Chapter 1547 Agreement

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Old Man Hu made a false move, but Zhao Ran calmly responded and punched him back while laughing and joking. There was no telling who lost and who won. Even though Old Man Hu seemed to be scolded quite badly, Old Man Hu also gained a lot.

    Zhao Ran successfully frightened the other party, and gave three paths for the other party to choose in a subtle and friendly manner; Old Man Hu touched part of Dao Sect's thoughts and released confusing smoke at the same time.

    The first negotiation is almost over here. In the remaining time, we happily ate a meal of fish and rice balls. Zhao Ran returned to the battleship and both parties digested it separately.

    The performance of Fairy Caiwei and Master Skeleton today was pretty good, and Zhao Ran also recognized them. But the key point is that these two people don't know where the bottom line of cooperation between the Lord of Qingqiu is, and the role they can play is limited to this.  Level.

    The negotiations on the second day were still conducted in a harmonious atmosphere, but even in the harmony, there was a sharp edge.  Old Man Hu's finger on the map continued to retreat southward, gradually giving up a small amount of land in the north of Yingzhou Island.

    Zhao Ran did not show much joy for this. He always said calmly that the fleet would hit wherever it was necessary to inspect the fleet, and would never go too far.  The converse meaning of this sentence is that as much territory as you want the fleet to exert, you must give it as much territory as possible.  Of course, this meaning cannot be clearly stated yet, and can only be understood by Old Man Hu himself - when he needs to regret or change his words in the future, just tell Old Man Hu directly: Senior, you are overthinking.

    On the fifth day of the negotiation, a stalemate began, because Old Man Hu's concession line had been narrowed to the center line of the island, and more than a hundred miles south was the vassal Izumo where Ginzan was located.

    That night, Fairy Caiwei sent a top-secret flying talisman: The Lord of Qingqiu seemed to care more about Yinshan.

    After getting the news, Zhao Ran hit hard. He asked Old Man Hu a question: "Does the Lord of Qingqiu want to establish a country in Yingzhou?"

    This question is difficult for Old Man Hu to answer.

    If you say yes, then you will inevitably face the following series of questions. What is the relationship with the Ming Dynasty after the founding of the People's Republic of China?  Will it be included in the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty?  Are Taoist temples allowed to be built?  Do you accept Daomen¡¯s naturalization of islanders?

    These issues will inevitably become the basis for the two sides to get along. As long as Old Man Hu says it is not allowed, there will be only one consequence, and the two sides will continue to fight.  Once Old Man Hu expresses his permission, it means that there is no difference between the palace and the pavilion, and the Lord of Qingqiu will be included in the Daomen's pavilion system.

    This is forcing Old Man Hu to express his attitude on behalf of the Lord of Qingqiu.

    "And if we say we don't plan to build a country, it means that there is no point in fighting here, and the entire four islands will be brought under the rule of the Taoist sect.

    Old man Hu asked for a pause and to continue tomorrow night.  Zhao Ran agreed. This issue was of great concern and it was reasonable for the other party to seriously consider it.

    What Zhao Ran raised was an unavoidable question, and Old Man Hu did not avoid it. When he returned to Okinori Island from the South Island, he brought more clear requirements: North Island, East Island and most places on the main island  It can be given to the Taoist sect. The Lord of Qingqiu only wants Nandao to house his men, and Nandao also obeys the Taoist sect's orders. He only wants Izumo and Iwami.

    The goal is very clear. There are no more tricks or means. What Old Man Hu wants is a mountain of silver.

    For Zhao Ran, he considered it from the perspective of Taoism. The tens of millions of people in the four islands of Yingzhou are what he wants. Yinshan cannot give up either. Qingqiu has satisfied his first request, and the rest remains to be discussed.  It's a question of money.

    Zhao Ran agreed that Ginshan should be returned to the master of Qingqiu, but Daomen would not give up on Izumo and Ishimi. In other words, the mining rights could be handed over to Qingqiu, but the emergence of a country within a country was not allowed.  Old Man Hu also accepted this.

    Zhao Ran was a little surprised by the Lord of Qingqiu's urgent need for silver, so he pushed further and raised the issue of silver lessons. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, after the silver was mined, 30% was collected.

    This condition was fiercely opposed by Old Man Hu, so Zhao Ran changed his mind and agreed not to impose a silver tax, but required that all the silver must be exported to the Ming Dynasty to be exchanged for various supplies, and the meaning of this clause was different from that of the Ming Dynasty.  Economic and social development are closely linked, emphasizing their unparalleled importance.

    Old man Hu also firmly opposed this clause, so Zhao Ran made a bold guess.  He said in the flying talisman to Chen Shandao that he was also attacking Yingzhou for the sake of money, and there was no guarantee that the money would be transferred to the Ming Dynasty. It was very likely that the Lord of Qingqiu had also received blackmail from Nazhen Fairy Tong.  In front of Chen Shandao, he used the word "blackmail" without hesitation, which was approved by Chen Shandao.

    Chen Shandao's opinion is that Nazhen Xiantong has only proposed to capture Yingzhou and has not explicitly stated that he needs money. The issue of money is just speculation by him, Zhao Ran and a few people.  In this case, we should first consider fighting the warLet¡¯s talk about it later.  With the strength of the inspection fleet, there will be many choices available in the future, and the space is occupied. Is getting money still a problem?

    As for the agreement, it can be revised slowly. Even if it is not revised, there are still many ways to do it. There is no need to remain in a stalemate on this issue.  In short, what Chen Shandao meant was to kill the bird first and put it in a pot to stew until it was cooked. If he wanted to eat an extra piece in the future, it would not be difficult, nor could it be restricted by a piece of paper.

    After Zhao Ran got Chen Shandao's idea, he felt that he was too simple and kind, and decided not to be so harsh in the subsequent negotiations.

    But to his surprise, Old Man Hu gave in again and agreed to pay 10% of the silver tax to Ming Dynasty, and also agreed to import half of the silver production into Ming Dynasty in various forms.

    At this point, both parties reached an agreement and initialed the text.  Zhao Ran wanted to see the signature signed by the Lord of Qingqiu, but unfortunately it was Old Man Hu who signed it, and the name he signed was "Hu Baozhen".

    Zhao Ran¡¯s side was signed by Chen Shandao, and the text was sent to the joint meeting, waiting for the final confirmation of the joint meeting.

    On the first day of April, with the consent of Zhenshitang, the joint meeting approved the agreement, and the approval document was sent to Yingzhou, which meant that the inspection fleet could start taking action.

    Zhao Ran informed Old Man Hu of the good news, and both sides began to reorganize their troops and prepare for a joint attack from the north and the south.  Old Man Hu said that the most difficult part of attacking Yingzhou is to surround and kill the big demon Lu Zhi. At present, it is difficult for Qingqiu to achieve this result alone. Lu Zhi is a big demon in the second form.  The main fighter defeated him three times, but was never able to capture him.

    Zhao Ran asked: "Senior Hu, have you not transformed into a second form yet?"

    Old man Hu said with a smile: "It's still a little bit worse, it's still a little bit worse."

    The Lord of Qingqiu has transformed into his second form. Old Man Hu, Hu Chunniang, Hu Balang, Fairy Caiwei and Master Skull are all in one form. With this strength, it is really not easy to capture Lu Zhi.

    Zhao Ran said: "Senior Hu, don't be anxious. When our Taoist monk takes action, Lu Zhi will be doomed this time!"
