Chapter 1211: Indochina Peninsula

As Haihan's most important political ally and military partner, the total price of military purchase orders submitted by Annan to Haihan every year is an extremely staggering amount, and it is also one of Haihan's main sources of income in the export of military equipment. Especially in recent years, Annam has gradually become peaceful in China, and the imperial court is also learning from the ruling ideas of the Haihan Dynasty and strengthening the large-scale operation of maritime trade and agricultural and forestry products.

Haihan has always attached great importance to the market of Annam, the more densely populated central and northern regions of Annam are much closer to Sanya than Fujian and the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong, and like the Ming Dynasty, it is an agrarian country, which is suitable for selling Haihan's primary industrial products. Although these iron utensils were shipped across the sea, the price was lower than the cost price of similar products in Annam, and according to the official agreement reached between the two countries in the early years, Annam did not have any threshold for importing goods from Haihan, which provided the greatest convenience for Haihan to earn scissors in Annam with industrial products.

Although the profits of these industrial products are not as high as those of military products, they are very practical tools of production and life for Annan, which has an agricultural population as the main body of society, and Han Zhengshan used to think that the Haihan people only sold precious commodities such as glass products, high-end wine, and munitions, but he did not expect that the operation method in Annan was different, and the goods sold to the people were mainly cheap daily necessities.

Of course, this is only Han Zhengshan's more one-sided view, in fact, in the relatively wealthy northern region of Annan, there are many more valuable goods sold by Haihan to the market. The glass products imported from Haihan every year in the capital city of Thang Long Mansion are not much worse than even in big cities like Guangzhou. The most lucrative military equipment is sent to the military port on the Tu Son Peninsula in the north, directly delivered to the military in Annam, and then distributed and installed in various garrisons by the military, and will not be openly traded in civilian ports such as Da Nang.

Han Zhengshan also paid attention to the goods sold to Haihan in Annam, which were basically primary agricultural products mainly rice, livestock and poultry. In fact, Haihan's domestic grain production already had some surplus on a self-sufficient basis, which could be transported to various overseas colonies north of Hainan Island. However, due to the limited degree of development of some colonies in the South China Sea, the local grain production is not enough to support their own consumption, so they will buy from the nearest grain-producing countries such as Annam and Champong, and the freight cost to the destination can basically offset the difference in the price of grain from the Haihan region.

With Han Zhengshan's economic common sense, it is naturally difficult to realize what the difference in trade between the two sides means, but he can see one thing very clearly, the influence of Haihan in the local area is so great that it is no different from that in China. Although this place was nominally "loaned" by the Kingdom of Annam to the Haihan to operate, the situation that Han Zhengshan saw here, whether it was the Haihan people or the Annamite people, regarded this place as the territory of the Haihan, the official language of the Haihan was used for communication, the Haihan negotiable notes were used for transactions, and the only yamen was the Da Nang Management Committee under the Haihan.

Han Zhengshan asked a few sailors, only to learn that Annam did not set up an official institution in Da Nang, and completely handed over the governance power to Haihan. Even the warships of the Haihan Navy can freely enter the harbor and berth, and there is no restriction on this, and it seems that Haihan is completely undefended. Or to put it another way, it seems that the rulers of the Kingdom of Annam did not regard this place as their own territory anymore, but as a territory of the Haihan bordering Annam.

Whether this is complete trust or fear of Haihan, Han Zhengshan is really hard to judge. However, the number of troops stationed here was very small, and only one company of the army was a serious combat unit, all of which were stationed at the hillside batteries near the mouth of the harbor. The navy also stationed an equipment maintenance platoon here, but most of the members are professional shipwrights, who only assist in the repair and maintenance of passing naval vessels, which may be one of the reasons why Annan is more reassured. However, this time, the scale of Haihan's southward fleet was huge, and after entering the port, he still sent a special person to the nearby Annan government office to deliver an official document, so as not to misunderstand the Annan official.
