Chapter 276: Demarcation of Boundaries
It's not that Nguyen Phuc didn't believe Su Lang Thanh's words, in fact, in Hoi An all these years, Chinese businessmen would buy cane sugar at a higher price, which was much higher than the purchase price of Phlang Jiren, which made Chinese businessmen miserable, but they could only swallow their anger due to the oppression of Quang Nam officials.
However, with the rise of the Ming court in Luzon, after the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce entered Hoi An, it united the local Chinese businessmen in Hoi An in a short period of time, and greatly reduced the original purchase price.
This is why Hoi An's chamber of commerce is so supportive of Minh Dinh.
Because the Chinese merchants of Hoi An really got their own benefits from the rise of the Ming court.
The purchase of Cane Sugar in Guangnan at a price higher than 30% higher than that of Nanyang merchants such as Franc Ji is already the limit that the Four Seas Commercial Bank can afford.
"The matter of Chinese business trade can be discussed with local officials in Hoi An." Ruan Phuc was obviously a little impatient, and took a sip of the teacup.
"The Ming court forcibly occupied Jiading, should we give Guangnan an explanation." At this time, Ruan Youjing stood up and asked in a cold voice.
"The Ming court is just recruiting Ming people, there are more than 10,000 Ming people in Jiading, and the Ming court can't bear to be bullied by the Ming people, so it recovers Jiading." Su Langqing explained.
"Hehe, there are many Ming people in Jiading, so the Ming court recovers Jiading, so all parts of Guangnan, especially Hoi An Tang merchants, will the Ming court still occupy my Guangnan." Ruan Youjing shouted loudly.
In this regard, Su Langqing was not afraid of danger, and said with an indifferent smile: "Jiading is the homeland of Zhenla, because of the theft of Kyushu by the Tatar Qing Dynasty, resulting in a large number of my Ming people fleeing overseas, the Ruan lord is merciful and can't bear my Ming people to suffer, so Jiading is assigned to the Ming people to live and live, and the Zhenla people are fierce and cunning, slaughtering my Ming people, so the Jiading Ming people have no choice but to belong to my Ming court, the Chinese merchants in Guangnan are different, the Ruan lord is benevolent, so that the Ming people in Guangnan can live and work in peace and contentment, it is really happy, my Ming lord is naturally grateful to the benevolence of the Ruan lord, and how can he covet the land of the king of Guangnan."
"This time, the reason why my Ming court wants to trade with Guangnan is because I feel the great kindness of Lord Guangnan Ruan to the Ming people and want to make friends with Guangnan." Su Langqing said.
"I heard that the Zheng lord of the north has been coveting the land of the king of Guangnan, and the lord of Ruan led the royal division to defeat the Zheng army in the north several times, but unfortunately the Guangnan soldiers are brave but their fists are invincible with four hands, and they have been repeatedly oppressed by the Zheng army of many people, and they have to buy firearms at a high price from the Spaniards and the English, if Guangnan is willing to trade with my Ming Dynasty and form a good relationship between the two countries, then my Ming Dynasty is also willing to export firearms to Guangnan."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
The power of the Ming court's firearms had already been transmitted back to Quang Nam through the local war reports in Zhenla.
Ruan Youjing has personally experienced the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms.
Therefore, when he learned that the Ming army was willing to export firearms to Quang Nam, he couldn't help but be stunned.
However, Ruan Fuwei is also an old fox, and he was unmoved when he heard it, just drinking tea there and looking at the ministers with a comfortable face.
"The sharpness of the firearms of the Spaniards and the English is obvious to all, and it is not a secret that there are commercial houses of the Spaniards and the English in Hue City, and I have also purchased firearms from the Ming Dynasty, but they are just some tatters." A Quang Nam military general spoke.
"If my Ming firearms are broken copper and iron, then why can my Ming Ming make the Spaniards dare not leave Manila City?" Su Langqing asked rhetorically.
"This time, I came with sincerity, just to be good with Guangnan, I believe that Lord Ruan has read the letter written by my lord, Ming Court and Guangnan are neighbors with water and clothes, and they should be connected, so we have come all the way to meet Lord Ruan." Su Langqing no longer paid attention to these ministers, and bowed respectfully to Ruan Phuc.
Only then did Ruan Phuc Wei look up at the Chinese businessman in front of him.
"I'm afraid you're not just here for trade." Ruan Phuc said with a smile.
"Yes, this trip is not just for trade, but also hopes that the Ming Court and Guangnan can demarcate the border and stop fighting." Su Langqing finally said the purpose of this trip at this time.
"Oh, the border?" Ruan Phuc looked at Su Langqing with interest.
"The Ming court occupies Jiading, and the Ming court and Guangnan are bounded by the city of Zhancheng and will never be violated." Su Langqing said.
Ruan Fuwei's face sank, and his kind eyes instantly turned gloomy.
The Guangnan ministers below are also discussing.
Although today's Annam is in the Li Dynasty, but the essence is under the control of the Zheng Lord, Quang Nam is actually just a separatist regime, and the Zheng Lord has attacked Quang Nam several times, which is actually a move to unify Annam.
The power of Guangnan is far inferior to that of Zheng Zhu in the north, so in order to expand his power, he has to develop the south.
Whether it was the Ruan lords of Quang Nam in the past dynasties who sent troops to occupy the city, or sent troops to occupy the city to seize the land of Zhancheng, sent troops to intervene in the throne of Chenla, or allowed General Chen Yang to go to the area of Jiading, in fact, it was an act of Guangnan in order to strengthen its power in order to protect itself.
This is the same reason as the Ming court's continuous use of troops overseas in an attempt to increase its strength.
And now the Ming court not only occupied Jiading, but also wanted to occupy the city with Quang Nam as a boundary, which unintentionally angered Nguyen Phuc Binh.
"Come here today, let's go back to the post station to rest first!" Ruan Fuwei suddenly sighed and said softly.
Su Langqing didn't say anything more, and after saluting Ruan Fuxian, he withdrew respectfully.
When Su Langqing withdrew from the main hall, Ruan Fuwei was also angry, and motioned for the ministers to retreat, leaving only the princes Ruan Fuqin and Ruan Youjing.
The faces of the two were also very ugly, they didn't expect Ming Ting's ambitions to be so big.
"When the Ming Court sent troops to Jiading, we should have known the ambitions of these Ming people, but unfortunately, I should have brought thousands of troops to wipe out these Jiading Ming people in one fell swoop." Ruan Youjing said bitterly.
"Father. Ruan Fuqin hurriedly went up to help Ruan Fuwei.
"Ruan Youjing, let me ask you, if Guangnan sends troops to Jiading, how many troops will you need to expel the Jiading Ming army." Ruan Fuwei looked at Ruan Youjing and asked.
"This." Ruan Youjing was stunned.
"Didn't Huang Jin raise the banner of righteousness in Jiading to resist the Ming army?" Ruan Phuc shouted.
Frightened, Ruan Youjing hurriedly knelt down.
"The Ming army has sharp firearms, and dozens of Ming troops can defeat hundreds of horses in our army, and now Jiading not only has the Ming army but also the Ming army and the Ming army, if our army really sends troops to Jiading, in case the Ming army sailors go north." Ruan Youjing's words became quieter and quieter.
It's not that he was cowardly and cowardly, but because he really led his troops into Jiading and had a battle with the Ming army, who would have thought that the Ming army's firearms were so sharp that they would defeat the Zhenla coalition army, but Ruan Youjing was not afraid of the Ming army, but began to understand the Ming army.
began to investigate the armament of the Ming army from the Chinese merchants of Hoi An and the English merchants, but this investigation made Ruan Youjing a big startle.
The firearms of the Ming army, the naval warships were not weaker than the English in Nanyang, if Guangnan really went to war with the Ming court, Guangnan would be defeated.
"Ugh." Looking at Ruan Youjing's appearance, Ruan Fuwei could only close his eyes.
