Chapter 556
After listening to Rui's translation, Kara Shah was shocked.

Regarding the Ottoman war, the Black Sheep Kingdom had already received information, but their news was relatively lagging behind. They only knew that Constantinople was besieged, but they did not expect that the entire Ottoman had completely fallen.

His first reaction was disbelief, how could it be possible?

The Osuman Empire and the Timurid Empire were the two superpowers in Central Asia, and the rest of the small countries and nomadic tribes almost all survived in the cracks between these two powers, including the Black Sheep Tribe and the White Sheep Tribe, and also so it is.

How could it be defeated by the Easterners, moreover, the whole territory fell.

Constantinople is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has natural geographical advantages. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city has sufficient food reserves. Even if it is besieged, it will not be a problem to persist for a year or so.

"I don't believe it, you must be lying. With the fortifications and garrisons of Constantinople, it is impossible to be captured in a short time!"

"Believe it or not, besides, it has only been a few years since the Ottomans took Constantinople, so how could it be impossible for it to be captured?"

Wang Yue didn't give him any good looks, mainly because he was too confident, five machine guns!

After listening to the translation, Kara Shah turned blue with dissatisfaction and said, "You Orientals have come to our territory. You are starting a war!"

"The whole of Ottoman has been included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the city of Tehran is no exception. You came to Tehran to plunder. It is clear that you initiated the war on your own initiative. We are just defending ourselves!"

"You... you said yes?"

"Yes, I said yes, do you have an opinion?"

"Of course I have an opinion!"

"You can raise your opinion, but we won't listen."

The two came and went, tit for tat, but it was hard for Rui, who kept wiping his sweat while translating.

According to the momentum of the negotiation, the two of them might have to fight on the spot before giving up.

Just hit, just don't hurt the innocent, I am the innocent...

Kara Shah couldn't resist the quarrel, so he had to say: "As the prince of the Black Sheep Kingdom, I came here to negotiate with great sincerity. I hope that you will put the overall situation first. I heard that you Easterners have a saying that peace is the best." You are expensive, and I hope you will take care of yourself."

These words are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the implication is very obvious. Wang Yue exploded as soon as he heard it, pointing to Karasah's nose and scolding: "Go to your mother, if you don't accept it, you go back now and gather soldiers and horses, and I will accompany you." You fight again, and we can talk after the fight!"

"You... how can you curse people, vulgar!"

"I roughed your mother's head, I have this temper, love to talk or not, leave!"

Seeing someone lift the table, Karasah had no choice but to say, "Okay then, tell me about your request!"

Wang Yue sneered and said: "Please make it clear that you are the ones who asked for the negotiation. We don't care. If you want to talk, show your sincerity. If you want to fight, please accompany me!"

"Let me tell you about our request, is that okay?"

"Say!"

The strong opening prepared by Karashah was shattered by others, so he had to make concessions again and again.

Who would allow himself to be defeated by others...

"We believe that the reason for the last battle was your side. Of course, we are also responsible, mainly because of communication problems. As long as the ownership of Tehran is clearly stated, these conflicts can be avoided."

"Having said so much, what exactly do you want to express?"

"It's very simple. The ownership of the city of Tehran has never been determined. Neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Timur Khanate has been able to completely control this place. At present, Tehran is actually under the control of our Black Sheep Kingdom. When you come, you will Isn't it too unreasonable to declare yourself the master?"

"I just said very clearly that Tehran belongs to Ottoman, and now Ottoman has become the territory of Ming Dynasty. There is no dispute about the ownership of Tehran City."

"No, that's just what you said..."

"It's my opinion, and it's also our bottom line. Do you want to talk about it or not!"

"How can you do this, we are here to negotiate, very sincere negotiations, you can't go too far!"

"I'm going too far, if you don't accept it, go back and call up the army. See you on the battlefield!"

"Do you think the Black Sheep Legion will be afraid of you Easterners?"

"Come on then!"

"You... can you calm down?"

"cannot!"

Karasah's face turned pale, as if he was about to explode, but he suppressed his anger and said, "The issue of ownership of Tehran can be discussed, can you let me finish?"

Wang Yue said coldly: "Say!"

"On the issue of the ownership of Tehran, we can make concessions and let you take over, but we must compensate the loss of our Black Sheep Kingdom, [-] gold coins, [-] catties of grain, and [-] horses. If you agree to this condition , about the conflict between our two parties, it will be written off!"

"Hahaha!"

Wang Yue burst into laughter suddenly, and then said: "I think you are dreaming!"

Kara Shakh suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I warn you, from the beginning of the negotiation, your attitude is too bad, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"You can bear it, no one will force you."

"I, I...you..."

Karasah was speechless with anger, he really wanted to slap the other person in the face and kick him twice, but this is his territory, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

"Okay then, let's make another concession, eight thousand gold coins, forty thousand catties of grain, and fifteen hundred horses, do you think it will work?"

"no!"

"One more step, five thousand gold coins, thirty thousand catties of grain, one thousand horses, this is already our bottom line!"

Karasah gritted his teeth, wanting to crush them.

Wang Yue lightly smiled and said, "A copper coin, a catty of grain, and not a single horse hair. Moreover, you took the initiative to attack our Ming territory, and we haven't asked you for any loss yet!"

"you……"

"How am I?"

Karasah took two deep breaths, and then said, "You have to be reasonable."

Wang Yue looked indifferent, and said: "I'm just trying to reason with you."

"You are bullying people!"

"Do you also know what bullying is? When the people in Tehran were unarmed and slaughtered by you, did you ever think that your behavior was bullying? Have you ever thought that you are bullying others?"

Karasah was suddenly choked and speechless, and the expression on his face was as if he had eaten a dead mouse.

Wang Yue continued: "Don't say that this place has already belonged to the territory of Ming Dynasty. Even if it is not, I, Ming Dynasty, have always taken it as my duty to benefit the common people in the world. If we encounter such injustice, we must take care of it!"

Karasah had no choice but to say: "The world is so big, can you manage it?"

"If you can't manage it, you have to manage it. Zhuangzi said, knowing that there is nothing you can do about it, and being at peace with it, is the ultimate virtue!"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he waited for Rui to translate, but there was no movement for a long time.

Karasah was also waiting, so the two looked at Rui at the same time.

Rui struggled for a long time before saying, "Sorry, I won't translate this sentence..."

Wang Yue had no choice but to say: "Forget it, I probably wouldn't understand what I told him. In a word, Tehran is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people here are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty. They will pay you back double!"

Rui conveyed this sentence carefully, and Kara Shah's old face became very distorted after hearing it.

"I see, you don't want to negotiate at all!"

"Do you want to negotiate?"

Wang Yue sneered and said, "You can talk about how much food and property you have looted in Tehran? How many innocent people have you robbed? Send people and things back, and maybe the emperor will forgive you for your crimes."

"impossible!"

Kara Shah was about to flip the table, but he finally held back and said, "Okay, let's make another step, the city of Tehran belongs to you, and you don't want any losses, but your territory ends here and you can't cross the border."

Wang Yue finally showed a smile on his face, and said: "You are smart, but if you want to live in harmony, you have to agree to our conditions."

Karasah shouted almost frantically: "We have retreated ten thousand steps, why do you still have any conditions?"

Wang Yue said coldly: "I don't want to talk, you can go, the gate is over there, no one is stopping you."

"it is good!"

Karasah nodded heavily: "Tell me, what else do you want!"

"First……"

"You mean there are many more?"

Wang Yue was dissatisfied and said, "Are you going to talk or not?"

"Talk, talk!"

Karasah sat back in his seat, and now he has given up.

I came here with a mission, and now the other party's request has far exceeded my expectations, which means that the negotiation has broken down, so I simply probe the other party's bottom line to see what they want.

Wang Yue said: "From Ottoman to the mainland of Daming, you have to pass through the countries of the Western Regions. This is the former Silk Road. You, the Black Sheep Kingdom, must guarantee that you will not plunder or harass the caravans on the Silk Road, no matter if they are from the Ming Dynasty. Caravans, or other countries, are not allowed to touch, of course, you can also form caravans by yourself, we welcome friends who are mutually beneficial!"

Karasah thought to himself, if we don't rob the caravan, what will we eat?
At this point, you might as well agree first, and wait until the other party relaxes their vigilance and send out a caravan to trade, it won't be too late to make a move.

When the time comes, just don't admit it. As long as the goods are robbed and all the caravan personnel are killed, no matter who asks, we will always say one word, I don't know!

"Okay, we agree!"

Looking at the other party's expression, Wang Yue already guessed in his heart that it was almost inseparable.

These people looked like robbers, who would believe them if they said they were not robbers?

"The second condition is that you must release the captured Tehran citizens. As a concession, you will not be held accountable for the property you have stolen. However, the civilians must be released, and their families are still waiting to be reunited!"

Karasah rolled his eyes and said, "I can't decide on this condition. I need to go back and report to the king, hold a meeting of leaders, and then make a decision."

"Okay, you can go now, when the result of the discussion is reached, let's talk about it!"

"You mean...do you have other conditions?"

"Of course, that's the second point."

"You...well, you can finish it all at once. If I can't make the decision on the spot, I will go back and report together."

Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "The third condition, since the two of us are willing to reconcile, it means that we have reached a military alliance and advance and retreat together. If there is a conflict between Ming and other forces, the Black Sheep Kingdom must send troops to assist, otherwise, the Black Sheep Kingdom If something goes wrong, Daming will not sit idly by."

Kara Shah pondered for a while, this condition is very favorable for the black sheep.

Compared to Daming, the Black Sheep is a small tribe, maybe not as big as a province.

However, if you agree to this one, you must agree to the previous ones. You cannot rob the caravan and return the kidnapped Teheran people. This... seems not a good deal.

In the long run, forming an alliance with Daming would certainly be profitable, but the problem was that it was too far away.

Who knows what happened to Daming, did he really occupy Ottoman, or was he beaten out by Ottoman?

If they really have the absolute strength to crush, why do they want to win over a tribe like the Black Sheep?
The more Kara Shah thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The other party seemed to be drawing a big cake for himself.

"This one, I also need to go back and discuss."

"There is one last thing. My Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, and you black sheep are just a small piece of land. I don't care what your leaders call you. From now on, you can only accept the canonization of Daming."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that whether you are called the king or the chief, they are all your internal titles. If you go to a public place, you must use the title conferred by my Emperor Ming."

"You mean, our own leader still needs to use the title you conferred."

"Exactly!"

"This is not acceptable, I cannot agree!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

"No...why?"

Wang Yue said loudly: "Just because my Ming Dynasty is the country in the center of the world, I am qualified to divide the land in the world!"

Karasah held back for a long time, and said, "I came here with a lot of sincerity, you... can't see the sincerity at all!"

"The conditions I gave you are also very sincere!"

"We have repeatedly backed down, can't you take a step back?"

"cannot!"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "What I told you is the bottom line, there is no way to retreat."

"What if we don't accept it?"

"Then see you on the battlefield!"

Karasah took a deep breath and said, "You guys are really unreasonable!"

Wang Yue said: "This is a negotiation. Naturally, both parties have their own demands. It doesn't matter if you disagree, no one will force you."

Karasah said with a gloomy face, "You have to know that you are outsiders after all, and it's not that easy to take root here!"

"Yeah, I think it's pretty easy."

"You are expanding your territory so unscrupulously, even if we let you go, there are Timur Khanates and Aries tribes around, will they turn a blind eye to your actions?"

"Everyone always says the same thing. If you want to be friends, I welcome you very much. If you want to fight, just let your horse come here!"
