Early the next morning, the peace talks began, and representatives from both sides lined up in two rows and entered the conference room.

On the side of the Triple Alliance, the leader is naturally Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan of the Ming Empire, followed by the host Spanish Admiral Okundo, and the Portuguese Prime Minister Serva is very consciously ranked third, followed by five translators.

Coincidentally, the leader of the anti-Habsburg coalition turned out to be Zheng Zhilong's old acquaintance, Gaston, Duke of Orleans of France.

Of course, the so-called acquaintance between them is not because of a good relationship, but because Zheng Zhilong once beat Gaston!

Gaston gritted his teeth, he really wanted to pounce and beat Zheng Zhilong, but he couldn't fight him alone, Zheng Zhilong beat him like this, it was not too easy; He couldn't find anyone because it was Spanish territory, and in the end he had to give up.

There are eight people on both sides, and on the side of the Triple Alliance, there are three representatives and five translators; On the other hand, on the side of the anti-Habsburg coalition, there were five representatives and three translators.

Of course, the translator does not sit in the front row, so in the end, the situation on both sides of the conference table is three against five, and the Triple Alliance seems to be a bit weak.

However, what kind of person is Zheng Zhilong, he can spray over the lord of the representatives of the five countries alone, plus the golden marshal uniform on his body, he sat directly in the middle, and immediately pressed the audience.

The negotiator on the other side was really afraid of him, Gaston needless to say, although he gritted his teeth on the surface, but he was still very afraid of Zheng Zhilong in his heart, that fat beating, the wrong point did not paralyze him directly, Zheng Zhilong beat people up and called him a ruthless, and he still has palpitations.

It's good to die, the Dutch negotiator is Speke, who was blackmailed by Zheng Zhilong for 20 million taels, and he is also afraid when he thinks of the bloody mouth that Zheng Zhilong opened when he asked for money.

The British negotiator, the Earl of Stratford, was better, because he had not dealt with Zheng Zhilong, and as for the Swedish and Danish negotiators, they were basically here to play soy sauce.

In other words, this Gaston is a wine bag and rice bag who does not know how to learn, how can the anti-Habsburg coalition let him preside over the peace talks?

Gaston's virtue is naturally unknown to anyone, but this time the anti-Habsburg coalition is the side of the peace suit, and the person who presides over the peace talks is destined to be deflated, and even will leave an infamy, as long as the person who understands this errand will not take it, in the end, only let Gaston be stupid to carry this pot.

As soon as the two sides sat down, he could not wait to say: "On behalf of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, I strongly protest against your occupation of Calais, Dover and Batavia and the blockade of the Strait of Dover, and I ask you to return Calais, Dover and Batavia immediately and unconditionally, lift the blockade of the Strait of Dover, and release all seized personnel, materials and ships." “

Zheng Zhilong glanced at him disdainfully, slowly sorted out the straight marshal's uniform, and then said lightly: "Please pay attention to your wording, Batavia was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Calais was originally the territory of the Habsburgs. Dover may consider returning it to you, but you must first return the Spanish possessions in the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands; As for the ships and goods we have captured, why should we return them, they are our trophies, as for all the prisoners, you can consider releasing them, but you must compensate the Ming Empire, Spain and Portugal for a total of 100 million taels of silver to make up for the losses caused by the war, otherwise, don't talk about it! “

When Gaston heard this, his lungs were about to explode, and he was directly angry: "You pirate, why don't you rob it, 100 million taels of silver, it's a loss for what you said!" “

The so-called 'asking for a price to sit on the ground and pay back', if you are not satisfied, you can talk about it, this idiot, after the defeat of the war, is still so arrogant, do you know what peace talks are?

Zheng Zhilong directly reprimanded angrily: "You idiot, do you understand etiquette? You are humiliating a prince of the Ming Empire, you know? “

Etiquette, you're embarrassed to talk to me about etiquette, why didn't you say etiquette when you started beating someone? Gaston really wanted to immediately pounce on Zheng Zhilong and choke Zheng Zhilong's neck and strangle this bastard to death.

Fortunately, although Gaston did not understand peace talks, the other negotiators on the side of the anti-Habsburg coalition still knew how to negotiate peace, seeing that this thing looked like he was about to lift the table and beat people, Speke on the side hurriedly pressed his shoulder, and said to Zheng Zhilong apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Nikolai, His Highness Gaston may have drunk too much last night, but your request is indeed a bit excessive, the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands are now the territory of our United Provincial States, and there is no such thing as returning." “

Zheng Zhilong rolled his eyes and said lightly: "If the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands can't do it, you can still consider ceding other places, if you really don't want to cede the land, can you still use money to compensate, and it doesn't need too much, just pay one or two hundred million more, and our request is not too much, what is this idiot excited about?" “

When the other representatives of the anti-Habsburg coalition heard this, they collectively rolled their eyes, this is not too much, what is called excessive, as soon as they open their mouths, it is hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and there is really silver to pick up!

However, fortunately, these people are not Gaston's kind of unlearned and unskilled people, they all know that it is not okay to pay a little price as the defeated side, but these two or three hundred million taels are indeed a bit too exaggerated, and finally, after several days of difficult negotiations, the two sides finally signed the "Dunkirk Armistice Agreement", according to the agreement:

England and France paid Spain 25 million taels respectively for the redemption of the ports of Dover and Calais;

The Netherlands paid 30 million taels to the Ming Empire to redeem 100,000 captives in Batavia;

Sweden and Denmark paid Portugal five million taels each to Portugal to compensate for the losses of the war;

In this way, the total is 90 million taels, but in addition to returning Dover and Calais and releasing all the prisoners, the two sides still have not negotiated other things, so they can only talk with their fists in the future.

After receiving the money, Spain and Portugal demolished all the forts and forts in Dover and Calais, returned the two ports to Britain and France, and lifted the blockade of the Strait of Dover, and the Ming Empire promised to return all captives to the continent within three months.

A peace negotiation ended like this, the representatives of both sides went back to their respective homes, and Zheng Zhilong ran back with 30 million taels of compensation to ask for credit.

It seems that the crisis in the Strait of Dover has been resolved, and Spain no longer threatens the strength of the anti-Habsburg alliance in the Nordic waters, but after all the batteries and forts in Dover and Calais were demolished, those guns were not destroyed, and all were transported to Dunkirk for loading!

The rebuilt Dunkirk has become a hedgehog-like artillery fortress, and if necessary, Spain can use Dunkirk as a base to make waves in the Nordic seas again.

Of course, the anti-Habsburg coalition is not vegetarian, they are just temporarily forbearing, although this time the loss is huge, but it is not enough to crush their fighting spirit, the battle is far from over!
