Chapter 463: The Flames of War Are Temporarily Extinguished (6) The Peace of the Seven Kingdoms
The envoys of various countries present at the meeting refused this request without even discussing it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAmong them, Myanmar dances the most, eager to unite all countries and destroy Siam together.
But Xia Bing only asked the envoys to calm down for a while, and did not say anything. Let the five eastern countries with the Ming Dynasty as the leader dare not follow Myanmar to make trouble. Seeing this, the Burmese envoy was furious. But the skills are not as good as people, and there is nothing to be done.
So the negotiations reached an impasse again.
Seeing this, Xia Bing had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the meeting. But it didn't take long for her to unilaterally meet with the Burmese envoy. Without further ado, he informed Burma of Siam's lease of Zhuangthaburi. And said that Siam's sincerity was full, so that Daming was not easy to refuse.
When the Myanmar deputies heard this, they secretly said that 'both sides take it all.' At the same time, his head turned sharply, thinking of a way to deal with it. But looking at Xia Bing's confident appearance, he knew that the bait he threw out earlier was probably lost.
He said no more, and got up and left.
When the negotiations continued, the Burmese envoy only sent a deputy to serve as a concurrent. And he himself is nowhere to be found. The envoys of the five countries discussed a lot, speculating about the reason why the Burmese representative did not come. Xia Bing thought that the Burmese envoy was afraid that he would rush back to the embassy to discuss countermeasures.
However, she didn't explain, and directly took out the solution that had been drawn up early in the Ming Dynasty and let the envoys of various countries present read it.
There are two main parts to this!
The first declaration of a mutual peace between Siam, Burma, the Ming Dynasty and the five eastern powers! This is a broad framework that mainly demonstrates the determination of countries to settle Siam peacefully. So there are no special clauses, and there is very little actual content.
The second part proposes unilateral consultations among countries. There are mainly three frameworks of Siam-Burma, Ming-Siam, Siam and the five eastern countries.
As if he had a heart, Siam proposed by the Ming Dynasty and the five eastern countries to come up with their own peace treaties. There are not many clauses above, but there are two main points. One is to dissolve the relationship between the suzerainty and the subject.
This may not seem important, but in fact, it is very important. Especially for the Ming Dynasty, after these five small countries left the tributary system of Siam, they would fully fall to the Ming Dynasty. In legal theory, it gave the Ming Dynasty the right to intervene in the national affairs of the five eastern countries.
Trade, immigration, cultural invasion, and strategy will be very simple. When everything falls into place, Da Ming can easily annex them.
Thinking about these things, the five small countries naturally have no energy to pay attention to them. After all, they have been under Siam's control for so long that whenever they have the opportunity, they will go to great lengths to break free from Siam's control. And for these small countries, it is more secure to be attached to the more powerful Ming Dynasty, and in terms of security.
Maybe they still think that the Republic of the Ming is the former Zhu Ming. As long as the subject country has a dependent expression and sends some cherished tribute, it can be protected by the Ming Dynasty and be peaceful forever. Completely ignore the fate of neighboring Vietnam!
It is estimated that when the time comes, they will not even have a place to cry.
The second condition is the army! Siam and the five eastern kingdoms are not allowed to garrison troops at the junction of twenty miles. As a third-party force, Daming will set up a local supervision agency to assume the responsibility of supervision. We urge all parties to earnestly implement the Treaty and achieve peace.
As for trading and mining minerals in the local area, it was a matter of the Ming Dynasty in order to benefit the local people. Presumably, Siam and the five eastern countries will not have any objections.
Even if there were, Da Ming would selectively not hear it. Anyway, Da Ming's strength is there, if you don't accept it, you can let Da Ming be subdued.
If you are not careful, the country will also be destroyed, then you can't blame the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, during the supervision of the Ming Dynasty, if any party violates it, it can be handed over to the Ming Dynasty for verification. If it is true, Da Ming can give a certain punishment according to the seriousness of the cause. For example, leading the coalition of various countries to attack it in groups.
No one could have imagined that it was this duty of supervision that became the direct cause of the subsequent destruction and demise of Siam and the five small states.
In addition to the above two conditions, it is a small and insignificant indemnity. For example, Siam mortgaged the minerals of several border provinces to five small countries. Then a large number of Siamese prisoners of war will be released. Since these small countries themselves do not have any ability to exploit minerals, the mortgaged minerals were sold to the Ming Dynasty after they changed hands.
And in order to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty, these minerals are almost given away for nothing. Daming has always adhered to the good habit of 'being stupid if you have a cheap advantage', so you are happy to accept it.
As for the land cut, Siam refused to let go. The five eastern countries were also afraid of Siam's retribution, so they did not dare to insist on ceding land. In the end, it has been bullied and suppressed by Siamese for too long, and it is too close. The so-called far water can't save the near fire. Even if he hugged Daming's thick thighs, he didn't dare to push Siam too much.
Although Daming had the intention to let Siam cede the land, these countries had given up, and Daming could not insist on it anymore. What's more, Siam also has a lot of benefits to Daming, so he is unwilling to add to Siam in this matter.
Although he is not afraid of Siam's retaliation, if Siam is pushed to the Burmese side, let them turn the conflict into peace. The wishful thinking of the Ming Dynasty fell through. Therefore, from the position of Daming, he is relatively satisfied with this peace treaty.
Siam's words were a joy. Because the land was not cut, the national prestige was avoided. In front of the five countries, the dignity of the great powers was preserved. In the case of reparations, it is almost insignificant. After all, it was all in the soil, buried there, and the local government didn't expect it to make a fortune.
Now that the mortgage is out, there is nothing distressing. And these minerals will eventually fall into the hands of Daming. Just let Siam have another opportunity to please the Ming Dynasty.
The dissolution of relations between the suzerainty and the vassal states was expected by Siam. Especially in the submission of Da Nan to the Ming Dynasty, the five countries in the east have not been less and Da Ming. With Siam's national strength, even if there is a deliberate resistance, there is no effective means of dealing with it.
What's more, what is remembered by the Ming Dynasty is tantamount to a hot potato. If you hold it in your hand, sooner or later you will offend Daming. Throwing it out can also increase the Ming's goodwill towards Siam, which is a relatively good deal.
Of course, there are regrets! It's just nothing compared to the national glory of Siam.
A buffer zone of twenty miles, with no garrisons, is also within Siam's acceptable range. Anyway, there is Daming who is responsible for supervision, and in a short period of time, he is not afraid of small moves by the five countries in the east. And Burma to the west is Siam's mortal enemy.
This peace in the east freed up Siam's hands to concentrate on dealing with Burma.
Therefore, this peace treaty was unanimously agreed by the Ming Dynasty, Siam and the five eastern countries. The deputy envoy of Myanmar is very dissatisfied! Because Myanmar does not want the Ming Dynasty, the five eastern countries and Myanmar to reach a reconciliation intention. When a peace treaty is signed, it is necessary to do everything possible to prevent it.
But this peace treaty, Myanmar did not participate in it at all. just had something to say, and was sent back by Xia Bing with a sentence of 'irrelevant'.
Therefore, in a friendly atmosphere, the peace treaty between Ming and Siam and the five countries was formally signed.
