Apart from anything else, if he had Kun Thief's guns, he would be at least 30% more confident in dealing with the Qing army in the future!
God bless the Ming Dynasty!
For a moment, Mr. Liu had forgotten the pain of the entire Biao camp being destroyed.
"Here comes someone! Prepare the carriage and enter the palace!"
As Governor Liu entered the palace impatiently and informed His Majesty Emperor Zhaowu of the matter, Emperor Zhaowu didn't even have the heart to have lunch and immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter in the imperial study.
When it comes to this matter, most ministers are still optimistic about it.
After all, at this time, any minister with a little bit of brains can see that in the face of the continuous invasion of the Qing army, it is difficult for Nanming to maintain. What's more, Nanming is now divided into two regimes and two emperors, attacking each other.
The continuous cutting is even more of a hindrance.
But if we can get the help of Kun thief's guns and artillery, the situation may be reversed.
Let’s not talk about the Qing army. If the Yongli puppet emperor can be captured first, then the Zhaowu regime can successfully capture Guangxi and other places. This is a quarter of the vast country of the Ming Dynasty.
Once you feel stable internally, you will feel much more relaxed externally.
But every time a critical moment comes, there will always be some officials who pretend to be strong-willed and will jump out to express objections in order to seek advancement.
The censor of the Guangdong Road said that it was treason for the thieves to dare to found a country and claim honor.
This statement was considered correct in Nanming, but it made all the ministers blush, and even Emperor Zhaowu wondered if he was ridiculing himself.
Fortunately, Governor Liu was an official who worked hard, and he thought that he had caused this incident. If he was overturned by the supervisory censor, he would probably end up in a difficult situation, so he immediately stood up and argued with reason, and finally
Relying on his familiarity with the current situation, he was speechless by the supervisor.
At this time, Emperor Zhaowu was also worried that things might change, so he simply agreed with what Governor Liu had told him.
Mr. Liu, who had obtained the emperor's approval, did not send his master Zhang Sanxu to go alone this time. Instead, he went out in person, with Zhang Sanxu as his assistant. He dressed like an ordinary merchant, took Zhang Sanxu with him, sat in the small boat, and headed towards the Breaking Waves.
And go.
This time, the governor personally took part in the negotiations, and many details naturally became much simpler.
After several hours of bickering between the two sides, the Xinghai Kingdom and the Nanming Zhaowu regime finally reached an agreement.
The most important items in the agreement were the mutual recognition between the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Xinghai Kingdom. At the same time, the Zhaowu regime paid an indemnity of 5,000 taels of silver and temporarily entrusted the remaining areas of the South China Sea Island to the Xinghai Kingdom. In addition, the Zhaowu regime and the Xinghai Kingdom sent envoys to each other.
In order to facilitate normal exchanges between the two countries, Xinghai State needs to sell firearms and artillery to the Zhaowu regime and provide corresponding loans and so on.
Of course, under this clause, it seems that Xinghai Kingdom suffered a bit, and at the same time, the Nanming Zhaowu regime was stripped of its face, but in fact, both parties got what they wanted.
The Xinghai Kingdom has been recognized by the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At least for a short period of time, it does not have to worry about foreign invasion, and it has also put a legal veil on the Xinghai Kingdom's annexation of the South China Sea Islands.
The Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty had access to channels for importing firearms and artillery, and was able to use loans from the Xinghai Kingdom to purchase them in the early stages, which undoubtedly greatly eased the financial deficit of the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
The Breaking Waves then conveyed the news back to the Xinghai Kingdom, and the Xinghai Kingdom's Senate immediately held a series of meetings to discuss the agreement signed by the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Two days later, the Breaker slowly docked at the pier.
"play music!"
As the commander-in-chief was welcomed to the scene, Education Affairs Committee member Huang Xiaoli gave an order, and the temporarily prepared military band immediately played the erhu, played the suona, and played various pianos and flutes in unison. Instead, they played a song by Qin Feng Wuyi
It's quite majestic.
No way, we originally planned to play the national anthem to welcome foreign envoys, but so far, no one has decided on the candidates for the national anthem, so we can only take out the military anthem first.
Looking at the neat groups of infantry on the pier and the dark forts in the distance, Master Zhang Sanxu, who was temporarily awarded the post of Ambassador of the Ministry of Rites to the Xinghai Kingdom, could not help but exclaimed: "Your army is so powerful!"
Wang Haitao on the side couldn't help but smile.
This has been said all the way, Zhang Sanxu has said it many times.
It was probably just flattering at first, for fear of offending the Xinghai people, but later it became a habit.
But having said that, Emperor Zhaowu initially wanted to find someone from the Ministry of Rites to fill the ambassadorship.
However, I heard that the Kun thieves were ferocious, and I was afraid that I would be selected and go there, leaving no trace of my body. After the news came out, all the doctors and principals in the huge Ministry of Rites fell ill in an instant, and the Minister of Rites also fell ill from anger.
Already.
In the end, Emperor Zhaowu had no choice but to hand over the matter to Liu Desheng, the governor of Guangdong.
Mr. Liu is also very helpless, who should he send?
No one wants to go.
In the end, I can only recommend my master Zhang Sanxu.
But Zhang Sanxu is just a scholar, white body.
Emperor Zhaowu finally appointed him as the ambassador to Xinghai Kingdom by special decree, with the ninth rank!
Okay, the ninth grade is indeed a bit low, but fortunately, Zhang Sanxu was originally a white man, but now he has become an official because of the smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.
Not to mention whether the ambassadorship is good or not, Zhang Sanxu is somewhat happy in his heart.
After all, after a period of contact, he felt that this thief was not as ferocious and murderous as the legend said.
Besides, even if he resigned, Governor Liu would not dare to keep him.
In short, whether it was because of his own efforts or because of his own will, Zhang Sanxu eventually became the ambassador of the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty to the Xinghai Kingdom.
After landing, several cannon shots were fired, and then the children came forward to lay flowers.
Well, Zhang Sanxu didn't know much about the situation, so he could only follow the Xinghai people's procedures.
After the welcome ceremony was over, a carriage took Zhang Sanxu to a hotel in the dock area.
This hotel was a bit damaged when traveling through it. As it may be a dilapidated building, it has not been used since then.
After receiving the news that the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty had sent an ambassador, the Ministry of Construction immediately sent people to renovate it and put it into operation as a special hotel for receiving ambassadors from various countries.
As for whether it is a dilapidated building, according to Building Affairs Committee member Mi Hongxin, as long as there is no earthquake, it will be fine for another 20 to 30 years. The elders will not live in it anyway.
Well, Zhang Sanxu didn't even know that this hotel was rated as slightly dangerous by Mi Hongxin, but after he checked in and the hotel waiter introduced him to the use of flush toilets, lights, etc., he felt like something
