Chapter 471: Indian Peace Talks (4) Spoils Sharing Conference

It can be said that this is an unprecedented victory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info swept away the gloom of the defeat of the previous and British forces in Maratha and Mysore. Although in this, Daming was not directly involved. But logistically and in the navy, Daming has given great support.

If it weren't for the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the British army's Madras City and Bombay City would not be so easy to capture. And in the South Seas, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, 80% of the British army was dragged. The combined forces of Mysore and Maratha are unlikely to be overwhelming in South India.

It's just a series of battles, and the consumption is too great. Not only the British couldn't stand it, but Mysore itself was somewhat unsustainable. So obey the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty and negotiate peace with the British.

Now we gather in Johor Bahru to share the joy of harvest. What benefits Mysore can get is all in the mind of Da Ming. Therefore, Mysore is more enthusiastic than ever to talk to Daming, just hoping that during the negotiations, Daming can take more care of Mysore's interests.

This makes it impossible to sign the agreement between Daming and Mysore in recent days. Maratha was not far behind, competing to please Daming. made Xia Bing's elbows soften. The senior officials of Nanyang overseas are also smiling. Because these benefits are really exciting.

In the end, Xia Bing represented Daming, Maratha, and Mysore, and finally reached an agreement with the British in South India.

First, Britain unconditionally renounced its colonies in Mumbai, West India, and Madras, South India. To the west of the Western Ghats, in the Kerala region in the southwest corner of India, and the Lakshadweep Islands, the British reservation is located.

As a result, there is only such a southwestern frontier on the Deccan Plateau, which is owned by the British. Fortunately, the coastline is very long, and Britain is a maritime power, which facilitates the connection between Britain and the reserve.

However, its existence is more inclined to military value. Because of this place, the British could continue to station troops in South India and carry out various armed activities. When the time comes, you can also carry out territorial expansion, as you have done in Madras before.

In the words of later generations, it was the planting of a nail in South India. As long as the timing is right, there will always be seizures.

It's just Da Ming, isn't there any defense?

Of course, this is impossible.

After all, the most important thing for the development of Daming is time. Rather than spending your energy in India's life-and-death struggle, it is better to seize the time and scavenge for a huge amount of wealth in India.

You must know that before the battle of Mingying in Nanyang, the Ming Dynasty had no chance to get involved in India. Now not only has he successfully intervened, but he has also received enviable benefits. This has far exceeded expectations for Daming.

The so-called 'contented people are always happy', and the Ming Dynasty should be satisfied now. Because at the moment, it is really inappropriate for Daming to come up with materials to support India's war. Although Mysore and Maratha, they were also bought with money. But the grain of the Ming Dynasty is strictly forbidden to be exported, how can it be sold to other countries!

Therefore, India must be asked to stop the rhythm of the war, so that the Ming Dynasty has enough supplies to transport back to the mainland.

When Britain recovered, they wanted to expand the territory of South India. Daming must have grown and gone to the next level. In the face of the threat of the British, they were also more comfortable with it.

It was for this reason that the Ming agreed to keep the British colonies in the southwest.

But unconditionally, not really unconditionally. Britain ceded Bombay and Madras, but in compensation Britain had the right to trade freely in Mysore and Maratha. It's just that in terms of discounts, it's not as powerful as Daming. What taxes are completely exempt, that is impossible. The British don't have to obey the local laws, and it's a fool's dream.

The position of the British is that of Vaishya. Similar to ordinary people, not as noble as Kshatriyas, nor as humble as Shudras.

Although Magorny also represented the United Kingdom, he expressed his desire to obtain the same rights as the Ming Dynasty in Mysore and Marata. But Britain is no longer what it used to be! Maratha and Mysore both have the help of the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of request was directly dismissed as whimsical. After all, it would be nice to give Britain a right to trade, where can it be given more!

If possible, Britain would prefer to obtain free trade rights in Mumbai and Madras. But according to rumors, these two places will be transferred to the hands of Daming. With the competitiveness of British commercial goods, even under absolutely fair conditions, they cannot squeeze out the market share of Daming.

So Magorny gave up on this thought.

The second condition was that the British colonies in Calcutta would be recognized by the Ming Dynasty, Mysore and Maratha. In addition, the British expansion activities in the Bihar and Austrian regions were also considered legitimate.

It was an acknowledgment of the British presence in the East Indies. And in the coming years, the British position in the East Indies will not be challenged. Bihar and Austria are the compensation of the Ming Dynasty to the British.

In the end, the proportion of Mumbai and Madras in the British Indian colonies is the top three. It has not only extremely important commercial value, but also strong military value. Without compensation, Britain could not have given up so easily.

Moreover, in order to keep the Indian colony, Britain took out the vast northwest territory in exchange. Now that place has been set up by the Ming Dynasty as an overseas consulate in North America, and its status is equivalent to that of the Nanyang overseas consulate.

Therefore, Da Ming must also keep his promises. Although, according to the outcome of the current negotiations, the commitment has shrunk by one-half. But Daming knew that it would be good to see good, so he gave up Bombay and Madras at the same time as Britain gave other territories in exchange.

It's just that Bihar and Ode still have strong local forces. Britain had to resort to force if it wanted to take control there. Therefore, the current promise is only regarded as a water moon mirror flower. But with the non-interventionist pledges of the Ming, Mysore, and Maratha, it was clearly easier for Britain to control the region.

In this way, Daming still gave some visible sweetness. Otherwise, Britain would not have agreed to Daming's conditions so easily.

In addition to this, there is also a Hyderabad in South India. This area is not small, although it is inland, but it is rich in resources. The previous Necham dynasty in Hyderabad gave gifts to the Ming Dynasty. However, the current Indian peace talks are actually a spoils sharing meeting.

If Hyderabad hadn't done it, it would have supported Britain as always. Maybe Hyderabad won't be dismembered at this spoils conference. But he chose to betray, so when the Ming proposed to dismember Hyderabad, the British gladly accepted.

According to the plan, Mysore, Maratha, and Britain dismembered the territory of Hyderabad. Just to unite the British colonies. So the British asked Maratha to exchange the Orissa region on the east coast for the British territory in Hyderabad.

At the behest of Daming, Maratha agreed to this request. The Maratha nobles of Orissa were transferred to Hyderabad for settlement.

Mysore also ceded part of its territory in exchange with the British.

At this point, the Necham dynasty in Hyderabad was officially declared extinct.

It must be added that these ceding territories were in fact partially under British control before. It's just that Britain was defeated, so the occupied territories were returned to Maratha and Mysore. Nowadays, it is not troublesome to exchange.

Bangladesh is basically handled according to the British meaning. It was considered to make up for the concessions made by the British in South India.

As a result of this peace negotiation, India as a whole has laid down a new round of power structure.
