Sun Jingting smiled: "In the future, if there is a 2,000-ton class, it is estimated that it can only be taken by names such as Jingshi and Nanjing." ”

Chang Wei said: "I have a lot of old capitals in China. ”

Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty is only the north and the south, but Hutchison is forging ahead for the whole of China, why bother to hold on to the defects and stick to the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty? There have always been dozens of names in the old capital throughout the ages, and if Hutchison can build dozens of 2,000-ton ships, I am afraid that Zhang Han will wake up with a smile when he falls asleep.

"Then come down to prepare for negotiations." There was a tide of joy all around, Chang Wei had calmed down, and he said: "Of course I don't have to come forward directly in this matter, the continuation is also busy, Pingzhi will take over the negotiation before going to Fujian, and the marching department will mobilize people to help you, and all will choose elite soldiers and strong generals, if Zheng Zhilong comes back, he will be the deputy envoy." Be sure to negotiate the treaty in the shortest possible time, and both sides sign the agreement! ”

Sun Jingting listened on the sidelines, feeling that if Chang Wei's words were not his own, he would not be able to accept such a way of speaking, treaties, exchange of letters, signing and exchanging contracts, when Chang Wei was very familiar with these words, and the people around him did not feel that there was anything wrong.

When Zhang Xuwen heard this, he said: "It's not sure that the Dutch will definitely come to negotiate peace, right?" ”

Sun Jingting also had some doubts, and looked at Chang Wei with suspicious eyes.

Chang Wei laughed and said: "There is no doubt about this, the Dutch are the most important and profitable, and our delay for a day is a loss of tens of thousands, how good can they be?" If we can beat us and win this game completely, sooner or later the losses will be made up. Now I can't win, if the stalemate continues, I throw the silver into the water every day, they are also a company, the principal here is like my status, I have to explain to the military department, to Brother Wenlan, and they also have to explain to the major shareholders in China. What is the point of vindictiveness? Wars are fought for silver, and if you can't win, you will make peace, and it is also for silver. Silver is the most real, and fighting spirit is meaningless. ”

Although he has been in Hutchison for many years and has been in charge of government affairs for many years, Sun Jingting still cannot understand such a logical way of thinking.

This is completely different from the way of thinking of nomads and agrarian peoples towards war and hatred, but Sun Jingting knows that Chang Wei is right, this is the logic of business, the logic of businessmen.

If I can eat it, I will eat it without hesitation. There are risks and difficulties in eating, so I have to calculate whether it is cost-effective, and if it is cost-effective, I will do it, and if it is not cost-effective, I will not do it.

Before the war, it was for interests, in the middle of the war was for interests, and after the war, it was still interests.

Of course, the Dutch will not talk about the loss of Hutchison, because the greater good will be in the future, although they are all for profit, but they are not the kind of short-sighted people, for the sake of profit, they will ignore face, as long as they are real and do not seek fame.

This is a completely novel way of thinking for Chinese...... Even if it is a Chinese businessman, in order to fight for fame and lose money and goods is too much, in the Ming Dynasty businessmen also have to take care of their own image, make money to return to the township, do some good deeds, usually to the neighbors on credit, even some people do not pay back, can not use too drastic means to recover, even if the lawsuit, officials will not clearly support the businessman, because the businessman in the Ming Dynasty is synonymous with cunning and immorality, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, the businessman is clear that the carriage and horses are looked down upon by the group, why, profit-seeking is the original sin.

This is the absurdity, seriously detached from reality, everyone likes to live better, but they don't like the people who pursue a better life as a career.

The kind of businessman thinking that Chang Wei said spread in the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that he will be burned to death as a heresy.

"Two to three days at most." Chang Wei asserted: "The Dutch will count their remaining strength, as well as the loss this time. Then they will send someone to contact us under a white flag and determine the time and place of the negotiation with us. It won't take more than five days, and then we can officially reopen negotiations. ”

The location and candidates for the negotiation have already been discussed just now, and Chang Wei did not mention it again, but there was inevitably excitement on his face.

"I'm so excited." Sun Jingting shook his head, and his heart began to really raise this trip to Taiwan.

……

After the war, it was devastating.

The men of the marching division were busy all night, and the next day more people were mobilized to help during the day.

It took more than 1,000 people to catch the wreck, and all the small boats were sent out, and the hands went on board in shifts, and more than 100 people could dive, and they also took turns to go to the sea.

Although the water depth is about 30 meters, it is also the distance that people can dive, but every time they will face the change of pressure, the physical harm to people is not small.

The pearl divers on the seashore often hold their breath for a minute to dive pearls at a depth of dozens of meters, and the pearls they pick up are sold very expensive, but the pearl divers have limited income, and they will suffer from diving diseases in their prime, and they will not live for a few years in the future.

But the work of pearl diving always has to be done by someone, and the divers can be divided into several shifts, as is the case now, so as not to be too damaged. Zhang Xuwen also took people to the beach today, many of the diving people are natives, and some leaders of the natives tribes are also there, plus the great victory, Zhang Xuwen wants to take the natives to see the captured Dutch and ships, and see the remnants of the sea, but not to show off his might to these natives, Hutchison's force is a hundred times higher than the natives, no matter how stupid the natives are, they have already understood in their hearts, he brought them over, the key is still in the four words of the same enemy.

Not only for more than half a year, but as early as a few years ago, the Dutch often docked here in Taiwan, Yan Siqi and Li Dan also helped the Dutch collect goods in their warehouses, and Dutch ships often docked here in Bengang.

Replenish water, hunt, fish, rest, and put some goods purchased in Fujian.

Dutch ships will also deliberately dock off the coast of Fujian to create some trouble and find a sense of existence, and in the final analysis, the supply bases are still in Penghu and Taiwan.

Therefore, the Dutch first sought Penghu and then Taiwan, both of which were related to their trade routes from Fujian to Japan.

The natives have been brutalized by the Dutch for a long time, and of course they hate them to the core.

While visiting the sea, several of the native chieftains also saw the Dutch captives held in an open fence.

There were always more than 300 people, all listless, some leaning on the edge of the fence to look outside, reclining, with dull eyes.

More people just sit cross-legged on the ground in a daze, whether they are powerful or cunning and wise, or fierce and cruel, no matter what kind of temperament or extraordinary intelligence, they can only sit cross-legged honestly in the prisoner camp.

The weather in Taiwan is hot, although the temperature is still very high during the day in autumn, and it is not cold at night, the prisoners were directly locked up here in a hurry last night, this side was originally a place for stacking goods in the open air, surrounded by hundreds of steps of fences, very strong, the gate outside is locked, and there is a ready-made prisoner camp.

In fact, I don't want to be too kind to the prisoners, don't kill or not, and there is no need to get used to these people, the colonists of this era do not have a good person, they come out for high profits, for gold and silver, these guys have no lower limit at all, and their hands may be stained with blood, and the kindness to these people will make them not know how to advance and retreat, and they don't know what to do.

In the morning, the gate of the camp opened, and a dozen cooks brought in a few buckets of water, each of which was just enough to drink a spoonful, to quench their thirst, but they couldn't drink enough.

One by one, the nest of multigrain noodles is to satisfy hunger, and it is of course impossible to eat enough.

A little thirsty, a little hungry, but people are more honest.

"You can't kill anyone." Zhang Xuwen smiled gently, of course he didn't plan to explain to these native leaders what it was to kill prisoners, the civilization of the native people had not yet reached the point where the Han people were two thousand years ago, he explained: "These people are very valuable, and the Dutch will use money to redeem them." ”

At this time, the leaders of the natives can understand, and the natives often attack and kill each other, but if they capture valuable people, they will also redeem them to the other tribe, and the price is of course some food and other things, they can now understand what silver is, and they can naturally accept Zhang Xuwen's words.

"Can this person be killed?" A native leader suddenly pointed at one of the captives, and his expression changed to a very vicious expression.

"Our tribe is willing to give out a hundred deerskins." The leader was afraid that Zhang Xuwen would be reluctant, so he hurriedly said: "If Lord Zhang agrees, I will send someone back to get the deer skin now." ”

"Why kill him?"

The leader said: "This man killed many warriors in our tribe, but he still tortured them in a cruel way, and finally cut off their scalps and took them away. We knew him, not tall, red-haired! ”

"I will report this matter to the Standing Minister." Zhang Xuwen said: "Deer skin is not needed, if this person really commits so many big crimes, I will hand him over to you." ”

Chang Wei was not at the beach, but he and Li Pingyi presided over the meeting to discuss the details of the negotiations with the Dutch.

Sun Jingting is inspecting the barracks today, Li Shouxin and Jiang Kui and others accompanied him to inspect together, the army just assembled yesterday, and there was another big battle, Sun Jingting is the chief officer of the Military Orders Department, his status is noble, and it is not more suitable to inspect and comfort the whole army.

Killing a captive is just a trivial matter, but with Zhang Xuwen's character, he still waited for Chang Wei and others to come out of the meeting, so he stepped forward and told him about the matter.

"It's just a small matter...... Chang Wei didn't care, and said, "The continuation looks like it's done." ”

Li Pingzhi frowned and said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it quickly, the Dutch still attach great importance to killing prisoners, they can kill others, if their own people ask someone to kill prisoners, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Zhang Xuwen did not mind Li Pingzhi's attitude, as the leader of the negotiations, Li Pingzhi definitely did not want undue accidents and twists and turns.
