Chapter 195: Results

The fact that Australians have been in a uproar in the Ming Dynasty to lease Hong Kong has finally come to an end.

Jin Yiwei commanded Zheng Hongkui to send a secret report that the Australians were not leasing Hong Kong, they were only here to store goods and dock ships.

In addition, the Australians also said that if the Ming court felt that it was inappropriate, they could naturally leave and go to Annan and other places to stop.

Of course, this departure must be fake, Australia has finally opened the Ming market, how can it easily leave, not to mention the establishment of a military base in Hong Kong and the intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Under the persuasion of some vested interests, Chongzhen finally gave up pursuing the Australians, and instead focused on how to deal with the peasant army and Houjin.

After all, compared to these, even if the Australians stationed a little force in Hong Kong, it is a small thing, and it is not too late to investigate the major internal affairs after they are dealt with, not to mention that the Australians' goods are now very popular in Daming.

In addition, what made Chongzhen the happiest was that the Australians promised to give the Ming court 100,000 taels of silver every year for the temporary use of Hong Kong.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the tax revenue was already rotten and could not be rotten anymore, and for them, 100,000 taels was a lot of income no matter where they were used.

Now the Australians actually took the initiative to propose, which is equivalent to solving some of the urgent needs of the Ming court, otherwise they will have to provide disaster relief, recruit soldiers, and distribute the money to the courtiers, and I really don't know where this money comes from.

Since Chongzhen has decided to settle the matter, he also knows that he is issuing a will to the Australians, saying that he will not be held accountable for what he says about the feelings of his compatriots, and he will accept the 100,000 taels of silver with a smile.

This is the Celestial Empire, even if the poor jingle rings, Australia will naturally not say anything about such a will, but thinks that this is a good thing, at least it can prove Australia's legitimate rights and interests in Hong Kong, which is more binding than the contract signed in Xin'an County.

A crisis between Ming and Australia was successfully resolved, but also some Australian agents breathed a sigh of relief, now that the imperial court has agreed to continue to make a lot of money, in order to enhance the relationship between them, these agents began to invite officials in the Guangzhou Office to attend various banquets in three days.

For a time, the restaurants in Guangzhou City would have rich merchants charter the venue every night, and the owners of these restaurants were also very happy.

To say that the happiest is the Zheng family, the Zheng family not only obtained the cooperation of refined salt and sugar this time, but also participated in the production of cloth, but also obtained a lot of expensive Australian sharp arms, you must know that these arms were not willing to sell at a high price in the past, and this time if it were not for the pressure from the imperial court, I am afraid they would not be sold.

Of course, this knot also made Zheng Sen depressed, originally all the negotiations were his own, but as soon as his uncle arrived, he was completely changed, he was left aside, and even some of his suggestions were not adopted, originally he planned to propose to Australia if he could send a few officers to Australia to exchange and study for a period of time.

But as soon as it was proposed, it was vetoed by the uncle, and felt that this matter was not suitable for the present proposal, once the Australians felt that they were too angry about the demand, the first to bear the brunt was the Zheng family, the Zheng family has many ships at sea, and it is not sure that it will be attacked one day, according to the news sent by Batavia, the two warships of the Australians have been on the way to Hong Kong, and it is said that the cannons on this ship are the same as those used by the Sea Blue, and the maneuverability is very superior.

Under this premise, it is inevitable that Zheng Hongkui will not dare to make a request, who knows if the Australian old man is now making a delaying tactic, in case, then these requirements he mentioned earlier will become an excuse for the Australians to attack in the future.

The situation of that naval battle is still vivid, he doesn't want to repeat it, he knows better than anyone else the strength of the Australians, it is by no means as simple as the court thinks, if you want to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no resistance at all.

To be a man is to pay attention to proportion, can not get an inch into the appropriate to obtain some benefits, you must see the good and receive, if you don't understand the advance and retreat, the final loss must be yourself.

At present, my nephew also proposed to go to the Australian army to study and exchange, isn't it embarrassing, how could people agree. So without even thinking about it, Zheng Hongkui vetoed it.

However, if this request is directly proposed to Zhang Tianwen to obtain it and it can be approved, according to the warlord plan cultivated at the beginning, Zheng Sen is a suitable candidate in Australia, otherwise he would not have shown him military works such as infantry copying points.

I don't know if Zheng Sen deliberately revealed it, or if Zheng Hongkui saw how depressed he was, so Zhang Tianwen knew that he wanted to go to Australia to study and observe.

For this reason, Zhang Tianwen did not immediately express his position, but contacted the country, because according to the current law, it is still difficult for foreigners to enter Australia, so after he contacted, the domestic parliament and the president are very important, this Zheng Sen has always been a very optimistic candidate, if he can come to Australia to visit and study for a period of time, it will play a big role in the implementation of Australia's policy in Daming in the future.

After deliberation, the domestic government asked Zhang Tianwen to reveal that he could accept Zheng Sen's visit and study after a year.

The reason why we have to wait until a year later is because Manchester City is currently undergoing a major construction of the capital, and according to the construction schedule, this batch of construction tasks will be completed by the end of next year.

In the Yaju Pavilion in Guangzhou City, Zheng Sen raised a glass like Zhang Tianwen to toast, "Ambassador Zhang, this glass of wine is a toast to you, I don't know when we will be able to meet again, to be honest, you and Mr. Liu gave me two military books on the same day, which really benefited me a lot, if there is a chance, Zheng must go to Australia to see it." ”

"Hehe, welcome to Zheng Gongzi's arrival, I have a school in Australia to train military talents, if Zheng Gongzi comes, you can visit and study here."

School, cultivating military talents, Zheng Sen was curious, this is the first time he has heard it, it seems that Australia itself must go to it otherwise he will feel uneasy.

"If Zheng Gongzi is interested, he can submit an application to my country's diplomatic department to study abroad next year, and if he is approved, he will be able to go to Australia to study."

"That's it, it's very good, but Zheng also wants to go back to discuss with his father, but I have decided to go to Australia, and I hope that Ambassador Zhang can say a few kind words to Zheng's application like a domestic official."

"Haha, this is natural, Zheng Gongzi and I are friends, and I will help you."
