"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1118
After hearing Lu Quan's words, Prince Hanhai didn't seem surprised because he had expected it.
The internal situation in the Far East is in turmoil, and Han Hai naturally pays attention to the situation in the Far East all the time.
Moreover, there are even many small forces in the Far East with the shadow of the vast sea behind them.
Hanhai has long been interested in the Far East, so they are very happy about the current situation in the Far East.
The reason why they didn't brazenly send troops to the Far East to seize territory is because they came from nowhere.
Moreover, there is a Holy See next to it, and they have to guard against it, so they just make some small moves in secret.
Now the rebel emperor Long Tian in the Far East personally sent the prime minister Lu Quan to rescue, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
It is also tantamount to formally asking for help from the Hanhai Dynasty. If Hanhai sends troops, there will be an upright reason.
"This matter is a little difficult."
However, Prince Hanhai did not agree immediately, but tapped on the chair with his fingers showing embarrassment, as if he was making a difficult choice.
Lu Quan, as the prime minister of the Far East rebel camp, is also a high-ranking and powerful man, and he has been immersed in the court for many years. Naturally, he knows that Han Hai is not so easy to agree, and he will definitely rip them off.
Fortunately, before Lu Quan left, the rebel emperor Long Tian had already granted him great power.
That is, as long as the assistance of Hanhai and the Holy See can be obtained, it is all right to cede land and pay.
Long Tian's idea is very simple, that is to temporarily compromise, eliminate Chen Ziang, the number one enemy, and then accumulate strength to take back the ceded land step by step.
Long Tian's thinking was exactly the same as that of his elder brother Long Jun, who had died of illness, when he begged the wolf cavalry army to attack.
It's just a pity that his elder brother Long Jun passed away before completing his plan.
"His Royal Highness, the thief chieftain Chen Ziang is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he has a blood feud with your country. If this thief is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles."
Although he knew that Han Hai was going to beat bamboo poles, Lu Quan still knew his interests and told Han Hai that Chen Ziang was not only their enemy, but also a potential threat to Han Hai.
"So there is such a thing?"
Prince Hanhai also showed a look of surprise, as if he didn't know.
"This matter is absolutely true, and now the thief chieftain has already called himself the prince." Lu Quan said.
"Since it is a remnant of the previous dynasty, then we Hanhai must not keep him."
The reason why the Long family was able to overthrow the previous dynasty was not only their own black hands, but also the support of external forces, and Han Hai and the Holy See also participated in it.
If it was the restoration of the former dynasty, then the Holy See and the Hanhai Dynasty would definitely bear the brunt and become the targets of revenge.
"It's just that our army has not fought for a long time, there are not enough soldiers, the equipment is rusty, and the army has no preparations for the expedition. Even if we want to send troops, it will be difficult to do it in a while."
Although Prince Hanhai said that he would send troops, but after a change of subject, it became difficult to speak again.
"His Royal Highness, as long as Hanhai can send troops to help, we can provide some money and food."
"In that case, it would be great."
Lu Quan also knew that the other party was the master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he took the initiative to speak, and Prince Hanhai showed a smile on his face.
"I have important matters to deal with later, and Xiong Tianfei, the second assistant to the cabinet, will talk to you in detail later."
Prince Hanhai and Lu Quan exchanged some general opinions with each other, and then left soon, while the specific details were handed over to a cabinet assistant of Hanhai.
Lu Quan also knew that the crown prince of Hanhai held real power and had already started to assist the emperor in handling general government affairs. It was impossible to discuss the details with him, so he didn't care.
Not long after, Lu Quan was taken to another palace, and had detailed negotiations with Xiong Tianfei, Han Hai's cabinet assistant, on the specific agreement between the two parties.
And Xiong Tianfei, the second assistant to the cabinet, has long been instructed by Emperor Hanhai and the prince, so naturally he wants all kinds of benefits.
After a long period of back-and-forth negotiations, ten preconditions for dispatching troops were finally drawn up.
Among them, after the elimination of Chen Ziang's troops, the Far East will lease the eastern province, Yunzhong Province, to Hanhai for three hundred years.
Of course, this leaseIt's just to take care of the face of the Far East, which is actually a cession.
At the same time, the Far East also needs to ensure that Hanhai's ships can enter and leave the Dongjiang River Basin in the Far East in the future, and at the same time reduce or exempt the commercial tax of the Hanhai caravan doing business in the Far East and other conditions.
The Far East rebel camp is now in danger, so facing these conditions proposed by Han Hai, there is naturally no way to refuse them.
It's just that Lu Quan still fought for some things. For example, Hanhai will provide them with a batch of weapons, equipment and food fodder. Of course, these are all in the form of loans, which need to be repaid annually in the future.
As the prime minister of the rebel camp, Lu Quan's mission to Hanhai this time also bears the heavy trust of Emperor Longtian.
Although the signed agreement was almost a completely unequal agreement, but now in exchange for Hanhai sending troops, he could only bite the bullet and sign it.
After signing an unequal troop dispatch agreement with Han Hai, Lu Quan, the prime minister of the rebel army, rushed to the holy place of the Holy See without stopping.
The Holy See is located in the northeast of the Far East, also bordering the vast sea, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
The Holy See has a powerful cathar army. They have been brainwashed by the Holy See, so almost all of them are fearless on the battlefield.
Although the strength of this armored army is not as large as that of Han Hai, the Wolf Cavalry, or even that of the Far East in its heyday.
But the horror of the Holy See is that their believers can be armed at any time, and their believers are widely distributed, so it makes all countries quite afraid.
As one of the prerequisites for Hanhai to send troops, the Far East must lobby the Holy See's cathars to also send troops.
The reason why Han Hai did this was because he was worried that after they dispatched troops, the Holy See would take advantage of it and attack them.
Lu Quan originally wanted to ask Han Hai and the Holy See to attack, so he agreed to this condition without hesitation.
Lu Quan was also personally received by a black-clothed archbishop, which was exactly the same as in Hanhai, and then the details of the unequal agreement were discussed.
Compared with Han Hai's request to lease land in two Far East provinces for 300 years, an important prerequisite for the Holy See is that the Far East allows them to build holy churches in their territory and allow them to develop believers.
The purpose of the Holy See is very simple, and that is to gradually complete the annexation of the Far East through this method and take a few years.
In the past, the Far East prohibited the Holy See from building holy churches and developing believers in its territory, but now in exchange for their sending troops, Land Quan had to agree.
