Chapter 75: Negotiations
The power of the Australians' artillery is so powerful, even greater than the power of the red-haired artillery, which Zheng Hongkui did not expect, originally thought that the Australians were just about the same strength as them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They didn't pay too much attention to the Perfect, but after this battle, they realized what a strong ship cannon was, and the shells on their side couldn't cause any damage to the other party at all.
There is no way but to retreat, the most important thing is to preserve strength, Zheng Hongkui can judge that if he does not retreat, all the strong ships will become live rakes.
Back in the city, the first thing Zheng Hongkui did was to report the news to his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong, this time it was a hard bone encountered, and he was defeated on the sea where they thought he was the most proud, which could be said to have a great impact on them.
Although the news has not yet spread, sooner or later someone will know that looking at the posture, the Australians are going to block the Zheng family's trade route to Japan.
The naval blockade is not impossible, they are waiting in the open sea, as long as the ship is out of the dock, they can intercept it, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable in the long run, and this problem needs to be solved well.
How to solve the problem, first of all, we have to sit down and negotiate, no matter whether the negotiation is not agreed, we must first know what the other party wants.
In addition to sending news from Fuzhou, Zheng Hongkui also sent people to the perfect ship to stay in the sea area and sent an invitation, hoping to negotiate with Australia.
Looking at the letter of negotiation and peace sent to him, Sun Yang frowned: "This is admitted, I still want to do a few shots, it's too boring, this body is still hot, I admit it, negotiate." ā
"You kid just laugh, Commissar Wang has never encountered such an opportunity to start a war, let you pick and choose if you meet, since you want to negotiate, let's go meet him, Yuzhou and I will go together, it is enough to send a few guards, and the others will stay."
Wu Zhengdao was the commander-in-chief of this incident, and it was understandable to give orders, so he naturally had no opinion on his arrangement.
However, meeting the legendary Zheng family made him look forward to it, and he wanted to know who he would meet.
Riding the assault boat, Wu Zhengdao and Yang Yuzhou and others went ashore in a few minutes, with a pistol pinned to their waists, and the guard's guy was holding an AK47 in his hand, and there was a row of magazines on his chest, this equipment was enough for them to escape to the dock after encountering problems, as long as they arrived at the dock, the Zheng family would be helpless.
Of course, the Zheng family can't be so stupid, it's not a good thing to do it to the negotiators, once they annoy the Australians, they drive directly into the dock and shell all the ships, then the problem is big.
Led by the people sent by the Zheng family, he took a carriage to a seemingly very luxurious mansion and stopped.
"A few people inside, please, Lord Zheng has been waiting for a long time."
Lord Zheng, this title sounds a little familiar, but it shouldn't be Zheng Zhibao, in terms of time distance, if he rushes back, he won't have that time, after all, there are no planes and high-speed trains during this period.
So it is certain that this Lord Zheng should be someone else in the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong is nepotistic, and several brothers are in charge of different affairs.
When they met, the other party was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, and judging from his appearance, he really couldn't tell which one of the Zheng family was.
"In Xia Zheng Hongkui, there should be a misunderstanding with Australian friends this time, so I specially invited to come and solve the problem."
The spy leader Zheng Hongkui, this is a profession of Zhou Billy, it is said that he is the commander of Jinyi Weidu, that is, a spy leader, I didn't expect it to be him, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Wu Zhengdao was very polite to hug his fists and greet the other party.
"What did Lord Zheng say, this time it should not be a misunderstanding, your merchant ship broke into our navy's test launch site, this is clearly intended to provoke a dispute between the two countries, how can it be considered a misunderstanding."
In this incident, Australia's decision to bite the other party to death was deliberately offended, so it will never be as simple as an ordinary misunderstanding, didn't Zheng Zhibao ban Australia, then Australia will counter-block you on this trade to see who has more losses.
In fact, the Zheng family is very dependent on trade with Japan, which is his main source of economic income, and how can he support such a large number of private armed forces without money.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Lord Wu, Australia and I are both descendants of Yan and Huang, we should get along in harmony, and we shouldn't use swords, just say it, what do you need the Zheng family to do."
Zheng Hongkui said this is actually a little helpless, not that he is unwilling to continue to confront Australia, but that he does not have this strength at all, he has already experienced what strength is from a small naval battle, if he continues to do it like this, not only will there be no benefits for both sides, but it will also make the Zheng family lose a lot.
Do you make money, even if you don't do this Australian goods, you can't lose this business on the sea, this is the foundation of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong gave him an accurate answer.
However, he asked a little knowingly, knowing what the Zheng family should do, but he asked about Wu Zhengdao. The Zheng family blocked the channels and sales channels for Australian procurement, doesn't he know how to do it?
"Lord Zheng, we all understand that people don't go around the corner, Australia is a commercial country, you let Australian goods not sell in Daming, and Australia can't purchase goods, what do you say about this, then it can only be solved by force, don't hide it from you, the domestic government has given clear instructions, if you don't stop the existing behavior, our government doesn't mind going to war directly in Daming, I believe we have also seen our strength."
The war with Daming is just talking, in fact, it is still a war with the Zheng family, this is just not explicit, how could Zheng Hongkui not know, of course he knows what the other party means.
Stop the current action, that is, let the businesses continue to buy Australian goods, and at the same time need to pay a compensation like Australians.
Doing so will make the Zheng family's majesty swept away If you don't do this, the Australians will never let go, they are not local businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, they can fight and leave, this is the most troublesome place.
For the sake of his own interests, I am afraid that it will not work if he does not do this, this time it is indeed a loss to his wife and a soldier, Zheng Hongkui had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and at the same time hope that the two sides can cooperate amicably.
Since the other party agrees, then there is no need to do things so absolutely, after all, the Zheng family is still relatively powerful in this Daming Sea, and it is better to be good than to be an opponent.
Wu Zhengdao agreed to hand over the agency rights of Fujian and Jiangsu to the Zheng family, but the agency fee was the same price as others.
In the end, the two sides shook hands and made peace, signed and signed a pledge, and a crisis was successfully resolved.
