Chapter 421: The decisive battle is imminent

The missionaries in the hall were about fifty years old, tall and stern-faced, with gloomy eyes, and an expression that looked like an executioner, much more like a clergyman. o

The so-called negotiations between the two sides have been full of contradictions and differences from the very beginning. The peace plan proposed by this Bishop Herrera, in Li Yanqing's view, is simply an alliance under the city. If you sign this thing, then you just admit defeat without fighting.

"Guardianship? I'm not mistaken, your religion also interferes in judicial, administrative, civil disputes, and land ownership. You're simply trying to take the prefectural order instead. If I agree to this, you might as well just take the seal away. ”

"Dear Mr. Liu, I have to express my regret. It is our sacred mission to protect the faithful from the persecution of the infidels. This is the bottom line of the church, and we have no room for accommodation on this point. ”

"Allowing the Spaniards to enter Canton, and at the same time demanding extraterritoriality, and not allowing Ming merchant ships to sail to Luzon, is also the bottom line of the Church? And this normal trade that allows Fleur, what's going on? ”

"That is the will of His Excellency Alfonso, and I am only responsible for conveying it. But for the sake of peace between our two countries, and for the security of the whole of Canton, I hope that Your Excellency will carefully consider these terms. In fact, the content of these treaties has been carefully considered by us to be completely reasonable and appropriate, and there is no room for bargaining. All you have to do is sign it and go and execute it, and it will bring you peace. I hope that you will seriously consider my opinion and join the Catholic Church, which will be more helpful for our future cooperation. ”

"So what's the deal with this reparation? It seems like we're not at war yet. How did the loss of military spending come about? ”

"In order to prepare for this large-scale military operation, the Empire has already consumed a huge amount of military funds. In fact. We only ask your country to compensate 800,000 taels for military expenses, and we have already considered your country's future cooperation with China. on the payment method. We can be a little more flexible. For example, if a suitable church is built in Xiangshan County, we will consider converting it into the war reparations. If you can consider joining the Catholic Church, then we can continue to negotiate the price. ”

"That's enough." Li Yanqing slapped the table, and Huo Erqi said, "In the past, there were unscrupulous descendants like emperors in the land of Shenzhou, but I am a Ming dynasty and have never sent out troops. You take this treaty back and tell Governor Alfonso that as long as the Ming Dynasty has me Liu a certain day, this kind of hellish treaty. I will never sign. I once heard a saint say that if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace. Foreigners can find a port to set up a few cannons, and we will never be born. As for the church, we welcome businessmen and all missionaries. But the premise is that we must abide by our rules and be used by the imperial court. On your heads is the sky of my Ming Dynasty, and under your feet is the earth of my Ming Dynasty. We have to follow our statutes. We welcome the well-behaved clergy, if you want to interfere in the county government, I will tear down one if you want one, if you want a war. I'm going to send you all to Hell, don't be unprepared! ”

"Your Excellency, I want you to be responsible for what you say. This time, our country mobilized 20,000 elite soldiers. A large fleet, supplemented by hundreds of thousands of indigenous troops. There are enough troops to level your Guangzhou. Turn your little city into ruins. You're ready. Have you borne the wrath of the Lord? ”

"I don't have hundreds of thousands of troops, only tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of boat divisions, and those who want to come to do business, I welcome them with both hands. If you want to come to war, then I will send him to Hades. You go back and tell Alfonso that if he wants any benefit, he can only get it with his own hands. What you can't get on the battlefield, don't think about at the negotiating table. Don't you just want to go to war, the lord is waiting for him here, and it's the grandson who doesn't come! ”

A meeting ended in a short and intense atmosphere, and Li Yanqing returned to his inner house, still with a look of injustice on his face. Qin Ruizhu now has a body, and she is very satisfied, and she rarely interferes in official affairs, but when she saw Xianggong's appearance, she hurriedly said: "Xianggong doesn't have to be angry, that Yiren is rude, don't be angry." But since he threatens each other with soldiers, he must have been well prepared, so you must be careful. ”

"yes. Judging from the information sent to us recently, it seems that there is also a fleet of not weak forces on the Luzon side, and these people are real warriors, not comparable to those pirates and water thieves in the past. Hua Xixiang said on the side: "How to fight this battle, we women don't interfere, in short, what we want is for you to be good, not to be lost." ”

Zhang Ruolan said: "Aunt Hua's words are reasonable. Even if this battle is lost, it is only to abandon the official and leave. You have the credit for breaking the White Lotus Sect in front of you, what does the tall beard dare to do to you? If he chases after him, his own father will have a pen and ink lawsuit with him. But if you have three longs and two shorts, our family of women will not be able to live. ”

Zi Youlan said: "Uncle, do you want me to simply order my subordinates to assassinate Alfonso at any cost." As long as the leader of the Yiren is stabbed to death, he can always make his army chaotic and defeated before fighting. ”

Li Yanqing shook his head and said, "It's useless." The reason why your two subordinates weren't exposed is because they never delivered news to us. Whether they are reliable now, or whether they can still be controlled, none of us know in our hearts, do we? After all, the war still has to rely on a knife and a gun, and it can't be solved by daggers and poisons, which is why it is difficult for your Tiannu Sect to achieve great things. ”

In the past few months, the entire Heavenly Maiden Gate has completely collapsed. The original patriarchs were wiped out, and the remnants were successfully taken over by Zi Youlan. Her subordinates and property became part of her dowry. Even Zhang Ruolan promised in private that as long as she promised to help her tie her husband's heart and defeat those wild women outside, she would be given a name. As for the grievances with the Wushan faction, Zhang Ruolan also took care of them.

For the sake of this commitment, and for the sake of the unborn child, Zi Youlan has fully cooperated with Li Yanqing's work at any cost. The Philippine side has suffered heavy losses, and the transmission of intelligence is no longer as smooth as before. But she is determined not to care about casualties, even if all the Filipinos die, she must ensure that her man wins the war.

On Hua Xixiang's side, the Wushan faction had come to Guangzhou not long ago to ask for guilt. The head of the sect designated by the Celestial Maiden, through the guò dish cooking voting process, successfully announced that the old wound had recovered and died. The original faction in Wushan, which had been marginalized before, returned to power, and Hua Xixiang's identity was not only Li Yanqing's concubine, but also the head of the Wushan faction. Her junior sisters are now living in the inner house and serving as maids.

Liu Yeqing and she both have the feeling of turning into serfs and being masters, how can they let their husbands have an accident. Liu Yeqing said: "You can't fight, even I can't win, and you don't need to go into battle." When I get to the time, I will have one knife per person, plus my sister's slingshot, I will definitely be able to protect your safety. As for the matter of charging into battle and strategizing, isn't there that Yu Dayou? You leave these tasks to him, and you can enjoy them later. ”

"It's still Ye Qing who understands me, that's what I actually think. But before you can enjoy it, there is one more thing to do, which is to send you all to Yizhou. Although we have a great chance of winning this battle, we still have to transfer all my women as a precaution, so as not to suffer losses. Each of you is the flesh and soul of each other's hearts, and whoever is injured will be distressed. (To be continued!)
