Chapter 2454

Although the Manchu and Qing Dynasties reluctantly recognized the reconciliation conditions of the other three countries due to military pressure, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties still paid enough attention to the formal signing of the armistice agreement. Huang Taiji appointed Prince Dorgon and Shuorui to come to Jinzhou.

Attend the agreement signing ceremony.

In June 1639, representatives of the Haihan, Manchu, Ming, and Korean countries jointly signed an armistice agreement at the Nanguanling Camp in Jinzhou, which would achieve a comprehensive armistice within the four countries and discuss the division of national borders, the exchange of prisoners of war, and the war.

Follow-up talks were held on issues such as compensation, customs clearance and trade, which was known as the "Jimao Peace Treaty" in history.

During the negotiation process, North Korea basically just played the role of the atmosphere team, standing behind Haihan and waving flags and shouting, but in the end, it was the country that paid the least and gained the most in the peace treaty. North Korea's national borders basically remained unchanged, and they got what they wanted.

The long-awaited peace. Of course, this rare peace still comes from the support of Haihan, otherwise North Korea may not even have the opportunity to participate in this negotiation. So after this, Haihan will probably get more from North Korea.

Much special treatment in return.

Through this negotiation, the Ming Dynasty also retained control of Ningyuan, Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan, Jinzhou and other places outside Shanhaiguan, and gained valuable buffer time to strengthen the defense system in these areas. In the original history

, these cities outside Guxuan Pass only held out until 1640, and were all captured by the Qing army. The Guanning Iron Cavalry, which the Ming Dynasty was proud of, was also annihilated. This important agreement was signed before the Songjin War broke out.

The peace treaty agreement allowed Ming Dynasty to avoid a catastrophe invisibly, and the national destiny also got a chance to survive.

However, the respite that Ming can get comes from Haihan's help after all. Therefore, in exchange, Ming will also recognize Haihan's interests in Dengzhou, Shandong, and acquiesce in Haihan's hosting of refugees and stationing troops in the area.

.The Jinzhou area was officially handed over to the jurisdiction of Haihan in the form of a concession, with an unlimited lease term, which was equivalent to a disguised admission that this area had changed hands.

In return, Ming will also get the opportunity to order more Haihan weapons. Although these weapons are very expensive, for Ming who is eager to quell the domestic chaos, as long as they are easy to use, it is worth spending more money.

. After all, every time the peasant army made a fuss, the losses caused to the Ming Dynasty would be counted in tens or even millions of taels of silver. In comparison, the cost of purchasing weapons seemed very cost-effective.

In Yang Sichang's view, the Ming Dynasty must first resolve its internal disputes, and then accumulate strength to solve the problems in the north. It is hard to say how many years this peace agreement will last. The Ming Dynasty should seize this precious time to prepare for war, maybe the next time it fights the Manchus

You won't be as passive as you are now.

The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were undoubtedly the party that suffered the most. The content of the agreement finally signed was far from Huang Taiji's original intention. The reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty and North Korea was completely reached under the coercion of Haihan. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties gave up their control of these two countries.

If the country has the power to start a war, it is equivalent to tying its own hands and giving up a large amount of resources and land that can be easily obtained.

Of course, the settlement reached with Haihan allowed the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to still have peace with each other, and they no longer need to worry about raids from the sea in the future. Moreover, Haihan said that he could open commercial contacts with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This was probably the first time for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to

The most important takeaway from the negotiation.

How many allies Haihan has means that there are the same number of business partners, and the number of trade projects that these channels can bring to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is unimaginable. Almost all the various resources and agricultural and animal husbandry products produced in the areas under the Manchu Qing rule

Can be sold as merchandise to Haihan and his allies.

Dorgon was very unhappy when he came to Jinzhou, believing that the peace treaty had greatly damaged the interests of the Manchus. However, after two private meetings with Tao Donglai, his mood changed significantly. Hai

The trade prospects described by the Han people indeed made him very excited, and it was difficult to refuse the huge benefits that the trade between the two countries would bring to the Qing Dynasty and himself.

So before Dorgon left Jinzhou, the two sides signed a memorandum of intent on trade and reached a preliminary consensus on treaty ports, trade projects, settlement methods, etc. Because Jinzhou has relatively complete port conditions, it became

A pilot port for trade between the two sides has been established. After one or two years of operation, we will discuss whether to open more ports depending on the actual situation.

After completing the talks with the other three countries, the situation in Northeast Asia finally began to calm down. Tao Donglai relatively successfully completed his mission and left Jinzhou to return south to Sanya.

When passing through Dinghai Port in Zhoushan, Tao Donglai stayed for a while. The issue of whether or not the prefect of Ningbo, Qu Yutong, had been worried about, Tao Donglai also solved it for him during the negotiation. Yang Sichang wanted to win the position of prefect of Ningbo.

The purpose was mainly to collect trade taxes to fund military expenditures. However, now that the situation in the north has improved, and there will be no large-scale military operations in the northern border defense in the short term, the demand for military expenditures is not so urgent for the time being. So Yang Sichang sold Tao

As a favor, Donglai promised not to interfere in Ningbo's affairs.

In the autumn of 1639, the special forces under Qian Tiandun and the Marine Corps under Wang Tom received orders from Sanya and began to evacuate their current bases in batches, and other troops were transferred to Jinzhou and Datongjiang bases.

These two elite troops, which have been fighting abroad for many years, first returned to their base in Sanya for a three-month rest and recuperation, and then set off for the Manila Islands to carry out a clearing and suppression attack on the Spanish colonial armed forces entrenched near Cebu.

In the winter of 1639, the Haihan Army broke into the port of Cebu. During the battle, more than 20 Spanish sailing ships were sunk and a large number of prisoners of war were captured, including more than 800 Spaniards. After this battle, almost all Spanish colonial settlements in the Philippine Islands were destroyed.

Suffering a devastating blow, the few fish that escaped the net escaped by boat, sailed south around Mindanao, crossed the equator and entered the Maluku Sea in the southern hemisphere. At this point, the Spaniards no longer posed a threat to the Manila area.

However, there are a lot of Dutch merchant ships operating in this area. The various spices produced in the Maluku Islands are best-sellers in Europe. The Dutch will definitely not ignore the Spanish intrusion, and a fierce fight will inevitably follow.

Beginning at the end of 1640, the trade agreement between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Haihan was officially signed, and Jinzhou became the only outlet for Manchu and Qing goods. In just the first month of operation, the transaction volume of goods sold through Jinzhou exceeded that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The total amount of foreign trade in the previous year, and a large amount of daily necessities were trafficked from here to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Of course, this kind of import and export trade that is sure to make a profit is not accessible to everyone, and it is mainly controlled by the Manchu and Qing royal family.

In the hands of nobles.
