When Pan Mengyuan learned of the true identity of Count Julio, his expression suddenly became solemn.

If it were just an envoy sent by the ordinary Spanish colonial government, Pan Mengyuan, as the governor of Xinming, would naturally not care. However, Julio's identity was special. He actually came to negotiate on behalf of the will of the Spanish king and the kingdom, which was naturally extraordinary.

"Lao Ba, Spain lost Luzon in the South China Sea, and was suppressed by me in the New World before, so I couldn't even get angry. Why did Julio come here from Europe? And he deliberately pretended to be a deputy envoy to negotiate with us?" Ma Changbao didn't understand the deep meaning and couldn't help but ask.

Vargas smiled bitterly and shook his head: "General Ma, how do I know this? You must understand that I am just a businessman, not a politician, and I have not returned for many years. As for the king and earl you mentioned, for ordinary people like me, I am a noble person. If it weren't for the invitation of the Governor today, I would not even have the chance to meet Earl Julio."

When Pan Mengyuan saw Ma Changbao still asking, he immediately coughed and said, "Okay, Lao Ba knows only a limited amount of knowledge about this, so don't make things difficult for him. But now that he has figured out the other party's identity, this is also a good thing. At least we can be sure that the Kingdom of Spain has the will to stop the conflict with our Ming Dynasty and ease the cooperation between the two sides. As for the reasons, it is because we are afraid of being beaten or otherwise, this is not something we can consider. So let's discuss it first, how to reply to the requests made by Count Julio?"

Vargas was clearly a so-called person in the audience. Although he had a civil servant, he had no say in this matter. As a pure general, Ma Changbao was a little embarrassed to make him judge these things, so when Pan Mengyuan asked about this, he looked at Zhang Han and asked about Zhang Han's suggestions.

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "This matter should be reported to the local government as soon as possible, and the emperor and the military ministers will decide. As for the relationship between the two sides of the New World, there is no problem in stopping hostility in the military. After all, there is no need to continue to target New Spain at the moment. You can agree to the other party and write it in your letter to the court. As for other cooperation, in my opinion, let's relax the commerce and trade first. There are many good things in New Spain. If you can trade normally, it will be a good advantage for us. As for the others, should you wait for the court's reply?"

Pan Mengyuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then let's do this for now. I'm also troubled by the trouble of Lord Zhang to make a charter in the past few days. Let's discuss it and reply to the other party."

Just when Pan Mengyuan and others in Xinming unexpectedly welcomed the visit of Count Julio and learned that the Spanish Kingdom was taking the initiative to ease relations with the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng in the palace received an unexpected news in Beijing thousands of miles away, that is, the Qing Dynasty, who had already arrived in Gansu, actually sent an envoy to ask for a visit to Zhu Yicheng.

"What are these two more?" When Zhu Yicheng heard the name of the Qing envoy mentioned by He Xianzu, he was stunned.

Xiao Yongzao, Cha Shenxing, these two were old friends of the Ming Dynasty. I remember that during the Kangxi Dynasty, they ran to Nanjing and persuaded Zhu Yicheng, who was still a state-supervisor at that time, to surrender.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and Zhu Yicheng has even forgotten these two guys. Today, they have become envoys who come to the Ming Dynasty again for missions, but this time they are not here to persuade them to surrender, because the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty that occupied only the Jiangnan area, and has become the lord of the world, and the country in those days has become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"It was these two people. Maybe the Qing Dynasty thought that old friends were easy to deal with, right?" He Xianzu said with a smile. His words made Zhu Yicheng laugh. It seemed that Prince Yong, who already had real power, had a deep intention and specially selected the two people who had dealt with him.

"What did the Qing Dynasty send people to see me? Did the Qing Dynasty feel that it could not continue to fight and planned to completely surrender to me?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile.

"The Emperor's Holy Lord!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yicheng's joke was released, He Xianzu replied excitedly, which made Zhu Yicheng stunned.

He looked at He Xianzu in confusion, but saw He Xianzu happily said, "The emperor guessed it is good at all. I have inquired. This time, Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing came to submit a letter to the Qing Dynasty."

"The above statement is sanctioned? Are you sure?"

"I am sure!" He Xianzu insisted on the railway line: "Not only that, the Qing Dynasty proposed to take the throne to the emperor and regard our Ming Dynasty as the orthodox world. He hoped to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for generations and never betrayed."

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng looked a little solemn. He never expected that Prince Yong would do such a move. He sent Xiao Yongzao to Cha Shenxing to bring the imperial edict of Emperor Jianxing in the name of an envoy. At the same time, he regarded himself as a vassal and praised the Ming Dynasty.

This matter is too big. On the surface, it is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. It means that the Qing Dynasty completely withdrew from orthodoxy and no longer had the intention to go to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, in the eyes of almost all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, this is also a proof of the victory of the Ming Dynasty. As long as Zhu Yicheng agrees, the Ming Dynasty can be said to have completed the unification of the world and become the master of the unification of China.

But Zhu Yicheng thought of another point, what was the purpose of Prince Yong doing this? Prince Yong is not an ordinary person. Didn’t he know that once he was given the throne, the so-called Qing Dynasty would disappear? In the future, as a foreign vassal, the Qing Dynasty was just a minister of the Ming Dynasty and lost the possibility of continuing to compete for the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng shook his head in his heart. He thought it was absolutely impossible to be so simple. The so-called resignation of the throne and surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was probably just a means of Prince Yong. He did this to solve the orthodox problem of Jianxing as an emperor within the Qing Dynasty, the second was to preserve the remaining territory and strength of the Qing Dynasty, and the third was to use this method to dispel the Ming Dynasty's hostile attitude towards the Qing Dynasty.

Apart from these, Prince Yong had many other reasons. It can be said that he handed over a position of emperor that could no longer be worthy of his name, and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in name, in exchange for a series of benefits. This deal was not a loss for the Qing Dynasty.

However, Prince Yong did this, on the surface, so that the Ming Dynasty could get everything he wanted, and Zhu Yicheng could imagine that once the news came out, many ministers would inevitably be extremely happy and even persuaded themselves to agree to the other party's conditions.
