Zhuge Fengye's news was really not bad, just as he stepped on the return boat, an old-fashioned fortune boat carrying the governor of the Yamen General Affairs Bureau of the Governor Fan Yang (Luo) Liao (Guo) An (South) Zhen (La) Myanmar (Dian) Branch Director Zong Youfang had already sailed into the mouth of the Fuliang River under the escort of the Beihe Boat Master.

The so-called Phu Liang River was the Red River in the future, and the capital of Thang Long (Hanoi) of the Truong Li Dynasty was on the south bank of this river.

The Fuliang River has many forks in its downstream impact plain into the sea, because the Zheng lord who mastered the Li Wei Dynasty almost never dredged the river, most of the tributaries can only pass the sampan, Changlong and other flat-bottomed boats, only the three estuaries of Bala, Tai'an, and Zongyi are still quite open, the water level is deep enough, and the medium-sized sea ships between 3,000 and 7,000 materials can sail in, and Zong Youfang's envoy ship is the line of the main channel Bala estuary.

Because Zheng Zhu had never allowed foreign ships to sail into the Fuliang River before, even Zheng Zhu's Taixi sponsor, the Dutch East India Company, was only allowed to trade in the harbor cities of Rongshi, Cen Shan, and Hai Duong, so the ship almost blatantly measured the depth of the channel and the speed of the water along the way. Master Zheng, who was helpless about this, had no choice but to let it go.

No matter how far the voyage was, no matter how slow the voyage was, there was always a time when the ship finally docked at the river port outside Thang Long City. Although the person who came was only a mere Zhengliupin director with the title of inspector, and he was not an important minister of Ming Zheng at all, but because Zhongxing Li was a minister to the Ming Dynasty, and the Zheng lord called Zheng Kezhang a nephew, the main government sent an attendant and an old man to greet him.

The so-called attendant is one of the auxiliary officials of the five prefectures, the supreme ruling body of Lord Zheng, and the auxiliary officials of the five prefectures include the attendants, the attendants, the five government affairs, and the five government offices. Among them, the attendants and accompaniments are not officials, but the identity titles of participating in the national policy, and the person who serves can be Shangshu, Shilang, or the imperial history and the like, the difference between the two is that the status of the servant is higher, for the prime minister, and the attendant is generally the third or fourth official, and is the deputy prime minister. As for the five prefectures, it is the abbreviation of the five military governors' offices, and the government affairs and government affairs are the highest military attachés participating in national affairs.

The so-called national elders refer to the old ministers of Dessau, who are basically close to the age of Zhishi, and act as the think tank of Zheng in the name of participating in the imperial government, just like the four assistants arranged by Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu for their respective children and grandchildren.

"King Dingnan is too polite." Faced with such a standard of reception, Zong Youfang could only pretend to be sincerely afraid. "How can this be made, it's really rude, I can't help it, I can't help it."

"My lord is an angel of the kingdom, I am a small country, and my lord is the king of Dingnan and the nephew of Prince Xia, so it should be doubly grand." As a companion of Hu Fanfu, this attendant exerts a relentless tongue, and it is also thanks to Annan that he has always accepted Chinese culture, and this attendant is even more fluent in Chinese, but the accent is a little strange, very similar to Cantonese people trying to curl their tongues and speak Nanjing Mandarin. "Your Excellency, you're welcome."

Zong Youfang still had to shirk, and the elder Li Enguang on the side smiled and said, "Lord Angel, my lord is already waiting." ”

As the so-called ginger is old and spicy, as soon as Li Enguang said this, Zong Youfang had no choice but to accept the standard treatment half-pushed.

It is very strange to say that the name of the Annamite people must be a common character in the middle, and all the men of the family must use this general character for generations. For example, Li Enguang's grace is a common word, and his descendants will be called Li En, just to avoid the name of the ancestors, the name of the descendants becomes more and more strange, and when he can't find a name to come up with, he adds a part to the last word, and finally makes no one understand, so he can only read half of it.

Of course, Zong Youfang didn't dare to sit on an elephant, and there were few mules and horses in Annan, so in the end he sat in a sedan chair. The sedan chair is not something that anyone can sit on in Beihe, and the average petty official is to get a slip pole or something, and only a certain grade can be carried by two people, as for the four-person lift, it is already the level of a very human minister, and the eight-lift sedan chair is beyond the system.

Zong Youfang naturally sat on the four-person carry, and even some of his entourage were mixed with the two-person carry, so a group of people walked towards the city. Not to mention the desolation outside the city, even inside Thang Long City, there are low buildings everywhere, which makes Zong Youfang have more disdain for this country that calls itself Little China.

In fact, Zong Youfang is a little biased, there are naturally luxurious buildings in Thang Long City, Lord Zheng's palace, Emperor Li's palace and the mansions of many ministers, which one is not magnificent, but he didn't see it, it can be said that he can't see Mount Tai. Of course, this does not mean that Bac Ha is strong, in fact, every qiē in Thang Long City is built on the flesh and blood of the people of Bac Ha, it can be said that it is precisely because of poverty that there are a large number of ordinary people who do not have enough to eat, Bac Ha, Quang Nam and even Annam and Vietnam in different time and space have the power to continue to expand outward. A large number of displaced people went abroad to pioneer land, encroached on the territories that were pioneered by foreign countries, and then sent displaced people to encroach again, and if they could not do so, they would fight a war to seize land.

Although Li Enguang said that Zheng Zhu was waiting, in fact, it was impossible for Zheng Zhu to meet Zong Youfang with dignity, and Zong Youfang came from afar, so he had to be sent to the State Guest House for the first time.

In order to welcome the arrival of Zong Youfang, Lord Zheng specially allocated a mansion to be converted into a guest house, but the prosperous area of the city has been occupied by relatives and nobles, so the courtyard is quite remote.

Of course, this cannot rule out the possibility that Lord Zheng deliberately arranged this way in order to send troops to wait outside the gate, so as to cut off the possibility of Zong Youfang's contact with the hidden anti-Zheng forces in Beihe. It must be known that Beihe, like Ming Zheng, is the main weak and the minister is strong, and it cannot be said that there is no suspicion at all, and it is reasonable to sit down and take precautions.

After Zong Youfang moved in, Lord Zheng sent someone to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the next morning, the Honglu Temple of the Zhongxing Li Dynasty sent someone to meet Zong Youfang.

The Li Wei Dynasty originally imitated the system of Qing officials, and there were six departments of officials, rites, households, soldiers, workers, and criminals, and six temples such as Dali, Taichang, Guanglu, Taifu, Honglu, and Shangbao, as well as a series of government offices such as Hanlin Academy, East Pavilion, Guozijian, National History Academy, Sitianjian, Tai Hospital, and Secretary Supervisor.

However, after the reign of Lord Zheng, the functions and powers of the six ministries were usurped by the six times and became an empty shelf, but fortunately, the six temples were able to maintain the original system because their status was not important, but in order to entertain the envoys of Ming Zheng, the Honglu Temple Zhengqing who came forward was specially replaced by the companion of the main house.

"Lord Mo asked the official what he meant." Zong Youfang and the other party exchanged courtesies and exchanged greetings, and smiled faintly, not hiding the problem of this Gao Ping Mo's descendant at all. "No, no, no, Master Mo doesn't have to explain, there's nothing to do." Speaking of this, Zong Youfang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and read it according to the book. "This official is ordered by King Xia to make the following requests to the main mansion." Mo listened quietly. "A, hand over Gaoping County and the land north of the Xuanjiang River to the Ming Dynasty, and the two countries will demarcate the border and have set the border."

Mo listened dumbfounded, but Zong Youfang's words were not finished at all: "B, open Duobang (Langshan), Hai Duong, Rong City, and Cen Shan as treaty ports to facilitate business exchanges between the two countries. The people of Daming have the right to live, buy land, and open shops at the port; The Ming people did not pay other taxes to Annam in addition to operating in the treaty port, and did not pay the extortion required by the local officials, which violated the criminal law of Annam, and should be tried by the Ming envoys stationed at the port and the local officials of Annam; The import and export of goods in Annan shall refer to the establishment of exchanges in various treaty ports in Daming to determine the price, and the deacon of the exchange shall be designated by Daming; In addition, the import and export tax rate of Annam needs to be set by the Ming Dynasty (i.e., it requires the power to set tariffs). ”

"This, where does this begin?" The face of Honglu Temple Zhengqing, surnamed Mo, was already blue. "This, this is impossible."

"Don't be too busy refusing yet, but listen to it first." Zong Youfang said quietly. "There's more to come." Looking at the angry other party, Zong Youfang continued to read by himself. "C, Gui Chao transferred to Beiju Luzhou, that is, Taixi Hongyi," Zong Youfang explained, and then read on. "The Gui Dynasty ceded the diplomatic rights of the countries of the Northern Juluzhou, and except for the Ming Dynasty and the countries recognized by the Ming Dynasty, the countries were not allowed to set up merchant pavilions and settle envoys in Annam."

This is to sever the relationship between Beihe and its largest sponsor, and by the way, to end all the rights of communication between Beihe and Western countries, and Mo Escort, who has forced himself to calm down, only asks directly: "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone." Zong Youfang replied honestly. "That's all there is to it for the time being."

Escort Mo asked again: "Can these three articles be discussed?" ”

"Only on the first day can be discussed, and the other two are only allowed and not allowed, and they cannot be discussed." Zong Youfang said with a smile. "In order to ensure the implementation of the last two articles, the Ming Dynasty will set up trade consuls at each port and a permanent messenger in Thang Long Province, and in addition, for the purpose of communication between the two countries, the Ming will allow Annam to be a permanent envoy in Guangzhou."

Mo asked again: "What will be the result if this dynasty does not agree to these three, and what will happen if it agrees to these three." ”

"If you don't agree to these three articles, the clan will immediately raise a large army to go south, and then the soldiers will be together, and it will not be possible to solve the problem of three articles." Zong Youfang sneered. "If you promise three articles, this domain still has two more to tell the lord's mansion." Mo made a gesture of listening, and Zong Youfang immediately turned the page of the paper in his hand. "If your dynasty agrees to the request of this domain, Jiang of this domain will give 2,000 bird guns and 20 big Buddha Lang cannons free of charge, and then sell 2,000 bird guns and a part of the big tribute and big Buddha lang machine to the main mansion at half the price of Dutch Hongyi."

Zheng Zhu's contact with the Dutch was mainly in the hope of obtaining funds and Taixi arms, and now Zheng Fan's two non-negotiable terms only prohibit the Dutch East India Company from setting up diplomatic envoys and establishing a merchant hall in Beihe with the consent of Zheng Fan, and do not include a ban on the continuation of trade between Beihe and the Dutch.

Therefore, Escort Mo's face slowed down slightly, but he didn't expect that Zong Youfang's words would make him jump up next.

"In addition to the above-mentioned military resources, the Ming Dynasty will also canonize the King of the South as the King of Jiaozhi."

Although Li Weichao called himself the emperor behind closed doors, he still regarded himself as the king when facing the Ming Dynasty, so the real meaning of Zong Youfang's words was that Zheng Fan was about to replace the Ming, and the nephew of Zheng Zhu should also follow the correct name.

The stunned Mo stammered and asked, "Then, what about the Li family?" ”

"If there was no Zheng family, the Li family would have lost the country long ago, and now that they have enjoyed peace for so many years, they are already very worthy of the Li family." A strange smile appeared on Zong Youfang's face. "If the lord doesn't dare to deal with it, send it to Nanjing to be a peace marquis."

"Then, what if the South Ruan clan sends troops to discuss the Li clan?"

"The best policy, your country went south and destroyed the Ruan clan, and if the two sides are unified, the world will be peaceful." Zong Youfang has already had a belly case. "The middle policy is that the Ming Dynasty also canonized the Lord of Nguyen as the king of Quang Nam or the king of Ri Nam. As for the next strategy, this domain sent troops to destroy this country and included it in the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
