Chapter 108 Dragon Plan 21: Epilogue (Part 2)

 "As for the Hong Gang people, His Majesty had an idea before"

"Since we do not intend to invade the Qing continent, we cannot defend Guangzhou City by relying solely on gangs. Therefore, convincing them to go to Southeast Asia is a feasible way"

"In today's Southeast Asia, the best in terms of geographical location and local carrying capacity is the Malay Peninsula"

"There is currently the Kingdom of Aceh in Sumatra. Most of the islands are tropical rainforests, and the same is true for Borneo Island. It is really not an ideal goal"

"Other islands are either too small or too biased, and they are not useful"

"Only the Malay Peninsula has been developed by the local natives and Chinese for thousands of years. Although it is also surrounded by tropical rainforests, most places can still be lived in."

"There are several sultanate countries on the peninsula. The original foreigner Bugis in Johor showed signs of unifying the peninsula, but we were interrupted."

"If this happens, it is better to migrate these gang populations there. Your Majesty has chosen a place for them, which is Peking University New Year"

"There are many Chinese here and the Sudan is weak. The key is that it is located in the middle of the peninsula. Although the north part of the few places belong to Siam, most of the land of Siam is currently occupied by Burmese people, so there is no time to take care of it."

"After occupying this place, you can develop slowly in the north and south directions. You can promise that one of them will serve as king or other names. With our assistance, they will hope to unify the Malay Peninsula within five to ten years"

"This place is rich in tin ore and grain, we only need their grain. By the way, this place can not only attract attention to the peninsula, but also look forward to the Siam, Zhenla and Guangnan opposite. How to develop depends on their own ability"

"Your Majesty thought that the country would definitely take the initiative to accept the jurisdiction of our country at the beginning, so it would be directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Far East. As for whether it would be directly incorporated into our country or to become a country alone, it would be necessary to support a force that is absolutely close to our country in the Nanyang region"

Only then did everyone let go of their previous dissatisfaction.

Bayar continued: "As for how to treat the Qing Dynasty, Your Majesty also explained it, and he emphasized one thing in particular"

"That is, the highest level of politics is compromise, and the worst is to make enemies everywhere, resulting in one's own overwhelming death. This is how the Mongol Empire died out. The lessons of the past must be taken."

"So, we also need to be very careful in how to deal with the relationship with the Qing Dynasty"

"The emperors today have a high opinion of themselves. Once they are completely angry, what awaits us will definitely be sleepless harassment. It is also predictable to completely block the sea border. In that case, it will be difficult to continue to migrate the population, unless it is like Guangzhou again"

"But there is only one in Guangzhou, so it will probably be difficult to do it in the same way."

"So, if they are willing to negotiate with us, they also need to lower their attitude, such as renting Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula, it is not a bad idea to give them a certain amount of rent"

"According to His Majesty's judgment, continuous immigration is estimated to take fifty years. If the lease period is mentioned, it will be used as the boundary"

"If you follow what you said just now, if you have a conservative estimate, you will be calculated based on 50,000 households every year, that is 200,000 people. In 50 years, there will be tens of millions of people. At that time, the local population of our country is estimated to be tens of millions, which is enough to deal with anything."

"In terms of negotiations, our goal is to keep it open to Guangzhou Port. my country needs a lot of tea. The best way to purchase is here. If it still needs to be transferred from the Russians, it would be too expensive. There is a small amount of production in the Tubasidan area, but it is far from meeting our needs."

"As for coffee, you can buy it from European countries, which was made by His Majesty. It is not impossible to rob a place in the Americas and then produce this product yourself, but this is contrary to the fact that you didn't make enemies everywhere just now."

"Deliberately holding the handle on trade in the other party's hands is not a particularly critical material, that is the highest level of diplomacy"

"So, in order not to anger the Qing court, we can reach a private agreement with them, for example, the two sides reached an agreement to allow the Portuguese to occupy about 30% of the foreign trade share of Guangzhou's trade ports"

"On the surface, our country is excluded and their vanity is satisfied. In fact, our country can still obtain a large amount of tea, that's all."

"As for the population of Ryukyu, Japan, and North Korea, there is no need to worry about so many"

"Once you take down the entire Ryukyu, you will definitely anger the Satsuma tribe, which governs Ryukyu. After several naval battles, the Satsuma tribe will no longer be defended and migrate its population in large quantities. According to Your Majesty, the Japanese will definitely be obedient when they encounter powers that are much stronger than them."

"They are both good farmers and extremely submissive soldiers. North Korea is a little worse, but it is also good."

"Ryukyu and Satsuma are the key places for you to introduce a large number of people in the next step, and then North Korea. As for the Qing Dynasty, it will be just a slow recruitment. Once our country surrenders, the country should not completely block the sea border, and it will not be too difficult to recruit."

"What's more, if there are three or five years, immigrants who have lived and worked in our country can sneak back to the Qing Dynasty to promote it. Then I will recruit them smoothly and create good conditions"

"In addition, His Majesty decided to completely control Bangladesh and South Africa and establish a separate Governor-General's jurisdiction. These two places are vast and rich in resources. Bangladesh's population is submissive. South Africa is full of wild black people, so it is not difficult to operate."

"By the way, before, when we saw our country showing its power in the Far East, the Portuguese were completely convinced. After negotiations with the king of the country, our country did not get the promised Macau and East Timor from them. After arduous negotiations, they agreed to transfer the Goa colony"

"You must know that Goa produces a lot of easy-to-march iron ore, and combined with Bangladesh, which is rich in coal mines, will be a complete power. His Majesty also agrees to build a real coal-steel composite in Bangladesh in the future, and new rifles, artillery, warships, and even steam engines can be built there"

"It can effectively support our country's Far East strategy"

"At the same time, our country will strongly support the Portuguese to vigorously manage the Red Sea and the northeast of the African continent, thinking that our country's future Egyptian strategy lays the foundation. At present, they are the only colonial foundation on the entire east coast of Africa. With the support of our country, there should be no big problem"

"As for South Africa, according to His Majesty, this place is the most suitable place on the entire African continent. It has a mild climate and abundant resources. It can not only grow a large amount of food, but also has abundant coal and iron resources. It is also the basis of a strong country. At present, only our country and the Dutch are there."

"It depends on who is moving faster. According to the Dutch's approach, we will definitely not be able to beat us. At most twenty years, by which time our country has grown into a truly powerful country that cannot be challenged, and we can completely win the entire South Africa."

"Now the third prince Toure is in Bangladesh. His Majesty has transferred the second prince Onktai, who is still wasting his time in Morocco, to South Africa, and make him the governor there. Each time the fleet transports 25% of the population to Bangladesh and 25% of the population to South Africa"

"The natives of Bangladesh must also continue to transport some to South Africa, gradually diluting their population that believes in Hinduism and Islamic Buddhism. The ultimate goal is to make the entire West Bengal population Chinese, Alakans, and Assams account for more than half of it"

"In another twenty years, East Bengal will be taken down, and the north Assam will be annexed. In addition to the Chinese and Alakans, the population of FYIJIANG will also be more than half."

"At that time, it will be a completely controllable, powerful and self-sufficient governor's jurisdiction."

"South Africa's goal is the same. By then, Chinese people will occupy half, black people and Bangladeshis will occupy the other half, and they will also become self-sufficiency governors' jurisdiction."

"The Lash Island in the Mediterranean is firmly in the hands of our country. The eldest prince no longer needs to waste his time there. He has been transferred back to the local area by His Majesty"

Timur inserted: "Does your Majesty have no idea about the Americas?"

Bayar said: "I asked him before coming, but he did not make up his mind. I probably haven't made up my mind yet. Let's talk about it. The things I just mentioned will take at least ten years to achieve results. I guess Your Majesty will finally make up his mind by then."

"By the way, I'll tell you something, you know, in the previous seven years of war, the British won a great victory, and they completely seized the French colonies in India and America"

"However, due to the sudden insertion of our country, the British's water power was greatly reduced. The French immediately tore up the agreement and prepared to start the warships to the Americas. Tell me, how should the British react at this time?"

Deng Quan said: "Although the British have a little reduced strength, they still have considerable strength on the water. I'm afraid the French cannot win easily, and the French army should be no less than the British, but they still have the power to fight no matter what."

Bayar smiled and said, "Tell you, this is why the British were able to rampant in Europe before we appeared. They were defeated by our army many times at sea, or after a crushing defeat, they immediately put down their figure."

"He returned the American colony he had just obtained to France! Then he concluded a peace agreement with the French!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Bayar took a sip of tea and said, "It seems that all wise leaders do are the same. The British do this obviously want to unite Europe by themselves and then slowly accumulate strength by themselves."

"Tell you one more thing"

"There is a famous craftsman named Watt in the UK, who is the most famous craftsman in making steam engines. At present, the British royal family, the House of Lords and the House of Commons have reached a rare agreement. On the one hand, they enthroned Watt as a viscount and provided him with 10,000 pounds a year to make him do his best to improve the steam engine."

"Before I came here, the British steamboat had been secretly tested in the waters between the British Isle and the Ireland"

"Also, the French also tried to produce breech guns that could quickly load bullets. According to the speculation of our Chinese craftsmen, they must have learned about the secret of the firing-firing musket."

"But don't worry too much. Although they have tried these things, it will take at least twenty years to achieve mass production. The materials are the hurdles they can't get around"

"Twenty years, the great Truchen has become a behemoth"

....

In October, the Qing court indeed sent people to negotiate.

After three months of hard negotiations between Bayar and them, a treaty was finally reached. The content of the treaty was similar to what Bayar said before, and the main content was:

First, the Truqins withdrew from all areas including Guangzhou City and returned the detained civil and military officials of Guangzhou and their families;

Second, the Qing court agreed to lease the Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong Island and the islands south to the Truchen people for a lease period of 50 years and pay a rent of 100,000 taels of silver every year.

Of course, this is just a fool of domestic people on the surface. This payment is directly through the channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, the Truchens only need to pay 10,000 taels of silver every year.

Third, the Qing court retained the Guangzhou trade port and did not allow the enemy Truqin to enter trade on the surface, but increased the Portuguese trade share to 30%, and two of them were Truqin people.

At this time, the Truchens had transported 10 million taels of silver back to their homeland, and the remaining 8 million taels were all left in South Africa, Bangladesh and the Far East.

A new era is coming.
