Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 750 The Envoy of Ming Dynasty

From the looks of everyone, it was Daming's head of the country who spoke out, he was also the commander of the Daming Navy, He Zhaoxiong, who was nicknamed Iron Arm Canglong in the world.

"What's your opinion, old Aiqing?" Zhu Yousong smiled at him.

"Your Majesty is wise. Please forgive the old minister for speaking bluntly. Jin Wu has been with the old minister for many years, and the veteran knows him best. He is absolutely competent to command the troops to charge into battle, but I am afraid that he may not be the right person to negotiate with the red-haired boy in the castle. Official status, papers on martial arts, can the arrogant red-haired man talk to him? If the talk fails, Jin Wu is in danger of his life, and the matter is minor. If you miss your Majesty's important matters, please think twice."

He Zhaoxiong's words are very clear, so many talents are left unused, why use a young general?He Jinwu is just a warrior.

As expected of the emperor's father-in-law, and the old man was born in the rivers, lakes and forests, so he didn't care about trivial matters. Only he dared to speak out on this occasion, but his remarks represented the aspirations of many people present.

No qualifications, no prestige.Negotiations are probably out of the question. This is a game between literati and wise men, and it is absolutely different from fighting and killing.

After listening to He Zhaoxiong's words, Zhu Yousong looked up and laughed, without explaining too much, "Hahaha, I have already put money on their faces by asking General He to talk to them. If they don't know good from bad, they will regret it of."

Zhu Yousong spoke surprisingly, and then asked He Jinwu to come closer and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, He Jinwu was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

He Jinwu finished his preparations, got on his horse and took a few followers, left the camp of the Ming army, and came towards the gate of Chixian City.

As he walked, He Jinwu murmured in his heart, His Majesty told himself that when he met the Dutch red-haired thieves this time, he just asked them to go out of the city and surrender. They would definitely not agree, and they might propose a series of conditions. If they can agree to them, they will be satisfied , can not be the Lord's nonsense.

He Jinwu said in his heart, does this still need His Majesty's instructions?My negotiating principle must be like this, if I can agree to their conditions, it is nothing more than that as long as they are willing to leave the city and surrender, treat the prisoners well, and save their lives, all of these can be discussed.If they refuse to surrender or put forward some harsh conditions, they will definitely not agree to them if they cannot decide on their own, and they cannot compromise even if they lose their heads.

However, will this negotiation have any results?What the head of the country said is too correct. I don't have any experience in negotiation, so to put it bluntly, I am incompetent.There are so many civil and military officials present, any one of them is more qualified to negotiate than himself.

The danger doesn't matter, the big deal is losing his head.In all likelihood, this negotiation will end in vain. I really don't know what His Majesty thinks about it?

He Jinwu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.He made up his mind, according to His Majesty's instructions, even if he loses his head, he can't insult the prestige of Daming and lose His Majesty's face.

Mingying was only ten miles away from Chixian City, and soon arrived at the gate of the city.

Of course, the Dutch soldiers in the castle would have discovered a few of them a long time ago.

A red-haired thief suggested firing a cannon to blow He Jinwu and the others to pieces.The Dutch officer in charge of the city defense took a closer look, and found that only a few people from the Ming army came, and they seemed to be taking a walk, taking their time, not like they were here to fight and attack the city.

The order was issued to maintain a high level of vigilance, and no artillery was fired. As we got closer, someone shouted from the castle: "Stop, what are you doing, don't go any further, or we will open fire!"

He Jinwu cupped his fists and said loudly: "Don't get me wrong, this general is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and I came here to negotiate with you."

"Negotiation?" After someone translated it, these red-haired boys also looked confused.The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be beheaded.They all know the rules and dare not make decisions.Ask He Jinwu and others to wait in place immediately, and some Dutch generals will rush to report.

Wei Malang, Batens, Van Persie, these high-level Dutch officials stationed in Taiwan, have been in a good mood these days.Regardless of their continuous defeat at sea, nearly half of the soldiers were killed or killed, and thousands of warships were lost.However, after the Ming army landed on the island, they were helpless against their bastion, and after several attacks, the Ming army also suffered thousands of casualties.This also counted as they pulled back a round and won a big victory.

Now the menacing tens of thousands of Ming troops have completely lost their temper and can only trap the city. As long as they are willing to be trapped, they can let him be trapped.

So these Yelang arrogant, self-righteous Dutch red-haired boys don't care at all, hiding in the castle, these days are quite comfortable.

For several days in a row, the Ming army just besieged the city and did not attack again. Apart from checking the city defense every day, these red-haired officials were fine. They drank and ate meat to celebrate.

They also brought the beauties from the island that they had snatched, and let them sing and dance, and drink with them. When they were excited, they also played with women and gambled.Toss into a miasma.

At this time, someone came to report that the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty wanted to negotiate with them.

Wei Malang, Tense, and Van Persie were taken aback for a moment, and then they laughed wildly. Their beards trembled, their bodies trembled, and their fleshy faces under their red hair became even redder.Calling them red-haired thieves (children) seems worthy of the name.

Then Batens shook his head and said disdainfully: "The barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are exhausted. Thinking of negotiating, what is there to talk about?"

Navy Commander Van Persie said: "Whoever has the time to take care of them, what Your Excellency the Minister of Defense said is true, catch these people who came, cut off their heads, and hang their bodies outside the city."

"Inappropriate." Wei Malang, the prime minister in Taiwan, said, shaking his long, pointed red head. It's not too late to listen to what he has to say before making a decision."

After Wei Malang finished speaking, he asked the reporter, "How many people have come, who is the messenger, and what is his position?"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there are only eight people and eight riders. The leader is in his thirties. He claims to be He Jinwu, and he is the deputy commander of the Daming Navy."

Having just said this, Van Persie and Bartens became angry.Batens clearly remembered that when he was ordered to negotiate with Daming a few days ago, Zhu Yousong asked a boy in his 20s to deal with him, which was simply an insult.Van Persie was defeated again and again in front of the Ming army, he hated the people of Ming.Now that they heard that the Ming Dynasty sent another person with a small official position to negotiate, these two are not calm.

In the eyes of these red-haired men, a mere deputy commander of the Navy is undoubtedly too high-ranking and low-ranking. Since he wants to negotiate, even if Zhu Yousong cannot come in person, at least he must send a senior official from the cabinet or the Sixth Ministry, or a high-ranking officer in the army. Where are the ministers, ministers, governors, commanders and envoys?
Wei Malang deserves to be the Prime Minister in Taiwan, he is relatively calm, not as violent and reckless as Batens and Van Persie.Now he has received the news that His Majesty Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, has landed on the island in person, and he is afraid that the visitor is not kind.

Therefore, although the Prime Minister was also very angry, he did not get angry, but sent an order to let them in.
