Chapter 924: Bargaining

Fuzhou Sailor Yamen.

Sony and Zheng Zhilong sat opposite each other, Zheng Zhilong's face was ugly, it was really uncomfortable in the past two days, the deal that Tagawa Nanazaemon did in the Dongsha Sea area forced Zheng Zhilong to have no room for maneuver with the imperial court, and both sides had no way to retreat.

Zheng Zhilong is also secretly regretting it now, he knew that things were so stiff, it was better to make a game and go to sea to find a group of ghosts to replace the dead, how simple it is, isn't it this batch of arms, it's a big deal, but it's too late to say anything now, the matter is already very clear, the box that Duan Xuan replaced was not filled with intelligence, let alone gold and silver given to him, but a person, a foreigner, an absolutely important role, it is likely to be a human witness, but this attack ended in failure, The day when the truth will be revealed is not far from the court.

"General Zheng, I don't know what you've thought about, is this proposal reasonable?"

Sonny smiled.

Two days ago, Zheng Zhilong made an appointment with Sony and proposed to Sony that the two sides should cooperate and were willing to reach an agreement on jointly dealing with the imperial court.

It's just that at this time, at that time, it turned out that Sony begged Zheng Zhilong for an alliance between the two sides, and even offered Zheng Zhilong a dazzling price, but Zheng Zhilong hesitated, wanted to extort more benefits, and finally did not give Sony a clear answer, now it's okay, Zheng Zhilong has torn his face with the court, is pulling down his face, and asks for an alliance with Sony, so where will Sony easily comply?

Zheng Zhilong said indifferently: "Mr. Sony, you are joking, where did we get so many artillery muskets?" With so many artillery and muskets, where would the governor be afraid of persecution from the imperial court? ”

Sonny laughed and said: "Haha, General Zheng, don't hide it from me, now the entire Ming Empire has been rumored, Zhu Jie bought dozens of artillery pieces, thousands of muskets, and countless ammunition from that in one go, this is a well-known thing, why did the imperial court force you, is it not because your men and horses snatched away all the arms in the Dongsha Sea?" Otherwise, now that the Great Qing Kingdom and Zhu Jie are fighting with all their might, where would Zhu Jie do it to you at this time? Isn't this asking for trouble? ”

Zheng Zhilong's face changed greatly, this Sony is really not simple, it actually made things clear!

"General Zheng"

Sonny continued: "I have already said below, our regent of the Great Qing Kingdom has promised you, as long as you are willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and launch a rebellion from Fujian, the prince of Zhennan and the military and political power of Fujian and Guangdong provinces will be yours in the future, Yongzhen Tiannan, the vast South and East Oceans are still your territory, this condition is already extremely rich, even Zhang Xianzhong can not get us such a rich condition, yes, we promised Zhang Xianzhong to rule the river, but do you think about this reality? Zhang Xianzhong has always been capricious, even if we don't attack him, sooner or later he will attack the Qing Dynasty; But you are different, although the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong are important, but after all, they are not the rich land of Jiangnan, and the land of the two provinces in exchange for your powerful ally is definitely earned for the Qing Dynasty, and besides, without you guarding the sea frontier, where do we go to find a general who is as powerful as you in the South Seas to rule the sea frontier? Do you say? Our request is very simple, all the muskets belong to you, and all the artillery will be handed over to the Great Qing Dynasty, which is also a little sincerity for your Zheng family to express their allegiance to the Great Qing Kingdom......"

"Mr. Sony!"

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "It is the general trend for you and me to form an alliance, although now it seems that your country occupies the initiative on the battlefield, but you should not forget that the Ming Empire still sits on several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, with countless money and grain, Zhu Jie is a hard-working, eloquent and strategic hero, not a foolish Emperor Chongzhen, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, but it is not as vulnerable as you think, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to your Great Qing Kingdom, because you do not have enough money and food to maintain this war, and two or three hundred thousand troops will fight on the battlefield, The monthly consumption is an astronomical amount, can the Great Qing Kingdom afford it? The dilemma I am facing now is only whether Fujian can still be under my control, take a step back, even if I can't resist the advance of the imperial court, there are still thousands of miles of sea frontier for General Ben to rest, even if the Ming Empire gives them ten years, they can't eliminate General Ben's power in the East and South Seas! You are different, once the army is defeated, then you will be expelled from Shanhaiguan again, and even whether Manchuria can be kept is between the two, dozens of artillery, these are the most advanced red-coated artillery, strong combat power, it is a sharp weapon for attacking the city, you let this general hand over to you with a word, it is inevitable that it will be too deceitful......"

Sonny smiled: "Haha, General Zheng, this is what you said, just now you were still flatly denying the existence of this batch of arms, but now it is another set of rhetoric, what else do you have to say?" ”

I rub!

Zheng Zhilong was so angry that he wanted to give himself two resounding slaps, this rotten mouth, what did he say! This Sony looks like a Manchurian, but like an out-and-out Chaoshan businessman, with sharp teeth and a lotus mouth, and the dead can make him live......

"Mr. Sony, it's not difficult for you to ask for these cannons, we can even provide you with all the shells, but we also have a request!"

Zheng Zhibao on the side said suddenly.

"Zhi Leopard!"

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly stopped Zheng Zhibao's remarks, and even himself was bypassed, and Zheng Zhibao was even less of an opponent.

"Big brother, hehe, it's okay, I'll just say one word!"

Zheng Zhibao sneered: "Mr. Sony, we want Manchurian war horses, one artillery and two hundred war horses, ten shells and one war horse, how many artillery and shells can we get, then it depends on how many war horses your country can provide us, you also know that the elite combat power of the Tianwei Army and the Three Towns of Nanjing is not inferior to your Manchurian elite cavalry, and even the Manchurian elite cavalry has no chance of winning, not to mention these soldiers in our Fujian Town?" If you want us to set off a big storm in Fujian and even in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, it will not work without a strong cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shiying, the two major forces of two thousand troops, have not been able to hold out for three months under the attack of the imperial court, not to mention a small Fujian town of our Zheng family? ”

The smile on Sony's face froze, and he didn't expect that Zheng Zhibao, who looked rough, would throw an equally headache question at him, war horses, the Zheng family wants to equip cavalry with good war horses!
