Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Brother Ying, no, Sir Ying." Since it was made clear that this meeting is of an official nature, the two people attending the meeting did not choose the businessman's attire like the last time, and each of them was dressed up, but one of them was wearing Qing court six One was wearing the official clothes of the fifth rank of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was wearing the official clothes of the fifth rank of the Ming Dynasty, which looked unusually uncoordinated. "I didn't expect to meet again, our identities are quite different."

"Master Qiu's words are not bad." Ying Tanong smiled and asked him to sit down. "I didn't expect that outside of Fuzhou, the two sides would have the opportunity to sit down and talk about recruiting. It's just that Master Qiu's boss is acting like a superintendent this time. Will it make the military commander in Fuzhou angry?"

"They talk to them, we talk to us, and whoever talks will count on his ability. As for the Fuzhou man who became angry?" A flash of disdain flashed across Master Qiu's face. "Brother Ying is also a well-informed person. Although the official title in Fuzhou is a bit higher, but when it comes to the favor in front of the emperor, he is really not enough."

"I'm afraid he's playing tricks behind his back." Ying Tanong knew that this guy was bluffing, but he didn't point it out, he just emphasized it deliberately. "This guy is a mad dog. Whoever blocks his way, it is impossible for him not to jump up and bite. Even if you are favored in Beijing, if you really get in the way, he is a border minister. Beijing will not give him some face."

"It's true, it seems that it's really not easy to talk about." Master Qiu understood why Ying Tanong used Yao Qisheng as an introduction at the beginning of the meeting, so he went along with the flow. "So, let's do something else first." Ying Tanong nodded, but before he could speak, Qiu asked first. "Brother Ying, I heard that something big happened to you?"

Ying Tainong didn't answer immediately, but offered a price instead: "Brother Qiu, let's make an agreement in advance, either one question should be exchanged for another question, or the old rule is that the one who answers the price, the one who asks the question has to agree first." It’s time to answer.”

"Brother Ying has been a businessman for a long time, and he likes to care about every detail." Master Qiu gave Ying Tainong a look with a smile. "That's right. Now that Brother Ying sits in Ryukyu, he can be regarded as a half-landlord. The so-called guests do as they please, so I naturally listen to Brother Ying."

"Landlord?" Ying Tainong smiled wryly. "Well, to be honest, Yu just wants to leave here and return to the army, but his grandson doesn't agree." After clicking on his background, Ying Tainong immediately raised two fingers. "There is a major incident in this domain, but Yucai just got the news. I didn't expect Brother Qiu to be so well-informed. In this way, twenty tons of spring silk." Twenty stone spring silk can be sold for 600 taels of silver in Ryukyu, so it can be said Ying Tanong's asking price was very high, but although he thought it was expensive, Master Qiu still nodded, so Ying Tanong lowered his voice. "The envoy of our feudal clan has indeed arrived in Nagasaki, and will visit the Japanese ruler and the ruling general as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty soon."

Master Qiu squinted his eyes and looked at Ying Tainong with a smile that was not a smile, but his heart was overwhelmed. He thought for a moment, and asked again: "You have always had contacts with Japan, but you only use the name of merchants. What happened this time?" I just remembered that under the banner of Daming, what do you want to do?"

Ying Tanong laughed lightly: "Brother Qiu, this can be the second question. This question is more expensive than the previous one."

"Brother, this is really a good blow." Although Master Qiu complained, he wanted to know the truth even more. "As long as the price is worth it, even if my brother asks for a thousand dans of spring silk, Yu will have to give it."

"It doesn't take so much as a thousand tan." Ying Tanong stretched out his hands and compared them four times. "Just two hundred loads of high-grade spring silk is enough."

Mr. Qiu immediately took a deep breath, not to mention the arrogance he just said, but after all, it was more than 6000 taels of white money. After thinking about it, he struggled a lot, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you , just two hundred loads of high-quality spring silk."

Ying Tanong looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, he summoned the attendants around him, wrote a few words quickly, and then stamped his private seal, Ying Tanong was about to pick it up, but at this moment, Lord Qiu held back The piece of paper in his hand: "I can give things to Brother Ying, but if the answer is not satisfactory, Brother Ying, I will have to talk about it next time."

Ying Tanong looked at Mr. Qiu with a serious expression, and immediately called a boy scout to fetch a bill of lading for a total of 220 dan spring silk: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, this is not the first time we have done business, as the saying goes If you want to do business for a long time, you must first of all be genuine and innocent, and Yu wants to continue to cooperate with Brother Qiu."

Only then did Master Qiu calm down his tense face a little, and let the spy who was born in the boy scouts take away the bill of lading under the palm of his hand: "Brother Qiu, be careful what you say!"

Ying Tainong remained unmoved, and after he had confirmed the numbers and secret marks on the bill of lading, he replied solemnly: "This move by the feudal clan has three meanings. The most superficial one is to restore diplomatic relations with Japan. The second is to use this to borrow one hundred thousand silver from Japan, and the third? I actually want to borrow troops from Japan."

"Borrow soldiers!" Master Qiu stood up from his chair. "Your clan is willing to take a big disgrace and want to lure Japanese pirates into the country?"

"Brother Qiu, what are you talking about so badly?" Ying Tainong said in a mocking tone. "If Wu Sangui hadn't opened the Shanhai Pass in the name of the late emperor's revenge and led the Tartars into the pass, I am afraid there would not be the current Qing Dynasty. Jewels and jade are in front, and this feudal clan just followed suit. Could it be that you are only allowed to be the first day of the new year? Don't you allow me to be fifteen?"

"This, how can this be the same." Master Qiu replied with a pale face. "Although the nation is not of Yanhuang Miao descent, there were mutual contacts with China during Emperor Shun's time. Since then, there have been records in the Shang and Zhou dynasties that Su Shen came to serve and achieve the sage king's mighty virtue. The Four Seas, Overseas Sushen, Beifa Qusou, Di and Qiang Laifu's records, "Three Kingdoms Wuwan Xianbei and Dongyi Biography" also said that since Yu and Zhou, Xirong had the offering of Baihuan, and Dongyi had the tribute of Sushen. Such words as the merits of the world. From this we can see that the relationship between the two clans is close, and today it is only the reversal of the position of the monarch and the ministers, which is also the result of the end of the five virtues."

"Stop, stop, brother Qiu, according to what you said, the Japanese belong to the same Chinese lineage after Xu Fu, shouldn't they be more in charge of China?" Ying Tanong interrupted the other party's words unceremoniously, of course the two of them argued like this It is not necessary to distinguish who is right and who is wrong or who rules China better, but there are eyes all around, so we have to argue with reason. "Actually, I don't want to open the door to steal. If it wasn't for your side to deploy the army on the coast of Fujian, would I have to look at the little dwarf?"

Hearing Ying Tainong's complaints, Master Qiu, who was pretending to be indignant, just climbed up the pole: "This is why the soldiers on both sides of the strait should stop fighting. This is the reason why we sat together for a few days. In fact, the court is sincere. Yes, it's just that your vassal has repeatedly made unrealistic demands, which forced the court to come to this point."

"Sincerity? What is sincerity? Is it true that the thing that allowed Benfan to withdraw is called sincerity?" Ying Tanong slowed down his tone, but his tone remained firm. "Well, let's talk about it today. In fact, the feudal clan is also sincere. As long as you agree to hand over a certain coastal island to the feudal clan as a place for exchange, the peace negotiation will naturally succeed."

"Brother Ying, the court is already very magnanimous." Lord Qiu retorted with a straight face. "Not cutting hair, not proclaiming vassals, not paying tribute, is already a step back from the North Korean case. Some people regard Dongning as today's Japan, and you still have to force the imperial court to transfer the islands along the coast for market transactions. This is your vassal. Not any more."

"Then we can't talk anymore." There was an indecipherable smile on Ying Tanong's face. "Brother Qiu, there will be a period later."

"Slow down!" Lord Qiu signaled Ying Tainong not to bring tea to the guests for the time being. "Brother Ying, forgive me for asking something that shouldn't be said. If the imperial court agrees to set aside a small island for the two parties to negotiate, can Dongning abolish the Daming Kingdom?"

"Brother Qiu, is this your own idea or Beijing's. If it's your own idea, Yu can only say it's impossible, but if it's Beijing's idea, Yu can only report it to Dongning." Ying Tainong's eyes brightened. Shan, obviously a little moved by Mr. Qiu's proposal. "But with Brother Qiu's hands and eyes, he should have known that the grandson of this vassal paid homage to the Ming Dynasty when he succeeded to the throne."

"I know, I know, Yu not only knows that Zhu Qin paid homage to Zhu Shugui, but also knows that although he made the gesture of only accepting the Duke of Zhang to reassure the clan's heart, he was still feared by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, so that Zhu Jin finally only got Prince Wu Rongjing's posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title." At this moment, Lord Qiu also put on a half-smile, as if the verbal strife just a moment ago had never happened at all. "Since the Ming Dynasty behaved like this, why did your vassal hang himself on a tree? Wouldn't it be good to change the course and change Zhang She's name? Wouldn't it be a good thing? Brother Ying must also convey the court's goodwill!"

But Ying Tainong was not moved by Lord Qiu's words, but asked again: "Brother Qiu hasn't said whether this idea came from Brother Qiu himself, or the one in Beijing?"

Seeing Ying Tainong's recalcitrant attitude, Master Qiu had no choice but to put away his smile: "This is just the meaning of the person above me, and I haven't had time to report it to Beijing, but if you can agree, this matter is very serious." Eighty-nine times it can be implemented.”

"Brother Qiu, does this count as eating the last family and eating the next family?" Ying Tainong sneered. "Present my vassal to make a statement first, and then seek credit for Beijing by finding out my vassal's intentions. Whether it succeeds or not is due to brother Qiu. It's easy to calculate, easy to calculate." Master Qiu's face flushed, obviously being said by Ying Tainong In the heart of thinking. "However, if you really want this feudal clan to give up supporting the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't Shi Lang's Taiwan conquest army be disbanded first, so as to win people's trust?" Ying Tainong's move is called using his own spear to attack his own shield, It was also air-to-air, and sure enough, Master Qiu stopped asking. "Okay, Brother Qiu, don't grind your teeth anymore. Anyway, our respective hole cards have been found out. If you really want to appease, then go back and talk to your master so that we can continue talking."

"That's good," Lord Qiu nodded. "Let's go back and report to each other. If we can stop fighting, it will be the merits of both of us."
