Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 673 Get on the Ship
According to Zuo Fu's reputation, the visitor was dressed in a very rich, typical Manchu style. He looked about forty years old, with an elegant temperament and a fair face.

Zuo Fu thought about it in his heart, thinking, this should be the famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in history, right?Counting her age, she should be around 47 this year, but because she is in a high position and well maintained, she looks like she is in her early forties.

"This is Lord Zhen Guo, right?"

Xiao Zhuang smiled, "I've heard about you for a long time, and I told you a joke when we first met. I hope you will be kind."

Xiao Zhuang's voice was soft, but with a touch of majesty, it was very classy.Zuo Fu saluted according to diplomatic etiquette, and said, "You are the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty? I am polite."

Zuo Fu did not perform the ceremony of a subordinate, but only performed the ceremony of a peer. She is a minister of the Ming Dynasty and not a minister of the Qing Dynasty, so there is no need to perform the ceremony.

Moreover, there is something particular about how to salute, after all, Ming did not recognize Qing as orthodox.

Xiao Zhuang didn't care about these red tapes, he only invited Zuo Fu in, and let the reckless man just now make up for Zuo Fu.

Zuo Fu didn't care about the red tape, he waved his hand, saying forget it.Following Xiao Zhuang into the cabin, she saw a young man sitting upright in it, she took a closer look and said, "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty asked me to come here by name, do you have any advice?"

The words were arrogant, and even the salute was just handcuffing casually, which made all the people in the cabin glaring, and Fulin also had an angry expression on his face.As the Son of Heaven, he had never been offended like this. In his opinion, even if Zuo Fu was not a minister of the Qing Dynasty, he should still kneel down.

But with Xiao Zhuang being a fine person, obviously he would not let his son mess around, he only reminded Fulin: "Emperor, this is Zuo Yunshu, she has excellent medical skills, with her here, the imperial concubine will definitely get better of."

One sentence awakened the dreamer, and Fulin realized that he wanted something from others.So, he got up and bowed to Zuo Fu, and said in a very earnest tone: "It's not for any other reason to invite you here, but I just heard that you have excellent medical skills, and my imperial concubine is seriously ill. I hope that you will be kind to the doctor." Heart, save her."

Zuo Fu did not evade the gift, but accepted it calmly, this move made Fulin grit his teeth secretly.But thinking of Yalan who was seriously ill, he still restrained his emotions.For Yalan, he would do anything, even kneel down and beg Zuofu.

"Aixinjue Luo Fulin, did you not read the reply letter from my Daming?"

"Bold!"

The eunuch on the side yelled loudly, "How dare you call the Lord Long Live by his name, are you dying?!"

Zuo Fu glanced at the eunuch, and said with a sneer: "This is your Long Live Lord, not my Zuo Fu's Long Live Lord. I am willing to come here today because I don't want to start another war, but if you think that I, Zuo Fu, I am afraid of you, then you are very wrong! All these years, for the sake of the people of the two countries, I, Daming, have endured again and again, otherwise you think you can resist my Daming for a few days? Where did the croaking thing come from? Daqinglian Can an eunuch not manage well? Chun Ya, give me a slap in the face so he can understand the rules!"

"Beat the dog to see the owner..."

Xiao Zhuang said slowly: "Can Lord Zhen give the old lady some face and let him slap himself?"

"My great Ming ruled the world with filial piety, and the queen mother is older than me, so I will give you a face and let him slap himself."

The eunuch looked aggrieved, and knelt down, and the sound of "pa pa pa pa pa" sounded in the cabin, every time it was so sudden and clear, it fell on Fu Lin's heart, as if he was hitting him.This is the sorrow of being a weak country. Whether he is willing or not, he has to admit that since Obai was captured, the Qing Dynasty has been unable to fight anymore...

Zuo Fu sat down and didn't drink the tea served by Qingren. He only took honey water from Sun Xuntang's hand, drank a few sips, and said: "Okay, don't hit me anymore, remember this lesson, and don't speak casually in the future." Speak."

The eunuch had a red and swollen face, his eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to let the tears fall, and kowtowed with humiliation in his heart: "Many, thank you, Duke Zhen..."

Xiaozhuang waved his hand and let the eunuch go down, saying: "Mr. Zhen, your country proposed to have four towns in Jiangbei, Xuzhou and Yangzhou. This condition has obviously been exceeded. These are the inheritance left by our ancestors. No matter how confused my son is It can't destroy the foundation of the ancestors, if Daming is sincere..."

"what!"

Zuo Fu laughed loudly, interrupted Xiao Zhuang and said: "Empress Dowager, it is polite for me to call you Empress Dowager, you must know that the Qing Dynasty in your mouth is only a subject of my Ming Dynasty, if you speak according to your words, don't say Yangzhou and Xuzhou are already here, even the land of Yanjing was also brought down by the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, so should I immediately send troops to take back these lost lands?"

Xiao Zhuang was choked by Zuo Fu, and suddenly he was at a loss for words.On the other hand, Fulin's eyes showed shock.This Zuofuguo has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, isn't this quick reaction?He looked at Zuo Fu carefully again, and saw that she had a fair face and big eyes, and she was not as ugly as others described.On the contrary, not only is she not ugly, but she is also very beautiful, but her stature is really scary. How can a woman grow so tall?

"I am here in person, regardless of the dissuasion of the ministers, can't I still show the sincerity of my Qing Dynasty?"

Fulin said: "Duke Zhen, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I heard that the people of Ming Dynasty called you a Bodhisattva who descended to earth. Can you please pity me? My wife is suffering from illness. It's miserable, if you don't save her, she will really have no hope."

"It's not that I refuse to save her."

Zuo Fudao: "Personally, I am very willing to save Concubine Dong E, but have you forgotten? Besides being Zuo Yunshu, I am also Minister of the Household Department of Ming Dynasty, Duke of Zhen Guo, Lord of Jiangning County, Prince and Grand Master. Do you think I can harm the righteousness of the country because of my personal relationship?
Otherwise, our son of heaven also said that although Fulin is a false emperor, he was deeply moved to do this for his wife. If Yangzhou is returned to us, we will rescue it. "

"This……"

Fulin calculated quickly, and he was a little moved.Xiao Zhuang saw that it was not good, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhen, this condition is no less than ceding the land and paying compensation. If we agree to you, let alone explain to the ancestors, how can we explain to the talented subjects? What did the Lord Zhen say? Is it because you want to mess with my Qing Dynasty, that killing is not enough and you have to punish your heart?"

"The empress dowager was joking."

Zuo Fu said: "How can I, a Ming person, punish people's hearts?"

"You are one of the smartest people today, you don't understand what the old woman said? Or..."

Xiao Zhuang narrowed his eyes, "Is this what you plan to do?"

"Now it's you who ask me, Da Ming, not me, Da Ming, who asks you. How can there be no reason in this world? If you don't pay, you want to get something..."

Zuo Fu laughed, "Does the Empress Dowager think this is possible?"

"We can give you money!"

Only then did Fulin feel how powerful Zuo Fu was.Obviously it doesn't matter how old I am, but if my mother is not by my side, I am afraid that I will be led by the nose throughout the whole process. It really is a man with a reputation under his reputation, so amazing!

"money?"

Zuo Fu chuckled lightly, and before she could speak, Sun Xuntang who was beside him answered, "The most important thing we Daming need is money. If money can buy your life, what do you need my lord to do?"

"Who are you?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Fulin couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that Daming's rules are not very good."

"Hehe, I am the commander of the Nanjing Guard of the Ming Dynasty, General Fenwei, and I am the commander of the guards of the Duke of Zhen... What? Is this general unable to speak? Is he no better than an eunuch?"

Everyone was shocked!
Zuo Fu's guards are all commanders?Or the commander of Nanjing Wei?As for General Fenwei, it is an honorary title in Ming Dynasty, so don't worry about it, but this commander has real power.Just such a person, but he can only follow Zuo Fu as a bodyguard?
Zuo Fu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.This guy Sun Xunzhen is too good at making up, right?However, the Qing people have nowhere to check, so there is no need to worry about cheating.

Xiaozhuang glared at his son.It’s all said and done, and I still care about those details, and I’m going to sabotage a good thing.

"Then what does the emperor of your country mean?"

Xiaozhuang said: "We won't cut the land. If your country insists on this point, there is no need to talk about it."

"Then let's not talk about it."

Zuo Fu said: "We have shown our utmost sincerity, if your country still feels that it is too much, then Zuo can do nothing to help."

"and many more!"

Fulin is in a hurry!

If Zuofu was allowed to leave like this, wouldn't Yalan be dead? !
"Except for land cession, everything else is easy to talk about! Lord Zhen Guo sit down and talk!"

"What else does the Emperor of Qing want to say?"

Zuo Fu said: "Even the Forbidden City you live in is owned by our Ming Dynasty. It is a great honor to be able to negotiate with you like this! Do you think that I, Ming Dynasty, can't take you down? It's just the common people who suffer together at the end of the war." Be patient till now! You have sneaked up on me Daming several times, and those accounts have not been settled yet!"

Zuo Fu's tone was serious, and at this moment, everyone present in Qing Dynasty felt a chill.Although the belly of the woman in front of her is protruding, it cannot be underestimated!The murderous aura emanating from the body can only be possessed by those who have been trained by a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. This is the real Zuofu!I can smile at you, but I will never be soft when killing people.

"Why should Lord Zhen get angry?"

Xiaozhuang smiled and said: "You are pregnant with Liujia, getting angry is not good for the fetus, it is better to sit down first, let's discuss it slowly."

"I don't think there is anything to discuss about this matter! It's fine if you don't give it to Yangzhou, then you have to open the border and allow merchants from the two places to come and go, and allow merchants from the Ming Dynasty to invest and do business in your place, and you are not allowed to charge customs duties. Promise to collect according to our Daming business tax, and allow the people of the North to live in our Daming, and guarantee the safety of our Daming people in your territory, and the safety of their property!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Good guy!This is even more ruthless than Yangzhou!Xiaozhuang was also stunned there, she never expected that Daming didn't want feelings at all, what they wanted was trade!

But can this be promised?Once he agrees, why shouldn't Da Qing penetrate them like a sieve?
And those guys with bad intentions still have to run to Daming like crazy?
As if he had guessed what Xiaozhuang was thinking, Zuo Fu leisurely said: "What do you do with those who can't keep them? Seeing that you are bored and don't talk about it, you still have to worry about it. Those who want to come to live in my Daming force to stay with you and tell you It’s also a burden, isn’t it? Besides, I have a lot of grain in Ming Dynasty, and I can sell it to you once we open up business, so your people will have food to eat, won’t the country be stable?”

Zuo Fu put down his glass, with a "sincere" expression on his face, "I don't want to see people suffer. We Daming don't want to make troubles, we just want to live a peaceful life. We are all descendants of China. Let go of your prejudices and get along peacefully, isn't it good? Queen Mother You and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty don’t need to answer me in a hurry, you can go to Daming with me to have a look before making a decision.”

Xiao Zhuang nodded, "This matter is important, we need to discuss it later, please wait for a day or two, and we will send someone ashore to inform you of the result."

After a pause, he continued: "Duke Zhen is pregnant with Liujia, and he worked so hard to come here. It is really touching. The old woman has ordered someone to cook a banquet. Although our Manchurian cuisine is not as exquisite as your Han cuisine, it still has a unique flavor. Like Chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, bird’s nest shredded chicken soup, sea cucumber stewed pork tendon, fish maw stewed ham, and hibiscus eggs are all suitable for pregnant women. Now that it’s time for dinner, why don’t Lord Zhen stay for a light meal before leaving?”

A bunch of palace dishes, is this also called light meal?Zuo Fu smiled and said: "Then I would like to thank the Empress Dowager Qing for her hospitality."

She is not afraid of being poisoned by others, otherwise who will save Dong E's family?Moreover, on such an occasion, every dish must be tasted first by the tasters from both sides. If something happens, it will be a war.

It's too late for Daqing to hide from Daming, so how could he easily provoke a war?

Zuo Fu stayed, and so did Sun Xunting and others. Although they didn't eat, it was impossible for Zuo Fu to stay here alone.

The food is quite delicious, probably because they have absorbed the imperial chefs of the Han people. These Northeast dishes full of openness and harmony are also much more refined.

At this moment, Fulin finally learned Zuofu's knowledge.Is this still human?Knowing astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, people's livelihood and economics, the Western Yi Bible, and mastering superb medical skills, how much has she learned?

She's only 31 this year. Could it be that she's been studying since she was born?The breadth of knowledge is far beyond her imagination.

I have to admit that Zuofer is quite a charismatic person. When she puts her fangs away and talks and laughs like this, it is easy to be convinced by her knowledge and conversation.

It's no wonder that a woman can be a high-ranking official. With this ability, which emperor wouldn't want it?Fulin was a little jealous of Zhu Cihong.How could he be so lucky?It would have been nice if Zuofu had been in the North, so that the whole of Da Ming would be swallowed up by them, and Zuofu could also be used by them.

After eating, Zuo Fu got off the boat, and Fulin immediately summoned the ministers to convey Zuo Fu's meaning, and a group of ministers were silent after hearing this.There are pros and cons to commerce. The Qing Dynasty was indeed short of food and grass. If commerce could be carried out, the food crisis could be greatly alleviated, and it could play a decisive role in domestic stability.

only……

If the trade is established, the people of the Ming Dynasty can infiltrate the Qing Dynasty. At that time, they will make some small moves and keep inciting the people. When everyone rises up, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty be over?
