Chapter 454: The Treaty of Hangzhou

Qian Hongyi bowed his head and was silent, and Cui Daoshu continued to increase:

"Lord Thorn Shi, we have no choice but to do this. According to the reliable information we have obtained, several of your brothers, Qian Hongyi, Qian Hongyi, and Qian Hongxin, are all plotting to seize the position of the lord of the country in other places.

Moreover, Qian Hongxin has a grudge against us, and it was he and Sun Chengyou who planned the attack on our Seven Seas Company's fleet together, which forced us to come to Hangzhou for revenge, resulting in today's situation.

So it is absolutely impossible for us to reconcile with Qian Hongxin, and we can only breathe a sigh of relief if you ascend to the position of the lord of the country. Otherwise, Qian Hongxin ascended to the position of the lord of the country, will we still have a good life? ”

Zhao Zizhong looked at Qian Hongyi with sharp eyes: "Mr. Qian, if you are not the lord of Wu Yue Kingdom, you will be replaced by Qian Hongxin." We will move all the people of Hangzhou City, take away all the money and materials of Hangzhou City, and then burn Hangzhou City to the ground! Let Qian Hongxin get nothing, weaken Wu Yueguo's war potential to the greatest extent, and make Qian Hongxin anxious, at least for more than ten years, unable to deal with us. We definitely do what we say, think about it, don't be unpredictable! ”

Qian Hongyi was shocked, if these bandits dared to do this, Wu Yueguo would be finished! There will definitely be smoke everywhere, wars and disasters will be linked, thieves will be everywhere, and the people will be miserable. These people are so ruthless!

When the brothers saw that Qian Hongyi's face was very ugly, they didn't speak, and quietly waited for him to make a decision.

Old man Lu said worriedly: "Shilang, judging from old age, your grandfather and father's two generations of lords have overcome obstacles and created this foundation through hardships, which is very hard-won. And Qian Hongyu, a waste, couldn't even keep the foundation of his ancestors, and was easily occupied by a group of pirates. Such a fool really shouldn't continue to take on the big responsibility.

And you are old and grew up watching from a young age, you are pure and kind-hearted, talented, and the successor to the lord of the country is definitely much stronger than Qian Hongzuo, Qian Hongliang, and Qian Hongyu. Lao Yu thinks that you should think about the people of Wu Yue, take over the position of the lord of the country, and don't let the misery happen! ”

Qian Hongyi sighed: "Hey, don't hide it from you, I'm in a mess now, I really have to think about it." In addition, I have to consult with my staff, can I please give me a little time? I'll be sure to give you an answer tomorrow. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "No problem, please Mr. Qian seriously consider it, let Lao Qi arrange your food and lodging, what do you need, please don't be polite, just open your mouth to Lao Qi." ”

----------------- ---------------- -----------------

The next day, as expected by the brothers, Qian Hongyi initially agreed to take over as the head of the country, and then started negotiations with the brothers, and this negotiation lasted for four days.

In the past few days, the two sides have quarreled very fiercely, Zhao Zizhong, Wei ~ Hongye, Na Zhe, Boris, Cui Daoshu and Qian Hongyi's staff are arguing with each other, fighting for their own interests little by little, making everyone rise and exhausted.

Later, Zhao Zizhong brought Du Dalei, a-stirring stick, to participate in the negotiations, let him be responsible for gags, and kept messing around with the other party with a poisonous tongue, Qian Hongyi's staff were so angry that they trembled all over, and made the old man Lu who was not in agreement with Du Dalei like thunder.

In the end, both sides made certain concessions and reached a preliminary agreement.

Na Zhe called the agreement the "Jiazi Treaty" to correspond to the "Xinchou Treaty" signed by our big ~ Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Nation Alliance.

And Du Dalei had to call the "Treaty of Nanjing" to celebrate the Seven Seas Company knocking on the door of Wu Yue with a strong ship and a sharp cannon. The two quarreled happily over the matter.

Later, Cui Daoshu proposed to call the agreement the "Hangzhou Treaty", which was approved by the brothers, so that the two two goods died down.

The main content of the "Treaty of Hangzhou", under the bad taste of the brothers, is completely similar to the "Treaty of Nanjing" in later generations. The main ones are as follows:

1. Declare the end of the war. Relations between the two sides have shifted from a state of war to a state of peace.

2. Wu Yueguo opened Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Mingzhou, Xiuzhou, and Taizhou as treaty ports (historically known as "Five Ports of Commerce"), and allowed Seven Seas to send personnel to the Ministry of Commerce, and allowed Seven Seas businessmen and their families to live freely.

3. Indemnity. Wu Yueguo paid 7 million guan to the Seven Seas Company, of which 3 million guan has been paid in full (the part has been transported back to Qishan Island), and the rest of the money has been paid in 5 years.

4. Cut the land. The Zhoushan Islands and its affiliated islands were ceded to Seven Seas Company, and Seven Seas Company's troops withdrew from Hangzhou City and the surrounding rivers and islands.

5. Allow the Seven Seas Company to trade freely with the merchants of Wu Yueguo.

6. Wu Yueguo must agree with Seven Seas Company on the taxes paid for the import and export goods of Seven Seas Company, and shall not arbitrarily increase the tariffs.

7. The Seven Seas Company released the prisoners of war, but Qian Hongyu and his concubines and children moved to the Ryukyus from the Seven Seas Company.

8. Seven Seas Company provided Wu Yueguo with high-quality weapons, and sent instructors to help Wu Yueguo train the army and help Wu Yueguo quell the rebellion in the country.

9. When Wu Yue was attacked by other countries, Seven Seas Company could send troops to help Wu Yue resist it.

The two sides signed the "Hangzhou Treaty" in the Ideological and Political Hall of the Imperial Palace, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The second year of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty (964 AD)

Qian Hongyi held an enthronement ceremony, which was attended by all the top executives of Seven Seas.

After nearly 20 days of relocation, Seven Seas swept away the money and materials that Wu Yueguo had accumulated for decades and transported them back to Qishan Island in batches.

Zhao Zizhong announced the official end of the Battle of Hangzhou, and the escort evacuated the city of Hangzhou in an orderly manner, and packed Qian Hongyu, his concubines, and young children and took them away.

When he left Hangzhou City, Zhao Zizhong left behind a bulky bed crossbow and ballista, and gave Qian Hongyi a small amount of bombs~bombs, burning~burning~ bombs, to help him defend Hangzhou City and deal with the upcoming rebels.

Zhao Zizhong also released Shen Chengli, took Shen Chengli's family members as hostages, and forced him to pledge allegiance to Qian Hongyi.

Shen Chengli gave in, and he said that he would immediately begin to gather the remnants of the defeated army, purge the defenders of Hangzhou, and prepare for the attack of the rebels.

At noon on the third day of September, the huge fleet returned to Qishan Island.

This time, the Seven Seas Company snatched more than 100 ships of various types in Hangzhou, greatly expanding the shipping power, and Cui Daoshu, Cui Zhaorong, and Wang Quanle couldn't close their mouths.

Immediately, Zhao Zizhong ordered more than 90 ships loaded with grain, cloth, cattle, mules and horses, poultry, farm tools and other materials, as well as more than 1,300 poor landless farmers and their families recruited outside Hangzhou, and Wang Quan led the team to Ryukyu.

When these farmers heard that they had been working in the Ryukyus for five years, each household would be given a hundred acres of land, and that they would not have to pay rent or pay taxes, and they would not have to serve forced labor.

Due to the limited number of ships transported, Wang Quan selected more than 400 households and took them to Ryukyu in the first batch.

He solemnly promised the surging crowd that he would regularly recruit farmers to go to the Ryukyus to reclaim the wasteland, so that the farmers who came to sign up dispersed one after another.

As soon as the brothers disembarked at the dock in the eastern part of Qishan Island, Hu Yidao, Tian Renfeng, and Cheng Sangou rushed over with their Murwei followers.

"Mr. Zhao, you're back, I want to kill you! I have great news to report! Hu Yidao shouted with joy on his face.

"What's the good news? Tell me about it? Du Dalei grabbed Hu with a knife.

"Haha, Lao Du, it has nothing to do with you, it's the matter between the head of the Cui family and Mr. Na, you can play while you go." Hu Yidao struggled to break free from Du Dalei's grasp.

"Did Fang Juniang and Qi Jiuniang give birth?" Na Zhe asked eagerly.

"Yes, a few days ago, Teacher Qi gave birth to a boy, and three days later, it was yesterday, Teacher Fang gave birth to a girl."

Na Zhe shouted: "Ah, I'm a father!" Then he pulled his leg and ran.

Cui Daoshu was also happy, and hurriedly came over to ask:

"Hu Yidao, tell me quickly, are their mother and son safe?"

"It's all right, your little boy is very healthy, and his crying is very loud, which makes the old lady happy!"

Cui Daoshu laughed, untied the money bag from his body, and stuffed it into Hu Yidao's hand.

"Hu Yidao, thank you for coming to report the good news, you can use the money to buy delicious food, don't shirk!"

Hu Yidao gave a salute to Cui Dao, and then roared away with his followers, eager to find a place to share the spoils.

The brothers came over to congratulate Cui, and he happily returned the salute to everyone.

"I said Xiao Qi, Taiqin's old bald donkey, the prediction is still very accurate. He said last year that your heir will fall on Qi Jiuniang. Sure enough, Qi Jiuniang really gave birth to a son for you, should you have a wine and a treat? Du Dalei immediately began to knock on the bamboo.

Cui Daoshu waved his hand vigorously: "No problem, I will set up a wine and treat at night, everyone has to go, whoever doesn't go will not give me face." ”

In the evening, Cui Daoshu held a banquet at the hotel to entertain the top executives of Seven Seas and their families. Liang officials and their families, Cao Yongxian, Gao Yanei and Cao Deshun, and Wang Mingjun's family members also attended.

During the banquet, Qi Jiuniang hugged her son, and Fang Juniang also came to the scene with her daughter.

Both of these children are pink and cute, and everyone likes them very much.

People with good deeds began to coax and let the two children form a baby kiss, Cui Daoshu and Na Zhe happily agreed.

Du Dalei drank too much, and when he saw Jiang Wuniang with a big belly, he asked him strangely when he was born, and Fu Hongyu dragged him away.

Li Jilong drank wine while looking at this happy and peaceful scene, and felt that this trip was the right one.

The strength of this Nanami Company is really too strong, my brother really didn't lie to himself, the weapon in their hands is definitely a weapon that is unparalleled in the world.

And their army is well-trained and has a strong will to fight, and they are rare elite soldiers in the world.

He secretly made up his mind that he must study modestly, practice martial arts hard, and revive his family business in the future and get ahead!
