The two of them were muttering here, and they couldn't hear clearly, so they became more and more nervous, Zheng Fu glanced at the captain of the slurry boat kneeling next to him, said a few words, and raised his head and said loudly:

"Brother Xue listens to me, please send a message to the envoy of the Australian Federation, if you don't bombard the palace, there is nothing that cannot be discussed!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Captain Haluban who was kneeling next to him, and after talking a few more words in a whisper, he nodded to the back and added again:

"It's also fortunate not to shell the Prime Minister's Mansion and barracks......"

Before Zheng Fu finished speaking, Captain Haluban hurriedly waved his hand at the back, and the group of soldiers kneeling behind him got up, bent down, and in groups of four, carried up four large boxes of wood.

Zheng Fu immediately got up and stepped forward, bowed down to uncover the red cloth, and opened the lid of the box, which was actually neatly stacked with gold bars and silver ingots, which were very eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Beiguo's heart jumped with excitement, and he said Let's start making money now? But the joy on his face was fleeting, and at this time, this doctor of history from the old world hated himself a little, are Nima's eye sockets so shallow? No, yes! Tasteless! Decide!

So Zhu Beiguo didn't look at the boxes of gold and silver in front of him, but turned his head behind his hands to look at Zheng Fu and Captain Haluban, who were kneeling in place and bowing their heads and waiting for a reply, and deliberately paused for a few seconds without speaking.

Probably estimating that this forced pretending should be about the same, Zhu Beiguo spoke at this time, but his voice was already very gentle:

"Your name is Zheng Fu, right?"

"Xiaomin Zheng Fu, meet the ...... of Macao UM! ”

"Commonwealth of Australia."

"Yes, Commonwealth of Australia...... Adult ......"

"Well, when you go back, tell His Majesty the King, this, there is a debtor and a debtor, our Australian Federation is a civilized state, and we never bully the weak, but the piracy of your country is heinous, if you know how to repent, you should show greater sincerity.

Okay, I'll take the gold and silver for now, but it's not enough! In addition, if you don't return the ship and release the Han slaves in Sulu immediately, the Australian Federation will not think that you are sincerely seeking peace! From now on, I will give you a three-day deadline, and if there is no result after three days, the jade of this Holo City will be burned! ”

…… This historic contact between the Kingdom of Sulu and the Commonwealth of Australia ended in less than half an hour.

Both sides touched each other's bottoms, and the three-day deadline given to the Kingdom of Sulu was the result of everyone's collective discussion, and the advantage of this was obvious: it could fully blackmail the other party!

First of all, it is impossible for Sulu to complete the return of Xue Laixiang's ships in only three days, according to the confession of the interrogation prisoners, Xue Laixiang's three ships have already gone to sea, and now they don't know where to participate in the robbery, even if they can get in touch in three days, and then rush back without hindrance, it is completely too late in time, so there is only one purpose for doing this:

Put as much pressure on the other person as possible to see what else the other person can spit out.

As for the king's message brought by Zheng Fu, there is also a supplementary request later: Don't shell the Prime Minister's Mansion and the barracks, well, of course, Zhu Beiguo heard the sound: first say not to shell the palace, and after discussing with the two sides, there is an addition that they will not shell the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Well, in fact, the king wants to tell us that we can shell the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? As for the barracks, it's just a foil, well, we already know that you guys are fighting fiercely......

However, what to do depends on your Majesty's performance, if you cooperate, there is no problem, otherwise, it is still the same sentence - "jade is burned".

Zhu Beiguo responded to the king's message in this way, but it was not clear whether the king could understand it.

That morning, however, there was a positive response from the king's side.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the captain of the pulp row and Zheng Fu appeared on the dock again, this time they were not followed by soldiers, nor did they have any gifts, but a large group of ragged people, Xue Laixiang was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while when he saw the group of people on the deck of the Pride - it was the guys who followed him out of Xue's mansion to run to the sea, although there were only about fifty people left, but they finally saw the light of day.

It seems that His Majesty the King understood Zhu Beiguo's words, these people were originally prisoners of the Prime Minister, and naturally they should also be slaves of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now they will be released.

It seems that the great enemy must have reached some kind of deal between the king and the prime minister......

For the next two days, the two sides were safe, the pier of Hollow Harbor was still silent, the north gate of Hollow City was still closed, there was no movement in the gate tower that had collapsed a third of the city, and of course there were no soldiers to be seen on the northern section of the city wall facing the harbor. In any case, after that negotiation, the Sulu state paid some gold and silver, and the peace between the two sides was maintained forever.

However, there are still some people on both sides who interact every day, and the two negotiators of the Kingdom of Sulu---- Captain Haruban of the pulp row ship and Zheng Fu, who acts as an interpreter, are strictly just a microphone, they have to go to the dock every morning to meet Zhu Beiguo, and the two sides will convey some bargaining messages to each other. In these two days, the two sides put forward their respective demands, mainly focusing on two points: one is the amount of silver to compensate Xue Laixiang, and the other is the number and time of releasing Han slaves.

Although the two sides were bargaining, the atmosphere on both sides was greatly relaxed.

For example, on the morning of the first day of contact between the two sides, when Zhu Beiguo received Xue Laixiang's crew, he invited Ha Zheng and his wife to the deck of the Pride, set up tables and chairs, served refreshments, and began to talk about business—the first topic was naturally about the specific amount of compensation.

Zhu Beiguo told the two microphones straight to the point that the compensation was 250,000 taels of silver, which had to be paid at once!

This number startled Zheng Fu on the spot, and he hurriedly told the other party that although this Sulu country has been established for hundreds of years, it does have some family background, but this is a small state after all, although I don't know what the treasury of this Sulu country is, but I have been doing business here for many years, and it is estimated from the tax on the dock that the annual income is about 100,000 taels of silver, which is still the total income, and it has not been removed and consumed.

However, before Zheng Fu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Laixiang, saying that your brother Zheng is confused, how could this Sulu country start by paying taxes on the docks? It's by robbery!

Just reply like this, and see what the king has to say!

Zheng Fu woke up suddenly, knowing that he was talking but his brain, if it weren't for Xue Lai's thoughts and old friendship's kind reminders, his words would be stupid!

Thinking of this, he didn't care about Captain Haluban sitting next to him, and quickly got up and said, Brother, I am a little confused, thank Brother Xue for reminding him, and after speaking, he said to the captain of the slurry boat, Yili Wala, and heard the captain of the slurry boat nodding frequently, and Xue Laixiang next to him couldn't help but smile and whispered to Zhu Beiguo:

"Then Zheng Fu is handing us a certificate of nomination, he said to Captain Haruban that the Australians want 400,000 taels of silver, and now he is arguing with reason, and now he has talked about 380,000 taels ......."

In fact, Zhu Beiguo is also insightful about this, obviously this Zheng Fu and Sulu Guo are not of the same mind, he has long judged this point, at least, he and the prime minister are not in the same boat.

It's just because of the language barrier between the two sides, Zheng Fu is also Han, and although Captain Haluban is a Sulu nobleman and one of the brothers-in-law of Prime Minister Suhabi, he is obviously a big straw bag, but because of this Captain Haluban, he is a person who has dealt with the "devil ship".

It is estimated that the Prime Minister Suhabi was in a hurry, and he really couldn't find the right person to deal with us, so he really had to send this goods over.
