Chapter XXXVI Negotiations

The two were sitting in the courtyard chatting leisurely and drinking coffee, when a female escort came over and handed Chen Jiaojiao a greeting note, a Portuguese ship wanted to come over to negotiate, and was parked outside the harbor, wanting to come to the island to negotiate.

"Let them come in and have a look, show some of our family backgrounds, and don't dare to mess around when they see our strength, okay, tell them to be in the square of the port, only in this area, otherwise they will be killed! Then I will send someone." Chen Jiaojiao preached to the female guard.

The female guards went out to inform the following how to arrange, in the square, a long wooden table was placed in the center, three chairs were placed on each side, and the personnel with status on both sides participated in the negotiations, gathering more than 3,000 pirates, holding all kinds of bright weapons in their hands, and hundreds of cannons and thousands of guns on the ground, the strength should not be underestimated.

After a little more than an hour, the Portuguese negotiating team came, thirty men in all, three envoys sent by a governor, and twenty musketeers. When I saw the formation here, I was also taken aback, it seems that the rumors are true, and the strength of this Palembang is not trivial.

The two sides sat down in the square, and the three female pirates of Palembang sent Poison Dragon, Black Yarn, and Fu Min to the side, and also brought an interpreter, who stood behind. The Portuguese envoy coughed, "On behalf of the Portuguese East India Company, I have been appointed by Governor McPartyi to negotiate. The Portuguese envoy, with a golden mustache and a high nose and a thin character, paused, looked at the three fierce female pirates, swallowed his saliva, and continued, "We demand, first, the unconditional release of our personnel, and compensation for personal injuries, one hundred taels of silver each. "What?

Black Veil stopped the poisonous dragon and said, "Let them finish first!" The Portuguese envoy sorted out his panic and continued, "Second, return all our ships and cargo, including all the belongings on board. Third, apologize to the Portuguese side, severely punish the troublemakers, and execute the leaders. Fourth, compensate us with 1 million taels of silver. This is a condition that we have set up, and if we do not agree, we will send a powerful fleet to destroy you. ”

When they heard such harsh terms of negotiation, the pirates in the audience blew up, raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill them, kill them, let them go and never return!" Five hundred musketeers raised their firearms and aimed them at the Portuguese emissaries, who trembled with fear and trembled their legs.

The poisonous dragon waved his hand, and the pirates put their hands down, "The two countries are at war, don't kill them!" The envoys' faces softened.

Hei Sha said, "Just now the envoy talked about your conditions, but we will not agree to any of them, our condition is that in order to take care of your face, we can return your sailors and captains, and the two ships will also be returned, and all the goods and property will be left, this is our condition, if we do not agree, then we will meet each other." ”

The three envoys bowed their heads and discussed, their faces were embarrassed, it seemed that they could not be the master, and this condition was not acceptable to them, it seemed that they had to consult with the Portuguese governor, the negotiation was fruitless, and the three envoys were ready to leave.

Suddenly, I heard the poisonous dragon say, "Keep all your weapons, or you will all be put in prison!" While ordering his men to disarm, under the powerful pressure, this group of thirty Portuguese envoys was disarmed, got on the ship in disgrace, and left in the insult and contempt and laughter of the pirates, this time not only did not reach an agreement, but even the weapons were lost, this is a shame, sooner or later they will have to be retrieved.

This matter of the poisonous dragon did hard enough, won the respect of the pirates, very domineering, the last time a punch was shocked by Xiao Lang'er, has not regained face, this time finally a little face, and has always regretted, why take Xiao Lang'er to show off, so that his head was awakened, he did it earlier, no, there was nothing, but he was favored by the island owner, and he didn't have any fun.

The three of them went to the Owner's Mansion to report the situation, and when they entered the Owner's Mansion, they saw the two of them happily playing games, and they couldn't disturb them.

Chen Jiaojiao saw them come in and brought them to the hall, and the three of them reported the situation just now. "It seems that a battle is inevitable, and if we talk about it again, the effect will be much better, and you go down and prepare, and try to sink the enemy ships outside the island. We first sent 20 warships to introduce the enemy ships into the sea area from Palembang to the old port, and then dispatched 30 ships to destroy all the enemy ships. Chen Jiaojiao pointed to the map and told them to go down and set up, check the situation of firearms and artillery, inspect the ships, and boost the morale of the pirates.
