The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61 Negotiations ([-])

Even if the tribal coalition forces cannot defeat the Restoration Army on the frontal battlefield, they can send people to continuously harass the Restoration Army's camp, harass the Restoration Army's mining teams, logging teams, and collection teams.

The Liberation Army is absolutely helpless about this!

You must know that this mountain forest is the home of the indigenous people!
If the Liberation Army really chose to go into the mountains and play hide-and-seek with the aborigines in the forest, it would definitely not be the aborigines who were devastated.

Such a result, I believe the Liberation Army is unwilling to see it.

It is precisely because of this that Sanchez made the decision to go to the Liberation Army camp to negotiate with Hongyu in person.

Shi Yongxin nodded, agreed, and then sent someone back to the camp quickly to report to Zhu Hongyu what happened here.

He personally led the way for Sanchez, and Shi Yongxin did not refuse Sanchez's escort.

……

When Zhu Hongyu received the news from Shi Yongxin, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

He didn't expect Sanchez's personal risky behavior at all!
However, this does not prevent him from preparing for the welcome ceremony and negotiating matters.

Sanchez personally risked, has shown his sincerity.

Zhu Hongyu naturally had to be prepared to show his sincerity.

"Order the whole army to line up in the big playground, and then drive out of the camp to welcome guests outside the camp!"

Zhu Hongyu gave instructions to the messengers around him.

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the soldiers of the Liberation Army who were practicing quickly assembled to complete the entire team.

Armed with their own weapons, they formed a relatively strict square formation one by one according to the company as a unit, and moved towards the entrance of the camp.

This is what Sanchez saw when he followed Shi Yongxin outside the camp of the Restoration Army.

At the gate of the Guangfu Army camp, square formations were neatly arranged one by one, and the soldiers standing in the front row all had sharp eyes and murderous looks.

Just standing there with his chest up and his head up, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

The breastplates they wore gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The muzzle of the musket in his hand is pointing obliquely at the sky, and the sleeve-type three-edged bayonet on the muzzle is sharp.

Sanchez was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, his face turned pale, and he muttered.

"This is really a powerful army, no worse than the Spanish Army in Manila!"

Sanchez began to feel grateful for his choice.

If he chooses to rob instead of negotiating, the warriors in the tribe will face this powerful army!
At that time, I don't know how many warriors will lose their lives!

What Sanchez doesn't know is that what he sees now is what Zhu Hongyu wants him to see.

The elite soldiers in front of him are all elite veterans of the Restoration Army.

And the entire recovery army has a total strength of nearly a thousand people, and elite veterans only account for two or three out of ten of them.

These elite veterans have all experienced several battles. They are used to seeing blood and life experience. Of course, they are as energetic as those new recruits who have never seen them before.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu's purpose is to show Sanchez the strength of the Liberation Army.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yongxin said confidently from the side.

"Of course, what are the Spaniards? They are just defeated generals. They fought with my recovery army and lost several battles."

"If it weren't for our recovery army being trapped in strength, the Spaniards would have been driven out of Luzon by us long ago!!"

Shi Yongxin understood the purpose of Zhu Hongyu's posture.

It's nothing more than using force to deter the native leader next to him!

Now that he understands Zhu Hongyu's meaning, Shi Yongxin will of course cooperate with Zhu Hongyu's performance to complete the scene.

No matter what the truth is, bragging is never illegal!

Hearing this, Sanchez just nodded and said nothing.

But the guards behind him couldn't help but show fear on their faces.

They all know the strength of the Spaniards, but the Chinese army in front of them can defeat the Spaniards several times, so how strong should they be?
I can't imagine it!
Standing in front of the phalanx of the Restoration Army, Zhu Hongyu saw Sanchez approaching with a slightly pale complexion, he let out a loud smile, strode up to meet him, and said.

"It's the first time I've met you. It's a pleasure meeting you, Your Excellency the Chief!"

Sanchez nodded.

"It's a pleasure meeting you too, Your Excellency the General!"

Although the two met for the first time, they were very enthusiastic and exchanged pleasantries.

Zhu Hongyu took Sanchez's hand affectionately, and welcomed Sanchez into the camp and into the reception room he had prepared in advance.

It is said to be a living room, but it is actually a thatched cottage.

The lighting in the thatched hut was not bad, and there was a long table in the middle, and representatives from both sides sat on one side.

Other than that, there is nothing else, which can be described as quite rudimentary.

But when Sanchez saw the scene in the living room, he nodded in satisfaction, with a smile on his face.

Although the living room was simple and simple, the seats of the negotiators on both sides showed the respect of the Liberation Army for them.

On a long table, both parties sit on one side, except for the distinction between the host and the guest, there is no distinction between upper and lower.

That's enough!
This time I came here by myself, whether it was the special formation of the Guangfu Army, or Zhu Hongyu going out to greet him, or the seating arrangements in the living room.

It can all show the sincerity and friendly attitude of the Liberation Army towards this negotiation!

Not in vain to personally take risks and enter the Guangfu Army camp.

This negotiation may be successful!

The two sides sat down respectively, and Zhu Hongyu and Sanchez sat facing each other.

Slipping down, several officers of the Guangfu Army, Li Guangyuan, Liu Shantai, Wang Youcai, Hu Dinggao, Shi Yongxin, etc., including the civil official Xu Wenbin, were also present.

As for Sanchez, his next position is his son and daughter, as well as his captain of the guard.

Other than that there is no one else!

Because the other high-level people in the tribe didn't come!

Sanchez dared to take the risk himself, but he couldn't and wouldn't drag the entire tribe along with him.

The tribal leader is gone, just change the leader, but if the high-level leaders of the tribe are taken over by the recovery army, then their tribe will really be over.

When the attendant brought the tea, the two sides began a formal negotiation.

Zhu Hongyu first opened his mouth to welcome Sanchez's visit, and highly praised the harmonious and friendly traditional relationship between the two parties...

Although today is the first time the two sides have contacted each other!
But it doesn't matter!

Sanchez also opened his mouth to express his satisfaction with the welcome ceremony organized by the Liberation Army and his gratitude to the Liberation Army for their hospitality...

Although the Restoration Army only served them a glass of water!

But that doesn't matter either!
The two sides first exchanged business with each other for a while before entering the real negotiation process.

Sanchez spoke.

"People from your department entered our territory to mine iron ore and coal mines, which greatly violated the interests of our department!"

"Our Ministry expresses serious concern about this and lodges a protest!"

Sanchez's son chimed in.

"You opened mines on our land without our permission, and you must pay compensation!"

Sanchez's daughter also nodded and echoed.

"Yes, your people are still entering our territory to hunt and gather. If Dad hadn't stopped us, those Chinese who crossed the border would have been killed by our warriors long ago."
