Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 754 Jinghua Sixteen Articles

Mo Maoqia, the governor of Annan, is destined to go down in history.But it is obviously not because he "led the just battle to put down Li Ni and Zheng Ni", but because he signed a cooperation treaty yesterday.

Of course, "understanding the righteousness" is just an evaluation given by Gao Pragmatism. In fact, for Annan—or "Da Viet", this treaty can be simplified into two words: traitorous.

Gao Wushi named this treaty "Jinghua Group and the Annan Metropolitan Division Friendship, Mutual Assistance and Comprehensive Cooperation Treaty".

The words used seem to be quite polite, and it is "friendly and mutual assistance" and "comprehensive cooperation", which seems to be true.

However, this can’t change the essence—even the “Jinghua Group” was blatantly placed in front of the “Annan Metropolitan Division”—excuse me, Jinghua Group is a first-rank institution in Daming, but it is actually placed in my second-rank Dutong Secretary went to the front?
Of course, Mo Maoqia definitely didn't have the guts to ask. Since then, no one in Annan dared to ask.

The "Comprehensive Cooperation Treaty" that Gao Pragmatically said, since Mo Maoqia was forced to sign it yesterday, has been known to all the officials in Shenglong City, and even many people among the people have heard it and said a few words.

They simply called this "Comprehensive Cooperation Treaty" the "Jinghua Sixteen Points", and they were full of hatred and indignation, but no one dared to speak out.

The terms of the "Jinghua Sixteen Articles" are as follows:

The Jinghua Group and the Annan Metropolitan Command are mutually willing to maintain the overall peace in the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, and expect to further consolidate the existing friendly relationship between the two parties. The following treaties are proposed to be signed:

If they are indeed involved in vicious cases such as murder, robbery, and adultery, the Metropolitan Office can collect evidence and request to establish a joint venture with the Jinghua Group. The investigation team and the joint trial court dealt with it, and the Annan Metropolitan Commander was not allowed to arrest, detain, or try him on his own.

Article [-]: Annan purchases a certain amount of ordnance from the Jinghua Group (for example, more than half of the ordnance required by the Annan Metropolitan Division), and at the same time allows the Jinghua Group to set up an ordnance factory in any place under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Government. This is to ensure the security of the Jinghua Group. The needs of Nanping and Jing are also the expectations of the Ming Empire. The Annan Metropolitan Commander and its people must not set up obstacles.

For cases involving Li Ni, Zheng Ni, and those attached to Ni, if the case has not been resolved or even discovered when this treaty is signed, after the discovery and trial are completed, all the stolen goods and fines will be confiscated as in the above example, by the Jinghua Group Full discretion.

Along with the signing of the "Jinghua Sixteen Articles", there is also a long detailed rules, which stipulates in detail the rights and responsibilities of both parties under each article.

There is no need to say more about the details, in short, just one sentence: the governor of Mo Maoqia can now "govern" from now on, because the political affairs have been determined by Jinghua!

Gao Pragmatism didn't decide such a big matter just by talking about it, he had Zhu Yijun's endorsement.

Before Zhu Yijun was urged by the cabinet to ask Gao Wushi to quickly report the actual situation of Annan and express his opinions on Annan's disposal. Gao Wushi proposed the plan of "keeping the name unchanged and secretly controlling". Make it into an organization similar to the various "East India Companies" of Westerners, and then Daming indirectly controls Annan through Jinghua Group.

Moreover, this control is not only about controlling its military affairs, but more ruthlessly controlling its economic lifeline—whether it is the economic foundation or the distribution of wealth, everything is in the hands of Jinghua.

Should Zhu Yijun worry about Jinghua losing control?
The key to this question is actually whether Zhu Yijun will worry about Gao Pragmatism getting out of control.

And Zhu Yijun is not very worried about this, because according to his mind, even if the whole of Annan is added together, there is no high pragmatism that is important to him. Besides, the foundation of high pragmatism is obviously in the Ming Dynasty. The connections and even the foundation of the industry are all in Daming.

Could it be that Gao Yushi will abandon all these foundations, and then go to Annan to become the "King of the Southern Barbarians"?
What a joke.

Zhu Yijun didn't believe that such a thing would happen. After all, he had clearly told Gao Wushi that he would be used as a minister in the future. Isn't the elder of Ming Dynasty more famous than a barbarian king in southern Xinjiang?
Moreover, in Zhu Yijun's view, since a war that actually opened up territory can be carried out so smoothly this time, then after he has more power in the future, he will definitely be able to make greater achievements. What about his reward as a marquis?

As long as the credit is great, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to be named a Marquis or even a Duke than to be an Annan barbarian king?

He believes that Gao Yushi will be able to figure out the reason for this.

Therefore, the imperial decree was issued: Annan should be dealt with after the war, and handed over to Guangxi Xunshi Gao Pragmatic and discretion.

And Gao Yushi also took the time very fast. The day after receiving the imperial decree, the "Jinghua Sixteen Articles" came out.
