"We just hope that your envoy can say a few kind words in front of His Majesty the Emperor and appropriately reduce some pensions." Putty raised his head and looked at Li Tengfang with a gentle face, he was almost pleading.

Li Tengfang turned a blind eye, "Beijing is not less than 10,000 miles away from the big city, how long does it take to come and go?" If the pension is not paid, in case of a mutiny, who will bear this responsibility? If the national teacher is unwilling to pay the pension, it doesn't matter, we return to the state before the Ming army entered the war, and the 100,000 Donghu army is pressing towards Dacheng. ”

"This ......" Putty didn't understand what Li Tengfang meant, the Donghu army no longer existed, could the Ming army allow the ghosts of the Donghu soldiers to participate in the attack?

"The Donghu Army is no longer there, but the Ming Army is still there," Li Tengfang seemed to have insight into Puti's thoughts, "The Donghu Army was eliminated by the Ming Army, then the Ming Army will replace the Donghu Army, and the 100,000 Ming Army will still be in Donghu, so they will attack instead of the Donghu Army, and return to China in the next country, so as to explain to my Imperial Majesty." ”

"You ......" Parase pointed at Li Tengfang, unable to speak for a while, but felt that it was not polite, so he had to put his hand back on his knee.

"Your envoy should not say such things that hurt the feelings of the two brothers," Putti looked at Parase, not angry, not tepid, "I will discuss the matter of the pension with the king, and your envoy should not be angry." ”

"I'm not angry, the contract is concluded on an equal and voluntary basis, if the contract cannot be fulfilled, then is it possible for the two parties to cooperate in the future? People can't stand without faith, and the country is the same," Li Tengfang softened his face, "If my Majesty takes the initiative to reduce some of it, it's our business, and you can't make such a request." ”

"That's, that's," Putty saw that things had room to maneuver, and his heart was a little determined, "Why don't we talk about the land first?" ”

"It's okay," Li Tengfang went to Dacheng this time, and the most important thing was the land issue, "Regarding the land issue, the contract is clearly written, and the national teacher will not forget it, right?" ”

"Of course not, but the contract is not specific enough, let's refer to the map!" Putty spread out the map of Ayutthaya and invited Li Tengfang to watch it together, "The northern border cannot be bounded by Nakhon Sawan, which is too close to the capital of our country, Ayutthaya, and I hope that your envoy can consider the feelings of my Ayutthaya subjects." ”

"That national teacher means ......" Li Tengfang remembered, the contract was divided into ~◎ dǐng~◎diǎn~◎ small ~◎ said, .2★3.o⊥s_(); Although the Donghu Army did not actually occupy Nakhon Sawan, the soldiers had already arrived here, and it became a vague area, and it made sense for everyone to belong to them.

Putty peeked at Li Tengfang, and saw that Li Tengfang was not angry, so he was bold, "It should be bounded by Dafu and Sukhothai." ”

"With this as the boundary, even if I agree, my Emperor Xià may not agree," Li Tengfang was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was as indifferent as water, Zhu Youzhen's goal here was only to recover the eight hundred Dadian Division established during the Chengzu period, that is, the area of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and now the invasion of Donghu has pushed the land of Daming to the south for more than 200 miles.

Seeing that Puti and Palasse did not speak, Li Tengfang made a reluctant expression: "I agree in principle to take Darfur, Sukhothai, and Ban Keang as the boundaries, and the above places will belong to the Ming Dynasty, and twenty miles to the south will return to the Great City, but His Royal Highness and the National Teacher need help to persuade Laos to return, so that I can return to China and explain." ”

"This is natural, what is agreed in the contract, we will definitely abide by it," Puti's gaze turned to the west of the map, "What do you think of the western border?" ”

"Naturally, according to the contract." Li Tengfang kicked the ball to Putty again.

"It is bounded by the mountains of Ta Nian Ta Weng and Bi Lao, which are the natural territory of Ayutthaya and Donghu." Putty was worried in his heart, the territory of the two sides here is good, but the Donghu army has already broken through the mountain pass between the two mountains, and I don't know if Daming knows these facts.

"If the national teacher speaks like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to trust the national teacher in the future," Li Tengfang sipped tea to hide his inner uneasiness, "Before the Ming army entered the war, the Donghu army had already occupied the first line of Panlai, Bannonbu, Tameng, and Phetchauri, and Bilao Mountain was already the inner mountain of Donghu, didn't the king and the national teacher know?" ”

"This ......," Putty said with a black line on his face, "the line of Bannonbu and Tameng is too close to the national capital, Ayutthaya, please be sure to consider the feelings of the subjects of Ayutthaya." ”

"Is the national teacher looking for a reason to break the contract?" Li Tengfang's eyes were fixed on the teacup, and he picked up the teacup and drank it violently with no one in his eyes.

"Xiaguan has no intention of breaking the contract," Putty cried with a sad face, "If Ayutthaya loses Mount Birao, it will lose the natural barrier in the west, so how will Ayutthaya face Donghu in the future?" ”

"Donghu?" Li Tengfang raised his head, "Don't worry, the national teacher can rest assured, General Bilao Mountain will always be the army of the Ming Dynasty, is it the Ming Dynasty who wants to be embankmented in the big city?" ”

"Da Ming?" Putty squirmed his lips and didn't dare to ask, he changed his way, "Will the army of the Ming Dynasty be stationed on Mount Birao forever?" ”

"Of course, didn't the contract say that the Ming Dynasty would eliminate the threat of Donghu to Dacheng forever? Da Ming is true to his word, hoping that Dacheng will also abide by the contract, once Dacheng breaks the contract, Daming will lose any responsibility to Dacheng, in other words, we no longer have fraternal mutual assistance, national teacher, do you say? ”

Putty set his eyes on Palasse, he is not worried about Donghu now, after this incident, Donghu is absolutely unable to invade Dacheng in a short time, but the Ming Dynasty, which is much stronger than Donghu, is now the trouble in the heart of Dacheng, fortunately, Daming is much more elegant than Donghu, and will not wave swords at Dacheng at will, "What about the land of the Malay Peninsula?" Once Thonburi belongs to the Ming Dynasty, our big city and this territory will lose the road passage. ”

"As far as the lower officials know, the 55th Division of the Ming Dynasty is now stationed in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, and they have seized this land from the Donghu soldiers, so I don't know where the soldiers of Ayutthaya are?" The land occupied by Li Tengfang when he followed Liu Zhenyu after Ji Lunhai was also counted as the land occupied by Donghu.

"This ......" Putty does not need this land, on the contrary, Xiyi Portugal has come to this land, and he hopes that the army of the Ming Dynasty will be stationed here forever, and the Ming will deal with the Xiyi, and the city can sit back and enjoy its success.

"The king and the national teacher, if you don't object, then the matter about the land is so decided, Daming and Dacheng are still brothers, and there are still places that need to help each other in the future." Li Tengfang has achieved great success in the most difficult land, and he can't wait.

Seeing that Palase did not object, Puti probably approved of Li Tengfang's land division, "Your envoy is right, Dacheng and Daming are still brothers, and if Dacheng encounters an enemy that is difficult to deal with in the future, I beg Daming to help." ”

"National teacher, let's implement today's contract first, Daming will not ask for rights outside the contract, as for the future, it is still up to my emperor to decide." Li Tengfang is unwilling to let Daming take more responsibility, even if it is in the language of the book, which Zhu Youzhen has repeatedly admonished.

"What does your envoy mean......" Putty glared at the old man, not knowing why Li Tengfang said something that was not appropriate.

"National teacher, cooperation between countries, must be based on good faith, if the signed contract is difficult to implement, between Daming and Dacheng is a lack of trust, what is the future cooperation? In the future, if Dacheng encounters a powerful enemy, Dacheng has no obligation to help, and there is no corresponding contract between us. ”

"A powerful enemy? Didn't the Ming Dynasty promise to eliminate the threat of Donghu forever? Puti's heart tightened, and he didn't know if Li Tengfang meant something else.

"If the contract is fully implemented, the Ming will also fulfill its responsibility to eliminate the threat of Donghu to the city forever, but what about outside the city? It is said that the navy of Xiyi has come to the Malay Peninsula, which is a country that the Ming do not want to provoke lightly, and their firearms are comparable to those of the Ming Dynasty. Li Tengfei's gaze fell on the teacup again, this time it was not nervous, but disdainful, and it should be Putty who was nervous.

Putty was really nervous, "Xiyi, the one called Portugal, I heard that he came to the Malay Peninsula, but the northern part of the Malay Peninsula now belongs to the Ming Dynasty and has nothing to do with the big city!" ”

"It really doesn't matter now, they want to seek land on land, once they are expelled from the Malay Peninsula by the Ming Dynasty, who can guarantee that they will not land on the Gulf of Siam?"

"You ......" Putty was shocked, why didn't he think of this layer? He forced his eyes on Li Tengfang, "Why did the Ming Dynasty drive Portugal into the land of the big city?" ”

"The national teacher's words are not authentic enough," Li Tengfang also forced Puti to look at Puti, he didn't give an inch in his eyes, "Portugal's firearms are too powerful, and the Ming Dynasty can't completely wipe out the Portuguese navy now, so they have to drive them out of the land of the Ming Dynasty, as for where they want to land, it's not the Ming Dynasty that has the final say, the Ming Dynasty and the big city are still brothers, so I kindly reminded the national teacher to let the big city prepare early." ”

"This ......" Putti's words, Li Tengfang's words, not leaking, but Putty is already cold, with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is still impossible to destroy Portugal, so what should the big city do? Could it be that Ayutthaya was left to Portugal?

"This Portugal, why haven't you heard of it before? How powerful is it? "Parase was like hearing about Portugal for the first time.

"Infinitely powerful," Putty knew, Portugal had invaded Donghu before, and with the strength of Donghu, it was still unable to resist, let alone a big city? "Tell me, can we renew the contract?" Portugal has put a lot of pressure on Puti.

"Renewing the contract? The national teacher laughed, the original contract has not been implemented, why should we renew the contract? Li Tengfang smiled in his heart, "Besides, Xia Guan is only executing the contract that has been signed, as for the renewal of the contract, it must be approved by my Imperial Majesty, I am willing to help the national teacher, and I have no right to renew the contract." ”

"Your Majesty's words are not right, we are discussing and implementing the contract," Putty was already in a cold sweat, Parase didn't know Portugal, he knew, "Besides, isn't the contract already negotiated?" The next thing is implementation, is there anything that can't be implemented? ”

"There seems to be another clause in the contract, that is, the national teacher helped persuade Laos, I don't know how the national teacher is going?" Li Tengfang, like Zhu Youzhen, did not report much hope for this article, the key is to look at Dacheng's attitude, when he has already used troops in the future, Dacheng will not morally obstruct it.
