When Liu Daxia woke up again, An San came to visit, but was scolded bitterly.

The Governor scolded people for being sven farts, all kinds of dictionaries, and Anshan who scolded looked confused.

Then he began a hunger strike, and because it was too painful to break his leg, he chose this decisive way to come to this ruined body.

As a result, two days after the hunger strike, he heard the sound of the revelry.

When Ansan told him that Zhenjiang had fallen, Liu Daxia didn't believe it at first, but when Ansan explained in detail the general intention of the Huaxia Army in this battle, he looked at the roof silently, and after a long time, a line of tears flowed out like this.

As a traditional scholar, he could never have imagined that the whole battle of the Huang people did not revolve around the gains and losses of one city and one place, but saw the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning.

Liu Daxia is well-read, and he has never seen such a strong enemy, this group of people is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has powerful weapons, but also has excellent strategy.

Whether it is a field battle or a siege, whether it is morale or the heart of battle, the Huang people are far superior to the Ming army.

The battle has been fought so far, there is no need to fight at all, even if the Ming Dynasty does its best to recapture Zhenjiang and open up the Grand Canal.

It can't stop the offensive of the Tu people in the south of the Yangtze River, and if the Tu people take Nanjing again, then the southeast half of the wall will be overturned immediately.

Even if it can defeat the Huang people, the nine sides are bound to be full of holes, and I am afraid that the people in various places will be full of grievances, and the national strength of the entire Ming Dynasty will be consumed.

At that time, the civil unrest will be everywhere, and the Tatars will take advantage of the situation to sit big, and the world of the Ming Dynasty will be suddenly corrupted.

At this moment, Liu Daxia regretted it, and he still underestimated the Huang people.

If he knew that this was the result, then he would rather not disturb this pool of water in Eastern Qin.

Right now, the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty was cut off by Dongqin, as long as the grain did not enter the Beijing Division, within three months, Jiubian and the Beijing Division would have to run out of food.

The more I thought about Liu Daxia, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help but cry with my head in my arms.

In order to prevent Liu Daxia from doing stupid things, there were two soldiers standing next to him day and night, and these two soldiers couldn't help but sympathize with this old man when they heard this heart-rending cry, but what else could they do, if they lost, they lost!

"People who are dozens of years old, what are you crying about?" The full-time nurse came over again, still carrying a bowl of porridge.

It was rare that Liu Daxia didn't get angry, but he still cried bitterly, and tears and snot flowed down together.

After a while, An San walked in, and after waving his hand to let the others retreat, he learned from Mingren and said: "Lord Liu, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and you don't have to be so sad!" ”

Liu Daxia sobbed and waved his hand and said, "I have no shame to live, I only want to die!" ”

An San couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Lord Liu, we said before the war that Eastern Qin is not going to destroy the Ming Dynasty, we are just forcing the Ming Dynasty to change!" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Daxia asked.

"The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the Heavenly Empire has been in power for a long time, so it is inevitable to rest on its laurels! Let me ask my lord, did you take our Dongqin in your eyes before the war? ”

Liu Daxia was silent, although he felt that Dongqin was a disaster, but at the beginning, he really didn't take this group of barbarians in his eyes.

An San smiled and continued: "My lord said that the monarch of the Ming Dynasty always wants to live behind closed doors, and feels that the surroundings are barbarians, and if this kind of thinking does not change, it will always suffer. There are so many countries and races in this world that can survive in just eight words! ”

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest!"

These eight words were like a thunderclap, Liu Daxia stopped his tears, looked at An San and said, "Then you Dongqin, what do you want to turn into my Daming?" ”

"It's nothing more than trade, so that the Ming Dynasty can join the economic system of Eastern Qin!"

"What is an economic system?"

An San thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about this, but it's like a workshop, we Dongqin are responsible for production, and you Daming are responsible for providing raw materials and markets." ”

"You guys are plundering my Daming!"

"Definitely!" An San smiled and said: "Cotton, linen yarn, this kind of thing grows in the ground, and the people of the Ming Kingdom plant more, so naturally they sell it for more money." And selling it to Dongqin for production, they can buy cheaper cloth, so that more people can wear clothes, how can this make the plundering of the Ming Kingdom, this is clearly a win-win situation! ”

"And there are so many displaced people in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is handed over to our Dongqin, we guarantee that the arrangements will be properly made, and the Ming Dynasty will also be able to benefit, which is equivalent to giving the people who can't survive a way out, isn't this also a good thing?"

"Don't think that the old man doesn't know what you're thinking! If you kidnap more good people, you will inevitably come to invade my Ming Dynasty again in the future! ”

"Lord Liu said this, so he asked me if Dongqin has the ability to overthrow the Ming Dynasty now?" An San asked with a smile.

Liu Daxia didn't speak, and now Dong Qin Nu is working hard, I'm afraid that Daming is really going to finish.

Even though the territory is vast and the population is trillions, as long as the imperial court is cut off from taxation and the finances collapse, it will not be able to maintain all parties.

"Then why didn't you overthrow Daming immediately?"

"I can't guess this, but my lord said that the plate of Eastern Qin is too big and there are too few cadres, rather than fighting with the Confucian scholars, it is better to maintain a stable Ming Dynasty, which is in line with our long-term interests."

Liu Daxia thought about it, and a deeper fear flooded into his heart, if the plate of Eastern Qin was bigger and there were more cadres, wouldn't he be able to govern this big territory with the same set of Eastern Qin, and then it would be to change Xia with raze!

"So Lord Liu still eats well! Maybe you need to negotiate a peace talk! Yasan added.

Liu Daxia continued to be silent, but his mind was sharply calculating, dying was the easiest thing, but he felt that he couldn't die like this.

Before he died, he still wanted to serve the court for the last time, and now he already knows a lot about the Huang people, and almost all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are still living in dreams, and there are some things that he must do.

"Bring the rice, and a pot of wine!" After a long time, Liu Daxia spoke.

…………

Dongqin, Yangang.

Since the start of the war, the front page of Huaxia Daily has been almost full of good news.

Due to a certain lag, the news was reported three days after Zhenjiang's break.

The first to react was the stock exchange, and the door was squeezed through by the merchants.

After Ningbo was breached, Ningbo maritime merchants once again gathered in and out of Yangang, but found that the situation in the stock market had changed.

They are extremely optimistic about the future, and they have spent money to buy shares of the company.

At present, the stock price of the development company has reached an extremely outrageous price, but it is still priceless.

After the news of Zhenjiang's breakdown came out, Ningbo businessmen once again exerted their power, buying more and more orders, and the price became higher and higher.

Yan Zheng sat in the red room, and after finding out the situation in the stock market, he immediately asked Yumo and Lan Ya to take people to sell some of them.

He is very happy now, a war not only levies a large amount of "military spending", but also makes him a lot of money in the stock market.

Not to mention that the war stimulated production, so that various factories were equipped with additional equipment.

At present, three battalions have also landed in Songjiang Province, and are destroying the local cotton cloth industry, as long as the war is over, Dongqin cotton cloth will rise rapidly.

The benefits of a war can make Dongqin eat dividends for many years.

Especially when he saw the news of Liu Daxia's capture, Yan Zheng was even more smiling, it was time to announce the end of the war.

The terms of the peace agreement have also been discussed by the House of Representatives many times, and five major points have finally been determined:

1. Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Haiyang, and Tianjin are open to treaty ports.

2. The scope of navigation rights for inland waterways such as the Yangtze River, Xijiang River, and Wusong River.

3. Customs shall be established at treaty ports, which shall be jointly managed by the Huaxia State and the Ming State.

4. The Huaxia State has the right to recruit workers within the territory of the Ming State, and each of them shall be charged 200 wen in customs duties.

5. The taxes and fees paid for the export and import of goods by ships of China to trade in the Ming Kingdom shall be in accordance with the present statutory register.

According to later generations, after the Ming Dynasty signed this treaty, it would lose its tariff autonomy and the right of inland navigation, but other than that, there would be no superfluous effects.

If you have to say it, this treaty is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, where private smuggling is so rampant, cannot collect a dime of taxes. In other words, if this treaty is not signed, the Ming Dynasty will not have the autonomy of tariffs.

……

Two days later, the court and the ministers passed the peace resolution and sealed, Yan Zheng officially signed and sealed, and Dongqin sent a credential to the Ming Dynasty.
