Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Two hundred and eighty-five sea negotiations

In the waters of Xiamen, two wooden two-masted boats stopped quietly in the wind and rain, and the rain was like a thread, blinding their eyes. At this time, the wind and waves were not strong, and the boat was gently undulating with the waves in the sea. The fine rain wet the deck, wet as oil.

Several navy generals wearing quilts, standing quietly on the bow, the rain rustled on the quilts, and a drop of raindrops condensed and rolled down, but they still stood still and seemed to be watching what.

Two sloops approached in the rain and fog. A navy commander waved his hand. His boat went out and the other side also came up, three hundred feet, two hundred feet, one hundred feet... The two boats * came together, and when the sides of the boats collided, the hulls of each other shook slightly, and then the sailors on both sides quickly threw their hooks and grabbed the other boat.

The two boats, which were combined and divided, were put together again, and the two pedals were handed to each other from the boats of both sides at the same time. The soldiers took the ship's plank and fastened it to the ship's side quickly, while looking at each other curiously and carefully. Different hair, different looks, but you can feel the identity of every soldier on the other side.

It was the first time that they looked at their opponents so close and peacefully. Jia Qingyou rushed over. The shipping merchant inadvertently acted as a witness to a major historical event, even though he was so reluctant.

The generals of the Ming army have boarded the ship, and out of safety considerations, the Portuguese side conducted the first negotiation on the Portuguese ship. They took off their clothes, revealing a clear and neat armor, with a narrow front under their ribs, and boarded the Portuguese ship casually. Their calm expressions and calm movements dispelled the tension of the Portuguese soldiers. The hands of the musketeers standing under the tarp on both sides of the ship loosened their hands and their muzzles quietly hung down.

"This is Great Ming Fujian Navy Admiral General Han Wu, Fujian Chief Commissioner Yamen to participate in the meeting, Mr. Zheng Junran, Fujian Haidao Envoy Tang Xingyun, and Zhejiang Marine Division Qianhu Peng Xiaochao."

The Portuguese leaders on the opposite side responded one by one with the Chinese etiquette they just learned. Jia Qingyou's nervousness gradually calmed down and continued: "My elders, this is General Sander, Colonel of the Royal Navy of Franco. Priest Miguel, this is the representative of Captain Pedro who is doing business in Luzon, and his assistant Mr. Valente, uh...and the handsome samurai of Japan’s pork feet."

Several Ming army generals focused on the "handsome" face of the pig's claws with blade-like gazes. The pig's claws habitually grabbed the wet samurai's bun and tried to put on an expression of carelessness. Han Wu smiled contemptuously, turned his head and leaned back and smiled at Sander: "The characters of the ambassador and his party are really diverse. The eight of us meet on this sea, and it feels like'eight immortals cross the sea'."

Several Portuguese people don’t know what the Eight Immortals mean, but Pig’s Claw is handsome. He can’t help but grin. It’s just that everyone didn’t look at him. Pig’s Claw laughed twice, consciously boring. , Then he held back in a shameless manner.

Jia Qingyou is fluent in Portuguese, and communication is not a problem. He stammered a few words with Sander in Portuguese, and then said to Han Wu: "General Sander invites you to enter the cabin with you adults."

Sander also made an inviting gesture. Han Wu nodded and walked first to the cabin. Peng Xiaozhuo shook his sturdy body. When passing by the handsome pig claw, the armour elbow pads suddenly shook. , Rubbing between the chest and abdomen of the handsome pig claw, and glanced at him provocatively.

The handsome pig claw roared with pain, and he took two steps backwards. He was furious. He twisted his face and grabbed the long hilt of the samurai sword. Pull out and slash.

Priest Miguel held down the back of his hand and shook his head slightly. At this time, Peng Xiaochao and others had stepped into the cabin, and the pig claws handsomely pushed the knife into the sheath and gritted their teeth and followed behind the three Westerners. Entering the cabin, he was short and sturdy. Standing behind, he could only see the back of the person in front, so he would no longer clashed with Peng Xiaochao.

After a few conversations between the two sides, Sander said straight to the door: "We come from the distant Kingdom of Portugal and have no intention of offending the Great Ming Dynasty Court. Manchuga is a small kingdom of barbarians. They have been annexed by us, but as A dependency of the Kingdom of Portugal, we respect the supremacy of Great Ming in the East, and are willing to negotiate with Great Ming on this matter."

Han Wu shook his head and smiled: "General Sander, I really want to know what your country is going to negotiate with us? Manchuga is a vassal of Great Ming. It claims to pay tribute and accept the protection of the Great Ming army. Now you have invaded Manchuria. Tsagata, His Excellency King Sultuan Mamo, Sultan of Tsagatas, has asked me, His Majesty the Emperor Great Ming, to send troops to aid the restoration of the country. We should safeguard the interests of our own vassal, right?"

Reverend Miguel smiled and said: "Your Excellency, our king very much hopes to establish a good cooperative relationship with the great empire of the East. Our navy is the most powerful force in the West. Due to the scorn of the thorns, we Merged them and replaced their dominance. Now, as the master of Manchuka..."

The Chief Envoy Zheng Junran said immediately: "No, you are not the masters of Man Cijia without the recognition of the Great Ming Dynasty Emperor, and you have no right to speak on Man Cijia's behalf."

Sander shrugged displeasedly and sneered: "It's a pity, your Excellency, that it's actually what we decide to do now."

Peng Xiaochao immediately followed him by shrugging his shoulders, **** for tat: "So, here we are!"

When Valente saw the strong smell of gunpowder, he hurriedly said to the peacemaker: "Sirs, please be quiet, please be quiet, please let me say a word!"

He yelled once and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and hurriedly pulled Jia Qingyou over and asked him to repeat it twice in Chinese, so that the two sides were temporarily quiet.

The rain outside seemed to be heavier, and the tarp on the top of the cabin made a rustle of blows. Valente looked at the white rain and fog outside the cabin, and muttered: "This is not a good weather for negotiations, but... It’s also not good weather for combat."

He tightened his cloak and smiled and said: "General Han and sirs, I have been in the east for a while, and I also know that even though his Majesty Great Ming has a vast territory, and...more than our entire country population Army, but the broad-minded King Great Ming has no intention of using his powerful forces to interfere in the affairs of small countries around him. As long as no one offends the dignity of Great Ming, he is a kind giant."

He pointed to Sand and Miguel, and smiled: "And we, are some people who didn't want to offend Great Ming. Regarding the issue of Man Cijia being a Great Ming vassal, we understand this: we I want to occupy it and live here, but I just want to do business with the Easterners. After the merger of Mansuka, we are also obliged to replace Mansuka, and fulfill the obligation of vassal to Emperor Great Ming, that is to say: the government of General Sander, Like the Kingdom of Manchuka, it will pay tribute to Great Ming. If General Yang Ling agrees, we can immediately send a mission to the capital of Great Ming to pay tribute."

Priest Miguel nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, for Great Ming, there is no change. Although Manchujia has changed the owner, he is still a vassal of Great Ming and is willing to perform his vassal on Great Ming. I think His Majesty the Emperor Great Ming will be satisfied with this."

Come on,

Han Wu, Zheng Junran and others looked at each other and were a little surprised. Before they set off, they also estimated the conditions that the Franco Robot might propose. They wanted to come only as a deterrent by force. At the same time, they gave some sweetness to ensure that they would not violate the Great Ming territory. Don't obstruct the Nanyang countries to borrow the way to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty.

But even in the estimate of Yang Ling, I never thought that Westerners would promise to claim tribute. After all, the Franciscan machine at this time is the maritime hegemon, a group of adventurers and speculators who have the upper hand. They will not Because a few ships were destroyed, they surrendered in weakness.

This incident was beyond their expectation, and one regime overturned another regime and expressed obedience to Great Ming. As the chief ambassador, Zheng Junran felt satisfied. Not only does it need to use swords and soldiers, but it can also guarantee the status of Great Ming's central government, so there is no need to manage the internal changes of the small man.

Latest

Actually, after Japan and Annan changed their internal regimes, the new ruling party claimed vassal to Great Ming. Generally speaking, the emperor Great Ming would also accept it. This is a precedent, so he seemed relieved when he heard it. Nodded.

Sand was also a little proud when he saw this. The Orientals care about these false names, so what about holding him in the position of god? As long as the actual interests and power are in their own hands. What's more, when we have a firm foothold here, our forces have gradually become stronger, and our navy can continuously come to the east, we can tear up this paper deed at any time.

Han Wu and Peng Xiaochao, Zheng Junran, and Haidao made Tang Xingyun whisper, Zheng Junran said: "General Han, in my opinion, this condition is questionable. Do you think you can reply to the Governor and ask the Lord to make a decision? "

Han Wu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tang Xingyun and Peng Xiaochao, and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Tang Xingyun twisted his beard, looked at the four people opposite, and then whispered: "This...this...we all know that the pirates of Francis are very powerful, and the Franciscans full of thorns are not The pirates are the official army of the Franco-Germany country. Their combat power must be stronger. I think if this matter can be resolved peacefully, there will be nothing wrong. The ruler there is no matter if it is called the Sultan of Manchukya or Franco-Ji. King, as long as they are all Great Ming subjects, what is the difference?"

Han Wu frowned, but because Zheng Junran and Tang Xingyun were not under him, it was difficult for him to refute face to face. He knows the real intention of Yang Ling, and Yang Ling also doesn't care about who the full thorns belong to in form, but the influence on Great Ming once this maritime traffic artery is controlled by others.

Obviously, the Folang Jiren are ambitious. If they formally acknowledge their existence, the Great Ming navy can only turn around in the inland sea, and the whole outside will become the site of the Folang Ji navy.

Peng Xiaochao whispered: "I said everyone, look, which one of these ghosts and ghosts seems to be a good thing? Can they believe what they say? The site, the site, I think my dad was the dominant Putuo. When you are in the mountains, whoever wants to descend, you have to lead people, lead the boat to cast* over. Just behead chickens, drink blood and wine, and raise the banner of my Peng family. I am a member of the Peng family? Bah, when I'm an idiot?"

Han Wu glared at him, and said cautiously: "Speaking of black words, you are now a general of the court! Don't say it, this officer has his own idea."

He thought for a while and smiled at Sand and the others: "Very well, I also want to believe in the sincerity of you, and I don't want to meet you in battle, but the matter is big and the officer can't be the master. The Governor-General is now waiting on Gulangyu Island. Could you please report back to General Azerg and His Excellency Bishop La Mario, and ask them to come forward and discuss the details with us?"

Sander, Miguel and others whispered a few words, Miguel hesitated: "It’s not that we can’t believe in your Majesty, but General Ezeg is the commander of the Garrison Manchuria, and Bishop La Mario is His Majesty the King. Special envoys, how do you... ensure their safety?"

Han Wu said frankly: "The four of us can stay on the ship of your ambassador as hostages. There is an old saying in our place that the two countries are fighting against each other, not to be executed, not to mention that we have never met each other."

"However," he glanced at the handsome pig claw, and said indifferently: "their people don't want to be boring, we know they are serving you, but they are not qualified to negotiate!"

Five nautical miles behind the two wooden sailboats, a large number of warships gathered in each case just in case. Sand and others immediately sent another ship to the back to ask Commander Izerg and Archbishop La Mario~IndoMTL.com~ Although Izerg had made many negotiations with the terrifying chieftain, he took the other hostage. However, he believed that the Ming Army would not do this, not to mention that the Ming Army left four senior officials as hostages, so he readily agreed.

Han Wu confessed to the two warships on its side, and then when the Franco ship carrying Ezeger and others came to the center line, they took the Portuguese warship to the Franco-robot fleet. The military sailing ship escorted Ezege and others towards the Ming fleet.

Gulangyu Island is located in the southwest of Xiamen Island. It was called Yuanshazhou in the Yuan Dynasty and was renamed Gulangyu in the current dynasty. The oval-shaped island is not big, but the hills on the island are undulating and the scenery is pleasant. Longtou Mountain, the highest peak, faces off across Xiamen’s Hutou Mountain.

The rain has stopped, the air is fresh and humid, and all kinds of seabirds have appeared over the beach, flying and singing for joy. Yang Ling stands on the beach on the southwest corner of the island, and the sea breeze blows his cloak, flying like a flag. Not far from him, there are two overlapping rocks, which have been eroded by the sea for many years, forming a vertical hole in the middle. Whenever the tide is high, the waves hit the rocks and make the sound of drums. They are called "drum waves" by fishermen. "Shi", Gulangyu's name was changed from Yuanshazhou for this reason.

The sky after the rain had a brilliant pink cloud, like a colorful bridge over the blue water and blue sky. At this time, several warships gradually moved over from the end of the rainbow that was gradually fading on the sea.
