The meeting place agreed upon by the two sides was set on one of the small islands of the Caiyu Islands. The terrain is flat, except for guano and sparse shrubs, the island has a relatively wide view, and it is basically clear at a glance what small actions any side wants.

However, unlike the careful preparation of the others, the protagonist of the two talks seems to be relaxed and calm. Yan Xiaosong refused to be forced out of the field by an infantry company prepared by You Nanzhe, and landed on the island with only a few gendarmes and a clerk of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dressed as an agent. And Zheng Zhilong also abandoned Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Caijian's brigade of personal guards, and only Zheng Zhihu brought a few personal soldiers to the entourage on the island.

A small tent, a set of folding tables and chairs, a pot of tea, a few cups, the atmosphere of sincerity was very harmonious from the beginning.

"Brother Yan traveled in the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty as a foreign envoy back then, and his open-mindedness can be seen slightly. The kid was just a translator under Li Danmen's door, but now a few years have passed, Mr. Yan scolded Fang Xuan, and his demeanor is still the same, but the kid is trapped in the vulgar dust and does nothing. ”

After changing out of the armor and military uniform that he had been accustomed to for many years, Zheng Zhilong returned to the polite appearance of a young man in a long shirt when he first debuted, looking at the smiling face in front of him, and bowed his hand slightly. From the beginning of the meeting, Zheng Zhilong gave up his identity as a general of the Ming Dynasty and called himself a "boy".

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. General Zheng, it is estimated that no one expected that a few years later, you would also become the general of the Ming Dynasty, dominating the East China Sea and admired by thousands of people. If I had known this was the case, I would have asked you for a few more drinks. ”

Yan Xiaosong shook his head slightly, filled the teacup, and made a gesture of invitation, unmoved by Zheng Zhilong's politeness, but the scene of meeting Zheng Zhilong for the first time at the banquet held by Yan Siqi appeared in his mind. The image of the young man who was weak but extremely calm and witty gradually coincided with Zheng Zhilong, who had a wisp of mature whiskers in front of him.

"Good, good poetry! It's a 'talented person from generation to generation. Each has led the way for hundreds of years! Mr. Yan's bearing makes the kid admire. ”

As soon as such a heroic and hearty half-line poem came out, Zheng Zhilong was stunned at first, and then laughed quickly, and his eyes flashed with joy.

was praised by the other party like this, Yan Xiaosong suddenly realized, because he unknowingly plagiarized the verses in the Qing Dynasty poet Zhao Yi's "On the Five Uniques of Poetry", and couldn't help blushing secretly.

"Hmph...... However, a state of overseas Huayi and Diyi is selling Sven ...... in this realm" Zheng Zhihu behind Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly, and proudly clasped his hands in front of his chest. He glared disdainfully at a row of ornate military policemen standing like stakes in the distance.

"Zhihu Hugh is rude! Mr. Yan was already a minister of a country many years ago, and he is older than us, so you and I should treat him as brothers! Don't apologize yet! Zheng Zhilong frowned, turned around, and scolded his brother loudly, at this moment, he changed from a literary young man to a Ming general.

Zheng Zhilong's attitude suddenly made Zheng Zhihu hang his head, and the latter had to shake his fists a few times with his hands in a so-so manner. It's a reparation.

"With the authorization of my country, I have submitted a diplomatic letter to Mr. Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian in your country, I wonder if General Zheng has also been authorized?" Yan Xiaosong didn't care about Zheng Zhihu, who was so reckless in history that he finally lost his life, he just smiled slightly. Unfolded the diplomatic documents in his hand, "I should have personally visited Lord Xiong, the governor of Fujian in your country, but since General Zheng came to the meeting for Lord Xiong, and many affairs also happened to need General Zheng's support. Then I need to get assurances that the talks are valid, as well as ......"

Zheng Zhilong's face changed slightly, but after a few seconds, he also smiled. But the attitude was also quickly stern: "This official was sent by the governor to come to Futou Bay to inspect the defense, if it is related to the coastal defense of Fujian and Zhejiang, this official can bear it alone." I don't know why the Chinese and American warships crossed thousands of miles to the east and marched to the border sea of the Ming Dynasty? Why did the soldiers invade Dongfan Dayuan Island and disturb the military affairs of our Daming coastal defense and bandits? ”

The implication is that although Xiong Wencan is a local feudal official in Fujian, in terms of border naval affairs, he is still qualified to be arbitrary. Besides, who doesn't know who is actually at the helm of the Ming East China Sea now?

These tricks before formal negotiations, in fact, Yan Xiaosong and Zheng Zhilong both knew it, and it could be regarded as a draw.

"Hehe, let's get to the official topic. I will have General Zheng proofread the minutes of this diplomatic negotiation in the form of an original copy afterwards, and I hope that the copy will be forwarded to the Fujian Governor Yamen. Yan Xiaosong raised his hand lightly to the clerk's position beside him, and the agent who played the clerk quickly unfolded the pen and paper.

"Zhihu, you also recorded it in detail on the side, and sent it to Mr. Yan for inspection afterwards." Zheng Zhilong was quite curious about this kind of negotiating rules, and he had the impression that even if he had negotiated with Francois or the Dutch before, he might not have done things so meticulously and formally. Seeing that the other party is so serious, of course, he can't be completely mastered by the other party.

……

The talks lasted until near dusk, and apart from the occasional roar of Zheng Zhihu, the atmosphere of the basic negotiations was quite harmonious.

It may not be known whether the specific content of the talks can actually be put on Xiong Wencan's desk, but on the side of China and the United States, the minutes of the diplomatic talks have been stamped with a 3A-level secret. In other words, only a very small number of people, such as Foreign Minister Su Zining, Premier Qi Jianjun, and the speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives, are eligible to inspect the country.

At the evening dinner, sent by the expeditionary fleet to send a steam boat, Zheng Zhilong unexpectedly chose a European-style menu, showing his personal habits that were different from ordinary Ming officials. Brigadier General Zhang Rui, commander-in-chief of the China-US Expeditionary Fleet, attended the diplomatic dinner as the highest representative of the military.

"General Zheng, although Huamei is far away from the Ming Dynasty, most of the people are Chinese, and when it comes to it, blood is thicker than water. This eastward trip is half to solve problems, and half is also to 'visit relatives'. After a glass of wine, Zhang Rui's expression was much gentler, looking at the depths of the north of Futou Bay, revealing a trace of eagerness, "I heard that General Yu Dayou, who was garrisoned by Daming Tingzhang in the past, attacked the Japanese in this place, and strengthened my prestige in China. General Yu Dayou is a great general, and as a soldier, I would like to go and pay my respects to him in order to express the high respect of our American officers and soldiers in China. ”

Zheng Zhilong was slightly stunned. Even Zheng Zhihu, who had always been in a bad relationship next to him, made a sound of surprise.

"Yu Long Qi Hu", for the Zheng brothers, although Yu Dayou is not a stranger, but at the time of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Dayou, a general who had a bumpy official career and always offended people, was not as valued as in later generations, and his reputation was obviously inferior to Qi Jiguang, and even in many cases, Qi Jiguang has been "monopolizing and occupying" most of the fame of the Ming and Zhejiang Army.

However, in the analysis of military history in later generations, although Yu Dayou's achievements and fame were not as good as Qi Jiguang's, his military attainments at the strategic level were much higher than the latter. Moreover, the battle situation in which the victories obtained at that time were much more sinister than Qi Jiguang.

Probably the 17th century's cross-border entry rules are not as cumbersome as the procedures of later generations, anyway, it will take a day or two to collect the prisoners and booty after the fall of Yang Liu, and it is not a kind of intimacy to let this Huamei general, who has the supreme leadership of the Huamei Expeditionary Fleet, go to visit the scenery of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong agreed with a smile at the moment, and even specially assigned a number of henchmen to accompany him at that time.

……

Two days later, Zheng Zhilong's fleet, carrying a large amount of loot and prisoners of war, began to return home, but not long after the fleet departed. Zheng Zhilong summoned a meeting of all the officers above the general level at the flagship.

"Yang Liu and others gathered as bandits, in order to bring disaster to the Fujian Sea, Jin Penghai waterproof division searched for pirates this time and won a complete victory. Yang Liu resisted stubbornly and died in front of the battle! All the armies are brave, report to the court, and reward them for their merits! ”

Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the boat silently. And Zheng Zhihu beside him read out the "battle report" to all the officers present with great fanfare, and everyone was dumbfounded when they listened.

Hasn't Yang Liu been wiped out by the warships of Huamei Fanguo, why did he suddenly become the battle exploits of the Jin Penghai Waterproof Division? And I thought that I was going to come over to save Yang Liu this time. Even had a bloody battle with those gorgeous soldiers, but left amicably, which one is this?

Compared with Zheng Zhihu's rather exaggerated and smug expression, the military academies in a boatload were a little dazed. Especially the cronies of the Zheng family, they never imagined that Zheng Zhilong would return to Kinmen with these "fake things" this time.

“…… Fujian and Zhejiang border bandits are rampant, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and other bandit leaders are at large, at the order of the governor of Fujian, the general has an order, will do everything to suppress it, all the troops must go all out! ”

What was the big move that suddenly made the governor of Fujian and Zheng Zhilong make such a big change in less than a month? In this regard, most of Zheng Zhilong's henchmen have not seen it through.

"Zheng Cai, where is Guo Huaiyi hiding now?"

His brother was still spitting and spitting Xingzi was fooling the soldiers of the whole ship, but Zheng Zhilong walked back to the cabin and summoned Zheng Cai, who had been depressed for the past few days.

"Back to the general's words, Guo Huaiyi has fled to Nanao Island, Cháo Prefecture, with only ten boats left around him, and the letter asking for help a few days ago has arrived in Kinmen, and is waiting for the general to deal with it." Zheng Cai hurriedly lowered his head and reported.

"Well, when you return to Kinmen, you will lead your troops and horses to Nanao Island and take Guo Huai's first rank; Let Zheng Zhihu go to Ryukyu and Dinghai (Zhoushan Islands) to encircle and suppress Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin, regardless of life and death. Zheng Zhilong took Xiong Wencan's handwritten letter, which he had read several times a long time ago, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth and a cold tone.

"General, since then, wouldn't it be ...... all these years of hard work" Zheng Cai couldn't help but tremble when he saw that Zheng Zhilong actually planned to sacrifice so many chess pieces.

"Sooner or later, these people will be exterminated by the imperial court, now I don't kill them, and the gorgeous people will also send Xiong Wencan as a gift, or even borrow flowers and offer Buddha to the Yan family, and make a good calculation, at that time, what is the use of my Zheng family...... I have made an appointment with Mr. Hua Meiyan, and this matter in the East China Sea must be considered ...... the long term. ”

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he walked back to his cabin and no longer saw anyone, leaving Zheng Cai standing in place stunned.

……

Zheng Zhilong swaggered away, and Futou Bay and the Caiyu Islands returned to calm, but in a certain officer's cabin of the light cruiser Republic, Second Lieutenant Yan Xianping was locking himself in it and losing his temper, almost destroying all the decorations of this "sea boudoir" that had taken a lot of effort to arrange.

Sun Yang, who wanted to go to "exchange feelings", was driven out in disgrace, and it was privately said that Yan Xianping was angry at the "peace agreement" reached by Yan Xiaosong, vice minister of foreign affairs of China and the United States, and Zheng Zhilong.
