Chapter 593 Didn't You Say We Can Negotiate?

After Felipe IV finished speaking, it was Xie Xuelong's turn to be silent.

It turned out that he was not the only one who saw the situation clearly, and the other party was not an idiot either.

Why did he come to this foreign country with his fleet all the way?

After all, it's for profit.

To put it more simply, it is money.

The expenses of the army need money, the life of the people needs money, and the development of the country needs money.

Daming's population will grow explosively with the spread of His Majesty's various policies. In His Majesty's words, if there are not enough resources, they will rob, steal, and cheat.

Between countries, there is no need to talk about integrity, only interests.When it's time to make a move, make a move, and when it's time to turn your face, turn your face.

Although it sounds like a rogue, as long as you can bring enough benefits to your country and people, being a rogue is fine.

By the way, what is the word His Majesty said?

Oh!
Great powers!

Become a well-deserved great power in this world that no one dares to challenge.

Felipe IV knew that the dragon did not speak, and knew that his words had played a certain role.

Then he spoke:

"The prosperity of Ming Dynasty is not as strong as it used to be. Your Majesty the Emperor is a great man, and after taking the throne, he made many drastic reforms, and it is the situation of Daming today. But this does not mean that one hundred or two hundred years later, You can continue to be so strong. No one can avoid the change of times and the change of dynasties! As a big eastern country, you seem to be caught in some strange cycle.

In your territory, no dynasty can rule for more than 300 years. Have you ever found the reason?

I don’t know how you view this issue, but I think it has something to do with the system.During this time, I have been studying your history.If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't ascended the throne, it's hard to imagine how long you could have lasted.The Tatars outside the customs almost suppressed you and beat you.Your officials are seriously corrupt, your soldiers don't even have enough to eat, and your people's lives are miserable. A huge empire is like a dying old man, ready to fall at any time.

But for some reason, Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly made this soon-to-be-destroyed empire glow with strong vitality again!I have to say, this is a miracle!And your Emperor Chongzhen single-handedly created this miracle.

I admire him very much, and I am eager to have the opportunity to meet him.

In fact, you are right, our country is not in a very good state at this time.I am also thinking about how to take a different path like you, and lead the country to become prosperous and strong in the face of difficulties and obstacles.But in the final analysis, it is still too difficult, and there are too many obstacles.However, your arrival gave me an opportunity.A chance to change Spain, a chance to keep Spain at the top.

Master Xie, tell me about your conditions! "

After a few words, Felipe IV spoke impassionedly, bluntly expressing his inner thoughts.

But true and false, or how much is true and how much is false.

Only he can know.

"As expected of the king who leads a huge empire, I really admire His Majesty's mind! I have imagined countless possibilities for negotiation, but I never thought that His Majesty would be so straightforward. Since His Majesty is like this, then I will not make rounds anymore. .

Your Majesty has also seen that our Ming fleet is powerful enough to sweep everything.But after all, force cannot be turned into money or food.As long as we can cooperate with His Majesty, our fleet can provide you with certain military assistance, allowing you to relieve the pressure of war.But at the same time, you must also agree to some of our small requests so that we can gain more benefits in the West. "

Now that Felipe IV had opened up his heart, Xie Xuelong didn't intend to hide it anymore, so he spoke some half-truths and half-false words.

"It's normal to have requirements. Cooperation is to get what we need. You put forward your needs, we put forward our conditions, and the combination of the two sides can be mutually beneficial and long-term. Tell me, what do you want?"

"It's like this. Before coming, our Majesty thought for a long time before we came up with a feasible preliminary cooperation intention plan. I have already asked Xiao Wu to translate it into your language. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Xie Xuelong took out a large piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and planned to present it to Philip IV for viewing.

Felipe IV asked his subordinates to bring over his preliminary cooperation intention plan, and before he looked at it carefully, his scalp began to tingle.

Too much.

It's densely packed with words.

Felipe IV glanced and saw one of them.

Open the port of Veracruz, allow Ming merchants to trade freely, and allow them to have their own armed forces.

I am Nima.

What the hell is this request! ?
It's fine if you are allowed to do business, but you have to be allowed to bring soldiers?

How could this be done?

Simply give the port to you directly.

I can't agree with this one, the next one.

An area was set aside in the port city as a lease for the Ming Dynasty. Within the concession, Ming merchants could freely trade, build factories, and recruit workers.Akito within the lease, while enjoying all due rights, also enjoys diplomatic immunity.No matter what crime is committed, it can only be tried by the yamen in the lease. Spain has no right to arrest or interrogate.At the same time, the Spanish army was not allowed to enter the lease without permission, otherwise it would be regarded as launching an attack on the Ming Dynasty.Within the concession.
Felipe IV is going crazy.

What kind of concession is this? It's too fucking outrageous.

Is this still called a concession?This is considered to have set aside a piece of land for them to come here to be kings!
No, I can't agree to this one, the next one.

Open all Spanish colonies and allow Ming people to freely trade, mine, open up wasteland, and plant locally.
I'll cross you a cross.

This one is even more outrageous.

Cooperating with the empire we have worked so hard to build, let you enjoy the benefits for nothing, do business if you want to do business, and mine if you want to mine?

Why?
Felipe IV put down the plan in his hand, and slowly looked at Xie Xuelong with a calm face.

"Master Xie, is this condition serious?"

"That's natural. I came here from a long distance. Could it be that I was just joking?"

"I really think Master Jie is joking. These terms are too harsh, aren't they?"

"Hard? I think it's fine."

"But I don't feel well."

"If you think it's not good, you can bring it up. It's not that there is no room for negotiation."

"Okay, this one is in the concession, Mingren."

"No, this should not be done. Your Majesty said, this is our bottom line."

"Then this one is open."

"No! You can't hang this one either. Your Majesty said it. This is also our bottom line."

"That"

"no."

Felipe IV pointed out several points in a row, but Xie Xuelong refused to agree to any of them, and said that they were all Daming's bottom line.

This made Felipe IV very angry!
"Master Xie, didn't you say you can discuss it!? Why can't you change one of them!? Ah?"

　It’s really interesting to think about these past few days.

　　When I was at work in the morning, my wife suddenly called and said that my son had a fever again. 39.4 degrees Celsius.I was very anxious at that time, so I took a leave of absence and rode a motorcycle to the hospital. On the road, I met a woman riding an electric bicycle, riding in front of me to the right.Because I was in a hurry, my speed was not slow, probably around fifty.Unexpectedly, she turned directly in front of me while walking, intending to cross the road.I was afraid of hitting her, so I hurriedly avoided braking, but the distance was too short, and both the motorcycle and I slipped out.I fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.As a result, I was originally going to see my son, but I had B-ultrasound and CT scan.

　　What a pain in the ass.
