Chapter 698 The Fujing Treaty, get Malacca!

November 29, the fourth year of Zhaowu.

The Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands negotiated for the third time on the aftermath of the battle on Dongfan Island.

This time Luke no longer mentioned the matter of becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty - the water here was too deep, and he felt that even if Prince Orange came in person, he might not dare to make a decision.

In this way, the Netherlands made concessions again during the negotiations, hoping to redeem captured Dutch officials, soldiers and citizens in accordance with European practices and prices.

The Ming Dynasty didn't want to use the prisoners to get much money.

One reason is that there are no big figures among these prisoners, such as great nobles. Two reason is that in the past year and a half, the Ming Dynasty has actually used these prisoners to build a lot of roads.

After finalizing the redemption of the prisoners, the two convenient areas were cedeed and the compensation was debated for most of the day.

Judging from the negotiation time between countries, it took most of the day to finalize the land cession, and the compensation matter was not only not long, but also progressed rapidly.

Just because the Ming side had all the advantages in the negotiations, the Netherlands had almost no advantages, so they could only continue to give in and quickly exposed its bottom line.

Finally, Luke signed the Treaty of Mirror with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Federal Republic of the Netherlands (commonly known as the Netherlands).

In the ninth year of Yongle, Bairimisura even led his wife and a group of 540 followers to come to our Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. It can be said that he was one of the vassal states with the great relations with our Ming Dynasty in his early years."

Therefore, when the tea was served, Tang Datao took the idea of ​​listening to others' idleness, tasted tea and read newspapers, and first learned about the humanities and geography of Malacca through the Ming Dynasty.

There is even a kind of: this world is similar to the great struggles during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If scholars want to understand the true truth, they cannot be confined to the culture of one country and one place. They should travel around the countries and learn from the East and the West to become useful in the world.

Scholars.

"Give me one!"

It is worth mentioning here that the reason why the Netherlands redeems most of the prisoners in the treaty was because it reached a secret deal with the Ming Dynasty.

These young men have stronger coping skills than children.

"There are also introductions in this newspaper. Brother Liu can read it yourself." The person said this, but he still couldn't help but introduce it. "About a hundred years ago, Franchis came to Nanyang from Europe.

Originally, the Daming Pao was a must-read newspaper for many Nanjing citizens. At this time, when I heard this issue of Daming Pao reported that the Netherlands had cedeed land and paid compensation from the Ming Dynasty, many people were excited and surrounded and bought newspapers.

Fortunately, under the constraints of the imperial court laws, all newspapers no longer use newspaper boys under the age of thirteen, but use newspaper boys aged thirteen to eighteen.

Article 1: The United Republic of the Netherlands redeems some of the personnel captured by the Ming Kingdom during the Battle of Dongfan Island at an appropriate price.

Nanjing.

Article 2: The United Republic of the Netherlands ceded Malacca and its surrounding colonies to the Ming Dynasty.

Not only because Moxianglou has good tea and reasonable prices, but also because Moxianglou has become a place for famous young scholars in Nanjing to gather and communicate.

Five million taels of silver are required for the first time, and the subsequent eight million taels of silver and interest must be paid off within four years.

Among the Dutch prisoners born in the Battle of Dongfan Island, there are still some people who can use it. For example, officers who are familiar with naval battles in the era of sailing warships, craftsmen with shipbuilding skills, etc.

While speaking, the throne distributed newspapers to those who paid the money.

In the morning, the shouts of the chaotic man rang out in the streets and alleys inside and outside the city.

"Brother Liu didn't know? Malacca was the former Manlacca Kingdom, with the same transliteration. Look, isn't this newspaper's second page introducing the history of Malacca?

The Manraga Kingdom was built by Parimisura, the prince of Palengang from Sumatra, in 1402 AD, that is, the 35th year of Hongwu (and the fourth year of Jianwen).

When this country was first recorded in Malacca, it was just a fishing village with wild grass. It was named after it was located on the banks of the Malacca (Malacca).

Since reading the Ming Dynasty, Tang Datao has been quite interested in global geography and humanities.

When I came to Moxianglou, Tang Datao found that it was indeed more lively than usual - it was the same every day when the Ming Dynasty was published. If the newspapers included major military and political actions of the imperial court, the young men came to Moxianglou to read the newspaper and discuss it.

There are more to the child.

There are three main articles in this treaty—

So PY transactions were born.

"The headlines of the Ming Dynasty! The negotiations with the Dutch have settled! The Netherlands ceded Malacca! The compensation for 13 million silver!"

“···”

Hearing this, Tang Datao couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly.

Because it takes a certain amount of time whether it is the Netherlands preparing to repay the first five million taels of silver, preparing to deliver it to Malacca, or the Ming Dynasty handing over the Dutch prisoners.

"Boyant, I'll take one too."

So the Heyi had been fighting Malacca for nearly 40 years, but he couldn't get it. It was not until seven years ago that he cooperated with the Johor Kingdom to capture Malacca.

However, at this time, the Zhuolang was surrounded by dozens of people to buy the newspaper, and he was a little busy for a while.

However, although this transaction cannot be made public, it may not be a bad thing for the group of Dutch prisoners left behind.

The "Taijing Treaty" was scheduled to be held more than two months later, on February 12, the fifth year of Zhaowu.

Immediately, he took the newspapers and magazines directly to Moxianglou.

Tang Da Pottery decided that the Moxiang Building will be full soon today, so I quickly asked for a second-floor compartment to take a seat first.

When the Heyi first arrived in Nanyang forty years ago, he took a fancy to this important maritime transportation route in Malacca and sent troops to attack many times.

As for He Yi, Brother Liu should have learned about it in the previous Ming Dynasty. Their naval battles are OK, but land battles are not. They are likely to lose any wars that are related to land.

"Give it to me, I just gave the money!"

In the first year of Yongle, they sent envoys to our Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. In the third year of Yongle, Chengzu conferred Rimisura as the king of Manlacca.

After all the dozens of people bought newspapers and left, the newspaper ran away. At this time, Tang Datao, who was smiling, came over and paid for the last one.

As far as he knows, the combat effectiveness of the Heyi is not low.

At that time, Malacca, controlled by Franji people, fought against each other with the local Johor and Aceh sultanate countries, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and eventually suffered a loss.

“Where is Malacca?”

During this period, various remarks about the headlines of the Ming Dynasty's newspaper upstairs and downstairs kept coming to his ears-

The Ming Dynasty did not want to let these useful people go, and the Netherlands did not care much about these people, but instead hoped to reduce compensation more.

According to the report from the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands and Yi lost many battles in the Southeast Asian region, but their opponents were the worst among the kingdoms that occupied a place in the Southeast Asian region. Most of the time they fought against Spain, Portugal and the Ming Dynasty, and it was normal to lose.

"Then why did this Manraka Kingdom become the Malacca of Heyi?"

Article 3: The Dutch East India Company is responsible for compensation for the losses of the Ming Dynasty in the Battle of Dongfan Island and the losses caused by the company's colonization of Dongfan Island in the previous twenty years, totaling 13 million taels of silver (approximately equal to

One million and three million taels of gold).

Speaking of which, although the price of the Ming Dynasty has been lowering repeatedly, the price is still not low now. One issue of the newspaper requires a lot of money from the ten-literature Zhaowu Tongbao. If there are additional and special issues, the price must be calculated separately.

During the two or three years of studying in Nanjing, Tang Datao also became a frequent visitor to Moxianglou.

A hundred years later, even more than forty years ago, the Heyi also came to Nanyang from the West.

"Don't worry, everyone, the Ming Dynasty newspaper is definitely enough today - but the above said that if you sell it, add the printing immediately."

Because some Dutch prisoners now hope to stay in the Ming Dynasty...

December 5, the fourth year of Zhaowu.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

When the Maritime Silk Road was opened during the Tang Dynasty, Malacca became an important channel for East-West transportation, and then gradually became prosperous.

At that time, the political environment within the Manlacca kingdom was dark and the king was incompetent, so he was taken advantage of by Franji people to destroy the country and occupy the land.

Now this Zhuanglang grew up as a newspaper boy and is more familiar with the situation in the moment.

What a pity, with He Yi's combat power, he is destined to be unable to defend a good place like Malacca. Look, isn't this just ceded to me?..."

Because the Kingdom of Malacca was the earliest country here, its kings and nobles all believed in religion, so most of the indigenous people of Malacca now believe in Islam.

In addition to being an important channel for sea transportation between the East and the West, Malacca also has a lot of resources.

There are precious things such as yellow-sustaining fragrance, sausage fragrance, birds, woods, flowers and tin, etc., and there are many Western fruits and vegetables. As for tropical fruits, they are all available, which can be said to be a place of prosperity...
