"This... Then please, Your Majesty, release our Lord Zheng He!"
Cheng Mu was negotiating conditions, so Yu Qian naturally had his own conditions.
Even Cheng Mu's request was not excessive in his opinion.
But since these are what the other party wants, then I have the capital to negotiate terms.
It makes sense for Zhu Di to send him Yu Qian here.
"Zheng He?"
Hearing Yu Qian's words, Cheng Mu suddenly felt ridiculous: "At this time, do you still want to negotiate terms with me?"
"You have to know that I am not asking for an alliance with you now."
"But you want to form an alliance with me! Understand?"
At this time, he was negotiating conditions with himself. He felt that Yu Qian must be crazy.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Zheng is my minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yu Qian remembered what Emperor Zhu Di told him before leaving: If possible, bring Zheng He back as well.
Therefore, he did not want to disappoint Zhu Di.
"Well. Now you are a member of my Apocalypse Empire."
Cheng Mu refused without thinking.
Just kidding! Zheng He is a special talent!
Although I already have a super powerful Tianlong battleship in my hand, doesn’t the ship need to be updated?
Zheng He can provide some help in the development and research of new ships.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to return the whole person.
"this......"
Seeing Cheng Mu's shameless answer, Yu Qian was stunned for an instant.
He was speechless.
What should I do if I say in front of him that I won’t let him go?
"Okay! Discuss the alliance matters with the Prime Minister of our country, and then report to me after the discussion is completed!"
After gaining so much, Cheng Mu felt it was enough.
Food must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step. To annex the Ming Empire must be done step by step.
"But...but..."
Yu Qian still wants to say something.
But then Zhuge Liang came up: "Mingshi, let's go down first!"
Since Cheng Mu left the alliance matters to him, he naturally knew what to do.
...
"Ha ha!"
After retiring from the court, Cheng Mu was in a good mood.
At the same time, he also gave Guo Jia a thumbs up, he was really good at predicting things.
It was said that Zhu Di might send an envoy to seek alliance, but it turned out that he did.
"It's just a pity that the Ming Empire did not cede territory."
Guo Jia felt a little regretful at this moment: "Once they cede territory, we will be able to encroach on the Ming Empire step by step."
Wherever there is one, there are two.
Originally, according to his plan, as long as the Ming Empire set a precedent for ceding territory, it would never stop in the future.
But now, his plan failed.
"We will definitely not cede territory."
Cheng Mu had known this result for a long time. He said: "If you want to occupy the Ming Dynasty's land, you can only conquer it yourself."
"Kill the emperor and all the loyal civil and military officials, then we can truly conquer the Ming Empire."
Bright and bright.
In terms of integrity, Ming Dynasty was still very strong.
"Oh? Is this country so upright?"
Hearing Cheng Mu's words, Guo Jia was immediately shocked. To occupy a country, killing the emperor is enough.
And this Ming Empire actually had to kill all the civil and military officials?
"Um!"
Cheng Mu nodded and said: "In terms of integrity, the Ming Empire is unique."
Historically, Emperor Zhengtong never begged for mercy when captured, Emperor Longwu died in battle, and Emperor Shaowu committed suicide after being captured and went on a hunger strike.
Emperor Chongzhen even died for his country.
Such integrity moved everyone. It was Cheng Mu who was the role model that the Apocalypse Empire must learn from.
"In such a country, it is indeed necessary to kill its emperor and destroy its ministers."
Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully.
Countries with integrity are the hardest to conquer. This is actually a helpless move.
Cheng Mu sighed: "If you want to get rid of it once and for all, this is the only way."
Chu Ying has already exempted his talent of Mingjun, but now he is not 100% sure whether Ming's integrity will offset his talent of Mingjun.
Everything is unknown!
Historically, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, its remaining resistance forces struggled for thirty or forty years.
This is unprecedented in history.
Therefore, Cheng Mu must take precautions and make preparations in advance.
"As it should be!"
Guo Jia agrees.
Since he is an emperor, he cannot be benevolent as a woman.
No matter which country the other party is, no matter how noble its integrity is, as long as it does not surrender, it is an enemy!
...
Soon after, the alliance book drafted by Zhuge Liang and Yu Qian was presented to Cheng Mu.
The content is actually very simple.
1. In order to reflect the friendship between brotherly countries, from the date when the alliance comes into effect, all the barbarian territories south of the Ming Empire will be under the Apocalypse Empire!
Second, in order to reflect the friendship between brotherly countries, the Apocalypse Empire will solve the maritime worries in the south for the Ming Empire!
3. From now on, the two countries will engage in friendly trade with each other.
Four,......
Although there are more than ten items listed in the book of covenant, there are still one or two that satisfy Cheng Mu the most.
To transfer all the land of the Sha tribe in the south of the Ming Empire to the Tianqi Kingdom would be almost the same as ceding territory.
It's just that the Ming Empire looked down upon the Sha tribe and considered them all a group of barbarians.
Naturally, ceding land becomes irrelevant.
How can it be considered as ceding land if the barbarian land is cut off?
As for Cheng Mu, once he owns this land of the Sand Clan, the supply of iron wood will increase several times.
Zheng Yisao's equipment plan for the Tianlong battleship in the Kyushu fleet has been completed ahead of schedule again!
And with Tie Mu Bu Worry, he can urge Zheng He, Yang Sihai and others to develop and build a real lucky ship!
The Fuchuan-type Tianlong battleship is several times larger than the current Tianlong battleship.
What Cheng Mu wanted to build in his mind was a real maritime aircraft carrier!
As for the second point, it was to solve the maritime worries in the south for the Ming Empire.
This seems to be his own effort.
Actually it is not.
What Cheng Mu values most is those few people.
The son of the plane, the great magician Liu Xiu.
He got up in the grass and was in desperate situations several times, but he still killed Wang Mang, the so-called time traveler.
The white-robed general Chen Qingzhi.
In history, seven thousand white-robed troops defeated thirty-two cities in forty-seven battles, making them invincible.
Wing King Shi Dakai.
Known as the most perfect being in the peasant uprising. Famous military strategists, politicians, revolutionaries, strategists, martial arts experts, poets, calligraphers...
Zeng Guofan led the Hunan army to fight against him. He failed to win even one of the first ten battles, forcing Zeng Guofan to jump into the river and commit suicide three times!
How could Cheng Mu not like such a talented person?
Of course, the most important thing is one person.
Xiao He!
In the Ming Empire, Liu Bowen had no doubts about his plans and constant schemes.
However, the presence of Xiao He dragged Liu Bowen to the south.
If Xiao He had not resisted Liu Bowen, Liu Xiu would have been destroyed long ago by Zhu Yuanzhang who gathered the power of the whole country.
It was precisely because Liu Bowen was held back by Xiao He that Huo Qubing had the opportunity to run thousands of miles to sneak attack Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's death is directly related to the current predicament of the Ming Empire and Xiao He.
In history, Xiao He single-handedly controlled Han Xin's life.
He recommended Han Xin and gave Han Xin the reputation of a soldier.
Later, he offered advice to Liu Bang to kill Han Xin.
Therefore, Han Xin's life can be said to be a success or a failure for Xiao He!
Therefore, as the first prime minister in the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He was one of Cheng Mu's most coveted targets.
Once Xiao He is found, Cheng Mu's new Kyushu plan will take another big step forward!
