Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 551 Summation
The big leather boots running on the port made a plopping sound, and there was the creaking sound of the cannon wheels rolling over the gravel road. In all directions, the strength of two divisions surrounded the port with great fanfare.

Seeing the Spanish warship docked slowly at the edge of the port under the support of several navy battleships, with arms crossed, Song Qingshu also paced past under the guards with a gloomy face.

The relationship between Daming and the Spaniards is really not so deep. The other party doesn’t regard the Ming people as human beings. When Song Qingshu wanted to give up, he played a game of colluding with the Dutch. Now there are still Spanish warships who dare to dock here. It's really playing lanterns in a latrine, courting death!Even Song Qingshu planned to hang the captured Spaniard somewhere in the port to feed the seagulls.

However, amidst the shouts of the Spanish sailors, the ship's ladder was slowly lowered, and a person Song Qingshu could never have imagined walked down.

Tang Ruowang!
As Song Qingshu's earliest teacher and close friend, Song Qingshu is tolerant enough for this red-haired old guy. As long as his Catholicism does not affect politics, Song Qingshu is free to build churches and churches wherever he likes, and distribute feudal superstition materials wherever he likes. I sent it, and reimbursed the return fare. A while ago, the West India Company's business was gradually spreading in Siam, and the old guy went to the Indo-China Peninsula to preach again. He never thought that he would meet him here!

Seeing him, Song Qingshu's face darkened immediately.

Walking in front, Tang Ruowang also seemed to be quite embarrassed, and distanced himself from the Spaniards behind, hurried to Song Qingshu and explained in a low voice: "Song Jiaoyou, things are not as you imagined, the old man was in Thonburi a few days ago When I was preaching, I was invited by the Pope’s personal letter, but who knew it, I was abducted to the ship!”

Later generations of this old guy served as the Qin Tianjian in the Qing Dynasty, and finally produced a book "Tianxue Biography", which completely included Chinese civilization as a branch and subsidiary of Western civilization to elevate the status of Catholicism. Tang Ruowang did everything he could to preach. Song Qingshu was very skeptical that he had no collusion with Spain, an old Catholic country. It was really that simple.

But this is not the time to get angry, and staring at him angrily, Song Qingshu waved his hands to the soldiers and said: "Lead Mr. Tang back to the city to repair his body, let's go down!" Eyes are on the back.

With so many bayonets shining coldly in the sun, it would be an absolute lie to say that they are not afraid. Following Tang Ruowang, several Spanish noses were fighting with each other, reluctantly followed off the boat like a western gentleman, In the lead, the aristocratic-looking guy with a Mediterranean hairstyle, black flannel, and a "toilet cover" like crumpled toilet paper around his neck came up tremblingly and gave Song Qingshu a Western court bow. Mandarin is a mixture of Henan dialect and Sichuan dialect.

"Your Excellency, I am Lord Manstein, the clerk of the Governor of New Spain, Count Buenos von Caton, and he is here on an envoy to Ming Dynasty at the order of the Governor."

After the self-introduction, this guy hastily added another sentence in fear: "I heard Mr. Tang Ruowang said that the Ming Dynasty has rules. When the two countries are at war, don't kill them!"

To say that I have seen a lot of fan ghosts, this is the first time I have seen someone who is so cowardly in his 40s, and his Chinese in the Brazilian dialect is too funny. The corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth followed suit, and Song Qingshu's own murderous aura was gone by more than half, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

"Marshal, our Daming is a country of etiquette after all, we have the right to invite them in and see what kind of moths they are playing this time. If they are as arrogant and domineering as last time, it will not be too late to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Sticking it to Song Qingshu's ear, Hong Chengchou whispered hurriedly to persuade him.After hesitating for a moment, Song Qingshu finally waved his hands to both sides, and with a huff, thousands of bayonets from the two divisions were all taken back at once, and the firecrackers stood neatly at their feet, watching the tense atmosphere As a result, the Spanish gentlemen who came down from the ship's ladder seemed to be half-stretched, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't talk nonsense with them, Song Qingshu got into the carriage with his hands behind his back arrogantly, what does it mean to be arrogant and respectful, and what does it mean to be a weak country without diplomacy?Now even the Spanish Asian headquarters has been taken down, and the beggar army can walk sideways wherever it is, and that Lord Manstein and the bishop's entourage behind him all brave their waists and walk behind.

To negotiate with the Spaniards, Song Qingshu's sea view villa was not qualified enough, so he moved it back to the Governor's Mansion in Manila. The original Spanish Governor's Mansion was built in the style of a western castle. Because of the rush to work, the West India Company only repaired and filled it on the original basis. After the damage, it looks quite high-end from the outside, but actually it’s cold, damp and not ventilated when you live in it. A large conference room with round tables seems to be haunted by vampires, which makes people uncomfortable.

However, this place originally belonged to Spain, but now it has become the office of the Governor of Ming Dynasty, and it is also covered with calligraphy and paintings. It is estimated that there are several.

Originally, negotiations with foreign countries such as Spain had to be led by the imperial court and the Ministry of Rites to formulate regulations and items, but Song Qingshu had never asked Emperor Chongzhen for such a major event as the start of the war. This negotiation is a big deal, and even Hong Chengchou, the prime minister of the five provinces, is used to it , sat down next to Song Qingshu without any abnormality, followed by several officers and a lot of staff officers, before Lord Manstein on the opposite side finished his sourness, Song Qingshu asked seriously.

"The governor of New Spain sent you to Daming, why? I am very busy, so I don't have time to accompany you here to make mushrooms!"

After a few Spaniards whispering nonsense to each other, the self-proclaimed China-handy Lord Manstein spoke with a smile in his crappy Mexican-accented Chinese.

"The Governor-General of New Spain sent his officials here in the hope of negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty!"

"A joke! You and other overseas barbarians are vulgar and rude, cruel and easy to kill. They have slaughtered more than [-] people of our Ming Dynasty. Their cruelty is no different from that of animals. How can I negotiate peace with people like you?"

Before Song Qingshu could speak, Zheng Sen sneered while slapping the table angrily. Most of the earliest people who went out to sea were their fellow villagers from Fujian. Disdainful, Zheng Sen was the first to knock on the table and get angry.

The head coach, deputy head, and the governor didn't say a word. He was a teacher rushing to speak, which was really rude, but this was what Song Qingshu wanted to say, but no one scolded him, and everyone's eyes turned to the Spaniards on the opposite side. face.

As soon as Zheng Sen spoke the official language in Nanjing, he was in a hurry and quickly. Hearing the ears of Manstein and the others, it was like the listening test of the Chinese CET-[-] exam. They were scolded like animals. These people were still confused, but The expression on Zheng Sen's face could tell that the words were not good, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a few seconds of hesitation, Manstein replied in his ugly Chinese.

"Dear Your Excellency, the Governor of New Spain also deeply regrets the incident in Manila. For this reason, Buenos Von, Marquis Caton is willing to compensate Daming with 400 million silver coins and four gold coins on behalf of His Majesty the King. [-] pieces, and the governor of Manila, Pedro, was also arrested for the crime of believing in the devil, the crime of massacre, and the crime of dereliction of duty.

These words really surprised Song Qingshu. After all, Spain is an old colonial empire. New Spain includes more than ten countries such as Texas, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, etc. Even if it declines, it is still thin. The dead camel was bigger than the horse, and Song Qingshu had expected that the Spaniards would seek peace. After all, he was taking the initiative in the Asian situation, but he didn't expect that these guys were so forthright.

What happened in Spain?
After hesitating for about 3 minutes, Song Qingshu decided to try again, still with the gloomy face, shook his head and said.

"No, Pedro, the governor of Manila, brutally massacred our nationals, which has aroused the anger of the emperor. The imperial decree must lock him up in the capital to rectify the law of the country! Pedro must be handed over to my Ming Dynasty for trial, as well as the Spanish war criminals in Manila. , must also be handed over to Daming for trial!"

This time, the ghosts put their heads together again, chattering and discussing, this time the discussion was obviously longer, but in the end, under Song Qingshu's surprised eyes, that Manstein was still like As Li Hongzhang negotiated with foreigners in later generations, what you say, Mr. Foreigners, is what you say!

"Your Excellency, General Ming, as you wish!"
