Chapter 378: Amazon

Chapter 378

"Surrender is impossible, and if you came today for this, you can go back now." Yang Xiaoshan said coldly, without a trace of hesitation.

"Don't, don't, there's something to discuss." Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down, Jose knew that he could not scare these Chinese, and he did not dare to hold the shelf, but he still said stiffly: "You are just lucky to win a small victory, and our Peruvian army is not only a few thousand people." ”

When Yang Xiaoshan heard this, he laughed, stepped forward and pointed at Jose and said: "How can the general of the defeated army be brave, you think that we are a lucky victory, you might as well send tens of thousands of troops to try, and my Taiping army will be wiped out for you." ”

"Great, Dongwang is right!" The generals next to him wrapped up one after another, scoffing at José's words.

Jose's face was red for a while, and he was overwhelmed by the heroism of the soldiers of the Taiping Army, and turned his face to Di Mari with a disgraced face: "You are familiar with this group of Chinese, you can help me persuade." ”

Di Mari secretly scolded his mother in his heart: "Your government officials can't say anything, what do I say about a small citizen." But he didn't dare to disobey José's intentions, so he stubbornly said with a smile: "Chinese brothers, don't be reckless, it's better to surrender, I have three million Peruvian citizens, and you only have more than 1,000。。。。。。。 ”

"Shut your dog's mouth!" Li Shixian interrupted Di Mali without waiting for him to finish, "You still have the fucking courage to come back." ”

Li Shixian grabbed Di Mali by the collar and lifted him up.

"Help, Secretary-General." Di Mari was so frightened by the vicious Li Shixian that his soul flew away, and he hurriedly asked Jose for help.

"Mr. Yang Xiaoshan, Di Mali is an interpreter invited by our government, you can't treat him like this." Jose was also anxious, he was afraid that the Taiping Army would treat him like this.

"Shixian, you let him go first." Yang Xiaoshan waved his hand at Li Shixian, and said coldly to Jose: "Di Mali has some personal grudges with our Taiping Army, so I'm sorry, we want this person." Whatever the outcome of today's negotiations, he must stay here and let us deal with it. ”

"Old Wu, translate this sentence to Mr. Jose." Yang Xiaoshan didn't even look at Di Mali, and turned his head to Lao Wu. Although Yang Xiaoshan's Spanish has improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of Lao Wu and Weng Derong during this time, there is still a little distance from being able to communicate fluently.

Di Mari was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees all at once, lowered his head, and begged, "My lord, spare me." ”

"Take him down and settle the account when the talks are over." Yang Xiaoshan turned his face away and didn't look at Di Mali at all.

The two knife players, one on the left and one on the right, took Di Mari out like a chicken.

"Actually, today the contemptible people are here for peace." Jose saw that Di Mali was taken away and hurriedly said.

"Peace? What kind of peace law? Yang Xiaoshan snorted coldly.

"As long as you don't make trouble, hand over your weapons, and move to the next door in the Amazonas, on behalf of the Peruvian government, I promise not to send troops to encircle and suppress you." Seeing that there was no hope of surrender, Jose retreated. However, as long as he can stabilize this group of Chinese, his goal will be achieved.

"We're not afraid of your encirclement, we'll take as many as you want." Yang Xiaoshan said loudly, although the Taiping Army does need a period of peaceful development now, Jose's condition is still too harsh for the Taiping Army.

"We will give each person a settling-in allowance of 50 pesos and a tax-free allowance of 50 pesos." Jose quickly explained.

"You're going to be so kind and give us back the money? It's not going to lie to us, let's play a trick on us. Bao Chao stood up and expressed the doubts in Yang Xiaoshan's heart.

"No, no, this policy was enacted 10 years ago, and not only you, but everyone in Peru enjoys this policy." Jose hurriedly explained, "Don't believe me, you see, I still have government documents here. ”

"Old Wu, take a look." Yang Xiaoshan motioned for Lao Wu to take the official document.

Wu Ruxiao took the official document from Jose's hand, flipped through it carefully, leaned into Yang Xiaoshan's ear and said: "The logic of this official document is tight, organized, and it doesn't look like it was made temporarily. To be on the safe side, ask Lushuai Weng again, he has been here for a long time, to see if he has heard about it. ”

Yang Xiaoshan nodded and ordered the guards to invite Weng Derong.

Weng Derong got Yang Xiaoshan's order, put down the work in his hand and hurried over.

"My subordinates have heard of it, but even if there is such a subsidy discount, few people go. The Amazon jungle is complex and inaccessible, and the Peruvian government has little control over it. Weng Derong replied.

This José is not deceiving, Peru's population is mostly concentrated in the coastal areas, and the highland mountains in the center are very small if not for the discovery of minerals, let alone the inland Amazon jungle, which is inaccessible. In order to enable the government to effectively control the country, Peru has issued a series of preferential policies to encourage citizens to migrate to the province of Amazonas, but unfortunately it has had little effect.

Jose came to negotiate with the Chinese behind his back on Congress, and it was impossible to use government money to make deals with the Taiping Army. He also racked his brains to come up with such a final solution, using the existing policy to persuade the Chinese to go to Amazonas, so that the errand given to him by the president would be completed.

Yang Xiaoshan was silent, since the Taiping army successfully rioted in the mines, it has been fighting against the Peruvian army in the mountains, and it is indeed very much in need of a respite to develop and grow, but the Amazon jungle is not an ideal place for development, but at the moment, this icy plateau and mountainous area are even worse.

Yang Xiaoshan was quite entangled in his heart.

"What kind of tax exemption did you just say, we are not you Peruvians, what kind of labor tax do you pay?" Wu Ruxiao listened carefully, and the taxes and the like happened to be related to his old business, so he paid special attention to it.

"This can be replaced by equivalent potatoes and bread and other foods, as well as tools for reclamation, except for weapons." Jose wished that the Chinese plague gods would hurry up, as long as he could agree to everything under his authority.

"We can't hand over the weapons, and handing them over doesn't mean disarming them for you to slaughter." Lee remembered José's condition that they hand over their weapons.

"Yes, weapons can't be handed over." The generals exchanged their heads and said how to fight and defend themselves after they had no weapons.

"By weapons I mean muskets imported from France by our Ninth Division." Jose saw that the Taiping army seemed to have turned their faces, and quickly narrowed down the range of weapons.

"That's not going to happen! We seized it by virtue of our ability, so why should we return it to you! Everyone shook their heads again and again, and everyone knew that the newly captured musket was good, and they were reluctant to return the baby pimple in their hands.

"Don't mention this one, we won't agree to it." Yang Xiaoshan waved his hand.

"I'll come back some, otherwise I won't be able to explain how to show your sincerity for peace." José pleaded.

"That's your business! It has nothing to do with us. "Yang Xiaoshan cut the railway.

"Well, we can redeem it, ten pesos a gun, how about it? That's basically the price of a new gun. Give me a little bit and let me go back for a good deal. "Jose is completely helpless, seeing that the attitude of the Taiping Army has been loosened, it would be a pity if he messed up on this issue.

"Any kind of gun?" Yang Xiaoshan tilted his head, and a thought flashed through him. Negotiation is when you put forward terms to each other, and seeing that Jose is about to be forced out of his underwear, he has to be flexible.

"As long as it's from the Ninth Division." Jose bit down.

"Okay, you can prepare more money tomorrow for people to ransom." Yang Xiaoshan nodded.

"East King?" Li Shixian looked at Yang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

Yang Xiaoshan smiled slightly, as if to say when did I ever trade at a loss?

The actual situation is that Yang Xiaoshan remembered those waste guns that were soaked in sludge and water and could not be repaired, and it happened that the waste was used to pay Jose, and he could make more money.

"And you accepted our conditions today?" José wiped the sweat from his head, and even though it was cold, he was still nervous in a cold sweat.

"Yes, but we have to mention an additional condition." Yang Xiaoshan said suddenly.

Jose's heart suddenly rose up and down, and he didn't know what this East King would say.

"That Di Mari just stay with us, we have some old things to talk to him about." Yang Xiaoshan said slowly.

Jose paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "I don't know about this matter, Di Mari disappeared on the way down the mountain. At this time, José completely sold Di Mali, and compared to state affairs, the weight of a nobleman's servant is too small.

"Okay, send the secretary general down the mountain, and all the handover affairs will be fully responsible for Gu Wang Wu Ruxiao." Yang Xiaoshan finally clapped his head.
