Mattus only brought four guards and stepped into the last defense zone of the Ming army with Lin Shu these days, which he had not conquered countless people.

Yu Rongguang stood at the city gate and smiled and welcomed his opponent who had been beaten to death a few days ago. To be honest, Mattus dared to bring all four of them here, so that Yu Rongguang would admire him. He didn't necessarily have the courage to be in a relocation.

"I have long admired the name of the Grand Duke. When I see you today, I am indeed worthy of your reputation." Yu Rongguang said with his fists.

After listening to Lin Shu's translation, Mattus shook his head and said, "You must come at the end of the road. There is nothing you can admire."

"Some of our knowledge is extraordinary." Yu Rongguang said solemnly here: "Duke don't worry, no matter what the final result of our negotiations, the Duke will leave here safely. If the negotiations are reached, then everything will be fine. If the negotiations are not done well, then we will set off the carriage and fight."

Mattus nodded: "I have seen the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Such a country with outstanding strength will not do anything stingy."

"Grand Duke, please." Yu Rongguang turned sideways and gave in.

Mattus walked inward with great strides. When he passed the dark gate, he reached out and knocked. The sound of gold and iron came. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Ming Dynasty is indeed extremely rich. A city gate was actually cast with steel."

"Steel casting is just a little Doyle in my Ming Dynasty!" Yu Rongguang and Mattus walked side by side, "In order to convey goodwill to the Grand Duke, the city gate will not be closed when the Grand Duke is here."

"Aren't you afraid of my army's sneak attack?" Mattus was stunned.

"Don't worry." Yu Rongguang said lightly: "The Grand Duke is the best guarantee for me. If your army really attacks, the Grand Duke will definitely not survive. If the Grand Duke cannot even control his own army, then our negotiations will have no meaning, because we will deeply doubt your ability. This is very important for our future cooperation. A Grand Duke who is incapable, our Ming Dynasty will disdain to cooperate with it."

Mattus laughed: "You Ming people's ideas are indeed very novel."

While speaking, the group had arrived at the tall building that Mattus looked up to many times. In fact, the building was only only seven floors. Of course, the seven-story building was definitely tall in this era.

Stepping into a spacious conference room specially arranged by Rongguang, through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Mattus could clearly see the port, see the warships trapped in the port, and also see the Ming warships traveling outside the sea.

Holding the bright red wine, Mattus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and couldn't help but feel emotion. More than ten days ago, he led his troops to come to the enemy's territory, but now he has to hide the humiliation in his heart and come to the enemy's territory to discuss with his opponent how to survive.

"What we like most about Tiger Dynasty are stupid opponents. Why do you hope that your enemies are smart?" Mattus took a sip of wine and looked at Yu Rongguang, who was also holding a glass beside him in confusion.

"Because we are different from the Tiger Dynasty!" Yu Rongguang smiled and said, "Dagong, you use force as a weapon to conquer the enemy. I hope that wherever your iron hooves go, everyone will be lying at your feet and become your slaves, but we are not interested in this. We hope to obtain greater benefits through cooperation. The Western Continent is too far away for us. We have no interest in going where you will fight to death, because in this way, for us, what we lose is far less than what we get. But if we cooperate, we can gain more."

Mattus was surprised when he heard such a theory for the first time, "What is this statement?"

Yu Rongguang laughed and said, "Duke, what are you here for?"

Mattus thought for a while and honestly said: "Wealth."

"Yes, wealth." Yu Rongguang said: "But wealth does not necessarily require war, and trade can also be obtained, right? In fact, we have always done this before."

Mattus couldn't help but feel silent.

"Since we can get the wealth we want, why do we have to use war to obtain it? Think about it, we mobilize countless armies and countless warships to travel thousands of miles to you. Let's not talk about whether we can win. Even if we win, can we gain a foothold in you? Grand Duke, will you be convinced by those from all over you?"

"I don't think so." Mattus nodded and said, "We will definitely think about driving you away."

"That's the reason!" Yu Rongguang said: "Since that's the case, why do we have to do these thankless things? Isn't it good for both parties to do business in a harmonious manner? Grand Duke, please sit down."

Mattus sat down and looked at Yu Rongguang: "His Majesty Danci, have you really lost?"

Yu Rongguang nodded: "When my envoy went to see the Grand Duke, I had received the latest news that your Majesty Dansi's hundreds of warships had been defeated by our Emperor in the waters of Manila. His navy was completely destroyed. Dansi led less than 30,000 remaining troops to board the land of Manila, and is now surrounded by our army. In other words, His Majesty Dansi is at the end of his journey."

Mattus was shocked and said after a while: "If His Majesty Danci was also facing the same dilemma as me, why don't you negotiate with His Majesty Danci? I think if His Majesty Danci surrendered to you, with a command, we will naturally surrender to you."

Yu Rongguang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Dansi is not our negotiating target. We can make a fuss with you, and you can negotiate with Stenson, but we just won't negotiate with Dance."

Mattus chewed Yu Rongguang's words carefully. As an old politician and senior general, it didn't take long for him to understand the hidden meaning of the other party's ordinary words.

"So you don't want to see a unified tiger dynasty." He took a deep breath.

"Grand Duke sees it clearly!" Yu Rongguang smiled and said, "It is the reason why people don't say secret words. Danxi will definitely die this time. After his death, his son will not be able to control a huge place like the Western Continent. I think, like Grand Duke, you are all fierce tigers that are proud of the world. How could you be hiding at the feet of a sheep?"

"The Tiger Dynasty splits, and they may fight each other to the death. You can take the opportunity to make profits. This is your ultimate goal?" Mattus' tone suddenly became stern.

Yu Rongguang smiled slightly: "Duke, we don't care whether you are fighting to death or not. We don't care whether you will still maintain a unified tiger dynasty. What we want is that you will not organize an army to run to our territory as we do now. We hope that everyone will do business in a harmonious manner."

Mattus raised his neck and drank the red wine in his cup. He knew in his heart that if Dance was really dead and people like himself and Stenson returned safely, the Tiger Dynasty would definitely not be maintained under the banner of unity, and it would be inevitable that the Ming people would see such a situation.

No wonder the Ming people would negotiate with themselves. If people like themselves, Stenson, died here, the Tiger Dynasty would calm down, because the people in the Western Continent would feel fear. Their most wise kings and the most divine and powerful generals were all destroyed by distant kingdoms. Because of fear, they would hug them tightly to resist the possible revenge of this distant country.

In other words, what the Ming people wanted to see was a split Western continent, rather than a unified tiger dynasty.

If you think it through and see it clearly, so what? Can you refuse? Do you have the attitude of dying for the unification of the Tiger Dynasty? Even if you have it, does Stenson have it? Do you have some other great masters in the army have it? The Ming people can come to negotiate with them, and of course they can also talk to Stenson, and talk to other people who have less influence than the two of them. They will always find ideal partners.

"Don't you like to solve problems with war?" Mattus smiled bitterly and knocked on the table, saying, "This place, as far as I know, does not seem to belong to you, right? But now, your flags are now hung here and your army is stationed."

Yu Rongguang said: "This place is very close to us. There is a saying here, "It is called lying beside a couch, how can others sleep soundly? If we don't come, your Tiger Dynasty will come to the east this time and will occupy it. For us, a country that is determined to do business, it is equivalent to being strangled and breathing is difficult, so we naturally have to take control of ourselves. In the Western Continent, we have no interest. You are just our partners in the future doing business."

"Aren't you afraid that I will become the second Dance after I go back?" asked Mattus.

Yu Rongguang shook his head and said, "There is only one such person. I don't know how many years will one appear? Grand Duke, please forgive me for yourselves. There is still a big gap between you and His Majesty Danci. As far as we know, Grand Duke, you are not very popular in the Tiger Dynasty. At least Grand Duke Stenson is much better than you."

Mattus exhaled a heavy breath. He did not refute Yu Rongguang's words. In the Tiger Dynasty, Stenson's strength and popularity were indeed much stronger than him. He has always existed as Stenson's opponent. This is also one of the means of checks and balances by His Majesty Dancy. Since the Ming people can negotiate with him, they will naturally be able to negotiate with Stenson. Once Stenson and the Ming people reach an agreement and return to the Western Continent in the future, then their territory and family will probably become the other party's first target to establish authority.

He put the wine glass on the table, "Can you add another glass of wine?"

Yu Rongguang smiled and picked up the wine bottle himself.
