After dawn, the mission entered Axu Bay by boat again.It was still Zongxiongta, the owner of the Busan Japanese Museum, who greeted them on the pier, but compared with the day before when they met, Zongxiongtai’s face was unconcealably tired, and the bloodshot eyes proved that he probably didn’t get along very well last night. pass the eye.The dazzling gold ornaments on his body were also gone. I don't know if he was deliberately keeping a low profile, or he was confused and forgot to put them on.
Seeing Zong Xiongtai's appearance, Wen Zhihong was quite proud.He has fought with Zong Xiongtai for many years, and he has fought overtly and secretly many times, and it is rare that he can completely suppress the other party.But now the other party's attitude is obviously much more humble than usual, and it is finally clear who is strong and who is weak.
Of course, Wen Zhihong now has the upper hand, not because he is much better than Zong Xiong, but because he is playing tricks with the arrival of the Haihan Mission.
Later in Jinshi City, I saw the feudal lord Zong Yizhen, and his state was almost the same as Zong Xiongtai, far less energetic than when we met yesterday.
However, Shi Chengwu and Tao Hongfang both keenly noticed that many of the retainers and cronies who participated in the negotiation with Zong Yizhen yesterday, many of them did not appear in today's venue.
Tao Hongfang tilted his head slightly, and said to Shi Chengwu in a low voice: "It seems that today is a Hongmen banquet, or some people were liquidated overnight."
Shi Chengwu smiled and said: "We will know the truth soon."
After Shi Chengwu finished speaking, he subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist.This seven-shot semi-automatic pistol is a new type of pistol produced by the Haihan Ordnance Research Institute in the past two years. It uses a single-row magazine to feed the ammunition. Its combat performance and reliability are far superior to those used by officers and armed forces. Police revolver.However, due to its complicated process and high production cost, mass production cannot be achieved at present, and only a few special characters are equipped with this new pistol.
The executive committee has long stipulated that, without exception, the children of the second generation will receive a certain degree of military training when they become adults, which includes the use of self-defense weapons such as pistols.Shi Chengwu, Tao Hongfang, and Ning Zijing, who participated in the negotiations, all carried pistols, so that if something happened, they would at least have the strength to fight.
They had already discussed the possible risks last night. Once the opponent wanted to turn his back on the spot, the first priority was to control the enemy chieftain and release the signal flare before seeking escape.There are two companies of elite infantry on the battleship moored in the port, and even prepared several light field guns for easy maneuvering, ready to land and fight at any time.
Of course, the possibility of such an extreme situation happening is extremely slim, and Tsushima Fan has no tradition of using force to solve problems in history.Moreover, the strengths of the two sides are very different. Even if they fight Ma Fan desperately, there is absolutely no hope of turning the tables. On the contrary, they will accelerate their own destruction. It is really impossible for Zong Yi not to understand this situation.
However, after Zong Yizhen spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "About yesterday's discussion, there are two requirements for the Ma Fan. First, there needs to be a buffer to change the special status of the Fan in the Asahi-Japanese trade." In the short term, many industries in this domain can have time to make adjustments. Second, Haihan Kingdom needs to come up with a feasible plan to ensure the commercial interests of this domain after changing the way of trade."
After one night, Zong Yizhen's attitude took a big turn. He offered the terms of cooperation so readily, which really exceeded everyone's expectations.They originally thought that they would at least have to push and pull back and forth today, and even exert more pressure, in order to force Zong Yizhen to make concessions.Even an extreme situation with a very low probability of turning around and fighting is within their expectations, but they absolutely did not expect things to go this way.
Tao Hongfang's reaction was quick, fearing that Zongyi would regret it, he responded immediately: "These two requests made by the feudal lord are reasonable, and I think they can be discussed slowly. As long as the general direction is settled, These trivial issues will not affect our future cooperation."
As Tao Hongfang said, after the general direction is set, the negotiation process will be significantly accelerated.The North Korean side did not expect Tsushima Fan to immediately give up its trade privileges. It would be a surprise if Zongyi really let go. much request.
Zong Yizhen proposed a buffer period of five years, and after some negotiations, it was finally set to three years, starting from the next year.The Tsushima Domain will give up part of its original exclusive trade share year by year, and completely abandon the old trade model by the end of the third year.
In exchange, Haihan and North Korea will provide Tsushima Fan with a series of support measures, including the establishment of commercial institutions in the major coastal trading ports of the two countries, the authority to engage in trading activities, and various commercial services provided by Haihan. information.
"There is still one thing I don't understand, can you please clear up your doubts?" At noon, the negotiation was suspended, but Zong Yizhen asked Tao Hongfang a question: "What benefits can Haihan get from this transaction?"
This is a problem that has been troubling Zong Yizhen ever since Zong Xiongtai brought back the news.He didn't quite understand why Hai Han wanted to promote this matter. If it was just to help the North Koreans, it would be too much effort.
Tao Hongfang naturally would not admit that this was one of the terms of exchange for North Korea to allow Haihan to demarcate an exclusive economic zone in Busan, but explained from a different angle: "The old trade method has seriously hindered the development of cross-border trade in this region. Only by making changes can we continue to increase the scale of trade, and all participants, including our three parties, will be beneficiaries. The funds, manpower, and experience of Tsushima will all become part of this trade system in the future. We are sure that this will bring considerable benefits. long-term benefits that have been well documented over the past 20+ years.”
Zongyi Shin said: "Perhaps one day, the Tsushima Fan will also become your evidence to persuade other people."
Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "It doesn't take long. We will visit the major trading ports in your country next, and we will use this successful cooperation as an external publicity."
Zong Yizhen continued to ask: "If you want to quickly learn from your country's trade experience, do you have any good suggestions?"
Tao Hongfang said with a smile: "It's very simple. Tsushima Fan can select some outstanding talents by himself and travel to various trading ports in Haihan. Or join the shipping company of Haihan to learn professional knowledge. If this is not enough, then you can Go to Sanya, the capital of our country, for further study, where there are academies specializing in economics and business, which treat students from all countries equally."
