Chapter 285:Negotiations at Sea

In the sea of Xiamen, two sizmmonged wooden ships quietly stopped in the wind and rain, and the rain was like a line, and the eyes were confused.At this time, the wind and waves were not large, and the ship was gently rising with the waves in the sea, and the fine rain wet the deck, and it was as wet as oil.

Several seafarers were dressed in a siren, standing quietly at the bow of the ship, and the rain made a rustling sound on the mats, and dripping raindrops billowed and falling, but they still stood still and seemed to be paying attention to something.

Two dhows came in the rain and mist, and a sailor waved his hand, his boat went out, and the other side also had a sailboat to meet, three hundred feet, two hundred feet, one hundred feet... The two boats moved closer, and the hulls shook each other's hulls when the shipboards touched each other, and then the sailors on both sides quickly threw out the hook and grabbed each other's boats.

The combined double ship weights moved closer again, and the two pedals were handed over to each other from the ship on both sides at the same time.The soldiers took the board and tied it to the ship's rails, while looking at each other curiously and carefully.Different hair, different appearance, but you can feel the identity of the other party's warrior.

For the first time, so close and so peaceful, Jia Qingyou rushed over, and the sea merchant inadvertently acted as a witness to a major historical event, despite his reluctance.

The general of the Ming army boarded the ship, and the Portuguese side, out of safety considerations, the first negotiations were held on the Portuguese ship.They took off their coats, showing a clear and neat armour, wearing a narrow-blade knife under their ribs, and boarded the Portuguese ship without incident.Their calm expression and calm movements relieved the tension of the Portuguese soldiers, and the musketeers who stood under the unkempt on both sides of the ship were loosened, and the muzzle of the gun quietly fell down.

"This is Daming Fujian Shuishi Admiral General Han Wu, Fujian Bu administration ambassador Xuanmen to the Senate of the Lord Zheng Weiran, Fujian Haidao made Tang Xingyun, Zhejiang water master thousands of Peng Xiaoxian."

The Portuguese leader across the street answered one by one with a fist of Chinese etiquette, and Jia Qingyou's nervousness gradually calmed down and continued: "Adults, this is General Sander, Colonel of the Royal Navy of the Flour, and Master Miguel."This is the representative of Captain Pedro, who was in business with Luzon, and his assistant, Mr. Valent, . . . and the handsome samurai of the Eastern Aigu pig's claws.

Several Ming army generals led the blade of the sword brush to focus on the "handsome" face of the pig's claws, the pig paws are handsome and habitually grasping the samurai concubining, trying to put on a look of no care, Han Wu smiled contemptuously, turning his head to Sander, "the characters of the noble line are really varied, and the eight of us met at this sea."It smells like “eight immortals across the sea.”

A few Portuguese people do not know what it is called the eight immortals across the sea, the pig's paw handsome but listen to understand, he can't help but open his mouth and laugh, but all the people did not look at him, the pig paw smiled twice, consciously bored, and then taunted to hold back.

Jia Qingyou coarsely Portuguese, communication is not a problem.He said a few words in the Portuguese language of the stammering, and then said to Han Wu: "General Sander, please enter the cabin with the adults."

Sander also made a gesture of reaching out and inviting, Han Wu nodded, took the lead to the cabin, Peng Xiaosheng shaking his body.After the pig's paw handsomely beside him, the elbow part of the armour suddenly shook, and he bumped between the handsome chest of the pig's paw, and at the same time glanced at him provocatively.

The pig’s paws screamed in pain.His body was two steps back, and he was furious, twisting his face and holding the long hilt of the samurai sword, and "wow" a knife at first glance, he wanted to pull out and kill.

The priest of Miguel pressed the back of his hand and shook his head slightly, at which time Peng Xiaoxian and others had stepped into the cabin, and the pig's paws were handsome and hateful to push the knife into the sheath.Bite his teeth and follow the back of the three Westerners into the cabin, he was short and stout, standing behind only one person in front of the back, and he would not clash with Peng Xiaoxian again.

With a few cold words on both sides, Sander said, “We are from the distant Kingdom of Portugal and have no intention of offending the Ming court.”Full of stings is a small kingdom of savages, which have been annexed by us, but as the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal.We respect the supremacy of the Great Ming Kingdom in the East.We are willing to negotiate with the United States on this matter.”

Han Wu shook his head and smiled, “General Sander, I would like to know what your country is going to negotiate with us.”Full of stings is the kingdom of the Great Ming.Calling Mr. Nagun and accepting the protection of the Da Ming army, you have now occupied the stabbed, and the stabbed the stabbed of the sultan Sudden mother and the last king has asked my emperor His Majesty the Ming Emperor to send troops to assist the country, and we should safeguard the interests of our own country, right?”

The Reverend Miguel smiled, “Your Excellency, the King of our country very much wishes to establish a good cooperative relationship with the greatest empire in the East.”Our navy is the most powerful force in the West, and by stinging it we have swallowed them up and replaced their dominance.Now, as the master of the full thorns . . .

Zheng Yiran, the political leader, immediately said: "No, without the recognition of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you are not the master of the thorny, and you have no right to speak on behalf of the thorns."

Sand shrugged displeasure and sneered, “It’s a pity, sir, it’s actually all we’ve decided to fill up with thorns.”

Peng Xiaoxian immediately learned to shrug his shoulders and say, “So, here we come!”

At the sight of the smell of gunpowder, Valent said quickly and calmly, "Gentlemen, please be quiet, please be quiet, please let me say a word!"

He shouted again to see no one ignored him, rushed to pull Jia Qingyou, let him repeat it twice in Chinese, and the two sides were quiet for a while.

The rain outside seemed to be a little bit more, the top of the ponbus made a rustic blow, and Valent looked at the white rain mist outside the cabin and muttered, "This is not a good day for negotiation, but ... it is not good weather in combat."

He tightened his puff and smiled, "General Han, gentlemen, I have been in the East for a long time, and I know that although His Majesty the Emperor Da Ming has a vast territory, and ... an army with more than our entire population, the king of Da Ming has no intention of using his powerful forces to interfere in the affairs of small neighboring countries, as long as no one offends the dignity of Daming."He's a happy giant."

He pointed to Sander and Miguel and smiled, “And we, some of the people who didn’t want to offend Damien.”With regard to the question of full thorns as the genus of the Great Ming, we understand this: we want to occupy it, and live here, just to do business with the Orientals, and when we are full of thorns, we also have an obligation to replace the full thorn.To the emperor of Daming fulfill the obligations of his subordinates, that is to say: General Sander's government, like the kingdom of Manxing, will pay tribute to Daming, and if General Yang Ling agrees, we can immediately send a mission to Daming's Jing division to pay tribute."

The priest nodded and said, “Yes, yes.”For Daming, there was no change, and although he changed his master, he was still a member of Daming and was willing to fulfill the obligations of his courtiers to Daming.I think His Majesty the Emperor will be pleased with this.”

Han Wu and Zheng Weiran looked at each other and were somewhat surprised, and they also estimated the conditions that the Flang machine may have put forward before they left, and they wanted to be nothing more than a deterrent by force.At the same time, give some sweetness to ensure that the territory of Daming is not violated, and that it is not to prevent the South Asian countries from borrowing the road to the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is not in Yang Ling's estimation that it is thought that the Westerners will agree to call him Nagon, after all, the Fang Lang machine is the master of the sea, a group of adventurers and speculators have occupied the upper hand of the state, and they will not surrender because of the destruction of several ships in the district.

This was expected, and one regime subverted another and expressed deference to Daming.As a political communion, he was satisfied.Neither the use of the swords, but also to ensure the status of the central kingdom, so a small full of thorns and internal changes, there is no need to care.

In fact, after the changes in the internal regime of Dongyi and Annan, the new rulers to Daming, in general, the emperor will also accept, which is a precedent.So he listened to the look of great ease.It has already begun to humb slightly.

Sander's appearance is also a little proud, and the Orientals care about these false names.How about putting him in God’s place?As long as the actual interests and power are in their hands.Moreover, when we stand firm here and the forces gradually become stronger, our navy can come to the East in a steady stream, and we can tear up this paper book at any time.

Han Wu and Peng Xiaoxian, Zheng Weiran, Haidao made Tang Xingyun a few people whisper, Zheng Weiran said: "General Han, in my opinion, this condition is worth the matter, do you see whether you reply to the Governor General, please make a decision?"

Han Wu hesitated, looked at Tang Xingyun and Peng Xiaoxian, and asked, “What about your opinions?”

Tang Xingyun stabbed his beard, looked at the four people opposite, and then whispered: "This... this... this... this... this... this... we all know that the flank pirates are very powerful, and the thorny Flang machine is not a pirate, but the official army of the Flange country, their combat effectiveness must be stronger, I think if you can peacefully resolve this matter, there is nothing wrong."What is the difference between the rulers there, whether called the sultan of the sultan or the king of the folios, as long as they are the genus of Daming?"

Han Wu frowned, but because Zheng Yuanran and Tang Xingyun's official positions were not under him, he was not good at refuting it.Yang Ling's real intention is that he knows the place, Yang Ling also cares about who belongs to the form of the thorn, but the impact of this sea traffic lane once it is subject to people.

Obviously, the Flemish machine is ambitious, and if they are officially recognized for their existence, the watermaster of Daming can only circle in the inland sea, and the whole place will become the Flemish Aquarian.

Peng Xiaoxian whispered, “I said to you guys, you see, which of these ghosts and ghosts are good things?”Can they believe what they say?The land, the land, think when my father called the Mount Putuo, who wants to descend, then have to lead, lead the ship to come.Just cut the chicken head, drink blood wine, and raise the banner of my Peng family to come even if I am the Peng family?“Damn, is that an idiot?”

Han Wu stared at him and said, “You’re talking nonsense again, you’re now a martial artist of the court!”Don’t say, the officer has his own idea.”

He thought for a moment and smiled at Sander and others: "Very well, I am also willing to believe in your sincerity, and I am not willing to meet with your soldiers, but the matter is big, and the official cannot be the Lord."Now that the Governor is waiting for you, may you please return to General Izeg and His Excellency Bishop La Mario and ask them to come forward with us in detail?"

Sander and Miguel, among others, whispered, “It is not that we do not believe in the General, but that General Izeg is the commander of the garrison, Bishop Ramario is the envoy of His Majesty the King, how can you... keep them safe?”

Han Wu frankly said: "The four of us can stay in the ship to be hostages."There is an old saying here that the two countries are fighting each other, and we do not come to make them, and we have not yet met each other.”

"But," he glanced at the handsome pig's paws, faintly said: "their people don't go to self-pray, we know they are working for you, but they are not qualified to negotiate!" 」

Five nautical miles after two wooden sailboats, each gathered a large number of warships just in case.Sander and others immediately sent another ship to the back to ask Commander Ezeiger and Archbishop La Mario, although Ezeiger repeatedly induced the Turkish chiefs to hold the other side hostage, but he believed that the Ming Army would not do so, not to mention that the army left four senior officials as hostages, and immediately agreed.

Han Wu made it clear to the two battles on the side, and then when the Flang aircraft ship came to the middle line with Ezeiger and others, they sailed to the fleet of the Flang aircraft in the Portuguese ship, and the two Ming army sailed to the Ming Army fleet.

Gulangyu is located in the southwest of Xiamen Island, Yuan Dynasty called Garden Shazhou, the current dynasties were renamed Gulangyu.The oval island is not large, but the island's turbulence and scenery is pleasant.The highest peak of the leading mountain and Xiamen's tiger head mountain across the shore, there is a dragon and a tiger guard Xiamen's saying.

The rain has stopped, the air is fresh and humid, and all kinds of seabirds appear over the beach, flying and whining.Yang Ling stood on the beach in the southwest corner of the island, and the sea breeze blew his cloak and flew like a flag.Not far from his side are two stacked rocks, which have been eroded by the sea for many years, and a vertical hole has been formed in the middle, and whenever the tide rises, the waves hit the rock, making a drum sound, which is called "drumstone" by fishermen, and the name of Gulangyu Island from the park sandbar is also for this reason.

After the rain, there is a brilliant color, like a colorful bridge between the blue sky, at this time, several warships gradually faded from the side of the rainbow on the sea.
