Chapter 1487: Beating the Rabbit with Grass

Can it be disobeyed?

Of course not!

Once he disobeyed, Zheng Sen was almost certain that Wu Zheng would be guilty of this crime and immediately detain himself and send him to Li Dingguo.

Zheng Sen regretted it at this time, regretted his greed, if it wasn't for this negotiation, he wouldn't come, as long as he didn't come, then there was still room for maneuver.

At least, whether it is Li Dingguo or Wu Zheng, in the short term, it is impossible to risk a big civil war to force themselves to comply.

But now, what to do?

Beads of sweat were already dripping from Zheng Sen's angry face.

"You have a choice." Wu Zheng's tone was still flat, "Lone will not force you, but the total strength of the Fujian, Guangdong and Qing troops is still above 100,000, and your department is already less than 80,000." If the Fujian, Guangdong, and Qing armies, under the deterrence of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Great Western Army, turn their heads to attack you, how will you respond? This is one of them. Second, after this battle, the strength of your naval division is less than sixty percent before the war, and the combined fleet of Fanren has lost less than twenty percent. If Thorne doesn't want the Eastern Domain to change hands, he will restart the war and fight you, how will you deal with it? ”

Zheng Sen sweated like rain, his handsome face looked a little hideous, he stared at Wu Zheng and didn't speak.

Wu Zheng sighed lightly, "Don't look at me like that, although I am not a gentleman, I will never sit back and watch you be defeated by Fanren, just ...... You also know that the Great General's Mansion really can't withstand another big war in the short term...... Otherwise, Gu would not have ordered our army to stop going north ...... when he drank the Yellow River. ”

These words came from Wu Zheng's heart, and generally the truth does not need to be covered up and circled, so Zheng Sen understands it, and it is precisely because he understands it that he is even more angry.

"But you still want to weaken my water master and let Fufu talk...... Otherwise, how could I fight this great battle with the enemy fleet? ”

Wu Zheng exhaled lightly and said, "Lone admits it...... admit that there is indeed some selfishness, after all, the south of the Yangtze River, which is fighting separately, is not in the interests of Lone, and Lone cannot be afraid of you in the south at any time to attack southern Zhejiang, and go all out on the north expedition...... But on the other hand, if it weren't for the greed of your sailors, how could you be bitten by the main force of the enemy fleet? What makes this king even more incomprehensible is that Kinmen has a strong defensive strength, but it was broken by a partial division of the enemy, which caused you to gather the whole army to pursue and fall into the enemy's ambush ....... ”

The anger on Zheng Sen's face gradually receded, and Wu Zheng was telling the truth.

His "16-character mantra" was indeed effective in harassing merchant ships of various countries.

It is precisely because it is effective that it fuels the recklessness and greed of the sailors under his command.

Knowing that this is Wu Zheng's conspiracy, it is reasonable, after all, it is reasonable.

Who is to blame?

Zheng Sen fell into a daze, and he asked dryly, "What if I don't agree?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled, "Don't worry, this king can't do anything to detain you as a villain, you can go back at any time." ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, then got up, pulled his legs and left.

Behind him, Wu Zheng said: "There is one thing that this king wants to remind you that although Lone and King Jin have no intention of fighting in the same room, if you don't agree, you will naturally not be regarded as a friendly army." ”

Zheng Sen took this step, and finally couldn't take a step, he understood the meaning of Wu Zheng's words, he was neither an enemy nor a friend, and of course he would not reinforce him.

However, under the land and water attack of the Fujian, Guangdong, Qing army and Fanren fleet, if Li Dingguo and Wu Zheng chose to watch from the sidelines, with Zheng Sen's prefectures without strategic depth, the outcome would basically be doomed.

Zheng Sen turned around slowly and looked at Wu Zheng's harmless face, "You...... Vile! ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said: "Be a prince, your talent is not suitable for leading troops, at least the Northern Expedition, you can't!" ”

Zheng Sen's heart was shocked, "You mean...... A place in Fujian and Guangdong? ”

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want...... This, Eastern Domain. ”

Zheng Sen's face sank, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, he was too naΓ―ve, how could Wu Zheng let himself be in Fujian and Guangdong? What he couldn't get after years of hard work, how could he be rewarded by Wu Zheng?

However, Zheng Sen finally breathed a sigh of relief, something is better than nothing, and he finally has a base where he can recuperate, maybe ...... The coming days are promising.

Zheng Sen turned around and walked back a few steps, clasped his fists and said, "But the Eastern Domain is still in the hands of the red-haired ghost...... ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "But the 20,000 Northern Expeditionary Army has landed. ”

"You just said that the General's Mansion is no longer capable of fighting."

"Yes. But Lone had no intention of fighting again. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌŸβ€

Wu Zheng said: "The method has already made Chen Yonghua tell you. ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, and then understood, yes, the sixteen-character mantra is indeed useful, but it was misinterpreted by himself and executed by the soldiers under his command.

There are 20,000 Northern Expeditionary troops stationed in the east and north of the Eastern Domain, and then let the sailors control the west and south directions, with the 8,000 red hairs on the island, how can they complete the breakthrough, and where will they break through? Do you throw yourself into the sea to feed the fish?

The combined fleet is indeed strong, but there is always a time when the shells run out, and there is no supply, how can it support such a huge fleet and sailors?

It's simple, but it's ...... Hey, Zheng Sen let out a long sigh.

……。

The negotiations with the red hair went very well.

When the war has reached this point, there is nothing left to entangle.

Kerry? Thorne could not count on Europe to send another large fleet to the east, so the situation in the Eastern Domain, the survival of the Combined Fleet would be difficult.

Although the Zheng family's sailors were beaten to the ground, the capital ships were especially there, and the rendezvous between Wusong, Zhoushan and the Zheng family's sailors was equivalent to cutting off Kerry? Thorne wants the possibility of winning a battle, the key is that the Northern Expeditionary Army in the two directions of Doro (Hualien) and Tamsui is eyeing each other, making Kerry? It is impossible for Thorne to defend the island with the defenders of the island.

If you really want to lose, even if you lose both, I'm afraid that the ending of the change of hands in the Eastern Domain Island cannot be changed, so why fight again?

It's better to sit down and talk about the conditions.

After three days of "good faith" negotiations, the two sides reached a framework for an agreement.

Kerry? In his capacity as commander of the Combined Fleet, Thorne recognized the sovereignty of the Yixing Dynasty over the Eastern Domain on behalf of the nations.

In the name of the general of the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng granted the Dutch navy the right to stay in the port of Tamsui for five years, after which the Dutch navy must be evacuated.

At the same time, in the name of King Wu of the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng granted merchants from various countries a tax exemption of 50% on the Eastern Domain, while Dutch merchants enjoyed a five-year tax exemption with the same amount as merchants from other countries at the end of the period.

The last one was to release all the prisoners who had been captured in the two naval battles at Tanhu Mountain and the Eastern Domain, including the English general Nabul, who already hated the itchy red hair, which laid the foundation for a greater battle of interests between the English and the Dutch in the Strait of Malacca in the future, and also laid the foundation for Wu Zheng to extend the tentacles of the sailors into the scope of Malacca in a timely manner, of course, that is a later story.
