It's dawn.

The dawn is broken through the dawn.

At this moment, Wang Wenjun, who had been in a sleep, was exhausted and yawning.

He went to see the house in person from the back hall.

House sat in a sedan chair.

Of course, he cannot leave Zhenjiang yet, but will temporarily rest in a courtyard under arrangement.

However, after Wang Wenjun and House farewell, they were worried.

The conditions proposed by House are harsh.

These things are actually inseparable from the polishing.

So he walked back to the back hall with his hands behind his back.

The tea has long been cold.

In order to prevent anyone from exploring the negotiations between him and Haus, Deng Yanzhi was the one who poured water from tea.

Deng Yanzhi poured a new pair of tea for Wang Wenjun.

Wang Wenjun took it off, yawned repeatedly, then looked up and looked at Deng Yanyi: "Mr. Deng, what do you think?"

"After a night of talk, the bad news is...they have too much appetite. They actually need ten million taels of gold when they open their mouths. In addition, five general trading ports in Macau, they also have to allow them to build forts and commercial ports there and build forts. Of course, these are actually expected, but... they are asking me to implement a maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty and not allow me to build a ship in the Ming Dynasty to go into the sea. This makes it unreasonable."

Wang Wenjun sighed and said, "Yes, it's actually nothing. I have been implementing the maritime ban for so many years, but... it's another matter to be strictly enforced by them."

"But... I heard..." Deng Yanzhi said: "I heard that there was such an agreement between the Dutch and the Japanese. The Japanese banned the Japanese and only allowed the Dutch merchant ships to enter and exit Japan, and only allowed the Japanese merchants to trade with the Netherlands. But you see, the Japanese are not good, and I have never heard of any chaos. It can be seen that this is not bad. If the problem is bad, what is the name of the bad one."

Wang Wenjun said: "You just told bad news, what about the good news?"

Deng Yanzhi said: "Congratulations to the prince, the man who did not give in. In fact... it can be seen that the other party really came with sincerity. As long as the negotiation is completed, they will definitely abide by the agreement."

"But the court..." Wang Wenjun hesitated a little.

Deng Yanzhi's way: "The prince...it's so hard to wait."

Wang Wenjun still lowered his head and thought.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, he just wants to escape from his shell now.

But he also knew that this matter was not small and might cause any future consequences.

"I think about it again."

"If you keep going, you will suffer from chaos."

Wang Wenjun nodded but said nothing.

Deng Yanzhi shook his head: "I'm afraid that there will be no more waiting. Students will say goodbye first and go find out if the Folang Jiman is willing to wait for more days."

Wang Wenjun suddenly called him: "Mr. Deng..."

Deng Yanzhi stopped and looked at Wang Wenjun.

But Wang Wenjun was holding the hot teacup, and then he said leisurely: "How much money have they given you?"

Deng Yanzhi immediately said, "Why did the prince say this? I am all for our Ming Dynasty, for you, Prince."

Seeing Deng Yanzhi's heartbroken look, it seemed that he had suffered a huge grievance.

Wang Wenjun stared at him: "You honestly reply, don't think that you can hide it from me by relying on this... I am not a deaf or a mute. Some things... If you want others to know, don't do it unless you do it yourself."

Deng Yanzhi's face suddenly became awkward. He saw the severity on Wang Wenjun's face, so that Deng Yanzhi began to doubt whether it was his own business... being... the prince...

"Bang!" The teacup was slapped on the desk, and Wang Wenjun almost slapped the table.

Deng Yanzhi looked sad: "One hundred thousand taels, I first gave 100,000 taels, and then... I said I would add another 100,000 taels."

"What?" Wang Wenjun said in surprise: "I gave you so much?"

Deng Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "The prince... the students are just by the way. Although they have some selfish thoughts, they do..."

"Ha..." Wang Wenjun sneered.

He has poor military capabilities.

The level of diplomatic negotiations is really bad.

But at this moment, he felt a hint of indescribable wisdom: "You, a friend of mine, are willing to give you 200,000 taels. It seems... in order to sign this peace agreement with me, they hope that I will start the court and persuade the court to be grateful. They must be willing to make great efforts."

After saying that, Wang Wenjun said lightly: "Tell them that if there is no one million taels of silver, you can't do this. If you have real money, you have to send it to my hometown in person, and you must cover up your eyes and ears. If there is a slight mistake, don't mention this matter... I'll stop talking about it. I'd rather break my jade than make a tile."

Wang Wenjun was just constantly sucking in the cold air at this time.

One million, thanks to his opening.

I saw Deng Yanzhi standing there staggeringly.

Wang Wenjun said leisurely: "This is a last resort. I have to do it. I have to do it for my own affairs after I have fallen to this point. Even if I have made arrangements and facilitated them, I have saved the people of the world. But what kind of face should I be in the court? At that time, I am afraid that I will take the initiative to become a scholar. From then on, I will return to my hometown to spend my old age. What I do... will there be countless criticisms in the future. Can I watch myself ruined? Can people not care about their reputation? These money are not only for the sake of my Wang family, but also for taking out some money to do some good deeds, so that I can remember some of my benefits..."

Speaking of this, Wang Wenjun said: "I always have to let people know that I have tried my best to deal with these pirates. If the court was the one who came, I could only do this to my level. I was burdened with the infamy of peace talks, but I have saved the people and the people, right and wrong, and later generations have commented that I am a traitor, or a pillar of the country that will be supported and turned the tide, and sooner or later people will know."

Deng Yanzhi understood.

To leave a good reputation, you have to be worth a black hat and money.

With these two things, more children of the family can be allowed to become officials in the future and make friends with more people.

As for right and wrong, merit and demerit... it depends on the descendants of future generations and descendants, and rely on those disciples and former officials?

Deng Yanzhi's way: "Students go and talk about it."

"So quickly."

…………

Two days later, the new conditions were agreed upon.

The man from Folang Ji asked for a silver of 13 million taels.

As for the promised one million taels of silver, it will naturally be offered.

For other things, as long as the Ming Dynasty agrees, the fleet will stop attacking.

When Wang Wenjun heard this, the other party actually increased the price. It was only one million taels, but he agreed to it happily, and for a moment he regretted it.

If I had known that I had agreed so happily, I would have to have two million taels.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue bargaining.

Deng Yanzhi brought a terrible news: "The prince, the prince... Yangzhou... Yangzhou has an accident!"

Wang Wenjun: “…”

…………

The European joint fleet gathered together this time and they directly attacked Yangzhou.

In fact, Europeans are already anxious now.

Only then did they realize that something might be wrong with Ryukyu.

This means that the supply in the rear can no longer support them to continue to consume.

Fortunately, Wang Wenjun seemed to have a tendency to discuss peace, so before the Ming Dynasty court negotiated peace, they had to give them some color.

Hundreds of ships, forty or fifty thousand people gathered together to attack Yangzhou.

Within a few days, the whole of Yangzhou was in chaos. The villages along the way were filled with beacons rising everywhere.

Fortunately, many military and civilians have already left after hearing the news.

But the worst thing is that the Yangzhou canal ships were burned to death.

There were thousands of soldiers and civilians who were plundered. For a moment, these wives and children were wailed throughout Yangzhou.

But after the attack, they retreated immediately, never stopping, and did not give any time to react to the Ming army. So, in the early morning of that day, everyone returned to the ship, and then... countless ships sailed out to sea and slowly headed towards the direction of the blue waves of thousands of miles.

This time when the Yangzhou attacked, the joint fleet thought of going to Ryukyu first, and finding ways to recapture the Dutch port first, and then make plans. On the other hand, they were also waiting for news from the Ming court.

This vast fleet of ships, along the route, was windy today.

It was precisely because of the strong wind that all warships removed their main sails.

The stronger the wind, the more you cannot raise the sail, otherwise the ship will easily be buried under the sea.

Therefore... the ship had to slowly float along the route along the blue waves.

The sailors were on the Princess Mary, and they were laughing at this time, with too many spoils on the ship.

One of the sailors even wore a female crown that was found in some big mansion and worn on her head.

The news that accompanied the boat said that this was a woman's crown, and only the wife of the imperial decree was qualified to wear it, so... this must have been copied from a giant official's family.

After hearing this, the sailor with the female crown became even more proud, and the sound of excitement echoed at the bow of the ship.

Just at this moment...

Suddenly, the person watching on the watchtower suddenly slipped down the pole and then exclaimed: "There are enemy ships and enemy ships."
To be continued...
