Chapter 1419 Negotiations (2)
Obviously, Sony has crossed this bottom line.
Refuting, Wu Zheng was involved, and no one in the Qing government missions present could compare with Wu Zheng's identity.
The following is a big taboo in any dynasty, which is related to the rationality of rule.
This made officials from both sides salute Sony together.
Wu Zheng has been listening and has not made any more statement except for the initial publication of a guiding program.
This is also to avoid excessive differences in title status, causing unnecessary trouble.
Unfortunately, no one hurts the tiger's heart, and no one hurts the tiger.
Sony's accusation directly put Wu Zheng at the forefront of negotiations between the two sides.
"I don't know much about the battle situation in Fengyang Prefecture, so I won't comment. However, the Northern Expedition Army in Yangzhou, Huai'an and Xuzhou have already taken the initiative in the battlefield. As long as you are willing, three days, up to three days, I can pill the Qing army in Yangzhou... As for the Yanzhou army, I have no intention of immediately expeditioning the northern expedition, but there is a lesson in the past. It should be okay to defend Xuzhou. If you don't believe it, you might as well wait and see." Wu Zhengshi stood up, "Since the negotiation cannot be reached... let's not talk for the time being. Fight first, then talk... After the battle, you will know how to talk. But at that time, I want more than Xuzhou... a recess!"
After saying that, Wu Zheng left the seat.
Now, the participants on both sides were stunned. As for negotiations, quarrels were inevitable, but if they were to go on like this, I was afraid that they would not be able to continue the negotiations. If the eyes of the personnel on both sides could kill people, Sony would be afraid that they would be dead and without a complete body.
It's all this guy who caused trouble!
Sony was anxious. He knew he had made a big mistake.
He gave Wu Zheng a reason to make a scoundrel, but he gave it to him with his own hands.
"Please stay with you, King Wu!" Sony got up and ran towards Wu Zheng, but Wu Zheng's personal guard Lu Jincai grabbed the collar.
Sony was a man of a man, not short, on the contrary, he was taller than Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and other Mingchens. However, no matter how tall he was, he was not as tall as Lu Jincai. When Lu Jincai was lifted, his feet were off the ground, his neck was pinched, and his breathing was difficult, his hands were waved and his feet were kicked, like a chicken that was strangled and waiting to be slaughtered.
Suksaha was anxious and then rushed up, and accused Wu Zheng: "The two armies are fighting, and they don't kill them... Is the King of Wu trying to break the example?"
Wu Zheng waved his hand and frowned at Lu Jincai, "Just stop, stop, why are you doing so? I didn't see him being strangled to death by you, why don't you let go?"
Lu Jincai then paused Sony to the ground and took two steps back silently, but his eyes were staring at Sony to prevent him from suddenly attacking.
But obviously, this is unnecessary. The release of Sony fell softly to the ground, gasping and coughing violently like a broken bellow, making the negotiation scene particularly strange.
Suksaha and others quickly checked Sony. Seeing that there was nothing serious, they said to Wu Zheng: "The King of Wu is unreasonable. The two armies are fighting, and the two sides negotiate, have different positions and different interests, so there are naturally disputes... The King of Wu must not act voluntarily, causing the people of both sides to suffer again."
Wu Zheng was stunned. It turned out that the Tartars also talked about "benevolence and righteousness" and were actually concerned about the welfare of the people.
"Master Nala... Please come back to your seat, don't be rude to Your Highness the King of Wu!" Gu Yanwu stepped forward to smooth things over, and Huang Zongxi led Suksaha and others back.
Gu Yanwu accidentally approached Wu Zheng and whispered: "Does the prince want to break his promise?"
Wu Zheng sighed and said to the other party: "It's not that I'm using the excuse to make trouble, but the position between the two sides is too far apart... This gap can only be solved by fighting, and it's useless to polish the mouth."
Gu Yanwu said anxiously: "A prince was scared just now, and the other party may not be unwilling to give in... The prince will suppress it and wait and see what the changes are."
Wu Zheng had no choice but to agree, return to his main seat, and after sitting down, he closed his eyes and started to sleep.
However, to Wu Zheng's surprise, after this seemingly absurd drama, the other party's arrogance became much lower. They no longer quarreled, but focused their energy on how much money they used to redeem Xuzhou.
Wu Zheng couldn't help but complain in his heart that if he had known this, he would have to fire a few shots outside, and maybe even Yanzhou could sell some money.
It turns out that if Wu Zheng continues to think about this, he still wants to sell Shuntian Prefecture to the Qing court.
....
This talk lasted for two days, and I stopped moving on the issue of how much ransom to use.
Wu Zheng simply moved a soft couch, covered a screen, and got up in the negotiation venue.
Until the third day, Wu Zheng could no longer hold back, and he rushed out and shouted, "Is it over? I can't reach an agreement again... I'll go on a recess!"
So, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and redeemed Xuzhou Prefecture for 8 million taels of silver.
The next day's next agenda is Haizhou.
The two sides entered a stalemate again, but this time, Wu Zheng's "recess" trick was not good.
Suksaha and others were determined to retreat from Haizhou.
Wu Zheng was strange. Did the enemy have a support? Why did he suddenly become full of energy?
It was not until the meeting that Wu Zheng received a secret report that he understood why the enemy became full of energy. It was because the forwards of the joint fleets of various countries had sailed back to Hangzhou Bay and shelled the former Jinshan Guard.
Wu Zheng had a gloomy face and patted the letter in front of Song An, "Zheng Sen... Do he really want to join the foreigners?"
Song An shook his head and said, "Zheng Sen has never replied to the young master about the joint attack on the enemy fleet... But since the foreign fleet has already headed north, I think Zheng Sen is planning to join them in the flow. At least, he is also sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight, so as to benefit the fisherman."
Speaking of this, Song An suddenly said: "Before, Navy Wang Yilin was ordered to return to Chen Qianshan to stand by... The young master should have let Navy Wang Yilin move."
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The number of foreign fleets is large, the ships are strong and the cannons is powerful, and Wang Yilin Navy has only more than 100 ships, but only 100 enemies... You must wait for Wusong and Zhoushan Navy to join each other to have the opportunity to compete with the enemy."
Song An said sadly: "If Wusong and Zhoushan Navy were transferred out of the Yangtze River, the eighty or ninety thousand troops of Prince Ying of Fengyang would be out of control. It would be difficult to compete with the 30,400 troops of Duke Wei and Lord Liao in Jiangbei."
Wu Zheng slapped the table with some annoyance, "The things have been put together..."
Song An said: "Or why should we resolve the negotiations in front of us first? Stabilize Jiangbei, then turn around and completely quell the rebellion among the foreigners."
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It may not be as satisfactory as possible. The Qing court must have known that I had a fire behind my back. Only then did I feel confident. I guess Sony and Suksaha would use the drag-on technique to get more benefits."
"What should I do?"
"The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge... Maybe, let's talk first." Wu Zheng was also puzzled for a while. Although he was mentally prepared for this matter, Zheng Sen's silence made Wu Zheng a little disappointed. Could it be that the master of the country in history would not want to ask for Dongfan Island again?
