Crit!

Shen Weijing's answer is tantamount to a critical attack for Martin!

What a murderous heart!

"You Daming are really despicable and shameless, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of our army went out to fight, sneak attacked Luzon, and even had the face to come here to show off your might, is it really good for me to bully." Martin slapped the table angrily, pointed at Shen Weijing and scolded angrily.

Shen Weijing was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Mr. Martin's sneak attack on my Penghu area, can it be regarded as above board?" ”

Martin snorted: "You don't even have a single soldier in the Penghu area, so how can you be embarrassed to say that this land is yours." ”

Shen Weijing said: "How does Mr. Martin know that we don't even have a soldier here, maybe we just saw you fighting with the Japanese and didn't want to disturb you." ”

Martin was shocked, how many people are hidden in this small Penghu? I'm really in a wolf's den! But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be complacent, this war is not over yet." ”

Shen Weijing smiled and said: "Does Mr. Martin really think that the big Japanese country has the ability to confront my Ming Dynasty." ”

Martin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the other party had already guessed his hole cards.

It's not fun.

"Mr. Martin need not be surprised." Shen Weijing said: "As far as the little tricks of the Japanese people, who can they hide, they actually knew about our plan for a long time, but they did not inform Mr. Martin, the purpose is to force Mr. Martin to cooperate with them in Penghu and deal with me together." ”

Martin laughed, "So you're here to sabotage our cooperation." ”

Shen Weijing shook his head and said: "It's really not that I'm arrogant, this purpose is not enough to make a special trip to the next one, I have never put that country of projectiles in my eyes, in our eyes, the whole of Japan is not as important as you, Mr. Martin." ”

Martin asked, "And why are you here?" ”

Shen Weijing said: "Of course, we are here for business, and we don't want to lose our cooperation with Mr. Martin just like this." ”

Martin immediately exasperated: "My vice-governor is still surrounded by you, in this case, how can we cooperate, unless you withdraw from Luzon immediately." ”

"Luzon is already my Ming, and we can't agree to this." Shen Wei said respectfully.

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

Martin snorted: "Please also ask Mr. Shen to go back and tell your generals that if our people make any mistakes, I will definitely let you pay with blood, and you should not forget that your artillery and bird guns can still learn from us, although they don't learn very well." ”

Shen Weijing said with a smile: "If your artillery is really that strong, your invincible armada will not be completely wiped out when it attacked small England last time." ”

Martin was shocked and said, "You... What did you say. ”

Shen Weijing smiled: "I mean, I believe that England will be very much looking forward to trading with my Ming Dynasty." ”

Martin's back was soaking wet.

Do you know this?

You're a fairy, aren't you?

Or are you already in contact with England?

For a moment, he was distraught.

At this critical moment in the negotiations, the mind was confused, and the initiative was basically lost.

Shen Weijing looked at his expression, and his heart was also slightly surprised, Consultant Guo is really powerful. Anyway, as long as it is useful, he was imposing, and said: "But we still hope to continue to cooperate with you, and, in a short time, our Ming will fully open up overseas trade, I believe that the trade with my Ming will be able to support you to continue to deal with England." ”

The implication is that if you don't agree, we'll start trading with England.

Martin did not expect that this negotiation would be implicated in a war on the other side of the ocean.

In fact, as far as the entire Spanish Empire is concerned, if the Ming Dynasty starts a full-scale trade with England, it is absolutely unacceptable to the Spanish Empire, because it can not only help England improve its national strength, but also enhance their influence, after all, the goods of the Ming Dynasty are very popular in the whole of Europe.

The most important thing is that the purchasing power of this silver in Daming is very considerable, without the super market of Daming, where is the silver in the Americas sold?

But what's interesting is that Shen Weijing doesn't understand at all, he just took Guo Dan's letter and said it in the way of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he didn't know what England was.

Martin also realized that he was a little out of shape, he thought that it was very unfavorable for him to discuss this topic in depth, and immediately changed the topic: "Your Emperor Ming is not trustworthy, and last time he invited us to deal with your Ming pirates, he promised to allow our missionaries to go to your Ming Dynasty to preach freely, and allow our merchants to enter the Ming Dynasty to trade freely.

But the result is that when we missionaries enter the Ming Dynasty, we have to learn your Confucianism first, wear your Confucian shirts, and our merchants enter your Ming Dynasty, and they are enclosed together like pigs, and even the water and food are controlled, and they are often caught and spanked by your government. ”

It's really full of complaints, we missionaries went to your country to preach, and the condition was that they were brainwashed by you first.

There's really no one left.

Shen Weijing was a little embarrassed, he knew that this was all a fact, the reputation of the fat house was indeed not good, and there was no lower limit for making money, so he avoided the importance and said lightly: "I came this time, not on behalf of the emperor, but on behalf of Yinuo Yaxing." ”

"Okay?"

Martin was slightly stunned.......!

Shen Weijing nodded and said, "Because at that time, our Majesty will contract Luzon Island to Yinuoyaxing, and the proprietor of Yinuoyaxing will ........" ”

"Guo Dan?"

Martin said suddenly.

"Yes."

Shen Weijing smiled and said, "Martin has also heard of the name of our proprietor? ”

Martin nodded.

Shen Weijing said: "Mr. Martin should also know that our proprietor is based on good faith, and our proprietor will make Luzon an important trading town, exempt from all taxes there, and you can continue to live in Luzon for a long time to do business, and you don't need to pay any taxes, which is no different from before." Not only that, but we also want to buy more goods from you. ”

Martin said: "Are you true? ”

For a long time, the Ming mainly exported goods, only imported silver, which made them a little uncomfortable, this is not the trade they should have, but the problem is that the Ming have no demand for their goods.

Shen Weijing nodded and said: "Our proprietor knows you very well, and also knows that you have a lot of good goods, in fact, it is our proprietor who is very eager to do business with you Francison, so our army has occupied Luzon for so many days, and has not besieged your castle." ”

Martin groaned and said, "I know, but I still have to think about it." ”

Shen Weijing arched his hand and said, "Farewell." ”

After Shen Weijing left, Martin immediately called his two lieutenants, Sanchez and Lopez, to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I don't think there is anything to hesitate about, the conditions offered by Japan are much better." Sanchez said immediately.

Luo Peici also said: "We must not give Luzon to the Ming Dynasty. ”

The conditions given on both sides, both horizontally and vertically, are better given by Japan.

Martin glanced at the two of them and said, "You may have misunderstood, the Japanese side is sincerely negotiating with us, but the Ming side is not negotiating with us, they just told us." ”

Sanchez cursed with a swear word before he said, "In that case, why should the Governor hesitate. ”

"If I reject them, they will seek to work with England," Martin said. ”

"What?"

Sanchez and Lopez looked at Martin in shock.

"They also know that we lost to England in the last naval battle. ”

“......！”

Sanchez and Lopez both have question marks on their faces.

They had come into contact with many Ming merchants, and had never heard any of them speak of England, and now England was a group of pirates, killing people and stealing goods in the Atlantic.

Furthermore, they refer to all Europeans collectively as Franco, how suddenly an England appeared.

That's weird, isn't it?

Martin said: "Maybe the strength of the Ming is much stronger than I imagined, although Japan gave better conditions, but I don't think the Japanese can win the Ming, once Japan loses, we will not only lose the cooperation with the Ming, but also may promote the cooperation between England and the Ming, which may even endanger our country." ”

Sanchez and Lopez looked at each other and frowned.

They gradually understood why Martin was able to tolerate Shen Weijing's domineering, because the fact was that they were not enough to represent the Spanish Empire and were not qualified to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

You can only talk about buying and selling.

What's worse is that they just know that England has been expanding everywhere recently, and has set its sights on trade with the East, and is now opening up the Mediterranean Sea to find a shipping route to the East.

It's really possible for the two sides to hit it off.

You have to change your thinking.

Cooperation with Japan, the conditions are indeed the best, not only can you recapture Luzon, but also may occupy Fuzhou, but first of all, you have to make sure that Japan can eliminate the Ming Dynasty, if not, the whole of Spain will lose the Ming Dynasty, a super big customer, and at the same time, the rivals may replace them.

It's not that they don't dare to take risks, it's that they can't afford it.

This would affect the Spanish Empire's global strategy.

And cooperating with Daming, although he has changed from a host to a guest, he can still continue to trade with Daming in the end, and this money is still to be earned.

Two days later.

The Great Tent of the Japanese Army.

"I'm really sorry, but our Governor has decided to cooperate with Daming."

Sanchez said very cruelly to Yuki Konishi.

Konishi was shocked and said excitedly: "Don't believe the nonsense of the Ming Dynasty, they are very cunning, and it is impossible for them to return Luzon to you." ”

Sanchez nodded: "They have already told us, and we also accept that Luzon was occupied by the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yukicho Konishi was surprised: "Why? ”

"Because they gave us a reason we couldn't refuse," Sanchez said. ”

"What reason?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say that."

Sanchez said: "But our Governor does not want to be an enemy of you Japan, the Daming Naval Division will arrive here soon, and you will not be able to defeat it at that time, so I advise you to retreat as soon as possible." ”

In fact, with their own strength, they may not necessarily lose to Japan, at this time the Spanish combat effectiveness is still okay, and now with the help of the Ming army, then Japan will undoubtedly be defeated, but the matter has come to this, and they don't want to fight with the Japanese for the Penghu of the Ming Dynasty, which is meaningless.

Konishi gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but you will definitely regret it." ”

He believes that the reason why the other party chose to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty is because they think that the Ming Dynasty is more powerful and looks down on them Japan, which is a humiliation to their Japan.

"I'm sorry!"

Sanchez understands Konishi's anger, but he has no choice, Japan can unite them to destroy the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty can also unite with England to destroy them.

Victory, maybe Japan settled in the Central Plains, and they took a corner. defeat, possibly England ending their Spanish Empire.

Who takes advantage?

Japan and England.

The key is that their hope of joining forces with Japan to destroy the Ming is much lower than that of the Ming and England joining forces to destroy them, after all, Japan has not yet defeated the Ming Dynasty, and England has defeated the Invincible Armada and is already expanding everywhere.

On the other hand, Spain and the Ming Dynasty joined forces, which was a benefit for both sides, but they lost a Luzon Island, and their main purpose in occupying Luzon Island was to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Under these circumstances, it is unlikely that Martin would have chosen to cooperate with Japan.
