Since Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong could not be cut off, Wang Yan could only force them farther away, they were far away, and naturally they could not collude with the people in the country, and as their influence moved away, the people in the country would slowly forget them.

After all, King Lu is a rebellion, it is a big crime, if he is not demoted to a concubine, the court is already very faceless, from the prince to the county king, it is a punishment, and the court can look better on the face.

As for changing to the king of Luzon, this is to completely cut off Zhu Yihai's ambitions, Luzon is a country that has existed for a long time, Wang Yan asked him to be the king of Luzon, although it is a vassal, but it is a foreign country.

After becoming the king of Luzon, even if Zhu Yihai has the blood of the Zhu family, he cannot be regarded as a person of the Ming Dynasty, so he is deprived of the right to inherit the Ming Dynasty in legal theory, and becomes an outsider, just like the monarchs of North Korea and the three states of Annam, he can only be a minister of the Ming Dynasty and has no right to participate in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Lu can stand up, play the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and call on the world to overthrow Wang Yan, but the king of Luzon is not good at playing this banner, he has become the lord of the state, and no one will pay attention to the banner.

Moreover, leaving only Luzon is to let Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Yihai squeeze together, so that the two can contain each other.

After all, these two people do not belong to the same force, and the reason why they are united now is because both parties have failed, and they can only huddle together for warmth, once the threat is lifted, both of them are in Luzon, one is the master, the other is the minister, and both have forces, so whoever says it, there will inevitably be a dispute, and the two can contain each other.

Wang Yan came up with so much, it can be said that he tried his best.

The conditions put forward by King Lu and Zheng Chenggong were that King Lu wanted Zhoushan and Taidao, and Zheng Chenggong wanted Jinxia and Luzon, but now, Zhoushan and Jinxia still have Taidao, so they didn't give it directly, and they also demoted the title of King Lu and wanted to seal him to Luzon, and King Lu and Zheng Chenggong were not happy.

Going to sea was originally to reduce the influence of King Lu, he was the prince of Ming, and he wanted to be the king of Luzon, but King Lu naturally did not agree.

For Zheng Chenggong, without Jin Xia, Wang Yan still wants to insert King Lu into Luzon, and he naturally disagrees.

"How is it possible for Luzon to raise 60,000 sailors? This is clearly exile! ”

If they agree to Wang Yan's conditions, they will have no Han land in their hands, and King Lu will have a rough nose.

Zheng Chenggong's face also sank, Wang Yan was still intimate with him just now, but when the conditions were offered, he was ruthless at all, and he cut more than half of it with one knife, his heart was extremely black, and his true nature was revealed.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Zhoushan, Jinxia and Taidao, even if the court doesn't give it to us, we can control it, His Royal Highness said such a condition, do you think we can accept it?" Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Zheng Chenggong was still a little suppressed emotionally, but King Lu said more directly, "We don't need to talk about such conditions at all!" ”

In the eyes of the two, these are the places they can control, the basis of negotiations, and Wang Yan should increase the price on this basis, rather than cutting off more than half.

In the face of the unhappiness of the two, Wang Yan's mood changed, and he suddenly looked at the two of them coldly, "What do you want Zhoushan, Taidao, and Jinxia to do?" Are you unwilling to fail, or do you want to counterattack one day? ”

King Lu and Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but be stunned, their faces were stunned for a while, they wanted these places, more to save some strength, they were indeed unwilling in their hearts, but they didn't want to counterattack.

These can be regarded as Han land, they always have to occupy a piece in order to maintain close contact with the Central Plains, once there is no piece, then they are really marginalized, become the outcast of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yan's question, the two of them couldn't answer, Wang Yan would not give them a chance to counterattack, they took these places, it was a sign that this battle was not over yet, and the two of them had to force it farther away and keep a safe distance from Daming.

Wang Yan looked at the two of them, stared at Zheng Chenggong and said, "Success is good!" You can occupy these places now, and form a separation, but the lonely king wants to say that as long as you occupy these places, it means that there are still ambitions, and the lonely king and the court will feel that the poisonous snake is on the side, and this battle will continue. ”

"Yes, you now have a great advantage in terms of sailors, and you may be able to take advantage of some advantages at sea, but you don't forget that you are not facing the Lone King, but the powerful Ming Dynasty, as long as the court is determined to invest, the Lone King believes that within five years, the court will be able to create a sailor who can defeat you at sea!"

Wang Yan's body exuded a domineering spirit, this is his true face, which made Zheng Chenggong a little frightened, he stared at the two of them, and said word by word: "Whether to occupy these places and continue to fight against the imperial court, and finally be defeated, or go away to Luzon and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, from now on do not ask about the Central Plains, you choose for yourself!" ”

Since Zheng Chenggong was unwilling to accept his conditions, to serve in Nanjing, and was unwilling to give up the foundation of the Zheng family, Wang Yan also showed his attitude that they had to go to Luzon, give up everything in the Central Plains, and completely break off the mind of returning to the Central Plains in order to exchange for long-term peace.

King Lu's face sank, do you want to continue fighting? He didn't know much in his heart.

Zheng Chenggong has no intention of continuing to fight, Wang Yan means that as long as they occupy these places, the court will not be at ease, and they will continue to fight, he just wants to save the interests of the Zheng family, so he doesn't want to fight anymore, "Your Highness, the situation in Luzon, you may not know, there are less than 20,000 Han people there, so many of us have passed, and even eating is a problem, Your Highness is forcing us to be a coward!" ”

Wang Yan is right about one thing, they have failed, and if they continue to fight, they will face the entire Ming Dynasty, even if they gain an advantage in a short period of time at sea, in the long run, they will definitely not be the opponents of the imperial court, with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, they will inevitably be exterminated by the imperial court within ten years.

One is a short-term pleasure and then a rapid demise, and the other is a long-term stability, but the early stage requires arduous development, Wang Yan gave them two paths to choose.

Zheng Chenggong chose the latter, but he couldn't be too miserable in the early stage, he needed Wang Yan to increase the conditions.

It is not easy for King Lu to give up the idea of returning to the Central Plains, but the Zheng family is different, they were originally a group of pirate merchants, and going to sea is not a big deal for them, and they are not as attached to the inland as King Lu.

Listening to Zheng Chenggong's words, King Lu immediately exclaimed, "Success ······"

Wang Yan immediately said: "The finances that belong to the Zheng family can be taken away if you succeed." Those who are willing to follow you can also be taken away by their families. As for the grain in the early stage, the Spaniards successfully captured more than 2 million taels of silver in Luzon, and there is no shortage of silver, as long as you accept the conditions of the imperial court, the Lone King allows you to send caravans to trade in the Ming Dynasty, and in terms of tariffs, you will be given certain concessions! ”

Tens of thousands of sailors forced Luzon, and if there was no food or drink, they would definitely have to plunder the coast, which was exactly what Wang Yan did not want to see. He paused for a moment and continued: "There are many natives in Luzon, but there is a lack of education, you only spend some silver, seeds, ploughing cattle, and iron tools, you can come to Guangnan to buy, the imperial court will exile criminals in the future, you can consider Luzon first, and use it to increase the population of Luzon, what do you think of such conditions?" ”

Zheng Chenggong was silent for a while, he was able to take away the Zheng family's assets and deployment in Fujian, and the imperial court provided him with seeds to cultivate cattle, although it was in exchange for silver, but there was no problem in taking root in Luzon. In addition, it can trade in Daming, and with preferential taxes, the Zheng family fleet can continue to do transit business, and the financial resources are also guaranteed, the only disadvantage is that population and development require a lot of energy.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Lu is the King of Luzon, what are we? And what His Royal Highness is going to do with His Royal Highness King Tang! Zheng Chenggong has obviously accepted it.

Wang Yan smiled, glanced at King Lu, and said coldly: "King Tang wants to murder King Gu, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Zongren Mansion are already on trial, at least they are demoted to concubines and placed under house arrest. As for the identity of success, it depends on how the King of Luzon arranges! ”

Seeing Wang Yan's ill intentions, King Lu listened to his words, clearly reminding him that if he was caught, it would be the same fate as King Tang.

This is both a threat and a warning.

Zheng Chenggong understood what Wang Yan meant, after King Lu sealed Luzon, he was a courtier of Luzon, and he had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, and his status in Luzon depended on how he and King Lu discussed.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong looked at King Lu and said, "What does Your Highness think?" To accept or not to accept? ”

The key now is to see if Lu Wangtong disagrees, and what else can Zhu Yihai do at this time, Zheng Chenggong is already tempted, he can't really stop Haikou, plunder along the coast for a few years, and then be exterminated by the imperial court.

"Good! Lonely acceptance! Zhu Yihai glanced at Wang Yan and said with difficulty, "However, the assets of the Lone King in Zhejiang, as well as the people under him who want to follow the Lone King, cannot be stopped by the court." ”

"No problem!" After Wang Yan heard this, he was not too happy, "However, these people will be sent to Luzon by the imperial court in the name of exile, in addition, after the establishment of Luzon, the imperial court will not recognize it at first, and wait for you to send envoys to Nanjing next year to be crowned ministers, and then the imperial court will canonize them, and finally Zhu Cihuan, you have to hand them over." ”

King Lu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, Zhu Cihuan's residence, let me tell you, the imperial court can send someone to pick it up." However, it is best for the king of Chu not to break his promise, especially not to blockade Luzon, if Luzon has no food to eat, then the tens of thousands of sailors can only find food by themselves. ”

"Don't worry about the grain, as long as you take out the silver, the Lone King can help you buy it." Wang Yan reassured, and then said: "As for Zhu Cihuan, Gu sent a brocade guard, and you helped Gu send it to Nanjing." ”

King Lu frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "I don't have much cash in my hand, can the king of Chu borrow 400,000 stone ····· first?"
