On the morning of the next day, negotiations were held in the cabin of the sailing ship Franji Guoyuanfang.
The originally scheduled time was to start at the beginning of the morning, but Wang Hong and Liu Tan, with more than ten followers, boarded the ship only after they arrived. Moreover, they were disheveled and sweaty as they sat down to negotiate with several neatly dressed members of the Franzji Kingdom.
in front of the messenger.
The eyes of everyone in Fo Langji were filled with anger. Seeing that Wang Hong and others showed no guilt at all, Earl Atholl began to mock them.
"Is everything in your country so procrastinating? Why did you arrive at this time when negotiating for a major event? Maybe you overslept and had a sweet dream and couldn't get up."
Wang Hong wiped his sweat with a cloth and said nonchalantly: "Aren't we here? Why are you in a hurry? You have nothing to do, but we have a lot of things to do. Early in the morning, we trained our troops and horses, marched ten miles with heavy loads, and practiced assassination
Charge formation. Do you think we have a lot of time? We came here in a hurry."
Deputy Campbell said angrily: "So, we would like to thank you for your visit?"
Wang Hong waved his hands and said: "That's not necessary. Hurry up, let's talk quickly. Whether the negotiation is successful or not, hurry up. I'm not used to sitting here and talking nonsense. We Ming people, what we pay attention to is that our strength is reflected in our true strength. We train troops and fight.
More important than anything else."
Assol said angrily: "You mean, today's important negotiation matter is not as important as your troop training? Then what are we talking about? There is no need to talk about it."
Liu Tan slammed the table and stood up and shouted: "The relationship is good, that's what you said. It's you who came to negotiate with us, we didn't ask you to come. Neither Mr. Wang nor I wanted to negotiate with you.
Negotiation. If you don't want to negotiate, that's best. Mr. Wang, we can withdraw, we are all sweating. Damn it, it's still so hot in the first month of the year, this damn place."
Wang Hong nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I have to prepare extra meals for my brothers for the Lantern Festival tomorrow. Do you think sweet or salty Yuanxiao is better?"
"Of course it's salty and stuffed with meat, and your mouth will be full of oil when you bite it."
"That's not possible. It's your northern Lantern Festival. We southerners love to eat sesame-sugar syrup filling. There are many brothers from the South in the army. If that kid Huo Shijian doesn't eat sweet Lantern Festival, why shouldn't he curse?"
The two of them talked to themselves, getting up and walking out while talking, completely ignoring the people in Fo Langji as if they were nothing.
Athol, Campbell and other popular faces turned pale, and when they didn't know how to vent their anger, Helena, who had been sitting upright, spoke.
"Dear General Wang and General Liu, your Lord Duke attaches great importance to this negotiation. In fact, it was he who conveyed your Ming Empire's intention to negotiate with me, Franji Country, through Bishop Arthur of Franji Country. I
The entire Franji Kingdom sent us to negotiate after careful consideration. The two generals are so neglectful of this matter. I wonder if your lord, the Duke, will agree to your doing this. If he finds out, I wonder if he will punish you two."
Wang Hong and Liu Tan stopped at the door of the cabin.
Wang Hong said: "Yes, Brother Liu, what will the father-in-law tell us when we leave?"
Liu Tan said: "It's because the people of Fo Langji don't want to talk about it. What are they doing to us?"
"Let's talk," cried Lord Campbell.
Wang Hong looked back, spread his hands and said: "It's over, they want to talk, but there is no reason."
Liu Tan said: "Then let's talk. What else can we do? I don't want to be scolded."
The two walked back again and re -seated next to the long table.
Wang Yan said: "Miss Helena, then negotiate. You also know the plan proposed by the grandfather of my country. Do you agree and disagree?"
Helena felt funny. Both of them were leading the war, and they didn't seem to know the negotiations at all. That enemies deliberately made the two people make trouble. Hey, I don't know if he misunderstood himself.
I am angry with myself. I can't help but now I don't know what to do.
"Two generals, don't worry. Regarding the proposal proposed by the Duke of your country, my Terrairo's country has been discussed up and down, and it is generally recognized. But some additional conditions need to be agreed. If you agree with our additional conditions, if you agree with our additional conditions,
Then the negotiations will end soon, and the two generals don't have to suffer here. "Helena said deeply.
Wang Yan said: "Conditions? Do you still have additional conditions?"
Helena said: "Of course, there are conditions, the two countries talk about, each takes it. We naturally need some conditions that are beneficial to us. This is a treaty of equality and mutual benefit."
Wang Yan nodded: "Listen."
Helena said: "my country proposes the following conditions. First, a war has occurred with our country with our country. The country has won the war in a sneak attack and cunning way, occupying a dozen ports of my Buddha Lang's country. The behavior is very despicable. My His Majesty of the Emperor of the country of the country and all the subjects, and the church, asking you to make a formal apology on this. "
The two of Wang Yan and Liu Tan opened their mouths and glanced at each other, and a burst of laughter broke out in an instant.
"Hahaha, General Liu, did you hear it? I heard right? We won the war in a sneak attack and cunning way? We would apologize to them?"
Liu Tan laughed: "You didn't hear it right, I didn't hear it right, but this is the funny joke I have heard."
With a "pop", the table shook a bit, and made a noise. Wang Yan and Liutan turned their heads to look at it, and saw that the opposite Ferlang machine stared at them angrily. Obviously, they felt humiliated.
"Do the two feel very funny? Aren't you fighting and using tricks, this is not a sneak attack?"
"If you want to say that, that's it is really like this. However, apology is impossible. Daming sent troops to fight with you. You are provoked first. You are afraid that we will not expect that we will send troops to fight you. If we say, we need to go towards it.
If you apologize, then you apologize for those things you do on the coast of Daming. You invade my island, kidnapped the people of Daming, and harm me the people of Daming. You first provoked us.
The Guo Guogong decided to punish you. You are afraid that you are still rampant and domineering along the coast of Daming. What is the villain first sued? "Wang Yan put away a smile, drink coldly.
"We just go to business, not to offend you. As for those things, they are leading officers and soldiers in private.
How can we rise to the country? This is two codes. "Asol said coldly.
Liaotan sneered: "The grandfather of our country really said yes. He said that you are a group of cunning and shameless people, and will definitely defend his behavior. Sure enough, this will be a personal behavior.
Is it? I heard that your Francolian machine is full of slavery from the East. A oriental girl, you can spend 80 gold coins in your Terrairo Mile country. An oriental robber can spend 50 gold coins to buy
Is it? If you want to ask you, when you buy and sell these slaves from the East, do you do n’t know where they come from?
If you have a face to apologize? Definitely you think of it. If you win, then you can still have a good face, you dare to mention this condition, it ’s really laughing."
Campbell and Athol both turned green with anger. The reason why they put forward this condition of apology is actually to pave the way for the conditions that will be put forward later. The Ming Empire should be made to assume the position of the fault party, and then they can propose the following.
Some derived requirements.
Campbell and Athol were eloquent and sophistry among the nobles. They thought that these two Ming generals would be silenced by their own side because of their clumsy tongue. It turned out that these two guys were very articulate and eloquent.
Well. He even knows about the Oriental slaves in the population market of his country.
The price of slaves. That means they know the inside story. It is the nobles who stationed troops at various ports and colluded with merchants to carry out human trafficking. It is not appropriate to continue discussing this matter, otherwise I am afraid that all human trafficking businesses except the Ming Dynasty will be included.
Things have to be shaken out.
"You are not much better than us. You have taken away our ports, and then you are going to plunder the wealth from these places?" Assol couldn't help but retort.
"But we didn't cover up for ourselves? We didn't ask you to apologize or anything? We are not as hypocritical and cunning as you. We pretend to be superficial and build a memorial." Wang Hong sneered.
Helena frowned and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this matter. Then you won't agree to this condition, right? You won't apologize, right?"
Wang Hong smiled and said: "Your king apologizes to us first, and then we apologize to you. Everyone apologizes to each other."
Helena turned her head and muttered a few words to the two deputies, and said in a deep voice: "This first condition can be put aside for the time being and will not be discussed. Now let's talk about the second condition. In view of the fact that your actions have seriously damaged the interests of our country, Franji.
We, the Franconian Kingdom, demand compensation from you. We don’t want your money either. We hope that you will use our designated goods as collateral to compensate for the losses we have suffered. We hope that you will use ten warships as compensation for your efforts to sink us.
Indemnity from the Eastern Fleet.”
Wang Hong and Liu Tan were really eye-opening today. They didn't know that negotiation was such a joyful thing, but now, they are even looking forward to what bizarre conditions will come next. These Francois are really crazy and self-righteous.
It’s reached the extreme. At this point, I’m still thinking about these beautiful things.
"Miss Helena, continue to state your conditions. There is no need to state them one by one. Speak them together so that we can answer them together." Wang Hong said seriously.
Helena nodded and said: "That's fine. The third condition our country proposes to your country is that the nearly 2,000 French prisoners of war and expatriates detained by your country, as well as some of our Eastern Fleet warships, will be released unconditionally.
Return it. Since it is to conclude a peace treaty, this is an act of sincerity."
"Our fourth condition is that in the plan proposed by Duke Zhang of your country, regarding the tax rate of trade taxes on Lisbon Port as a transit port in the future, we believe that the tax on the cargo of your ships coming from the East should be borne by our Franz Machinery
It is formulated by the country, not as Duke Zhang said, and is treated equally with the ports in the East. This is the right of our country. Ships and cargo entering the port
The management and taxation rights have nothing to do with you. On the contrary, we require that our French cargo ships must be tax-free when passing through intermediate ports. In addition, Eastern merchant ships after passing the Cape of Good Hope need to be escorted, and the escort fees must be truthful.
Pay. This fee for the merchant ships of our country must be reduced. This is to make up for the loss of our eastern port."
"Article 5, we hope to open a new port in Manlajia. We have taken a fancy to the Dragon Tooth Gate, and we hope to establish a transit port. Of course, it is a port for peaceful troop garrison and escort. This is for the betterment of the two countries.
Good and smooth trade. After all, this waterway is the east-west waterway, you can't monopolize it, that would be too unfair."
Helena made all the remaining requests in one breath. Wang Hong and Liu Tan sat there, with smiles on their faces at first, but by the end, their mouths were grinning behind their ears.
