Two days later than Zheng Anxi, who arrived in Xinhai City, on November 15, the 18th year of Wucheng of Huaxia, Zeng Xiaoxu, the minister of the Qin Mission, and the governor of the Yamen Nanyang Division, arrived at the port of Ma (Nila), and after resting for a while, listening to the brief report of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate and the Privy Council of Luzon, and understanding the current situation, Zeng Xiaoxu immediately sent his attaché to conduct the first round of negotiations with the Sulu.

The Sulu people put forward three main proposals: the determination of the territory, the return of the plundered population, and the trade between the two sides; Corresponding to the five peace conditions proposed by the Chinese side, including the return of captured soldiers, compensation for military expenses, the opening of a commercial port outside the city of General Sánchez, the restraint of Sulu pirates, and the Sulu tribute; The two sides then negotiated each of these bills one by one.

The so-called determination of the territory of the Sulu people not only demanded that Mindanao, Siagha, Dinagat, Camiguin, Hor, and Balanci, which are currently under the control of the country, be included in Sulu, but also demanded that Huaxia return the Tapur Islands, Tawitawi Islands, Pangutanan Islands, and Cagayan Sulu Islands seized during the war, and more excessively, demanded that Huaxia hand over Long Island and its affiliated islands, the entire Visayas Islands, and the city of General Sanchez on Mindanao to Sulu. If these demands were met by the Chinese court, Sulu's territory would have at least doubled in size and encircled the island of Luzon.

In response to the greed of the Sulu people, the representative of the Chinese mission sternly refused, and proposed that Sulu withdraw from Siagao and other parts of the Visayas that it occupied, and only allow it to retain the territory of Mindanao, Baranci, Sarangani Island, etc., and not return the city of General Sanchez, which had not yet been conquered by the Sulus.

Since there was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of territorial claims, the two sides could only put this issue aside for the time being and instead discuss the demands of the Chinese side to restrain the Sulu pirates.

Sulu pirates are well-known in the area around the Sulu Sea, and their robbery has even reached the area of Brunei and the Maluku Strait, bringing a serious danger to the people of all ethnic groups along the coast -- in another time and space, the Sulu pirates have also developed into violent terrorist organizations such as the Moro National Liberation Front and the Abu Zayev armed group after the 20th century -- it can be said that they are an alternative kind of pirates active around the Sulu Sea, and they are a tumor in the regional exhibition.

In the past, China only had the Long Island and Northern Boni Domains in the Sulu Sea region, and Luzon and the East Indies were also the spheres of influence of the Spaniards and the Dutch, so they did not feel more about this evil disease, but now Luzon and the East Indies have fallen into the hands of China, and the monopoly of the spice trade and its transportation also belongs to China.

For the requirements of the Chinese side, the Sulu mission wanted to take a look, but some of them understood that the Chinese court was not really afraid of Sulu, so they were forced to beg for mercy, but the Chinese court felt that it was worth the loss to spend a lot of energy to teach Sulu, a small country, that it was willing to accept Sulu's request for peace, so once it really involved the lifeblood of China, the huge Chinese empire would definitely pounce on Sulu like a prehistoric beast and tear Sulu to pieces, and the Sulu sea route is obviously one of the lifeblood of China. They are not allowed to bargain on the topic of piracy.

As a last resort, the Sulu side accepted Huaxia's request in its entirety and promised to stop the domestic people from going to sea to plunder - in fact, Sulu did not do well in this regard in the future, although this was because the feudal state had limited binding power on the grassroots, but it was undeniable that the Sulu high-level was deliberately indulgent, so this also caused the second Sulu War that was born later, of course, these are all later stories.

Feeling that he had not received anything, but had agreed to a request from the Huaxia side first, the Sulu people would soon return the plundered population, and the problem would be difficult for the Huaxia side. It stands to reason that the Sulu people's demands are not excessive, but the Sulu people and local natives who were captured on the islands of Cagayan Sulu, Pangutan, and Siquihor have all been sold as slaves to the various clans in the south.

Seeing that they would not return these people from the hands of the Chinese, the Sulu people could only use this demand as a bargaining chip, and then demanded that the Chinese side redeem the captured soldiers with gold as heavy as their bodies. However, after the victory of the Sulu in the Battle of Marawi, the Sulu people wantonly slaughtered, so that in the end, the number of Shence officers and soldiers who survived was only about 20, so although the Sulu people asked for a lot of money, the total amount of ransom was actually not much - of course, there were not many to fight for, so after the Chinese mission, the Sulu people finally accepted the offer to redeem the Shence officers and soldiers with the same weight of silk, and allowed the Chinese side to send people to Malawi to find the corpses of the fallen Chinese military officers at the price of 300 silks, thus ending the two sidesThe "human" aspect.

In view of the fact that the Sulu side regarded itself as the victor and resolutely could not promise to compensate the Xia army for military expenses, Zeng Xiaoxu and others, who did not receive the mandatory requirements of the Chinese court when they left Beijing, made up for it by opening more commercial ports. In this regard, although the Sulu side was willing to expand the export of local spices, sandalwood, borneol, resin, pearls, and turtles, it was extremely indifferent to the Chinese side's request to open more trading ports - this is actually understandable, and the Sulu people even wanted to take back the city of General Sanchez, so how could they agree to the Xia army to continue to build a new stronghold on Mindanao?

So the question came back to the territorial dispute between the two sides -- the Chinese side quickly came up with the Spaniards' delivery document to prove that their claim was reasonable, but unfortunately the Sulu people thought that the Spaniards were also invaders, and the whole of Luzon was Sulu, and it was already a shame to not ask Huaxia to return to Luzon Island.

Whether it was a chicken and a duck, or a show that the soldiers were unclear and unclear, the Sulu people who were messing around made up their minds anyway, but they did not publicly proclaim that "what is mine is mine, not mine, and it is also mine after saying that it is mine", and the angry Hualu mission then took the initiative to break off the negotiations between the two sides and sent a ship to return the Sulu mission.

On 19 November, in order to exert pressure on the Sulu side, Zeng Xiaoxu mobilized the troops of the 11th Division of the Longxiang Army, which belonged to the Eighth Fleet of the Xia Army's Naval Division, to land in Balancia and Mindanao at Zamboanga Port in two routes.6 The 1st Brigade of the 11th Division of the Long Champong Army, which had been under the prior care of Ma Ying, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council, then swept across the entire island of Balancy with an unstoppable momentum, and the 2nd Brigade of the Division in Zamboanga Teng6 also successively captured the eastern areas of Mindanao, such as Siwugue, Bita, and Sidgakorn.

On 22 November, the five regiments of the Shence Army, which had retreated to Cebu Island and Leyte Island for recuperation, also returned to Bohol Island and Dinagat Island to carry out a new round of cleanup of the Sulu Army on the islands.

Under the threat of the Xia army, the Sulu side, which had been exposed to the skin of the victors, could only transfer the coastal population and troops to the six inner mountains and forests again, and on the other hand, send envoys to the Xia army's camp to demand the resumption of negotiations.

On the 9th of December, the negotiations between Malaysia and Hong Kong resumed, and the two sides re-discussed the parts that had not reached an agreement.

On 11 December, the Sulu side accepted the advice of the Chinese mission to keep Mindanao, Siagao, Camiguin, Dinagat, and Sarangani, Kawhevo, and Nenoosa Islands north of the Sanchi Islands at the expense of relinquishing the islands of Baranci, the Tapur Islands, the Pangutan Islands, the Tawi Tawi Islands, the Cagayan Sulu Islands, and the Visayas Islands north of the Bohol Sea and west and north of Leyte Gulf.

On 16 December, after Huaxia agreed to abandon and demolish the city of General Sánchez and move the Eighth Fleet garrison to Hole Island, the Sulu side agreed to open trade in Zamboanga, Gedabadu, and Davao, and agreed that Huaxia merchants would set up wooden fences and stone warehouses in the commercial port to protect their goods.

On 17 December, the Chinese mission, which was about to reach an agreement with the Sulu side on tributaries, suddenly received an order from the Wuchang Express Ship to change the treaty of suzerain-vassal domain to a treaty of commerce. For this sudden change, the Sulu side was shocked, although the Huaxia mission explained that it was because of the Sulu people's struggle that the Huaxia court gave special treatment, but in the face of the fact that only the Sulu family was not a Huaxia vassal, the Sulu people had to worry that Huaxia had other intentions against them.

However, no matter what other intentions were, the peace between the two sides was finally realized -- on December 22, the 18th year of Wucheng, Zeng Xiaoxu, the minister of peace of China, the Sulu envoy Corot, and the Sulu prince Maraxun formally signed the "Xia-Su Trade Treaty" in the port of Ma (Nila) on behalf of the two people. Although the treaty was only valid for seven years, it meant that the boiling and noisy waters of the South Seas that had been boiling since the 16th year of Wucheng had finally died down, and from now on, the hope of ocean-going colonization and peaceful trade replaced the sound of guns and rebellion as the mainstream of the region

In the years following the signing of the Treaty of Commerce, the Eighth Fleet,6 which had been set aside for ocean-sweeping exploration, continued to include the entire Caroline Islands including the East I (Palau) Islands, the East II (Ngulu) Islands, the Northeast (Northern Marianas) Islands, and the Marshall Islands further east; The Ninth Fleet, whose main base is in Ambon, has also appeared in a series of Central Pacific islands, such as the Yingtai (Solomon) Islands, New Long Island (New Caledonia), New East (New Hebrides) Islands, and Youdong (Fiji) Islands, and finally the entire Polynesian Islands.

But for China, the most important thing is still the last two islands of the lost overseas Five Immortal Mountains in the 23rd year of Wucheng - Daiyu and Wuqiao (South Island and North Island of New Zealand); In addition, while following the galleons sent by the vice-crown of New Mexico to trade, the Trek Chinese sailors also unexpectedly discovered Midway, which was vital to the entire Pacific route, and its neighbor, Hawaii-Honolululu, not far to the southeast.

This period of continuous surprises has a strong mark in the history of China and even the history of the world in the future, known as the "Great Age of the Chinese Sea" or "the Great Age of Exploration of the Chinese People", marking the establishment of China's hegemony in the Pacific Ocean from then on, and then making the future Pacific era belong to the Chinese Empire that is in charge of the world
