Half a month later.

"That's it!"

Yang Qing looked at the report sent by Xiamen with satisfaction.

After holding a five-day meeting or arguing for five days, the Guangdong Consultative Bureau finally chose to accept his request in its entirety. Guangzhou Customs was transferred to the General Taxation Department, the Navy Division was transferred to the Nanyang Navy Division, Guangdong Qianzhuang Industry was brought under the supervision of the Imperial Bank, the Imperial Bank entered Guangdong, and the Guangdong gentry undertook to purchase 2 million yuan of Qin Wang's special treasury bonds for the Western Expedition......

All in all.

In exchange for the Ming army withdrawing from Xin'an, the Ming army, which had also arrived in Shaoguan and began to set up artillery, also withdrew to Nanxiong.

As for the Dutch......

"Forget it, it's not easy for them to run tens of thousands of miles to ask for money, if the Dutch East India Company is willing to pay 300,000 dong in compensation for the previous irrational behavior of the Ming Navy, then Hong Kong Island still allows them to do business and live. However, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they have no right to own the fixed assets on the land of the Ming Dynasty, so the port houses they built before will be recovered, and a separate direct jurisdiction of the prison state will be established there to manage them. But they are allowed to continue to use these facilities, and even more similar facilities can be built by the prison state in the future according to their application to help them do business in Hong Kong, of course, they need to pay rent, and they also need to pay taxes according to the law and abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Qing said generously.

It is not cost-effective to drive the Dutch away.

These guys are still the largest foreign trade partners of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the goods exported to Europe by the Ming Dynasty are transshipped by coachmen at sea, and a trading port that allows them to live and do business is beneficial to both sides.

Hong Kong Island is a great choice.

And not only the Dutch, but other European merchants could go to Hong Kong, which could be completely turned into a free port, where merchant ships from all European countries could anchor and do business, and they could live there. The Portuguese in Macau have always been unwelcoming to other countries, and they caused trouble in the conflict between the Ming and the British, even though the Portuguese government had ordered them to help the British, and the local Portuguese in Macao still disobeyed the Yin. Therefore, there must be a separate free port outside of Macau, one that is truly open to all European countries, and then Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best choice.

You know, at this time, all the countries of Europe were embarking on a voyage to the East.

France, Denmark, Sweden......

All shouted slogans to the East.

This is especially true of France, although the earliest French merchant ships to China in history were in 1690, in fact, French merchants organized Chinese companies in 1660s. Their backstage funder was the French power that controlled Cardinal Mazarin, the villain of the Three Musket Procedure Collections. It has to be said that Alexandre Dumas blackened Richelieu and Mazarin, arguably the most outstanding prime ministers of France, to the point of madness, but because of Mazarin's illness and the sinking of the first merchant ships of the Chinese company in a storm, the arrival of France in China was delayed by 30 years.

But this time it should be accelerated.

After all, the British have accelerated, the French will not lag behind, and Mazarin, who has a personal fortune of 30 million livres, will not watch the tea pouring into Europe drain France's purse.

All European merchant ships will come at an accelerated pace.

After all, the reason why they were greatly delayed in history was only because of the sea ban on Kang Mazi, but now the Ming Dynasty not only did not have a sea ban, but also welcomed them with open arms, so the European merchants led by France would not lag behind Britain and the Netherlands. Yang Qingde prepared a port for them in advance that was completely open to them......

Then he just became a landlord and a landlord.

The Europeans could use the port, but the houses they lived in, the facilities they used, all belonged to him, and they had to pay rent to him, and at the same time they had to pay taxes, so that they could expand their trade and serve as cows.

This is the most reasonable way to play.

Of course, the Nanyang Naval Division also wants to build a naval base there.

Hong Kong is a top-notch deep-water port.

The battleships of the Nanyang Naval Division could have been stationed there in the future, and it was for this reason that the British originally wanted to be there in history, and the Pearl River Estuary also had to face sediment accumulation, and the decline of Macao was largely due to the sedimentation of the shipping channel. The Ming Navy does not need to maintain a battlefleet north of the Taiwan Strait in the future, and there is no enemy in the north, just to bully the Japanese state, those cruisers are enough, and the enemy who can drive the battleships can only go north from the South China Sea.

The Hong Kong base is blocking the door to the Taiwan Strait.

"300,000 is less, right?"

Stilwell said suspiciously.

Hundreds of thousands of indemnities are simply insulting to the image of the country!

"There are a lot, the Dutch are very calculating, they make millions a year in the East, they have islands in the north, Guangzhou next to them, and various ports along the coast. They do need Hong Kong Island, after all, there are many restrictions on them at various ports, but it is not that Hong Kong is not lacking, they simply give up if they want too much, and they have to go with them for a long time! ”

Yang Qing said.

It is also a science to pay compensation.

If you want too much, the other party will break up, and if you want too little, you will suffer a loss, and you must consider the other party's ability to accept, for example, the Guangdong gentry can grit their teeth to accept the compensation of one million, and the Dutch can grit their teeth to accept the compensation of 300,000, but he wants to find the Guangdong gentry for three million, and the Dutch for one million, then they will not play with him. In the final analysis, the Cantonese gentry are not without the strength to fight, and it is not so easy to open the two fortresses of Shaoguan and Humen, and the Dutch are not saying that they can't do without Hong Kong, these two figures are the limits of what they can accept.

If Guangdong solves it like this, then the next one will be Guangxi.

"Order the Marines to move to Qiongzhou."

Yang Qing said.

"The First Army of the Marine Corps has all passed, and before the wind changes, the First Army of the Marine Corps will move to Qiongzhou, and in the future, Qiongzhou will be the main base, and in addition to transporting more materials there as much as possible, it is necessary to reserve materials in Qiongzhou for an army to continue fighting for more than half a year."

He then added.

This is enough to scare King Jingjiang.

It is not advisable to attack Guangxi from the northern front, there are two roads from Hunan to Guangxi, the first is the main channel, that is, the spiritual channel, Yanguan is stuck in the middle, and the other is a small road, which belongs to the logistics can not really be guaranteed, that is, the Longhu Pass in the northeast of Guangxi. In that year, the Mongols attacked Guangxi, Ali Hague was in Yanguan and could not open the defense line of Maji, and finally took advantage of the Mongolian cavalry advantage to detour through Longhu Pass and enter Pingle to attack Guilin from the flank and rear, forcing Maji to have to return to the defense and finally martyred in Guilin. Originally, in history, Li Dingguo broke through the Yan Pass, and forced Kong Youde to commit suicide by capturing Guilin in one fell swoop, but at this time, King Jingjiang had already built the fortress in the two passes, especially the Yan Pass had completely reached the standard of large European fortresses.

King Jingjiang built a three-story fortress there to control the Ling Canal, and all the money he had spent in Guangxi over the years was spent on 10,000 new troops and this fortress.

The Ming army had previously conducted deductions.

If you want to break through the Yanguan, you must pile up all the invincible general cannons and forty-pound mortar cannons as well as the attack on the city of Gelanza, and then rely on the financial resources of the Ming army to continue to bombard. Under the condition that the logistics of this line can be guaranteed at present, it will take at least half a year to shoot at least 100,000 artillery shells before it can be smashed open......

There is an example of the battle of Relansha City, and the Ming army also has a great headache about this thing, and Yanguan is actually stronger than Gelanza City.

Of course, Shaoguan is similar.

Therefore, Yang Qing was also not prepared to attack Guangxi from the north head-on, and he did not need to be so troublesome, how good it would be to attack directly from the back, how good it would be to land from Qinzhou and go straight to Nanning, and then force the king of Jingjiang to accept those conditions similar to those of Guangdong in the same way. If he did not agree, he would go north from Nanning and fight the local tyrants against the gentry in Guangxi, anyway, they could already be regarded as rebels, so they confiscated their land and property on the grounds of their rebellion and set up imperial villages around Nanning. Let those poor people grow grass in their hearts, let Guangxi ignite a raging wildfire, the king of Jingjiang and the gentry of Guangxi were disobedient and let the fire continue to burn, all the way to Guilin, burning their bones without remaining.

If King Jingjiang accepts these conditions, then it can be suspended.

However, the Ming army had to forcibly garrison Nanning and build a road from Qinzhou to Nanning in order to receive supplies from the north through Qiongzhou, and then build a real base in Nanning, using the two bases of Hainan Island and Nanning to target the two Guangxi from behind, and at the same time deter Vietnam in the south.

Even though Guangxi was the domain of King Jingjiang, it was reasonable for the imperial army's army to set up a metropolitan division in Nanning in order to assist the border defense.

After all, the situation in Guangxi is different.

To the south of this is Vietnam, and Vietnam is the Later Lê Dynasty at this time, but in fact it is the period when the Zheng lord coerced his monarch and fought with the Nguyen lord and the Nguyen lord in the south. The two families of Zheng Ruan began to fight each other in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and fought seven major battles in the past fifty years, and finally did not fight until 1672, or admitted to each other the fact that neither could help the other. In the same period, there was also the previous usurper Mo family to divide Gaoping, this family was dependent on the Ming Dynasty, and the Mo family was also because of the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, forcing the Zheng lord to seal an official to be able to divide Gaoping, the original history of the Mo family later attached to the Tatar Qing, but followed Wu Sangui and finally lost the support of the Tatar Qing and was broken by the Zheng family's army to break Gaoping.

However, the Mo family still fled to Longzhou, and was finally captured by Tatar Qing and handed over to the Zheng family.

Now Vietnam is so chaotic, the Ming Dynasty will definitely garrison troops in Nanning, this is not to rob the fiefdom of the King of Jingjiang, this is to protect the King of Jingjiang, to avoid the war in Vietnam affecting the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time to interfere in Vietnam when needed, after all, it is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. So the king of Jingjiang should thank the Ming army and pay for the protection, if he doesn't pay, those Ming soldiers will be angry, and then they will go from Nanning to Guilin to find him and nag when they are angry......

Well, in this way, King Jingjiang will also be sucked dry. ()
