Chapter 665: Chongzhen's Godson
Mekhail didn't believe that Lee Seung-yan would be so kind at all - he originally said that he would use Surat as the boundary, and it was already very abnormal if he didn't advance to Gujarat, and now he would make a big concession?
Is it to retreat or what do you want to do? Or, when they brought up Surat at the beginning, it was actually a false shot, and the real intention was actually Vidal?
Maikhail was a little confused about Li Chengyan's thoughts, and he didn't even dare to guess.
Daming has put forward a total of four conditions, and three have been roughly negotiated so far, leaving the last one about the land still entangled, at this time, don't have any more demon moths.
Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Since your country can't cede so much land, my Ming Emperor has the heart of heaven, and we are the courtiers, so naturally we can't embarrass your country too much."
So, let's rent it instead. In the area from Barola to Vidal, I have a lease from your country for a period of ninety-nine years, which will be returned at the end of the year, and the rent shall be paid to your country on an annual basis.
In this way, the problem of difficult land cession is solved, and at the same time your country can get a large amount of rent, and after ninety-nine years, is it not the best of both worlds? β
Once again, Mekhail was speechless.
The key point of negotiation lies in a single word, everyone puts forward various conditions, and then talks slowly.
However, this kind of negotiation, in fact, has a precondition, that is, the strength of the two sides cannot differ too much - for example, there is a huge disparity between the negotiations between the Ming and the Mughals, and the way of negotiation is naturally different.
Just like Li Hongzhang and Ito Hirobumi, no matter how strong Li Hongzhang's ability is, he has a bird, but in the end, he still becomes a pastemaker-like existence.
is different from Li Hongzhang, a junior in later generations, Li Chengyan has much more confidence - all over the world dare to stand up and try if he is not convinced!
Even Lee Seung-yan could have slowed down the negotiations, dwelling on some inconsequential details to force Mekhail to back down.
The reason is very simple, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet have completely blocked the Mughal navy, and the two royal guards in the north and south, plus the Beijing camp and the new army, and a large number of guard posts are still moving forward.
The reason why there was no deliberate delay, but intentionally or unintentionally pushed forward the progress of the negotiations, was just because he didn't want Ye Yang and the others to die in vain.
In addition, the only way to get the negotiations reached as soon as possible is to let the Mughals stabilize as soon as possible.
When there is no foreign enemy of the Ming Dynasty, a good show within the Mughal will be staged, how will the three princes fight to the death, and even whether it will give birth to other people's ambitions, such a big drama, the whole Ming Dynasty wants to take a good look.
What's more, the change to lease has any impact on Daming?
In fact, it doesn't have any impact, it's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later, and what the current Ming should do is to get out of the chaos of the Mughals, let them continue the chaos, and it is more important for the Ming to focus on the UK.
Seeing that Mekhail's expression was finally a little moved, Li Chengyan struck while the iron was hot and said, "I really don't consider raiding my house?" Actually, if you want to copy a wave, I have some professionals who can help you, very simple? β
Lai Zongdao couldn't help coughing: "Whether to raid the house or not, let Mr. Mekhail think about it after he goes back."
The old man had some questions and wanted to talk to Mr. Makhail. β
Mekhail said: "Isn't there a total of these four conditions? β
Lai Zongdao's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "On these lands of your country, there are still many people, I don't know how the nobles plan to settle down?" When will they all be taken away? β
When Mekhail heard this, he immediately felt a tightness in his heart.
Take? How to bring? Is it worth and necessary for these heretics to take away?
After laughing, Mekhail said: "I, the Mughals, are naturally reluctant to leave the people of my country behind, I don't know what you think?" β
Lai Zongdao chuckled: "If your country has the intention of taking away the people, it will be faster, after all, the war is connected, and it is the people who suffer in the end?" β
Mekhail said: "It's just for a while, but it can't take away so many people, why don't you let them stay?" Perhaps, these people can also provide some tax revenue for your country? β
There is no bottom in Mekhail's heart.
The gray-bearded old man in front of him was so hateful, not at all like the young one - the young one was okay to say, and he said his thoughts directly after making it clear that the carriage and horse were basically those four conditions, and there was no other mess.
But this gray-bearded man just asked himself when he would take away the people?
Of course, Ben wants to take everyone away, so that you can't collect a single silver coin in taxes, but do the Mughals still have the strength to take the people away?
What's more, most of those who stayed were those heretics, except for the cattle that worshiped the Buddha and chanted the scriptures every day, what did they take away for?
It's better to let these people stay, and let you Ming people have a headache!
After Lai Zongdao glanced at Zhu Chunchen, he stroked his beard and said: "That's it, my Emperor Ming is benevolent to the people, and as a cabinet minister, he naturally has to be in the heart of heaven and put benevolence and righteousness first."
Since your envoy has said so, let those people stay, I will definitely settle it properly, and I will not let the lord of your country worry. β
β¦β¦
Emperor Chongzhen, who left Mekhail and ignored him, had already run back to the big tent where he was resting, and the eldest prince Zhu Cixiao was lying on the couch, his head was full of cold sweat, but he was holding on not to cry out in pain.
Emperor Chongzhen himself went to take a stack of concerts and threw them in front of the eldest prince, but only then did he say: "Look at it, these concerts are all impeached for you to leave the palace without permission."
Your mother's concubine is better, your grandfather has already transferred 2,000 elite horses, and Tuo Mao Wenlong will send them to Myanmar next time, you can see for yourself, how much trouble you have caused! β
Zhu Cixiao gritted his teeth and said: "Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong have all led troops out of the customs to expedition to the desert, and my father also led troops to expedition. β
Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "The heart is good, but he has done bad things." Before doing these things next time, you must first think about whether it will have any bad impact on the people, the court, and the Ming Dynasty.
You are my eldest son, and I also said early on that you will be crowned the king of Liao in the future, so you can't always look at things with the eyes and minds of a child.
If not, why do I want you to study literature in the morning and go to the young army to practice martial arts in the afternoon? Don't let me down on my expectationsβthe burden of the Lord of a nation is not light. β
Zhu Cixiao said depressedly: "Erchen doesn't want to be the lord of the country, and he doesn't want to study literature. Those masters are too boring to give lectures, and the sons and daughters like to ride horses and whips the most, and it is best to personally command the army and go on expeditions outside the territory.
Erchen also knows that Erchen can't be the prince, and the prince will definitely be one of Erchen's younger brothers. But Erchen didn't want to fight with them, so Erchen wanted to lead his troops to fight. β
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a moment - fortunately, Lao Tzu has many sons, and there are many numbers that have been abolished, and they will not all be abolished.
If it is really the same as Emperor Xiaozong, only Zhu Houzhao's son, then it is a real headache, even if he is scolded by that little bastard as a dog emperor, Emperor Xiaozong has to endure it!
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said: "No matter how boring the lessons taught by those masters are, they still have to learn what they should study."
I don't expect you to learn any sage words from it, nor do I expect you to become a generation of Ming Jun by relying on Zi Yue Shiyun, I just hope that you can learn from it that it is not easy for the people.
Only by knowing that it is not easy for the people can we know how to govern the country and how to treat the people well.
You are destined to be the lord of a country, and no matter how much you like to fight, it can't change the fact that you will be the king of Liao, so you must know how to govern the country and control the country, and you must teach your children well. β
Zhu Cixiao said sullenly: "Yes, Erchen wrote it down." β
Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Also, don't talk lightly about how to fight, the Mughal is also a strong country, and now how will it end?" It's my Ming expedition here, how much did it cost?
When you have recovered from your wounds, and the two thousand fine horsemen sent by your grandfather have almost arrived, you will follow the English prince and learn how to march and fight.
In addition, I want you to learn from the medical officer, not for you to learn medical skills, that thing is of no great use to the lord of a country.
What I want you to learn is how to bandage a wounded soldier - you must do it yourself! β
Seeing Zhu Cixiao's puzzled look, Emperor Chongzhen said: "There will be casualties in a war." Only when you know what it is like for the soldiers to be injured, can you know what it means to truly cherish the lives of the soldiers! β
This time, Zhu Cixiao didn't object anymore - fighting or something is the most interesting, bandaging the soldiers should also be, and he has to prove to his father that he is no longer a child!
Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The so-called governance of the country is based on the people, the people are governed by the officials, the officials are divided into civil and military, but the people's hearts are the same.
The sages all said that the people are more important than the king, but the emperors of all dynasties, including the emperors of my Ming Dynasty, who is the real people?
Maybe they also have people who value the people, but they live in the deep palace and don't know the people's suffering, how can they truly respect the people and love the people?
After you come to the country, you must remember that you must not only look at what the officials want you to see, but you must have your own eyes, or use factory guards, or see and listen to them yourself, so that you can know what the real people are like. β
This time, Zhu Cixiao could only say obediently: "The sons and daughters must remember the teachings of their father." β
Zhu Cixiao thinks that he is no longer a child, and his father also thinks that he has grown up, so he tells him so many things.
Among the children of the royal family, in fact, there are few fools, and the education and resources that can be enjoyed since childhood are far from being comparable to ordinary people.
Zhu Cixiao has long been curious about why his father is different from the Ming Jun that the masters said, and now it seems that what kind of Ming Jun is not as wise as his own father.
A child who thinks he is not a child, but the things that cause it are not small.
Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Cihong, the second son of the emperor, with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Tie up this bastard thing to the palace!" β
Not only Queen Zhou's face is ugly, but also Tian Guifei, Yuan Guifei, Wanfei Wanyan Yuzhuo, and Concubine Yi Lin Tongtang's faces are not very good-looking.
Marrying into the royal family is a great thing to climb to the sky, and when today's son is a person who knows how to hurt people, his life has been fulfilled so far, what more can he ask for?
However, these princes are heartbreaking!
The eldest prince Zhu Cixian threw off the little eunuch he was carrying and ran out of the palace alone, leaving a letter saying that he was going to find his father and help his father fight, and now the second prince Zhu Cihong is going to do the same and plan to run out of the palace.
If it weren't for the fact that the little eunuch was afraid of death and kept an eye on it, Jinyiwei and the people in the inner factory were also keeping an eye on the remaining princes and princesses, I was afraid that this time it would really make the second prince succeed.
Then the fun will be great!
The eldest prince Zhu Cixiao ran out of the palace, and a lot of impeachment chapters have been piled up, and there are many sent to Emperor Chongzhen.
Concubine Yi couldn't help but glance at the son she was holding in her arms with a little weakness - this little bastard was also laughing, and he seemed to want to leave the palace with a jumping appearance!
slapped Zhu Ciyi's ass hatefully, and after seeing Zhu Ciyi's mouth curled and about to cry, Concubine Yi coaxed in a low voice again.
Zhu Cihong was very depressed - you are crying, if you cry, this palace may not have to be beaten......
Zhu Cihong was indeed not beaten, not because Zhu Ciyi cried, but because Empress Zhou was not willing to order him to be beaten in the end.
After barely escaping the pain of flesh and skin, Zhu Cihong was tied to a chair and honestly basked in the sun in the palace.
After glancing left and right, Empress Zhou snorted and said, "After you go back, you must also tell the people in your respective palaces to pay more attention to the princes and princesses, and don't let them run out like the eldest prince!"
If the palace finds out who dares to help the princes and princesses out of the palace, the family law of the palace will be merciless! The palace maids and eunuchs will all be killed, and as for the few of you, you will also have to think about the wall in the palace! β
Yuan Guifei and the others immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, the concubine has written it down." β
Queen Zhou flicked her sleeves hatefully and turned back to Kunning Palace, and before leaving, she didn't forget to snort coldly: "This bastard thing is tied up here, and he is not allowed to be released until it is dark, let alone given him anything to eat!" β
Yuan Guifei and the others looked at each other for a long time, and then they had to disperse.
Emperor Chongzhen's sons were spoiled by Emperor Chongzhen - the eldest successfully ran away, the second planned to run away but failed, the third too little to run, and the remaining daughters were quite worry-free.
What a good way to teach children like this!
