June 24th of the tenth year of Huaxia Wucheng? The city of Annam

Although Annam did not directly oppose it, he also believed that Zhongliao had just been conquered and that it was impossible not to retain a certain amount of suppressive force.

In the face of the chaos on the scene, Huang Xinzhi said: "I am afraid that my lord has misunderstood, and the meaning of our dynasty is not to comprehensively reduce the ** forces, but to reduce the standing armies of various countries. ”

Huang Xinzhi gave an example: "Now Annan has 50,000 imperial camps, but how many soldiers and horses did Annan use in the war against Laos? There are no less than 100,000 before and after, as for Vietnam, the imperial army is known as 30,000, but 80,000 soldiers and horses were fully mobilized in the battle of Liao, how did this difference come about? It was nothing more than a temporary requisition, so why not expand the scope of the requisition and reduce the number of the imperial camp and the imperial army a little, so as to save huge military expenses? ”

The faces of the envoys of Annam and Vietnam were ugly, but Huang Xinzhi turned a blind eye and said to himself: "Now it is no longer as good as ten years ago when it was sporadically equipped with firearms. ”

Huang Xinzhi lamented hypocritically: "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that our dynasty and the northern captives have not been expelled, it would be impossible for our dynasty to raise so many troops. ”

Huang Xinzhi said in front, and immediately blocked the mouths of all parties, and after a long time, Annan's envoy responded: "What Lord Huang said is not true, this firearm is to be trained every year after it becomes an army, and the cost is indeed amazing, but the reduction of the imperial camp is a matter of importance, and it is not up to us to decide, whether to cut or not, how much to cut, and we have to report to Shenglong to be decided by our lord." ”

The Vietnamese envoy echoed: "Exactly, exactly, although we are said to be plenipotentiary envoys, but this matter is very important, and we can not decide, we have to fly to the country, let the lord personally decide, and ask Lord Hoang to forgive time." ”

Before Huang Xinzhi could speak, the Siamese envoy stood up: "Annam, Vietnam, Chenla, and Champa are all in the east, and they may be able to reduce troops and horses, but in the face of Burma's continuous advance, there is really no possibility of reducing troops." ”

Huang Xinzhi thought for a while and proposed a new proposal: "If Siam is unable to lay off troops under Burmese oppression, how about moving the eastern troops and horses to the provinces of Siam?" In this way, Annam and Vietnam can also rest easy. ”

This was an option, and the envoys of Annam and Vietnam agreed to it, because the reason why the two countries did not agree to disarmament was because they needed to guard against Siamese soldiers crossing the Mekong.

Huaxia has formed a consensus with Annam and Vietnam, and this kind of pressure is irresistible to Siam, so the Siamese envoy rolled his eyes and responded: "It is not impossible for our country to withdraw its troops from the west, but what if Annam and Vietnam betray the alliance and invade our country across the river?" Although the covenant stipulates that once there is a matter, all countries will discuss it together, but the damage to our country cannot be remedied by the land, not to mention that the matter was born at the time of the Burmese invasion. ”

The words of the Siamese envoy seem a bit far-fetched, after all, judging from today's communication level, it is basically impossible for Annam and Vietnam to act synchronously with Burma, but this gives Huang Xinzhi a chance: "This matter is easy to do, and the matter of cutting off all countries will be borne by our naval division, and in the future, our naval division will send ships to patrol the Mekong River and the boundary river separating various countries day and night. ”

The essence of Huang Xinzhi's proposal was to obtain the right to move on the Mekong River and the border rivers of various countries, and once this power was obtained by Huaxia, then the commercial and trade exchanges between the countries would be completely controlled by Huaxia, and even Huaxia could obtain suitable leased land along the Mekong River in the name of seeking the nearest port of call for naval ships.

It's a pity that everyone understands this truth, but countries don't trust each other, and only power is ceded to Huaxia, as the suzerain.

The representative of Zheta IV took the lead in expressing his position: "This mention is very good, and it depends on the maintenance of the Celestial Empire." ”

Zhenla made his position clear, and Annan, which was closer to Huaxia, quickly followed suit: "My country has no opinion. ”

In this case, Vietnam, which does not have a naval division, has no objection: "If the Celestial Empire sends troops to maintain it, I think all countries can be stable." ”

Siam, who was forced into a corner, obviously had no way to retreat: "The countries are not opposed, and our country is not opposed, but who will bear the military expenses of this naval division, and the ugly words are in the front, even if we share a part, our country cannot afford it." ”

Now the eyes of the envoys fell on themselves, and Huang Xinzhi smiled: "Naturally, I will bear it myself." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Huang Xinzhi add: "It's just that the Mekong River and the border rivers of various countries are too long, and it is impossible for my sailors to sail from the mouth of the sea every time, and they still need to find a few anchoring places nearby, which requires the countries to provide them free of charge. As for the specific size, I think it is as big as the original city of Asse. The berthing points on the Mekong River below the San River and the San River are the responsibility of our province of Cam Ranh itself, and we do not have to work with Chinla and Vietnam, but we need at least three or five places to go up the river, and we still ask all countries to bother. ”

The envoys of various countries looked at each other, but the Zhenla people were the first to speak: "Our country can arrange, please set up a water village at the mouth of the Meng River, and also ask the Celestial Empire to arrange the line of the Chaoye River (Chao Phraya River) and the Sai River." ”

In fact, his purpose is to confuse the water, and you don't want to please him, but his statement made the rest of the Mekong countries feel embarrassed.

It was the second envoy of Annan to speak: "It stands to reason that the Huaxia Navy Division is responsible for cruising the Mekong River, and it is not too much to ask for a few anchored water villages, but I just want to know, how many troops is the Celestial Empire is preparing to station in various water villages?" ”

"Of course there won't be many," Huang Xinzhi smiled. "In a place as big as Ace, there is no room for more than a thousand people, and a part of it must be set aside as a boat yard, school yard, and warehouse, so you can imagine how many people can be stationed in the end." When Huang Xinzhi said this, several envoys felt that it was the same thing. "Since this matter has not yet been implemented, I don't know how to arrange my official in the future, but with my previous understanding, I will cruise in sections with the sailor, and this water village is just a place to suspend and rest."

"I understand it in the next place, and I can accept it to the country, but it will take time before there is a response."

As soon as the envoy from Annam said this, the Vietnamese and Siamese also responded, and several interpreters were busy for a while.

"Understood, understood, this official understood." Huang Xinzhi still responded with a smile on his face. "Several things are more serious, several adults have to wait for the instructions of the lord of the country, there is no problem, but there are some things in the letter that are not clear, why don't a few adults go back to their lives, how about we make an appointment with the local alliance on a later day?" Seeing that everyone did not object, Huang Xinzhi further said. "In the future, countries can hold regular meetings and discuss any problems on the table to be solved."

Vietnam has been competing with Annan since Nguyen Trung divided the country, and when he heard Hoang Xinzhi's words, the Vietnamese envoy, who was not satisfied with Annan's dominance, immediately said that the next time it could be held somewhere in Vietnam.

The Siamese people also had a similar expression, and Huang Xinzhi immediately decided: "The distance from this place to the capital division of various countries is not close, and the distance between them is afraid that it will be more than half a year, so it is better to go to Vietnam in April next year, you and I will go to the alliance in Shawan in Vietnam, and in April of the next year, we will go to Siam Mudahan on the other side of the strait, and then go to a certain place in Chenla, and then return to Annam four years later." ”

The four countries agreed, and although they wanted to be the host of Champong, they did not dare to fight with a few larger neighbors because of their weak national strength, so the matter was settled.

"Then, my lords, let's sign the agreed articles first." Huang Xinzhi demanded, and this request was quickly met, and a "Treaty of Arze" was signed. "By the way, since all the adults are going to return to China for instructions, this official will mention the other construction of my dynasty together, and ask a few adults to return to China together." After the treaty was signed, Huang Xinzhi threw out another topic. "In view of the fact that Burma's aggressive heart has not changed, and not only threatens Siam, but also Annam, Vietnam, and Chenla, so our dynasty may build a country or form an army of 10,000 people in case of emergency, and of course our dynasty can send 4,000 troops."

The army of 10,000 people, if it is evenly shared, excluding the city of Zhancheng, each country only needs to send 2,000 people, and after Huaxia has a large head, each country even needs to pay 1,000 and a half, whether it is from the perspective of manpower or financial resources, the impact on countries is not very much, but the key is that after Huaxia has a large head, the command of this army will naturally fall into the hands of Huaxia, which is why several envoys cannot agree immediately, and they need to bring them back to China to make it clear.

After this final bomb was dropped, the Argentine meeting was declared over, and the envoys of various countries went home, and they had too much to report, and from this point of view, the Argentine meeting was a meeting that was destined to have far-reaching impact, if not a successful meeting and a victorious meeting.

Before parting, Huang Xinzhi found the Vietnamese envoy alone: "Lord Ding, this official still has a separate copy for your country." ”

The envoy surnamed Ding had to listen patiently, and listened to Huang Xinzhi say: "Now that Annan has reformed the prefecture and county according to the system of our dynasty, Zhenla has also promised to descend to the province as a prefecture, and Siam has always used the prefecture and county system. ”

This is a clear interference in Vietnam's internal affairs, but the big fist is effective, so the Vietnamese envoy can only promise to say: "Xia Guan will bring the message of the adults back to Phu Xuan ??????"
