Zhu Jingyuan looked at the representatives of Spain and Portugal.

Two representatives of Britain also looked at it at the same time.

If the Dutch are not stopped, then the Spaniards must be stopped.

Guyana can barely be lost to the Ming Dynasty, but the Antilles must not be given up.

Prime Minister Pitt has already reacted, and now he will not confront Zhu Jingyuan, but directly say to the Spanish Prime Minister and the prince:

"You must not give up the Antilles, otherwise your route to New Spain (Mexico) will be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty!"

Spanish Prime Minister Manuel agrees:

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Daishi, it is impossible for us to give up the Antilles."

Zhu Jingyuan didn't feel surprised, and immediately changed directions:

"How about swapping the Greater Antilles for Texas? This will ensure that your route will not be interfered with by the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Spanish representative grinned when he heard this, this big food king really opened his mouth.

At this time, the Texas region was larger than the later Texas of the United States, and the east extended to the banks of the Honey River.

The northern part has no specific borders and is integrated with the entire Louisiana area.

And north of Texas is the historic Louisiana region, the area between the west bank of the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.

It is now a disputed area between the Ming Dynasty and the West, Britain and France.

Spain's surrender of Texas to the Ming would completely isolate the disputed region from the Spanish colonies.

This would be tantamount to giving New Spain a complete abandonment of the contention for this disputed area.

Spain, of course, could not accept it.

Spanish Prime Minister Manuel shook his head directly and said:

"It's even more unlikely, even if Spain accepts it, the British won't accept it."

What is now Texas, across the river is the American colony of Britain.

Texas was given to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming colony was across the river from the British, much closer than across the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

When the British Prime Minister heard the words of the Spanish Prime Minister, he did not hesitate to express his approval:

"Yes, Texas can't be handed over to Daming."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly:

"Then the question is, how are you Spaniards going to end this war?

"Say to yourselves, what price can you Spain pay?

"Let's take it and give a reasonable armistice.

"If you can't decide, then it's better to just stop fighting on the front."

At this moment, Manuel suddenly became a little stunned.

Subconsciously reacted, I seemed to watch the Netherlands exit easily, so I relaxed.

Da Ming's requirements are not so easy to meet.

Since the war was theoretically initiated by the countries of the anti-Ming alliance, the peace talks were also proposed by Tessie, and the practice had already been formed in the previous negotiations.

All the countries of the anti-Ming alliance had to pay a sufficient price for the armistice.

In particular, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Lucia were the countries that had signed an armistice agreement with the Ming Dynasty.

Under the somewhat nervous gaze of the British, Manuel reassessed the situation:

"Yes, the Yinzhou area south of Panama...... can give up ......"

Zhu Jingyuan immediately smiled:

"Do you realize now that I'm asking too much?"

Manuel's expression had become very ugly.

This time period was originally the era of the rise of the independence movement in Nanyinzhou.

In history, it was the news of American independence and the French Revolution that inspired the courage of Latin American rebels.

Then the Napoleonic Wars shattered the European order, especially the direct overthrow of the Spanish royal family, and gave Latin American countries a chance to become independent.

In this world, it was the ongoing world war between the Ming Dynasty and the Anti-Ming Alliance, which gave Yin Zhou's rebels and careerists a chance.

Spain and Portugal in this world have far more control over Nanyin than in the same period in history.

But the historical liberators of South America, Bolívar, San Martín and others, Pushkins and others also learned the experience of rebellion from the history of the Ming Dynasty.

They first gathered equally ambitious youth, secretly gathered strength, and then launched an armed uprising.

First of all, they studied Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and played the mobile warfare and sports warfare, and the scale of the rebel army grew rapidly like a snowball.

They also summed up the lessons of Li Zicheng's failure and referred to Zhu Yuanzhang's successful experience.

When the armed forces reached a certain size, they made peace with more ambitious magistrates and the bourgeoisie.

Recruit them into the ranks and establish their own court and system.

San Martín was founded in the middle of the Brazilian Plateau, north of the new Tianfu Huangzhuang of the Ming Dynasty, and in the western part of the Brazilian colony of Portugal.

St. Martin proclaimed himself king, and the name of the country was directly called the Kingdom of St. Martin.

St. Martin took the lead, and the other insurgents followed suit.

O'Higgins founded the kingdom of Pushkins in southern Peru, behind the Andes Mountains.

On the Mexican plateau of Northern Yinzhou, the rebel army led by Yin Dalgo, who was born in the church, established a theocratic and holy Mexican kingdom.

The young Bolívar was a rising star in the rebel army, but he grew very quickly.

He founded the Kingdom of Bolivarian in the northern Andes, in the middle of the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Granada, in what would become the Colombian region.

I have been leading troops in battles, and I have also sought to join forces with other countries to jointly overthrow the colonial rule of Spain, Portugal, and Ming.

Bolívar went south last year to work with San Martín in an attempt to seize the land of New Tianfu from the Ming Dynasty, but to no avail.

This operation was also characterized as an attack by the Ming Dynasty.

Daming's New Tianfu Huangzhuang, although it has also been harassed by them, this impact is relatively small.

Because the situation in Xintianfu Huangzhuang is more stable.

The immigrants of Xintianfu Huangzhuang were basically Ming people, and the original Taixi immigrants were driven to the Spanish and Portuguese colonies.

St. Martin and Pushkins are the descendants of the Tessie immigrants who were driven out of the Ming colony.

The environment of the new Tianfu is really a country of abundance for the farmers of the Ming Dynasty.

The land is already vast and sparsely populated, and there are countless lands to be cultivated, and they are all unusually fertile.

As long as you farm honestly here, a large family can eat and wear without worry.

I can't keep busy having children, and I don't have the motivation to rebel at all.

Instead, a large number of young men will join the army to seize more land on the northern border, while fending off the harassment of the White Oni Rogues.

This led to the fact that the main body of the Liukou was originally Xiyi.

Xiyi was originally discriminated against by the people of the Ming Dynasty, the key is that the images of the two sides are very different, and the other party has no way to hide in Xintianfu.

Therefore, the most serious places in the plague are basically in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies.

In addition to the kingdoms of St. Martin and others, other native Tessie rebels also established more than a dozen large and small dukes and counts.

These new monarchs, after each having their own base, began to expand wildly, sending troops to attack cities and plunder land everywhere.

From Mexico to Peru, from Brazil to New Grenada, most of the Yinzhou region is full of wolves, and the era of princely warfare is about to come.

The main forces of Spain and Portugal were fending off the Ming attack, and they could only cope with these rebels.

This is also an important reason why Spain and Portugal accept peace talks and hope that peace talks can be made as much as possible.

Spain considered abandoning Peru in the South Inch, or even the whole of South Inch, to suppress the uprising in Mexico and keep New Spain.

The most valuable areas of the Peruvian Viceroyalty in Southern Yinzhou, including the largest Potosí silver mine and the Chilean region, were now occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

The Viceroyalty of New Granada, though still there, is the lair of the most noisy bolívar, and it is extremely difficult to eradicate.

In this case, Zhu Jingyuan asked Manuel the price of the peace talks.

Manuel basically didn't think much about it on the spot, and directly gave the original planning too much and Nan Yinzhou.

Spain is handing over the land, whether Daming can suppress those uprisings and really occupy those lands is Daming's own business.

Zhu Jingyuan only asked for the Antilles and the California Peninsula on this basis, and the asking price was really not high.

Zhu Jingyuan's rhetorical question only exposed Manuel's plan.

Manuel's face was ugly for a while, and he once again calculated the current situation in his heart.

The Antilles are all islands, several times closer to the Spanish mainland than the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you do a good job of defense, it will be difficult for the Ming to land and capture.

At the beginning, it was the Ming Dynasty that suddenly severed trade relations, which led to the near-complete bankruptcy of Spain, and almost paralyzed the navy and army, before it was taken away by the British.

In the future, it will be difficult for either the Ming or the British to forcibly seize it again.

But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty can launch an offensive on the continent of Yinzhou, at the north and south ends of the Spanish colony.

If Spain refuses to make concessions, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not agree to sign a permanent peace treaty, and giving ten years is the limit.

When the time for peace came, a new war would begin.

Until then, Spain itself may not be able to hold on to its colony in Nanyinzhou.

Instead of letting those thieves take the land, it is better to give it to Daming in exchange for peace.

After careful consideration, Manuel spoke again:

"Spain can give up the California Peninsula as well as the Lesser Antilles."

This is another step back, leaving the main part of the Andrés Islands and giving those small islands to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, both sides will be able to enter and exit the Caribbean Sea on their own through the straits they control, and go to the Central and Southern Yinzhou on their own.

Zhu Jingyuan knocked lightly on the table:

"As I said before, if you don't give the Greater Antilles, you have to add the Texas region."

Manuel's knee-jerk veto:

"It can't be."

Zhu Jingyuan stretched out two fingers:

"Then sign a twenty-year armistice."

Manuel's expression froze again:

"You ...... Don't go too far. ”

Zhu Jingyuan did not continue to be aggressive this time, but had a seductive expression:

"Actually, the twenty-year armistice is very reasonable, this is already a generation.

"The traditional armistice is usually twenty years.

"There is no problem at all with a direct signing for 20 years."

What Zhu Jingyuan said was indeed the truth.

Except for the direct cession of land, other ordinary treaties are already relatively long in 20 years.

However, the Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans, Lucia, and the Netherlands already had long-term peace treaties that were almost permanent.

Other countries are likely to sign permanent peace treaties in the same way.

Signing a treaty for 20 years alone separates you from other countries, and this is not simply a matter of isolation.

This is to tell the world that I, a country that has only signed a treaty for 20 years, has a potential risk of war compared to other countries.

If you want to form an alliance with me, if you want to invest, if you want to immigrate, you have to be more cautious.

This is simply a long-term risk warning for the whole world.

At the same time, it is a very immediate threat.

Signing a 20-year treaty is actually a gamble.

Bet on whether there will be a fundamental change in the national strength of the two sides in 20 years, and bet on whether the other side will resume the war in 20 years.

also bet on whether the other party will break the contract within 20 years.

Because since there is a time limit, and the long-term peace treaties of other countries show that the other side has not achieved its strategic goals.

Therefore, it is possible to regret it after signing the contract, and directly tear up the treaty and declare war in less than twenty years.
