Chapter 426: Bargaining (8) The Peace of Nancy
The line of sight shifted to the north, and the powerful Qing State was also fighting again and again due to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and with the White Lotus Sect moving south, the southern part of Guizhou, the southern part of Hunan, the whole territory of Yunnan, and the western part of Guangxi were gradually burned into white ground. Although the border areas of Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei, and Sichuan were all ceded by the White Lotus Sect.
However, the local countryside is deserted and the houses are completely destroyed. Except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled, all the young and strong were swept away by the White Lotus Sect. Tens of millions of people flowed southward with the transfer of the White Lotus Sect.
It is conceivable that when productivity is restored in these places, it will be another year of the monkey.
The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty invited the archmage of Tibet to spell the traitors and thieves of the White Lotus Sect. It's a pity that the momentum of the White Lotus Sect has not weakened by half a point.
At the same time, the southeast coast of the Qing Kingdom was also in the limelight because of the sea thieves, and there was a lot of noise.
The Suzhou and Hangzhou regions, known as the granary, have also been greatly affected. Coupled with the rebellion of the Hui people in northern Shaanxi, it was enough to give the emperor a headache.
But He Shen is a thoughtful person, so he conceals all these troubles. made the Emperor Taishang think that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect would be quelled. Only the new Emperor Jiaqing had a headache for these troubles.
The life of the Lee family in neighboring North Korea is not easy either.
Since the Kim Sha pirates occupied Jeju Island, they became neighbors of North Korea. Ulsan, Busan, Changwon, and Hampyeong have never stopped. In particular, Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do provinces have become the backyards of the Kim Sha pirates.
And Seoul was also besieged by the Japanese samurai under the Golden Pirate Regiment. In the end, Joseon Jeongjo had to send envoys to make peace. 60 million Chinese won and the conditions of free trade between South Gyeongsang Province and North Gyeongsang Province were exchanged for a guarantee that the Golden Evil Pirate Regiment would not invade Korea.
Of course, all this money ended up flowing into Daming's pocket.
In Japan to the south, the Golden Pirate Group naturally has no reason to let it go. They continued to plunder the coast of Japan, such as Karatsu, Fukuoka, Hamada, Izumo and other coastal towns close to the Sea of Japan, which were plundered by the Golden Pirates. Several local daimyo were destroyed.
The famous Edo was also patronized by the Golden Pirates. is also in terms of equipment and force, Japan and Korea are not as good as the Jinsha pirate group. So in the end, there is only the share of being bullied and humiliated.
So Japan also followed the example of Korea, and offered 90 million Chinese dollars, as well as the conditions of free trade between Kyushu and Shikoku and the two islands, in exchange for the promise that the Jinsha pirate group would not invade.
In order to make up this money, the big names from all over the world have a lot of grudges. As a result, they collected more taxes and squeezed more money out of Japanese farmers and merchants. Fortunately, most of the Japanese people are submissive. As long as there is a little way to live, you will not dare to resist the power and authority.
Therefore, widespread social chaos did not appear. However, there have been hundreds of food rush turmoil in the city. In the end, it was a rain of blades and blood that calmed down the turmoil.
In fact, it was also the Ming Dynasty that was short of money, so he let the Jinsha Pirate Group go back to his old job. Although some days, there were no more robberies and robberies. But when it comes to moving, it's still ruthless and spicy. Like many unconvinced daimyos, they were cut off by the Golden Pirate Group.
Among them, we have to mention the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Because of its admiration for Chinese culture, he has always been reluctant to bow to the lowly Jinsha pirate group. So in all respects, they are very uncooperative. If it weren't for the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, he would have given a special account to the Jinsha Pirate Group and let go of the country of Ryukyu. It is estimated that the Ryukyu Islands have become the base of the Golden Pirate Group.
So the Ryukyu royal family got an inch. In front of the Golden Pirate Group, he stared at the Satsuma Clan on Kyushu Island, and wanted to fight back against the Golden Pirate Group. As a result, the Satsuma clan was slaughtered and slaughtered, and the head was made into a Kyoto temple and stood in front of the royal palace in the Ryukyus.
This frightened the Ryukyu king, and his soul was not possessed, and he couldn't stand up.
In order to teach them a lesson, the Kinsha Pirates also emptied the royal palace of the Ryukyu Imperial Family. Those gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, all were sent to the Ming Dynasty intact.
At this time, the king of the Ryukyus softened with a handful of noses, snot and tears.
After the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty found out, they did not reprimand the Jinsha Pirate Group for disobeying the order. It was also the Ryukyus that did not do it right, and the Ming Dynasty was also short of money. The wealth sent to the door will naturally not be pushed out.
At this point, the turmoil in the East China Sea was limited to the Qing Kingdom.
In this way, it is also in the territory of Daming, which is quite calm. Anbei Province, which was often infested by wild people, retreated more and more inland due to the unsparing immigration of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous strangulation.
Borneo and the Philippines are unhurriedly implementing population replacement policies. Some of the Boni people migrated to the Philippines and the Malay Peninsula, while the other part moved to the two major provinces of Annam and Andong. A small number of Filipinos moved to Borneo, and the majority moved to Andong Province.
Because the Ming Dynasty is concentrating on domestic development, the progress of immigration is very slow. However, as long as the indigenous people of the Philippines and Borneo are not emptied, this population replacement policy will not stop.
The newly annexed Malay Peninsula was not included in the resettlement program due to unresolved reasons for the war. However, the local people have spontaneously migrated to Johor Bahru Town in the Malay Peninsula.
At this time, Fernando was invited by Lin Aofeng to enter the Ming Embassy in France again. Because he had been here too much, Fernando was not interested in observing the furnishings inside the Ming Embassy. didn't even drink tea, and asked Lin Aofeng about the reply from the top of the Ming Dynasty.
So Lin Aofeng pretended to be embarrassed and said the conditions after the high-level discussion of the Ming Dynasty.
That is, Ceylon cannot be returned, but the territory of Canada can be used to pay off debts. In addition, antiseptic drugs for premonition and tablets for the treatment of influenza can also be discussed within this range. The Lakshadweep Islands can be returned to the United Kingdom. In the rebellion and rebellion of the princely states of South India, the Ming Dynasty will intervene and be responsible for mediation. The dispute in Northeast Bengal was also resolved by Daming.
This result is indeed very good for the UK. After all, India's wealth is staggering, and if it can be kept, it must be preserved. It's just Ceylon, after all, it's a pity.
After this, a preliminary consensus was reached. The two sides of Ming and Ying, after several days of bargaining, negotiated in detail. Fernando finally represented Britain and signed the Treaty of Nancy with the Ming Dynasty.
Specifically, the British used the form of repayment to transfer the area west of Lake Winnipeg and the Nelson River to the Ming Dynasty. This included the northern part of the Labrador Peninsula, as well as the later states of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Minnesota in the United States.
Such a vast territory surpasses the Xiazhou of the Ming Dynasty.
It is also a sparsely populated area and a harsh climate. In addition, the newly independent United States has always been eyeing British territory. That's why the British wanted to bring Daming in. So that the United States will abandon the plans for the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick, etc.
At the same time, it can also disconnect Spain's Mexican territory from the British territory. So that there will be no conflict of interest between Britain and Spain. and to form a deterrent to the Russian Alaska region to the north.
In general, Da Ming stepped in. For the UK, there are obvious advantages.
On the Indian side, the Ming Dynasty returned the Lakshadweep Islands to Britain. The Maldafu Islands are also neutral in the British sense. Not only can Ming and Britain not be able to garrison troops, but other countries cannot also garrison troops here. Otherwise, the Ming and British have the right to expel the troops from the island.
As for what Sultan Mardafu thinks, it is not within Mingying's consideration.
The island of Ceylon was also officially transferred to the Ming Dynasty. As a condition, Daming will sell a batch of flu drugs to Britain at a low price. In the war between South India and Bengal, the Ming Society was responsible for mediating. However, as an annex, this is outside the scope of the Treaty of Nancy.
At this point, the battle between Ming and Ying can be regarded as the real end.
But both sides know that this is just a process, not an end. After all, a peace treaty can never bring true peace.
(There are only three chapters left, which is considered to be a good promise.) I wanted to be four watches, but unfortunately the state is a little unsatisfactory, please see the cold. )
