On June 17, the 10th year of Wucheng in China, the six countries of Huaxia, Siam, Annam, Vietnam, Chenla, and Champa met in the city of Asai, located at the mouth of the Nantong River. The Nantong River is a tributary of the Mekong River, and Asse was originally a small city with a population of only 100 households, but with the arrival of foreign envoys and their retinues, it quickly became a misshapen and prosperous town.

In fact, prior to this meeting, the six participating countries had already reached a series of treaties on the division of their territories.

Among them, Huaxia bought from Annam the area north of the Beiwu River, one of the tributaries of the Mekong River, and the northernmost area of Laos north of the Mangbei River, the upstream river of Majiang, the main river of Annam, in Laos, at a price of 5 million guan in 10 years, and also obtained all of Laizhou Province in northwest China from Annam for a one-time payment of 750,000 guan.

In another plane, selling land is an incredible thing. However, for the Zheng Dynasty of Annam, which had lost a lot of manpower and financial resources in the ten-year campaign to conquer Liao, the hostile but difficult to conquer local Tusi, barren output, and difficult mountain roads made Laizhou Province and Liaobei become tasteless chicken ribs that were abandoned and regrettable, and it was not an unacceptable transaction to use such chicken ribs to obtain large sums of gold and silver from the Chinese imperial court.

For the Huaxia Dynasty, it is far more cost-effective to obtain a large piece of land with a small amount of money than to conquer it by force, as for whether the people of Annam will regret it in the future and whether they will get into trouble because of this, in Zheng Kezang's view, as long as the Chinese force does not fall, this land can be preserved. What's more, with the ability of the Chinese to take root and the degree of Sinicization, it is not a simple matter to take away this land from the hands of Huaxia.

After obtaining the above-mentioned land in the northern part of Laos and the northwestern part of Annam from Annam, Zheng Kezhang resettled Fuzhou on the spot, and renamed the former Lao Province of Phongsali to Phong Chau, the former Luang Namtha Province to Nam Tha Province, the former Luang Prabang Province to Funan Province, the former Udomxay Province to Mangzhou Province, and the former Annam Laizhou Province to Hexi Zhili Prefecture. Later, the above state capitals and Lin'an Prefecture, Pu'er Prefecture, and Yuanjiang Zhili Prefecture, which originally belonged to Yunnan, formed a new province, and Zheng Kezhang gave the name to Liaobei and other places, and the province was placed in Lin'an Mansion (Jianshui County).

In addition to selling large tracts of land to China, Annam actually obtained a large territory from the "remains" of Laos, for which Annam signed a treaty with Siam, with the Mekong River as the boundary, with Annam to the east of the river and Siam to the west of the river; Under the arrangement of the Chinese people, Annam also formally signed a treaty with Vietnam, in addition to maintaining the original border, the territory of Laos is bounded by the Nantong River, one of the tributaries of the Mekong River, Hebei belongs to Annam, and Henan belongs to Vietnam.

Vietnam also signed treaties with Siam and Chenla, stipulating that they were also bounded by the Mekong River, with the east of the river belonging to Vietnam and the west of the river belonging to Siam and Chenla. While confirming the borders with Siam and Chenla, Vietnam also established its borders with the Huaa province of Cam Ranh. The two countries used the San River, one of the tributaries of the Mekong River, and the Gong River in southern Vietnam as geographical indications to divide the two countries, and Huaxia exchanged land north of the San River and south of the Gong River for Vietnam's territory in the northern part of the Tay Plains Highlands, so that the northern border of Huaxia Cam Ranh Province expanded to the southern part of Nghe Binh Province and Song Cao Province of Vietnam in another time and space.

The two countries are divided by the Tongnai River, with Hedong and Henan as the territory of Champong, and Hexi and Hebei as the territory of China. During this period, Champa occupied about all of Thuan Hai Province, most of Lam Dong Province, and a dozen districts east of Ho Chi Minh City in another time and space.

Chenla received the part of Laos in Champasak province west of the Mekong River, and the area east of the Sai River, including the future Bangkok area, from Siam, on the condition that the compensation for the Nakhon Ratchasima Plateau offered by Siam be given up to Huaxia, and the coastal areas south of the Cardamom Mountains were given to Huaxia.

The Huaxia who got the area south of the Cardamom Mountains also made some compensation to Zhenla, and the price of 600,000 guan in the next ten years was enough to make up for the wounded hearts of Zheta IV and the nobles of Jinben, as for what the local lords would think and act, the situation of the Zhenla lords in the area west of the Mekong River would be their best lesson from the past.

Although Siam gave up a small piece of land in the southeast, it obtained from Annam the province of Shayaburi in Laos, which is located east of the Mekong River, and the gains were actually greater than the losses.

But then again, in addition to the Lao people who died in the country, only the weak Zhenla in this determination of the territory of each country is roughly the same, which can be regarded as a frustrated person, as for the small country and the widow of the city can save the country under the wings of China is already a great luck, the whole country does not have the dream of expanding the territory at all, but is more accepting of reality than the Zhenla people who suffer from gains and losses.

In this way, a group of representatives of a proud country, a representative of a frustrated country, and a representative of a soy sauce country gathered in Asai, and a far-reaching meeting began.

"According to the edict of the Emperor of China, Xiao Yuer and other countries, as soon as the war is opened, the lives are ruined, the people are displaced, and the people are miserable, which is what the monarchs and ministers of the countries want to see? Now that the borders of the countries are established, it is time to put aside the armor and repair the alliance, so as to lay the foundation for peace for all ages. "As the suzerainty of the participating countries, Huang Xinzhi, the deputy minister of the Yamen Affairs of the Governor of China, Fan Yang, naturally became the host of the meeting." If there is a disobedient person, the sky will hate it, and all countries will attack it together! ”

The envoys of the various countries repeated in different languages: "If there is a violation of the covenant, the heavens will hate it, and all the nations will strike at it." ”

Putting away Zheng Kezang's holy decree, Huang Xinzhi put on a smile on his face: "Gentlemen, please get up." ”

Waiting for the envoys to turn over and sit down, Huang Xinzhi continued: "Since the great purpose of the Holy Saint has been decided, then let's implement it one by one. What do you think the adults mean? ”

The envoys did not object, in fact, it was a good thing for all countries that the countries advocated by China to never go to war again, and the huge amount of military expenditure saved alone was enough for all countries to recuperate.

"Let's start with the easy ones." Huang Xinzhi said with a strange smile on his face. For example, in the future, the tariffs on spices, rice, timber, tin, lead, precious stones, furs, ivory, cane sugar, dyes, gastrodia, jute, sisal, coal, iron ore, gold and silver exported by our countries will be reduced by 50 to 80 percent; On the other hand, the DPRK hopes that all countries will cut tariffs on porcelain, silk, tea, glass, mirrors, firearms, sulfur, saltpeter, ironware, etc., which we import. In addition, it is hoped that tariffs will be cut in the same way for goods exchanged between countries. ”

The envoys looked at each other. In fact, most of the trade between countries is now controlled by Chinese merchants, and the total amount of trade between them is much less than that of China. Therefore, the so-called reduction of tariffs has actually opened the door for China to import raw materials at low prices and dump goods at low prices. However, this purpose is still too obscure and incomprehensible to the current envoys of various countries, so after hesitating for a while, they all nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled." Huang Xinzhi then put forward Zheng Kezang's proposition on the intermarriage of the royal families. "Marriage helps countries understand each other, everyone has become relatives, naturally there will be no major contradictions, as for the inevitable little dirty, it will be convenient for our dynasty to mediate at that time."

The key to this sentence lies in the end, but for all countries, marriage is more impactful, although there are a series of considerations such as language barriers, but the envoys feel that if there is a big country relative is good for maintaining the rule of their respective monarchs, they only hate that Huaxia does not give marriages often, there are no thicker thighs to hug, and it is not bad to hug the host country.

"The third and fourth princes of our country are of marriage age and have not yet married wives, but if they can, they are willing to marry the nations."

Some anxious envoys made their own demands to other countries without even informing their own countries, and even if others had doubts, they could not stand the atmosphere at the meeting, and they all reported their demands one by two.

"I am afraid that the city will not be able to intermarry with the nations." Looking at the somewhat disappointed envoy of the city, Huang Xinzhi explained. "It's not that Champa is small, but Champa believes in the Heavenly Religion, while other countries believe in Buddhism, if the Champa royal family does not convert, it will be troublesome to marry with other countries." The explanation is reasonable, and there is nothing to say about the Champa side. "The other four countries, there are currently six marriage requests, I don't know if the countries will let the prince and the princess meet each other on a blind date, or will it be broken off by our dynasty?"

Of course, the marriage is not to see whether the other party is handsome and beautiful, whether it is gentle-tempered, but how it helps, as for the object is not in line with their own minds, princes can marry another concubine, princesses, sorry, in today's Asia, women have no choice, and no one cares about their feelings.

"It's better for the Celestial Empire to cut off."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhenla's envoy preemptively expressed his attitude, and as soon as he said this, the big guys figured it out. That's right, this marriage was originally a matter between the two countries, but if Huaxia was allowed to break off, this marriage would have the endorsement of the Huaxia court, which would obviously better close the relationship between the two royal families.

"Okay, later the official will report the situation of the marriageable prince and princess to the saint, and the saint will call the shots." Huang Xinzhi smiled and agreed. "Countries just wait for good news." Speaking of this, Huang Xinzhi's face became stern. "Then let's talk about how to reduce the armor. What I mean by this is that all countries are going to reduce their troops??????"

Disarmament? The envoys present were a little undecided.

It was the messenger of Champa who was the first to respond: "Our country can keep only 800 soldiers. ”

Champa is a small country under the wings of China, and no one dares to do anything to him even if they don't keep a single soldier, so the statement of the Champa envoy is more Cheng dù is to take sides.

After the envoys of Champa, the envoys of Zhenla also made a statement: "Now that our country's four borders have been determined, there are rivers and mountains as obstacles, and our dynasty does not need to keep a large army, so our dynasty can only leave 5,000 soldiers." ”

The local power in Zhenla is stronger than the royal power, and the retention of 5,000 by the royal army does not mean anything.

Therefore, the envoy of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam objected: "Our country has recently been subordinated, and the localities have not yet been fully submissive. ”

The Siamese envoy also objected: "The eastern territory of our country is stable, but there is a constant threat of Burma in the west, how can we reduce the troops??????"
