of 771,000 (monthly pass)

Lopez sent merchant Almeida as an envoy to ask Li Yanzhi for peace. Li Yanzhi agreed verbally. As for the details, he ignored it and asked Jiang Yifan to talk to Almeida, but he went back.

Jiang Yifan looked impatient and said, "What are Lopez's plans?" It seemed that he disagreed with peace talks, but Li Yan gave the order and had to abide by it.

Almeida said: "Our governor hopes that the Ming Dynasty will withdraw its troops. In the future, our two families will reconcile as before. The two families will be in charge of the port of Palawan..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yifan angrily said, "What? The two families are in charge?"

Almeida said: "Yes, now Palawan is in our hands. As long as Marshal Li agrees, he can get half of the power of the port without spending a soldier."

Jiang Yifan laughed furiously: "Ha, half of the power, half of the power... You don't seem to understand yet. Our governor is not the soft guy who is afraid of using weapons! He claims to be unprecedentedly powerful in national strength, but an island was robbed by someone and dare not come back openly. As long as he returns half of it, he will brag there! The Ming Dynasty had hundreds of millions of people. For the sake of the country's territory, he would never give up half of the land! This is called: I would rather lose thousands of troops than lose inch of land!" He pointed to the door and said, "Get out! No need to talk."

Almeida shouted: "Master Jiang, Marshal Li agreed to the peace talks."

Jiang Yifan sneered, "Agree? You have no sincerity, the governor will agree to you, then it's a hell! If the governor heard those two words just now, they threw you into the sea and fed the sharks on the spot! Get out! Ask Lopez to wash his neck and wait in the port, and see my Ming Dynasty man wash Palawan bloodily!"

This Palawan belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Almeidayuan also knew that it was not easy to go back to this port from him. The reason why he proposed "common management" was to advance as a retreat and slowly negotiate terms with the other party. How could he expect the other party to be so tough? He had to say at the moment: "Honor Jiang calmed down, and Mr. Jiang calmed down. In fact, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to go back to Palawan, it was not impossible, it could be negotiated."

Jiang Yifan seemed to have no interest at all and did not touch the other way. Almeida's cards were not as good as him, so he had to say first: "If Marshal Li could produce 100 cabins of ceramics and 2,000 dans of raw silk, and would give us 500 dans of silk every year in the future, then there would be no need to fight this battle. We are willing to return the original jade of Palawan, the port."

At the end, he used an idiom, feeling his own body and was quite satisfied.

Jiang Yifan laughed and said, "It turns out that your country wants to talk about money, but if you talk about money, the account should not be settled like this."

Almeida asked: "How should we calculate?"

Jiang Yifan said: "How many Europeans are there in your port?"

"This..." Almeida thought this was our military secret, how could he tell you?

Without waiting for his answer, Jiang Yifan said, "No matter how many of you have, it's good. In short, ordinary soldiers, one person has ten kilograms of silver, one person has fifty kilograms of silver, one person has fifty kilograms of silver, big merchants like Almeida you and high-ranking officials like Lopez, only one hundred kilograms of gold. I'll take the lead in the governor-this peace talks will be done."

Almeida was a little confused when she heard this, thinking that our port, regardless of the group in Portugal, had more than 10,000 people, which would not be converted into more than 100,000 kilograms of silver? But—

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by saying that?"

"Don't you understand?" Jiang Yifan snorted coldly: "If you offer the ransom, then we will be very merciful and spare your life and let you go back to your hometown in Europe to enjoy your old age!" At the end of this sentence, there was also an idiom.

Almeida's face turned blue and red when she heard it. It took a long time to say, "Master Jiang, you are so insincere!"

Jiang Yifan sneered: "Sincerity? I have no sincerity! Palawan is about to break the city, why should I negotiate with you for no reason? Let me tell you, I am a civil servant, and it doesn't matter how many people died on the battlefield. As long as I finally defeated and recovered the country, I will make a contribution - even if the one who was taken back was a rotten Palawan, even if one million people died for this matter, I don't care."

Almeida was shocked: "Master Jiang, how could you say such...so inhumane words! Christ forgives you. How can you say such cruel things? Even if you are a civil servant, if the generals on the battlefield hear you, they are afraid that they..."

"They are happier when they fight!" Jiang Yifan said in the intercept: "Anyway, how many soldiers have died, the crime is on your head, but as long as you get a Folang machine's head, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver! If you get ten thousand, there will be a hundred thousand taels! So everyone in our army takes the lead and is not afraid of death, and is trying to rush to cut off your ghost heads!"

These few words made Almeida feel cold and she cried, "God! The Ming Dynasty is a country of rituals, why are your soldiers like devils!"

Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "When friends are here, we are naturally a country of etiquette. When jackals come, then just serve them with a knife! You know what kind of guys are you. From the Black Continent to India, from India to Southeast Asia, there are more than one million innocent people you have killed? Why do you have to pretend to be angels and devils here?" As he said that, he yawned and said, "Okay, let's do it. Go back and tell Lopez, wipe the guns and wait for the fight."

As he said that, he wanted to expel the guests again.

Almeida pushed away the two servants who came to invite him and took a step forward and said, "Master Jiang, let's stop going around in circles. Governor Lopez asked me to have a talk, which is indeed sincere. Marshal Li asked Master Jiang to discuss details. I believe he also thinks that it would be better to have a result that both parties are satisfied with, than to use a knife and a gun."

Jiang Yifan coughed twice and said, "Then you should come up with a result that we are satisfied with. Don't always fart in front of me. I felt disgusted by those words before!"

Almeida thought that we were at a disadvantage now, so she would rather strive to ensure the capital, so she threw out their bottom line: "Let's do this, we are willing to hand over Palawan, and the Ming Dynasty and Spain have made up their minds from now on. However, we hope to sign a friendly trade agreement with the Ming Dynasty after the war. In the future, goods from the east, including spices, silks, and ceramics, can only be operated by the Palawan-Mayi route. Mr. Jiang, this is a favorable thing to both sides. You should be satisfied, right?"

The European market is eager to obtain silk, ceramics and spices from the East. The Ming Dynasty's desire for American silver is not inferior to that of the other party. If the door to trade with Europe is completely closed, it will be a temporary blow to the increasingly developed social economy of Daming.

Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "You are ghost elves. In this way, your Spain will monopolize Chinese goods. This is much greater than your interests in the South China Sea before the war! But we only get a less important Palawan, which is a loss."

Almeida said: "But this will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Well," Jiang Yifan seemed a little moved: "But how about Sosa?"

Almeida said: "We will be responsible for monitoring them back to Europe and promise not to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty."

When Jiang Yifan heard this, he laughed at the sky: "Make trouble? Almeida, you are wrong! Okay, I will tell you my bottom line: This time we launched such a large army and so many ships heading south, Palawan is certainly determined to win, but it is still impossible to go back and explain to the court."

Almeida asked how to explain to the court. Jiang Yifan said: "It's very simple: we must take ten thousand Folang machine heads back so that we can get a deal with our emperor. This is the tradition of our Celestial Empire and it is uncontroversial."

Almeida was stunned when Jiang Yifan said, "Our emperor recognizes your race, and it is useless to replace it with indigenous people, so no matter what, at least ten thousand heads of the Flangji people must be obtained. As for whether these ten thousand heads are Portuguese or Spanish, we will not care." As for the fact that these ten thousand heads are from Portuguese or Spanish, we will not care." As for the fact that they waved their hands again, "Almeida, go back and tell Lopez that ten thousand heads are our conditions. As for the port of Palawan, there is no need to negotiate this. Our army will come back and get it, so he will not have to worry about it."

Although Almeida was shocked by the conditions proposed by Jiang Yifan, he did not intend to protect the interests of the Portuguese this time. From the beginning, he had planned to treat the Portuguese as cannon fodder. The army of the Ming Empire took the head to reward him. He seemed to have heard of such rules before, so he dared not doubt Jiang Yifan's statement. Thinking of this, he said: "Master Jiang, we can't guarantee anything about 10,000 heads, but the previous matter of signing a friendly agreement after the war..."

Jiang Yifan smiled and said, "Since it's a matter of post-war, let's wait until the war is over."

Almeida was very dissatisfied: "After all the time, do you still have to fight?"

Jiang Yifan snorted: "After talking, I ask you, you can represent Lopez, but do you can represent Sosa?"

Almeida stopped talking, Jiang Yifan said again: "Our military actions will not be affected by your words. What should we do, what will happen, and when will the general attack be launched, it will not change. But if I am you, then run away before the Ming Navy launches the general attack. When we destroy Sosa, we will discuss the post-war agreement. At that time, I guess the governor will be much more interested."

Almeida pondered for a long time, but in fact he understood that even if Spain forced herself, it would be difficult for him to stop the Ming army. If he was sure on the battlefield, he would not come to seek peace. He said, "Okay, but I hope to get two guarantees from Marshal Li."

“What guarantee?”

Almeida said: "First, please ask Marshal Li to ensure that our fleet can retreat safely after leaving Palawan. Second, we hope that Marshal Li will not attack Ma Yi again after he gets Palawan."

Jiang Yifan nodded and said, "We are not interested in that ghost place of Ma Yi, but if you want us to guarantee that we will not attack your fleet, the soldiers on the front line will be afraid that they will not agree, and that will limit the actions of our army. Now, who knows what kind of ghost ideas are you thinking? Maybe they are using some tricks."

Almeida said: "Please believe in the integrity of the Spanish."

Jiang Yifan was not polite: "We used to believe that the Spanish were honest, but Palawan was lost and Luzon was surrounded. So we don't want this to happen again."

Almeida was embarrassed and said, "Then it happens. On our way back to Mayi, please keep a certain distance from us. Both sides should not fire fires. What's the matter? This is a must, otherwise this peace talks would be a waste of time."

Jiang Yifan said: "But we give you this guarantee, what benefits can you give us?"

Almeida smiled and said, "I know that there are many troops left by the Ming army in the jungle of Palawan. If Marshal Li is willing to give us this guarantee, then we will peacefully transfer the control of Palawan to your land forces before retreating. How about it?"

Jiang Yifan tilted his head and smiled, "I've been talking for so long, this is the most reliable one. But you are willing to escape peacefully, and Sousa may not be willing to surrender."

Almeida smiled and said, "Palawan's city defense is in our Spanish. Sousa is just a guest army and cannot make a decision. Anyway, he does not obey our governor's command. Since that is the case, we have no obligation to be responsible for their safety."

This sentence actually clearly stated that they would abandon the Portugal alliance. Jiang Yifan blinked: "You all believe in Christ, are you? I heard that you believe in [31 Novel Network] Christ is both brothers. Will you be at ease with your conscience if you give up your brother like this? Are you not afraid of Christ's sin?"

Almeida heard Jiang Yifan mention "Christ" once, and then drew a cross on his chest and drew three times in a row. Then he said with a pious expression: "Sousa and the others have done many bad things. I think if something happens to them, it must be the Lord's guilt on them. These are the arrangements of the Lord. As the people of Christ, we are willing to accept the arrangements of the Lord. Amen." (To be continued.
