Chapter 664: Just Talk Slowly

Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to see Mekhail who was in trouble at all, so he just picked up the tea on the table and drank it.

You kneel, or don't kneel, there is only one chance, if you can't grasp it, it's no wonder that everything is worth it - since Ye Yang's death, Emperor Chongzhen's heart is an evil fire that can't go out.

I wanted to directly kill all the Mughals to avenge Ye Yang and them, but I was worried that Ye Yang's plans would be in vain, and I was even more worried that it would make Ye Yang and the others die worthless.

This evil fire has been held back to this day, and finally I can't help it.

You'd better disagree with your grandson, I will directly lead the troops to completely kill you bastards!

The final result was still disappointing to Emperor Chongzhen.

After struggling for a long time, Mekhail finally chose to kneel - in the face of the death of the country, the choice of kneeling or not kneeling has become a very simple matter.

"Lower Bang...... Minister, Mekhail, have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

As soon as he said a word, Mekhail's eyes turned a little red.

Humiliation, I am afraid that there is no more serious humiliation than this - the dignified believers of the true God have to kneel to the pagan emperor under the pressure of reality!

Emperor Chongzhen yawned at this time, and said with some interest: "Just be even." ”

After Mekhail got up, Emperor Chongzhen simply stood up and said, "I'm tired, Li Chengyan, Lai Aiqing and Cheng Guogong will preside over this meeting." ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen simply left everyone in the big tent, including Mekhail, and went straight to rest - his son was whipped twenty times, and he was covered with wounds, and his heart hurt!

The civil and military ministers in the big tent naturally also understood that Emperor Chongzhen was originally a typical spoiled wife, and the queens and concubines in the palace were all pampered in the palm of their hands, how could they not be spoiled for their sons, especially the eldest son.

Now that the eldest prince has been whipped twenty lashes, although it is an order from Emperor Chongzhen himself, it must be distressing, how can he not go to see it.

As for throwing such an important negotiation to Li Chengyan, Lai Zongdao and Zhu Chunchen, the civil and military ministers in the big tent said that this was a normal operation.

The ruling of a barbarian is probably at the same level as the governors of the state capital in the Ming Dynasty, and if he dies, he is only at the same level as the governor, so he can let Lai Zongdao and Zhu Chunchen accompany him to negotiate, which is already very face-saving for him!

Although Makhail was dissatisfied, he was helpless - if he couldn't beat him, what else could he do?

After the other ministers also ran away, Li Chengyan laughed and said, "Come, come, come, Lord Mekhail, right?" Here, please, please be seated. Come on, serve tea! ”

When the tea was served, Li Chengyan picked up the tea and said to Mekhail: "All the conditions of my Ming Dynasty, presumably your country has also known, if you agree, we can sign the documents now, and the soldiers should return to their hometown as soon as possible."

As for the slight misunderstanding between you and me, it will be over in the past, and we will still have friends in the future. ”

Mekhail said: "As for the conditions demanded by your country, most of our lords have agreed to them, but some of the terms are really difficult for the strongman.

For example, if your country asks for compensation of 200,000 taels of military expenses, it will exhaust all the strength of our country, and it will not be able to come up with it for a while.

And the land that your country demands, you will directly cut off nearly a quarter of our country's land, and you are not afraid to hold on? ”

Li Chengyan smiled and said, "What, these conditions make your country difficult?"

In fact, these conditions can be discussed slowly, little by little, and sooner or later there will be a clause that satisfies both of you and me. ”

Seeing Mekhail nodding, Li Chengyan continued: "In addition, I would like to regret to inform Lord Mekhail that the conditions you know are the previous conditions, and the current conditions are different from the previous ones. ”

Mekhail said: "I don't know what has changed? ”

Li Chengyan put down the teacup in his hand, got up and walked to the huge map, stretched out his finger and said, "Lord Mekhail, please look here."

Originally, my request was to cede to me the land from Surat in the west, to Jelleswall in the east, and then from Jelleswall to the whole of Kuchbihar in the north.

After research, it was decided to simply start from Baroda in the west, leaving the rest of the country unchanged. ”

Mekhail stood up together: "You are blackmailing! Why don't you go and grab it!? ”

Li Chengyan said with a confused face: "Look, have a good negotiation, why are you in a hurry?" You must know that the anger hurts the body, in case the Lord Mekhail is angry, but how can this official explain to the lord of your country? ”

Mekhail's face flushed: "This official came to negotiate peace with your country with sincerity, but he did not come to suffer such humiliation from your country!" ”

As the ruling minister of the Mughals, Mekhail thought he was thick enough.

But compared to the young man opposite, he is as pure as those unmarried girls!

What were the conditions before? Cession of land?

You just say that the people who assassinated Shah Jahan were sent by you, and that everything was ordered by your emperor!

Li Chengyan sighed and said, "Okay, since Lord Mekhail has doubts about this point, then you might as well put it aside for now, and let's talk about a clause."

On the issue of compensation for military spending, the original set of 200,000 taels is no longer complete, but now it is 1 million taels. ”

Mekhail, who had just returned to his seat, stood up again: "I don't think there is any need for us to talk anymore, I, the Mughals, would rather fight to the death than accept such a fraud!" ”

Li Chengyan said: "How did it become a fraud? My Ming army is dispatched, and countless ammunition needs to be consumed every day, especially Ye Yang and others are on the battlefield in your court, and they can't even find their corpses in the capital, but how can this official explain to their families?

Ye Yang, plus seven brocade guards, plus the interpreter, is a total of nine people, just the pension silver of these nine people is as high as 90,000 taels, how can it be that it was originally only 200,000 taels?

What's more, before Lord Mekhail arrived here, my Ming South China Sea Fleet had already advanced to Ahmadnagar, and I am afraid that in a few more days, it can advance to Ahmedabad, and the ammunition and supplies that need to be consumed every day need to be transported from my Ming by sea ship, and how much is consumed every day? ”

Li Chengyan's shamelessness was obviously beyond Mekhail's expectations - directly named Ye Yang and these people, making it clear that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, and even if they killed your king, you would have to pay for their families!

I'm bullying you, what can you do? If you don't accept it, hit me!

Mehail, who had just wanted to flip the table, suddenly fell silent.

How could I not have known the name Ahmadnagar, which is just southwest of Mandu, where the port of Mumbai is a very good port and a very important place for taxation.

Further north through Mumbai is Surat, and a little further north is Gujarat.

Mekhail, who had a gloomy face, said: "One million taels of silver, I Mughal can't take it out, so it's better to change the conditions." ”

Li Chengyan smiled and said, "How is it possible? It's just a million taels of silver, I can get a million taels of silver by finding a rich family to raid the house, and the treasury of your country can't get a million taels of silver, who is bluffing? ”

……

Mekhail suddenly didn't know what to say, even if hundreds of thoughts turned in his heart in an instant.

You Daming is awesome, you can get a million taels of silver by copying a house, so can you go back to Daming to copy your home? What are you doing here?

Besides, is it necessary for Ben to lie to you?

The construction of Taj Mahala has not yet been completed, and when the construction is completed, I don't know how much silver will be thrown into it, and the treasury has been a net for two years in the past few years, where will the silver coins be paid to you!

Besides, just a few people, each with 10,000 taels of silver? And then add one plus casually and make up a million taels of silver?

Is there any reason for this?

Seeing that Mekhail was speechless and silent, Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Okay, the matter of this silver will be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it later."

So, what about the fact that the lord of your country is allowed to go to the emperor's name, and henceforth he is only allowed to be called king but not emperor? ”

After taking a deep breath, Mekhail said, "Yes! ”

There is no way for Mekhail to do it, and the other conditions cannot be negotiated at all now, and each condition is the same as the lion's big mouth, which is to cut the flesh from the Mughals alive.

Only this condition has some meaning that it doesn't hurt or itch.

It's just an emperor's honorific title, go and go, call the king the king, and wait until the Ming people withdraw from the army, what is it called behind closed doors and not happy with Daluo Xiqiao?

Seeing that Mekhail agreed to this condition, Li Chengyan continued: "Look, now we have reached a condition, right?"

Now, let's move on to the next one.

Those heroes within the borders of your country were the initiators of this war, and they should bear most of the responsibility, so hand them all over to me Daming, this condition is not too much, right? ”

No matter how dissatisfied he was, Mekhail still nodded and said: "Yes, my country can agree to this condition!" ”

The people who handed over these East India Company were not half of the psychological pressure on Mekhail.

After all, all the incidents were provoked by these people, and these people are also infidels, and if they are handed over to the Ming Dynasty, they can use their deaths in exchange for the Ming Dynasty to lower several other conditions, which can be regarded as their contribution to the true God!

The smile on Li Chengyan's face was even worse: "Look at it, there are four conditions in total, and now we have reached two, and we have already achieved half of the success, isn't it?"

Now, let's take a closer look at the remaining two conditions. ”

After changing his extremely enthusiastic face, Li Chengyan continued: "Actually, one million taels of silver, it's really not much, I don't lie to you."

Just like what the official said just now, it's more than a million taels to find a rich family to copy the house, if you don't believe it, you can try it after you go back, just find some dignitaries or something to copy a few, and get out a few million taels and play! ”

Mai Hail's face darkened even more - what an easy way to say, just find some dignitaries or something to copy a few?

These dignitaries are so easy to copy? Who doesn't have a family or friend anymore? Do you know who you have a relationship with whom?

When the time comes, it's nothing to copy one, and then a bunch of disgusting ones pop up, what should you do? Copied it all?

If it was replaced by Shah Jahan when he was alive, there would be no big problem in copying a batch like this, but if it was replaced by Daro Siqiao, he would be able to do it? Can he have the prestige to suppress all opposition?

Death does not bring such death!

The last time you Li Chengyan went to sea to negotiate with the Francois barbarian, the reward was 1 million taels or 100,000 taels? Is it okay to raid your house?

Li Chengyan saw that Mekhail had a gloomy face and did not speak, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "How? Was it reminded by the official? In fact, a million taels, there is really not much. ”

At this moment, not only did Maihail hurt his eggs, but even the faces of Lai Zongdao and Zhu Chunchen were not very good--this is not pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?

The civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the nobles, no one is simply on the ass, just grab one and come out, you can indeed copy a million 800,000 taels of silver, but the three of us are also among them, bastard!

After coughing, Mekhail said: "The people's livelihood is withering, the national strength is difficult, one million taels is huge, my country really can't take it out, why don't you change it?" ”

Shaking his head, Li Chengyan said: "This change, there is no way to change it, but this official can point out a clear path for the reference of the ruling lord." ”

Mekhail said: "If it's some kind of raiding the house, then forget it." ”

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Of course it's not a way to copy the family, since you said that you can't rely on this method, how can the official put it forward again."

What this official means is that the ruling lord can pledge your country's mines or something, or simply allow our merchants to come to your country to do business and use customs duties as security, so isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Mekhail nodded and said, "It would be a great thing if trade between our two countries had been established, and I could agree to this on behalf of my lord." ”

Li Chengyan picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Look, we have reached three of the four conditions, and some detailed issues, let's talk about them slowly, right?" ”

"Even so, it is impossible for your country to ask for the cession of that much land.

Once I agree to cede so much land, not to mention how I should explain it to my lord, I am my lord, and I can't explain it to the people of the world! ”

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "This official is not an unkind person, and he also understands the difficulties of the ruling lord.

In this way, I am willing to suffer a little loss of the ceded land, and if I have less, I will take the west from Vidal as the boundary, and the rest will remain unchanged.

But well, I have some other conditions. ”
