Chapter 248: Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence

NSW is very prosperous, and in the current era, no matter which country or place in the world, NSW is a first-class prosperous place.

But Zheng Zhilong, who came from later generations, has seen more prosperous modern cities, will he still be rare in the new state in front of him?

At most, you can enjoy the different atmosphere here from the 21st century.

But in the past few years, he has seen a lot of scenes of "estimating customers, thousands of trees, and up and down the tide", and the only difference between Xinzhou and Anping and Xiamen is that there are more Europeans here.

I just don't know if these Europeans will still be dense after he gets Manila next and goes on a killing spree.

Zheng Zhilong led the navy and army to Xinzhou, and the Western-style sail warships let everyone here see the core strength of the Zheng family to suppress the Dutch, and a large number of tall horses, high morale, and energetic army soldiers also cheered the Han Chinese, and the Xiyi natives changed color.

The large number of army soldiers armed with muskets was so large that they completely crushed the strength of the Europeans in the South Seas.

Zheng Zhilong was pleased with the reaction of the Europeans and indigenous princes, and force was the cornerstone of his rights. The golden signboard of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang is of course very important, but without the support of the armed forces, everything is just a mirage.

"One of the biggest factors in convening all countries here to discuss this time is the Xiyi from Europe." In the Xinzhou Auditorium, Zheng Zhilong, dressed in a python robe, stood on the stage to speak.

The people on the stage are the kings of the countries present, and the people in the audience are the envoys of the countries present.

The former are arranged according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, such as the new Ryukyu monarch Shangxian, who will be completely crushed by Southern Nguyen and Northern Zheng in terms of strength, and is not as good as King Talong of Burma and King Basethorn of Siam. But he has the ability to overpower the southern Nguyen and northern Zheng, side by side with the lords of Burma and Siam, and the biggest reason for this is that it has always been a subject of the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike Nibo (Brunei), there was also a tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli year. But in recent decades, there has been no movement.

There are quite a few such countries in the South Seas. Many small countries that are no longer subject states of the Ming Dynasty are either subjects of the Ming Dynasty in history, and now they have changed dynasties, such as Mataran and Aceh; Or like Nibo, it has been a long time since it has been connected with the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there are also some small new states – like those in the Malay Peninsula – that are ranked in order of strength and weakness.

"The harm of Xiyi has been experienced by many countries. Relying on the advantages of guns and guns, the strength of warships, rampant on the vast sea, even my Ming Dynasty also had more confrontations with it, and the other generation who was forced did not dare to look north at the Central Plains. ”

"From the Franciscans in the early years to the Spaniards later, then the Dutch and the English."

"In the past hundred years, Xiyi has become deeper and deeper in the roots of the South Seas, and its strength has become thicker and thicker. If you leave it alone, how will you know what the next hundred years will be? How many of the nations here today are still there, and how many have perished like Ma Yi (Luzon)? ”

Zheng Zhilong's gaze swept over the crowd in the audience, not caring what they were thinking now, let alone turning his head to look at the faces and expressions of the monarchs behind him, just continue to speak.

"Ben Hou is ordered by His Majesty to comfort Nanyang, and he can't sit idly by, if he hasn't seen it."

"The purpose of convening all countries together this time is to unite the strength of all countries, protect the country and protect the people, and stabilize the country."

That is, to create a small alliance, he came to be the leader of the alliance, while collecting protection money, and at the same time using the strength of various countries to cooperate with his own strength to limit the expansion and development of Europeans in the South Seas. As for the infiltration of countries at the same time, it is a long-term consideration.

Aceh, Johor, and Mataram all raised their hands in agreement, and the three countries are now facing the troubles of the Dutch, while some small countries such as Pattani, Boni, and Sulu are even more happy.

These countries are all threatened by the Europeans, not to mention Pattani, Sulu is the fat on the lips of Spain, and Bo mud has been forced by the Dutch to negotiate and build an earthen reservoir to live in. When the Dutch forcibly occupied Penghu, the national letter they carried was the national script.

Among the countries present, only a few places such as Burma, Siam, Angkor, and Nam Nguyen, North Thanh were not disturbed by the Europeans, because the military strength of these countries was strong enough, and the Europeans went to do business honestly.

But people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and after seeing the fate of these small countries such as Nibo and Pattani, they will not be so stupid as to think that they will never be troubled by Europeans.

After all, these Europeans are really hard to mess with. They even dared to tease the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, let alone them.

"Gathering all nations here today, Ben Hou means that we and other countries will form an alliance here. In line with the five principles of peaceful coexistence, when facing Xiyi, we should advance and retreat together, and one will be prosperous and one will be lost. This is Zheng Zhilong's magic weapon.

As for what the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence are, the banners hanging in the auditorium should not be too conspicuous.

These earth kings or envoys can have interpreters around them.

Mutual respect for territorial sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.

It's clear what it means.

In fact, this five principles of peaceful coexistence are the magic weapon of Zheng Zhilong's convening of monarchs and envoys from various countries this time. The countries of the South Seas are worried about the threat to them from the Europeans, so how can they not worry about the threat of the Zheng clan to them. Even if there is a golden sign of the Ming Dynasty, this will at most reduce the worries of the natives of Nanyang.

But when Zheng Zhilong threw out these five opinions, it really unlocked the knots in many people's hearts.

There is no need to say more about the fact that countries are opening up their trade and communicating with each other.

Zheng Zhilong, in the name of the Nanyang Propaganda Envoy, sent communication officials to the capitals of various countries to exchange news, which is no problem.

Each country, with reference to its own strength, pays an annual fee to fund the activities of this small alliance, which can also be used. What's more, Zheng Zhilong is not taking money for nothing, these money correspond to a different number of places, and countries can send 'international students' to study in 'universities'.

If he is willing to go to Jinling Guozijian, Zheng Zhilong can send him in.

If you don't want to go, you can also study at the military academy run by the Zheng family, or even serve in the Zheng army for internship. Both the navy and the army can.

This is a kind of mutual exchange, which immediately makes those countries who are reluctant to pay for it become willing.

The children of the nobles either want to go to Jinling to gild, or they want to go to the army to learn real skills, this is an opportunity that they can't buy with money.

Not to mention that Zheng Zhilong also promised to help them build a new army, muskets and artillery, and all countries also have the right to buy them, even in limited quantities.

……

That's the way the whole meeting goes, but when it comes to the specific numbers, it takes a long time to meet and discuss.

Therefore, the time of this alliance lasted for half a month.

The "Xinzhou Daily" also took out a large number of pages to publish the decisions and related content of the meeting, and naturally there were also comments and analysis, so that the conference was not over yet, and the entire Xinzhou and half of Nanyang were already discussing.

The sense of security of the Chinese Han is even stronger. Look at those country names, is there any difference? The whole Nanyang has been wiped out, which makes them proud and excited, and at the same time, they also have a feeling that the whole Nanyang is my family's territory.

"Now, the big and small lands of the South Seas are all Zheng Longtou's horses......"

The natives are also happy.

Many of the indigenous merchants who came to trade in NSW thought the covenant was wonderful.

Reciprocal benefit, the tax they have to pay in and out of the port is immediately reduced by a part, which is a real benefit.

Correspondingly, this is the 'high' tariff that Europeans still have, and when they see the same goods, they can pay less taxes than Europeans, and that kind of spiritual comfort and superiority makes them feel so happy.

Johnson's face was confused. He couldn't believe his eyes, but the messenger told him that he had never mistranslated.

"The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence? Is Zheng Zhilong crazy? ”

Isn't his own minions tied up in this way?

In Johnson's eyes, Zheng Zhilong's current strength, he should seek the dominance of the entire South Seas, in a sense, he is also the biggest enemy of the Dutch and the Spaniards.

But now he is going to play with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

In this way, although the entire indigenous country of Nanyang was pulled to his side, isolating the Dutch and Spaniards, it also created a strong cage for himself.

Isn't it worth the loss?

Because in terms of the strength of the Nanyang countries, there is nothing to resist in the face of Zheng Zhilong, he obviously has the possibility of devouring the Nanyang, how can he suddenly restrain his minions?

Some of the news below, Johnson saw in his eyes but didn't take it to heart at all. It was only the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence that worried him the most.

It's a line issue!

Compared with the bloody plunder mode that has been opened all the way since the European voyage, Zheng Zhilong, who is now holding the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence", is as smooth as the Virgin.

Anthony of Batavia was in despair, he didn't want to believe that what he saw was true, but reality told him that it was true.

No wonder he used the "Zheng Zhilong threat theory" to win over the countries of Nanyang, but he only failed again and again, if he could have known Zheng Zhilong's calculations, he would not have wasted his efforts again.

"The only thing we can pray for now is - Zheng Zhilong himself slaps himself in the face."

Fanosini said.

Anthony pressed his brow hard, he knew that Fanosini was right. "You're right, but alas, I shouldn't be able to wait for that day."

Anthony didn't dare to take any more risks. "I must submit my resignation to the board now, or I ......"

He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison.

During his tenure, the situation in the East changed dramatically, the company deteriorated in his hands, and there was no hope of turning defeat into victory.

If such a terrible situation continues, Anthony may be sent to prison for the rest of his life.

"But until my resignation is approved by the distinguished gentlemen of the Board, I would like to see more artillery and German, French, and English soldiers enter China.

Mr. Fanosini, are you confident that you will finish it? ”

Fanosini knew that this was Anthony's revenge on Zheng Zhilong, and he happily accepted the task. Not only will this bring him a great reward, but it will also allow him to leave a dazzling legacy in front of the next governor.

I don't know, but he will soon be able to go to a big hall to be the curator.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, there is new news in New State." The attendant knocked on the door and came in and handed Anthony a letter.

"God, once again I don't want to believe my eyes." Anthony let out of his mouth a panicked sound.

"What happened? Excellency. Fanosini asked nervously.

"The Chinese, united with the two small indigenous states of Sulu and Nibo, declared war on Spain." Anthony continued to panic.

"What about us? What about us? Fanosini's voice also became sharp. No wonder Anthony was so panicked.

"I don't know."
