Chapter 54 Negotiation, there will always be good news for negotiation

Every action of the generals in the border village must be in line with the political direction of the imperial court.

As for now, for the Lantian imperial court, it is the most urgent task to quickly improve the living standards of the people. Let the people quickly enjoy the benefits brought by the new dynasty that can be seen and experienced by themselves is the focus of all work.

It is not necessary to expand territory, unless it can help the dynasty achieve the goal of improving people's living standards.

Too much is too little!

When expanding territory becomes a burden to the people and is not helpful to national defense, it is just purely expanding territory, such a war is meaningless and particularly stupid.

Many times, the amount of territory depends on needs. This need depends on the present and the future, which requires a certain vision and mind.

Yun Zhao himself had a deep experience of this. When he was a civil servant, he had heard many legends. It is said that in difficult times, in order to prepare for war, the country prepared to move some famous universities in the capital to Longzhong to protect... As a result, it was rejected by the officials at that time... The excuse was that there was not enough food to support these universities... and then, there was nothing.

He also heard that the famous tourist site Jiuzhaigou was originally the jurisdiction of Longzhong, but because he despised the place as poor at that time, he was forced to Sichuan by the powerful Longzhong officials, and then...

Many times, vision determines the future, and Yun Zhao has this vision, or in other words, the people in this world are not as long-term as his vision.

Therefore, after Yun Zhao tried his best to explore for a while, he immediately stopped this uncontrollable development. At present, the land developed by the generals was enough for the Ming people for a hundred years.

You should know that every 100 miles away, the cost of governance will increase by more than 10%.

As for the train, telegram, which Yun Zhao has devoted great effort... it is still impossible to deal with it now, and horse hooves are still the fastest way to deliver messages.

The war on West Island is full of chaos!

The Yun clan soldiers who were always afraid of war finally slowly entered the state. After annihilated the 3,126 people from the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Fairfax, the commander of the British Fairfax, Colonel Irving Havel, their self-confidence was significantly improved. In this case, they seemed at ease when facing the Dutch armed sailors.

After the commander of Lai Guorao's fleet replenished ammunition to the Yunwen Legion, he transported away a batch of gold. Then he threw Yunwen on this island that was severely ravaged by artillery and hid it again in the vast sea.

Han Xiufen's large fleet still did not arrive.

In other words, she had forgotten the Yun clan soldiers guarding the island. Even with Liu Mingliang constantly reminding him, he could not wake up Han Xiufen, the person who pretended to be sleeping.

So the Dutch, French, and Spanish began to unite to attack this treasure-filled island.

Such behavior was allowed. According to the practice of the sea, they robbed things that the British wanted. As for the Ming people, because of the undeclared war, they were pirates at this time.

The Portuguese warship suddenly disappeared from the Indian Ocean. Lai Guorao was very surprised at this. When he hurried to the eastern coast of India to prepare to attack the Portuguese camp, he realized that it had turned into a pile of ruins.

The Portuguese corpses were hung on the coconut trees by the sea by the local indigenous people, and the smell was so stinking...

The Ming warships attacked the British-ruled West Island and the Portuguese fleet, and the rumors of shameless murder of the Portuguese territory were spreading on the sea.

Baron Nelson took advantage of the fear of the Ming Dynasty by other European countries and easily formed the European Union in India.

By January 1, the sixth year of China, Han Xiufen's large fleet still did not come out of the Strait of Malacca, while Lai Guorao's first squadron frequently began to harass the European warships besieging West Island.

The war formed a terrible stalemate at this moment.

During the three consecutive months of war, no European could live on West Island overnight, which was the record of Yunwen.

The island could not be attacked and there was no advantage in the naval battle. In addition, the Earl of Raymond returned from the Ming fleet alive. At his suggestion, negotiations became the main topic.

Zhang Chuanli participated in the negotiations, but he didn't say a word throughout the whole process. The person who helped him speak was Renn.

Everyone deliberately ignored West Island and the Portuguese.

A huge British man drew a map of India, which was clearly divided by four colors of lines, which were horizontal and vertical, just like cutting a cake, which was as comfortable as you look at it.

After the negotiations, Zhang Chuanli also discovered that the huge amount of linen stockings hoarded in the Ming Dynasty had been sold out at the negotiating table.

The linen that could not be sold in the Ming Dynasty turned into cotton, spices, precious woods, and precious seafood in this negotiation.

According to Zhang Chuanli's calculations, he can earn six times the profit.

However, in this negotiation, only the Ming Dynasty's porcelain, silk, paper, and Chinese patent medicines were tied together and could only be sold through these companies.

After these matters were agreed, Han Xiufen finally came. Everyone sat together and drank a drink. Everyone looked very happy, not at all like the opponents they had fought against each other.

What surprised Zhang Chuanli the most was that after abandoning his past grudges, the group unanimously agreed that the Ottoman Emperor had become everyone's new enemy.

"We always need a common enemy so that everyone can give up their differences and finally form a rope. The advantage of this war is that we lifted our Ming Dynasty from the enemy's position and lifted the Ottoman Empire up.

As time passes slowly, people will forget the tragic wars we once had and will only covet the wealth of the Ottoman Empire.

First establish an enemy for yourself. This is the habit of Europeans. If there is no clear enemy, they will be restless."

Han Xiufen explained to Zhang Chuanli.

Leonie said: "My father said that this negotiation seems to have caused a lot of losses to my Ming Dynasty, but in his opinion, if I can maintain the current situation for more than ten years.

Communication and trade between the East and the West will become a reality.

The Ottoman Empire will also fall into a quagmire. After we control India, it will be time for the Ottoman Empire to enter the sunset.

This is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty. You must know that the main reason why trade between the East and the West cannot be expanded is that the official pirates of the Ottoman Empire controlled the Arabian Sea."

Zhang Chuanli sighed and said, "This method has been used to rotten the world when His Majesty is here. Eat one, pick one up one with chopsticks, and look at another one with your eyes..."

West Island looks very clean, but unfortunately the beach is smelly.

The Dutch, French, and Spanish have already buryed the bodies of their soldiers who died in battle. However, these days, it has been difficult to make a fresh smell because there have been too many corpses on this beach.

Yunwen proudly welcomed the Malacca Governor General Han Xiufen to the land. He deliberately piled up the seized weapons together for Han Xiufen to show.

He hopes to get a good review from Han Xiufen so that he can complete the training task in Nanyang.

But Han Xiufen ignored him, and he didn't even have the interest to look at him. He looked at him with a dark face and knew that an old Nanyang soldier came out of the army, handed a notebook to Han Xiufen and turned around and left without entering the queue again.

"Safety Department, or the Secret Spies Department?"

Yunwen asked Lao Zhou with a smile.

Old Zhou looked grim, gritted his teeth and stood out from the queue and shouted: "Report to General Qi, all the wars are commanded by me, Zhou Qiliang. If there is any inappropriateness, please punish me."

After hearing Lao Zhou's words, Yun Wen said depressedly to Yun Zhen standing beside him: "This old dog wants to seize the merit?"

Yunzhen whispered: "Go back and get rid of him, don't make a noise now, so as not to be laughed at by General Han."

Han Xiufen didn't hear what he said loudly to Old Zhou, but looked at the notebook handed over by the old Nanyang man seriously.

After reading the book, he said to Lao Zhou: "When will there be another slave in the Ming Dynasty?"

Old Zhou was trembling all over by Han Xiufen's sharp gaze as sharp as an eagle falcon. He swallowed and said, "My life was saved by the minister."

Han Xiufen sneered and said, "He saved your life, do you treat Yun Yang as your master?"

Old Zhou raised his chest and said, "I have no knowledge and only know how to save my life, but I can only repay you with a blessing."

Han Xiufen looked at Lao Zhou and said, "Yun Yang dared to maintain a private army. Why? Are he going to rebel? If he dragged on, he would be responsible for forty military sticks and expelled them from the barracks. If he dared to enter the barracks as a civilian, he would be severely punished!"

Old Zhou said in a trembling voice: "The general is kind to you, and his subordinates were ordered by the minister to protect Colonel Yunwen, and did not enter the military camp without authorization."

Seeing that Lao Zhou had been dragged away by the military judge, Yun Wen came to Han Xiufen and said, "Aunt Han, this old dog is working hard on weekdays. You just spared this for the sake of your nephew."

Han Xiufen looked at Yunwen with a smile and said, "Have your father ever told you about me?"

Yun Wen smiled and said, "That's natural. Dad always said that Aunt Han is the unparalleled commander of my Ming Dynasty and the person he admires the most in his life."

Han Xiufen smiled and said, "This lie is so thoughtful. Speaking of which, your father and I haven't seen each other for almost three years. The last time we met was the meeting where he, the Minister of War, was preparing to reduce the allocation of funds from our navy.

I told him at that time not to get caught by me. Once I catch it, don’t have to have a relationship with me.”

Han Xiufen had a smile on her face and her teeth were very white, but her eyes were cold. Looking at Yunwen, she looked like she was staring at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Yunwen turned around and ran away, but a huge force came from her back, causing his body to fly up.

He chewed the sand and was asking for forgiveness, but Han Xiufen said in a cold and disgusting voice: "As the chief of the army, you have made twenty-seven mistakes in a row, three of which were fatal mistakes, resulting in the innocent death of sixteen comrades in the army.

Yunwen, don’t talk about your useless dad today, even if your supreme uncle comes, don’t let me spare you!"
