After the Navy rested, it set sail from Kuching and returned home.

The two warships were named Lianzhou and Leizhou respectively, and they took Lianzhou in order, and the other two notification ships of the Yuexiu frigate went north to Qiongzhou.

The reason for the follow-up negotiations with Manila is in Sanya, which is because Sanya and the Philippines are close to each other, and it is more convenient for the sailing clippers of both sides to sail sideways in the southerly season.

There are no irreconcilable contradictions between the Federation and Spain in the South China Sea, and each even has some complementary advantages. In the past, wars were more about historical legacies, and in the face of God and gold, the two sides quickly found their own points of convergence.

In the second negotiations, Don Diego Fajardo, the Spanish Governor and Commander-in-Chief Military Attache of the Philippines and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, commonly known as the Governor, sent official representatives, and the Dominicans and Franciscans continued to act as introducers and witnesses to both sides.

The Special Envoy is Rodrigo Barrera, Co-Judge of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Under the Governor of the Philippines, who is also the President, there are three co-judges of the Grand Court. The Philippine Supreme Court has not only judicial power, but also executive and legislative powers.

Theoretically, the Philippine colonies were under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, but because of the long distance, New Spain generally only exercised supervisory powers, and in practice the Philippine Governors were in charge of administration and diplomacy. Governor Fajardo has the right to declare war and make peace with Asian countries, and of course his decision must be reported to Mexico City and the Indicate, and it will be recognized if nothing else.

During the negotiations, as a gesture of good faith, Barnabi, which was allied with the Sulu people in northern Borneo, was recalled, and the two countries had a de facto ceasefire.

By the third negotiation, Sulu also had a ceasefire with Manila. Fajardo had no intention of expanding further in the south for the time being, and Manila opened peace talks with Hole Island. It was another treaty and had nothing to do with the Sanya peace talks.

In the fourth negotiation, the positions of the two sides converged, and the final agreement is as follows:

1. The Contracting Parties undertake not to use force, aggression or aggression against one another, either alone or in association with other States.

2. If one of the Contracting Parties is at war with a third State, the other High Contracting Party shall not give any support to the third State.

3. The Contracting Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, oppose another State Party.

4. The Parties shall settle all disputes between the High Contracting Parties by peaceful means.

5. Reciprocal dispatch of ministers.

6. The Treaty shall be valid for a period of 15 years.

Secret Subsidiary Protocol to the Treaty.

1. The Federation recognizes all Spanish interests in the Philippines, including the Sulawesi Sea and the Sulu Sea.

2. In the event that the interests of both sides in China and Korea are invaded by other countries or suffered losses due to internal disturbances, the Nanyang Federation may take all necessary measures, and the Spanish Philippines shall use measures including but not limited to economic assistance to assist them.

3. The two sides shall grant unconditional most-favored-nation status to each other, limited to the Spanish Philippines and the Commonwealth of the Philippines, Houjiang and Kuching.

4. The Spanish Philippines has a federal loan of 500,000 pesos at an annual interest rate of 5%, to be repaid over six years. The funds were used to purchase grain and saltpeter from the Philippines.

5. Long-term cooperation clauses on trade.

In addition, the Orderly acquiesced to Manila's rights in Mindanao and suspended the arms ships bound for Sulu.

The Treaty of Sanya consists of three signed versions: Latin, Spanish and Chinese.

Signed by Serenary and Spanish Philippine Plenipotentiary Barrera. The attendant took out the fire paint, melted it and dripped it on the left side of the signature, and took out the jade seal in an orderly manner and pressed it heavily on the fire paint.

Exchange of letters, open wine.

Barrera toasted, "for our common prosperity and honor." ”

Orderly: "For free trade." ”

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

At the dinner party, the lights were bright, and women dressed in gorgeous silk shuttled through the crowd.

Orderly looked around, "Your Excellency, I don't see anyone from the church. ”

Barrera put down his glass and lamented a little, "Something happened to Manila, and the people from the church couldn't come." ”

Under Barrera's strong expression, he clearly saw the schadenfreude, "Oh, Your Excellency, what's going on?" ”

"Archbishop Powlett used the power of episcopal inspection to deprive a Dominican diocese, 254 friars of the five major religious churches in the Philippines resigned en masse in protest, and our order was effectively suspended."

"Ah, that's a pity."

"Indeed." Barrera couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Which side do you think will win?"

"His Excellency the Archbishop is of course the most honorable, but there has never been an archbishop who can confront the five major orders who have joined forces, so the outcome is obvious."

"Archbishop concessions?"

"It must be."

In Spain, there was always some contradiction between the administration and the church. In the face of the royal inspection power of the Philippine governor, the archbishop and the five major religious orders must join forces to fight. But when the bishop tried to use the bishop's inspection power, the church infighting was equally intense. At this time, the administrators were happy to see the church's jokes.

Fireworks were set off outside the window, and soldiers were cheering for peace.

Shou Qin shook hands with Barrera, "Your Excellency, the after-dinner activities have been arranged, and the local Chief Executive, Mr. Lynch, will accompany you to the second half." I had something to do and left first. ”

"Please, Your Excellency. Before you leave, I must express my gratitude for your hospitality and hope to have the opportunity to receive you at my estate in Manila, where we can get a taste of the Philippines together. ”

"Chance, Your Excellency, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Shou Xuan turned to leave the ballroom, and Lynch took his place.

The orderly adjutant Chen Shangchuan hurriedly followed, "Sir, Captain Barnaby hopes to see you right away." ”

"Got it, let him come to my parlour, I'll wait for him there."

The orderly living room is located on the top floor, with a north-south view and two chaise longue beds on the balcony. The sea breeze blows comfortably on your body. After eight years of development in Sanya, the malaria epidemic has been brought under control at least in the aristocratic area of Sanya Port, and the prevalence rate has been decreasing year by year. Sanya's achievements were exchanged for an incalculable cost of life, and under each cornerstone, there was a real corpse. Shou ordered himself to pour himself a glass of spirits and drank it down.

Barnaby came quickly, and pirate captains often had something unique in their taste in clothing. Barnabi was like that, he was dressed in a strange costume of silk, feathers, and floral cloth, and he was a little stunned at the first sight of the order.

"My dear chief, did you call me back to see you and the salted meats having a good time?"

"Yes and no, Mr. Captain."

"Oh, how do you say?"

"As you can see, we have made peace with the Spaniards, so you can no longer plunder the Philippine Islands."

"It's a shame, but I've had a good time working with those Moors."

"I'm afraid you'll have to cut off contact with the Moors."

"I'd like to hear the reasons for this."

Keeping the order and smiling, it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and pirates will not easily obey the orders of others.

"I think you have a lot of subordinates in the Philippines, just waiting to get the money and go back to China to enjoy the blessings, right?"

Barnaby shrugged, "There are some people who do think so. But I now have more than 1,000 people under my command, and most of them think it's good to rob the Spaniards. ”

"How about I find you a new one to rob? Weaker than the Spaniards, richer than the Filipinos, you can do whatever you want with your strength. ”

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"There are also some drawbacks, that place is colder in winter."

"Cold is only a minor problem compared to gold."

"Interested?"

"Please tell me where this fat sheep is?"

Shou orderly spread out the map, starting from Tianjin and Dengzhou, and drew a tortuous route along the Liaodong Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula, Tsushima Island and Nagasaki.

"China's Beiyang Route."

"It seems a little far."

"Far and near are relative. The headwind is far away, the downwind is near, and you are familiar with the Asian monsoon, and under normal circumstances, you can go back and forth once a year. ”

"Is there a lot of money there?"

"North China has direct maritime trade with Japan, and there are about 10 large merchant ships per year. It is difficult to count the number of merchant ships that passed through Korea and the Tsushima domain, and the number will not be small. ”

"Sounds interesting."

"You can also go ashore to plunder, and the Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula and Tianjin are all about coastal defense."

"How do I get started?"

"Junk ships rely on offshore navigation, and no matter which port they depart from in the Bohai Sea, the eastern coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula is their only route. There are continuous archipelagos over there, and you can control their course as long as you control a few islands. ”

"It's tempting, the latitude is very high, will the island freeze?"

"The offshore islands are frozen for 4 months a year, so it's not suitable. You can choose from Zhangzi Island and Haiyang Island. ”

"The northerly winds over the East Asian seas are too strong, and I don't want to lose manpower in the cold wave, is there a reliable safe haven?"

Shou Xiang took out the floor plan of Haiyang Island, "What do you think of this island?" ”

Barnaby results in the map and accompanying materials, look very carefully.

Hai Duong Island is surrounded by mountains and has a steep terrain, with an average altitude of more than 250 meters and an altitude of 373 meters. The mountains surround a horseshoe-shaped bay called Taiping Bay, which is an extremely rare natural ice-free haven in the north.

Zhangzi Island and Haiyang Island were all gratifying defense areas in those years, and most of the islands in Dongjiang Town would be frozen in winter, which was very broken, and these two islands were navigable all year round.

"The hardware is acceptable, I only have one problem."

"Please."

"In the Philippines, I have Sulu people who are familiar with geography. When I got to northern China, I needed allies too. I don't have the time or the time to find out what's going on there. ”

Shou Xuan smiled, "Don't worry, not only your team, but I will also send a Chinese navy." ”

"Oh, how many are there?"

"Close to 2,000 people."

"Tsk, that's a lot. I'm guessing you're not going to let me command them, are you? ”

"Captain, I must praise you for your acumen. This Chinese fleet will not only include soldiers, but will also carry an entire administrative structure. ”

"How do I get along with them?"

"What do you think of the status of mercenaries?"

"It doesn't matter, I only care about gold and silver."

"You'll get your way." Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
