Chapter 224 Armistice Conditions

Moreover, the reason why Cai Shanji sent Wen Liufang to appease Yu Xiaotian this time was also selfish. Now everyone can see that when Zhu Yifeng was defeated in Nanri Island, his official position was no longer guaranteed, and his term as governor had come to an end.

.

But many people have ideas about who will be the governor of Fujian next. At least Cai Shanji now has some ideas about this position, because after Prime Minister Zhu Qin was dismissed from office, Zhu Yifeng became the chief envoy to the government.

He was also promoted from Fujian as an inspector.

This time Zhu Yifeng lost his official position, and the court might promote officials from Fujian to take over the post of governor of Fujian. At present, it seems that the most favorable challenger for this position is Cai Shanji.

Moreover, the relationship between Cai Shanji and Zhu Yifeng is not very good. Zhu Yifeng's dismissal this time should not involve him. Cai Shanji can take the blame. Zhu Yifeng can take the blame. He only needs this time to turn the tide and stop the sea wolf.

If there is chaos, then it is very likely that he will make great achievements because of this incident and aspire to be the governor of Fujian.

This is the main reason why Cai Shanji sent Wen Liufang here to recruit An Yu Xiaotian this time. If he could recruit An Yu Xiaotian at this time and use it for him, he would not only be able to perform meritorious service, but also have a usable army.

Military power, as long as the sea surface of Fujian is cleared in the future, this will be a great achievement!

Let alone a governor, if this goal can really be achieved, there is even the possibility of taking a step up in the next step, and becoming a governor is not necessarily impossible.

Wen Liufang came to Zhongzuo to find Yu Xiaotian with Cai Shanji's petty intentions behind his back. However, just after meeting him, Yu Xiaotian saw Wen Liufang's trump card.

Now it seems that it is impossible to scare Yu Xiaotian, and the possibility of recruiting Yu Xiaotian is not very high, because Yu Xiaotian has obviously seen that Cai Shanji has no conditions at hand to recruit him.

It's not too high. Yu Xiaotian doesn't seem to pay attention to such conditions at all.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Wen Liufang discovered that Yu Xiaotian didn't seem to be ready to fight the government to the death.

At least now Yu Xiaotian gave him a chance to talk, and although he bluntly said that he was not afraid of the army coming to suppress him, and he was unwilling to accept recruitment, there was still a vague possibility of room for maneuver.

After thinking of this, Wen Liufang felt a little better. She shook her head and sighed, clasped her fists and said to Xiaotian: "Master Yu is really powerful, he has a bright eye! In this case, the student still wants to remind Master Yu.

Although Mr. Yu is currently in great power, it seems that the Fujian side doesn't have much to do against you Seawolves for the time being. However, if Mr. Yu continues to act so boldly, sooner or later, the government and the army will come to suppress him. Presumably, Mr. Yu will also not be able to do anything about it.

I would like to see this happen!

So in this case, we might as well talk about how to resolve this matter..."

Yu Xiaotian was sitting in the temporary study room, and Lin Yiyang was sitting across from him. The two of them were drinking tea and talking.

"What do you think of the government's statement this time?" Lin Yiyang looked into Yu Xiaotian's eyes and asked Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian blew a piece of tea leaf on the water in the tea bowl leisurely and contentedly, took a sip and said with a smile: "I won't consider recruiting people for the time being!

But continuing like this is not an option! Although we now have the initiative, the Fujian officials really have nothing to do with us.

But if we keep fighting like this, we will delay a lot of business! With our current strength, although we can compete with Fujian, we cannot compete with the entire Ming Dynasty.

We have to rely on the business of connecting the sea to survive. If we are in this state of war for a long time, the government can afford it, but we can't afford it!

Our business supplies mainly come from mainland Fujian. Although we can also purchase goods from Guangdong and Zhejiang, after all, the distance is long and it is not cost-effective.

In the short term, it's fine, but in the long term, it's very detrimental to us, so this time we've reached this point, it's almost time to give up!

Our goal has actually been achieved, Weitou Bay has been controlled by us, and it will become our source of wealth in the future!

If we continue to fight, we can say that we are sitting on a treasure mountain in vain, but we will not be able to seize even half of the financial resources, so we should give up when we are good. Now we must let Fujian officials acquiesce in our control of this area!"

Lin Yiyang nodded and said: "The boss is very thoughtful, but the current question is, will the Fujian government agree to our conditions? This Weitou Bay is an important place that the Fujian government is watching, whether it is Kinmen, the center-left or even the high

Pucheng is the place where the government guards the government. How can the government agree easily? How dare Cai Shanji agree?"

Yu Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yiyang, put down the tea bowl and said: "It depends on how Mr. Lin can help me find a solution! I will not return this Weitou Bay to the government, but this war must also be stopped. How to do it specifically?

, I would like to hear what ideas Mr. Lin can come up with!"

Lin Yiyang lowered his head and was silent for a while, sipping the tea silently. Yu Xiaotian did not rush him, and looked like an old god, enjoying his tea.

After a while, Lin Yiyang raised his head and smiled bitterly and said: "The master has posed a problem for the students! The master is unwilling to accept the recruitment, but he wants to control Weitou Bay for a long time, and he wants Fujian officials to acquiesce in this, indeed

It’s really difficult!

I just thought about it for a while and realized that this matter is indeed difficult to handle! But since the boss wants me to find a way, I can only think that this is the only way to have some possibility!"

Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl, looked at Lin Yiyang and said: "Oh? Then Mr. Lin, let's talk about it! What should we do to make the official acquiesce in our actual control of Weitou Bay?..."

Wen Liufang stayed at the Zhongzuo Institute for two days. When Yu Xiaotian proposed the conditions, Wen Liufang jumped up and shook his head: "No! This is absolutely impossible! If there is a truce, Master Fantai will

I will find a way to give you some compensation, but Mr. Yu, you must withdraw from Weitou Bay! Otherwise, this matter will never be negotiated!

As for the master's request to restore the source of prosperity, I don't think it's a problem. Lord Fantai will definitely be satisfied with the master's request.

I hope the leader will take a step back, this matter has been left to the feudal lord, and even the new governor may not dare to agree to the terms of the leader!"

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I will decide on Weitou Bay, Kinmen, Zhongzuo, and Gaopu. I will not withdraw from these places again! If you want me to take a step back, I can do it at the Fuquan Institute.

Not getting involved is my last condition!

As for whether Lord Fantai agrees or disagrees, that is your business. Please go back first, Mr. Wen, and explain these conditions to Lord Fantai, and ask Lord Fantai to make a decision!

I will give you ten days. I can not attack Tong'an County for now, but after ten days, if Master Fantai is undecided, then I will attack Tong'an County and attack Fuquan Qianhu Station at the same time!"

Wen Liufang was trembling all over. He stared at Xiaotian and asked, "Doesn't Master Yu have no room for maneuver?"

"No! This is already my last condition! Where to go depends on Mr. Cai's decision!" Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said unceremoniously.

Seeing that Yu Xiaotian flatly rejected his request, Wen Liufang knew that it was useless to stay and talk today. Now he had to return to Quanzhou and tell Cai Shanji about this matter. This kind of thing must be handled by Cai Shanji.

An idea, he couldn't make such a decision.

So Wen Liufang said goodbye dejectedly and was sent to the dock. This time he did not take the boat he came with. In order to return to Quanzhou City faster, Yu Xiaotian specially sent him a Fei-type speedboat.

The captain sent Wen Liufang to Quanzhou as quickly as possible and waited for news at Dachui Island in Quanzhou Bay.

Wen Liufang did not dare to delay the boat ride and immediately rushed back to Quanzhou City. At this time, Cai Shanji came to Quanzhou City in person and was waiting for news about him in Quanzhou City.

There was nothing to say on the way. Wen Liufang returned to Quanzhou City and immediately asked to see Cai Shanji. He told Cai Shanji one by one the conditions listed by Xiao Tiankai.

This time Yu Xiaotian gave Cai Shanji several major conditions.

First: If the Fujian officials want to make Hailang stop its subsequent military operations, they must compensate Hailang 100,000 taels of silver, and it must be official silver, not a penny less. This is already the minimum limit.

Second: Fujian officials must allow Mao Shengyuan to resume business, return the property that was confiscated from Mao Shengyuan, and compensate according to the price if it can no longer be found, and are not allowed to interfere with Mao Shengyuan's business in the future.

Third: From now on, Hailang will have actual control over Weitou Bay, including Gaopu City on the shore. In addition, Xiamen Island and Kinmen Island will also be under Hailang's actual control, and Weitou Cape will also be under Hailang's control! To put it bluntly,

That is, Sea Wolf wants to have actual control over the entire Weitou, and it will serve as Sea Wolf's port here for sea trade, and the government is not allowed to interfere!

Fourth: Regarding the conflict between Fujian officials and Hailang, the captured officers, generals and some officials were allowed to have their families pay a ransom to redeem them. Each person had different official positions, and different prices were set and paid.

You can redeem people, and also for some people who died in battle

Their families can also pay to redeem the bodies of generals, but Sea Wolf can return the remains of Chen Wencan, who committed suicide on Nanri Island, to his family for free. Of course, if the soldier’s family is willing to pay to redeem them,

If you reply to them, you can do the same thing.

Fifth: Sea Wolf’s merchant ships can enter and exit any port along the coast of Fujian at will in the future, and the local government is not allowed to tax or interrogate them!

These five conditions are the five most important conditions that Yu Xiaotian put forward to Cai Shanji this time. As long as Cai Shanji fulfills them, the Sea Wolf will stop all military operations against Fujian, and will restrain his subordinates in the future to reduce attacks on the coast of Fujian as much as possible.

of harassment.

When Wen Liufang told Cai Shanji these five conditions, Cai Shanji's face turned pale with anger. He directly grabbed a jade ruler on the table and threw it heavily on the green brick floor. He threw the piece on the spot.

The jade ruler fell to pieces.

(The new January has begun! I almost forgot to yell, brothers, I want a monthly ticket! This is a matter of face, please brothers!)
