Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 119 Unequal Treaty, Sign It (23)

Nalan Mingzhu, who was a scholar of the Wuyingdian University at the time, came all the way to Fuzhou, the forefront of the war in Fujian, which was a bit courageous.

Of course, he didn't dare to be an envoy to Mingzheng in person. He thought the pirates were immoral, and if they were hacked, it would be a big loss. He now has power and is comfortable.

After arriving in Fuzhou, the first thing he did was not to negotiate a peace, but to bring the eunuch who passed the decree to see Shi Lang.

On this day, "Four Officials" Shi Lang received Kangxi's imperial decree, like five thunderbolts.

The eunuch passing the decree said coldly: "Shi Gong, please follow the decree."

Shi Lang's heart was twisted like a knife, and he suddenly shouted: "Everyone says he is the Holy Son of Heaven, how could he be like this? Ming Zheng Hai's bandit ships are strong and powerful, it's not a crime of war, it's not a crime of war!"

The eunuch winked at the sergeants on the left and right, and said with a look of disgust: "You still talk nonsense when you are about to die, and you don't know how to accumulate blessings for your descendants."

Seeing the soldiers surrounding him, Shi Lang's first reaction was to run away!

He also thought that Kangxi would execute him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The only force that can accept him to defect to has only one choice, and that is the Netherlands.

It's a pity that the sergeant brought by Nalan Mingzhu didn't give Shi Lang any chance, and managed to control him.

The years of staying in Beijing have caused his martial arts to decline a lot.

Even if he was controlled, Shi Lang still didn't give up trying to survive.

He is an unbeatable Xiaoqiang and bedbug, who has been able to save himself from death many times.

So he doesn't believe in fate, he only believes in himself.

Even in the so-called hopeless situation, he still has to try and never give up until the last moment.

Even though he was tied up like a rice dumpling, he still moved like an earthworm.

"woooooo"

Shi Lang was still struggling when he was tied to a pillar.
The sergeant couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped Shi Lang hard on the face.

Shi Lang whimpered twice in pain, obviously stunned by the slap.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he stared blankly ahead.

Regardless of his state, several sergeants forced poisoned wine into his mouth.

Not even giving him a chance to say his last words was a pleasure.

It is embarrassing for Shi Lang to withdraw from the stage of history like this. After staying in Beijing for 13 years, he rarely seized the opportunity, but was taken away by Zheng Kezang.

Maybe Zheng Kezang didn't expect that Shi Lang, Ming Zheng's great enemy, would disappear so soon!
Zheng Kezang actually wanted to capture this thief alive, and then drag him to Caishikou, stabbing him one at a time, letting him die slowly in pain.

Giving poisoned wine is too cheap for him.

Maybe Shi Lang had his own responsibility as an admiral, so Kangxi didn't make things difficult for Shi Lang's descendants, he just demoted them to common people.

When the news of Shi Lang's death came out, the surviving people of the Fujian Navy all mourned.

why?
Because they were all surrendered by Ming Zheng, and even a big boss like Shi Lang died so quickly, wouldn't it be worse for them?
Among these people, Chief Soldier Chen Mang felt the worst. He was also voted by Ming Zheng, and he was a confidant of Lord Guoxing. Shi Lang still had a cover for killing his father and brother, but he had nothing.

"Forget it, let's find a reason to disarm and return to the field. If I lose again, maybe I will be the next Shi Lang." Chen Mang thought to himself.

The chain reaction caused by Shi Lang's death in the Fujian Navy will definitely make it more troublesome for the Daqing Navy to rebuild its strength.

Kangxi also considered this point, but he couldn't do without killing him. He was always known for his decisiveness, so he could only send this slave to the underworld, and he didn't know who Shi Lang would recognize as his master after he went down to the underworld.

Giving Shi Lang the death is Nalan Pearl's first task, and the second task is to negotiate peace.

Like negotiating peace with Zheng Jing, he used letters to communicate, as if later generations "like online dating".

The first Yihe written to Zheng Kezang was a little insincere. If he asked Ming Zheng to be a minister and pay tribute, Jin, Xiamen, and Yizhou islands would be granted to him, and he would be the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty, and he could also be rewarded with a princess. give him.

It is true that there is no sincerity, and you just want him to be a dog without giving anything?

Moreover, being the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty did not end well. Negotiations need to be discussed more.

There is no one who gives the bottom line the first time.

Zheng Kezang directly opened his mouth and wrote back: If you want peace, you should cede Fujian, pay 1000 million taels of military expenses, give Ming Zheng the right to trade in Guangzhou and Hangzhou, and stop the emigration of people in Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places.

Isn't this an unequal treaty?
Zheng Kezang doesn't think so. This is the defeat treaty. If you lose the war, you have to pay the price. There can be no equality. Fighting for nothing, truce in good spirits?

So, equality and inequality is a matter of position.

From Zheng Kezang's point of view, this is completely equal, if you lose, then you have to listen to me.

Zheng Kezang, who plays Europa Universalis all the year round, likes the negotiation part the most.

Especially after defeating a big country, we must try our best to weaken it, no matter how disgusting it is.

With such a harsh condition, when Nalan Mingzhu first received Zheng Kezang's letter, she immediately flew into a rage: "Zizi!"

Nalan Mingzhu slapped the table on the spot. This is not a negotiation, it is clearly extortion.

He thinks that the Qing Dynasty just lost its navy, not that it is powerless to fight back. The land power of the Qing Dynasty has no loss at all. It can be seen that Zheng only dared to nest on the island, so he asked for such a high price.

Seeing this, Yao Qisheng also comforted him: "Master Mingzhu, Wan Zhengse leads the army, and the pirates will retreat when they hear about it. Now that Quanzhou has been recovered, we don't need to negotiate peace with this bureaucrat."

That being said, Nalan Pearl has also inspected it, and the recovery of Quanzhou is just because they don't want it.

He was vague about Mingzheng's land power, so he didn't know how to negotiate the right conditions in the next step.

It is impossible to cede Fujian, and it is okay to lose money, but not 1000 million taels, at most 200 million taels.

The right to trade is not impossible, but Hangzhou is not. The rich areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the main source of Qing tax revenue, cannot be touched by Ming Zheng, this is the lifeblood of the country.

How can it be possible to stop moving inland, this violates the bottom line.

Nalan Mingzhu thought hard, and wrote back a letter: It is okay not to be a vassal, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the country. The Qing Dynasty promised to pay 100 million taels of silver, open the Guangzhou treaty port, and then stop here. By default, Kinmen and Xiamen belong to Mingzheng.

To be honest, Nalan Mingzhu's conditions are relatively pertinent, and it does not harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty too much, and Zheng Kezang can barely see it.

Of course, Zheng Kezang was still not satisfied, 100 million taels of silver was sent to beggars!
Then come another letter: cede Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, pay 800 million taels of silver for military expenses, and open trade between Guangzhou and Hangzhou.

This time it was relatively less exaggerated, but Nalan Pearl still couldn't accept it.

If he ceded so much land, Kangxi would have to cut him with a knife later.

There is no way to continue talking, he clings to the point of not ceding the land, which makes Zheng Kezang a little immobilized.

What if we can't talk?
Then according to Europa Universalis, add some war points and get some bargaining chips!
