Zhao Xing slowly restrained his smile and said coldly: "The Buddha also has angry eyes---- you just said that those people sitting on the canoe are your citizens?" Great, my Great Song Dynasty merchant has been repeatedly attacked by pirates in this sea area, even my boat has been frequently attacked, I am looking for these pirates everywhere, at the beginning of the year, the Champa country did not want to hand over those pirates, I destroyed their country, are you sure that those pirates outside are your nationals? ”

How can the officials of Bo Niguo answer these words, if he admits that those people belong to his own people, then Zhao Xing has just a reason to be mad; But if you don't admit this, you have to watch Zhao Xing massacre on the docks outside the national capital.

How can there be such a reason in the world, how can there be a blockage at the door of people's homes, slaughtering people passing by, and shouting that they are here to do business, the official of the Bo Ni country asked angrily: "My lord, if you do this, I don't know how history will tell?" ”

"History is written with the hand holding the knife", Zhao Xing tore off his disguise and replied coldly: "Although it is said that the text of history is written with a pen, after all, it is the hand holding the knife that directs those who hold the pen to write---- it has always been like this, without exception." ”

The official of Bo Ni Country gasped for a long time, and asked angrily: "What do you need?" ”

Zhao Xing replied slowly: "To put it simply: extraterritoriality." If I have to explain it in detail, then I can tell you: I heard that my Song merchants have been operating here for a hundred years, but they are not qualified to buy property in the country of Boni. Many Song merchants had to find a man of Bo Ni and put their property in their name. In this way, the Bo Ni people frequently embezzled the property of our Song merchants, and it was a legal embezzlement.

I came this time to seek extraterritoriality, to put it simply: it was me, or Song Shang, who bought a piece of your land. Run your own business, manage your own business, and then pay taxes to you according to the rules. Of course, if you think this behavior is a little more complicated. Let's think of a simpler solution: rent.

Along the Brunei River, the Song merchant gathering area is about three miles long, and you can rent these three miles to us, and I will pay you the rent every year, including taxes. The concession is managed by ourselves, and you must not use any means to prevent people from entering the concession area---- this is my request, it is simple, and it is not troublesome to implement at all. ”

The officials didn't expect Zhao Xing's request to be so simple, and they were stunned for a moment. Thinking left and right, he couldn't see clearly what trap was hidden in Zhao Xingdi's request, and after a moment of silence, the official replied: "My lord, have you obtained the permission of your country's officials to do this?" ”

Zhao Xing opened his teeth and replied, "I forgot to tell you." I am a merchant and an official at the same time, and the trade affairs in the Quang Nam area happen to be under my charge, and I have given me permission to do this, do you have any questions? ”

The officer gasped. Answer: "My lord, we can consider your conditions, and from my personal point of view, we can promise you, isn't it just a matter of money (rent)?" But please stop the shelling, and please give us a little time to give you a formal reply. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the artillery fire of the entire fleet stopped.

The officials of the country bowed and said goodbye, and when they landed. He saw several Song merchants heading towards Zhao Xing's ship in small boats, and when the ship of the Bo Ni official staggered with the Song Shang, the Song Shang on the opposite side bowed to him, and the Bo Ni official glared angrily and passed by the Song Shang angrily.

The nervous Song merchants climbed onto Zhao Xingdi to sit on the boat, Zhao Xing greeted these merchants warmly, poured a cup of fragrant tea for the Song merchants with a teapot in his hand, and then asked with a smile: "Do you have all the stone resin I need?" This. My fleet can haul about 6,000 materials (3,000 tons), do you have enough cargo? ”

Song Shang first carefully answered Zhao Xing's doubts about the location of the goods. Then he asked more carefully: "My lord, we just saw the officials of Bo Ni leaving angrily, will they trouble us afterwards?" ”

Zhao Xing returned to his seat, stretched his waist lazily, and replied, "There is no equality between the lion and the lamb. Now that I'm a lion, they have no choice. ”

A businessman said cautiously, "But, ...... when the adults leave."

Zhao Xing shook his head and replied: "I plan to buy the land of Sanlidi along the Brunei River, and set up an overseas trading territory on this land, and the officials of the Great Song City Department will send a supervisor to be in charge of local tax matters. At the same time, I allow you to hire soldiers to defend yourself, and in the event of an assault, you can call for help from the Quang Nam East Road Transit Division. ”

The few Song merchants who met him were still nervous, Zhao Xing picked up his teacup and said with a smile: "Conquest is a complicated matter. But first and foremost the conquest of culture. I plan to build a thirty-meter-high bell tower here, and the room under the bell tower will be used as the official office of the overseas trading lords of Bo Ni. I'm going to make this bell tower extremely majestic, and I'm going to add lightning rods and other equipment.

This bell tower is used to reflect the advantages of our culture, what is culture, is our creativity, we have the ability to build a tower high into the clouds, so that all the people of Bo Ni look up at this tower, from the heart of our culture in awe--- this is what I should do, the rest of the land is what you should do.

There are two aspects you have to do: first, try to show your local culture to the people of Boni, such as our festival celebrations, such as our food culture, such as our opera, our melodious singing and music; Second, it is necessary for the elites of their countries to accept our education and accept our influence, so as to have a sense of identity and belonging to our culture from the heart.

The specific method is: the imperial court has a four-festival float parade a year, and Bo Ni should also be carried out, to fully show the local people our civilization inheritance, in addition, you can support some people from Bo Ni to come to my Great Song Dynasty to study.

I can give you 20 to 100 study tours every year, and use the name of your ordinary businessmen to fund the children of the chief of Boni, and this money, including all your previous festival expenses, can be deducted from taxes, and I can reimburse you for the accounts of Guangnan East Road......

The official offices set up in Boni are mainly managed by you, and you recruit guards to maintain local law and order, in other words: the officials are sent by me. Officials, go out on your own, and you will govern this land by yourselves. And the soldiers you recruit can be counted as my official military establishment in Guangnan, and I recognize their status as Great Song officials......

You have to have a good relationship with the local area. You can even recruit some locals to help you maintain your ---- I won't interfere with the specific instructions, you will elect a mayor by yourself to oversee all the affairs of the city, and I will give him the official body of the nine grades." He needs to cooperate with the supervisor I sent, but my supervisor does not manage specific affairs, and his existence is to supervise and reflect the existence of the Great Song government......"

Zhao Xing briefly described Guangnan's plans for Bo Ni, and then waved his hand to order those Song merchants to retreat, and when those Song merchants retreated. Still not at ease, he asked worriedly: "My lord, if you block the port and bombard the fishing boat, the officials of the country will ......."

Zhao Xing waved his hand to interrupt his words and replied: "I just said that the conquest is divided into several aspects, and you will help me achieve the cultural offensive." But all civil attacks in the world need to be protected by force, and what I am showing them now is force.

Rest assured, they will better respect this treaty when they know of our force. For this is an agreement between the lion and the Lamb, and the Lamb can only seize this covenant. In order to ensure the safety of your own life, you can let your hands and feet be done. ”

Not long after the group of Song merchants returned, Zhao Xing's boat began to lower the boat and landed on the house of the Song merchants in Boni, and the team entered the house of a Song merchant, and the soldiers reported: "My lord, the city of Bo Ni has sent troops, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and I can't count how many people!" ”

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare to fight." You lead people to set up skirmishers. Order their army to stop advancing, and I give you the freedom to fire. ”

Soon after Zhao Xing's order was given, the merchants of Boni Song City had already gathered around the house where he was, and soon, the cannon fire of the Song army outside the market rang out, and the cannon fire rumbled three rounds, and gradually subsided, and it was twilight. Song Jundu led the two generals into Zhao Xing's room with the official who had previously talked to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing saw these officials come in. didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to chat with Song Shang. A general was furious, took a step forward, and shouted: "Your Excellency, is this still our land?" Why can't our army enter this land? ”

"Not anymore", Zhao Xing replied lightly: "Within the range of my cannon, the truth is written by me." ”

"Sir, we didn't negotiate the lease of this land just now," replied the official who had just spoken to Zhao Xing.

"I'm an impatient", Zhao Xing honestly admitted: "I'm busy, I can't afford it, so I let the army go ashore first and realize my rule." ”

Another officer reminded Zhao Xing: "Your Excellency, we have a lot of troops, but I think you only brought a few hundred men. ”

Zhao Xing pointed to the sea outside the dock, where most of the ships had already anchored, and he said calmly: "There are thirty warships outside this port, and there are still thousands of people on them. If that's not enough, a little farther away, I have 100 million people in Da Song. 100 million people, isn't that enough?

As I just said, I am here to do business, a small country with a history of writing for only 200 years, and a population of only more than 300,000, while the history of writing in the Song Dynasty has been more than 2,000 years, we have a population of 100 million, and we have a culture of 2,400 years. I don't think it's too much---- you mud merchants are getting supra-national treatment in our country, don't you know the return? ”

An officer replied, "My lord, we feel humiliated and unjust to reach an agreement under the sword

Zhao Xing squinted his eyes at these high-ranking officials, all three of whom were wearing silk clothes from the Great Song Dynasty. It was hot and they were all wearing shorts and a skeletal shirt. At this time, Islam had not yet reached this place, so the text of Bo Ni was in Indian Brahmanical script, and he was dressed like an Indian, wrapped in a large bun.

The conversation of these people has subverted Zhao Xing's original understanding of Bo Ni, in his imagination, it seems that the Ming Dynasty Bo Ni people still seem very ignorant, but I didn't expect that they were in the Song Dynasty, and the conversation was already very organized.

This is the Su Shi era in East Asia, that is, the "flamenco era of East Asia", --- likes to live generously, fanatically, boldly and uninhibited.

Zhao Xing didn't know that the group of people in front of him had been in contact with China as early as the Tang Dynasty, but they also ended up in the category of genocide and cultural genocide, and they eventually failed under the invasion of religion, and later the culture was redeveloped. It was not until modern archaeological excavations that it was re-identified that the people of Bo Ni Island were deeply influenced by Indian culture, had a high degree of civilization, and had their own writing and philosophy......

Zhao Xing said slowly, with an arrogant expression: "I'm sorry, your opinion is different from mine, I think that the agreement reached under the sword can last for a long time." Ladies and gentlemen, what I give you is an agreement of the Song people, we Song merchants have been wronged and humiliated, but I am still very humble, and I humbly ask you to allow the Song merchants to buy the land where they live, and humbly agree to continue to pay taxes or rent to you.

My lords, you all know what kind of treatment your merchants enjoy in our country. I only ask for equal treatment. Ladies and gentlemen, isn't this a gentleman's agreement, it seems to me that it is simply too gentlemanly. As for my cannon, that's to add a back to this gentleman's agreement.

Adults, throw away your grievances, your grievances have only been one day, and my Song Shang's grievances have lasted for a hundred years. But now is not a good time to talk about the past, let's talk about the future: in the future, you will sell us this land, or rent it to us. We don't have to trouble you to manage it, but we will send people to manage the whole market, and then humbly admit your right to rule, and bow to your authority in the form of rent or taxes.

Isn't that enough? As I believe you know, your walls are like papier-mâché in front of my cannons, and your soldiers are like scarecrows in front of my soldiers...... It was decided that if there was to be a battle, my soldiers would inform the ships on the surface to evacuate after inflicting maximum damage on you, but when the fleets returned, they would lead an army beyond your imagination. The upper limit of the number of this team is the population of my Great Song Dynasty: 100 million.

Come, my lords, sign, the world is inherently unfair, but now I am willing to bow my head and humbly sign an equal treaty with you, what are you waiting for, waiting for my wrath? ”

The people of Bo Ni really couldn't withstand the wrath of the Great Song.

With a population of 300,000, Bo Ni is not so much a country as a city. Due to the abundance of tropical materials, most of the Boni people are lazy, and they do not have the courage and will to fight to the end. These three Bo Ni officials just wanted to maintain their last face, and under Zhao Xing's unyielding attitude, they held out for a short time and gave in.

"Okay, my lord, we can lease the land along the river to the merchants of your country, and for that, you need to ......", the official hesitated, as if he was worried that Zhao Xing would have any objections to the rent.

Zhao Xing did have objections, he cut off the words of the official and interjected: "100,000 copper plates---- I think this price is very fair, there is no need to discuss it!" ”

100,000 copper plates, which sounds like a terrifying number, is actually a hundred.

This is justice under the cannon!

What can Bo Ni Guo say?
