Chapter 594

"Did Your Majesty misunderstand the meaning of discussion?" Xie Xuelong looked strange.

"Negotiation means that we can make requests, you can raise objections, and we naturally have the right to refuse, don't you think? Just like what you said just now, those things you think are unreasonable are precisely the reasons for cooperation The key. You rejected us all at once, so why negotiate?"

"But what you proposed is not a condition at all, but a shameful treaty that humiliates the country! How do you ask me to agree to it!?" Philip IV said a little excitedly.

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. Keeping a clear head is the basis of negotiation, don't you think so?" Jie Xuelong still looked calm. "Also, Your Majesty should be clear about something first. No matter what, what do you think our Ming Dynasty will do if it is not beneficial?"

"That can't be so harsh, can it?"

"Harsh?" Xie Xuelong raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "I don't know if Your Majesty believes it or not, but as long as we fail to negotiate, I will let you know after I go back.

The Netherlanders you call, who tried to put me to death the day before yesterday, will immediately welcome me to their place with gongs and drums.And I, too, will be Frederick Hendrick's guest of honor!Let me ask, by then, do you still feel that these conditions are harsh? "

"You're threatening me." Felipe IV's face turned cold, and he clenched his hands on the armrests of the chair.

As the ruler of the most powerful country in the entire West, no one dares to speak to him like that.

This thin middle-aged man from the east has already touched his reverse scales and offended his dignity!

"I'm just stating a fact. If His Majesty really thinks that I'm threatening His Majesty, then I can't help it." Xie Xuelong smiled noncommittally.

When Felipe IV heard the words, his face was so heavy that water was about to drip out.

If it was close, it could be seen from his tightly clenched fist that he was trying his best to restrain his anger.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

The guard standing aside also put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, ready to take down Xie Xuelong and kill him at any time.

"Your Majesty, it's still the same sentence. Negotiations require a calm mind. Since the opinions are not unified today, I will take my leave first and talk about it tomorrow."

Xie Xuelong also saw Felipe IV's anger and restraint, so he said goodbye.

Felipe IV gave him a deep look, nodded, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xie Xuelong turned around and walked out.

It wasn't until Xie Xuelong walked out of the hall that Felipe IV let out a long sigh of relief, and then loosened his clenched fists.

He was really afraid that he would kill this hateful Jie Xuelong if he couldn't help himself, but thinking of the consequences of killing him, he had to force himself to stay calm.

"Your Majesty, Mingren, you are too arrogant! How dare you threaten Your Majesty!"

Looking at Xie Xuelong's back, the Marquis of Babs gritted his teeth and said, other officials in the hall also responded, scolding Xie Xuelong for his audacity!Only Franco remained silent.

No matter how arrogant Xie Xuelong is, he is used to it.

If he commands an invincible armada, he will be crazier than anyone else.This is something that people who have not had close contact with the First Fleet cannot understand.

"If you had their strength, you might be crazier than them, right?" Felipe IV glanced at him sideways. "Let's all break up. If we can't reach an agreement today, we'll talk tomorrow. I don't believe Daming will not give in at all."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, most of the people in the hall were gone.

Only Franco was retained by Felipe IV.

"Franco, is Xie Xuelong so arrogant in his daily life? Or are they all like this?"

"No. The number of times I have been in contact with them is not short. Xie Xuelong has great ambitions, but he is easy-going, and he is not as arrogant as he is today."

Felipe IV nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that he is testing our bottom line. What do you think their bottom line is? Are these conditions serious and cannot be changed at all?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think it is unlikely that there will be a major change in direction. But we can start from the details and put forward some conditions that are beneficial to us as much as possible. However, Your Majesty, it is best to reach an agreement if we make some concessions. Otherwise, if Daming falls to the side of the Dutch, I'm afraid we will be really troubled."

"I know, you should go back too. If it is possible to get in touch with him again, we can talk about it tomorrow. One day won't make two days, and two days won't make three days. In any case, we can't let them fall to the Netherlands side."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Xie Xuelong went out of the palace all the way, only to see Xiao Wu who was waiting anxiously.

Since Felipe IV was frightened by their repeating pistols, he was only allowed to enter the palace alone, and a strict body search was carried out before entering the palace.

Xiao Wu was originally unwilling and wanted to protect Xie Xuelong personally.

But Xie Xuelong's words changed his mind.

Now they are in other people's territory, surrounded by other people, let alone just the two of them.That is, if they have ten or a hundred times more people, as long as people want to kill, they will have nowhere to escape.

"Master, are you done talking?" Xiao Wu walked up to him and asked eagerly as soon as he saw him.

"No." Xie Xuelong smiled and shook his head. "How can it be so fast? After all, it is a cooperation between two big countries. Even a seemingly insignificant event will have a significant impact. What's more, the conditions set by His Majesty are indeed unacceptable."

Although he also knew that the various policies formulated by Zhu Youjian were absolutely beneficial to Daming, but from the perspective of the other party, it was absolutely unacceptable.

The two returned to the residence together, and after lunch, neither of them left the house.Until the evening, Franco visited Xuelong again, and brought two bottles of sherry that he said were very precious.

"Master Xie, have we known each other for a long time?" After drinking for three rounds, Franco changed the subject and asked Xie Xuelong.

Xie Xuelong has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, so he never guessed that he would play the emotional card.

"Franco, I know what you are going to say. But no matter what our personal relationship is, after all, you and I represent two different countries at this time. I can't tell you what you want to know." Xie Xuelong looked at Fran sincerely Brother said.

Franco nodded, picked up his glass and drank it silently.

"However, there is one thing you can rest assured about. Spain cooperates with me, Da Ming, and we Da Ming will gain huge benefits from you. But at the same time, you Spain will definitely be able to get rid of the current predicament and become stronger. Cooperation, if we say If you just stare at how much others have gained without considering your own gains, then there must be no soil for success! What do you think?"
