When the news of the victory in the battle on Shuangyu Island reached the Eastern Qin Dynasty, the Huaxia Daily immediately reported on the battle in the form of a front page.

The title of the article is: "My heroic Chinese army forcibly landed on Shuangyu Island and wiped out the entrenched pirates in one fell swoop!" 》

This article does not elaborate too much, but only records the entire process from the establishment of the council, to the arrangement of troops, to the attack of the troops.

He also explained in detail that this operation tested the Huaxia Army's ability to fight tough battles and coordinate with the sea and land, and also tested the effectiveness of a series of new weapons and tactics.

Although there are many professional terms, it still gives the people a deeper understanding of the Huaxia Army and a higher trust in this army.

The businessmen fell into a carnival, and the stock price of the development company rose in response.

There are also more than a dozen small businessmen who shaved their hair collectively at the gate of the customs, saying that they would buy property in Dongqin from now on and send their wives and children over.

Such a high-profile move not only did not attract ridicule, but made those sea merchants envious.

The style of doing what the people of Dongqin said and the courage to do what they wanted made them understand that the previous promises were no longer empty words.

In the future, as long as you follow the Eastern Qin people, doing business will be worry-free, compared to the Ming court, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

It's just that these big businessmen are not good to completely surrender, and there are too many bottles and cans, and there are more scruples.

However, they still found a solution, that is, both sides began to bet heavily, and they also set up a foundation on the side of Eastern Qin.

Therefore, the shares of the development company are becoming more and more expensive, and most of the time they are full of buy orders, and there is not a single sell order.

The sale and lease of vacant buildings have suddenly become popular.

The volume of transactions has also risen sharply, and many businessmen have taken the opportunity of exterminating pirates to seize the market with the banner of Dongqin.

The benefits of war were first embodied in commercial activities, and Zhejiang merchants were even preparing to write a petition requesting Shuangyu to be built into another port for trade.

……

In the red room, Yan Zheng looked at the late Ming envoy, and handed him the newspaper with some tears and laughter.

This envoy's name was Meng Hou, and he was just a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.

After confirming the decree to reprimand the Eastern Qin, the Daming Rite Department and the Honglu Temple discussed the candidates for a few days, and discussed the content of the will for a few days.

After waiting for a few more days to hit the road, and after more than half a month, the mission was allowed to set off.

Take the canal is not in a hurry or slow, and only after waiting in Hangzhou will you change ships to prepare to go to Dongqin, and on the way you learned that the people have attacked Shuangyu Island.

However, the mission had no choice but to continue to Qin, and as soon as it arrived at Yangang, the mission was amazed by this bizarre scene.

When he came to the Red Room to reprimand, he had no confidence, but let Yan Zheng see a joke.

"I'm sorry, if your envoy came a few days earlier, I wouldn't need soldiers on Shuangyu Island!" Yan Zheng apologized, but his expression was quite playful.

Meng Hou and the deputy envoy exchanged and read the newspaper, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "King of Eastern Qin, although you have used troops in this matter, you are fine!" What you are exterminating is piracy, and it has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, but you have achieved the goal of exterminating pirates, please withdraw from Shuangyu Island as soon as possible! ”

"Exit?" Yan Zheng frowned and said, "Since it has nothing to do with Daming, why did I quit?" I took this island from the pirates, not from the Ming Dynasty! Da Ming also suffered from the Japanese Invaders, didn't he? In other words, the Ming Dynasty should have issued a decree to reward me! ”

"This ......" Meng Hou arched his hand and said: "It's just Shuangyu, since the Taizu period, it has been the territory of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Heh, according to what you say, the Hetao region used to be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, why has it become the land of Tatar now? Is it said that the Ming Dynasty occupied it before, and it is the land of the Ming Dynasty? Yan Zheng asked rhetorically.

"The nine-sided affair is different from the coast! Although this pirate occupies Shuangyu Island, it can only be regarded as my internal trouble! The more Meng Hou said, the more unconfident he became.

Yan Zheng thought for a while and said: "If you want to say this, I took this island from the pirates, as long as you can prove that when the pirates occupied this place, they still recognized that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will return it to the Ming Dynasty!"

Meng Hou was a little uncomfortable, and he muttered, "Isn't King of Eastern Qin joking? The pirates have been suppressed by you, and there are still pirates to be found there, so that they can admit that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty? Besides, even if you find it, you can't recognize it, right? ”

Yan Zheng sneered: "Your envoy laughed, I, Dongqin, have spent a lot of money and food this time, and sent a lot of troops, which exterminated this group of pirates, and the Ming Dynasty also benefited from this matter!" You can't suffer from me, Daming enjoys happiness, right? ”

Meng Hou nodded: "If you want the emperor's commendation, I can go to Chen for you!" It's just Shuangyu Island, please also ask the King of Eastern Qin to withdraw his troops as soon as possible! ”

"It can't be withdrawn now! The remnants of the pirates are still gone, and there are no good people on the island, so I'm afraid that as soon as we leave, the pirates will have to come back! ”

"Daming can send troops and add guards!"

Yan Zheng glanced at him: "Da Ming wants to garrison the army? What if in the future, you are like pirates? ”

Meng Hou was already angry in his heart, this king was really unreasonable and messing around.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, how can I do such a thief?"

Yan Zheng retorted: "I respect and trust the Ming court, but you should know better than me what kind of bird the guard under you is!"

"This ......" Meng Hou was stunned for a moment, the discipline of the guards was sloppy, and everyone knew that although this king was messing around, he fell on a rational word.

"Then the King of Eastern Qin, how can you withdraw your troops? Don't you really want to wait for my soldiers to arrive tomorrow before you are willing to give up Shuangyu Island, right? ”

Yan Zheng smiled coldly: "Why can pirates be entrenched, why can't I stay on it for a few days with Dong Qin?" Could it be that in your eyes, I, Dongqin, am not as good as pirates? ”

"That's not what the foreign minister meant!" Meng Hou said very seriously: "The king of Eastern Qin just needs to say, how can he withdraw his troops!"

Yan Zheng began with a big opening: "The ransom fee is one million taels of silver, and Quanzhou, Ningbo, and Guangzhou are open as trade ports!"

"It can't be!" Meng Hou stood up in shock.

"If you can't do these two things, I won't withdraw for a day! The Ming Dynasty wants to fight, and my Eastern Qin soldiers will wait for the Emperor and never give in! This Shuangyu Island was bought by my Eastern Qin soldiers in exchange for blood, and you Ming want to take it away with some nameless facts, it's not so easy! I am a dignified monarch, I am not as shameless as your Ming monarchs, and the land that the soldiers beat down will be lost! ”

"Shameless!" Meng Hou's face turned red with anger.

Yan Zhengmeng glared at him: "I'm shameless? The Ming Dynasty allowed pirates to run rampant, and the coastal people suffered greatly. But you, Daming, stood up at this moment and said that Shuangyu Island must be let out by our Dongqin, what is the reason? If you want to say shameless, I'm afraid that all the piles and piles of my Eastern Qin can't compare to your Daming Gong Gonggong! ”

Meng Hou arched his hand towards the north and said: "The pirates of Shuangyu Island, I have my own conclusion, this is a family matter!" You Dongqin is a foreign domain, when will it be the turn of the foreign domain to take care of my family affairs of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Yan Zheng laughed loudly: "Family affairs? Family affairs are to ignore the lives of the people, and let the government, the guard and the pirates secretly communicate with each other. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty claims to be the father of all the people, but there is a father who colludes with thieves and poisons his own people? I also told you that my Eastern Qin army has found a lot of correspondence, do you want me to make these letters public? ”

Meng Hou was a little angry, but as long as Dong Qin caught the pirates harming the people, he would do something about it, no matter how he quibbled, Dong Qin's trip occupied morality.

Yan Zheng continued: "Now that you tell me more conditions, you can't talk about anything, you give me back as soon as possible, so that I can discuss with the princes of the Ming Dynasty!" In just one sentence, if Daming wants to take Shuangyu Island, he must come up with some real money! ”

"Sending off!"

The two guards immediately made a gesture of please, and the bright bayonets were very frightening.

Meng Hou flicked his sleeves angrily and turned away without saying a word.

Yan Zheng silently spread out the official paper and directly issued instructions, asking the soldiers on Shuangyu Island to immediately build defense facilities and hoard grain and grass.

The contradiction with the Ming Dynasty must always have a point to detonate, and Shuangyu Island is the best bargaining chip for seesawing!
