The lively banquet dispersed, and the representatives and envoys of various countries, under the arrangement of the Sultanate, returned to their rooms to rest satisfied.

Some people go back to enjoy falling asleep, while others don't have time to enjoy it.

And these people are the top leaders of the Sultanate of Bangladesh.

Before the banquet began, the old king informed some people that after the banquet, don't rush back, there are some things to discuss with them.

At first, these people thought that they were sending someone to follow the Ming fleet and go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

But when the meeting began, and the old king said what the meeting was about, these people were dumbfounded.

"What, you're going to give our land to Daming!"

The son of the old king, who is also the father of Zhu Gaoyu's twin maids, looked at his father in dismay.

In addition to the shock, there is also a beam of light like looking at a traitor, looking at his own Lao Tzu.

The old king glared at his son and slammed on the table.

"It's not a gift, it's a lease, the land is still ours, they just borrow it for a while."

The old king's son breathed a sigh of relief, just now he Lao Tzu told the content of the meeting, and he thought that he was sending Sadi Port directly to Daming.

"Father, how long are they going to be on lease."

The old king looked at a few important ministers, and said with a little emptiness: "99 years! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone secretly rolled their eyes.

Good guys, 99 years, what's the difference between this and giving it to them?

After 99 years, if the strength of the Sultanate of Bangladesh is still not as strong as that of the Ming Dynasty, it is not certain who Sadi Port will belong to at that time.

"I don't agree with that!"

The son of the old king was the first to stand up against it.

The Sultanate of Bengal will be his property in the future, and the port of Sadi is an important trading port of the Sultanate and the money bag of the royal family, and he will never hand over the money bag to others to manage.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this matter is inappropriate."

As the prince's father-in-law, the Minister of State also objected.

Several other important ministers also expressed their opposition.

Looking at the opposing crowd, the old king sighed.

"The Timurid Empire is divided, you should know."

The crowd was a little confused, weren't they talking about lend-lease? Why is the Timurid Empire mentioned again?

Looking at the unknown crowd, the old king said slowly: "Since the death of Timur, its country has been divided into two parts, namely Mikaesha and Shaharu. ”

"Now after the two of them have gone through a battle, the territory has been completely stabilized, and they have begun to slowly expand outward."

"What is the situation in our west, I think you also know that it is impossible to resist the Timurid Empire with their strength."

"I can tell you here that in less than five years, a new war will come again."

"And at that time, we will have no ability to resist with low strength, lack of soldiers, and backward equipment."

Everyone present fell silent all of a sudden.

Weakness is the original sin.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old king sighed, and continued: "The Ming side has promised that as long as we lease the port of Sadi, they will provide us with 200 artillery pieces in three batches within three years as a national defense. ”

"And will also send excellent officers of the Ming Dynasty to help us train soldiers."

"In addition, five thousand weapons, one thousand sets of leather armor, and two hundred sets of iron armor will be sold to us at cost price every year."

"And promised that when the war is tense, we can pay for it, in the form of hiring, hire the army and even the warships of the Ming Dynasty to help us fight and resist the invasion of other countries."

After listening to the conditions given by Daming, the prince's heart moved slightly.

If Daming can really do all this as promised, this Lend-Lease bill is not negotiable.

Noticing that there was something strange in the crowd, the old king lamented again.

If it were possible, he really didn't want to do this kind of thing that went against his ancestors and the people?

However, the other party gave too much, so he had to be moved.

"In addition to the transactions in these cases, we will also get benefits on the surface."

"For example, every year in the Ming Dynasty, we will give us 1,000 taels of silver as a lease fee, and our people's merchants do not need to add more business taxes to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Ming side will also promise that our Sultanate can send ten students every year to study in the Ming Dynasty to learn the profound culture and knowledge of the Ming Dynasty."

"Also, the Ming side will also announce to the outside world that China will be listed as an important vassal state."

"In this way, other countries want to invade us, so they have to consider the idea of Daming."

"After all, the powerful fleet of the Ming Dynasty is swaying on the sea every day, as long as they are not as blind as Ceylon, they can see it."

"In this way, invisibly, it has added another layer of barrier to our Bangladesh Sultanate."

"In the future, as long as we do not take the lead in provoking and have the protection of the Ming Dynasty, we will have plenty of time to develop our country. Coupled with the knowledge learned from the Ming Dynasty, as well as the information and economy brought by business, our Sultanate of Bangladesh will take off in sight. ”

"Even if we can't surpass the Ming Dynasty, we will be the most powerful in the entire Fangyuan country."

"Even with the help of the Ming Dynasty, we may be able to take the entire Asan region and become the first country in history to rule the Asan region."

Good fellow, the old king's heart was excited.

Ruling over the entire Asan region, this Nima is too tempting.

He now has the impulsive idea of immediately rushing to Zhu Gaoyu's resting room, waking him up and pulling him out of the arms of the beauty, and signing the lease contract immediately.

After a night of discussion, the old king finally persuaded the top brass of the Sultanate to decide to lease the port of Sadi to the Ming in exchange for greater benefits.

However, in terms of the treaty, they proposed some changes.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoyu thought about it for a while, exchanged views with the old king, and then made a new Lend-Lease treaty.

The treaty is as follows:

First, the Ming Dynasty leased the Sultanate of Bangladesh at a price of 1,000 taels per year for 99 years, and after the time expired, the Ming Dynasty had the right of first refusal.

Second, the Sultanate of Bangladesh paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and was willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Third, every year, the Sultanate of Bangladesh can learn the governing principles of Confucian culture from the Ming Dynasty to ten students from the Ming School, but the tuition fees need to be paid by themselves.

Fourth, during the lease period, the Ming Dynasty had absolute management rights in Sadi Port, and the Sultanate of Bengal was not allowed to send soldiers and officials into it for no reason, and everything that happened was based on the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Fifth, in order to help the Sultanate resist foreign enemies and increase its national defense, the Ming Dynasty will provide 250 artillery pieces to the Sultanate of Bangladesh in three batches within three years, and send soldiers to teach them how to use them, and pay for gunpowder and shells.

………………

There are more than 20 rules and regulations.

Some of these hidden pitfalls, the people of the Sultanate of Bangladesh did not fail to see, but they could not refuse, the benefits that the Lend-Lease clause brought to them.

So for those little traps, they can only pretend not to see them.

"Smack!"

With the old king putting his seal on the treaty and signing his name, this lease clause was already half completed.

Next, as long as Zhu Gaoyu brings the treaty back and asks the old man to stamp it, then the treaty will be officially formed.

However, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't wait that long, and at the moment the treaty was signed, he arranged for the soldiers to be stationed directly in Sadi Port, and brought it under the management of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Shengtianming: In the 8th year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty obtained the first concession and officially took the first step in overseas expansion.

Although this is only a small step taken by Daming, it is a big step for the whole world to unify the world.
