Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"My lord, today I went to vote for the Ministry of Rites and Li Fan in Annan, but Chen Xiangsun, the official of the Ministry of Rites, and Bai Wuguang, the Zhifan of Li Fan, failed again with excuses. [New]" Zong Youfang's entourage told he complained. "It's been more than a month, and Beihe's side has been evasive. Its intentions are really hateful. They simply despise our fan."

Zong Youfang, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, asked calmly, "Then how should we deal with it according to your wishes?"

"Being small, I should show Bei He some color." The attendant said angrily. "Even if you can't fight, just scare them and know that I'm not easy to bully."

"That's right." Zong Youfang nodded slightly. "It's been more than a month, no matter how we discuss it, there should be a result. Although we don't have to pay for our own meals and accommodation, but the days are getting hotter day by day, and the official is indeed a bit uncomfortable." Zong Youfang then said road. "In this way, you go to the Ministry of Rites in Annan and the Lifan of the Lord's Mansion tomorrow, and say that the emissary can't wait for them to reply, and the flag will be lowered the day after tomorrow to return to the country. After the discussion, you will hand it over to Da Pao to discuss."

The news that Zong Youfang was going back to the country reached Zheng Gen immediately, and Zheng Gen obviously didn't want to see the possible invasion of Zheng Jun in the future. For this reason, Lifan of the main mansion, who deliberately stood still, quickly returned He took the initiative to attack and found the State Guest House.

"Why, the Lord's Mansion has finally reached a conclusion." Zong Youfang looked at the bluish-faced opponent with a smile. "It's such a coincidence, okay, okay, then let's hear some good news from Master Bai first."

Li Fan Zhifan Bai Wuguang responded with a serious expression: "Because of the wrong love of Shangguo, I would like to rectify Zhu's name, but my king has no intention of replacing Li's family. I am afraid that it is against King Xia's good intentions."

Zong Youfang sighed, "Emperor Ming soon abdicated the emperor to King Xia, and King Xia also considered that King Dingnan already called himself his nephew, so he wanted to make Annan's name justifiable, but he didn't think that King Dingnan would abide by the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. [ ]”

These words made Bai Wuguang sweat profusely. Isn't this clearly saying that Zheng Kezang is a usurper, and Annan Zhengzhu will never follow suit?This is worse than a face-to-face slap. If it is true, maybe Zheng Jun will come to Beihe as soon as Zong Youfang returns.

Therefore, Li Fan Fu Ruan Zhiming immediately corrected his words: "Although King Dingnan does not want to stand in place of Li, he is still quite grateful for King Xia's kindness, so he has agreed to the second of the three things that your envoy said earlier, and open up many states (Lang Son) ), Hu, Rongshi, and Censhan are treaty ports to facilitate the exchange of merchants from the two countries, as for the envoy’s statement in this article, it is also approved.”

"This is good news." Zong Youfang said it was good news, but the smile on his face just now was not official at all. "It's just that your side only approved one of the three items mentioned by this envoy, which means that your side has already denied the other two. That's fine, so, this envoy will explain it to King Xia when he returns home."

Zong Youfang said it simply, but it was clearly a threat of war, so the dissatisfied Bai Wuguang coughed lightly: "Master Zong, in fact, Article C is easy to discuss, the main mansion thinks"

"Wait!" Zong Youfang interrupted. "I remember when I talked with Mo Peizong about the two terms, B and C, which were only allowed or not, and there was no discussion about whether it was possible. Could it be that Mo Peizong didn't make it clear when he passed the message, or the two adults didn't understand? "

"This?" Bai Wuguang and Ruan Zhiming looked at me and I looked at you, each other's eyes were full of helplessness, although Lord Zheng had already set the tone, B and C could agree, but they still wanted to try their best to fight with Zong Youfang, Even if they couldn't get it, they could force Zong Youfang to make concessions on the first article, but they had a good idea, but Zong Youfang didn't dance to Beihe's rhythm at all, so they had no choice but to retreat to the end. "Since Master Zong insists, and the small country of Beihe can do this, we have no choice but to agree."

"The two adults are really good at joking, did this envoy force the two to agree?" Zong Youfang looked extremely aggrieved, and the two were not pretending to be serious. [ ] "If you feel wronged, you don't have to agree. I think Xia Wang Rende will never bully others with power."

How is it possible not to bully others with power, Bai Wuguang, who was full of slander, could only smile and said: "King Xia's benevolence is well known in the world, and we and other small countries are also aware of it, so how dare you misunderstand King Xia's good intentions? Even though our country really cannot agree to the article I said at the beginning, I would like to ask your envoy to speak kindly in front of King Xia after returning to China."

"Why can't you agree?" Zong Youfang asked knowingly. "Gaoping is the land of the Mo family. There are still many people in the Mo family who are stubborn. Transferring the domain to us is beneficial to the Lord's Mansion. As for Lang Son, if it is still in the interior of your country, it will be inconvenient to ask about it. If not Allocating it to our clan is also good for business exchanges, of course, our clan will not take your land in vain, the previous agreement is still valid, as long as your country transfers the above-mentioned territories, the firearms and gunpowder will be shipped immediately."

"Whether Gaoping or Xuanjiang is all the blood of my ancestors, I want to exchange thousands of bird guns and dozens of cannons. Is Daming's calculation too smart?" Bai Wuguang couldn't bear it, and responded in a stern tone . "Even if you add a zero to the number of weapons you provided, I will never give it up."

"That's it," Zong Youfang also sneered. "I remember that the Houli Dynasty established the country by stealing the land of Chief Secretary Annan from Daming. Going back in time, the Ding Dynasty also split from China. In this way, the so-called bloody land of your country is all from China, my great army phoenix is ​​also famous as a teacher!"

Seeing that the talk was about to collapse, Ruan Zhiming hurriedly jumped up and acted as a peacemaker: "Master Zong, please don't misunderstand, Mr. Bai does not mean that even an inch of land cannot be negotiated, but the last time you asked for Daning, the Lord's Mansion has already given it to you. , and this time they asked for Gaoping and the north of Xuanjiang, Annan Elementary School, and they can withstand such encroachment."

Zong Youfang immediately reprimanded: "How happy are you when you cannibalize China, and you can't bear it if you change it?"

Ruan Zhiming just clasped his hands together and said, "Annan is a small country, and it can't compare to the Kingdom of Heaven."

Zong Youfang snorted softly: "The official once said that we can discuss it, but you obviously don't want to discuss it. Well, there is no need to discuss it. Come and see off the guests. In addition, we will go back tomorrow and make an appointment with Holland Hongyi. Tell them not to cut off foreign trade with Beihe, and stop buying goods from Ben Fan."

"Is that what the envoy Ming said?" Zheng Gen shook his head when he heard the words of the two chief officials of Lifan. "Honglu Temple should be allowed to go, you are not his opponent." As soon as these words came out, Bai Wuguang and Ruan Zhiming's faces became hot, but Zheng Gen didn't pay attention to their expressions. "You don't know, things are troublesome now."

trouble?That's enough trouble, what more trouble can be compared?

But the two of them were wrong. In fact, the trouble just started. Zheng Gen said: "Fu Chun (Hue) somehow knew that Gu was talking with Daming in secret, and not long ago, that uncle Gu sent someone to the farther south. Jinlan, now the entire Fuchun is going crazy, saying that the main mansion is going to go south again to destroy the Ruan family and establish itself as the emperor. Now that kid Ruan Fuhao has ordered to gather [-] troops, and he is going to defeat the lonely southern expedition army first, and then Then return to the division to defeat Ming Zheng's forces in Jinlan."

"What?" The two looked at Zheng Gen dumbfounded, how could this be the case. "It's the wind released by Ming people." Bai Wuguang, who came to his senses, inferred naturally. "Ming people must be playing tricks in it, it's extremely hateful!"

"Even if we know that Uncle Gu Na sent people to make troubles, what can we do?" Zheng Gen shook his head. He could use a soldier to fight the Guangnan Army with the same level of training on the Great Wall, but he didn't have the courage to fight Ming Zheng's army at all. "Now that the North-South War is imminent, the Lord's Mansion must no longer mess with the north."

Ruan Zhiming got it right, and immediately asked for instructions: "I understand, I will resume negotiations with the Ming envoy."

"First of all, we must get North to agree to donate armaments and ammunition immediately," Zheng Gen said. "Bai Qing doesn't have to go, lest she will be unhappy again." As soon as these words came out, Bai Wuguang's expression froze, but Zheng Gen's words were not finished yet. "Ruan Qing, since Bai Qing has already said that every inch of the mountains and rivers is the result of the bloodshed of my Annan soldiers, when you negotiate with the Ming envoy, you still have to argue with reason."

Ruan Zhiming bowed his head and said, "I understand."

"What Gaoping can't talk about, the north of the Xuanjiang River can be handed over to our clan." Looking at Ruan who came back again, Zong Youfang suddenly laughed. "Did something happen? No, I'm overthinking, but I'm afraid it's not enough to cross the Xuanjiang River to the north. That's it. Let me settle the things that have been negotiated first, and talk about the rest slowly." "

On the first day of April in the first year of Ming Taishun, Ming Zheng and Beihe reached the "Shanglong Treaty", also known as the "Wuyin Four-Port Trade Treaty".

Lord Zheng of Beihe agreed to open Duobang (Lang Son), Hu, Rongshi, and Censhan as treaty ports, and allow Ming Zheng to establish a national letter embassy in Thang Long and set up commercial consulates in four treaty ports‖ Zheng Zhu agreed to grant Ming Zhu affairs Judiciary power, foreign trade goods pricing power, and Beihe's diplomatic power to Western countries, and promises that Beihe will not increase tariffs at will without the consent of Mingzheng Customs, and Mingzhi people will continue to enjoy privileges such as exempting foreign trade ships from entering berths.

At the same time, in view of the fact that Duobang was opened as a treaty port, the two sides re-determined the border, and the mountains in the north of the river after the Zuojiang tributary flowed into the territory of Annan and the people living in the caves during the period of residence were reclassified under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Lord Zheng obtained the power to set up a pilgrimage envoy in Guangzhou through the signing of this treaty, and he also received the gift and sale of bulk arms and gunpowder from Ming Zheng.Relying on such a large number of firearms as his waist, Zheng Gen, the king of Dingnan, immediately recruited troops to gather on the southern Great Wall.At the same time, at the request of Master Zheng, Ming Zheng's Western Fleet also began intensive patrolling off the coast of Guangnan, ready to cooperate with Master Zheng anytime and anywhere.
