The negotiations between the ASEAN parties and the Japanese representatives at Chunfan Tower in Tianjin did not attract much attention at first. Please Baidu search (product book network) to see the most complete! The fastest update! Although many Ming merchants had heard that the owner of the Guangxing had not only taken back the ship's cargo but also received compensation, they did not feel that the war would have anything to do with them.

Until the Japanese representative signed the "Tianjin Treaty", the treaty stipulated: Japan compensated the Ming Dynasty with 12 million yuan; compensated 8 million yuan to the Dutch East India Company and obtained a 39-year lease on Sado Island; compensation of 4.5 million yuan to the Kingdom of Spain; compensation of $2.5 million to the British East India Company; compensation of 5 million yuan to the Kingdom of Portugal; compensation of 20 million yuan to the Kingdom of Korea; Compensation of 4 million yen to the people of the Ryukyus and the return of the northern islands occupied by Japan. In addition, Japan agreed to fully liberalize free trade to ASEAN members and limit import and export tariffs to 5%.

The total amount of compensation in the treaty amounted to 56 million yuan, and Japan decided to borrow 60 million yuan from a banking group composed of the Central Bank of Daming, the Bank of Shanxi, the Bank of Communications, and the Overseas Trade Bank of Daming at an annual interest rate of 4.5 percent, which would be repaid in 30 years, using the 13 million taels of silver, copper, Iwami and other silver mountains seized by the allied forces, as well as domestic and foreign customs duties, as collateral.

While the people of Gyeonggi were still speculating about whether the Japanese would be able to repay the loan, factories and commercial companies in Beijing and Tianjin had already begun to receive large orders. Obviously, the Dutch, Spaniards, and British were afraid that the banknotes they got would depreciate, so they couldn't wait to wave the cheques awarded by the Daming Bank after the treaty was signed, and swept the Gyeonggi market on a large scale, pushing up prices by 30%.

If it weren't for Chongzhen sending someone to personally interview the three parties to ensure that their banknotes would not depreciate, so that they stopped the frantic sweeping operation, it would really be possible to cause the first economic crisis in the Gyeonggi region. The injection of tens of millions of currency liquidity immediately promoted the economic development of Gyeonggi, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi.

The merchants in the north of the Ming Dynasty found that they could make money no matter what they invested in production this year, and there was no better year for Chongzhen for five years. In the past, raw materials were produced in the north and manufactured in the south, but this year, raw materials are transported from the south to the north for production.

In addition to the great development of civil industry and commerce, the imperial court also obtained a windfall, and most of the indemnity of the Korean Kingdom was transferred to the household department as the military expenses of the Korean Kingdom to request the help of the Ming Dynasty.

This fund soon became the capital to start the comprehensive construction of the Luanhe Bridge and the railways between Beijing and Zhangjiakou and Beijing and Jinzhou. These key projects have provided a lot of business opportunities for the villages and towns along the way, and also made the people in Hebei feel for the first time that Chongzhen's five-year prosperity can catch up with the good years when the Wanli New Deal was just implemented.

For the first time, the people in the north, who hated the war, thanked the Ming Navy for the victory over the Japanese for the first time. It was also in this year that the number of students applying for the Naval Academy began to grow significantly.

At the turn of the spring and summer of the fifth year of Chongzhen, whether it was a merchant or a court official in the capital, the most discussed thing was not the small imperial examination of that year, but the details of this war against Japan. Many businessmen began to look at the world outside the Ming Dynasty, and they no longer thought that overseas was a wild place without any security.

It should be said that the most shocked by the imperial court were the officials of the household department, who shook their heads and spat on the behavior of those Western barbarians who extorted money from Japan, while constantly writing to the emperor to discuss the issue of reparations. The household officials headed by Guo Yunhou believed that in addition to the 16 million yuan of military expenses handed over by the Korean kingdom, the 12 million yuan that Japan paid to the Ming Dynasty, the 4 million yuan that Japan paid to the Ryukyus, and even the 5 million yuan that it paid to Portugal should also be included in the national treasury.

While the Cabinet and other ministries and the Army General Staff were speaking out from the position of the household department, they were privately discussing how to divide up the huge sums of money. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Navy Military Command Department, the East China Sea Patrol Office, the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the Foreign Trade Merchants Association are naturally unwilling to give in, after all, these parties have invested a lot of manpower and resources, and how can they be given to the imperial court that has done nothing in vain with the results.

The quarrel between the two sides soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the southern gentry and the relatives of Nanjing, who had not eaten any benefits, believing that the officials under the court only knew how to chase the copper smell and stayed away from the teachings of the saints, which was a sign that the country would not be a country. As a result, the northern and southern scholars, who had a lot of differences because of the Yanshenggong incident, quarreled fiercely because of this incident, which led to a greater contradiction between the two sides.

For the Dutch representative Putmans and the British representative Methwald, the Japanese borrowed money from the Ming banking syndicate and finally made them understand the Ming Dynasty's restrained position in the negotiations. The interest of the 60 million loan is 2.7 million yuan at 4.5% per year, and the cumulative interest alone has reached 71 million yuan in 30 years, exceeding the principal income.

Japan's annual income is between 21 million and 23 million taels of silver, and since nearly one-third of its income comes from the mining of gold and silver mines, Japan's annual financial surplus is still very generous, basically between 4 million and 5 million taels of silver, which is converted into 6 or 7 million yuan in the Ming Dynasty.

Now the annual repayment of the principal of 2 million yuan plus the annual interest of 2.7 million yuan is 4.7 million yuan per year, and Japan's finances can fully afford it. As a result, the Ming Dynasty, who had always shown tolerance and restraint in the negotiations, threatened the Japanese representatives with force at every turn, and took away the benefits of not knowing how many times.

As the financial heart of Europe, the Dutch have always regarded the rest of the world as brainless and reckless, especially the Spaniards, who were once the suzerains, and even more dismissive of their economic capabilities. Today, however, for the first time, this group of clever men of the Dutch East India Company discovered that in the far East, there were minds comparable to those of Dutch bankers. This caused Putmans, who had always despised Asians, to change his attitude and distinguish between the cunning countrymen and other Asians.

After the conclusion of the negotiations between the ASEAN Association and Japan, the Korean king Yi Liang sent Zheng Dooyuan, the secretary of the Tocao judge, and Lin Qingye, the envoy of Sandaoshui, to return to the capital and meet with the Korean ambassador to Daming, Shen Jiyuan.

Although Shen Qiyuan is good friends with Lin Qingye, his relationship with Zheng Douyuan is more estranged, after all, the other party is now Li Liang's cronies. Therefore, for the sudden door of the two, Shen Qiyuan was still a little confused.

However, Zheng Douyuan quickly explained his intention, "I have no other intention to come, but Lin Shui's envoy told me that my Korean naval ships are small and broken, and the soldiers are insufficient and the equipment is not fine, and this expedition to Japan is very strange to the people of the country." Therefore, I am planned by the country, and I hope that Lord Shen will write with me, and the indemnity will be intercepted and used to rebuild the three naval armies, and the six warships between 600-800 tons will be sent to the country. ”

Shen Qiyuan glanced at Lin Qingye, he didn't know why such an important matter, the other party actually didn't talk to him first, but found Zheng Douyuan to convince him.

However, this time to be able to participate in the campaign against Japan, and to force Japan to pay reparations, although most of the indemnities were withheld by the Ming Dynasty, but it was still a gratifying event for Korea. The compensation of 4 million yuan is not a small amount for North Korea.

However, I didn't expect that the money had not been covered yet, Zheng Douyuan thought about spending three-quarters, and Shen Qiyuan was reluctant to step into the unknown trap, so he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "This time the water army in Japan has greatly increased the prestige of our country, and it can be regarded as eliminating the evil breath of the year, and it should be said that it should be said that it is past to use this compensation to rebuild a new water army." However, this matter always has to be decided by His Highness himself, and now we will cut it first and then play, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

Zheng Douyuan nodded without hesitation and said, "Appropriate, proper, this is also what the people of the Nations meant." Our little North Korea was able to rely on the side of the country to seek justice from Japan, and also received compensation from Japan, so naturally we want to use the reparations to establish a naval force to protect ourselves.

After that, Jin has not been able to bargain for anything in the country in the past two years, and he may turn around and invade our dynasty again. If there is such a fleet, we can still defend Ganghwa Island, or we can simply go to Jeju Island to hide. If there is no such fleet, when Houjin fights, does His Highness still expect that group of officers and soldiers who can't even defeat bandits?

Besides, if we follow the country only to take benefits but do not listen to the country's orders, will the country still be willing to help if North Korea is in trouble in the coming days? The four million will be taken back to one million, which is enough to meet the expectations of the domestic government and the people. Besides, take this million to buy some goods in Daming and go back, and throw them away after returning to China, at least fifty percent of the benefits, enough to deal with the hundred officials of the court and His Royal Highness..."

Under Zheng Douyuan's endless persuasion, Shen Qiyuan could only tell the other party that he would think about it for a night and give the other party an answer tomorrow, which made this Hu Cao judge satisfied and followed the servant to wash up first.

After Zheng Douyuan walked away, Shen Qiyuan asked Lin Qingye a little unhappily, "What is going on?" What price is given by the state, only six warships dare to ask for 3 million yuan, isn't this clearly bullying our North Korea, I must go to His Majesty to ask for justice. ”

Lin Qingye hurriedly persuaded him: "This time, our Sandao Water Army sent troops, and there was no chance of a battle, but we even completed the task of logistics and transportation very badly. It is also inevitable that the NKUDA will be angry with our North Korean navy.

The NKU-san also said that if my North Korean navy does not replace ships, conduct regular training, and have its own fleet base, then we will not consider involving our army in the operation next time.

Your Excellency, you think, Your Majesty has been working hard since he ascended the throne, and the day of the destruction of Jin is just around the corner. However, Houjin is the enemy of the land, and our Korean army is not good, and it is already extremely ashamed that it cannot help the country. Now that Your Majesty wants to plot against the sea, if our North Korean naval army is still useless, then what is the value of our North Korea in the eyes of Your Majesty?

In the past, my Korea was also the head of the overseas vassals of the Ming Dynasty, but if it became a useless country in the eyes of His Majesty, do you think that the Ming Dynasty will still care about the existence of my North Korea in the future? Those Southern barbarians can easily defeat Japan, and naturally they can easily step on the territory of our Korea, and only then will we come to lament that we have not used this money to build a naval fleet to defend ourselves, is it not too late to regret it?

As for the price offered by the Kokuda, it is 150,000 empty ships, and 250,000 ships if the cannons are equipped. In addition, we will train an army of 3,000 men to defend the home port of the navy, and the full armament is 1 million yuan. It costs 500,000 yuan to build a naval port for us, a total of 3 million yuan.

In addition, there is a kickback of 500,000 yuan, Zheng Jushu took half of it, and the remaining 250,000 yuan of money drafts are here. ”

Shen Qiyuan looked at the bag placed in front of him and was silent for a long time before he asked, "Where is the home port going to be set up?" ”

Lin Qingye Ma replied: "My idea is to choose one of Jindo and Geoje Island for construction. I don't know what adults mean? ”

Shen Qiyuan thought for a long time and said: "After all, our main station is from Gyeongsang-do, if it is placed in Jindao, those two classes of Jeolla Province will not be able to stumble on us, so let's put it on Geoje Island." ”

Shen Qiyuan pushed the bag in front of him out and said: "Military training is the first thing that costs money, I know that you don't have a lot of money, you take this money as the foundation, do some business between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and also master this force for future use..."
