Chapter 1061
After discussing with the ministers, Wang Baimang of Dongsuo decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty first in exchange for peace on the border.
Although Zhou State and England supported Dongyu to fight against the Ming Dynasty, they were always behind when they really fought, and the Dongyu people would face the guns of the Ming Dynasty directly, and the Dongyu people were the Dongyu people, so it would be better not to fight this battle.
In addition, after Touo formed an alliance with Zhou and England, the two countries often interfered in Touo's internal affairs, which made Bai Mang a little dissatisfied.
He was unwilling to join the new tribute system of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't want anyone to interfere and wanted to maintain Dongyu's independence, but now Dongyu was interfered by Zhou State.
In Dongxu, many ministers learned that the Ming Dynasty wanted to negotiate and most of them supported the negotiations. Only Zhou Ambassador to Dongxu Doni clamored to make the Ming army look good and to let hundreds of thousands of Ming troops be buried in Dongxu, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall into the quagmire of war.
Bai Mang asked Manggan to reply to the governor of the Ming Dynasty and could negotiate at the border.
Doni, who was in Ava, got news from it without knowing that he broke into the palace with great momentum and interrupted Bai Mang to have fun drinking.
"King Dongyu, what about I heard that Dongyu is going to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?" Doni asked directly.
The remnants of the Qing Dynasty were almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Tongguan, and only a few people including Doni were able to save their lives because they remained in the rear.
As the son of Duodor, Doni hated the Ming Dynasty and Zhao Ming very much, and he would never allow Dongxu to make peace with the Ming Dynasty behind the Zhou Dynasty.
Bai Mang's heart was shaking, thinking how did Doni know about the peace talks? It seemed that Zhou had already penetrated his Dongyu Kingdom.
This made Bai Mang very dissatisfied, but he smiled on his face and said, "Where did the envoy hear the news? How could this king negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?"
Doni had a gloomy face, "Dongyu signed an alliance treaty with the Great Zhou. King Dongyu must not do anything stupid behind the Great Zhou back!"
Bai Mang felt the threat of Doni, his face darkened and said coldly: "Go down, I know, I still have affairs to do!"
The palace guards immediately stepped forward, and Doni had to leave the hall when he saw this.
Bai Mang drove away the beauty in his arms and called his confidant, "Tell Manggan, hurry up and determine the location and be more secret."
After replying from Dongxu, both sides quickly agreed on the time and place.
Ten days later, Bai Mang secretly came to the border between Ming and Myanmar with his army. A small village outside the Tengchong Guard of Yongchang Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Chen Mingxia, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Zhiwei, the governor of Yunnan, also led ten guards to arrive.
The village is a village of a toast on the border, which is related to both sides and ensures safety from the beginning.
At this time, two waves of people met in the village. Yang Zhiwei saw Manggan, the minister of Dongxu from afar, and laughed and said, "Mr. Manggan, I haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't you come here!"
Manggan also smiled, "Thank you Zhongcheng's blessing, it's very good."
Yang Zhiwei immediately introduced: "This is Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites from Nanjing, who is responsible for this negotiation."
Manggan smiled and saluted, but Chen Mingxia showed off her elegance of an angel in the Celestial Kingdom. She raised her head, looked at people with nostrils, and said coldly: "Since you are here, let's start talking!"
This made Manggan and the Dongyu King Baimang, who was pretending to be a guard behind him, look dark and feel a little unhappy.
However, Chen Mingxia made them disgusted with her expression and attitude, but instead felt that she had a taste of it and was a minister of the Celestial Empire.
"Haha~" Yang Zhiwei hurriedly beat him up and said with a smile: "Let's talk inside."
Both sides entered the village and sat opposite each other in front of the table. Chen Mingxia slapped the table and said furiously: "Dongxu's small country was disrespectful to the Celestial Empire first, and then sent troops across the border to kill our Celestial Empire's people. Have you ever known the crime?"
Behind Mang Gan, Bai Mang's face immediately became gloomy, but he was just a guard now, so he couldn't respond directly.
Manggan glanced behind him and said in a deep voice: "This time it was Daming who asked me to negotiate with me. We are willing to come, but we are not reprimanded by Daming."
Yang Zhiwei hurriedly agreed and smoothed out, "Yes, yes! Our purpose this time is to resolve the dispute and hope for peace on the border."
Manggan said coldly: "But we can't see the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty's peace talks."
Chen Mingxia raised his eyebrows, "The court sent my official to come, what else do you have to say? Do you want the court to send troops to come?"
Mang Gan stood up angrily and said to Yang Zhiwei: "Yang Zhongcheng, you can't talk about this, say goodbye!"
Chen Mingxia slapped the table and said, "Okay, then wait for the imperial court to send troops!"
Yang Zhiwei hurriedly grabbed Manggan and comforted Chen Mingxia and said, "Don't be so angry, let's talk about our own conditions."
Yang Zhiwei said a lot of good things in the middle, and both sides took a new seat, Chen Mingxia turned her head and stopped talking.
Manggan looked at Bai Mang and said, "Peace talks are OK. The Ming Dynasty must stop building roads and building piers on the border, and the border troops retreat fifty miles away. In addition, it is not allowed to continue to send troops to Siam and send armour. Only in this way can Dongyu feel the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty and maintain the status quo on the border, so that Dongyu cannot feel the threat of the Ming Dynasty."
After Manggan finished speaking, Yang Zhiwei looked at Chen Mingxia and called softly: "Shilar Chen!"
Chen Mingxia then said in a deep voice: "These Ming Dynasty can agree, but Dongxu must resign to the Ming Dynasty and apologize to the Ming Dynasty for crossing the border to kill the Ming people."
After hearing this, Bai Mang, who was disguised as a guard, showed a sarcastic smile. Mingren was indeed very proud of his face. He was so fierce just now, but in the end he just wanted Dongxu to give them a face and give them a way out.
The ability of the Celestial Kingdom to hold funerals made Bai Mang feel disdainful, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he gave Manggan a wink.
"Okay, Dongxu can agree!" Manggan immediately smiled.
Both sides talked about their demands, and the atmosphere was not so tense, and the subsequent negotiations suddenly became very smooth.
Soon the two sides reached a preliminary consensus, and a banquet was held in the village and formal negotiations were held at an agreed time.
After the preliminary negotiations were over, Bai Mang returned to Awa, waiting for the Ming Dynasty's negotiator to send the conditions to Nanjing. After receiving the formal reply, he signed a settlement agreement with the Ming Dynasty.
This talk made Bai Mang very satisfied. It was basically certain that the Ming Dynasty wanted to save face. As long as Dongxu verbally surrendered, he would not attack Dongxu.
This made Bai Mang feel very good. The big stone that was pressing on his heart finally moved away, and he immediately held a big banquet in the palace and started to enjoy himself.
Bai Mang was indulging in the fun of the ministers, and Doni rushed in again and asked directly: "King Dongyu, I heard that you have negotiated with the Ming Dynasty in private."
Bai Mang's face darkened. He didn't expect to agree to Zhou State to send an ambassador to Dongxu. This ambassador became Dongxu's emperor. He had to intervene in everything and take care of everything.
"This is a rumor. Is someone trying to instigate us? Is the ambassador believe it?" Bai Mang said in a deep voice.
Doni sneered, "King Dong-soo, Zhao Ming, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, is full of tricks and cunning, and is used to using the tricks of beating the east and the west. I know that you are negotiating with the Ming Dynasty, but don't be too stupid. If you are caught in the tricks of the Ming Dynasty, you will relax your vigilance."
Bai Mang was furious when he heard the words, "Guard, insert him out for me!"
Kunming, Yunnan, Governor's Office.
Yang Zhiwei and Chen Mingxia sat in the study.
Yang Zhiwei said: "I don't know that Dongyu believes we don't?"
Chen Mingxia picked up the teacup, took a sip, first exclaiming that Yunnan’s tea is not inferior to Jiangnan, and then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Yang Zhongcheng, look at Bai Mang’s expression, he must believe it.”
Yang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is talking about that guard!"
Chen Mingxia nodded, put down the teacup, and then said, "This is done, so I will leave it to Yang Zhongcheng for the aftermath. Today I will set off for Guangzhou to meet with the Regent and report on the negotiations."
