Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One Fighting for Sea Power Thirteen
There was a silence in the main hall, and Zheng Zhibao was involved, and a group of rude pirates didn't dare to talk too much.
A hint of worry flashed in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, "It's good that Lao Wu is fine, what do you Luzon want to talk about?"
Jiang Baolin smiled and said, "Simple, we ask that from then on, the Zheng family will give up all the strongholds on Taiwan Island and transfer them all to General Luzon's Mansion."
"At the same time, the southeast coast involves Japan, North Korea, and the South China Sea maritime trade must be handled by my family. The Zheng family and other maritime merchants must trade with the trade certificate issued by my family."
"Bastard, you're delusional."
"I've fought with you"
As soon as the Luzon army asked, the Zheng family wanted to draw their swords and chop people.
Li Laosan and others pulled out their waists on the spot and threatened Jiang Baolin with a fierce look on their faces.
If the Zheng family agreed to this condition, wouldn’t it be equivalent to giving up all the profits of the maritime trade to Luzon?
Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he coughed lightly, and after a long time, he looked at Jiang Baolin with disgust.
"This is impossible. There are so many people in my Zheng family to support. If this is true, I will not need to be the general. If your family insists, please come back, and my brother won't care."
Jiang Baolin smiled dissatisfiedly. This condition was originally proposed by You Degao and others for a sky-high price, so it was naturally the subsequent price reduction.
Now the Zheng family still has more than half of its strength, and no one would agree to this kind of condition.
"General Zheng, don't be anxious. You have to pay attention to three in and three out when doing business. What do you think?"
"I will admit that our captured soldiers are released and your family occupy the chicken cage will be allowed to do business in the Taiwan Strait in the future."
"Hahaha, General Zheng was joking." Jiang Baolin was laughing endlessly by Zheng Zhilong's conditions, and only looked at him with laughter and tears a few seconds later.
"In the battle of Keelung City, your strength has been greatly damaged. My family is free to come and go in this Taiwan Strait. How can you still need your permission? General Zheng must not be able to make a big move."
"I think it's you who are getting better and better," Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened, "Although our army was defeated a few days ago, the Ming Dynasty court behind me. How dare you and other small countries violate my power."
"Hahaha, generals don't need to scare me. I am better than anyone else in Luzon. I dare to ask the generals, right now, your court still sends out one soldiers and one soldiers to Fujian."
Jiang Baolin followed and stabbed him, "Besides, is the Ming Dynasty really willing to watch your family control the southeast? If the court soldiers really come, I'm afraid Fujian will change too."
Zheng Zhilong and others all changed their faces.
Jiang Baolin immediately struck while the iron was hot, "You and my family don't need to test it anymore. I, Luzon, know very well about the Zheng family, but your Zheng family has nothing to do with my family."
"Chief can tell that it is in the city of Qianzhou, Luzon
, My family's 20,000 troops are ready to go north to Taiwan to support it. At that time, I am afraid that there will be peace talks, but the Zheng family will withdraw from the southeast."
"It's too much!"
Zheng Zhilong's face became even worse. As Jiang Baolin said, Luzon knew very well about the Zheng family, but the Zheng family was unprepared. How could it be invincible?
Thinking of the Luzonian fleet parked outside the sea, Zheng Zhilong finally suppressed the violent in his heart and started a detailed conversation with Jiang Baolin again.
Jiang Baolin has already received full authorization from You Degao and others, and with Zheng Zhibao and others in hand, he is confident in his talk.
If Luzon hadn't had enough strength at the moment, I'm afraid that You Degao and others would have planned to directly destroy the Zheng family, so how could they still be so ink?
I heard that the Dutch in Tainan has been ready to move in recent months, so the Luzon peace talks are real.
Two hours later, accompanied by fierce eyes, Jiang Baolin successfully returned to the Sun Wu number.
"This is what has been negotiated at the moment. The Zheng family gave up all the strongholds on Taiwan Island to us, and at the same time gave up control over the coastal trade between Guangdong and Guangxi. Japan and North Korea can also allow us to trade on their own."
"In contrast, our army released Zheng Zhibao and all the prisoners of the Zheng family, and guaranteed not to enter trade in the southeast coast, especially Zhejiang."
In the captain's office of the Sun Wu, Jiang Baolin reported the results of his peace talks to the naval officers in a stern manner.
After listening to the introduction, You Degao stood up with excitement on his face and slapped Jiang Baolin on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, you did a good job. In this way, all the strategic goals of our army will be achieved. You must remember a great achievement."
In the captain's room, all the naval officers shouted happily.
Only Mao Yuanyi couldn't understand it, "Everyone, the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade Taiban comes from the southeast coast. We are now superior in strength and cannot control the southeast trade. This big end is still earned by the Zheng family. What's so happy about this?"
"Hahaha, the general doesn't know anything."
You Degao touched his chin proudly and explained: "I am different from other families. They need to go to the southeast to buy goods, but my family doesn't need it."
"This time, the sea route is opened to be able to trade directly with Japan and North Korea, and on the other hand, it is to open up the channel from Huguang to Guangdong and Guangxi so that a large amount of materials can be exported."
Zhao Jingyong stretched out his two fingers and showed off: "Can you know the annual cargo output of my family?"
Mao Yuanyi looked over quietly with a calm expression.
"By January this year, my family can produce goods worth 35 million taels in a year in mainland China. Although Luzon is newly built, it still produces about 2 million taels a year. Do you think you need to buy other goods?"
"hiss"
Mao Yuanyi
Gasping, "Three, 35 million taels, so much!"
Although Luzon is alone overseas, he still maintains regular communications with Liujia Village every year. As a senior member of the Liu family, Zhao Jingyong also knows a little about these economic data.
But in fact, although the goods produced by the Liu family are worth up to 35 million taels, the production efficiency is not higher than the sky.
You should know that the Liu family has controlled six or seven prefectures and counties in Sichuan, Huguang and Shaanxi. In addition, it has collected a lot of refugees in the past two years, and the actual population is as high as more than 1.2 million.
In summary, the average output of the Liu family is 29.2 taels of silver, which is only 2.6 times higher than that of the Ming Dynasty’s 11 taels.
But this is the result of Liu Ximing putting all his strength into improving production technology.
But when did Mao Yuanyi hear such detailed economic data? Such a strong impact suddenly made him feel a little excited.
Luzon is really here right.
Ignoring Mao Yuanyi's eyes of seeking knowledge, You Degao grinned, "That's it. Speaking of which, the Zheng family is not a loss. As long as the southeast coast is still in their hands, the Zheng family can maintain it."
"Besides, the Penghu Islands are still in their hands, and the imperial court can also explain the past. As for the future, hehe."
"Hehe", Zhao Jingyong and others laughed as they angrily.
Mao Yuanyi's face suddenly became unswerving, and Zhao Jingyong hurriedly explained with a smile:
"General, don't think we are planning to tear down the agreement, but according to my second brother's judgment, the Ming Dynasty will probably not last for a few years. By then, the Zheng family, as the general of the Ming Dynasty, will not be attacking him by my family, but he wants to serve."
Mao Yuanyi's expression improved a little and nodded to express understanding.
What is funny is that at this time, Chinese scholars still pay attention to some trust and righteousness, but this is not necessarily the case in foreign affairs.
For example, the Battle of Liaoluo Bay ten years ago was caused by Fujian Governor Nan Juyi luring the Dutch to go ashore and killing them.
In terms of executing the contract, the Chinese are much worse than those of European white-skinned people.
In view of this, when Liu Ximing was still in Luzon, he specifically emphasized the foreign strategy of "keeping trustworthy and respecting promises". Of course, what should be fought in wars should be fought, but what should be negotiated must be abide by.
It is precisely for this reason that with the determination of the peace talks between Liu and Zheng, Luzon's side strongly demanded that the signing ceremony of the peace talks be held.
On September 22, represented by Zheng Zhilong's second brother Zheng Zhilin, Luzon Navy Governor You Degao officially signed a peace agreement with him on Quanzhou Bay.
The battle between Liu and Zheng, which lasted for three months, came to an end.
