Daming Military Empire

Chapter 616 The war of attacking the heart, the great powers are terrified

After Zheng Zhilong received the emperor's edict, he felt more at ease. The emperor's intention was obvious. If Tsarist Russia and even the big powers don't cede land and pay compensation, then they will fight until they obey!

It turned out that he was also worried that the peace talks would not achieve the desired results, because the amount of compensation requested by the emperor was too high, so high that he, a master of extorting money who is used to talking like a lion, was frightened. He estimated that the big powers might not agree. , At that time, he would not be able to explain to the emperor.

It's all right now, if you don't agree, fuck you, see if you agree or not!

Zheng Zhilong felt that his face was red, his neck was thicker, and he spoke more energetically. With this confidence, what else did he worry about?

Of course, he still hopes that the big powers that can fool him will lose money. The emperor asked him to come here to get him to extort money. , what is there to say.

It is not so easy to ask the big powers to lose money, especially the money that the emperor asked people to lose this time is not a small amount. Although Zheng Zhilong has rich experience in extorting money, he dare not take it lightly.

This negotiation is an art. It doesn't mean that the two parties just sit down and talk. In many cases, talking is the most important thing. It mainly depends on whether you are strong enough.

Dominance is not something to be said with words, it must be displayed for others to see. In layman's terms, it is pretending to be aggressive, and in literary terms, it is a battle of hearts.

How can the big powers realize the strength of Ming Dynasty?

First of all, it is natural to let them see how many troops Daming has come. There are 80 Ming troops gathered at the foot of Wushan Mountain. It is reasonable enough to be scary, but Zheng Zhilong is not enough!
Zheng Zhilong reckoned that if the great powers were really aggressive, it would not be a problem to gather millions. The 80 Ming army was not enough to scare the great powers to honestly lose money, and it would be almost doubled.

How to do it?Could it be that he asked the emperor for help and asked the emperor to send another 80 people over to cooperate with him in pretending to be coercive?
This is naturally impossible, and pretending to be coercive does not necessarily mean that all the troops must be brought here. It is only necessary to call the legion leader. It is generally believed that if the legion leader is here, then his legion must be nearby.

What Legion Commanders are nearby now?Mao Wenlong counts as one, Qin Gongming counts as one, and Yang Geng, Chen Hui, and Zheng Ming are also army commanders. These are actually able to participate in the war, and they are not completely fools, but they are not here, and the big powers don’t know it. If you want to pretend to be forceful, you must let them know.

The only ones who were nearby but did not participate in the battle were Shi Kefa, the commander of the Second Army Corps of the Imperial Guard, and Huang Degong, the commander of the Western Regions Corps. He won't be allowed to mess around like this. A legion commander has 10 people under his command. Wouldn't it be absurd to run to accompany you to pretend to be aggressive!
Calculated in this way, there are a total of fifteen legion commanders and 150 million troops, which should be almost enough to scare the great powers to pee their pants.

The next step is to show the great powers the weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire. This is easy to handle. The Ming army does not lack weapons and equipment, but it is rare to display them intimidatingly until the time of war.

How and where to put this weapon and equipment is also a matter of knowledge.

Now Wushan City can be considered to be in its infancy. The outer city walls have been completed, and the roads in the city are almost repaired, but there are few buildings. Only a place in the middle similar to the government office is under construction, and other places are basically camps. ocean, no buildings.

The newly-built Yamen of the Governor’s Mansion is exactly where Zheng Zhilong decided to negotiate. He directly asked Lu Xiangsheng to put all the armored vehicles and Shenwei cannons all the way from the west main entrance to the Governor’s Mansion Yamen, and then asked the commanders of each army to move out all the artillery. , directly behind the armored vehicles and Shenwei cannons.

In this way, as soon as the negotiators of the great powers enter the city, they will see a forest of artillery, and the timid ones will become weak in fear of being frightened, and they will not be able to walk!

In the end, it is necessary to show the great powers the determination of the Ming Empire to attack the European continent. This cannot be said by mouth, there must be something to look at.

For example, hang a battle map on the wall of the negotiating room, and draw all the countries in the continental Europe with arrows;

Another example is to pile the ammunition outside and pile up a few mountains to show the big powers that Ming is fully prepared;

For another example, repair and widen the road from Wushan City to Europe, make it easy for the army to pass through, and so on.

In short, Zheng Zhilong had a lot of bad ideas, which made Lu Xiangsheng stunned. Lu Xiangsheng really didn't know that he had to prepare so many things for just one negotiation.

When they were almost ready, the ten days agreed with Kopelov, the envoy of Tsarist Russia's peace talks, arrived. Lu Xiangsheng directly sent an interpreter according to Zheng Zhilong's intention, and went to the nearest bastion of Tsarist Russia to announce: The Great Ming Empire The negotiators of the party have already arrived. If you want peace talks, you can come to Wushan City immediately to talk, and if you don't want to talk, forget it.

This is actually part of the psychological war, which implies that against the Habsburg powers, the Ming Empire does not think much about peace talks, but prefers to fight!

Sure enough, this simple move startled the great powers. On the third day, Tsarist Russia sent someone to inform them that the peace negotiators from various countries were already on their way. Please wait for two days.

You must know that Wushan is not close to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia. Even if you run fast and run day and night, it will take at least two days and two nights to go back and forth. Tsarist Russia can reply so quickly, which is enough to prove that they are really scared and afraid of a slight. , the Ming army rushed over recklessly!

The following strongmen are really in a hurry. Zheng Zhilong is sitting leisurely in the governor's mansion in Wushan City, but the negotiators of the big powers are rushing here in a carriage, and their skeletons are almost broken.

Two days later, the negotiators from the big powers arrived on time. There were less than 20 people in the group including translators. They were very bachelors. They didn’t bring a single guard and ran over with bare buttocks. Anyway, no matter how many people they bring, there is no Ming Empire. There are so many people, it is better not to bring them.

The reputation of the Ming Empire is still very good, and they treat the envoys of the enemy countries with extra courtesy, so they don't have to worry about security issues at all.

However, before they arrived at Wushan City, their hearts skipped a beat, because halfway through, they discovered that the road leading to Wushan City had been widened by the Ming army. This must be for the convenience of the army to pass through. To fight!
As soon as they arrived at Wushan City, they were taken aback by the majestic city wall. The Ming Empire is really terrifying. How could it be so fast to build such a city wall that cannot be seen at a glance in such a short time!

As soon as they entered the city gate, their calves trembled in fright. The weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire are too exaggerated. Both sides of the road are full of steel monsters and terrifyingly large artillery, and there are dense forests of artillery in the back. In the distance, you can even faintly see the hills piled up with shells and gunpowder barrels, which are endless, and you can't see the edge at all!

When they entered the negotiating room, their faces turned pale with fright. The opposite side was all in black formal attire, the four in the middle were generals in marshal uniforms, and the twelve on the left and right were all with the rank of general. How many troops have been transferred!

At this time, someone finally saw the map on the wall, and soon, all the negotiators were hinted to glance at it, which really almost scared some people to pee their pants.

It was a battle map, and the main body of the map was Europe. A large group of dense arrows pointed directly at the European countries from the Wushan Mountains. It meant that the Ming Empire planned to beat up all the great powers together!
