Chapter 629: Negotiation IV

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Riel with a smile and nodded slowly! As for him to be able to agree to this condition that is not a condition, it has long been expected by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. However, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this is a very important condition. Determining the general direction, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent the Portuguese away.

Today is not destined to be a day to rest, because the next Emperor of the Apocalypse will see the Spaniards. Originally, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still struggling with how to join the dispute in the Taiwan Strait, after all, now the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong were making trouble at sea, and if the Ming Dynasty directly sent troops, I am afraid that it would prompt the two groups to unite. But now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that there was an opportunity, it was definitely a good idea to put the Spaniards in and watch the fire from the other side.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Farar has given you a salute!" The Spanish envoy was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard covering half of his face, and his whole person exuded a shrewdness, which was not a good character at first glance.

"The envoy doesn't have to be polite, you have come to Daming thousands of miles away, and you have worked hard all the way!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew in his heart that these people were from Manila, but he still said politely.

Farrar was in Manila, but he didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, and in his opinion, if it weren't for the defeat of the Armada at the hands of despicable pirates, the Ming would have been a Spanish colony. Hearing the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. If it weren't for the fact that the Spaniards had to face the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong this time, they would not have come to the Ming Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Farrar with a smile, what a good wrongdoer this is! In real history, Spain was defeated this time and returned from the Taiwan Strait to Southeast Asia. The Dutch won, but they didn't rejoice for long, as war broke out between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch.

In this war. The Dutch fleet that crisscrossed the sea was completely lost to Zheng Zhilong. Since then, Zheng Zhilong has completely become the hegemon of the Taiwan Strait, and there is no way to be a Spaniard or a Dutchman. Doing business here is to pay Zheng Zhilong a protection fee! Until Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Later, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, and the Dutch once again occupied Taiwan.

Just after this. Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong once again taught the Dutch a lesson, which is the famous Zheng Chenggong in history to recover Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong is also known as a national hero.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would not sit idly by and watch things continue to develop like this, after all, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong are different. Zheng Zhilong is an armed maritime merchant through and through. He has plundered the coast of the Ming Dynasty many times, and has done many things that only the Japanese can do. Later, he was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and when he saw that the Ming Dynasty was gone, he directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing army invaded the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Tian Chuan committed suicide in the chaos, Zheng Chenggong led his father's old troops to resist the Qing Dynasty on the southeast coast, becoming one of the main military forces in the late Southern Ming Dynasty. At one time, Nanjing was raided and surrounded by sea), but it was finally repelled by the Qing army, and could only rely on the advantage of naval warfare to hold the islands of Quanzhou Prefecture Xiamen and Kinmen.

In 1661, he led his army across the Taiwan Strait, and the following year defeated the Dutch East India Company's garrison in Dayuan, Taiwan (in present-day Tainan City, Taiwan). Reconquest of Taiwan. For Zheng Chenggong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has a very good impression, whether it is loyalty to the Ming Dynasty or national integrity, he is a masterpiece of a generation.

However, Zheng Chenggong is still a child now, and it is impossible for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to sit idly by and ignore the war in the Taiwan Strait. Whether it is from the perspective of opening the sea, or out of personal feelings, Taiwan must take it back! The Emperor of the Apocalypse will definitely not hesitate at this point, and now the opportunity has come!

Although the situation in the Taiwan Strait is complicated, there are traces to be found! The Spaniards and the Dutch would soon be fighting, and this was the perfect time for the Ming to intervene. Let them fight until they are both defeated, and the smile on the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse became even brighter when he thought of this.

Farrar naturally didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was thinking, and when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse sitting there smirking, it seemed to him to be a smirk, and his brows couldn't help frowning. He glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a little unpleasantness, and said directly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope that Your Majesty can hand over the Portuguese in Macao to us for disposal, they are all prisoners who have escaped from the country, and we hope to get the help of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't care much about Falar's attitude, and the more proud the Spaniards, the better. Hearing Falar's request, the Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately shook his head and said, "Envoy, this is not right, I will not hand them over to you. They live in the land of the Ming Dynasty, and they are under the protection of the Ming Empire, and I will not hand them over to you. ”

These Farrars were stunned, he originally thought that this was a straw bale emperor, as long as he said it, he would definitely agree. Farrar never thought that since the Emperor of the Apocalypse refused so directly, he did not hesitate at all. After being slightly stunned, he was angry and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, these people are all prisoners of our Spain, do you want to be an enemy of Spain when you protect them?" ”

Looking at Farrar with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not speak, because someone had already stepped forward!

"Turn into a barbarian, and be a! The emperor's words are holy decrees, and they are also what you can question? I don't know how thick the sky is, and I am your enemy? You deserve it too! It's shameless to dare to speak out here in an uncivilized place! "As the so-called lord humiliates the death of his ministers, at this time Chen Hong stared at Faral, as long as the Emperor of the Apocalypse gave an order, this person would be a dead man!

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, signaled Chen Hong to retreat, and said, "What I am is the attitude of the Great Ming!" As long as I say it, it is decided, and there is nothing else to say. If the envoy doesn't approve of it, then take it easy! ”

Being able to be sent to Daming, Farar has enough understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and he understands Chen Hong's words a little, and his face suddenly becomes a little ugly! Later, what the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, he was completely obedient to his orders. After a few changes in his face, Farrar sighed in despair.

Now is not the time to punish the momentary anger, I am here to unite the allies, if the Ming Dynasty does not send troops to help, I am afraid that my own people will not be able to defeat the Dutch.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Farrar has no intention of challenging your authority, and if there is anything wrong with his words, I hope that His Majesty the Merciful will forgive Farlar. Since this is the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, Farlar naturally wants to be respected! "People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads! At this time, Farrar told himself that when Spain regained its strength, he must turn Daming into a Spanish colony!

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know what Farlar was thinking, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. Glancing at Falar, he said directly, "Mr. Special Envoy, do you have anything else?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we came here when we heard that you were going to trade overseas. The southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty was not very peaceful, and whether it was a Japanese or a pirate, they all blocked the trade routes. Honorable Emperor Your Majesty, we are willing to thoroughly assess the southeast coast for the Ming Dynasty. Farrar had a smile on his face, as if the unhappiness just now hadn't happened.

"Really? There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that it is called reactive and unreactive, I don't know what you want from the Ming Dynasty? The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Farrar with a smile on his face and asked as if he was happy.

Farrar was sure in his heart that as long as this emperor was interested, it would be good! It was Farlar, who had prepared his speech a long time ago, so he naturally wouldn't be asked, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope to be able to get the exclusive maritime trade rights of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor will lend Quanzhou to us Spain, allow us to do business, and allow us to send envoys and garrisons. ”

Chen Hong on the side glanced at Faral, is this Spanish envoy an idiot? It's okay to allow you to live, it's okay to allow you to do business. After all, the Portuguese also live in Macau, and there is a precedent for a long time. actually thought about garrisoning troops in Fuzhou, what a brain!

The Emperor of the Apocalypse still had a smile, at this time, the Spaniards had asked for themselves, and they actually put forward so many conditions. This is arrogance, the destruction of the Armada has not been able to defeat their arrogance, if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy, the ancients will not deceive me!

"Special envoy, the exclusive trade right will not be given to you, as for leasing Quanzhou, don't even think about it!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse hated the word Lend-Lease, and in this life, he desperately wanted to change everything, how could he let Lend-Lease appear again. Seeing what Farrar wanted to say, the Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and said, "I have allowed you to do business in Kaihai, and as for the docking of warships, you don't have to think about it. ”

The bruises on Falar's head jumped, and he forced the anger in his heart, and an ugly smile appeared on his face, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, we are very satisfied with the right to trade with your permission. However, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor can send troops to assist us, otherwise, with our strength, if we want to clear the trade routes, I am afraid there is not much hope! ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew very well that this was what the Spaniards valued! As for the previous ones, they won't care if they can't get them. Those can't be promised, this one can be promised!

"Special envoy, this matter is okay, I will send the Ming sailor to cooperate with you. At the same time, please rest assured that the Ming Dynasty will provide the envoy with the necessary assistance, including armaments, food and grass, which can be regarded as a reward for clearing the sea frontier. Once the trade routes are cleared, we can start official trade! "The Emperor of the Apocalypse also knows when to be tough and when to relax, which is very important.

Sure enough, after listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Falar's face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief! After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we will definitely cooperate very happily!" Farrar smiled sincerely, but his hands were already clenched into fists.
