Chapter 1179: Peace Negotiations
After leaving the city of Hangzhou, the official document from the Zhejiang political envoy department crossed Shaoxing from Hangzhou to Ningbo at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and it took only one day to reach the prefect's yamen in Ningbo and presented it to Qu Yutong. After Qu Yutong sent the messenger to rest, he returned to the study with the official document and discussed the next steps with Haihan's envoy Xu Ke.
Strictly speaking, Xu Ke can only be regarded as an overseas supernumerary special personnel, because after all, he is a member of the Xu family in Fujian, and he stays in Zhejiang to do things because he has been lurking in Ningbo all the year round and is more familiar with the situation here. And Haihan also took a fancy to Xu Ke's various local connections and entrusted him with the task of contacting the prefect Qu Yutong. After Haihan sent troops from Zhoushan, Xu Ke was stationed in the prefect's yamen in the name of a new staff member and was responsible for transmitting news between the two sides.
When the Haihan Army first arrived in Zhejiang, Xu Ke played the role of leading the party, and personally experienced the whole process of Haihan taking root in the East China Sea, so he was also very clear about Haihan's strength. Like his family in Fujian, Xu Ke also decided to hug Haihan's thigh a long time ago, and his identity is easier to be trusted by Haihan than the locals, so he has been in the wind and water for more than a year after Haihan entered Zhejiang, and appeared as Haihan's spokesperson on many occasions to contact all parties in the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Haihan. This time, he was sent to Qu Yutong's side as a temporary staff, which also fully reflected the trust of the Dinghai Port Management Committee and the high-level local government officials.
Qu Yutong also had nothing to hide from Xu Ke, and directly handed the official document sent by Hangzhou to Xu Ke for a look: "Mr. Xu, take a look, is there anything that needs to be paid attention to?"
Xu Ke took it and looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that the time has come, Master Qu can pack up and go." ”
Qu Yutong replied with his hands: "I have already packed my bags, and when the official explains the affairs at hand, I can set off today." ”
The confrontation between Haihan and the Ming army under the city of Hangzhou lasted for a long time, and the situation would develop more and more in an uncontrollable direction, and once the people above felt that the peace talks could no longer resolve the current stalemate, then Qu Yutong might even lose the opportunity to play. And he went to great lengths to find Haihan to plan this big play, the purpose was to stand up and play the role of "loyal minister to save the country" in times of crisis, and to keep his lucrative position as the prefect of Ningbo.
Of course, Qu Yutong actually knew that the Haihan people were willing to agree to help him, but it was just a move to push the boat along the water. Since the mysterious disappearance of three high-ranking officials in Hangzhou last year, although the voice of opposition to Haihan in Zhejiang officialdom has been a little smaller, Haihan still has not obtained official recognition for trade in Zhejiang. These senior officials are more concerned with their political future than with short-term personal gains, so it is difficult to get them to change some of the established rules with money. The only way to make a difference is to use force to create chaos on a certain scale in Zhejiang, and to force these officials to submit to their political futures.
