At the same time, negotiations between the British envoy and the Ming Dynasty were also going on intensively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In terms of the division of power in the South Seas, Britain was willing to accept the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty. But the United Kingdom is reluctant to relinquish jurisdiction over New Zealand. And New South Wales, which was also used by the United Kingdom in exchange for the Northern Maluku Islands, did not accept co-governance.

This condition is in strong contrast with Daming's expectations.

Because in any case, the Ming did not allow Britain to set foot in Oceania.

So the negotiations have also reached an impasse.

It was at this time that the news of the conquest of Batavia reached the Ming Dynasty. The British envoy was also the first to learn of the news.

Daming was in charge of the negotiations with Zuo Peng, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Hearing this, his frowning brow stretched a lot.

The impasse in the negotiations has been worrying him these days. In particular, the attitude of the British envoy was so tough that he wanted to slap the other party a few times.

He also knew that Britain was biting New Zealand and not letting go, but in exchange for more benefits. And Daming is also willing to make some concessions in the North Maluku Islands.

But this is the bottom line, and there can be no showdown unless it is absolutely necessary.

And Britain has to confuse the Maluku Islands and New South Wales with a clear appetite.

However, the Portuguese envoy also arrived in Daming at this time.

Compared to the UK, Portugal is much more. All the conditions of the Ming Dynasty were agreed, but in terms of details, they were supplemented.

For example, in the co-governed islands of Obiratu and the Bazhan Islands, the Maluku Self-Governance District was established.

Of course, this self-governing district is just a name and has nothing to do with the local indigenous people.

The relevant administrative personnel were also served by the Ming and the Portuguese.

And there is no governor in the autonomous region. But it will form a high-level parliament, consisting of six people, who will have the power to decide all the affairs of the autonomous region.

In terms of the division of rights, Daming is still very fair. and Portugal is almost halved. The six supreme councillors are also three of you and three of me.

So in August 1973, the Ming Dynasty and Portugal signed the "Ming-Portuguese Friendship Treaty".

According to the regulations, the jurisdiction of East Timor shall be transferred to the Ming Dynasty from the date of the proclamation of the treaty. The Maluku Autonomous Region was also established on the same day.

At the end of the treaty, the Ming and Portugal, also issued a joint statement. They unanimously condemned the Netherlands' actions of undermining peace in the South Seas and trampling on people's rights.

And decided to form an offensive and defensive alliance on the territory of the South Seas. When one side is attacked by a third country, the other side is obliged to provide all-round support.

The term of the treaty is five years!

Obviously, this third country refers to the Netherlands.

As for the alliance only including Nanyang, it is the meaning of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Portugal is a European country, and the anti-French alliance was formed at this point in time.

And the Ming Dynasty is now bent on development and has no energy to take care of Europe. Moreover, Britain has always pursued a policy of continental equilibrium, and obviously does not want to see the Ming Dynasty as an extraterritorial country involved in European affairs.

Although Portugal felt a little regretful, the colonies and private lands of the South Seas were secured. Unlike East Timor, which was under constant threat from the Dutch.

At the same time, the war of the Ming Dynasty against Nanyang was also slowly advancing.

Due to the fall of the largest Dutch stronghold in the South Seas, the Dutch forces in other places also lost their coordination.

Like the Dutch governor, after being trapped for half a month, he had to surrender.

After all, if you have no water or food, if you stay any longer, you will starve to death.

And surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly an extremely wise thing.

This is especially true for ordinary Dutchmen. Because among the European immigrants of the Ming Dynasty, the proportion of the Dutch is the largest.

Many relatives and friends, after going to Daming, have a good life. These real examples made their resistance to Daming a little lighter.

What's more, Daming is not exclusive to immigrants.

Compared with the status of a captive, becoming a free Ming man is obviously the best choice.

Coupled with the provocation of Dutch agents such as Li Luo, many people began to oppose the governor's 'turtle shell' policy and demanded surrender.

The Ming also took the opportunity to announce the treatment of those who surrendered.

First, the safety of life will be guaranteed.

Second, if the property exceeds a certain amount, it will be confiscated. If the quota is less, it will belong to the individual. If you are willing to become a Ming person, you can return one-third of the confiscated part.

Such conditions immediately led to rebellion and rebellion within the Netherlands.

The grief-stricken Dutch governor was stripped naked and sent out of the barracks by angry soldiers and civilians.

At this point, Batavia fell completely.

And the conditions of the Ming Dynasty were not only for the Dutch in Batavia, but also for the Dutch in the South Sea colonies.

In fact, these people are afraid of losing money and interests, so they want to fight Daming to the end. But now, when they heard that they could keep some of their money, they all let go of their hostility.

Coupled with the capture and arrest of those mercenaries, these Dutchmen ran to the surrender point set by Daming one by one to surrender.

Because if they are caught by mercenaries, although they don't have to die, the accumulated family wealth will definitely be robbed by mercenaries.

At this time, they were not protected as the people of a hostile country. And in order to win over the natives to do these hard jobs, the Ming Dynasty also let them rob it.

As long as you promise not to commit things that are angry and resentful, and hand over fifty percent of the loot, Da Ming will allow it.

As a result, such a policy was promoted, and the Dutch colonies such as Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi threw themselves into the arms of the Ming Dynasty at an astonishing speed.

The informants planted by the British in the South Seas also sent this kind of information to the British envoy in charge of the negotiations as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the British envoy also had to put down his body. The tough tone is also soft. On the issue of New Zealand, make concessions.

In order to take the Malay Peninsula as soon as possible and prevent accidents, Britain accelerated the pace of negotiations.

So in October of that year, Britain signed the "Ming-British Friendship Treaty" with the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the Malay Peninsula belongs to the United Kingdom, New South Wales, New Zealand and other places, and belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Morotai Island and Halmahera Island are under the sole rule of the British. But the Ming Dynasty had requirements for the garrison, which could not exceed two thousand people.

Finally, a statement of condemnation and rebuke to the Dutch was issued. He denounced the Dutch's sinister and evil intentions to destroy peace in the South Seas.

All of a sudden, Da Ming had two more helpers. From the previous heads-up, it has become three against one. As the Netherlands who was beaten, there are really some dumb people who eat coptis chinensis, and they can't say what they are suffering from.

They were attacked and attacked, but they were slandered and slandered by the other side as the culprits and culprits of destroying peace in the South Seas. Not only did he bear all the guilt and responsibility, but he also became the target of the crusade of all mouths.

But no one cares about the feelings of the Netherlands.

Because the Ming Dynasty, the United Kingdom, and Portugal, which are vested interests, have all ******** consolidate their newly acquired territory!

Behind the treaty, Britain agreed to sell a batch of industrial equipment to the Ming Dynasty. Like the steam engine, there are 500 of them. There are also some precision instruments and mining equipment, which are things that Daming can't produce for the time being, but they are extremely needed.

This has played a role as a propeller for the industrial development of the Ming Dynasty.
