figure even for the empire!

200,000 tons of food is not too much, and it is not too difficult for the empire to get it out. Forty thousand bolts of linen can be taken out if you bite your teeth. It is the most expensive things like sugar, woolen cloth, and velvet!

These things cannot be produced by the little emperor himself, which means that he must spend money to buy them!

Grain linen is something that the little emperor can produce by himself, so no matter how much it is, it is nothing.

But things like sugar velvet are real luxury goods, and the technology of wool cloth is still kept secret.

Now the empire does not lack supplies, but the most lacking thing is currency, or the empire does not lack currency, but the royal family lacks currency.

If such a condition is really met, even if the little emperor doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, at least he will have to delay the speed of recovery.

The frightened messenger hurriedly explained the situation to Hamel Khan and begged him to lower his request.

Seeing that the other party's pleading did not seem to be fake, Hamel Khan hesitated a little.

He was not without worries.

The prairie people galloped freely, and they did have good combat effectiveness in field battles, but once they encountered a tough battle, they would be numb.

Firstly, they don't have sophisticated siege equipment, and secondly, they don't live in the city themselves, so they have no experience in siege warfare at all.

If the negotiations fail to reach an agreement, and the two parties break up, let alone more benefits, they will not get the benefits that the other party proposed just now.

Thinking of this, Hamier Khan said calmly: "Well, for the sake of telling the truth, tell me what kind of conditions you can accept! But don't try to deceive me, you know the consequences !"

The envoy hastily stated the highest condition given by the little emperor. He just wanted to bring the good news to His Majesty as soon as possible, and he forgot all the diplomatic tricks.

In the end, the two sides reached a final peace agreement with 120,000 tons of grain, 4,000 barrels of fine wine, 30,000 bolts of linen, 200 bolts of sugar, 10,000 bolts of woolen cloth, and 1,000 bolts of velvet.
