Afterwards, Jon Clinton did not expect it.
Even though Tianji City has assembled the Fowler family, the Uller family of the prison gate, and the Kogel family of Sandstone City. The total strength of the Dorn rebellion nobles is no weaker than the royal army, or even a little bit more. But the tortoise huddled in the sky and under the city, and didn't have the slightest intention of sending troops to attack, expelling the royal army from Dorn.
Instead, a messenger was sent to negotiate with Jon Clinton.
"Dorn is ancient and glorious!"
"As early as the dragon danced in Valyria, the kingdom of Dorne existed!"
"The conquerors all smashed their heads and broke down under the walls of Donne!"
"We are not so easily defeated!"
After the envoy of Donne came to the camp, he arrogantly made a series of requests to the hand of the king of the Iron Throne.
The first is to require the Bay Area and the royal army to make reasonable compensation for the losses caused by the invasion of Dorn, and the total price should not exceed one hundred thousand golden dragons.
And the second one is to clarify the connection between Count Franklin Fowler and the tragedy of the Zenford family.
The messenger claimed that Lord Franklin did not go to Ashwood Beach to retaliate on the same day, but that the subordinates whom Sir Irwin had had secretly concealed him from going to avenge him and killed the family of Count Cenford.
Franklin Fowler was also furious after hearing this. He was willing to apologize for this, and hanged all the more than 30 participants in total, and then gave the body to Lord Zenford as an explanation.
But he himself was unwilling to go to King's Landing to confess his guilt, and wanted to confess his confession to reach a private settlement with the nobles in the Bay Area. This was also the most commonly used solution for conflicts between the nobles in the Seven Kingdoms era.
If a reconciliation can be reached in private, the Iron Throne will turn one eye and close the other, unwilling to be nosy, after all, it is better to do more than to do less.
Because of conflicts between nobles, armed fights were very common, and the Iron Throne couldn't manage it in the past.
And the third is the collective appeal of the many Dorn nobles who came to the sky and the city to relieve the siege. They demanded that all the Dornites who fled to the outside should be repatriated, captured and returned to their hometown for trial.
After all, the gate of the Prince's Pass has now been opened, and many people in the territory have fled to the river to live a good life.
The weather in Dorn is very hot and the climate is harsh, while the climate of the river bay is suitable, the land is fertile, and the power of the nobility is greatly reduced.
After the people have paid their taxes, there is still a lot of food left, which can be sold to merchants to earn more silver deer and improve the lives of their families.
This is the life that people yearn for, and the bay area is therefore the most populous area in Westeros, even several times more than the northern border that occupies half of Westeros.
Although the rest of the seven countries are not rich in rivers and land, because the overall changes are not too different, the population flow is not obvious.
Therefore, the whole Westeros is still living a hard life for the people of Dorne. It is not difficult to understand that people who are willing to flee to the river bend with their families should live a good life.
"If you want blood, the Seven Kingdoms will inevitably flow into a river."
"But why bother?"
The messenger of Donne was arrogant and presented three unacceptable conditions. In fact, the messenger wearing the coat of arms of the Kogel family in Sandstone is not a fool. He is the second of Earl Quentin Kogel. Yaron Kogel.
He naturally knew that these conditions were definitely not acceptable to Jon Clinton, but didn't the negotiations since ancient times have been like this, asking prices and paying back the money.
However, Aaron Kogel was still waiting for Jon Clinton, the king's hand of the Iron Throne, to "sit back the money", but he did not expect that instead of paying back the money, he waited for the other's butcher knife.
"The Iron Throne will never compromise with the traitor!"
"Come on!"
"Push him out to behead!"
"The first level hangs in front of the camp for the barbarians on the mountain to have a look!"
Jon Clinton's face was cold. He didn't refute the conditions put forward by the messenger of Dorne. Instead, he immediately waved his hand to the guards on the left and right, ordering them to push out the second son of Sandstone and chop off his head. Hang in front of the camp to show the public.
"what?"
And Dorn's messenger Aaron Kogel was also taken aback. He didn't expect the opponent to play cards according to common sense.
Doesn't this conform to the rules of negotiation?
How can someone negotiate without bargaining, but just want to kill someone?
But he still didn't panic too much, stubbornly thinking that the other party was just frightening himself. After all, it was a default rule that the two armies should not be cut.
"I was not scared, Master Jon Clinton."
"You better let me go quickly, otherwise my father"
However, when the guards of the Prime Minister's Tower brought by Jon Clinton from King's Landing on both sides escorted Aaron Kogel to the outside of the tent, the Dorn envoy seemed to realize that the other party was not joking, let alone scaring him. Then hurriedly yelled in horror.
"Master Jon Clinton?!"
"I am Dorn's messenger, and the two armies will not be cut in battle!"
But Jon Clinton was still cold and didn't mean to call the guards back, and the execution officer of the other legion was already wearing a smock to prevent blood from splashing.
Boom
A tree stump was placed on the open ground in the camp, and the sticky board for decapitation was placed on the tree stump. Then, he took a flagon from the soldier on the side and took a swig.
puff
Then the execution officer sprayed alcohol on the surface of the sword with his mouth, and the clear drink slowly flowed down the cold blade.
And he coldly watched the Don's messenger who was pushed over, pressed his shoulders on the glued board, and then slid the big sword on the ground to make the last prayer before beheading.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister!"
"Master Jon Clinton!"
However, at this moment, the second son of Shashicheng was terrified. He looked at the execution officer with a ferocious face and the big sword in his hand with horror.
Then he yelled incoherently, shaking out all the secret explanations of his father, Count Ule and others.
"No compensation!"
"No compensation!"
"You can talk about the first and second!"
In fact, the Dorn nobles care about only the third article, because this is about their interests ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the first two are added purely for negotiation.
What does the life and death of Lord Fowler have to do with them? Although there is an old friend in front of Tianjicheng, in fact everyone has an abacus in his heart.
If Jon Clinton insists on taking Franklin Fowler to the King's Landing trial to give an explanation to His Majesty, as long as he agrees to Article 3, these Dorn nobles don't mind helping them arrest people personally.
As for the issue of compensation, it is even more nonsense. These are conditions for Jon Clinton to "bargain" the price. They have never thought about compensation. They only care about the third condition.
However, Aaron Kogel yelled and shook out all the details his father had explained, but still did not change Jon Clinton's mind.
The nobles in the bay area in the tent were frightened, shut their mouths and did not dare to make any noise.
Who would have thought that the Prime Minister who looked like a good man would kill when he said that he would kill.
The execution officer on the other side had already raised the sword high, and then the sword fell in his hand, and the head of the envoy of Donne fell to the ground.
