In the city of Sunmartin, in the king's meeting hall.

King Sun Martin was wearing a jet black white shirt, a pair of wrinkled breeches, and a messy short hair, sitting feebly in his seat.

Under the gaze of a group of subordinates with equally miserable images, Sun Martin took a few deep breaths, raised his head and asked them:

"How is the situation today? Has Ming continued its shelling?"

A general immediately said:

"Not at the moment. The other side has not fired any artillery today. Maybe the supply of artillery shells is insufficient."

Sun Martin seemed slightly relieved:

"We also don't have many artillery shells. Did Ming's Yin troops launch an attack?"

The general immediately replied:

"No, Ming Dynasty did not send out troops to test today, but was building their defense line."

Sun Martin was a little surprised:

"Building a defense line? Are the Ming people planning to besiege us for a long time?

"We have a large amount of developed farmland behind us, and it is useless to besiege us...

"By the way, have the number of tanks on the battlefield increased?"

Another general said:

"No, Ming Dynasty is building a defense line right now and there is no sign of mobilizing troops to attack.

"It cannot be observed from farther away. I wonder if Ming Dynasty has made other preparations in the rear."

When Sun Martin was guessing what Daming was going to do, a guard ran in quickly:

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has sent an envoy to see you, saying that he has brought a message from His Highness Prince Dashi, the Governor of Yinzhou in the Ming Dynasty."

The surrounding officials and generals were stunned for a moment, and then many of their faces showed joy.

"Is Daming finally willing to negotiate with us again?"

"The Ming Dynasty should be willing to give us orders again!"

"Your Majesty, we finally see hope of victory."

"Da Ming also realized that this kind of place is difficult to break."

"Although they have tanks and planes, it's difficult to gather them here and use them. The fuel supply is simply not available..."

Sun Martin also naturally felt that Ming Dynasty was willing to negotiate peace.

As long as a relatively independent country can be retained, Sun Martin can accept even if it is only the remaining land.

Sun Martin was obviously relieved:

"Please invite the messenger in quickly..."

An officer in his forties, Zhu Jianxuan, the warden of the Xintianfu Southern Bandit Suppression Headquarters, was escorted by four Ming soldiers and led by Sun Martin's guards, and walked into Sun Martin's meeting hall.

The five Ming people took a step into the door, then stopped, and then took two steps back.

In a state of war, in the tropics, a group of Thai and Western men did not take a shower for an unknown number of days.

Now this hall is almost like a gas chamber to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jianxuan stood at the door of the hall and said to the guard:

"Let your Majesty come to the door to talk. This place is more spacious and the air is better..."

The guard soon realized why the Ming officer didn't go in.

I felt that this Ming officer was really too polite and didn't directly scold this place like a pig's nest.

The guard immediately ran over and told Sun Martin.

Sun Martin also immediately realized that his current image is really sloppy.

But now I don’t care so much anymore, I can’t let the other person wait for me to take a shower and change clothes.

So he accepted Zhu Jianxuan's suggestion and went to the door with several officials and generals.

Just under the porch of the hall, the two parties stood more than two meters apart and greeted each other with arms raised.

Zhu Jianxuan took two pieces of paper from the document bag and asked the guard to pass them to Sun Martin.

Sun Martin looked at the first picture, his eyes widened immediately, and he muttered in a sad tone:

"O'Higgins' letter... He also surrendered... He gave up our ideals..."

The generals and officials around Sun Martin were silent.

There is nothing to say about this matter. Under the continuous siege of the Ming army, too many companions surrendered.

Not to mention independent warlords like O'Higgins, many of the subordinates led by Martin Sun surrendered and ran away.

The key is his surrender and what conditions he got in exchange for it, which can serve as a reference for himself.

Therefore, these officials and generals subconsciously looked at the details on the paper in Sun Martin's hand.

Martin Sun stayed there for a while, then suddenly sighed and picked up the second piece of paper.

Sun Martin and the officers and generals around him saw the above content.

Then a chorus of suppressed and painful exclamations sounded one after another.

"I can only go to Dongyi Kingdom with assets worth ten thousand silver coins..."

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, without any title or good treatment.

"Your Majesty is just an ordinary person after you go..."

"We...all have to work as laborers."

"That's the control of reeducation through labor, which is equivalent to criminals!"

"This is unacceptable! Otherwise, what have we done all these years!"

Sun Martin quickly collected himself and looked at Zhu Jianxuan opposite:

"I can be loyal to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and I can be loyal to the king of any vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

"I only hope that my subordinates and people can live as free people in our homeland."

Zhu Jianxuan looked at Sun Martin with a calm expression. He hesitated several times and finally just handed over his hand:

"My message has been sent, and I already know what you mean, so I'll take my leave now."

As Zhu Jianxuan said this, he turned around and led the soldiers out.

The off-road vehicle he took when he arrived was not far away, and he could just get in the vehicle and drive back directly.

Sun Martin was a little confused and confused. What did this Ming officer mean?

Do you want to take your words back and ask His Highness Prince Dashi what you mean?

It sounds, and when you think about it, this seems to be the case.

But it’s a bit unexpected. As a negotiator, shouldn’t you bargain with yourself?

We should talk about a key node and then go back and ask the senior management for instructions.

Seeing that the other party's military rank is Major General of the Ming Dynasty, this status is already very high, and there should be no room for negotiation.

Moreover, this scene in front of him, especially this feeling, left a vague impression on Sun Martin.

A feeling of uneasiness and panic deep inside spread unconsciously.

Sun Martin chased forward almost instinctively:

"General, move slowly. General, wait a moment. What do you mean?

"Do you want to take my request back to His Highness Prince Dashi?"

Zhu Jianxuan was helpless and struggled to ask:

"What do you want? Why should I bring your meaningless nonsense back to His Highness Prince Dashi?

"My mission has been completed, now I'm just going back to resume my life..."

Sun Martin basically understood what was going on, his expression and tone were full of despair:

"Aren't you here to negotiate? You have finished the negotiation now? So what is your... Daming's decision?"

Zhu Jianxuan asked naturally:

“When did I negotiate? What is negotiation?

"The purpose of my coming here is just to tell you what His Highness Prince Dashi means.

"Then I will convey your response back, that's all.

"I don't have any other responsibilities..."

Sun Martin felt that the way this Ming officer spoke was very uncomfortable.
