After receiving the emperor's sage, Zheng Zhilong felt much more at ease. The emperor's meaning was very obvious. If Tsarist Russia and even the great powers did not cede land and did not pay compensation, then they would fight until they were submissive!

It turned out that he was worried that this peace talk would be difficult to achieve the expected results, because the emperor's compensation amount was too high, so high that he, a habitual master who extorted money, was scared. He estimated that the great powers would not agree, and he would not be able to explain to the emperor at that time.

Now, if you don’t agree, you will do it. It depends on whether you agree or not!

Zheng Zhilong felt his face turned red, his neck became thicker, and he was very energetic when he spoke. With this confidence, what else was he worried about? If I don’t pay any money, I will beat you up, depending on whether you pay or not.

Of course, he still hopes that the great powers who can fool him to pay the money. The emperor asked him to come here meant that he would extort money. If he really wanted to fight, there was no need to let him come over. Just let Lu Xiang rise directly. Anyway, it was a fight, so what's there to say.

It is not that easy for the great powers to lose money, especially the money the emperor paid was not a small amount this time. Although Zheng Zhilong had rich experience in extorting money, he did not dare to take it lightly.

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

Strongness is not something that is said with words. It must be shown for others to see. In layman's terms, it is to show off, and the literary and artistic term is to fight the heart.

How can we let the great powers realize the strength of the Ming Dynasty?

First of all, we naturally want to let them see how many troops came to the Ming Dynasty. There were 800,000 Ming troops gathered at the foot of Wushan Mountain, which was scary enough, but Zheng Zhilong was not enough!

Zheng Zhilong estimated that if the great powers really acted ruthlessly, it would be no problem to gather a million yuan. The 800,000 Ming army was not enough to scare the great powers to lose money honestly, and it would be almost the same to double it.

What should I do? Should I ask the emperor for help and ask the emperor to send another 800,000 troops to cooperate with him to show off?

This is naturally impossible. Pretending to do so does not necessarily mean that all the troops are transferred. Just call the commander of the legion. Generally speaking, if the commander of the legion is here, then the legion under his command must be nearby.

What are the commanders nearby now? Mao Wenlong is one, Qin Gongming is one, and Yang Geng, Chen Hui, and Zheng Ming are also commanders of the commanders of the army. These are actually considered to be able to participate in the war, and they are not completely fooling people. It’s just that they are not here and the great powers don’t know. If you want to show off, you must let them know.

The remaining ones who were nearby and did not participate in this war were Shi Kefa, the commander of the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, and Huang Degong, the commander of the Western Regions Corps. The other roads were too far away and they could not call him. Besides, the emperor would not allow him to mess around like this. A commander had 100,000 troops under him. Isn’t it ridiculous to run to show off with you?

In this way, there are 15 legion commanders and 1.5 million troops, which should be almost enough to scare the great powers to pee their pants.

Next, we will show the weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire to the great powers. This is easy to deal with. The Ming army does not lack weapons and equipment, but it is rare to show them to scare people before the war.

How to place these weapons and equipment and where they are placed is also a knowledge.

Now Wushan City is in its infancy. The outer wall has been completed and the roads in the city have been almost completed. There are very few buildings. In the middle, a place similar to the Governor's Office is under construction. Other places are basically still in the ocean of tents and there is no building.

The newly built Governor's Office was the negotiation site that Zheng Zhilong decided. He directly asked Lu Xiangsheng to place all the armored chariots and Shenwei cannons along the way, from the west main gate to the Governor's Office, and then asked the commanders of each legion to move out all the cannons and line them up directly behind the armored chariots and Shenwei cannons.

In this way, the negotiators of the great powers could see a forest of artillery as soon as they entered the city. They were timid and afraid that they would be frightened and could not even walk on the road!

Finally, we must show the great powers the Ming Empire's determination to attack the continent. This cannot be said by words, but there must be something to see.

For example, hanging a combat map on the wall of the negotiation room, drawing arrows all continental countries;

For example, pile the ammunition outside and pile up a few mountains to let the great powers see that the Ming Dynasty was well prepared;

For example, repair the road leading to Wushan City to the continent, broaden it, and make it look like it is convenient for the army to pass, and so on.

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

After they prepared almost the ten days agreed with the Tsarist Russian peace talks envoy Kopelov. As he said, Lu Xiangsheng directly sent an interpreter to the nearest bastion of Tsarist Russia to inform him: The negotiator of the Ming Empire had arrived and wanted to negotiate, so he immediately went to Wushan City to discuss. If he didn't want to negotiate, he would forget it.

This is actually part of the battle against the heart. This implies that the Ming Empire did not want much peace talks, but instead tended to fight!

Sure enough, this simple move scared the great powers. On the third day, Tsarist Russia sent someone to hurriedly inform that the peace talks representatives from various countries were on the way, please wait for two days.

You should know that Wushan is not close to the Russian emperors. Even if they are fast and running day and night, it will take at least two days and two nights to go back and forth. The ability of Tsarist Russia to respond so quickly is enough to prove that they are really scared. For fear of negligence, the Ming army rushed over at all costs!

The following powers were really anxious. Zheng Zhilong was sitting leisurely in the Governor's Mansion in Wushan City, but the negotiators of the powers were rushing here in a carriage, and the bones were almost dispersed.

Two days later, the negotiators of the great powers arrived on time. The group and the translator were less than twenty. They were very bachelors. They didn't bring a single guard and ran over with their bare butts. Anyway, no matter how many people they brought, they were not as crowded as the Ming Empire, so it would be better not to bring them.

The Ming Empire has a very good reputation and is treated with great courtesy to the envoys of the enemy country, so they don’t have to worry about security at all.

However, before they arrived at Wushan City, their hearts were suffocated, because halfway through the way, they found that the road leading to Wushan City had been widened by the Ming army. This must be to facilitate the passage of the army. It seems that the Ming Empire is really going to fight!

As soon as they arrived at Wushan City, they were startled by the majestic city wall. The Ming Empire was really terrifying. It took a moment to build such a city wall that could not be seen at a glance. Should it be so fast?

As soon as they entered the city gate, they were so scared that their calves were trembling. The weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire were too exaggerated. Both sides of the road were full of steel monsters and scary artillery. There were various types of artillery behind them. You could even see the hills made of shells and powder barrels in the distance, which were endless and there was no limit at all!

When they entered the negotiation room, their faces turned pale. The opposite side was full of black Chong's clothes. The four in the middle were generals wearing marshal's uniforms, and the twelve left and right were all with the rank of generals. How many troops were transferred to the Ming Empire!

At this time, someone finally saw the map on the wall. Soon, all the negotiators were hinted and glanced at it. This time, it almost scared some people to pee their pants.

It was a combat map, and the main body of the map was continental. A large number of dense arrows pointed directly from the Wushan Mountains to the continental countries. The meaning was very obvious. The Ming Empire planned to beat up with all the great powers together!
