Since the official war between France and the Ming Dynasty, the two sides have fought each other on the front line, and the battle situation is extremely fierce, but it seems to be as agreed upon. Regardless of the attack or defense, the small wooden house where Wang Dong and Louis negotiated and met, so until now, the small wooden house remains the same, and there is no sign of being destroyed by the war.

After Louis ordered the cessation of the attack, the French army began to detach from the Ming army's front and retreated directly six miles.

Zhu Yigui, who received the report from the front line, was puzzled by France's strange behavior. Just as he was thinking about what France was doing so and whether the Ming army would take advantage of the other party's opportunity to move the position forward, the people sent by Louis arrived.

"Damn it, I really expected Wang Shuai!" After hearing the message brought by the other party, Zhu Yigui touched his head and smiled and scolded.

Regarding Wang Dong's expectations, he had to write a big word "Super". Wang Dong had previously told him that if the war between the Ming and France was in a stalemate, then the war would not take long, and France would take the initiative to cease fire and send someone to demand negotiations.

Zhu Yigui has always disagreed with this judgment, especially after the war really broke out, both sides could say that they used all their moves and fought extremely fiercely. Zhu Yigui felt that the war would never stop without a winner. He was even prepared for a long-term battle, but he never expected that the French army, which was still intending to break through the Ming army's position yesterday, stopped the attack without warning today, and then took the initiative to retreat and sent an envoy to demand negotiations.

Now, it has completely proved Wang Dong’s previous judgment, but how did Wang Dong make this judgment? Zhu Yigui didn’t even understand it. Maybe this is why Wang Dong was able to be the military minister for so many years and become the duke.

With the French army's active ceasefire and retreat, the Ming army also stopped attacking accordingly. The two sides were separated by ten miles, and the war once again returned to its original state.

A few days later, it was still the same wooden house, or the same time before, and the supreme commanders of both sides gathered here again.

"I am very happy to see you again, Earl." Seeing Louis again, Wang Dong smiled and greeted the other party first.

"I am equally honored to see you, Lord Duke." Louis still maintained the demeanor of the French nobles as before.

"This time I brought good tea from the Ming Dynasty. This kind of tea is very different from the tea exported to Europe. According to the Ming Dynasty, it is a 'tribute' that is, the best tea provided by the royal family alone. Even I can't get it. This tea was specially rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor. Earl, do you want to taste it?" Wang Dong sat down and took out an exquisite tea barrel like last time, and said to Louis with a smile.

"Of course, why not?" Compared to the last time, Louis happily accepted Wang Dong's proposal. Wang Dong smiled and handed the tea jar to his followers. Soon, as the hot water boiled in the wooden house, a refreshing tea fragrance filled the room.

"It tastes really good, just like your country, giving people a mysterious atmosphere." Louis was imitating Wang Dong's appearance and sipped the tea, expressing such emotion.

"Actually, nothing in this world is mysterious." Wang Dong smiled with a pun: "The so-called mystery is just a lack of understanding. If you have contact, it will be different. Just like the East and the West, these two worlds have been trying to understand each other, just like understanding the whole world. What do you think of the Earl?"

"Your words are philosophical." Louis smiled and nodded, "As you said, our respective countries are far away, but now we sit together in the New World to drink tea, with the purpose of knowing each other and eliminating barriers, isn't it? Lord Duke?"

"Hahaha, since that's the case, then we have a common foundation." Wang Dong laughed loudly, and then Louis laughed loudly. But the two opponents encountered something happy like old friends at this moment.

After drinking the remaining tea, Louis put down the teacup in his hand: "Hisser Duke, let's have a good talk. I don't think there is any need for both sides to continue this war."

"Yes, this is a meaningless war." Wang Dong agreed, and asked, "Emperor, how do you think the war ends?"

Louis had already prepared for this and immediately stated his conditions.

Louis had five conditions in total. The first was to stop the war immediately and the two sides returned to the state before the war. This included not only the war between France and the Ming Dynasty, but also the war on Spain.

Second, as the party involved in the war, the Ming Dynasty needed part of the compensation, and the Spanish side, as the first party to provoke the war, has now learned a lesson in the war. As for the losses of the Ming side, because of the loss of Manzanillo, a large amount of gold, silver and wealth in Spain fell into the hands of the Ming side, so these things were used to compensate the Ming side.

Third, the Ming Dynasty retreated from the occupied Manzanillo and returned Manzanillo to the Spanish colonial government to complete post-war peace and regional balance. France, as the Spanish suzerain parliament, guaranteed Spain's peace, respect and territorial integrity to the Ming Dynasty in the New World colonies.

Fourth, the colonial governments of France, Spain, including other countries in South America can ensure that there is no longer any restrictions on the trade, commerce, etc. of the Ming Dynasty in the New World, and the Ming Dynasty also needs to open up the commercial market in the New Ming region to various countries.

Fifth, the two sides exchanged and released all prisoners.

When these five conditions were spoken one by one from Louis, Wang Dong sneered in his heart. It was at this time that Louis was still stubborn. Where were the conditions he proposed? It was clearly the things he could not get on the battlefield that he intended to obtain from the Ming Dynasty at the negotiating table.

If this is the case, there is no need to continue today's negotiations, because Louis's idea was still the original idea. Wang Dong directly refused at the beginning. Will he agree now?

Immediately, Wang Dong said that it was absolutely impossible to accept the reply to these conditions, and directly refuted these conditions.

Among them, the Ming Dynasty was not only impossible to give France any so-called war compensation, because the initiator of the war was not the Ming Dynasty at all. If there was compensation, it was also the only way for Spain and France to give it to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, back to the state before the war broke out? From the perspective of Ming Dynasty and France, but what about Spain?

It is even more ridiculous to return Manzanillo. There is also the gold, silver and materials of Manzanillo. I won’t talk about whether there is any evidence. Even if there is one, it will be a spoil of the Ming Dynasty. As spoils, where does this come from in the world to offset the compensation?

The Ming Dynasty occupied Manzanillo. Wouldn't it be a fool if he returned it to Spain lightly? Besides, Wang Dong never had the idea of ​​returning Manzanillo. Since he took this place, the Ming Dynasty decided to use Manzanillo as his naval base. As long as Manzanillo is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the West Coast will be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the Spanish colonial government will no longer have any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

As for exchanging and releasing prisoners? This sounds fair, but in fact, if Daming really does this, he will suffer a great loss.

On the battlefields of the two fronts, the prisoners on the Ming and France may be similar, but on the southern front, that is, Spain, you should know that the Ming Dynasty captured tens of thousands of Spanish people, so these people were handed over directly? Unless Wang Dong's brain was kicked by a donkey, he would do this.

Wang Dong even sneered at the trade and commerce proposed by Louis. The news from the local area was that Portugal and the Netherlands had already surrendered. As for Spain now being beaten by the Ming Dynasty, almost unable to take care of itself. After the war ended, where did Spain get the courage to block the Ming Dynasty as before?
