After Zheng Zhilong received the emperor's holy edict, his heart was much more steady, the emperor's meaning was obvious, if Tsarist Russia and even the great powers did not cede land and did not pay compensation, then they would fight until they were served!

It turned out that he was worried that it would be difficult for the peace talks to achieve the expected results, because the amount of compensation demanded by the emperor was too high, so high that he, a master of money blackmail, who was accustomed to the lion's mouth, was frightened, and he estimated that the great powers would most likely not agree, and he would not be able to explain to the emperor at that time.

Okay now, if you don't agree, I'll you, see if you agree!

Zheng Zhilong felt that his face was also red, his neck was thick, and he was very energetic when he spoke, with this confidence, what else was he worried about, if you don't lose money, Lao Tzu will beat you, see if you lose money.

Of course, he still hopes that the flickering powers will lose money, the emperor called him to come to let him come with money, if he really wants to fight, then there is no need to let him come over, just let Lu Xiang ascend, anyway, it is a fight, what is there to say.

It is not so easy to ask the great powers to lose money, especially the amount of money that the emperor made people lose this time is not a small amount, although Zheng Zhilong has rich experience in making money, he does not dare to take it lightly.

This negotiation is an art, it does not mean that both parties can sit down and move their lips, many times it is the most secondary, mainly depends on whether you are strong enough.

Strong is not something that is said with the mouth, it must be put out for others to see, in layman's terms, it is pretending to be forced, and the literary point is the battle of the heart.

How to make the great powers feel the strength of the Ming Dynasty?

First of all, it is natural to let them see how many men and horses have come from the Ming Dynasty, and there are already 800,000 Ming troops gathered at the foot of this Wushan Mountain, which is logically scary enough, but Zheng Zhilong is absolutely not enough!

Zheng Zhilong estimated that if the great powers really launched a ruthless attack, it should not be a problem to gather a million overall situation, and the 800,000 Ming army was not enough to scare the great powers to lose money honestly, and it was almost doubled.

What to do? Do you want to ask the emperor for help, and let the emperor send another 800,000 horses over to cooperate with him to pretend to be forced?

This is naturally impossible, and pretending to be forced does not necessarily mean that all the men and horses must be transferred, as long as the legion commander is called over, it is generally believed that the legion commander is here, then his legion must be around here.

Who are the Legion Commanders nearby now? Mao Wenlong counts one, Qin Gongming counts one, and Yang Geng, Chen Hui, and Zheng Ming are also army commanders, these are actually all able to participate in the war, but they are not completely fooling people, it's just that they are not here, the powers don't know, and if you want to pretend to be forced, you naturally have to let them know and know.

The only ones who were nearby and did not participate in this battle were Shi Kefa, the commander of the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard, and Huang Degong, the commander of the Western Regions Legion, the other roads were too far away, and they couldn't be called if they wanted to, and the emperor wouldn't allow him to mess around like this, a legion commander has 100,000 horses to manage, wouldn't it be ridiculous to run all of them to accompany you and pretend to be forced!

In this way, there are a total of fifteen army commanders and an army of 1.5 million, which should be enough to scare the powers into peeing their pants.

The next thing is to show the weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire to the powers, this is easy to do, the Ming army is not short of weapons and equipment, but when it is not time to fight, it is rarely scary.

How and where to place this weapon and equipment is also a matter of knowledge.

Now Wushan City is also beginning to take shape, the outer city wall has been completed, and the roads in the city have been almost repaired, but there are still very few buildings, and a place similar to the governor's palace yamen is being built in the middle, and the rest of the city is basically a sea of tents, and there are no buildings.

The newly built Yamen of the Governor's Mansion was the negotiation location set by Zheng Zhilong, and he directly asked Lu Xiangsheng to put all the armored combat vehicles and Shenwei cannons all the way, all the way from the main gate of the west to the Yamen of the Governor's Palace, and then asked the commanders of each army to move all the artillery out and line up directly behind the armored combat vehicles and Shenwei cannons.

In this way, as soon as the negotiators of the great powers entered the city, they could see a forest of artillery, and the timid ones would be afraid that their hands and feet would become weak, and they would not be able to walk!

In the end, it is necessary to show the great powers the determination of the Ming Empire to attack the European continent, and this cannot be said by mouth, there must be something to see.

For example, a combat map was hung on the wall of the negotiation room, and all the countries of the European continent were drawn with arrows;

Another example is to pile up ammunition outside, pile up a few mountains and let the powers see that the Ming is fully prepared;

Another example is to repair the road from Osan City to the European continent, widen it, and make it look convenient for the army to pass through, and so on.

In short, Zheng Zhilong has a lot of ghost ideas, and Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, Lu Xiangsheng really didn't know, there were so many things to prepare for a negotiation.

When they were almost ready, and the ten-day time agreed with Kopelov, the envoy of the peace talks with Tsarist Russia, had arrived, Lu Xiangsheng directly sent a translator according to Zheng Zhilong's meaning, and went to the nearest fortress of Tsarist Russia to inform him: The negotiators of the Ming Empire have arrived, and if they want to negotiate peace, they will immediately come to Wushan City to talk, and if they don't want to talk, forget it.

This is actually part of the offensive war, which is a hint that the anti-Habsburg powers, the Ming Empire does not think much about peace talks, but tends to fight!

Sure enough, this simple move startled the powers, and on the third day, Tsarist Russia sent someone to hurriedly inform them that the representatives of the peace talks of various countries were already on the way, please wait for two days.

You must know that Wushan is not close to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, even if you are fast and run day and night, it will take at least two days and two nights to go back and forth, and Tsarist Russia can reply so quickly, which is enough to prove that they are really scared, for fear that if they are sluggish, the Ming army will rush over desperately!

Zheng Zhilong was sitting leisurely in the Governor's Mansion of Wushan City for a long time, but the negotiators of the great powers were desperately rushing to this side in a carriage, and the bones were about to be scattered.

Two days later, the negotiators of the great powers arrived on time, and the group plus the interpreter was less than twenty people in total, they were very single, they didn't bring a single guard, they ran over with their bare butts, anyway, there were not as many people as the Ming Empire, so it was better not to bring them.

The reputation of the Ming Empire is still very good, and the envoys of the enemy countries are treated with courtesy, so they don't have to worry about security at all.

However, they chuckled in their hearts before they arrived at Wushan City, because halfway through the road, they found that the road leading to Wushan City had been widened by the Ming army, which must be to facilitate the passage of the army, and it seemed that the Ming Empire really wanted to fight!

As soon as they arrived in Wushan City, they were startled by the majestic city wall, this Ming Empire is really terrifying, such a city wall that can't be seen at a glance can be built in such a little time, do you want to be so fast!

As soon as they entered the city gate, they were even more frightened and their collective legs and stomachs trembled, the weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire were too exaggerated, both sides of the road were full of steel monsters and scary artillery, and there were all kinds of artillery that were dense like a forest, and even faintly visible in the distance The cannonballs and powder kegs were piled up in the mountains, endlessly, and there was no edge in sight!

When they entered the negotiation room, their faces were even more frightened, and the opposite side was all black Chongzheng clothes, the middle four were generals in marshal uniforms, and the twelve on the left and right were all with the rank of general, how many troops did the Ming Empire transfer!

At this time, someone finally saw the map on the wall, and soon, all the negotiators were hinted at a few times, and this time it really almost scared some people to pee their pants.

It was a combat map, and the main body of the map was the European continent, a large number of dense arrows pointed directly at the European continent countries from the Osan Mountains, and the meaning was obvious, the Ming Empire was planning to fight with all the powers!
