Section 926 Lease of Colombo City for one hundred years
Sure enough, not long after the negotiations began, when discussing the ownership of Colombo City, Rajsingh II's face turned gloomy, while Yan Changwu still looked as usual.
The interpreter told Yan Changwudao: "He said that Colombo City is the territory of the Kandy Kingdom since ancient times, and if he gives it up, he will not be able to see his ancestors and ancestors!" ”
Saying this, the Chinese people nodded in agreement.
In fact, what Rajsingh II said was "Colombo City is the territory of my Kandy Kingdom, we cannot give up Colombo City, otherwise, we will not hesitate to fight!" ”
Seeing his resolute face, the translator gave him a paraphrase, while the translator of Kandy was confused, he knew Chinese roughly, did not understand what "since ancient times" was, and why did he say that he could not see his ancestors if he gave up?
The interpreter said to Rajsingh II: "We have taken the city of Colombo from the hands of the Red Maofan, and the land that flows with our blood cannot be easily ceded!" ”
It can be summed up as "the land won by a hundred battles cannot be allowed!" ”
The atmosphere cooled down all at once!
When it rang, Mr. David of the southeastern country and Ashwila, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Kandy, went into battle against each other.
It's impossible for the boss to bother with words, otherwise what do you want Ma Tsai to do!
Ashwila, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Kandy, explained the history of Colombo City, emphasizing that their Sinhalese people will never give up every inch of land, in order to regain the city of Colombo, the Kingdom of Kandy and the previous dynasties have launched unremitting attacks on the city of Colombo, and the war has been fought for a hundred years, and the Portuguese can be called a blood feud!
So much blood has been shed and so many lives have been lost, if the Chinese refuse to give in and it is the turn of the Chinese to take the place of the Portuguese, then I am sorry, our Kingdom of Kandy will not hesitate to fight......
After speaking very strongly, Ashwera changed his tone and talked about his friendship with the Chinese.
He said that he met the Chinese businessmen Chen, Liu and Yue in the capital of Kandy, and met and intersected with them, and the Chinese were knowledgeable and courteous, humble and honest, versatile, and diligent and hardworking, which won his appreciation and he also got a lot of inspiration from the Chinese businessmen......
The Chinese listened to it, while the Kandy ministers secretly scolded the old thief for being shameless enough, and he met with Chinese businessmen?
At that time, the status of merchants was low, and the magnates of any country used merchants as ATMs and Tang monk meat, and tried their best to squeeze the flesh and blood, and the status of merchants was high, perhaps in the Netherlands in the west (they overthrew the rule of Spain and became independent, and the commerce was developed, they were sea coachmen, and the status of merchants was naturally high) and the southeast country in the east (King Yan Changwu was born in a family that was actually a pirate for maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty, and did legitimate business when there were many people, and did business without capital when there were few people, and Hokkien people did not discriminate against maritime merchants).
It must be a Chinese businessman who posted a gift to Ashwila, Ashwera received a gift and a sticker, but he didn't see anyone, and now he was making a lot of nonsense there, and the Kandy ministers saw him talking nonsense with his eyes open, obviously he hadn't seen it, but he made it up without hindrance, obviously the skill of telling lies has been perfected, no wonder he can be in a high position as the prime minister!
Mr. David smiled slightly, maintaining a polite demeanor, he had intelligence from the Military Intelligence Agency, and knew that the intelligence officers who had been dressed as businessmen were received by his butler when they asked to see Ashwela, and no matter how expensive the gifts, he had never seen the Prime Minister in front of him.
After he finished speaking, it was Mr. David's turn to speak, and he told the story of the whiteskins who invaded the southeast, killed our people, and destroyed our city, and the crimes were too numerous to mention!
Today, my king is raising volunteers, begging for injustice, taking revenge, defeating the Hongmao Fan fleet at sea, breaking Colombo City on land, costing huge military funds, attacking Colombo City is bleeding and sacrificing a lot, fortunately with the blessing of Mazu Niangniang, take Colombo City, how can you give in?
If you let it, I'm sorry for Mazu Niangniang, and there will be negative people below, so that the fallen soldiers will not be stable!
Mr. David is pure in Chinese, free in conversation and personable.
The Kandy people looked at a red-haired fan speaking on behalf of the Chinese, and the Chinese looked like they were taken for granted, secretly wondering.
You know, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different.
Since the Chinese can let a red-haired fan climb to such a high position, it is seen that he does have extraordinary strengths, and more importantly, the Chinese are full of confidence in themselves and are not afraid of him backing up.
The two sides explained their reasons for not giving up, and asked the other to give up, and Ashwera made a bid: "We will pay a hundred pounds of gold to redeem the city of Colombo." ”
Mr. David said, "We are willing to pay 200 pounds of gold as compensation for your abandonment of Colombo City." ”
Ashvera said softly and hardly: "If you don't let it, I'm afraid that you Chinese will not be stable in the future!" ”
He said hesitantly: "This is our territory, what we have is patience, don't forget that we have been fighting with the Portuguese for a hundred years!" “
Mr. David said-for-tat: "If I let it go, I'm afraid I won't be able to settle down today!" ”
He said calmly: "For the sake of friendship between the two countries, we should not fight each other, but if we really want to fight, believe me, we are stronger than the Portuguese, and you will regret it at that time." “
The two stared at each other, and one secretly scolded: "Dead old ghost!" The other scolded: "Damn the red-haired fan! ”
The two sides couldn't talk anymore, and seeing their angry appearance, Yan Changwu said in a high-pitched manner: "We Chinese are a peaceful nation, pay attention to river crabs, and do not like such rude things as fighting, killing, and killing, and we are willing to develop good-neighborly and friendly relations with neighboring countries......" (hundreds of words omitted)
He didn't need to type a draft of nonsense, and the Kandy people listened indifferently, looking at the army on his side, which had been standing there for so long, still disciplined, murderous, motionless, and silent!
Terrible army!
In contrast, the uncles and soldiers of the Kandyan people writhed impatiently, and their discipline was sloppy, and they did not form a queue!
The Kandyans could not imagine that if there was a war......
So they listened patiently, and the powerful Rajsingh II saw the performance of the ministers and generals in his eyes, and sighed secretly, he saw that they were afraid!
Finally, Yan Changwu gave a dry goods and said: "We recognize Colombo City as yours!" ”
Immediately, the people of Kandy were overjoyed!
"But!" Yan Changwu changed the topic and said: "Our southeastern country will lease Colombo City for a hundred years and pay you rent!" ”
He said lightly: "The sovereignty is yours, the right to use is mine, and the matter will be solved!" ”
When the people of Kandy heard it, this is a good idea!
With this method, although the Kingdom of Kandy has lost its lining, it has gained face, and it is best not to fight, and no one wants to deal with the strong army of the Chinese!
They are all old treacherous people, and no one will speak in agreement, Rajesingh II sneered, and named those sanctimonious guys one by one, but they all said that they were subject to the king's holy judgment, and even the most capable generals were avoiding his gaze!
Rajesingh II felt a wave of sorrow in his heart, and nodded helplessly: "Good! ”
