Daming 1805

Chapter 321 Don't Misunderstand, This Is Not Negotiation
In Sun Martin City, in the king's chamber.

King Sun Martin was wearing a jet-black white shirt, a pair of wrinkled breeches, and a mess of short hair, sitting weakly in his seat.

Under the gaze of a group of subordinates with the same miserable appearance, Madam Sun took a few deep breaths, raised his head and asked them:

"How's the situation today? Did Daming continue the shelling?"

A general immediately said:

"Not yet. The other party has not fired a cannon today. Maybe the ammunition supply is not available."

Martin Sun seemed slightly relieved:
"We're running out of shells as well. Did Ming's Yin troops launch an attack?"

The general immediately replied:
"No, today Da Ming didn't send troops to test, but was building their defense line."

Sun Martin was a little surprised:
"Building a defense line? Are the Ming people planning to besiege us for a long time?
"We have a lot of developed farmland behind us, it's useless to besiege us...

"By the way, has the number of chariots on the battlefield increased?"

I just inform you of one thing, I will receive and record the response message only two, accept and not accept.

"It turns out you're conveying such grossly misleading...

Zhu Jianxuan took out his pocket watch:
"From now on, count down 10 minutes, and whatever you're doing, it'll count down normally.

Zhu Jianxuan took a little look at Martin Sun who was filled with righteous indignation,
It seems that I don't quite understand why Martin Sun has this state:
"Let me ask you a question now, what is a negotiation?

Moreover, Martin Sun had a vague impression of the scene in front of him, especially this feeling.

"I haven't said no yet, I should say, I haven't responded officially.

So these officials and generals subconsciously probed to see the detailed content on the paper in Martin Sun's hand.

"If someone can't accept it, take your people to take the initiative to attack and break through."

"Let your majesty come to the door to talk, it's a little more spacious here, and the air is better..."

"Now the scene from three years ago is replaying, the military officer of Ming Dynasty gave an ultimatum instead of an invitation for peace talks.

"Although they have chariots and planes, they are difficult to concentrate and use here. The fuel supply is simply not available..."

"As long as it is a laborer who builds the canal, he will be free when the canal is completed, and all laborers are the same.

"If most of them don't accept it, then those who accept it will go to the front and surrender."

At the same time, all expressions that are not acceptable will be directly recorded as not acceptable.

"The projected duration of the canal is five years.

When Martin Sun was guessing what Daming was going to do, a guard ran in quickly:
"Your Majesty, Daming sent an envoy to meet you, saying that they brought the words of His Royal Highness Prince Dashi, Governor of Yinzhou of Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, we finally see the hope of victory."

The guards soon realized why the Daming officer didn't go in.

The place was silent.

"The purpose of my coming here is to tell you what His Royal Highness Prince Dashi means.

"Da Ming's representative gave us 10 minutes to discuss.

"Your Majesty is just an ordinary person..."

He bargained with Daming as a matter of course, saying that he hoped to stay where he was and become an independent duke-level vassal state.

"Once the 10 minutes are up, if you don't say the word accept, that's rejection!"

If I ask anything on my own initiative, the other party will not respond, and they will not listen to me at all.

"Da Ming also realized that this kind of place is difficult to break through."

There was no discussion at all, no consultation at all.

"As for the surrender before the battle... the effect is the same at present, basically it is sent to repair the canal."

"This matter was originally very simple, why did it become so complicated in your minds?

Martin Sun also breathed a sigh of relief:
"Quickly ask the messenger to come in..."

I feel that this Daming officer is really too polite, and he didn't directly scold it like a pig's nest.

"However, most of the current captives will be sent to Panama to build the Yinzhou Canal.

The question of breaking out was not answered, and it must have been eliminated directly.

Martin Sun is a little bit broken now, and wants to ask back in an almost growling tone.

Then a series of suppressed and painful exclamations sounded one after another.

"Is Daming finally willing to negotiate with us again?"

The surrounding officials and generals were taken aback for a moment, and then many people showed joy on their faces.

Originally, they had the opportunity to retain several small-scale vassal territories under the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

"It is also possible that someone will lead the team to surrender directly in front of the formation. Are those who surrender before the formation treated according to relative conditions?"

The officials and generals at the scene understood what Martin Sun meant, but most of them could hardly accept this reality.

"Remember three years ago? We didn't directly accept the conditions, but delusional bargaining environment.

Martin Sun confirmed his guess, and immediately had a tendency to go berserk.

It was the Ming negotiators who had this kind of logic back then who pushed themselves into the abyss of despair.

"Don't ask any more questions, just make a decision for me right now.

"General, please wait for a while, I'll have someone arrange a place for you..."

"And that led to these three years of senseless war!
"Didn't Daming consider whether your so-called negotiators are competent?"

Martin Sun subconsciously said:

"I can only... go to Dongyi Kingdom with assets of [-] silver bills..."

If it hadn't been three years ago, he would have experienced it once, and Martin Sun would not have felt the problem.

There is nothing to say about this matter. Under the continuous siege of the Ming army, too many companions surrendered.

Another general said:

The guard immediately ran over to tell Sun Martin.

"We... all are going to be laborers."

Martin Sun quickly collected his energy and looked at Zhu Jianxuan who was opposite him:
"I can pledge my allegiance to the Emperor of Ming, and I can pledge my allegiance to the king of any vassal state of Ming.

Martin Sun almost ran back to his officials and generals, and said in a very fast and strong tone:

A military officer in his 40s, Zhu Jianxuan, the governor of the bandit suppression headquarters in southern Xintianfu, escorted by four Ming soldiers and led by Sun Martin's guards, walked into Sun Martin's meeting hall.

But considering the identity of the other party, he had to work hard to keep his momentum.

Martin Sun fully understood that what the other party said was an announcement and an announcement.

After the silence, a man asked tremblingly:
"After the surrender, how long do we need to work? If it is a lifetime, then I will choose to continue fighting."

"10 minutes is too short, there is no way to fully discuss, I need at least a day..."

Then fell into a huge trap.

Martin Sun also immediately realized that his current image was really sloppy.

The five Ming people took a step through the door, then stopped in their tracks, and took two steps back.

"The current situation is the same, I have informed you of His Royal Highness Prince Dashi's intentions.

Martin Sun and the officers and generals around him saw the content above.

Martin Sun was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran back to Representative Daming, asked this question, and added another detail:
"At the moment I can no longer fully control all the troops and officials, and some people may ignore orders to break out later.

"So, how do you convey my response? Did I reject the conditions of His Royal Highness Prince Dashi?"

My bottom line at the time was actually not far from the conditions given by Daming...

Now this hall is almost like a gas chamber to Daming.

"Then pass your response back, that's all.

"If we refuse, then the war will surely continue.

Zhu Jianxuan was a little unhappy:

What they conveyed was two words - rejection.

Martin Sun also took it for granted that Daming was willing to negotiate peace.

"Da Ming will definitely launch an attack afterwards until we are completely wiped out.

"I'll just wait here and give you 10 minutes."

"It's just the most ordinary citizen, without any title or good treatment.

"Da Ming didn't give us the qualification to negotiate, it was just an ultimatum!

Martin Sun was a little puzzled and at a loss, what does this Daming officer mean?
Do you want to take your own words back and ask His Royal Highness Prince Dashi what he meant?

Therefore, most officials and generals accepted this condition.

The off-road vehicle he was riding in was not far away when he came, and he could drive back directly in the vehicle.

"Or when you think you can give another condition.

Martin Sun finally couldn't bear his mood now, and directly asked his guess:

"I don't know when the next time is.

As a result, Zhu Jianxuan only gave him 10 minutes, which is simply too difficult for a strong man.

Zhu Jianxuan looked at Martin Sun with a calm expression, hesitated to speak several times, and finally just cupped his hands:
"My message has been sent, and I already know what you mean, so I will take my leave."

"I only hope that my subordinates and people can live in our homeland as free people."

What followed was a three-year war.

Martin Sun subconsciously thought that it was normal for a decision of this level to be discussed for a few days.

"I can't observe it from farther away. I don't know if Daming has made other preparations in the rear."

In addition to accepting, any other expression of their own meaning is a rejection for them.

"I can't accept it! Otherwise, what have we done for so many years!"

Martin Sun felt that the way this Ming officer spoke made people very uncomfortable.

"I'll leave in 10 minutes, and if I don't get an accepted answer before I leave, it will be considered a rejection..."

Back then, Daming came to ask himself whether he would accept the title of Earl of the Shang Kingdom of Daming and the conditions for moving to the southeast coastal area.

That sounds, and when you think about it, that seems to be the case.

But now I don't care so much anymore, I can't let the other party wait for me to take a shower and change clothes.

An uneasiness and panic deep in my heart spread unconsciously.

"I hope by now, I'm tired and I'm sure everyone is tired too.

Not to mention independent warlords like O'Higgins, many of the subordinates brought up by Sun Martin himself surrendered and ran away.

But then... Da Ming's troops began to attack.

Daming's negotiators at that time also took it for granted that he knew, and they went back to convey it.

Martin Sun stared at the first picture, his eyes widened immediately, and he muttered in a mournful tone:
"O'Higgins' letter...he also surrendered...he abandoned our ideals..."

"Da Ming should be willing to command us again!"

Now it's finally all set.

"We just want to discuss with you, we want to discuss the details of the terms with you.

"Then we faced war.

"I need to consult with our subordinates, I need time to convince them.

Five years is not a long time, and being a laborer for five years may not be harder than the current war.

In these words of his, there is an implicit meaning, but he just doesn't say it.

As a result, St. Martin immediately mentioned the voice, and said a little hysterically:
"Don't ask me why, don't think about any other requests.

"When did you form the misunderstanding that we were negotiating with you?

Zhu Jianxuan stood at the door of the hall and said to the guard:

They have already deprived Bolivar and Sun Martin of the titles of the main Nanyinzhou rebel princes.

Now there is nothing left but one chance to survive.

Martin Sun stood there for a while, then sighed leisurely, and picked up the second piece of paper.

"I decided to accept Daming's conditions.

In the end, it turned into a particularly aggrieved and emphatic complaint:
"You... are people like you, why are you so stiff and rigid?

So any nonsense you say doesn't make any sense.

So he accepted Zhu Jianxuan's suggestion and took several officials and generals to the door.

His own kingdom of millions of square kilometers was quickly compressed to only [-] square kilometers today.

Zhu Jianxuan thought for a while and said:
"Five years for ordinary residents, ten years for soldiers.

Martin Sun chased forward almost instinctively:
"General, go slowly, general, wait a minute, what do you mean?
"Do you want to take my request back and ask His Royal Highness Prince Dashi?"

"We were never negotiators, we were just messagers.

"We just inform you of one thing, and at the same time confirm whether you will make an expression of acceptance.

"No, Daming is building the line of defense right now, and there is no sign of mobilizing troops to attack.

"If most of them accept it, those who don't accept it will break through by themselves.

Martin Sun vaguely guessed it, but found it very unbelievable.

Zhu Jianxuan replied as a matter of course:
"Isn't it? You didn't accept His Highness's condition, isn't that a rejection?"

"Why do you expect Daming to respond to your conditions?

Zhu Jianxuan replied as a matter of course:
"When did I negotiate? What is a negotiation?

The key is his surrender, what kind of conditions he got in exchange, can be his own reference.

After all, Sun Martin has been the king of a country for several years. In this despair, collapse, and aggrieved, he quickly sorted out his thoughts:

"It's the same now, if you don't accept it, you refuse it.

In a state of war, in a tropical area, a group of Thai and Western men don't know how many days they don't take a bath.

Just under the porch of the hall, the two sides stood more than two meters apart and greeted each other with hands folded.

Seeing that the other party's military rank is a major general of Ming Dynasty, this status is already very high, so there shouldn't be a little bit of room for negotiation.

"Didn't you come to negotiate? You have finished the negotiation now? So what is your... Daming's decision?"

When Ming soldiers wanted to continue fighting, they would subconsciously adopt Zhu Jianxuan's logic.

Zhu Jianxuan took two pieces of paper from the file bag, and asked the guards to pass them to Martin Sun.

After hearing this, Martin Sun immediately went back and told his subordinates:
"Five to ten years, there is a high probability that it will be five years, and there is a high probability that it will be sent to Panama to dig a canal.

I am also looking forward to the fact that the other party will come to discuss with me again, and I can actually lower the price.

"I don't have any other tasks..."

If Sun Martin, Boliva and others have not awakened this time, they may lose their lives in the follow-up.

The generals and officials around Martin Sun were silent.

But it's a bit abrupt. As a negotiating representative, shouldn't you bargain with yourself?
We should talk about a key node, and then go back and ask the higher-ups for instructions.

"My mission has been completed, now I just go back and report..."

After speaking, Zhu Jianxuan turned around and led the soldiers out.

"Then, now I will convey to His Highness the response that you did not accept His Highness's request."

All other information is irrelevant and will not be recorded directly.

Several officials and generals subconsciously wanted to question and ask back.

But Martin Sun himself is aware of the problem.

"That's controlled labor camp, it's equivalent to a criminal!"

As long as a relatively independent country can be preserved, even if there is only this little land left, Sun Martin can accept it.

I have guessed and analyzed for three years how the diplomat conveyed my news.

Martin Sun basically understood what was going on, his expression and tone were full of despair:

Zhu Jianxuan was a little helpless, and asked with some struggle:
"What do you want? Why should I bring your meaningless nonsense back to His Royal Highness Prince Dashi?

Individual diehards who wanted to fight to the death were also controlled by the companions around them.

Martin Sun returned to Zhu Jianxuan again in the last 2 minutes:
"We accept the conditions of His Royal Highness Prince Dashi, and we are willing to surrender."

After hearing this, Zhu Jianxuan sighed softly:

"It's really a pity that you accepted it..."
