The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 30

"This negotiation is just a unilateral request from your side to our side, don't mention any more things to get what you want!"

"If you want to take the young master of the Scorch family back, you have to accept our conditions in full!"

Li Guangyuan is very talented in negotiation, and with a few words, he turned a negotiation that was originally evenly matched between the two sides into one where his own side took the initiative.

"First, you must release all the Chinese in your hands, including all craftsmen and coolies!"

"Second, you must immediately withdraw your troops, return to Manila, and promise not to invade our territory again!"

"Third, you must leave all the weapons in your hands, muskets, swords and spears!"

"Fourth, you have to pay us a ransom for the hostages, [-] Spanish silver dollars!"

"Fifth, the Scorch family must compensate us for all the losses during the period when the Chinese miners were forced to go to the mine, and repay the wages owed to the miners."

"Sixth, the Scorch family will pay a certain amount of silver dollars to the Chinese miners who died of illness, exhaustion, or were beaten to death by supervisors in the mine, and pay disability compensation to all Chinese miners who were disabled in the mine!"

"Seventh, the patriarch of the Scotch family must publicly apologize to the Chinese who have been oppressed for a long time in the mine!"

Li Guangyuan stated a total of seven conditions, with a very strong attitude and a tone that cannot be doubted.

Although he knew that it was impossible for the other party to fully agree to his conditions.

But if the other party does not agree, it does not prevent him from proposing!

Negotiation, to put it bluntly, is the essence of doing business, bargaining, asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot is a normal operation.

The Spanish envoy looked ugly and refused.

"This is impossible!"

"It is absolutely impossible for a noble Spaniard to agree to such a condition!"

Li Guangyuan spoke again and ordered.

"Cut people and sacrifice the flag!"

Spanish envoy: "..."

He's so depressed!

Li Guangyuan on the opposite side was about to cut people down and sacrifice flags at every turn, and he didn't seem to want to negotiate at all. How could he talk about it? !

The two sides wrangled with each other for a long time, and reached a consensus with difficulty when both sides made concessions.

The Daming Restoration Army released three hostages.

The Spaniards released all the Chinese in their hands and paid 1 silver dollars to the Ming Restoration Army.

Including ransom and so-called salary and disability compensation, death benefits!

He also promised to withdraw his troops at this point, and would not invade the territory of the Restoration Army in the future.

The other conditions are not agreed!
The reason why the Spaniards agreed to these conditions of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army was because they were sure that they would defeat the Restoration Army on the battlefield in a short while.

They felt that as long as they could defeat the Restoration Army, the silver dollars given out now would be recovered later!
Therefore, Capello is not stingy with money in exchange for his son!

As for releasing all the Chinese, Oscar and the others have the same idea.

They are sure that after defeating the Liberation Army, they will be captured again.

As for the matter of withdrawing troops and not committing any more crimes.

Hehe, what you say means what you say, you have to treat people. Do pagans count as people?

……

With the agreement reached, the two sides began to exchange money and hostages.

Some of the recovery soldiers carried boxes of silver dollars and retreated into the mine with the released Chinese.

The three hostages held by the Restoration Army were also handed over to the Spaniards.

Yada was supported by two Spanish soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, and the fear on his face was still there.

He thought he was going to die today!

I didn't expect to be saved!

Yada swore that he would make Zhu Hongyu pay the price for cutting off three of his fingers.

After Yada left the recovery army formation, she turned her head and said fiercely to Zhu Hongyu who was in the formation.

"I must make you, a lowly pig, pay the price!"

The soldiers of the Restoration Army around Zhu Hongyu aimed their guns at Yada, who was speaking rudely, and were about to pull the trigger to shoot him into a hornet's nest.

Zhu Hongyu raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't do it, let him go!"

"This general is not the kind of person who breaks promises, even to the enemy!"

Reputation seems useless on the surface, but it is the most indispensable quality for those who achieve great things.

People can't stand without faith!
Only when a person has credibility can someone be willing to listen to and believe what he says.

Zhu Hongyu always speaks credibility to the enemy, and the people around him will think, since the general and the enemy mean what they say, how can they deceive them?
Only everyone in the Guangfu Army believed in the promise made by Zhu Hongyu from the bottom of their hearts, and the big cake he drew.

Zhu Hongyu's promise is not only an empty promise, but also becomes the carrot hanging in front of everyone in the Great Ming Restoration Movement!

Only the top and bottom of the recovery army will sacrifice their lives for the prosperity and glory of the princes promised by Zhu Hongyu for a hundred generations.

Only in this way can Zhu Hongyu see the day when the Tartars will be expelled and China will be restored.

This is the reason why Shang Yang wanted to emigrate to establish his faith before the reform.

For Shang Yang, if he wants to reform, the first thing is to establish his reputation!
The same is true for Zhu Hongyu, he also wants to create a character set for himself in the hearts of everyone!

……

After the exchange of hostages and the delivery of the ransom, the atmosphere on the battlefield became chill again.

Capello looked at his son's left hand missing three fingers, furious.

"Mr. Oscar, please order, I will kill those damn Chinese rebels!"

Oscar nodded and said.

"Of course!"

"As the people of God, the Spaniards will never yield to the heathen!"

Spanish soldiers formed a large square and marched towards the Restoration Army.

Zhu Hongyu also commanded the battle quickly and calmly. The musketeers in the front row of the Liberation Army checked the muskets and lit the matchlock.

The distance between the two sides is constantly approaching!

The soldiers of the Liberation Army who hadn't experienced battles showed obvious timidity on their faces, but Zhu Hongyu stood in front of everyone and loudly issued instructions one after another.

"The musketeers in the front row are ready to shoot in bursts!"

"The enemy is closer to 50 meters before firing!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu's high-pitched and powerful voice injected strength into the Liberation Army.

They all know that the general is by their side, standing with them!
For a newly formed army, the lead of the general is a necessary means to maintain the morale of the army.

The two sides gradually approached, less than 200 meters away!

Zhu Hongyu ordered loudly.

"Send someone to lure and shoot!"

A few brave and fearless soldiers in the recovery army took the lead, jumped out of the formation with their muskets on their backs, and strode 50 meters in front of the Spanish formation.

He raised his gun and aimed at the Spaniard on the opposite side, and then pulled the trigger.

boom! boom! boom!
Several shots were fired in a row, and the smoke filled the air, and some of the Spaniards were shot and fell to the ground.

However, the quality of the Spaniard's soldiers is undoubtedly revealed. Even if they are shot, no one pulls the trigger to fight back if they are within the specified distance!
Zhu Hongyu sighed, knowing that his plan had failed.

He sent people to shoot at close range in front of the Spaniards, luring the Spaniards to fire.

As long as one person can't withstand the pressure of being shot in the face and fires, the musketeers in the Spanish phalanx will be considered useless.
