Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"A, Ha Tien, Jiading, Bien Hoa, and My Tho will no longer pay tribute to Guangnan;" Fu Chenghui, who is the envoy of Guangnan in front of him, is the secretary of the Department of Commerce and Industry in Jinlan (Recommended by friend manson2003) He described the prerequisites for a strike and peace talks with a deadpan face. "B, from now on, I will be exempted from taxation and tax return when I trade in Hoi An and Tuo Lai Nang (danang, today's Da Nang) with merchant ships; C, Guangnan will compensate us for sending troops to the dynasty with 3 taels of silver or girls aged 16 to 3000 [-] people."

"Your request is simply too deceitful." The envoy of Guangnan's face suddenly changed when he heard it. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want with a strong ship and strong guns. You must know that Dongning and Guangnan are thousands of miles away by water. If my lord really wants to raise a large army, you may not be able to please him."

It is said that Fu Chenghui, who had a little distant relative relationship with Fu Weilin, interrupted the other party's ongoing intimidation regardless of etiquette: "Your envoy thinks that is the best. The two sides will fight again. Let's see if Guangnan captures Jinlan first. It will be me." The army of the dynasty entered Hue first, or the army of Beihe crossed the side wall and went south."

"Your side is easy to calculate." Guangnan's envoy laughed angrily. "Thinking that you can fight with friends from afar, but you must know that after the Beihe army goes south, you won't have to wait for Shu? Don't you know that Beihe is a vassal state of the Qing court? What are the benefits of attracting Beihe to your side?"

"You can't say that. After all, the enemy's enemy is our help. As for what happens in the future, that's a matter for the future." Fu Chenghui responded indifferently to the embarrassment of the Guangnan envoy. "Your envoy may say that I am short-sighted, but once the two sides meet each other, naturally there will be nothing to do."

After hearing Fu Chenghui's remarks, the envoy from Guangnan, whose expression changed for a long time, finally took a step back: "Hexian, Jiading, Bianhe, and the barren lands of My Hagimoto, the so-called tribute system is not necessary, but this envoy can I agree to your request, but the above four places are not allowed to pay tribute to Chenla and Siam."

Fu Chenghui certainly understands the real purpose of the other party's words, which is nothing more than to borrow a knife to kill people, but now that there is nothing wrong with Min Hai, Zheng Jun is fully capable of sending troops to intervene in the Indo-China Peninsula situation, so he nodded without fear: "The people of Ming Dynasty Naturally, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and it will not pay tribute to a mere small country."

So the two sides reached an agreement on the first article, but regarding the second article, the Guangnan envoy categorically rejected: "The land of this dynasty is narrow and the population is not obvious. We only use commercial taxes to support hundreds of officials and armies. Now you want to rely on force to exempt taxes. , If the countries follow suit one after another, how can the dynasty deal with itself, so this requirement is absolutely unfeasible."

After hearing this, Fu Chenghui bargained noncommittally: "Since the full exemption is not possible, how about reducing it by half?"

"It's absolutely impossible." The Guangnan side firmly refused. "It's a matter of the safety of the dynasty. I have no right to say anything about it. Even if I agree now, my lord will categorically veto it."

"If tax exemption is not possible, then please abolish the old rules of ceremony." Fu Chenghui's words sounded strange, but it was the actual situation at that time. After foreign merchant ships arrived in Hoi An, in addition to the taxes payable, It is also necessary to present gifts to Lord Ruan and his ministers. Although some gifts will be returned according to the thickness of the gift when returning to the voyage, the number of gifts in return is not fixed, and the actual value is also very meager. Therefore, the gift has become an additional tax. . "The envoy should not say that this is also related to your survival."

The envoy from Guangnan still shook his head: "The so-called Jinli is an earlier rule of this dynasty, and it involves a lot of hands and hands. If you don't want the agreement to fail, it's better not to mention it, otherwise it's just a matter of fetching water from a bamboo basket." Now, if your ship is questioned when it enters the port in the future, it will violate the original intention of the friendship between the two countries."

Seeing that what the other party said was reasonable, Fu Chenghui had to take another step back. "Then please abolish your country and the policy of buying."

According to Guangnan's system, after entering the ceremony, the captain counts the goods in the ship, registers and makes a book for each item, and presents it to the Lord Ruan for purchase, and no concealment is allowed. To punish crimes, only after the government purchases the leftovers are allowed to be shipped to other places for sale. This is actually very similar to Mingzheng’s current package purchase policy, except that Mingzheng packages are canvas, cotton, hemp rope, jute, and iron. Raw materials, lead, sulfur, mercury and other raw materials and finished products related to the military’s import to the people, as well as some monopoly commodities such as sugar, tea, and raw silk, while Guangnan’s side is first-hand for all Liktu’s goods.

Seeing that the envoy from Guangnan still hesitated, Fu Chenghui's face was serious: "You can't even agree to this point. Your country's sincerity is really evident. Forget it, please ask the envoy to go back. At worst, the two countries will do it again. Win or lose. Who makes sense."

The Guangnan envoy hesitated for a while, and agreed with reservations after giving a limited condition: "Only your ships entering the port."

However, the first two things were discussed, and the third one, Guangnan side said nothing: "Don't say 3 taels, it's just a cent and a cent of silver. I won't even pay for it. Please be sure to Get rid of this one."

"If you don't pay money, then pay the woman." Fu Chenghui revealed a piece of news that was not outdated to the other party. "Not long ago, this clan made a deal with Beihe. Five hundred bird guns were exchanged for three thousand women. The other party plans to order cannons from this clan that can blast through the side walls. If you are willing to pay compensation, this clan can Back to the business."

"It's impossible for me to pay a penny of compensation." The matter was related to Beihe, and there was a talk of breaking the side wall, which made the Guangnan people who had been on peace with Lord Zheng in the north panic, so the envoy first restrained and then raised his voice. "But for the sake of the friendship between the two sides, I can present 500 women from your side as gifts."

"500 people are too few," Fu Chenghui bargained. "In any case, there are 500 people."

"1000 people." The envoy added 800 people, but Fu Chenghui was not very satisfied, so the two sides added and subtracted [-] people and [-] people, and finally reached an agreement on [-] people. "Since the two sides have aspirations and friendship, there should be no further misunderstandings."

After a few words on the scene, the two parties finally signed the "Treaty of Boshin". Speaking of which, the envoys from Guangnan had to report to Hue to confirm the validity of the treaty, and Fu Chenghui and Cai Tong had no right to sign the contract, but that's it The non-legally binding treaty was implemented for more than three years before it was torn up by the successor Nguyen Phuc Khan's son, Nguyen Phuc Kyi. Of course, this is a later story.

Now that the treaty was signed, the envoy from Guangnan asked coyly, "Master Fu, can you return that Ferang boat?"

In fact, the Clark ship is qualified as a merchant ship, but it is a target as a warship. Therefore, Zheng Jun’s navy does not need such a large and useless ship, but since the other party asks for it, Fu Chenghui might as well offer a good price: This vassal is an enemy, how is it different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

As soon as the envoys in Guangnan heard that there was a door, they immediately hit the snake with a stick: "Folang Jiren is willing to set up a guarantee, and never become an enemy of your side."

"In the eyes of adults, what is the price of such a big ship?" Fu Chenghui asked back, seeing the embarrassing expression of the Guangnan envoy, Fu Chenghui stretched out his hand to compare. "In this way, the ship has been broken anyway, and I don't want more, so how about making three thousand women?"

At that time, the market price in Guangnan was only four or five taels of silver for a school-age girl. That is to say, Fu Chenghui offered [-] Guangnan girls, and the total value was only seven or eight thousand riyals. It sounds like a lot of money. , but compared to the value of this Clark ship, it is only a drop in the bucket. As long as the ship is repaired, the owner will make two trips on the triangular route between Macau, Naha and Azhen, and the money will be earned back. , so it is definitely cost-effective, and Fu Chenghui's willingness to agree so readily is also to add a little outside pressure to Guangnan's implementation of the treaty.

"Okay, very good. After returning home, the envoy will inform the Flangji Business Hall, and ask them to send someone to negotiate with you." The envoy paused, and made another request because he felt embarrassed. "And the businessmen from Folangji and Hongyi that you invited away from Hoi An before, will you also send them back together?"

"Fulang Jiren, you can return them together when you come to redeem the ship. As for the Hongyi merchant." Fu Weilin smiled coldly. "This feudal clan has always had a feud with Hongyi, and your country should let Hongyi take it upon itself."

The Guangnan side thought that they could use the strategy of driving wolves and tigers to instigate Chenla, Siam and other countries to embarrass the development of the Chinese people at the tip of the Indochina Peninsula. Powerful, so the Bintong Longren, who were alienated from Guangnan, quickly reached a permanent cession of Jinlan and its affiliated Ganlin area with the Jinlan Governor's Mansion.Although Ming and Zheng did not agree to use force to assist the Bintong Dragons to escape from Guangnan, the import of thousands of knives, armors, and small cannons greatly increased the courage of the Bintong Dragons, and they began to violate the orders of Hue. , thus laying a solid groundwork for the Battle of Bin Thong Long three years later, and after obtaining the Ganlin area, Ming Zheng's forces began to fight against Nha Trang, an important town in the south of Guangnan (Note: Po Nagar Tower of Champa) ), Ninghe and the border, the forces further penetrated into Guangnan

Due to the failure of the attack on Cam Ranh, Zheng Jun's subsequent plunder of Hoi An, and the loss of power and humiliation of the country in the "Treaty of Boshin", Nguyen Phuc Qin, who was later posthumously known as the Yizhu, has been unhappy since then, and his health is deteriorating.However, the Chenla attack on the Haxian area that he expected did not happen immediately. Chetthaiv of the Phnom Penh Dynasty in Chenla rationally realized the strength of Ming Zheng relative to himself, and on the one hand, he verbally emphasized the attack on Haxian. At the same time as the control of other places, while strengthening the business relationship with the Jinlan Dudufu, the merchants of Mingzheng have further expanded their influence in Chenla. The Jinlan Dudufu has truly become a powerful force in the south of the Indochina Peninsula. power
