The Six-Nation Alliance is very likely to attack the Ming army, and Lu Xiangsheng is not afraid at all, but such a big matter must be reported to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will receive the news after the fight really starts, then he will be suspected of bullying the king.

Unexpectedly, he reported that something had happened, and the emperor was furious because of this!

Why is Zhu Cijiong angry? Because he remembered the fact that the great powers united to bully the Manchus in later history, it was a great shame, after the great powers united to defeat the Manchus, they also robbed things, occupied land, and did all kinds of bad things, and demanded compensation from the Manchus, and the total amount of compensation was 500 million taels that scared people to death!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty definitely couldn't take out so much money for a while, and in the end, it became an installment payment, and the principal and interest reached a terrifying one billion taels!

To tell the truth, this world is originally a world of the jungle, if it is purely the jungle, it is not too hateful, what is hateful is that people have to lose money after eating and robbing, and what is even more hateful is that it is not a great power, but a bunch of powerful countries running over to bully the weak!

Now, the great powers have played the trick of the alliance with the Ming Dynasty again, Zhu Cijiong is completely angry, and he directly gave Lu Xiangsheng an order: Prepare for war!

At the same time, he also ordered the military headquarters to immediately send ammunition to the Osan front, and ordered all the immediate military factories to work overtime to produce ammunition and prepare for a great war!

In the end, he also sent a secret report to Zheng Zhilong, the amount of compensation will be increased again, all the powers who come to negotiate don't want to run, they all have to lose money, if they don't lose money, they will go to war!

Now the foot of Wushan is more lively, preparing for war is not a word, but needs actual action, the most important thing is to find out the terrain in front and the deployment of the enemy's troops, so, the Ming army that was originally assembled and resting began to move again, countless scouts and cavalry through Wushan into the European continent, this posture, is really ready to go to war!

As soon as the Ming army moved, Rozov and the representatives of the negotiations with various countries were really shocked, where did they want to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, they wanted to scare the Ming Empire and let them not continue to attack the European continent.

If the Ming Empire is a rich and weak country, then the powers will not say hello at all, and they will directly rush to it, the problem is that the current Ming Empire is a number of powerful countries in the world, especially in the army of the Ming Empire, it is even more ridiculously strong, invincible in the world, who wants to fight with them!

So the hapless Kopelov was sent over again, but this time he was no longer ordered to threaten the Ming Dynasty, but was ordered to ask the Ming Empire to open peace talks.

The ups and downs of this life are too fast, it's too exciting, last time he was still arrogant, he couldn't live forever, this time he had to keep his voice down, accompany him carefully, he was already a big fool, all kinds of face changes came to come, otherwise he would not be able to do the work of this peace talk messenger.

Hearing that Koperov is here again, Lu Xiangsheng immediately met him in the old place, and all the etiquette was done in all aspects, of course, this is not to say that Lu Xiangsheng is afraid of anyone, this is all explained by the emperor, whether it is war or peace, this traditional etiquette cannot be lost.

The Ming Dynasty was originally a state of etiquette, this fine tradition to maintain, what arrogance, lawlessness, that can only get a momentary pleasure, is extremely unfavorable to the future diplomacy, the exchange between countries is not a year or two, or ten or eight years, it may last for decades, or even hundreds of years, just imagine who wants to deal with a very unreasonable country?

Of course, etiquette is etiquette, and when you should use your fists to speak, you still have to use your fists to speak, and if you don't scold or fight back, that's another extreme, and it's not advisable.

Koperov came to beg for help this time, so he was very humble, and the first thing he said when he saw Lu Xiangsheng was: "I'm sorry, Generalissimo Lu, I was too excited last time and offended you, please forgive me." “

Lu Xiangsheng is not a person with a small belly, so he naturally won't always take this little thing to heart, he said generously: "Well, just pay attention to it in the future, let's get down to business, I don't know what His Excellency the Admiral is here this time." “

Kopelov really didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to be so easy to speak, he had the impression that Lu Xiangsheng was obviously a very difficult person to talk to, why did he suddenly become good at talking again?

Actually, it depends on whether Lu Xiangsheng is good or not, you have to keep your voice down, he will never bully you; If you want to talk about peace talks, he will only perfunctory you; If you threaten him, then I'm sorry, he has absolutely nothing to say.

In short, for Koperov, Lu Xiangsheng should be very difficult to speak, but this attitude is really irrelevant, and Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to worry about him.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's tone had softened, Koperov hurriedly said euphemistically: "Your Excellency Generalissimo, after consultations, the six countries of our alliance have unanimously agreed that it is better to settle this dispute through peace talks, so I also ask your country to send representatives of peace talks to our imperial capital to discuss with the representatives of various countries how to resolve this dispute." “

This means that peace talks are going on, Lu Xiangsheng understands it, but he is not responsible for peace talks, he is only responsible for fighting, and the will he received at this time is to prepare for war.

Therefore, he said directly: "I'm sorry, I am not responsible for the peace talks, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire has sent a representative of the peace talks, and he will arrive here soon, so you will be talking to him at that time." “

asked him to wait again, Koperov was already afraid of this word, and Cao Wenzhao also asked him to wait last time, but Lu Xiangsheng had not informed him when Cao Wenzhao arrived, this time he couldn't go back in such a daze.

He thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "When will your country's peace negotiators arrive?" “

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng knew when Zheng Zhilong would arrive, but he pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know this very well, let's talk about it then." “

How can this be done, when is the time? Don't start fighting when the time comes, they don't know what's going on yet!

Koperov simply lowered his heart and gritted his teeth: "If I can, please allow me to stay here and wait for the peace talks representative of your country." “

This is not good, Lu Xiangsheng is preparing for war at this time, how can he leave such a spy here, he simply sent away: "In this way, ten days later, no matter whether the peace envoy of our Ming Empire comes or not, I will send someone to inform you, you go back first." “

In this way, Koperov was driven back again.

Did Zheng Zhilong arrive ten days later, of course not, in fact, Zheng Zhilong arrived on the fifth day after Kopelov went back.

The main Lu Xiangsheng didn't know whether the emperor wanted to fight or negotiate peace, so he wanted to wait for Zheng Zhilong to come and ask the emperor what he meant.

It just so happened that Zheng Zhilong also had something to ask Zhu Cijiong for instructions, so as soon as he came over, the first thing he did was to send a request to the emperor who was far away in the capital through a special line, asking the emperor to show how to talk about this peace talk.

Zhu Cijiong happened to be waiting for Zheng Zhilong to arrive, so soon the palace in the capital called back: What's the problem, say.

The first thing Zheng Zhilong wanted to confirm was how much the minimum requirement for compensation was, but Zhu Cijiong gave him a frightening number.

Subsequently, he asked for instructions on how to determine the boundary, and Zhu Cijiong replied directly: It will be determined according to what was originally said.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong asked again: What if they don't agree?

Zhu Cijiong replied directly: Prepare for war, if you don't accept it, you will do it!
