Chapter 319: The Peace of Kuala Terengganu
In order to show the sincerity of the negotiations, Gao Junshan released all the Dutch prisoners. In fact, it is nothing if these captives do not let them go, and they also waste food.
The negotiations did not go well at first, and the terms of the negotiations between the two sides were very different, and the East India Company's condition was that Huaxia withdrew from Johor, which was absolutely impossible; The condition of the Huaxia State was that the East India Company withdraw from Batavia and hand over control of the Strait of Malacca to the Huaxia State.
While the negotiations were still ongoing, the Fifth Marine Brigade drove the Dutch, more than 5,000 men from the East India Company, into a ravine.
Gao Junshan told the Dutch that there was no food in the ravine, and if the negotiations did not come out, the lives of these people would be difficult to say.
After more than 10 days of bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
The Netherlands handed over 100% of the management of Johor to Huaxia, which allowed the Netherlands to continue to exist in Batavia, but their branch in the island country had to be withdrawn and handed over to Huaxia International Trading Company.
On December 1, 1654, the two sides signed a "Peace Treaty of Guala Terengganu", which stipulated that the Strait of Malacca was under the jurisdiction of China, and all Dutch ships passing through the Strait of Malacca must be inspected by the Huaxia Navy, and in accordance with the provisions of the Huaxia Customs Decree, pay customs duties to the Huaxia Customs, and all Dutch ships passing through the Strait of Malacca must abide by the embargo of the Huaxia Customs, and if any goods that are found that are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving China, the Huaxia State has the right to confiscate them. Huaxia recognized the East India Company in Batavia and allowed the East India Company to conduct normal trade between Southeast Asia and Asia.
On the day the peace treaty was signed, Gao Junshan ordered the Fifth Marine Brigade to release more than 5,000 Dutch people in the ravine.
After the peace treaty was signed, Gao Junshan did not stop at Kuala Terengganu, but continued southward, and the battleship group docked at Temasek, and Gao Junshan disembarked from the battleship and landed on the land of the Nanyang island nation.
Temasek is Singapore, and Singapore at this time was called Temasek by the Chinese.
This is also a small fishing village, Gao Junshan came here by speedboat, followed by Sun Dahai, Liu Wenxiu, Hong Pengju, Tian Qiliang four senior staff.
Sun Dahai said: "Father, this place is so desolate, let's change the place, right?!" ”
"Somewhere else?" Gao Junshan waved his hand, "Don't underestimate this place, this is a treasure land, and if there are conditions in the future, I will build the railway and build a railway station here." Do you know what this place is called? ”
"I don't know." The four shook their heads in unison.
Gao Junshan said: "It's called Singapore." ”
"Singapore?" The four of them are extremely consistent.
"Yes, I'm going to name this place Singapore now." The more Gao Junshan spoke, the more excited he became, "You all listen, we will camp here tonight." ”
The emperor gave an order, and who dared not to listen. Sun Dahai immediately mobilized a battalion of marines to station in Singapore to protect the safety of Gao Junshan.
The entire Malay Peninsula was originally a Dutch colony, but now all of it is under the rule of the Chinese Kingdom, and Gao Junshan is considering how to manage these places.
He also knew very well that these places could not be directly assigned to China and become a province of China like Jiaozhi and Donghu, because the ethnic groups and customs, including beliefs and religions, were very different from those of China, and they were too far away from the capital to manage, so he decided to make the Malay Peninsula a colony of China and send a governor to manage it.
It is necessary to consider the choice of the governor again, and the governor here is completely different from the governor of Champang, Champa is only a very small place, the Malay Peninsula here can include several small countries, Singapore, Malacca, Johor, Jincheng, Perak, Songcheng, Kedah and other countries, all of which are subject to the control of this governor, and these small countries are adjacent to Donghu and have a close relationship with the Chinese state, and more importantly, the geographical location here is very important, and it is an important channel for Chinese maritime trade.
After much thought, he decided to transfer his eldest son, Gao Hongbing, to serve as governor of the Malay Peninsula. Gao Hongbing has served as an envoy to North Korea for many years, and he has not held an important position in the army, so he is much less murderous than Sun Dahai and Liu Wenxiu.
If you want to adopt a soft policy towards the Malay Peninsula, only Gao Hongbing is the best candidate. Besides, Gao Hongbing has also moved a place for him to exercise his talents, and Huaxia Kingdom will definitely be handed over to his sons in the future.
Gao Junshan left the Fifth Marine Brigade behind, and together with Feng Shuangli's army in the south, he controlled the situation in this area, although there were many Chinese here, but there were also many Western immigrants and local natives, these people did not necessarily obey the management of the Chinese, and there was a strong army stationed here, so they couldn't help but be disobedient.
After Gao Junshan arranged all this, he left Sun Dahai in Singapore, Sun Dahai's task was to assist the incoming Gao Hongbing, and his order to Sun Dahai was to help Gao Hongbing on his horse and give him a ride.
Singapore is separated by the Strait of Johor in the north, adjacent to the country of Johor, facing the country of Java in the south, adjacent to the southern mouth of the Strait of Malacca, and is located in the throat of the Strait of Malacca, so its strategic location is very important. This is also the reason why Gao Junshan left Sun Dahai here.
Boarding the battleship, the battleship group continued north, through the Strait of Malacca, to the country of Perak.
The relationship between Perak and Johor is very close, and their previous kings were two brothers.
As early as 1511, after Malacca was occupied by the Portuguese, the king of Malacca, Sultan Mamaha Shah, escaped the pursuit of the Portuguese and eventually fled to Bintan Island, Johor, and founded the Johor Dynasty.
Although he had a place to live, Sultan Mamad Shah also tried to pay off the blood debt from the Portuguese, determined to take back the castle of Malacca from the Portuguese.
In 1526, the Portuguese sent a fleet from Goa, India, to attack and destroy Bintan Island, and after Sultan Mamaha was defeated again, he fled to Gampa, Sumatra, where he died in 1528.
His eldest son, Sultan Ala-uddin II, carried on his legacy to re-establish the Johor dynasty, while his brother Sultan Mushafasah went to Perak to establish the Perak dynasty.
So Perak and Johor are related, Ko Jun San took over the Dutch rule in Johor, and Perak was also taken over by the Chinese State.
After Gao Junshan landed in Perak, the king of Perak, who got the news, led his ministers on the dock to warmly greet the emperor of the Yellow Empire.
