Chapter 107: The Treaty of Nanjing
(I have something to do today, if I can come back in the evening, there is still a chapter, thank you)
After Jiang Beiming finished speaking, everyone began to discuss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, I'll make a suggestion." Seeing that the traversers were slowly quieting down, Xu Lang said, "It's too late for us to go back and ask the committee." Anyway, now there are people from all walks of life here, and there are quite a few of them, all of our own people have a vote, and if we agree with Tianhao and Beiming's opinions, we will talk to the Vietnamese. If they do not agree, they will be temporarily stationed here, and a ship will be sent back at once to ask for instructions, and the bodies of the wounded and martyrs can be returned at the same time. ”
Han Wantao thought for a while: "I agree with Xu Lang's proposal. ”
"I agree."
"I agree."
As a result of the vote, more than half of the people agreed to Sun Tianhao and Jiang Beiming's proposal, but instead of taking Vietnam, they went to Zheng Jie to negotiate. Because everyone knows that it is simply impossible to take Vietnam. At the same time, the traversers made a resolution to send the Yazhou back, one is to send all the wounded and the remains back, and the other is to report everything that happened here and the resolution made by the traversers to the two committees.
In addition to the wounded and the wounded, there are now 1,300 men of the army, navy, and marine company, and 300 men of the pioneer regiment, a total of 1,600 people. Since some of the formations had been disrupted and some combat units were seriously lacking, in order to prevent another attack by the Vietnamese, Jiang Beiming, Han Wantao, and Zeng Guangxian reorganized the organization.
With only 4 cannons and 60 crew members on board, the Yazhou was led by Zeng Guangxian to transport the wounded back to Yulin Bay. Anyway, the speed of the Yazhou can reach 15 knots, even if it encounters an accident at sea, it can't at least run. Only 60 sailors each of the God and Wanzhou were moored at sea, and all the artillery and the rest of the navy were assigned to artillery.
The 660-strong infantry set up an infantry battalion with 6 companies and a guard platoon of 60 people, and the battalion commander was Lieutenant Colonel Han Wantao. The 360 artillery men were divided into 3 artillery batteries and the artillery battalion was reorganized, and the battalion commander, Captain Wang Zhaoxing, was in charge of all 33 artillery pieces. Lin Zhaolong continued to lead his 120-man Marine Company as a reserve and firefighter. The medical baggage team and logistics work were led by Sun Tianhao and 300 members of the pioneer group. Jiang Beiming was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel of the newly formed mixed regiment, while Xu Lang continued to serve as his major chief of staff.
Because some of the seriously wounded could not withstand the turbulence at sea, Zeng Guangxian and the Yazhou stayed for a few more days. During these days, all the men did not rest, but worked day and night to repair the damaged wall, relocate the artillery, and build an outer wall outside the barracks to increase the defensive strength.
On the morning of the fifth day, the bell rang again at the lookout post. But this time it was not the Vietnamese army that came, and the little old man with a dark face sat in the broken sedan chair and "creaked" to the front of the outer wall of the barracks.
This time, the little old man did not have the arrogance of last time, but got down from the sedan chair, respectfully handed a document to Jiang Beiming, and then spoke Vietnamese.
"Mrs. Yao, what did this little old man say?" Jiang Beiming asked Yao Han.
Yao Hanshi smiled slightly: "Lord Hui, he said that what happened last time was a misunderstanding, and someone was lying about the military situation." They now know that we are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, so they would like to invite you to go to Fucheng the day after tomorrow to speak. ”
"Oh, yes, that's nice, you know who we are." Jiang Beiming smiled, "Mrs. Yao, you ask him, is it he who invited us to Fucheng, or if someone else invited us to go." At the same time, you tell him that if he invited us, then it is not necessary, because he is not qualified enough. ”
Yao Hanshi talked with the little Vietnamese old man for a few more words, then turned to Jiang Beiming and said, "My lord, he said that it was not his invitation, but the invitation of Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital. ”
"Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital?" The traversers at the gate of the camp were all stunned, "Did Jiang Beiming really guess right?" Is the defeated army really Zheng Jie's personal guards? ”
"There's Mrs. Lao Yao." Jiang Beiming arched his hand at Yao Han's family, "Please tell him that we will definitely go to the appointment the day after tomorrow." ”
"Beiming, we can't go, it must be the Hongmen Banquet." sent away the little old man in Vietnam, and all the traversers gathered in the big tent again, and Cheng Yiyi was the first to oppose entering the city the day after tomorrow.
"I don't see it that way." Xu Lang retorted to Cheng Yiyi, "They may be really afraid of us, this is an opportunity, isn't this an opportunity that we are waiting for, how can we talk to the Vietnamese if we don't go into the city?" ”
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Zhaolong regained his grinning personality, "Don't forget, we now have 15 03 rifles, and we can also break through the sea of swords." ”
In the end, the result of the vote was again, Jiang Beiming, Xu Lang, Sun Tianhao and Cheng Yiyi brought Yao Han to form a negotiation team. Lin Zhaolong and Zhang Hai took all the 120 people of the Marine Company and 15 03 rifles, and the 95th squad and Zhou Lei's 2 infantry companies escorted the negotiation team into the city. Han Wantao was temporarily in charge of the barracks, and the 58 high machine was left to Han Wantao. At the same time, Xu Lang received an arduous task to come up with a negotiation outline overnight, and he will negotiate in accordance with the negotiation outline the day after tomorrow.
After three watches, Xu Lang finally put down the pen: "I'm tired to death, I'm finally done, this brush is really hard to use." You all take a look, if it's no problem, let them copy a copy, and let Zeng Guangxian take it back to Yulin Bay. ”
Jiang Beiming, Sun Tianhao and others took a few pieces of paper handed over by Xu Lang, which read:
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent a special envoy to Hainan Wei Baihu Jiang Beiming to inform Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital of Annan.
Our soldiers came here to help you fight and communicate with each other. Unexpectedly, you don't know the power of heaven, provoke the Celestial Empire, destroy my city, and kill my soldiers. Today, my Emperor Longyan is furious, and I hereby tell you and others:
1. Because of the unfairness and coercion of our Ming officials and people, it is necessary to allocate a sergeant to ask for justice, and now it is decided that the navy and army will be 200,000 taels of silver, and you and others will be paid within 3 months.
2, I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Huai'en Yuanrou, in order to help Er'er and other trade matters, Telinger and others opened Hongji, Da Nang, and Puliango as treaty ports. There was no obstacle to trade and commerce, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent consuls, stewards and other officials to live in the three places, specializing in business matters, and communicating with the local officials.
3. Because the Ming merchant ships are far away from the ocean, there are often damage that need to be repaired, so they should be given a place along the coast for repairing the ship and storing the materials used. Today, you need to be divided into a place in the north of Hongji Port in the Ming Dynasty Emperor and the hereditary lord of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuan, who is in charge, and the Ming Dynasty will build its own city and govern it by law.
4. All Ming military and civilian personnel, if they are banned in various places under the jurisdiction of Annan, they can be released if necessary. In the future, all the people of our Ming Dynasty, Annan Kingdom has no right to jurisdiction, if there is a dispute, it needs to be adjudicated by our Ming consul and steward.
5. The above-mentioned statement states that the import and export taxes and fees shall be paid in the three places where the merchants and citizens of the Ming Dynasty live and trade, and the taxes and fees shall be determined by the two parties through negotiation. After the Ming goods are taxed according to the rules in a port, they are allowed to be transported all over the world by the Ming merchants, and the customs through which the road passes through shall not increase the tax regulations, but only according to the valuation rules, and the tax will not be excessive every two.
All of the above articles are related to discussions and offers, and should be agreed by King Zheng Jieming of the Qing capital of Annam. My Ming Dynasty will soon arrive with a million soldiers, and if you have any excuses, the jade will be burned, and the rubble will not remain, and the Celestial Empire will not be informed.
February 11, 4th year of Chongzhen"
Sun Tianhao shook his head after reading it: "Brother Xu, what have you written here, I will understand that a navy army fee of 200,000 taels of silver will be paid within 3 months." Besides, if you write in Chinese characters, can Vietnamese people understand it? ”
"You don't know." "Basically, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the official documents of the Vietnamese and Koreans were written in Chinese characters and learned from us. “
Jiang Beiming couldn't cry or laugh: "Even if the Vietnamese can understand it, what are you writing here, an ultimatum or the "Treaty of Nanjing"?" ”
"Beiming, I didn't expect you to be really literate." Xu Lang smiled: "I picked it up according to the "Nanjing Treaty", but I transferred it one by one, let's be British once, and let the Vietnamese be Manchu once." “
"Xu Lang." Han Wantao was a little hesitant after reading it, "If it can really be like what I said above, then it will be really worth it for us to come to Vietnam this time." But if you do this, then the problem will be big. ”
"It's a big problem." Xu Lang said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we came to Vietnam in a mixed camp this time, originally because we wanted to get some coal and some food. No one expected that as soon as they came ashore, they would fight such a solid battle, and all our troops in Yulin Bay are basically here. If the situation is really as Bei Ming said, we are defeating the most elite troops in Vietnam, then we must seize this opportunity. There is no time to lose, and it is not impossible to colonize Vietnam once. ”
"I think so." Jiang Beiming said, "Since the current situation has far exceeded our expectations, Xu Lang is right, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come." The day after tomorrow, the negotiation will give them this first, see their reaction, and then fight another battle if it is the worst. ”
The traversers prepared for another day, and raised all the questions they could think of to discuss them. Early in the morning of the third day, at the request of Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao, all the soldiers changed into cleaned military uniforms and began to prepare for departure, so as not to damage the military prestige of the Ming Empire.
The little old man of Vietnam came to the gate of the barracks early in the morning to lead the way, and more than 300 soldiers walked with neat steps against their guns for most of the day before they came to the so-called capital city of Vietnam that the little old man said.
Lin Zhaolong removed the machine gun from his shoulder and looked up at the city in front of him: "This is the capital city of Vietnam?" Isn't it much bigger than our family? ”
Everyone followed the little old man into the city, and Lin Zhaolong and a few people suddenly disappeared.
"What kind of place is this? Why is it so small, not much bigger than a village? Jiang Beiming asked Xu Lang secretly.
"I don't know." Xu Lang said, "But depending on the situation, it should be near Hongji Port in the future." Even in later generations, Hongji Port has a population of only a few hundred thousand, let alone now. ”
Everyone stood in front of a relatively large courtyard in the center of the city, and Yao Hanshi said to Jiang Beiming and the others: "They said that Zheng Jie, the king of Qingdu, was waiting for us inside, let us in." ”
Jiang Beiming touched the hand belt on his waist: "Zhou Lei, take someone to guard outside." Zhang Hai, take our people in. ”
Jiang Beiming was just about to take a step after speaking, when a Vietnamese man came over and stopped him.
The Vietnamese pointed to Jiang Beiming's hand, meaning that he could not carry weapons into it. Jiang Beiming laughed contemptuously, turned to Yao Han and said, "Mrs. Yao, please tell the people of Annan that if we want to get our weapons, we don't have to talk about anything." ”
After listening to Yao Han's translation, the Vietnamese stared at Jiang Beiming for a while. No one cared, the Vietnamese suddenly jumped up, stretched out the five fingers of his left hand to grab Jiang Beiming's wrist, but his right hand quickly stretched out to the fire system on Jiang Beiming's waist.
It was too late, it was fast, and everyone didn't react, so they heard a "click" sound of bones breaking, and the Vietnamese flew out heavily, and Zhang Hai's right leg was raised straight up and stretched forward.
Sun Tianhao pulled out his hand and put it on the head of the little Vietnamese old man, regardless of whether the Vietnamese could understand Chinese or not, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't move, whoever moves will kill him." ”
