Chapter 529 Dialogue among civilized people (first update, please subscribe)
Chapter 533 Let's Sign an Unequal Treaty
In fact, the artillery only blasted four or five rows.

Hundreds of native soldiers no longer had the courage to resist. When the land collapsed, even the Sultan and his soldiers became captives. As for the other natives, they escaped faster than rabbits.

After the shelling ended, more than two hundred armed sailors landed and directly occupied Klang City.

After the bombardment, the British in the port area were stunned by the boldness of the Ming people, and the British telegraph director immediately reported the news of the Ming fleet bombarding Klang to the Governor's Office of the Straits Settlements, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to raise the British flag. The Bureau is a British property.

Meanwhile, armed sailors had entered the city to maintain order.

Meng Qingen, the commander of the squadron, did not disembark, but instead sent Lieutenant Colonel Wang Dongli. He led a team of sailors to Haishantang and asked three questions.

"Are you all right?"

"How about the casualties?"

"What's next?"

Then he stared at Zhao Fuyong, and Zhao Fuyong replied directly.

"Since it is occupied, let's sign the treaty!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into Haishan Hall without hesitation, then he walked up to Tunku Gooding and said with a smile.

"Hello, venerable Sultan, now we can have a good talk!"

Have a good talk, is there such a talk?
Tunku Guding thought so in his heart, but he said it on his mouth.

"Honorable Special Envoy, no matter what request you have, I will agree, please don't hurt me."

Counseling is the law of survival for a small country. If he forgets this law, he will not survive until now. Facing the strong, the best choice is to stick to the bottom. Throughout the ages, what will happen to the top?
"Hurt? No, I won't hurt you! We are civilized people, and all I want is an opportunity for dialogue,...an opportunity for dialogue between civilized people! But what about you? How arrogantly did you refuse it? What about my request?"

Some people are just shameless, they don't know about negotiation until they are rubbed against the ground, but at this time, is there still a need for negotiation?

"Sir, it's all my fault, all my fault, sir."

Tunku Gooding is like a docile little sheep, where there is still domineering and arrogance before.

The subsequent negotiations were naturally extremely smooth. When Zhao Fuyong mentioned that the Chinese workers had caused a ten-year civil war due to their "provocation", Tunku Gooding also admitted them one by one. Under the power, pleading guilty is the best choice.

"Since you have admitted this, let's discuss how to ensure the protection of the local interests of the Ming people in the future. First, in order to ensure the safety of the Ming people, it is necessary to set up a Ming concession in Klang! Second! , in view of your officials’ extortion against the Ming people, it is necessary for the Ming people to have extraterritoriality..."

In fact, all the demands are the demands of the most common Europeans, um, they should be the demands of the most common great powers. This is how a strong country can do whatever it wants with a weak country.However, compared to other great powers, because the Chinese are mainly engaged in tin mining here, it is natural to specifically mention the issue of the mine. Unlike the past, mining needs to be approved by the Sultan, and now they are directly required to obtain mining rights. As long as the Chinese are willing to invest, they can directly mine.

Faced with such a series of demands, Tunku Gooding was dumbfounded, especially when he heard Zhao Yongfu proposed that they accept Daming's protection in terms of safety and guidance in politics, Tunku Gooding suddenly couldn't accept it. He immediately said loudly.

"How can you do whatever you want like this? Even if I fail, you can't turn me and my country into a place where you can do whatever you want!"

A strong country can do whatever it wants!
Otherwise, why are you desperately trying to become stronger?Could it be that he has practiced good kung fu just to be intoxicated in front of the mirror?

What martial arts is to strengthen the body, nonsense.The purpose of practicing martial arts is to be better than others, and the purpose of being better than others is to... bully others!

Otherwise, this strong man would be too boring!

A strong man who can't do whatever he wants and is domineering... Who will buy him?

Of course Zhao Yongfu would not say that, he said with a smile.

"No no, Sultan, I think you misunderstood me. I came here to negotiate. I didn't force you to accept our conditions because of our military victory. And such political guidance is also very necessary. It is for the sake of capable people to show you a good administrative system, and it is also for your own good!"

You can see how beautiful and perfect this reason is. At this moment, Zhao Yongfu admired himself for being able to come up with such a perfect reason.

"Of course, you can completely refuse, after all, this is a negotiation!"

Is it possible to refuse?
Only a fool would say no!
Soon, a freshly released treaty was signed, and the Kedah Sultanate became a protectorate of Ming Dynasty.

However, at the same time that this treaty was signed, Governor Ward was dumbfounded when he learned that the Ming Fleet had opened fire in Kedah Sultan. He shouted almost immediately.

"Damn it, how dare they fire at our place, fast, fast, immediately ask the fleet to go to Klang, we must stop them from reaching here!"

That is the sphere of influence of the British Empire, how dare they have such courage!In addition to being angry, he urgently summoned the consul of Ming Dynasty in Singapore. It seemed that they had already prepared for Ward's angry protest.

Xu Tianlei, the newly released temporary consul, replied directly,
"Your Excellency, I really don't see any conflicts with your country. Before that, we had protested to you by Your Excellency the Special Envoy on the safety of the local Chinese workers, but how did you respond to us? It doesn't matter, the UK is not under any obligation to do anything no matter what happens? Since you can't do it, we have to do it ourselves, what's the big deal?"

A simple answer made Ward dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that the other party used his words to block him. It seemed that at this moment, he understood why that guy Zhao Fuyong was messing with him, because the other party was doing it on purpose. Stimulate him and force him to say something that has loopholes.

"Haha, do you... really think that just because of me, you can make Britain make concessions? Have you forgotten the British navy?"

Faced with such a threat, Xu Tianlei answered simply.

"Your Excellency, we have never thought of making any concessions, but please don't ignore a country's determination to protect its own nationals. Since you cannot protect our nationals, then our fleet and our soldiers will protect our people." ! I think this is something that any normal country must do! If someone dares to block it, they will definitely pay the price!"

cost!

What a price!
Everyone is very clear that the price is likely to be war. Facing such a threat, Ward even feels a little dazed.

what did he say?
Does he know what he's talking about?

Just the next morning, the "Telia" cruiser and two gunboats from Penang sailed directly into Port Klang, although the leading "Telia" had a displacement of only 1459 tons, while the other two The two were only wooden-hulled gunboats, but as soon as they entered the port, they sent a signal.

"You must evacuate this place immediately, or we will be forced to take action!"

Facing the threat of the British Royal Navy, Meng Qingen ordered directly.

"Answer them, now Kedah Sultan has accepted the protection of Ming Dynasty, and our fleet has the right to freely enter and leave this place!"

When ordering a reply, Meng Qingen said again.

"Order the fleet to prepare for battle!"

While the side panels were lowered, the twin 254mm guns of the two turrets pointed directly at the British warship. This was the first time in Asia that the Royal Navy was threatened in this way.

"He, how dare they..."

Facing the unflagging Ming Fleet, the British couldn't even react a bit. In any case, they never imagined that someone in Asia would dare to challenge the authority of the Royal Navy.

Is it war, or?
Facing the black muzzle, even the British Royal Navy, which is known as "fighting at the sight of the enemy", was discouraged. When they chose to leave, Zhao Fuyong in the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now, the most difficult hurdle, He's already broken through.

The British, the Royal Navy, did not fire at the Ming Fleet!
While Meng Qingen breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Zhao Fukuo with complicated eyes. How could this guy calculate so accurately? How could he conclude that the British would not fire.

"Conversations between powerful countries rarely use naval guns, unless it is firing. The reason why the European navy dares to fire in other countries is to bully the weak and fear the hard. If there is no His Majesty and they show their strength in Europe, the British will definitely fire. Yes, even if the strength is far inferior to ours!"

This is the operating rule of this world, the strong will only respect the strong, as for the weak?Of course, let the weak bully!

"Bullying the weak and fearing the hard..."

Meng Qingen nodded and said.

"Indeed, the strength of the country is behind the fleet's firing. Otherwise, firing at will will only bring disaster to the country. The strong do not start wars easily because no one will lose money by killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. do it!"

"Isn't that the reason, besides, this is Kedah!"

Zhao Fukuo laughed.

"How could the British come to war with us for a small Kedah?"

In fact, this is a very simple truth. The UK will never take the risk of going to war with Nanhua to protect this chieftain for the sake of Kedah, even if this is within their sphere of influence. Are these chieftains worthy? ?
"Too!"

Meng Qingen nodded, then asked.

"Envoy, what should we do next?"

"Next, of course it will be the same as now..."

Facing the razed Sultan's Palace, Zhao Fukuo smiled.

"Of course it's a dialogue between civilized people..."
