Chapter nine hundred and seventy-six the righteous master who went out prematurely

Etiquette greetings, the meetings were sat down separately.

They each said some polite words first, and then gradually got to the point.

As the commander, Domingo naturally proposed the view of the Spanish Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty according to the previous strategy. These are nothing more than the following points.

First: The Kingdom of Spain expressed regret for the war friction between the two sides caused by the Kingdom of France in the New World.

Second: The Spanish Kingdom protested against the Ming Empire's armistice and was already in a state of truce after the New World War, and claimed that this violated the original state of peace between the two countries and caused the Spanish Kingdom to suffer significant losses. The responsibility must be borne by the Ming Empire.

Third: The Kingdom of Spain is willing to take the initiative to stop the war between the Ming Empire to restore a peaceful attitude.

Fourth: The Kingdom of Spain recognizes the empire's sovereignty over the current occupied areas.

Fifth: The Ming Empire had to take certain responsibilities when it started war and broke the foundation of peace, and gave corresponding compensation to the Kingdom of Spain.

Sixth: After the peace is restored, the two sides will cooperate in normal trade and commerce. The Kingdom of Spain can give the Ming Empire a convenient trade and assist some of the Ming Empire's commodities to open up the European market.

When these six points were spoken in a righteous manner in Domingo's mouth, Pan Mengyuan suddenly felt secretly amused, and at the same time he was extremely despised by Spain's stubborn look.

"These six points raised by your country?" Pan Mengyuan asked calmly.

"Yes, it's only six o'clock for the time being!" Domingo answered with a noble look and a little arrogant.

Pan Mengyuan smiled and shook her head, then looked at Zhang Han who was sitting beside her. Zhang Han immediately understood and answered the words.

"Has the envoy made a mistake?" Zhang Han asked back as soon as he opened his mouth. When Vargas translated it, Domingo didn't understand the other party's meaning and couldn't help looking back.

"I will tell you about the six points raised by the envoy." Zhang Han stretched out a finger lightly and said, "First of all, I am sorry for the outbreak of the previous war? So can I tell you how the previous war broke out? How did this regret come about? Does this regret refer to your regret for the defeat of the war or the regret for the cause of the war?"

Domingo opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Zhang Han continued: "I would like to ask, is the envoy of your country or the envoy of the New Spanish colony? If it is the former, has the envoy found the wrong object? The envoy is only part of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the Governor or the official, it is just the minister of His Majesty the Emperor. As a minister, without the authorization of His Majesty the Emperor and the court, he has no right to negotiate with your country between countries. If it is the latter, it is even more confusing. Why does the envoy not go directly to the local area to communicate through normal channels, but instead come to Pingyi City? Please don't think about it anymore. With the identity and demands of the envoy, I am afraid that we will not be able to make the decision at all, so other matters in the future do not need to be continued."

As soon as Zhang Han finished speaking, Ma Changbao nodded: "Mr. Zhang said very much, this is a big taboo to worship Buddha and mistakes. Is there no high and low status in the Kingdom of Spain? Can a mere colonial government be the king's home?"

Ma Changbao's words immediately made everyone laugh. This guy was clearly deliberately mocking the other party. However, Vargas did not translate his words, but looking at the other party's appearance, Domingo would not know that the other party was making fun of him, and his face suddenly turned red.

Pan Mengyuan interrupted at this time: "What Lord Zhang said is very true. The so-called reputation is not right. I am just a governor appointed by the court, but I do not have the right to negotiate with your country. Therefore, I am afraid that it will be a waste of time for the visit. It is better for the envoy to rest here for a few days, have a good time, and then go back as soon as possible. As for the funeral, how about the envoy who can go to our Ming Dynasty for negotiations on their own?"

Domingo was stunned and a little anxious. He thought of everything before, and estimated that the Ming Dynasty would definitely refute the six points he proposed. In fact, the so-called six points are just a reason. No matter what the regrets or compensation are, they are a fig leaf.

The Spanish Kingdom lost Luzon and was beaten like a stray dog ​​by the Ming Empire in the Far East. It has become a laughing stock in the entire Europe. At present, the Spanish Kingdom is willing to take revenge, but it has no ability to retaliate. After weighing the pros and cons, it can only settle for the second and use this method to find some face.

In the Spanish side, all they need is a decent one, and at the same time, using this contact to ease the relationship between the two parties and gain some benefits from it.

But no one expected that Pan Mengyuan would play with her in accordance with the common sense and directly blocked her from the grounds that the local government had no right to negotiate. What did Domingo say?

If it was bargaining, Domingo was still prepared, but he pushed back directly, which made him helpless. In desperation, Domingo subconsciously looked at Julio on the side, his eyes full of help.

"This idiot!" Julio immediately cursed in his heart, and at the same time he thought to himself that it was not good.

Originally, as the deputy envoy, he did not intend to speak because his plan was to use the name of the deputy envoy to conduct an investigation on Xinming's territory, and at the same time to formulate the national policy for the future of Spain. But now Domingo looks at him like this, and he thinks that the others on the scene are fools. It is clearly telling everyone that the real decision is himself, not his so-called righteous envoy.

But at this point, Julio has no other way, so he can't let the situation stay here? In desperation, Julio can only stand up and explain.

"Dear Governor, as well as this general and Lord, we came this time through the authorization of His Majesty the King, not only on behalf of the New Spanish colonial government, but also on behalf of the Spanish Kingdom to contact the Ming Empire. Of course, the other party's concerns are clear. From the perspective of the rule of a country, your country's control over the local area is really touching, and your loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor also makes me admire you very much."

Julio came up and put a high hat on the other side, and hyped a few words without a trace, then continued: "We both know the current situation that the Battle of Luzon in the Far East has ended. Because of this war, the normal relationship between our two countries has broken down. This is a very regrettable and regretful. Looking back at the outbreak of the war, the Kingdom of Spain naturally has a certain responsibility, but from the real reason, the Kingdom of Spain is also a victim. Please understand this below."
