Chapter 479: Dissatisfied? Then hit!
The mission stayed at the Old Port, and the expeditionary fleet stationed in Malacca arrived three days later to join us.
The Eastern Qin fleet stationed in the old port amounted to a staggering twenty-four ships, and the army also exceeded two thousand people.
This is a force that is enough to sweep across the South Seas, and it is a big stick in the hands of Dong Qin!
The entire military and civilians of the old port were shocked by this fleet, most of them had never seen Zheng He's fleet, but the fleet of Eastern Qin at this moment left a very deep impression on them.
Especially this fleet, it still ran to protect them, which made this fleet strong and became a kind of aura.
Lan Xiaofeng also asked Shi Xinghao to send an envoy to the Manjapahit Boyi Kingdom on the day of the fleet convergence, asking them to send an envoy to accept the questioning of Eastern Qin.
If there is no reply within six days, the Eastern Qin fleet will surely strike a thunderous blow and destroy the entire Majapahit Kingdom!
Speaking of which, the Majapahit Kingdom is actually quite miserable, if the country is conquered and counted as a dead country, the Majapahit Kingdom has already been declared extinct in 1500.
At its peak, the Majapahit territory included the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, and Bali.
However, after the death of the first generation of male lord Haya Uruk, the rapid decline of the Majapahit, and the same Malay Peninsula as the Sultanate of Majapahit, which was originally the territory of the Majapahit, quickly became independent and rose, and won successive battles, directly breaking the Majapahit apart.
In 1500, the kingdom of Majapahit was conquered, and after that, he moved to the side of the old port, and only by bullying the old port did he seek a temporary success.
It can only be said that the power of faith is terrifying, and the Sultanate of Tanmu can suddenly rise in the land of projectiles, relying on the X Sect.
Its new occupation of a piece of land is to promote the X religion of a place, and the XXX of this place in later generations has contributed to the Sultanate.
In another time and space, Majapahit was completely destroyed by the Sultanate of Majapahit in 1527, and since then it has hardened several colonists.
So the existence of Majapahit is very important, and it is a country that believes in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Java Primaticism.
Although it was easy to destroy it, after thinking about it, Yan Zheng directly regarded Majapahit as the best thorn, which was directly pierced into the hearts of the Sultanate of Yumu and the Sultanate of Sulu, and also made other green places in Nanyang understand that the X Sect is not invincible in the world.
This is crucial to the "peace and stability" of Nanyang, and Dongqin also needs a Nanyang full of contradictions to achieve the strategy of "uniting X leveling green".
……
Four days later, the envoys of the Majapahit kingdom hurried to the old port.
The existence of Eastern Qin in Nanyang has long been no secret, and these small countries in Nanyang are even more aware of the strength of Eastern Qin.
When the king of Majapahit received the letter of inquiry, he sent Prime Minister Gacha Mada over without even thinking about it, not to mention that Eastern Qin wanted to attack Majapahit, even if Eastern Qin made a trade blockade, it could make Majapahit collapse in an instant.
They already knew about the trade declaration, and they got the news early on when Dongqin controlled Malacca.
Ships from the east and west of the strait are not allowed to cross the border at will, which is like a rope around the neck of Majapahit.
Now that they have been defeated by the Sultanate, if they come to the Eastern Qin again, then the king will have nowhere to run.
After Marda got off the ship, he came to the old port city tremblingly, and Lin Yucheng, who was in charge of reception, walked in front with his head held high, deliberately not arranging the frame.
The Majapahit Mission, in the angry eyes of the soldiers and civilians of the Old Port, lowered their heads and walked towards the Yamen of the Propaganda Department of the Old Port.
When they came to the gate, they were under the guns and swords of the Huaxia Army, and they were so frightened that they were searched and put in after their identities were verified.
"Lower courtiers, knock to see the angels of the upper kingdom!" Walking through the forest of guns, fine sweat was already oozing from Mada's forehead, and as soon as he saw the Eastern Qin Mission, he couldn't help but kneel.
"Get up! Throne! Shang Xiaochun smiled and made a gesture of please.
Lan Xiaofeng took the opportunity to ask, "Call us the kingdom?" Your Majapahit and the Ming Kingdom are a few years of tribute? ”
"Back to the Angel, Three...... Three years of tribute, my lord has always paid tribute, and he has never been rude! As soon as Mada stood up, she didn't dare to sit down, so she was so embarrassed.
"Do you know him, then?" Lan Xiaofeng pointed at Shi Xinghao and asked.
"No...... I don't know, don't you know...... This is Lord Shi Xinghao from the Old Port? ”
Lan Xiaofeng slapped it on the table: "Since you know, you should know that the old port is the territory of the Ming Kingdom, how dare you occupy it privately?" Don't you think that the Ming Kingdom doesn't dare to come to seek justice, and neither do I, Dongqin! ”
"Non-...... Definitely! Ma Da snapped and knelt down again, and said with a bitter face: "My lord doesn't know, I didn't know Dongqin before, if I knew, there would definitely be no such mustard, and in the past few years, we have not encroached on an inch of land in the old port!" ”
"That's because the soldiers and civilians of my old port resisted hard!" Shi Xinghao roared and stood up: "If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I would have been wiped out by you!" ”
"This ...... This is the private behavior of the generals below, and my lord has already ordered ......"
"That's it!" Lan Xiaofeng waved his hand and interrupted: "Those who don't know are not guilty, I, Dongqin and Daming, have a clause of mutual recognition between the clans and vassals." The clan of the Ming Kingdom is the clan of my Eastern Qin, since you have this filthyness, it is very easy to do, the Majapahit returned the occupied territory of the old port, and I Eastern Qin is not to blame! After that, the boundaries are surveyed to ensure that they do not interfere with each other. ”
The sweat on Mada's forehead increased, and he arched his hand and said, "Angel Rongyu, this ...... In recent years, most of the land of the Majapahit Kingdom has been occupied by the Sultanate of the Shomu, if it is ...... If it is returned, what will my lord do with himself? ”
"It's very simple, I, Dongqin, can let you return it, so naturally I won't leave you alone! With the strength of my Eastern Qin, just give me some weapons and build a city, which is enough for you to protect yourself! And how much land does the Sultanate occupy of you, and we in Eastern Qin can also help get some of it back! The order of the South Seas, we in Dongqin are very concerned! Lan Xiaofeng said with a smile.
Mada is not easy to answer, give up the land, get a promise of favor, this is too risky, if after giving up the land, Dongqin regrets it, what should they do?
Shang Xiaochun looked at Ma Da with a smile and said, "Could it be Your Excellency, do you still have doubts about our determination to maintain order in the South Seas?" Since this is the case, there is no need to talk about it, how much land you occupy, my army will take it back little by little, and when we get it back, we are talking, how about it? ”
Mada wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Please forgive the angel, this matter is serious, I dare not ...... Don't dare to promise easily! ”
Lan Xiaofeng continued: "Since the declaration of free trade was issued, what I need in Dongqin is a new order in the South Seas, a new trade system, this is our goal!" We in the Eastern Qin Dynasty have always valued treaties and emphasized honesty and integrity, and if we do not keep our word, will we not destroy this new order? You have no choice but to do so, and if you have other ideas, you can say them, as long as it is reasonable, we are not unkind! ”
"If we are still stubborn, then we can only take the army to talk to the lord of your country in person!" Shang Xiaochun smiled kindly.
Mada wiped his sweat again, hesitated for a while, and said: "Can you please go to the country, first help to ask the Sultanate of Tanmu for our lost land, as long as we can get back some of it, our country will immediately cede the territory of the old port!" ”
Lan Xiaofeng thought for a while, exchanged words with a few people next to him, nodded and said, "We can accept this proposal, but there is another one!" You have repeatedly waged wars against the old port, causing huge damage to the military and civilians of the old port, and according to the new order we have formulated, you must pay war reparations! Compensate the old port with five million taels of silver, and the land will not have to be ceded! ”
"Five million taels?" Mada was shocked: "Even if I squeeze out my Majapahit Kingdom, I can't get all this silver!" Please also ask the angels to be forgiving. ”
"Five million taels and one points can't be less! It can be paid off in twenty years, and your customs duties will be used as collateral! Lan Xiaofeng said with a serious face.
"Angel! This is too much, since our country lost a large area of land, the financial situation is not sufficient, these five million taels, I am afraid that my subjects will starve to death! ”
"The First Evolution"
Shang Xiaochun smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as the new order is established and the new trade system is formed, you Majapahit will not be too poor, and the minerals, forests, and even the population of your land can also be used to pay off debts." Five million taels, in exchange for a situation where you will not be bullied by the Sultanate and enjoy the benefits of the order of the Eastern Qin, is it very cost-effective? Your lord wants to sit back and relax, right? ”
Mada was silent, if he could get this situation, then five million taels was really not a loss! But isn't this a deal for protection fees?
"Angel! The matter ...... It can be discussed, but the subordinates can't be the masters, if they can first return the occupied territories, our lord will gladly agree! ”
Lan Xiaofeng nodded and said, "It's easy to do, that is, please go back, let the port be ready for reception, and when my fleet arrives, your country will send an embassy to go to the Sultanate of Lanmu with us!" I promise to give you an explanation. ”
"In this way, the subordinate has thanked the angel for his great kindness!"
