[ps: In the past two days, my son has had a sibling and mouth, and he is not around, and he is about to die, but the family said that it is better, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. 】

"Now that Jing Haibo has received the holy order, please immediately send troops north to prevent the Manchus from building a naval division." Hou Qi saw that Fan Jinyan seemed to be very satisfied with the title of Earl Jinghai, so he asked while the iron was hot.

Old Master Wang was also full of joy when he saw that he could successfully complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, and at this time he really shook his head and stroked his goatee with a comfortable face.

Fan Jin smiled noncommittally, and after casually putting the bright yellow silk holy decree embroidered with the golden two dragons and pearls on the coffee table on the side, he said slowly: "A little Jing Haibo wants this general to be born and die for him, our emperor's calculation is really loud!" ”

"Jing Haibo, what does this mean? Isn't a hereditary earl a great gift? Hou Qi frowned and said: "The Ming Dynasty has been founding for more than 200 years, and few people have ever received this honor except for the founding heroes. ”

Fan Jinyan didn't care, and said with a smile: "When Yang Bo said that he was laughing, it wasn't that Fan didn't care about the country's favor." It's just that if just because of the emperor's holy decree, a dispensable empty earl leads the troops north, I'm afraid the soldiers will not accept it! “

Wang Wenyuan said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that Jing Haibo is not afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced, but that the reward is too low!" ”

"Haha." Fan Jinyan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Reward? That's a bit too much! Will this general use him Chongzhen to reward? It's time for lunch since morning, haven't you all figured out your position? ”

The implication is very clear, Lao Tzu just played a monkey show with you all morning, and now that you have had enough, it's time to get down to business.

The two finally realized that Fan Jinyan had been just playing with himself, and they immediately hated it, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Hou Qi saw that Old Master Wang was about to prepare to move the dogma and explain the big reason, so he hurriedly said first: "Then I don't know how Lord Fan will agree to send troops?" ”

"Simple, as long as Chongzhen promises to cede Guangzhou to me, and crown me the king of Jinghai, the general of Zhennan, and pay one million taels of military expenses, then I will immediately order the navy to go north." Fan Jinyan said.

When the words fell, Wang Wenyuan and Hou Qi were completely petrified, they had seen a lion with a big mouth, but they had never seen such a big lion's mouth, it was not a negotiation, it was simply a robbery.

"Don't even think about it, the Ming Dynasty is a dead country, and he won't cede an inch of land to you, say goodbye." Wang Wenyuan was the first to react, got up and roared at Fan Jinyan, then turned around and was about to leave.

Fan Jinyan regretted it after speaking, the negotiation was originally a lion's mouth and bargaining, but he forgot that Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was arrested, and he first threatened the emperor's life and failed to make the Ming compromise and cede an inch of land. Although Daming is in danger now, even if Chongzhen is willing to compromise, it is estimated that these ministers will not agree.

Just when General Fan was annoyed, Hou Qi took the initiative to help, grabbed Wang Wenyuan and said, "Wang Lao, Wang Lao, don't be excited, calm down"

"Calm down? How do you want the old man to calm down? Do you want the old man to be the first sinner in the Ming Dynasty to cede land and pay compensation? Wang Wenyuan roared.

I didn't expect this old man to be so excited, and what he said about the compensation for land cession was indeed a bit excessive.

Hou Qi comforted again and again, and whispered in the ear of Old Man Wang: "Alas, my lord! Negotiation, negotiation, he sits on the ground and starts the price, let's land the counteroffer"

Although Old Master Wang snorted, he honestly returned to the chair and continued to sit.

Fan Jinyan saw that Hou Qi had inadvertently helped him, and his heart suddenly blossomed, but in order to remain mysterious, he still smiled and said nothing, waiting for their next step.

After Hou Qi and the other old guys got their way, they also sat down and said to Fan Jinyan: "Jing Haibo's conditions are really unacceptable, I have been a country for nearly three hundred years, and I have never compromised with any force to cede land. ”

Now Qiongzhou does not have the strength to expand externally, Fan Jinyan never thought that he would point to the mainland so early, just said that, but he just deliberately teased the two, and now when he heard Hou Qi say this, he borrowed a step and said: "In this case, General Ben will not embarrass you, you can not want the land, but there are a few others, there is nothing to discuss." ”

Hou Qi continued to shake his head and said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding heroes, there has been no king and duke. Moreover, there is an ancestral system, and it is not a matter of expanding the territory, and it is not allowed to be a marquis. Jing Haibo, it is not possible to be crowned a king. ”

Fan Jinyan smiled coldly and said, "This is not good, that is not good, then there is nothing to talk about, two, please!" ”

For a while, the negotiations reached an impasse, what kind of temper Chongzhen has, the two of them know very well that if they dare to loosen their mouths today, the black pot that goes back is decided.

But if the negotiations are unsuccessful, how will the Ming Dynasty protect the southeast coastal defense? There is at least the Yangtze River barrier on land, but what about the sea? What defense to take?

After thinking about it, Wang Wenyuan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The old man is in charge, canonize Jinghaihou." ”

After Wang Wenyuan finished speaking, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, he drooped his shoulders and leaned on the back of the chair in a daze, as if the whole person had aged ten years old.

Fan Jinyan and Hou Qi both understood that Old Man Wang was exchanging his life for the safety of Daming.

At this moment, the two suddenly had a little more respect for this stubborn old man, although he was pedantic, but he was loyal to Daming.

Since they have all compromised on the hereditary title, what is it to send another useless general Zhennan, but there is another debate on military expenses.

Fan Jinyan's request was one million taels of silver, which had already thought of the current tax of Daming, how could they agree, and the highest price given was one hundred thousand taels.

In the end, after some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement, the Ming Dynasty canonized Fan Jinyan as Jinghaihou, the general of Zhennan, hereditary permanent stationed on Qiongzhou Island, and Fan Jinyan's obligation is to transfer the navy to the north, not only to protect the coastal defense safety of the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, but also to attack the coastal area of Beiyang, find and destroy the Manchu shipyard, so that the Manchu ships can not go to sea. And the military expenses paid were 100,000 taels of silver and 300,000 people.

In other words, Wang Wenyuan and Hou Qi sold 300,000 young people between the ages of ten and twenty-five to Qiongzhou at the price of three taels of silver.

Since Chongzhen had given the two of them full responsibility before they came, and did not report to the emperor who was kept in the dark, the two signed the contract. Because the big war is imminent, there is no time to toss back and forth for more than a month.

In fact, except for the 300,000 young and strong people, Fan Jinyan didn't care about those few things, but in ancient times that followed orthodoxy, reputation often had more advantages than substantive things.

Before he had a title, although Fan Jinyan was the de facto ruler of Qiongzhou, he was still a small governor after all, and when he sent troops to Nanyang in the future, he would not be able to stand in righteousness.

Now it's different, he is Jinghaihou, and his fief is Qiongzhou Island, and no one can say anything. General Zhennan seems to be useless, but don't forget that all the countries of Nanyang are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and General Zhennan has the right to conquer. When Fan Jinyan sent troops in the future, he could completely use the banner of the Ming Dynasty to slowly eat Nanyang one bite at a time
