Chapter 234: Surrender and admit defeat
Wen Liufang nodded and said, "Of course you can!" As long as the person surnamed Yu knows the current affairs, this matter may not be impossible! Even if someone can see the problem, as long as the taxes that should be collected are collected, and there is a lot of apportionment, then who cares who controls it over there? ”
After Cai Shanji listened to Wen Liufang's words, as an official who came out of the magistrate step by step, he immediately understood what Wen Liufang was thinking.
So after standing up and pacing back and forth a few steps, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now it seems that this is the only way!" It's just that I don't know if anyone with the surname Yu can agree! ”
Wen Liufang immediately said: "The surname Yu wants profit, since the big profit he wants has been given to him, what can this small profit be to him every year?"
What's more, from the current point of view, this surnamed Yu still has a hand, if he wants to really take down Tong'an County and attack Quanzhou City, with their current strength, don't Dong Weng think they can't do it? At least this Tong'an county town should have been beaten down by them a long time ago! How can you wait until now? ”
Cai Shanji looked at Wen Liufang and hesitated for a moment before asking, "According to what you say, do you think ...... So ...... Yu Xiaotian is? ”
"Not bad! The students thought that this matter was actually negotiable! If Dong Weng agrees, the student is willing to leave the city immediately and go to the middle left again! Wen Liufang said confidently to Cai Shanji.
The last time Cai Shanji sent Wen Liufang to the center left, Wen Liufang was not so enthusiastic, at that time he was so scared that his legs were twisted, and he just ran home to go out of the city, and then he forced the fear in his heart for the future, so he had to go to the center and left, and asked to see Yu Xiaotian.
But after having the first experience, he has already seen that this Yu Xiaotian is not a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones, as long as he has something to say and go to see him, at least his life is still guaranteed!
So in order to win a good future for his future, this time he will take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Zhongzuo Institute again.
Cai Shanji looked at Wen Liufang, sighed, and said to Wen Liufang: "Then please sir!" Please rest assured, as long as this matter can be done well, then I Cai will definitely encounter an opportunity to recommend Mr. in the future! ”
Wen Liufang was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately bowed to the ground......
Yu Xiaotian leisurely smoked the pipe he had made in his spare time, while listening to Wen Liufang sitting below.
The material used for this pipe is the standard Hainan Huanghuali, which is extremely rare in later generations because of the exhaustion of natural resources.
But in this era, this thing is not very difficult to find, so Yu Xiaotian found a piece of material, repaired it little by little with a knife in his spare time, and then polished it with various abrasives, which is quite beautiful.
He used to smoke paper cigarettes, but after a long time, he felt that smoking paper cigarettes seemed to be not enough, so he thought of smoking pipes.
Just a few are enough to shock the world, such as Churchill, Stalin, Engels, Einstein, Newton, China and Marshal He Long, all like to smoke pipes.
So he simply changed to pipe, and he should smoke a pipe now, which will definitely cause many people below to follow suit, and now he is in the eyes of the people in the Sea Wolf Department, he is simply a god-like being, and countless people are secretly imitating his style, intentionally or unintentionally.
Now that he has switched to smoking pipes, it is inevitable that it will immediately cause a new trend, and it can be used as a fashion vane, which is really good!
For a long time, Yu Xiaotian devoted his whole body and mind to the cause of establishing his sea wolf kingdom, and rarely had spare time to pay attention to his own preferences and needs.
Now these subordinate generals he brought out, although he dare not say that each of them can be in charge of himself, but some of them have matured, at least they can do things well according to his instructions, so that he only needs to be in the middle of the scheduling, and the specific affairs will no longer be as before, so that he will have to do everything himself.
Yu Xiaotian was swallowing the clouds and spitting out the smoke with his pipe in his mouth, looking complacent, while Wen Liufang was talking eloquently below, stating his thoughts to Yu Xiaotian.
After listening to Wen Liufang's words, Yu Xiaotian happened to smoke a bucket of cigarettes, although Huanghuali is beautiful, but it is not necessarily a good pipe material, after lighting the tobacco, Huanghuali's unique fragrance, although it smells good, but it more or less interferes with the original taste of tobacco.
So he decided that he had the opportunity to have someone help him find a piece of heather nodules and make a pipe out of heather, which should be better smoked!
He raised his hand and knocked the pipe on the corner of the table, scooped out the residual smoke in the pipe with a small silver spoon, carefully wiped the pipe with a cotton cloth, took it in his hand and said with a smile:
"What do I say? Is this just a toast and not eating and drinking? If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? If we had said this earlier, wouldn't it have gotten so much trouble!
The method you proposed, Yu Mou thinks it is acceptable, isn't it the Tian Fu in this area! Whatever you should receive, continue to receive! But I just have one request, it is not okay to treat the people in this area as they used to be exceeding! In that case, you'll be doing me a great favor! Mr. Wen should be able to understand what I mean.
As for the Zhongzuo Institute, the Kinmen Institute and even the Gaopu Office, you should send people over and send people over, and the Guards, someone must always take care of them! The inspection department can be sent back, and I can arrange a place for them, and return the former inspection department office to them.
But they are in this area, and they have to listen to me, and if anything unpleasant happens, they can't blame me! ”
After Yu Xiaotian's words were finished, Wen Liufang's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, in fact, the solution he proposed was very simple, that is, one thing in the open and one thing in secret.
The Fujian officials represented by Cai Shanji can secretly admit that the sea wolf actually controls the area around Waitou Bay, but this qiē can only be carried out secretly, and the sea wolf still has to return this area to the government and "withdraw" from Waitou Bay.
Of course, the government will continue to maintain nominal control in this area, and the taxes and apportionments that should be collected still have to be collected, but in addition, this area is secretly controlled by the sea wolf.
The government acquiesced to the existence of the sea wolf, did not interfere too much, continued to send the officials that should be sent, and continued to send them, but the officials sent were all empty, and they had to obey the deployment of the sea wolf, and they could no longer be as arrogant as before, and they would take care of everything.
Moreover, the official no longer sends officers and soldiers to the area around Weitouwan, and the sea wolf itself dispatches a group of sea wolf troops, puts on the clothes of the official army, and nominally is regarded as the official army stationed in this area, but those official and military generals sent are only nominal generals, and do not interfere with the command of these sea wolf troops, and the command is still the responsibility of the sea wolf itself.
In the eyes of outsiders, Weitou Bay is at least the territory of the government, and this qiē is just dressed in an official coat, and inside and inside, they are all replaced by sea wolf personnel.
As for the Moon Harbor, Cai Shanji also promised not to rebuild it, and in the future, the sea wolf will use Weitou Bay as a commercial port, and how to get it is a matter of the sea wolf, and the sea wolf only needs to express to the government every year to make up for the annual tax collected by the Moon Port, and these merchant ships want to come here to do business in the future, so they can come here to do business.
In fact, Cai Shanji and Wen Liufang have long seen that the sea wolf has raised troops to occupy Weitou Bay this time, and destroyed Yuegang, and also stated that what is the purpose of controlling the area of Weitou Bay for a long time, this Weitou Bay is actually a golden mountain, and a large number of maritime merchants have to trade in this area every year, not to mention that the sea wolf operates by itself, even if it is only sitting in this area to collect taxes, this year, it is enough for the sea wolf to make a lot of money.
Although this income involves the interests of many people, at present, the government has no way to take the sea wolf, as long as this state of war is not ended, no one's interests can be guaranteed.
However, after the end of this hostile state, although some people's vested interests will be lost, it is better than the sea wolves constantly attacking the coastal areas of Fujian every day! As for those who had vested interests, their losses will also be losses, which is not something Cai Shanji has to consider at the moment.
As long as there are sea wolves in this area to suppress strongly, even those with vested interests, they do not dare to jump out and oppose the sea wolves, this time the sea wolves' actions in this area have completely deterred these local forces, if they still want to survive in this area in the future, it depends on whether they have vision and whether they will be people.
Hearing Yu Xiaotian say this, Wen Liufang was also relieved, it was obvious that Yu Xiaotian also agreed to the tactful solution he proposed, so other things would naturally fall into place.
So Wen Liufang began to discuss the specific negotiation rules with Yu Xiaotian, and finalized all the trivial matters, and it can be said that the conditions put forward by Yu Xiaotian were met.
However, for the final peace treaty, Wen Liufang resolutely refused to agree to sign the actual documents, and Yu Xiaotian did not force this.
Because of this era, the Ming Dynasty has never signed any treaty with any force on paper to lose power and humiliate the country, not to mention that Cai Shanji did not dare to sign it, even if it was replaced by Emperor Chongzhen, it was still impossible to sign this kind of peace treaty, once someone dared to sign such an agreement and leave something on paper, it is estimated that it will be sprayed to death by those so-called clear streams.
On the surface, they all seem to stand on the righteousness and speak without backache, but it makes the Ming Dynasty lose a lot of opportunities to recuperate, and then have no ability to regain themselves.
And these bullshit so-called clear streams, seeing that the Ming Dynasty is finished, many people immediately don't care about any righteousness, and immediately change their faces and turn around and take refuge in the Tartars, recognize the new master, and no longer mention what they said before.
Therefore, although Wen Liufang resolutely refused to sign any agreement on paper this time, he was only willing to agree to the tacit agreement between the two parties to agree to the conditions negotiated this time, and it was okay to handle it secretly! Yu Xiaotian did not continue to dwell on this matter, and after more than two days of non-stop negotiations, both sides finally achieved their goal.
