Chapter 590
The appearance of Shaoyan Mingguang directly disrupted Xiao Chen's plan. He had already thought about how to deal with the Japanese envoy, but he never expected to face this person who could make decisions directly.
It seems that Shaoyan Mingguang also knows the urgency of the matter, so he came to meet Xiao Chen in person, which can save a lot of time.
"Who will be the coach of your Da Zhou side?" Shaoyan Mingguang went straight to the point without saying a word of nonsense.
"It's Jiangdong King Li Shi." Xiao Chen answered happily.
"Prince Li Shi doesn't understand water warfare, right?" Shaoyan Mingguang frowned, apparently guessing Xiao Chen's intentions.
Sending a person with a higher status than yourself means that you want to be the commander-in-chief.
"Mr. Shaoyan, please trust us. This is a very important matter. We attach great importance to it. We will never play tricks. Lord Li Shiwang is the coach and is in charge of the general command. There are also some generals who are proficient in water warfare who will give him operational advice. And our Prince Li Shi is a very responsible person." Xiao Chen said.
"It would be great if this is the case, then I will be in charge of leading our fleet... Xiao Chenjun, will you also join the battle?" Shaoyan Mingguang said.
"I haven't thought about it yet, after all, this place is also very important." Xiao Chen said.
"That's right." Shaoyan Mingguang nodded.
"Mr. Shaoyan, I'm worried about something..." Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chenjun is worried that the Ross people will send a fleet to support, right? I have already made arrangements. Now the third fleet of our Dongying Navy is conducting actual combat exercises in the northern high seas. It is currently blocked..." Shaoyan Mingguang said.

"Oh, Mr. Shaoyan is really a brilliant military strategist." Xiao Chen was overjoyed.
"Xiao Chenjun, I think you are the most brilliant." A melancholy smile appeared on the corner of Shaoyan Mingguang's mouth.
"Don't dare, I'm just a brat who dares to think and do things...Mr. Shaoyan, I won't participate in the specific battle plan. I think I might trouble you to go to Fengyang City. See you, our emperor." You must be very happy to see me, can I discuss it with our Prince Li Shi in detail?" Xiao Chen never pretends to be smart.
"Okay, this is also my plan. My main purpose of coming here is to meet Xiao Chenjun. I think we may have a lot of cooperation in the future, right?" Shaoyan Mingguang said.
"Of course, in fact, I think the cooperation between me and you will be very pleasant." Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yes, I think so too." Shaoyan Mingguang nodded but shook his head again, "But in our place, many people don't think so, and I don't need to tell Xiao Chenjun about those stupid ideas, just Please understand my situation because I feel like our situation is very, very similar."
Xiao Chen didn't understand Shaoyan Mingguang's situation, but he understood his own situation quite well, it must be completely different from him, but he just smiled.
"The Ross cavalry are also very powerful. Xiao Chenjun, are you sure you can defeat them?" Shaoyan Mingguang hesitated slightly and asked.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose!" Xiao Chen said.
"If you need help Xiao Chenjun..." Mingguang Shaoyan paused deliberately.
"No need, Mr. Shaoyan, please believe me." Xiao Chen directly refused without waiting for him to say it.
What Shaoyan Mingguang meant was to send some army troops over, this was absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Chen, it was also a matter of principle that Chen Jisheng said!
"Then if you fight on land, please leave everything to me." Shaoyan Mingguang nodded, "I'm going to Fengyang City now, and I have to ask Xiao Chenjun to send me. If my expectations are not bad, Shunfeng Harbor is already Is it a state of siege?"
"Why are you in a hurry?" Xiao Chen said, "Why should I treat Mr. Shaoyan well, and do my best as a landlord."
"After we capture Shunfeng Harbor, I will definitely get drunk with you, Xiao Chenjun." Shaoyan Mingguang said.
It seems that Shaoyan Mingguang only cares about this battle, and other additional conditions are discussed by those few. In this case, Xiao Chen didn't want to keep him, and immediately sent Ye Baiqing to send him away in person. This is definitely not possible to send troops to escort him. He left quietly, without making any noise.
The three of them, Kudo Nako, didn't leave, and Miyamoto Gozo and Kinoshita Yoshiro even said that they would fight with Xiao Chen...
In fact, there is no need, we have plenty of people, but we are not short of you two.
Let's get down to business.
This is the official negotiation. Xiao Chen, Ye Baiqing, and Liu Congshu all attended the meeting. Because Kudo Nako is a woman, Xiao Chen also invited Liu Xiangqin.
Chen Jisheng did not come forward, because this was only the first negotiation, and there would be no results. When the two sides were almost done discussing, he would have time to come out and make a final decision.
In Japan, Kinoshita Yoshiro mainly came to talk. His identity is the chief envoy of the Foreign Minister of Japan. Miyamoto Gozo did not reveal his identity from beginning to end. very respectful...
This is not important, what is important is the 'cooperation' matter proposed by Yoshiro Kinoshita.
The main thing is business cooperation. Dongying first hopes that Shunfeng Port can be completely opened to them, and allow Dongying's cargo ships, passenger ships, fishing boats, and even warships to berth at the port.
In addition, they now need a lot of coal and a lot of war horses, the more the better.
But because their current domestic economic situation is not very good, they 'requested' Xiao Chen to consider giving them credit.
It is possible to sign a repayment agreement and pay it off in three to five years. Of course, it would be even better if Xiao Chen could exempt them from interest.
In addition, the more food and various agricultural products, the better. Of course, we also know the situation of your Dazhou, especially Yanyun County. At present, there may not be much food.
But we can sign a long-term agreement. In the future, if your Yanyun County produces a large amount of grain, it will be sold to us first.
Other materials such as cotton, cotton cloth, silk, porcelain, cattle and sheep, leather, tea, wood, medicinal materials, various tools, etc. are all urgently needed by them.
For these things, it is best to partly owe them on credit and partly in cash, or we can exchange them with a large number of sea fish and other our specialties.
By the way, they have a fart specialty?
But their fishing industry is indeed very developed...
Kinoshita Yoshiro also proposed to cooperate with Xiao Chen to jointly open some factories in Yanyun County, including but not limited to coal factories, mining factories, steel factories, and woodworking factories.
It is said to be a joint factory, but in fact, they want to participate in the development of coal mines, iron mines and logging in Yanyun County!
The demands started to get more and more excessive.
This guy is really a good negotiator, he knows what to say and how to proceed step by step.
Seeing Xiao Chen and the others listening intently with calm expressions, they thought that these were acceptable to them, so they began to push forward...
