Chapter 269 His Zichen is so free and easy, so imposing
On the third day, new negotiations continued.
Before the Qing Dynasty's people boarded the peace negotiation ship, Ling Shumo pointed at the map and documents and ordered:
"With 40,000 troops on the ground, they will have to agree today even if they don't want to!"
Wang Kai, the commander of the Cavalry Battalion, also looked at the map carefully: "The soldiers of Nanying are weak. Even if we bring troops from their mouths, it will be useless."
There is only coercion, no inducement.
Nan Ying’s peace talks this time are doomed to fail.
There is no other way except to submit, agree to bow down and divide.
After all, Yinan Ying’s military force was actually no match for the Qing Dynasty, and they didn’t dare to fight.
Bai Wan held a scroll and a brush in his hands, and most of the time he watched indifferently like a bystander.
In comparison, the Qing Dynasty, which took great pains to hold on to the enemy and recover the country, was obviously better off than the chaotic and incompetent Southern Dynasty, which brought disaster to the country and the people.
As for, that Li Simeng!
It’s not too late to settle the accounts after the peace talks are over.
So, he carefully studied the position of the official ship and sat down at the lower left.
This negotiation was doomed to fail, and Bai Wan chose the angle that best depicted Nan Ying's defeated face.
Just think about it, when Xuanli invaded, these peace-loving officials were so cowardly.
Cession and indemnity again and again...
Now, these guys have surrendered in shame!
I am so happy!
"Zi Chen, if we can reach an agreement today, we can officially retire and return home!" Bai Wan did not hide anything.
Ling Shumo looked at him, smiling as he elegantly picked up the pen: "It's not that easy. From what I can tell, without some external help, it may take half a month to get any results."
At least half a month?
Bai Wan was surprised. He had always thought that the so-called peace talks between the two dynasties could be resolved in just a few days, but he thought it was too easy.
Soon, the Nanying delegation boarded the official ship.
Li Simeng's right hand had already been bandaged. The wound was so deep that he couldn't even lift his arm, so he had to ask a clerk to take notes with a pen beside him.
He faced Bai Wan with a ferocious look on his face.
A few days ago, the peace negotiation documents of the Qing Dynasty were sent to Nanying at full speed. After an urgent journey of 800 miles, Emperor Xuanxing said that he would give up his interests and continue to seek peace.
The original peace negotiation document was actually written by Li Simeng, who really overestimated his own abilities.
Emperor Xuanxing deliberately made himself look so ugly, but now he has bowed his head and still advocates peace talks with the Qing Dynasty.
When Bai Wan heard the new negotiation document, he almost laughed out loud.
The gap between Nan Ying's second request and hers is a bit too big.
Perhaps he was frightened by Ling Shumo's initial aggressiveness, or perhaps it was because of the intimidation of the 40,000 troops not far away, so it would not be good to be tough.
This time, Li Simeng couldn't wait to tell Nan Ying's price.
First, the Qing Dynasty and Nanying used the Qingliang Mountain line below the Chijiang River as the border, gave up the territory of Chijiang County, and did not invade each other.
Second, Nanying provided 100 million taels of silver and 1 taels of gold to the Qing Dynasty every year in exchange for mutual trade.
Third, Nanying will not submit to China, but will only become a brother country.
I only mention these three points, I dare not mention the rest.
Compared to the beginning, this is a huge concession.
Li Simeng gritted his teeth and said, "These are what your majesty wants."
Ling Shumo immediately took the document and smiled slightly, exuding an elegant and peerless grace.
Then he clapped his hands: "Bring the people up!"
So, everyone watched as a group of Nanying soldiers were escorted in, and they all knelt down.
Obviously, these people are secret guards who are accustomed to killing.
Everyone stared at it in amazement, especially the members of the Nanying delegation, who almost all looked at each other and avoided each other's gaze.
Ling Shumo nodded slightly: "When two dynasties are negotiating, envoys will not be killed. But, Lord Li, you seem to want to make an exception."
"You said that the boundary is Qingliang Mountain, but in fact this mountain stretches for several miles, surrounding Chijiang County and the sea. If the upper reaches are blocked, Chijiang will be in danger."
"As for paying tribute of 100 million taels of silver and 1 taels of gold every year? With all the compensations before, Nan Ying can't even come up with 50 taels of silver now. Isn't it enough to plunder the people's blood and sweat?"
"It is the Qing Dynasty that is helping to fight against Xuan Li, so we can sleep peacefully in the south. You need the Qing Dynasty to protect you, so what qualifications do you have to be just a brother country!"
"Besides, there are these people who want to assassinate the Qing Dynasty's envoys. It is hard to tell whether this so-called concession agreement is true or false!"
Really, he's getting tougher.
"you!"
Li Simeng held the peace terms in his hand, his face livid, and he got angry on the spot and picked up the teacup and threw it at Ling Shumo.
Unfortunately, the other party gently turned sideways to catch it and threw it back.
"What on earth do you want!" Li Simeng was furious and gnashed his teeth. "Ling-Shu-Mo!"
Bai Wan's mouth almost dropped open in shock. Shouldn't this negotiation be done with words? He could actually use his hands!
His Zi Chen is so free and easy, so imposing!
There's a good future for me to become a gangster and join him in gang fights!
Bah! Zichen is a talented person, and throwing teacups doesn't make him a scoundrel!
Ask... ask the gentleman who throws things elegantly to return the gift.
Such scenes must be painted vividly!
Suddenly, the pen in his hand seemed to be energized, and he painted with such passion and enthusiasm, especially the scene of breaking the teacup, in which he even drew the water stains on the ground.
Several peace negotiation officials nearby were also arguing fiercely. Those who could use force did so, while those who couldn't use force used their words.
Ling Shumo was being aggressive and was determined to ensure the failure of the peace talks.
As for Bai Wan, the drawing papers and sketches from that day in his hand were piled up in layers, and there were quite a lot of them!
Then, this guy, who wanted to watch the fun, gave the drawings to the historian.
"Lord Xiaotian! These are all good stuff. Besides rushing them to the capital of Qing Dynasty, you can also sell some to the tabloids."
Tian Shiguan, who was standing next to him, was startled by the thick stack of things and felt a little tired holding them: "Master Bai, are you going to sell all these to the tabloids?"
"Of course, you can decide the price, but I want 46 cents!" Bai Wan tilted his head and said, "Sell the extra to the craftsmen who make revolving lanterns!"
After saying this, he was quite happy: "This scene will be quite interesting when it is animated!"
Historian Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the envoys from both sides who were still arguing and criticizing each other.
He glanced over here again and saw that Daqing's number one painter was in high spirits, happily painting the quarrel and fight between the two parties.
It was such a joy to paint!
What is this thing called?
This pair of calligraphy and painting geniuses, one is quarreling, the other is drawing a picture of the quarrel!
Historian Tian had no choice but to pick up his pen and write the time, place and other comments of the event on the painting.
"All right, Lord Bai! I'll do as you wish."
