"Okay, there's a lot of content here, you can take it back and study it carefully, see if there is any need to negotiate, and then come back to me. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu De smiled slightly, and put on a posture of sending off guests.

Harvey and the others looked at the document and knew that they really needed to go back and study it carefully at this time, so they took the document and went back.

Back in the guest room, several people looked at the documents, the people of the Zheng family were considerate, although the original documents were in Chinese, but the Spanish translation had been added to them. It's just that the content of this is absolutely inconsiderate. Although Harvey knew that since Spain was defeated in the war, it would definitely suffer a little loss when it came to peace talks. Therefore, some very harsh conditions were put forward for the Zheng family, including Harvey, and several people were mentally prepared for this, but the harshness of this document still made Harvey feel unbearable.

"Well, these guys are asking for ......," Harvey was speechless, pointing to the first page of the document.

Borg hurriedly looked at the article pointed out by Harvey, and saw that it read: "Those responsible for the massacre of the Chinese in Spain, including Governor Aquila, and Bishop Alessandro must be severely punished......

"Oh, this one." Borg was not too surprised, "The country would have definitely punished Governor Aquila and Bishop Alexandro, after all, it led to a war between us and the Chinese, and more importantly, let us lose, can they still go unpunished?" Moreover, it does not say how they should be punished, let alone that they should deal with these people. So this one isn't really a big deal. In fact, it will not have much impact on Spain's interests. ”

"But do Governor Aquila and Bishop Alessandro agree?" Harvey asked.

"The two of them should have been aware of this when they lost the war. Moreover, how severe can the so-called severe punishment be? It's nothing more than the end of the political future of the two of them. Even without that, do you think they have any political future? "Borg's uncle was also an important nobleman, so many times he spoke without any scruples.

"It's not a big deal for me to say this one, and even the next few are not a big deal. In fact, these points were mentioned when they declared war on us. "All the wealth plundered from the Chinese must be returned to its rightful owner, and if the original owner or his rightful successor cannot be found, the wealth should be temporarily handed over to a guild of Chinese people." Well, here's another clause: the costs associated with this war, including...... The cost of room and board, medical treatment of the captives, should be paid by Spain. You see, this one is really ......," Borg couldn't help but shake his head.

"Indeed, although the existence of this article means that we have a much better chance of redeeming the prisoners, it may also mean that the other party actually understands our situation." Harvey also nodded and said, "These guys are very closely linked to those Dutch people, and they probably got this news from those Dutch people. If that's the case, they'll take the opportunity to slash us. ”

The two men continued to look down as they spoke, and then they saw something like this:

"In order to avoid the recurrence of similar tragedies, it is necessary for Spain to recognize the rights of the Chinese people:

1. The persons, residences, documents, and property of Chinese people shall not be unreasonably searched and seized, and shall not be infringed upon. To this end, the Ming could set up tribunes in Luzon and adjacent territories in Spain. Spain shall not charge any Chinese under its rule a higher tax than any other person in similar circumstances. The Spanish government and other institutions are not allowed to enter the homes and private land of Chinese people to conduct searches, and they are not allowed to seize Chinese documents and property without the permission of the Tribune Officials. In the search of Chinese people, their homes and private land, Spanish law enforcement officials must produce a written document issued by the Triator Yamen, which must indicate the scope of the search and the target of the search. No person or thing that is not within the scope of the document and is not the target of the search shall not be seized, restricted, or violated. The Spanish government and other institutions may not arbitrarily deprive the Chinese of their property, and any civil lawsuit against the Chinese, if the amount of which involves more than 50 Spanish silver coins, must be heard by an official of the Tribune Yamen, and if a fine and confiscation of property are required, the decision must be made with the written consent of the Daming Tribune.

2. The personal safety and personal freedom of the Chinese are sacred and inviolable, and any criminal or civil investigation against the Chinese shall not restrict their personal liberty for more than 24 hours without the consent of the Ming Dynasty Protector Yamen. It is forbidden at any time to torture Chinese to extract confessions, as well as similar physical or mental abuse, and any criminal proceedings against Chinese should be attended by officials of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Any sentence involving corporal punishment and the death penalty, and any restriction of personal liberty, must be approved in writing by the Ming Tribune, and Spain should also ensure that the Chinese whose freedom is restricted will not be subjected to any physical and mental abuse against them, and the Ming Tribune has the right to examine the situation of the Chinese in prison at any time, and if the Tribune determines that the Chinese have been ill-treated in prison, the imprisonment of the person shall be transferred to the Ming Dynasty.

Third, the right of the Chinese to possess weapons for self-defense cannot be denied. The Chinese have the right to build facilities on private land for their own safety.

Fourth, the Chinese have the right to freedom of assembly, association, speech and religion that cannot be denied. Spain may not enact any laws or policies aimed at depriving them of these rights or restricting their implementation. Any law or policy to the contrary shall be deemed null and void.

5. Soldiers are not allowed to be stationed in any Chinese residence in peacetime without the consent of the Chinese homeowner; Except with the permission of the Ming Dynasty's Baomin Official Yamen, it is not allowed to be stationed in wartime......"

"This ...... This...... Even a duke, a prince, can't have more privileges than this? Harvey couldn't help but say.

"This is tantamount to depriving us of any right to dispose of the Chinese under our rule." "You see, their private fiefdom was almost the fief of a medieval aristocracy. We shall not charge them any higher taxes than the Spaniards, and with this, with the ability of the Chinese to do business, and their industriousness, I am sure, they will soon become rich. And their private territories will expand with it, and it won't be long before we see the whole of the Philippines, full of land that the Spanish government and Spanish troops are not allowed to enter. Therefore, this article is really a certain restriction that must be placed on it. In addition, since the Chinese want to defend themselves, then Spain naturally does not have to be responsible for their defense. There's still a lot to be done here. In addition, this religious freedom, doesn't this mean that the Chinese can build pagan temples in their own territory? We must also talk to the Chinese about this article. In addition, there is the provision on the possession of weapons for self-defense, and there must be restrictions on the number and types of weapons used for self-defense. In short, the Chinese could not be allowed to gain more rights than the Spaniards in Luzon. Well, let's take a look at the following ones. Borg said.

"Look, it's coming. As in the last treaty they had with the Dutch, all business with China had to change hands through them. In this way, a lot of money is involved. These guys of the Zheng family are so greedy. Well, what, they also want to be able to get the right to mine in the areas under our control? These guys...... However, we can collect taxes for mining on our territory, right? That seems to be the ...... We don't have that many people to mine anyway......" Harvey said through gritted teeth.

……

Early the next morning, Harvey found Liu De and said that although some of the clauses in the memorandum were too harsh, the Spaniards were peace-loving, so for the sake of peace, they decided to talk to the Zheng family reluctantly.

"In that case, then please wait for three more days, and I will immediately arrange for someone to invite the major general back." Liu De replied.

"The Major General is not in the mansion?" Harvey asked.

"The major general has a lot of affairs, where can I always stay here." Liu De smiled proudly and said: "Recently, Beigang has completed a new battleship, and the major general has gone to preside over the commissioning ceremony of this battleship." So the gentleman has to wait another three days before he can do it. ”

"New warships?" Although he knew that Liu De was actually threatening himself by bringing up this topic at this time, Harvey couldn't help but ask, "What kind of battleship is worthy of the Major General personally presiding over her service ceremony?" ”

"Of course, it's the sister ship of the Endeavour." Liu De said, "In the future, we will continue to launch more such warships to protect peace in the South China Seas." ”

After saying this, Liu De stared at Harvey's eyes again, and after a long while, he said: "Mr. Harvey, just like Tessie is Tessie of the Tessie people, the East is the East of the East after all. We welcome friends who come to do business with us, but anyone who comes to the East should understand that the East has its own rules, and this is not the Americas. With us, a friend comes, and we have good wine to entertain him, but if anyone thinks they can do whatever they want as they did in the Incas, we have the same strong ships and guns here. ”
