In the barracks of the Ming army, Yang Chengzu's camp tent was brightly lit, and a few female dependents who knew martial arts such as Mi Niang held their weapons tightly and looked at the uninvited guest opposite with indifferent eyes. Although this guest was tightly wrapped in black cloth around his body, he could still conclude from those eyes as bright as stars that he was a vixen.

She speaks the official language very fluently, and she can still be sure that she is a foreigner, no matter how many women there are in the family, there is always no gentile category, and then she looks at her husband staring at each other, and her heart is not happy.

Obviously, the wrapped face can't even be seen, but even the woman, Mi Niang and others have to admit that this kind of wrapping method is more noticeable than revealing the jade body. Her husband's eyes also fell on the other party, and she didn't know what to see.

On the second day of the siege, a negotiator came, and from any level, this is a good omen, and this battle may end soon. No matter what their background is, these Yang family daughters are used to being pampered in the Yang family, so they are naturally unwilling to stay in this kind of place for long, and it is good for everyone to be able to collect troops early.

However, as a messenger, this woman is not qualified, her dress is weird, and her origin is relatively sneaky, which makes it difficult to let go of people's hearts. Negotiating this kind of thing, first of all, is to have a sincerity, and she refuses to even show her face, who can think she is reliable. Moreover, the conditions she put forward sounded a little inexplicable even to several women.

"The Ming and Portugal trade freely, Portuguese ships can sail freely in the waters of the Ming Dynasty, merchants can freely enter and exit the Ming city, Portugal and the Ming can preach each other in each other's territory, and the Portuguese do not have to go through the tooth line to trade......" Looking at a treaty thrown out by this mysterious woman, Yang Chengzu was a little crying and laughing, and the content of this treaty was quite a bit of an unequal treaty in later generations. If you only look at the content of the treaty, it is difficult to imagine who won the naval battle.

The female envoy also seemed to understand Yang Chengzu's emotions, "This treaty was drawn up before the war, so some of the terms have a certain distance from the objective facts. The Commander is not aware of its existence, it represents the will of the Church, and I have no authority to modify it. The situation has changed a bit, but I think this treaty is still appropriate, and you are doing a good job, but what's the point? We have thousands of men in the fort, and we have a lot of food and water, and it will take you a year to besiege us before we can bring us to our knees. But can you besiege it for a year? ”

She seemed to smile, her face was covered, and she could not see her expression, but could only listen to her continue: "According to what I know about your country, you will reach the limit if you maintain a siege for two to three months at most. The huge supply pressure will make you have to hastily withdraw your troops, and we are still the masters of this island. So, as long as you agree to this condition, the whole island will be yours, and in front of your Emperor His Majesty, you can get medals, and you can sit down and talk about business, isn't it? I will also tell you that the Viceroy of India will send his warships and valiant musketeers to our rescue at any time, and that you will lose your chance, even if you want to sign this treaty. ”

Yang Chengzu looked at the mysterious visitor in front of him, and was not angry because of the other party's arrogance, but on the contrary, he looked at it from top to bottom with an appreciative gaze. In such a matter of negotiation, we should not only look at the eloquence of the negotiator, but also look at our own bargaining chips. Now the Portuguese have nothing more than a castle, where do they have the courage to talk to themselves like this?

He didn't think that this woman belonged to the type of blind arrogance, on the contrary, the attitude she showed after entering the account was indeed to put herself in a low profile, showing enough politeness and humility. To be able to enter the camp alone at such a time, you must have extraordinary courage, and to surrender as soon as the siege is formed, you must have enough wisdom, such a woman should not be the type who does not know the overall situation. But in terms of the terms of the treaty, it showed unusual tenacity, as if there were really big enough cards in his hand.

Whether it was a bluff or a real thing, there was no means to confirm it for the time being, Yang Chengzu didn't seem to care too much about this, just smiled and said: "Fleet? Support? How many fleets do you have, and how many supports do you have? I don't know how many men your Indian Governor has at his disposal, but I can be sure that our Governor of Liangguang has more soldiers at his disposal than your Indian Governor. Besides, he sent troops from India, if he can transfer troops faster than our own Ming Dynasty, I will cut off my head and use it as a bench for you to sit on! Woman, don't bluff, you governor, even if you really send troops, you will just send them to death. ”

"Perhaps, but you still can't take the island. Even if you attack the castle with all the artillery fire you have, it won't help, and I don't think you will deny that. You can't stay here for a year and send so many troops to return in vain, and I don't think you want to take on this responsibility. ”

"You're wrong, this island, in fact, we've already taken it back. Tuen Mun is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is shamelessly stolen by you, such as today's soldiers, Tuen Mun will be restored immediately. What's the point of you occupying this castle? Have you come thousands of miles from mainland Portugal to starve in the castle? You come to Daming to do business and make money. But now Tuen Mun is like this, and you still make a ghost of money. What if the officers and soldiers can't take your island, do you still have a boat now, the officers and soldiers will come to sweep you once in half a month, I think any businessman is brave enough to come and do business. I have checked this island, and in the bottom book of the Ming Dynasty, it is a desert island, and it doesn't matter if you can't collect taxes, I'm used to it. On the contrary, if you do business here, you will receive a soft hand every year just by collecting transaction taxes, and we will turn this place into a desert island, so that no one will come to do business, and that's it. What's the use of you occupying a place where birds don't? ”

When the woman saw that he was angry, she was not afraid, but nodded approvingly, "Your Excellency is indeed a formidable opponent, not only can you win on the battlefield, but also can reach a consensus with us on the core issues, as you said, this place can only be a desert island in your hands, and in our hands, it can become a gold mine." So why don't we join forces and run this place into a real gold mine and let it play its rightful role? ”

"Joint? I like your attitude, and we really should join forces and run this place into a gold mine. But before all this, I have a premise, that is, who is in charge and who is in charge! We Ming people all know a rule, people leave their hometowns cheaply. Leaving his hometown to flee the famine to make a living, when he goes outside, he has to bow his head and follow the customs. But you are obviously foreigners, but you want us to be on an equal footing with you, and even want to use your rules to replace the rules of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of attitude that we don't believe in the Lord and refuse to die, which makes you very embarrassed, what else can we unite? If you want to unite, you have to show a united attitude, and then you can talk. ”

The woman laughed, "Your Excellency's attitude is like that of your empire, arrogant and arrogant, and the actual territory of the Portuguese Empire is unimaginable. Our troops are not what you see, and in fact, if two empires go to war, your country has no very good chance of winning. I think that cooperation should be an equal measure. Maybe you look at this and agree with me. ”

She seemed to touch something on her body, and her mother picked up the slingshot vigilantly, but what this person took out was a woman's clothes, and threw it to Yang Chengzu, "Your Excellency should know this dress, right?" ”

The plain silk dress is not very special, but the fragrance of the non-blue and non-musk deer on it, Yang Chengzu is familiar with it, this is a piece of clothing that belongs to Leng Feishuang. The atmosphere in the big tent changed with the appearance of this dress, and Yang Chengzu's whole person seemed to become hideous in an instant.
