Chapter 466: The Flames of War Are Temporarily Extinguished (9) The Division of the Domain

The fee for the leased area, after negotiation between the Ming Dynasty and Siam, was settled at 2 million Chinese dollars per year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNo matter what the tax in the leased area is, Siam will always only receive two million Chinese dollars. This condition can be calculated as a cheap deal.

Because the population of Siam, in the Indochina Peninsula, is second to none. In recent years, trade has made Siam's commerce prosperous several times. However, according to the calculations of the Department of Commerce, Daming currently has less than 17 percent of the market in Siam.

But such a small share has made Daming's net income in Siam as high as more than 300 million yuan per year. This is still the lack of capacity of the Ming Dynasty, and the influence of traffic and extravagance in Siam is also affected.

Otherwise, you will definitely earn more in Siam.

Therefore, in this leased area, many factories dedicated to light industry such as textiles and food processing will be built. In order to increase productivity and accelerate the expansion of the Siam market. And thus radiate Zhenla, Vientiane and other countries, so that they have become an important raw material source and commodity market of the Ming Dynasty.

When the time comes, the countries continue to lose blood. Massive wealth, through commercial trade, flowed into the Ming Dynasty. This method is very subtle. It is several times smarter than blindly stealing and grabbing.

So the lease fee of two million Chinese dollars is really not much at all.

What's more, the cost of the lease will be offset by arms sales of warships and firearms. The rest still needs to be paid by Siam to the Ming Dynasty.

So in this way, Daming's books do not need to take the cost of leasing and borrowing at all.

However, there are many things involved in the warship incident. If it weren't for the two towns of South Malaysia and North Malaysia, as well as a huge amount of compensation, Daming would not have agreed to sell warships.

Although the last naval battle with the British Indian fleet allowed the Ming to capture many British warships. However, there are not many intact warships, and most of them have suffered varying degrees of damage. Even if it is repaired, it takes a lot of effort.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty is in great need of grain now, and Siam has a lot of grain storage. There is such a large benefit as the compensation for land cession, and Daming is not too stingy.

Of course, the business-oriented Ming is not a wealthy person! In the presence of ready-made warships, naturally, new ones will not be sold. He had already made up his mind to repair two British warships that the Ming Dynasty looked down on. Just paint a little brighter, bells and whistles, and build a little more. Let the appearance show heroic and domineering.

The earthy, turtle-like Siam, probably doesn't make much difference.

After all, Siam's navy has always been in a blank state. It is also Siam that has always regarded itself as a land power in terms of self-positioning. For the ocean, I don't care about it at all. That's why I've been fighting with Myanmar! In the final analysis, it is still the intention of fighting for hegemony on land.

Even after the rise of the Ming Dynasty, Siam saw the advantages of the sea. However, due to the influence of traditional thinking, he did not pay much attention to the sailor. It was still Burma threatened by the Ming Navy and the Ming blockade of the entire Nanyang route that made Siam slowly pay attention to the naval division.

But it is not easy to develop a sailor. If you don't talk about artillery, let's talk about shipbuilding, and it stumps Siam. Because although Siam is close to the sea, shipbuilding is limited to small fishing boats built with a few sampans. It's hard enough to walk around the islands near Bangkok Bay. Not to mention rushing out of Bangkok Bay and out of the South Seas.

Moreover, under the influence of the Ming Dynasty, all countries are now making every effort to develop new steel warships. The maritime powers, led by the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom, have built new warships in large quantities. Traditional wooden sailboats are gradually declining.

If Siam wants to form its own sailor, it can only spend money to buy it. With a good relationship with Daming, he finally bought a few captured pirate ships and armed merchant ships from Daming. The shelf of the Siamese sailors has finally been erected.

It's okay to shiver, but it's still okay to be a good fighter in Bangkok Bay. Until Siam fell to England and angered the Ming. Siam learned that his own sailor was nothing. Those sailboats that were bought at a great price were blocked in Bangkok Bay by the Nanyang Fleet at the first time and sunk one by one.

In the end, the sailor who does not enter the stream can't make any big waves at all. So in front of Da Ming, even resistance seemed weak.

Such a beating made Siam realize that the sailor was powerful.

Therefore, the two new warships have a great help to the Siamese naval division. What is new and old, I don't care anymore.

That's the difference between an insider and a layman!

What's more, throughout the ages, military weapons have been twenty times more profitable. And Daming has never suffered losses, and this profit will naturally rise by two to three percent on the basis of 20 times. Just let Daming have another amount of financial and political income.

For trading without loss, Daming has always been open to convenience. This is also one of the reasons for the passage of warships.

In addition, this arms sale also has a very important symbolic meaning!

Because the warships of the Ming Dynasty have never been sold since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This Siam grabbed the first place, and the significance is self-evident. So no matter how much it costs, Siam feels that it is worth it. Especially in the case of the early Ming-Siam exchanges, as soon as this arms sale comes out, many people with intentions will re-quantify the Ming-Siam relationship.

This gives the embattled Siam an extra layer of security assurance.

The so-called spending money to eliminate disasters, the Ming Dynasty took so much advantage of Siam, and it was also allowed to help it create momentum. Anyway, it's just a nihilistic name, and there is no need for Da Ming Zhen to carry a knife and a gun. So there's no need to worry about it.

Although according to Siam's original intention, it was originally intended to sign a comprehensive military cooperation agreement with the Ming Dynasty and establish an alliance. In terms of national security, accept the protection of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, any external forces that are unfavorable to Siam will be helped by the Ming Dynasty.

As for the cost, Siam is willing to bear it. It was also this disaster of annihilation that made Siam deeply feel the horror of the Ming Dynasty. So after being convinced, he moved closer to Daming. What kind of land hegemony, I also faded that thought. After all, as long as the Ming Dynasty existed, Siam would never be able to become the overlord.

However, Daming attaches great importance to business and business, and attaches great importance to long-term interests. We know that once such a peace treaty is signed, the balance of the Indochina Peninsula will be broken. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to invest more energy in the Indochina Peninsula. Then a monopoly on the Indochina Peninsula is likely to threaten the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a thing is not allowed to happen in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has the intention of annexing Siam, how can it be allowed to develop silently. So no matter what price Siam pays, the Ming Dynasty is like a rock and refuses to sign such an agreement.

However, Siam was the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the end, so the Ming Dynasty did not say anything to death. The division of the feudal division was established, which was responsible for handling the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the feudal divisions.
