The Manchus were shocked after hearing the offer.
This price is much more expensive than mutton.
Along the way, they also had a meal at a rest area on the highway.
The price is only one tenth of the quoted price.
How could the prices in Dayuan Capital be so outrageously high?
"Are you taking advantage of us?" The barbarian's face immediately turned gloomy and extremely unfriendly.
"If you think it's expensive, just eat the mutton. I won't charge you for the mutton."
After saying that, he turned and walked away, muttering, "Just now he was arrogantly saying he was rich. I thought he was so generous, but in the end he can't even afford to eat. What's the point of pretending to be rich?"
The barbarian delegation was humiliated and could no longer sit still.
He took out a few gold bars and slammed them on the table: "Who said I can't afford to eat? Bring out all the best wine and food you have here!"
Looking at the glittering gold ingots, the officials of the post station couldn't stop smiling.
Ye told them that they could also get a share of the extortion money.
Such a large sum of money was more than his annual salary.
His attitude immediately became much better. He grabbed the gold ingot and said with a smile on his face: "No problem, good wine and food will be brought to you right away."
Someone was asked to remove all the mutton, and soon dishes were served one by one.
The dishes served are indeed delicious, and just the smell makes people very hungry.
But the plate was very small, and the amount of food was less than a quarter of the usual amount.
Especially for the big and strong barbarians, they can finish a whole dish in one bite.
I was very dissatisfied with this: "Why are the portions so small? Who can eat this little food?"
The post station official's face was filled with disdain: "I call you barbarians and you still don't accept it.
We are a country of etiquette, and we are very particular about eating.
The higher the quality of the place, the smaller the portion of the dishes.
Eating is not just about filling your stomach, but also about tasting the delicious food.
If you split too much into one portion, you’ll be full quickly and how can you enjoy other dishes?
"Isn't the food I gave you for two ingots of gold too little?"
The barbarians were furious.
"Why rush? There's still a lot to come. Just enjoy it slowly."
Then, dishes were brought in one after another, but the portions were still very small.
More than ten dishes were served on each table, and they were told that they had spent all their money.
Although the dishes tasted very good, each person only took a few bites and they were gone immediately. They were not even enough to fill their stomachs.
After eating for so long, I ended up feeling even hungrier.
The wine that was brought over smelled delicious and tasted delicious.
The same amount is too small.
It was just a small porcelain bottle, and the wine glass was as small as a fingernail.
At most, it's just a taste.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and exploded completely.
"How can it be that our dignified delegation is being toyed with like this, not even being allowed to eat enough?
I must seek justice today!"
The barbarian had a very bad temper to begin with, and he was very angry because he spent money but couldn't get enough food.
He immediately overturned the table and then kicked the stool to pieces.
They planned to make a big scene to see how the Dayuan officials would react.
They knew that the officials at the post station were making things difficult for them and making fun of them everywhere.
I just don't know whether he received instructions from the officials above.
That's why we made a big deal of it and waited for officials from Dayuan to deal with it.
The officials at the post station were not panicked at all. They just stood by and watched them smash things.
Have your subordinates take notes with pen and paper.
"A huanghuali wood table costs two thousand taels, and a chair costs seven hundred and fifty taels.
The wine glasses are all from the official kiln, and each costs four hundred taels..."
Although it was a pleasure to smash the things, the barbarian leader felt something was wrong the more he listened.
Why didn’t they record the prices of the smashed items?
Do we have to ask them to pay compensation?
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by this? It's thousands and hundreds of taels. Are you planning to ask for more money?"
The posthouse official replied solemnly, "This is a pawn shop. Items damaged intentionally must be compensated."
"Hahaha, you guys are really brave. I'm going to destroy this place, so what if I don't compensate you?"
Many barbarians were so angry that they laughed on the spot.
Anyway, the relationship has been completely torn apart, and they have returned to their extremely arrogant state.
They didn't believe that the Dayuan court would do anything to his life.
Even when two countries were at war, they did not kill the envoys.
Not to mention that they were an envoy sent here.
If we really kill their people, the barbarian cavalry will definitely move south immediately.
The Dayuan Dynasty must weigh the consequences.
But the officials at the post station were calm and didn't look anxious at all.
He replied calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to pay compensation. Your horses and carriages have been confiscated anyway. You can use them to pay the debt.
But when the peace talks are over and you return, you will have no choice but to walk."
"I think you're courting death. You dare to detain our horses? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."
The barbarians could no longer bear it. Their war horses were their lives, so how could they let others take them away?
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to grab the official.
The guards at the door didn't care when they smashed things.
When I saw them beating someone up, I immediately rushed in.
He drew out his long sword and slashed at the barbarian who was attacking him.
Most of these barbarians are elite cavalry with extremely high martial arts skills.
They ate without weapons.
Seeing the guards' fierce attack, he knew he couldn't resist and quickly retreated.
He barely dodged the chopping knife.
At the same time, I was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like I had survived a disaster.
The guards showed no mercy in their attack. If they had not dodged, they would have been killed by the sword.
After repelling the enemy, the guards did not continue to pursue, but shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to commit murder in the post station will be executed immediately!
This is my last warning. If you dare to commit violence again, I will show no mercy."
The barbarian envoys then realized that the guards really dared to kill people.
Their situation is extremely dire.
The Dayuan Dynasty did not care whether to negotiate peace or not.
They have never been so cowardly.
I was very angry, but I couldn't vent it.
There have been constant wars over the years, and peace talks have occurred more than once or twice.
The Dayuan Dynasty always hopes for a ceasefire, and will try its best to be tolerant no matter how arrogant the barbarian delegation is.
And as long as there is no war, they will agree to many excessive demands.
This time is completely different from the past.
I don't take them seriously at all.
What the hell is going on?
Could it be that the Dayuan Dynasty wants to continue the war?
The officials of the barbarian delegation had gloomy expressions and did not dare to continue to be arrogant.
If the failure of the peace talks is to their disadvantage, they must know that their task is to buy time.
It is possible to replenish lost weapons from a large source and expand the army.
We cannot start a war immediately under any circumstances.
"This is truly bizarre! I was captured by Dayuan's people. I really can't accept this!"
The officials of the delegation were trembling with anger, clenching their fists and forcing themselves to swallow their anger.
