Chapter 455: Peninsula Reconciliation (6) Land Cession Reparations
"Well, can you all sit down and talk?" , waved his hand, Xia Bing said with a gentle smile. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just matched the pink gray covered by the tabletop, and her expression looked a little out of place. The voice that spoke also carried a chilling magic.
The two sides of Siamese who were arguing over the excitement immediately died down and sat back obediently. Honestly, it's like a child who makes mistakes and is criticized by the teacher.
However, the Burmese representative was a little unbearable, so he deliberately got up and said: "Director Xia has misunderstood, we Burmese people have always paid attention to etiquette. If it weren't for the unacceptable conditions in Siam, we wouldn't have gotten angry. ”。
His Chinese dialect is not bad, even better than many immigrants who have obtained the national status of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, it is responsible for dealing with various countries, and the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is similar to the official dialect of the Qing State attached to Myanmar.
This made the surrounding countries of the Qing Dynasty have more people who understand Chinese. Now throughout the negotiations, the delegates communicate in Chinese.
It's like the English language of later generations, and with the colonial expansion of the British, the language also spread all over the world. And the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is Han to be precise. There is also the potential to rise to the international language.
Especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the popularity of Chinese has become the fastest growing region outside the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this is inseparable from the efforts of businessmen. Like Nanyang and other places, the south and north are basically on the Ming Sea. In particular, after the Ming Dynasty set up a designated treaty port in Nanyang, the merchants who traveled to and from all parts of Nanyang and the surrounding countries were basically Ming people.
When I came into contact with them, I inevitably used the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. In order to attract business and serve the wealthy Ming merchants, the merchants of these countries also had to learn Chinese.
In order to immigrate, many non-Ming and non-Qing people who got the Ming national qualification certificate as soon as possible also seized the opportunity to contact Han before immigrating.
For this reason, many Ming people also set up Chinese schools in these countries. And the government hindered the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and they all kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak.
Therefore, these Chinese schools are full of students and make a lot of money.
But this is all an afterthought, as soon as the Burmese representative finished speaking, someone on the Siamese side snorted, got up and said: "Da Ming has always been fair, so I believe that Director Xia must not want to see too much evil to deceive people. line occurs.
”。
As he spoke, he stared directly at the Myanmar representative opposite.
"Hehe, where is the deception too much? Isn't it a matter of course to pay reparations for the defeat of the war? Myanmar retorted again.
"We in Siam were not defeated! So don't use the words of a defeated country to insult Siam. Gauze! The tone of the Siamese representative was both serious and dissatisfied. It seems that if you keep talking, there will be meat. The meaning of fighting.
On the Burmese side, there was no timidity, and he still said stiffly: "The dead duck has a hard mouth!" Isn't this negotiation supposed to be held in Siam? If we have the ability, we in Myanmar are willing to continue to compete on the battlefield. ”。
"I repeat again, we in Siam are not defeated!" , The Siamese prince who had been listening to the Siamese Song Swallow and killed him. The people's eyes were fixed on the Burmese representative, and Tie Qing scolded with a blue face.
Seeing that the Burmese side also stood up, he had to talk back. Xia Bing, who was sitting at the top, spoke again. Just listen: "This matter will be discussed later, let the parties state their own conditions first." ”。
Although the voice is not loud, it is just enough to make the person who hears it obediently shut up.
After everyone sat down, Xia Bing signaled to Zhenla, who was sitting at the bottom right. Then I saw the representative of Zhenla, who bowed his back slightly, straightened his clothes and stated his conditions.
However, as a "friendly" country that closely embraced the Ming Dynasty, Zhenla was mentioned exactly according to the meaning of the Ming Dynasty. One is to cede the land, to cede the territory that was previously ceded to Siam, and to return it to Chenla. The other is to renounce suzerainty over Chenla.
As plausible as it sounds, Siam had taken a lot of territory from Chenla before. Therefore, hearing this condition, the Siamese side only looked at the heart with their ears and noses, and seemed very disapproving.
And Vientiane, Luang Prabang and other countries are also similar to Chenla. After all, since becoming a vassal state, Siam has not let them cede land. Yes, there is only one lonely town left in the country.
Now it is enough to make these poor little states cry with joy.
Fortunately, at this time, Vietnam had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, these small states will only end up in personal ruin under the double persecution of Siam and Vietnam.
Other than that, none of the five countries mentioned the matter of reparations. Probably, they also understood that even Siam promised reparations. In actual implementation, it will also be pushed back for various reasons.
Moreover, Siam's livelihood has withered due to the war, and it may not be able to come up with much money to repay the loan. Even if there is, it will be the first to give Daming and Myanmar.
These small countries are not surprisingly at the end of the line. After all, Siam's size is bigger than their sum of them. In addition, Siam's foundation is not bad, as long as it is given two or three years, it will develop with peace of mind, and it will return to the level of the former regional power.
Therefore, even if they are unwilling, they do not dare to ask for reparations. is also compared with the territory in hand, and the indemnity is nothing.
In this way, the final statement fell on Daming, the host of this negotiation. The representatives of all parties also pricked up their ears, carried their thoughts, and listened carefully.
After all, the weight of Da Ming is incomparable to anyone on the field. And the attitude of the Ming Dynasty is often related to the evolution of the pattern of the Indochina Peninsula.
Like the Ming Dynasty before supporting Siam! Myanmar, which is invincible, has internal and external troubles. For a time, Myanmar fell into a situation of fragmentation.
Now there is Ming support for Myanmar. As a result, Siam was broken in the backbone and had to wag his tail to Daming and beg for mercy, begging for forgiveness.
At present, the representatives except for Ming Siam are speculating about what kind of benefits Siam has paid to the Ming Dynasty. Only then did Da Ming not only forgive Siam, but also ordered all parties to stop the offensive and accept Siam's reconciliation.
And with the nature of Ming businessmen who pay the most attention to the gains and losses of interests, they must have a great plan. So, now you can listen to what Da Ming has to say.
Xia Bing observed the reactions of the representatives of all parties in the rematch, and a sneer welled up in his heart. He cleared his throat and said with his usual solemn expression: "The southern region south of Bashu is controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The indemnity is 50 million Chinese yuan, which will be paid by the grain.
To meet the above, the Ming Dynasty immediately sent diplomatic envoys to restore the normal state with Siam. ”。
Although these conditions, the Siamese side, have already agreed. But in front of many delegates, they looked very surprised.
This drama is very good, but it is convincing.
