Paris was bloodbathed, and hundreds of thousands of people were sold as livestock to Hong Kong. They were then transported to Golden Continent, Africa, where they were sold to plantation owners and turned into slaves.
However, the actions of the Spaniards and the Japanese did not end there. The warships of the two countries were rampant in various coastal areas of Western Europe, carrying out fierce artillery attacks on the coastal areas, ports, and cities of England, Portugal, the Netherlands, and France.
Destroy the shipyards along the coasts and rivers of these countries and destroy all ships seen.
Moreover, they continue to plunder people along the coast and along rivers and sell these people into slavery to combat the pirate alliance.
From the ruins of London to the fires of Paris, from the shipyards of Rotterdam to the port of Lisbon, the Spanish and Japanese were everywhere wreaking havoc.
In the end, there was really no other way, and the Pirate Alliance had to send a request for peace talks to Spain and Japan.
There is no need to continue this war.
Having lost their most important maritime force, the Pirate Alliance exists in name only. Without ships, what kind of pirates are they?
Although the French still have a strong army on land, they are tightly restrained by the Spanish on the border. They can only watch Spanish and Japanese warships wreaking havoc on the French coastline.
As for England and the Netherlands, they have no power to resist at all. They have lost their sea power, and their power on the road is even weaker and pitiful.
Here in England, many nobles who were dissatisfied with the King of England rioted again. The Scots in the north saw the opportunity to go south to attack the English. Even the Irish joined in the fun, beating up the dogs in the water, and wanted to take back the north of the island of Ireland.
.
As for the Netherlands, it has actually been ruled by the Spanish for a long time. However, the Dutch and the Spaniards looked down upon it and often fought for independence, and then were conquered by the Spanish, and then fought for independence again, and so on.
They had just announced their independence from Spanish rule, and they wanted to join the Pirate Alliance to attack Spain, but they suffered a disastrous defeat.
Now the Spaniards are no longer just saying that they want to re-rule the Netherlands. They are considering whether to sell all the Dutch people to the Ming Dynasty as slaves, and then imitate the Ming Dynasty and immigrate some people from the Spanish mainland.
There was no way, the Pirate Alliance had to bow to Spain and Japan.
The location of the negotiations was in Paris, France, but when it came time for the negotiations, everyone discovered that there was no longer a decent house in Paris for negotiations.
Louis XII's palace was burned down, and all the large and tall buildings that could be seen were completely destroyed. Finally, an open space had to be found for negotiations.
Duke Colster and Dongfang Yue walked into the venue proudly as victors, and they also specially invited Jiang Liang, the Governor of Hong Kong in the Ming Dynasty, to come here as a witness.
"Your Majesty the Governor~"
Seeing Jiang Liang, King Louis XII of France, Thomas, the special minister of King Henry VIII of England, and Duke Louis, the special minister of King Manuel I of Portugal, all stood up one after another.
Jiang Liang has been in Europe for many years, and has already gotten to know kings, important ministers, nobles and the like of various European countries, and even has regular correspondence with them.
As the Governor of Hong Kong in the Ming Empire, he had great influence in Europe and represented the Ming Empire in every word and deed.
Now the Spaniards and Japanese have invited him over. Once this agreement is reached, it means that it will soon spread throughout the world and be known to people all over the world.
At the same time, this also means that if you want to tear up this agreement in the future, you may have to look at the faces of the Ming people, even though the Ming people did not participate in this war.
But when the peace agreement is finally signed, as a witness, if either party tears up the agreement, this will also make the Ming people feel that you have no credibility at all, and future cooperation with the Ming people will inevitably be affected in many ways.
For King Louis XII of France, he just wants to delay time with peace talks. When he recovers, he will definitely tear up the agreement without hesitation, go to war with Spain again, and get back everything he lost.
For these countries in Europe, the agreement is just toilet paper to wipe their butts. It depends on whether it is needed or not. When necessary, it can be torn up at any time.
The so-called spirit of contract is only emphasized because few people keep their promises.
From the king down to the ordinary people, it can be said that this is the case. It has always been their tradition to be completely shameless. As for whether to recognize the contract and the content of the agreement, it all depends on the balance of interests.
Now that the Ming Dynasty Governor of Hong Kong has come, he will have a lot more worries when he tears up the treaty in the future.
"Your Majesty the King~"
"Mr. Thomas~"
"Duke Louis~"
Jiang Liang greeted people he knew with a smile on his face.
He has been in Europe for many years and is getting older. Recently, he has received a telegram from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. Next year, he will leave Hong Kong and return to his homeland.
Thinking about this trip, he might never come to Europe again in this life, which made him a little sad. Over time, he had developed feelings for Europe.
"I came here today just to see an old friend. I will be transferred back to the Ming Dynasty next year. I may never come to Europe again. This may be the last time we meet."
Jiang Liang looked at Louis XII and others, and could clearly see the meaning in their eyes. There was no doubt that they hoped that he could help them.
But obviously, he couldn't do it. This was not in the interests of the Ming Empire, even though he had often accepted gifts from beauties and the like from them in the past.
Hearing Jiang Liang's words, Louis XII, Thomas, Louis and others showed disappointed expressions. If Jiang Liang was willing to help, it would still be of some use.
As for Duke Colster and Dongfang Yue, they laughed lightly.
I don't care who invited me here, how could I speak for you? As for the relationship, it is also Spain. The relationship between Japan and the Ming Dynasty is better.
"This is our proposed armistice agreement. If you have no objections, just sign it."
Duke Colster took out an armistice agreement written in multiple languages and said arrogantly.
There is no doubt about the bandit spirit of Europeans.
When they win, the victor's posture will be very high, and his appetite will be extremely huge, often wanting to swallow you even with your bones.
Louis XII and others picked up the agreement and read it carefully.
Article 1: France, England, Portugal, etc., as the chief culprits in provoking the war, bear all the responsibilities for this war and need to compensate Spain for the war losses of 50 million taels of silver and Japan for the war losses of 30 million taels of silver. You can
installment.
Article 2: France ceded Marseille and Bordeaux to Spain, England ceded Wales to Spain, and Bournemouth to Japan.
"Impossible! We in France will never accept such an armistice agreement."
"This is not an armistice, it is an insult to our great France!"
Just after reading the beginning, Louis XII angrily tore up the agreement.
Damn it, what kind of armistice agreement is this? France is a pair and will not accept such an armistice agreement.
We were defeated at sea, we admit this, but on the road, France still needs an army of 200,000 strong, and if it is willing, it can also arm an army of several hundred thousand strong.
If it really comes to a dead end, then I will lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Lesotho, Spain, and your warships will not be able to reach the road in Niucha.
I'll compensate Spain with 50 million taels of silver and Japan with 30 million taels of silver, and I won't be afraid of killing you. Is your belly that big?
Furthermore, how could he get so much money? Even if he sold all the French people, it would not be worth such a huge amount.
There is also the cession of Marseille and Bordeaux to Spain. These two territories are huge and their geographical location is very important. They are basically the lands that France cannot lose, so there is no need to talk about them.
Not to mention that France has not reached that point. Even if it does reach that point, the French will fight to the end and will never accept such a humiliating treaty.
"We in England will never accept such a humiliating treaty. This is not an armistice treaty, it is just an insult to our England~"
Thomas also said very solemnly.
If you want money, how can England have any money? The Ming Dynasty and the Spanish war reparations have made England breathless. Henry VII barely supported himself by robbing the wealth of the nobles.
Now the lion is opening his mouth, and it is tens of millions of taels of silver all at once. Even if the three countries bear it together, it will definitely not be less when it finally falls on England. Is it possible for England to give out so much silver?
Impossible, selling England wouldn't be worth that much money.
As for ceding Wales to Spain, this is even more impossible. England itself is a big place, and Wales is the largest and most important place. It was ceded to Spain all of a sudden, plus Hong Kong, which was ceded to Ming Dynasty, and
Land ceded to Spain.
There is a lot of turmoil in various parts of England now. How much of England will be left in the future?
Cut a little bit today, cut a little bit tomorrow, it's almost finished.
Such an armistice agreement would never be accepted, and Henry VIII would never accept it.
"We in Portugal will not accept such an armistice agreement~"
Duke Louis also said that although Portugal does not need to cede land, Portugal cannot afford such huge war compensation.
Portugal no longer has overseas colonies, and maritime trade is monopolized by the Spanish. How can Portugal afford such a huge war indemnity in its small area?
"If you do not accept such a truce agreement, then we will continue to fight until you agree."
Duke Colster and Dongfang Yue looked at each other, smiled and said, as if they were convinced of you.
"Come on then, we French will never accept such a humiliating treaty!"
Louis XII was angry, got up and left, thinking about how to defeat the Spaniards on land.
