Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 755
While Navy Commander Van Persie went to meet Zhu Yousong, Chief of Defense Batens had already selected 200 musketeers to ambush in the negotiation hall, and 500 musketeers were ambushed outside the hall.The 700 muskets inside and outside are enough to make Zhu Yousong and his ministers who entered the hall into a sieve.

After Wei Malang came, he still felt that the firepower arrangement was not enough, so he added 500 musketeers on the periphery, that is to say, there were 70 musketeers deployed outside the hall alone.As long as Zhu Yousong and the others enter this negotiation hall, they will be unable to fly.Not to mention the seven of them, even 700, 200 people, would never leave this hall alive, because the doors, windows and all the exits are all within the firepower of the thousand guns, plus there are [-] guns inside. , The floor area of ​​this hall is only a few hundred square meters, and the building area does not exceed one thousand square meters.

In such a small area, with more than 1000 muskets, it is conceivable that the firepower would be dense if they really fight.

In addition, Wei Malang also made many preparations. For example, Zhu Yousong entered the castle, but did not enter the negotiation hall. What if the two sides fought at this time?Then there is no way to escape from the castle.

Therefore, he ordered that as soon as Zhu Yousong entered the castle, the city gates were locked, and all the cannons and guns on the city defenses were put into battle. Out of town.

This is tantamount to putting double insurance on that negotiation hall.In fact, as soon as the seven of Zhu Yousong entered the city, Wei Malang and others' hearts were already in their stomachs.It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. Zhu Yousong is already hard to fly.

When Van Persie accompanied Zhu Yousong's unarmed five into the negotiation hall, Wei Malang and Batens were even more elated, which made it even more foolproof.

Even if Zhu Yousong has three heads and six arms and can get out of this hall alive, he will be beaten into a sieve when he gets outside, let alone rush out of the castle and escape.

The six or seven thousand red-haired men in the city were all ready for a fierce battle.This time they also made up their minds that they must capture Emperor Zhu Yousong alive or shoot him here until Zhu Yousong compromised with them.

The negotiation hall is very spacious.Now, Zhu Yousong and Wei Malang are sitting at the negotiating table.

This is a large oval table with a top made of granite and a white marble top.There are tea, fruit and flowers.

Wei Malang sat on the main seat, accompanied by Batens and Van Persie on both sides.

On the guest seat opposite, His Majesty Zhu Yousong sat in the middle, accompanied by four beauties, two on each side, and the negotiation officially began.

First, Admiral Van Persie of the Navy introduced Wei Malang and Batens. Wei Malang was all smiles. He was wearing a pair of glasses in a suit and leather shoes, and his narrow and long face was smiling like a jujube pit. Welcome.

Don't look at them smiling and polite.Zhu Yousong knew that this was hiding a knife in his smile, and he had no good intentions.Therefore, he sat there without moving, just squeezed a smile on his face, and nodded to their "graciousness".

Then he cut straight to the point and said: "Last time I sent an envoy He Aiqing to advise everyone, this is Daming's territory, it has been occupied by you for so many years without reason, and I want to take it back now, those who know current affairs are heroes, it is wise to leave the city and surrender as soon as possible. You actually said that you want to negotiate with me in person, now that I am here, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let’s return to this topic, how about we talk about it?"

Seeing Zhu Yousong going straight to the point, the three red-haired thieves flashed a dark look in their eyes, they looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Wei Malang's face, Wei Malang was still smiling.He pulled up his glasses, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put the teacup down.

"Oh, it's easy to talk about, but His Majesty Daming, I'm afraid there is one thing that needs to be settled first."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yousong's eyes shot out a sharp sword-like light, forcing Wei Malang not to look him in the face, and at the same time, Simei beside her secretly touched the hidden sharp blade on her body.

"Previously, there were frequent internal disputes in your country, which had seriously affected our trade. A few days ago, I sent Mr. Batens to negotiate in person. Your Majesty should know about this. You didn't care about our feelings, and instead of accepting our terms, Instead, force was used, and our army was severely damaged in several naval battles between Fujian and Kinmen, with heavy casualties of personnel and ships, I am afraid there must be an explanation for this matter."

Zhu Yousong knew that they were starting to mess around.It is a common trick of colonial robbers to seek reason without reason and insist that it is not reasonable.

"How do you settle this matter in your Excellency's view?" Zhu Yousong was patient, he wanted to see how shameless these robbers were.

Seeing that Zhu Yousong asked them to make conditions, Wei Malang looked at the two assistants around him, and opened his mouth wide.

"At least we have to compensate for the loss. We have a total of 6000 casualties in this battle. Each person is calculated at 2000 taels of silver. The guns and ammunition are equivalent to 1200 million taels of silver."

Damn, come to our territory to pick quarrels, start a war, and ask us to compensate for the losses. This is the logic of robbers. Is there any fucking reason for this?
Zhu Yousong suppressed his anger, but also intentionally wanted to play tricks on them. He changed his mentality and said with a calm smile: "A mere 5 million taels of silver is not much, I can pay you back."

As soon as this sentence came out, Simei around her became anxious. How could His Majesty agree to their unreasonable conditions, and promised to pay compensation before the start, 50000000 taels of silver, what is that money?You are not joking, this is a negotiation, not a child's play!
On this occasion, Simei was anxious but dared not say much.

Wei Malang, Batens, and Van Persie are very happy. I didn't expect His Majesty Daming to agree so readily. Without hesitation, isn't this sending money for us?

But if he doesn't agree, is there a way?When we arrive in our castle, of course we have to do what we say, this is his sense of the times!
It seems that this ancient oriental country has a lot of silver, alas, you know, this amount is too small, at least it has to be doubled.

Wei Malang still felt a little regretful, regretting that he was too merciful.

At this moment, Zhu Yousong went on to say: "50000000 taels of silver, I can pay you a lot of money. I have a jade seal, and I can sign and cash it now. Then, everyone can go out of the city and surrender, right?"

When the three red-haired boys heard it, what?You paid us all the silver in exchange for us to come out and surrender. Isn’t this silver still yours in the end?And it's not just the money, our lives are yours, you're playing us like idiots!

Thinking of this, Wei Malang suppressed his anger and smiled slyly, thinking in his heart: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the matter of going out of the city and surrendering has to be discussed in the long run."
