Chapter 119 Unequal treaty, sign it (23)

Nalan Mingzhu, who was a bachelor of Wuyingdian at that time, came all the way to Fuzhou, the forefront of the war in Fujian, and he was really brave.

Of course, he did not dare to personally serve as an envoy to Ming and Zheng. He believed that the pirates were immoral and would be in great trouble if they were killed. Now that he had power over the entire government, he felt comfortable.

After arriving in Fuzhou, the first thing he did was not to negotiate peace, but to bring the eunuch who delivered the order to see Shi Lang.

On this day, "Four Ministers" Shi Lang received Kangxi's imperial edict, which was like a thunderbolt.

The eunuch who delivered the order said coldly: "Mr. Shi, please obey the order."

Shi Lang's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he suddenly shouted: "They say he is the Holy Emperor, how could it be like this? The Ming and Zheng sea pirates have strong ships and powerful guns. It is not a crime of war, it is not a crime of war!"

The eunuch winked at the sergeants on the left and right, and said with a look of disgust on his face: "You are still talking nonsense when you are about to die, and you don't know how to accumulate blessings for your descendants."

Seeing the sergeants surrounding him, Shi Lang's first reaction was to run away!

He also thought that Kangxi would execute him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Even in the so-called desperate situation, he will try and never give up until the last moment.

He was vague about Ming and Zheng's land power, so he didn't know how to negotiate suitable conditions for the next step.

He believed that the Qing Dynasty only lost its navy and was not without the ability to fight back. The Qing Dynasty's land power had not suffered any losses at all. Seeing as how Ming Zheng only dared to stay on the island, he actually asked for such a high price.

Having said that, Nalan Mingzhu has also been inspected, and the recapture of Quanzhou is just because they don't want it anymore.

Nalan Mingzhu thought hard and wrote back a letter: It is okay not to surrender, but it is absolutely impossible to cede the country. The Qing Dynasty promised to pay one million taels of silver, open the Guangzhou trade port, and then stop there. Ming and Zheng should not come to rob the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty also defaulted to Kinmen, and Xiamen belonged to the Ming and Zheng Dynasties.

Giving Shi Lang death was the first task of Nalan Mingzhu, and the second task was to negotiate peace.

The years he spent in Beijing made his martial arts deteriorate a lot.

The only force that could accept his defection had only one choice, and that was the Netherlands.

Shi Lang was still struggling when he was tied to a pillar.

The sergeant couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Shi Lang hard on the face.

The right to trade is not impossible, but Hangzhou cannot. The prosperous areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the main source of Qing tax revenue, cannot be touched by Ming and Zheng. This is the lifeblood of the country.

How can you give the bottom line the first time?

Zheng Kezang, who plays Europa Universalis all year round, likes the negotiation part the most.

Stop inward migration, how is that possible? This violates the bottom line.

Even though he was controlled, Shi Lang still didn't give up on surviving.

The first letter written to Zheng Kezang to discuss peace was slightly insincere. He asked Zheng to become a minister and pay tribute in the Ming Dynasty, and then he could be granted the title of Jin, Xia, and Yizhou Island, make him the vassal king of the Qing Dynasty, and reward him with a princess.

give him.

The news that Shi Lang was sentenced to death spread, and the survivors of the Fujian Navy were filled with grief.

Unfortunately, the sergeants brought by Nalan Mingzhu did not give Shi Lang any chance, and they controlled him with three strikes, five divided by two.

He is just an invincible little strongman, a bug, who can save his life and escape from danger many times.

From Zheng Kezang's perspective, this is completely equal. If you lose, you have to listen to me.

Shi Lang whined twice in pain, obviously stunned by the slap.

When Yao Qisheng saw this, he also comforted him: "Lord Mingzhu, Wan Zhengse is leading the troops. The pirates will retreat after hearing this. Now that Quanzhou has been recovered, we don't need to negotiate peace with this officer."

It is impossible to cede Fujian. It is okay to pay compensation, but it cannot be 10 million taels, and the maximum is 2 million taels.

"That's all, let's find a reason to disband and return to the field. If we suffer another defeat, maybe I will be the next Shi Lang." Chen Mang thought in his heart.

With such harsh conditions, when Nalan Mingzhu first received the letter from Zheng Kezang, she immediately flew into a rage: "Shu Zi!"

Why?

Because they all surrendered to Ming and Zheng, and even big bosses like Shi Lang died so quickly, wouldn't they be even worse off?

Among these people, Commander-in-Chief Chen Mang felt the most unhappy. He was also a loyal follower of Ming Zheng, and he was also a confidant of Mr. Guo. At least Shi Lang had someone who had killed his father and brother to cover up, but he had nothing.

Giving him poisonous wine is too cheap.

Isn't this an unequal treaty?

Zheng Kezang doesn't think so. This is a defeat treaty. If you lose, you have to pay a price. There can be no equality. A fight is in vain. How about a truce?

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he stared blankly ahead.

He didn't even give him a chance to say his last words, and it was just a happy ending.

Several sergeants, regardless of his state, forced the poisoned wine into his mouth.

So he doesn't believe in fate, he only believes in himself.

Of course, Zheng Kezang was still not satisfied and sent him away as a beggar with one million taels of silver!

Then send another letter: cede Chaozhou Prefecture, Zhangzhou Prefecture, and Quanzhou Prefecture, compensate military expenses of 8 million taels of silver, and open trade with Guangzhou and Hangzhou.

Therefore, equality and inequality are a matter of stance.

Shi Lang's death caused a chain reaction in the Fujian Navy, which will inevitably make the reconstruction of the Daqing Navy even more troublesome.

You really have no sincerity, you didn’t give him anything, and you just want him to be treated like a dog?

Kangxi also considered this, but he couldn't do it without killing him. He was always known for his decisiveness, so he had no choice but to send this slave to the underworld. He didn't know who Shi Lang would recognize as his master after he went to the underworld.

Perhaps it was his own responsibility to make Shi Lang the admiral, so Kangxi did not embarrass Shi Lang's descendants too much, he just demoted him to a commoner.

Zheng Kezang opened his mouth and wrote back: If you want peace, cede Fujian there, pay another 10 million taels of silver for military expenses, give Ming and Zheng trade rights in Guangzhou and Hangzhou, and stop the inward migration of people from Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places.

.

Especially after defeating a big country, you must do everything you can to weaken it, no matter how disgusting you are.

Just like he negotiated peace with Zheng Jing, he communicated through letters, which would be like "online dating" in later generations.

Maybe Zheng Kezang didn't expect that Shi Lang, the great enemy of Ming Zheng, would disappear so quickly!

Zheng Kezang actually wanted to capture this kind of thief alive, drag him to Caishikou, and stab him one after another, making him die slowly in pain.

Nalan Mingzhu slammed the table on the spot. This was not a negotiation, it was clearly blackmail.

Moreover, being a vassal king in the Qing Dynasty did not end well. As for negotiations, we still need to talk more.

Shi Lang withdrew from the stage of history like this, which is very sad. He stayed in Beijing for thirteen years and rarely seized the opportunity, but was taken away by Zheng Kezang.

To be honest, Nalan Mingzhu's conditions were quite pertinent and did not harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty too much. Zheng Kezang could barely accept it after seeing it.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Even though he was tied like a rice dumpling, he still moved like an earthworm.

This time it was relatively less exaggerated, but Nalan Mingzhu still couldn't accept it.

If he ceded so much land, Kangxi would have to cut him with a knife.

He had no choice but to continue talking. He insisted on not ceding the land, which made Zheng Kezang a little unable to talk.

What should I do if I can’t talk?

Then follow Europa Universalis, add some war points, and get some chips!
