Chapter 130: The First Mingying Peace Talks

After getting the letter of appointment, Li Yingyuan rented a courtyard in Shuangpu Village, and the Yamen of Haizhi County in Daming was officially launched. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In terms of the composition of the Yamen of Dinghai Zhixian County, Li Yingyuan was appointed as the Zhixian County, and Bai Xiucai, the staff of the Governor Yamen who originally helped him get through the relationship, was specially hired by him at a high price and temporarily served as the master, Tao An, the leader of the West Lake Group, was the housekeeper, and Xie Xun, the martial arts master known as the Golden Lion King, was the consultant, and the whole team was low-key but not simple, and it was very connotative.

There are still a lot of things to be done in this county, which is close to the commander of the light pole, and many of the big families of Dinghai have gone to Hangzhou, and they have even gone to the governor's yamen to cry out grievances and demand that troops be dispatched, which needs to be appeased; the English people in Dinghai have jumped up and down, demanding the opening of peace talks and the negotiation of trade, which also has to be dealt with.

Yes, the English approached the governor's yamen during this time, hoping to negotiate trade.

The Ming Dynasty sent sailors to crusade against the English some time ago, and then naturally suffered a miserable defeat, and then the context of Hangzhou City immediately reached a consensus, that is, the matter of Dinghai can only be solved by literary affairs, not by military affairs, in short, the breadth and profundity of the language is brought into full play.

As for how to solve it, it is naturally according to the old things of the Dutch.

More than ten years ago, the Dutch had just arrived on the southeast coast of the Ming Kingdom, saying that they wanted to start trade, and on the other hand, they plundered the coastal people, and finally some genius officials came forward to fool the Dutch and said that they could only trade after they settled on Dayuan Island.

Many officials believe that it would be best if they could follow that model.

A group of stupid people, Li Yingyuan can only slander a few words about this, many of these people are high-ranking and powerful, he doesn't dare to offend.

It's just that, according to this strategy, someone has to come forward to negotiate with these Englishmen, and this person is very important.

This kind of negotiation is inherently humiliating, and even if the English are successfully deceived in the end, the official reputation will not be better, and if it fails, it will be the best scapegoat, and all the blame will be taken, so almost no one is willing to do it.

The most important thing is that this person must be capable, and he must have an official body, and his level cannot be too low, Li Yingyuan sometimes thinks that Governor Yuqian agrees to become the magistrate of Dinghai County so happily, and he is secretly relieved, and feels that he has finally found a fool who is willing to jump into this pit by himself, or the kind that spends money to jump.

The official history of the English negotiations was Major Andrew, and the deputy envoy was Dr. Shepud, who also served as an interpreter, and this person was not unusual, and it was not beyond expectations.

It's just that when Li Yingyuan, as the official history of the negotiation of the Ming Dynasty, appeared at the negotiation site as the county governor of Dinghai, the expressions of the English people became very exciting.

Originally, after Bruce's report, the British high-level also guessed that Li Yingyuan was a Ming spy lurking in the British army, and even the author of Ping Yingce, but it was another thing to appear on the negotiating table as a magistrate.

"Regarding the selection of your envoy, we express our solemn protest. Allowing a lowly spy to be the negotiator of negotiations between the two countries is a serious violation of international practice. Andrew immediately stepped forward and roared.

"As far as I know, our envoy has lived in Dinghai and has also provided medical services to your army, but he has no record of being a spy.

If there is no evidence, it will be an insult to our Celestial Empire, and it is better for this negotiation to be postponed indefinitely. Li Yingyuan had already prepared and said with a smile.

"Do you need any proof for this, everyone knows that you hurt Bruce Wayne and killed John Senko and then escaped. Major Andrew said angrily.

"Evidence, Mr. Major, I would like you to provide physical or human evidence. Li Yingyuan said with a sneer.

"What evidence is needed, just get you back and avenge Bruce. A big man appeared behind Andrew, and grabbed Li Yingyuan with one palm.

Dahan's grasp of the wind is extraordinary, but he is a first-class master, that is, a third-order master of the Sanhua Gathering.

It's just that when he grabbed this palm, Li Yingyuan immediately turned out behind him, and gently hit the big man's hand, forcing the big man to kick back seven or eight steps.

Andrew and the others saw the person who came, but they changed color together, but they recognized that the person just now was angry, not angry, it was the master who had broken through the Dinghai County Ya before, and his martial arts were so strong that I am afraid that one person would be able to leave all the English people present.

"Okay, guys, that's the end of this pre-negotiation dispute, or how about getting to the point?

If you have to dwell on all kinds of details, then there is no need for this peace talks, and it is better to delay them indefinitely. "The deputy envoy of the Ming Kingdom, who is also the king of Zhenhai County, a subordinate of Zhejiang, intervened at the right time to ease the atmosphere.

Andrew and the others also knew that it was useless to talk about spies and other things at this time, and they just wanted to give Mingguo's side a dismount, but when they saw Xie Xun in front of Li Yingyuan, they knew that this matter was unthinkable, so they pretended to protest for a while, and still entered the venue for a meeting.

As soon as they entered the venue, the conversation between the two sides was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

On behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yingyuan accused the English army of occupying the territory of the Ming State for no reason, and demanded that the English army immediately withdraw from Dinghai, release all captured officers and soldiers and court workers, and never conduct any trade until then.

Andrew said that the English people to the Ming Dynasty were doing normal trade, and they would occupy Dinghai under the bombardment of the Dinghai Division, and all responsibilities should be taken by the Dinghai Division, and at the same time asked the Ming to lift the sea ban and allow English merchants to trade in the Ming Kingdom, and also asked the Ming Kingdom to cut off trade with Spain and Portugal, and only trade with the English in the future.

At this time, the two sides could not continue to talk, and the negotiations collapsed in less than half an hour after the opening meeting, and the two sides exchanged credentials before they slammed the door in anger.

When they got outside, far away from the English, Wang Zhushu grabbed Li Yingyuan and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it child's play that this meeting will end in less than half an hour?

Li Yingyuan disagreed, explaining: "On the first day of talks, there was nothing to talk about, and neither of us expected this.

That is, to make it clear that the carriage and horses say their own bottom line, to see if there is any possibility of taking advantage of each other, the real key thing is still to be decided by the officials on our heads, and we are just a mouthpiece.

Don't worry, as long as we don't disgrace the country, this errand will be done, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"When Master Li said this, I was relieved. The king pondered for a while, then arched his hand and said, "You are a popular man in front of the governor, and I will just listen to your orders." ”

Li Yingyuan smiled and didn't speak, this Wang Zhu's book is also an old fritter in officialdom, where do you not understand this, what you said just now is just to shirk responsibility, and if something happens in the future, you will have less responsibility.
