Chapter 60 Traitorous Negotiations

Sukh Saha proposed to send an additional banner man to preside over the negotiations, which was very much in line with Bumubutai's wishes, because although Huang Xigon was in an important position, he was only a Han Chinese. How could such an important negotiation not be presided over by a flag man? So Bumu Butai agreed, and then asked, "Who is Lord Sukh Saha going to send?" ”

"Back to Lafayette, the slave thinks that Sunahai is the most suitable candidate, this person is a Manchurian Banner person, and he is a scholar among my Manchurian Banner people, and it is most suitable to send him to negotiate." Sukh Saha Road.

Bumu Butai nodded slightly, agreeing to Sukh Saha's proposal.

As for the bottom line of the negotiations, the first is that in order to get the support of the Dutch, the barren Dongfan Island can be ceded to the Dutch; As for the rest, depending on the "sincerity" of the Dutch, it was decided how much silver to pay the Dutch, so that the Dutch would pay for the troops.

Two days later, a negotiating delegation consisting of Sunahai and Huang Xigon, more than a dozen officials, and several hundred Qing soldiers rushed to Tianjin Wei to negotiate with the Dutch. Of course, the content of the negotiations was that the mighty Qing Dynasty carried forward the fine tradition of selling land, protecting the Qing Dynasty rather than China, and giving friendly countries to domestic slaves, just to borrow the hands of foreigners to deal with the stubborn Ming army.

And the general Shi Lang, who was familiar with water warfare and was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, even sold his father, brother, wife and son, and even his pants to the Qing Dynasty, but because he was reluctant to give up the sesame land on Dongfan Island, he was ruthlessly deprived of the qualification to negotiate by the master of the Qing Dynasty.

In a certain garbage TV series, it is said that Zheng Jing colluded with the Dutch, and the Qing Dynasty was patriotic, which is simply nonsense!

Dongfan Island, what is the land with large sesame seeds! How generous I am! The Rakshasa people from the friendly countries in the north came, and in order to welcome them, they gave them hundreds of thousands of square kilometers as soon as they came up!

If there is no Wang Xinyu, my Daqing will give more land to the Rakshasa friends in the future.

If there was no Wang Xinyu, in the future, we would have sent a huge amount of reparations to Japan, made a major contribution to Japan's economic and military development, and helped Japan enter the ranks of the great powers.

If it were not for Wang Xinyu, our Qing Dynasty would have given a large amount of silver to various friendly countries in the future, making a significant contribution to the development of world civilization.

It's a pity that because Wang Xinyu came to this world, the Qing Dynasty couldn't give more land to the Rakshasa allies, which affected the relationship with the friends; The Qing Dynasty could not send money to Japan, and Japan could no longer enter the ranks of the great powers; The Qing Dynasty was no longer able to send money to its friends, which seriously delayed the development of world civilization.

The distance from Beijing to Tianjin is more than 300 miles, and the distance to Tanggu is only about 400 miles, and the mission rode horses and cars, and some people who were not used to riding in horse-drawn carriages simply took a sedan chair, and it took half a month to arrive.

Originally, the negotiation venue was chosen in Tianjin, but the Qing Dynasty considered that it was the kingdom of Tianchao, and you Dutch people were not the same as the small countries of North Korea and Annam, they were small countries of Fanbang, and they were also red-haired ghosts, so how could they let their people set foot on the land of my Qing Dynasty casually? Therefore, the negotiation venue was chosen at Dagukou.

As a result, because of the extra 100 miles of travel, a group of civil officials and old men of the negotiation team suffered for several days on the road in vain.

On the sea off the mouth of Dagu, more than a dozen huge Dutch warships were moored. When the Dutch delegation entered the Bohai Bay, the Qing army of the Shandong Navy came up to inspect and inquire, and the reply was: "We have come to negotiate at the invitation of your imperial court and discuss together how to deal with the pirates!" ”

Initially, the Qing court intended to negotiate with the Dutch in the south, but given the long distance, those who could really sign and speak on behalf of the Qing court were reluctant to travel that far.

"It's all pirates! They occupied Gangnam! Otherwise, take the canal to the Yangtze River, and then take a sea boat from the Yangtze River to Fujian, which will save a lot of bumps on the road. "The bannermen who are not willing to travel long distances to the south put the blame on the pirates.

Later, the Qing court asked the Dutch to go north into the Yangtze River to negotiate, but the mouth of the Yangtze River was occupied by the Ming army, and the Dutch, who were thieves, did not dare to enter from the mouth of the Yangtze River, after all, at this time there was still trade between the Dutch and the Nanyang Company, the Qiongzhou Army and the Zheng Army, and the Dutch did not dare to offend them to death for the time being.

The mouth of the Yangtze River could not be entered, and later the Qing court proposed to let the Dutch ship sail to Shandong.

But those banner men didn't agree again: "Shandong is too far away!" Running that far for the sake of negotiations? The Han people are willing to run away and work hard, but for such a big thing, only the Han people go, and there are no flag people, so how can they rest assured? ”

In the end, under the pressure of the bannermen, Bumu Butai had to grit his teeth and agree to let the Dutch ship enter the Dagu mouth.

However, the old men of the banner people forgot one thing: Dagukou froze in winter, and the ice surface stretched to the sea more than 20 miles away. This is a misery for the Dutch.

The large ships of the Dutch fleet could not reach the shore, so they could only anchor in the unfrozen sea, send small boats to the edge of the ice, cut a short channel, row the small boats into it, reach the thick ice, and then walk through the ice to reach the mouth of Dagu.

At that time, there were not five forts at Dagukou like Dagukou at the end of the Qing Dynasty, only on the north and south banks of the Haihe River there was a fortress built during the Jiajing period, and small cannons such as tiger squat cannon and Franc machine were placed on the battlements of the fortress.

The negotiation between the two sides was set up in a fortress chamber built during the Jiajing period, and the Dutch had to work hard to cross the ice and get here, so when the two sides met, the Dutch could not hide the dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Let's sit down and talk!" Nan Huairen was naturally the interpreter of the negotiation delegation, and he was the only one who knew Dutch.

Speaking of Nan Huairen, this guy is really not a good thing, he has white people in his bones. In real history, during the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, Nan Huairen colluded with Tsarist Russia, betrayed China's interests and negotiation secrets, instigated Tsarist Russia to negotiate in Latin, which no one in China could understand, and took the opportunity to send henchmen to act as interpreters, fooling Kangxi, causing China to give up all of Siberia to Russia.

This time, Nan Huairen served as an interpreter, and in the negotiations between the Qing court and the Dutch, he also planned to sell the interests of the Qing court as much as possible and gain more benefits for the Dutch.

Before the two sides began to negotiate, Nan Huairen first fooled the Manchurian flag man Sunahai: "The red-haired people don't understand Chinese, and you don't know Dutch, for the sake of fairness, when the time comes to sign the treaty, take Latin that neither side can understand, and our missionaries will keep a copy of the treaty and act as an intermediary, so it will be fair to you." ”

Sunahai was fooled by Nan Huairen for a while, and promised to write the content of the treaty in Latin. Naturally, the people who transcribed the treaty were Nan Huairen and a group of missionaries.

After the negotiations began, the Dutch first proposed that it would be perfectly fine for them to send troops against the puppet Ming, first of all, even if they hoped that the Manchus would cede Dongfan Island to the Dutch.

After Nan Huairen translated the words of the Dutch, the representatives of the Qing court exchanged words. Except for a minor Han official who refused to accept this article, the other Manchu and Han officials agreed one after another. What is there to give up a barren land to Dongfan Island? Anyway, it's not the territory of my Qing Dynasty, but it's an isolated island hanging overseas, so let it go.

There was no objection to the first article, so Nan Huairen asked his henchmen to transcribe it.

Then the Dutch put forward a second condition: "We demand that after defeating the puppet Ming regime, you open the sea ban!" Open the Yangtze River estuary, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Chaoshan, Guangzhou and other six treaty ports, establish our trading houses in the ports, and build supply facilities for us, so that our merchant ships can buy goods from you and get fresh water and food from your ports at the same time. ”

Nan Huairen knew that the translation of this article would definitely cause strong dissatisfaction among the Qing court officials, but he still did not hide it and translated it according to the words of the Dutch. Because he knew that this article was to be bargained, and the Qing court could not ban the sea forever, and might eventually let go of one or two ports.

Sure enough, as Nan Huairen expected, after the Dutchman's request was translated, all the Qing court officials blew up the nest.

"No way!" Sunahai shouted anxiously, "The sea ban is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty!" We absolutely cannot agree with this! You'd better change it! ”

"Yes!" Sakhalian also shouted, "The sea ban cannot be opened!" Except for this one, everything else is easy to say! ”

After listening to Nan Huairen's translation, the head of the Dutch delegation shrugged his shoulders in disappointment and spread his hands: "Since this is the case, then we have nothing to continue talking about!" I really don't understand, since they have defeated the pirates, why still refuse to let go of the sea ban? Isn't your sea ban here to deal with pirates? ”

Maybe he thinks that the Dutchman's words make sense, his family is in the south, and Huang Xigon, the chief official of the Qing court delegation who has been in the sea trade business, was a little moved, and he said to Sunahai: "Lord Su, if the sea is destroyed, there is no need for the imperial court to continue to enforce the sea ban, and the fishermen should be allowed to go to the sea to fish and let the merchant ships enter." ”

"The stakes are high! It has to be decided by Lafayette and the emperor! Also, does the red-haired ghost have the strength to defeat the pirates? The old man was very skeptical of this! Suna replied coldly.

Nan Huairen translated Sunahai's words to the Dutch.

After listening to Nan Huairen's translation, the head of the Dutch delegation laughed and said: "Hahaha! Do you doubt that we are not capable of defeating the pirates? If you don't believe us, send us back! You guys dropped us off on the ship and took a tour of our ship. ”

"Your ship can't get in, so how can we send you back?" Suna was not willing to walk more than 20 miles of ice at all, so he made excuses to excuse himself.

"Horseback riding! Prepare a bunch of fast horses for us, and we'll be there through the ice!" Take a look at our ships, too! Let's see if we have what it takes to defeat the pirates! The Dutchman sneered. (To be continued.) )
