The next morning, the formal negotiation between the two parties began. Zhang Yanling made it clear at the outset that he proposed his idea, which was to establish friendly commercial relations with the Garo Kingdom and ask the Garo Kingdom to recognize the Ming Dynasty's ownership of Guri Port and Goa Port.
Inherited most of the power of the Folangji Kingdom in the Jialuo Kingdom.
In addition, it requested the Jialuo Kingdom to open up the right to buy and sell land and allow merchants from the Ming Dynasty to come here to purchase land and real estate, and establish manors and plantations.
Furthermore, Zhang Yanling made it clear that all actions of Ming people, merchants and officials in the Jialuo Kingdom would be under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General's Office and the Shipping Department established by the Ming Dynasty in the Jialuo Kingdom. Any crimes committed would be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
The safety of all Ming Dynasty's properties and lives in the Jialuo Kingdom must be protected and respected. Ming Dynasty will station troops here and will dispatch troops when necessary to protect the interests of its expatriates.
In return, all trade and development activities of the Ming Dynasty will pay taxes to the Garo Kingdom. According to the agreed tax amount, the tax of the Garo Kingdom will be paid. In addition, the Ming Dynasty promised that except for reasons involving Ming people and affairs, the Ming Dynasty will not interfere with the Garo Kingdom.
Luo's internal affairs. Unless invited, Ming Dynasty will not interfere in Jia Luo's internal affairs, foreign affairs, military affairs, etc. by force or other forms.
The content discussed here is very different from the terms drawn up by Zhang Yanling in the Nanyang countries. For the Nanyang countries, the country was small and weak, and the Ming Dynasty was obviously more grateful in shouldering its obligations. They were vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
The country of allegiance and the leader of the country must be appointed and approved by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty will even bear certain responsibilities for their national security, domestic security, and people's livelihood and welfare.
However, the Jialuo Kingdom is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Its national power is also much stronger than that of the Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, it naturally does not have too many obligations and responsibilities in terms of negotiation.
However, Zhang Yanling was not soft-hearted at all when it came to his demands. Although he stated that he would not interfere with his military and political affairs, he actually went too far when it came to the interests of the Ming expatriates.
For example, Zhang Yanling demanded that all matters involving the Ming expatriates be under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace and the Municipal Shipping Department. This sounds reasonable. But if you think about it carefully, if it is an interest dispute or murder between the Ming expatriates and the local Jia Luo people,
Or were they killed? Because the affairs involving the Ming expatriates would fall within the scope of the Ming Dynasty’s powers and responsibilities according to this article.
That also means that the Ming Dynasty's power agencies such as the Governor's Mansion and the Municipal Shipping Department here can arrest and deal with the people and even officials of the Jialuo Kingdom. If necessary, they can even send out troops to force things. In this way, the so-called non-interference in the other party's military affairs
affairs, the promise not to use force to intervene in the affairs of the Garo Kingdom became an empty promise.
For another example, Zhang Yanling asked the Ming Dynasty to inherit the privileges of the Franco Kingdom in terms of business and trade rights, which meant exclusive trade and monopoly privileges. In other words, all sea trade goods must be handled by the Shipping Department of the Ming Dynasty.
The Garo Kingdom has no right to conduct overseas trade on its own.
There is also the most excessive right to buy and sell land. Even the Flemish people here did not make such excessive demands. Land is a symbol of a country's sovereignty and the most important property and means of production. Expatriates of the Ming Dynasty are allowed to purchase land.
, which is actually invading its own country, which no sovereign country can allow.
As for giving money and paying taxes, compared with sovereignty and land, it is just a sugar date. It is just a comfort bean for the other party after being beaten.
In fact, Zhang Yanling's inner thought is that since it is a negotiation, why not sit down and raise the price by yourself. Because the other party will definitely pay back the money on the spot, the two parties will argue and even brag and stare, and finally reach a balance point.
Zhang Yanling did not expect that the other party would agree to these conditions unconditionally.
Zhang Yanling had expected that the other party would definitely put forward various objections and some of their own conditions.
For example, Zhang Yanling believes that the Jialuo Kingdom will definitely refuse the land sale. Eventually, he will propose a limited-term land use right. For example, eighty years and one hundred years, which is equivalent to leasing. Let the land be used.
The ownership of the property is returned to the Jialuo Kingdom. This has also achieved Zhang Yanling's goal. The other party will not be completely unacceptable.
In addition, in terms of trade, the other party may offer to purchase some materials that they need but are prohibited from sale by the Ming Dynasty. For example, such forbidden materials as guns, artillery, warships, weapons and armor. Compared with the monopoly of trade, if it can be exchanged for
If these arms and supplies can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Garo Kingdom's army in a short period of time, then the Garo Kingdom will definitely be willing to hand over its exclusive rights to trade monopoly.
Zhang Yanling has also thought about it, and he will agree to sell him some castrated versions of arms, weapons and warships. In fact, the arms trade is a way to make a fortune that Zhang Yanling has long thought about. Not only does he want to sell to the Jia Luo people, but also
Give it to the hostile countries of the Kala Kingdom in the north of the Indian mainland. Eat at both ends and gain from both ends, just let them fight and consume it.
It is said that the Wild Dog Ridge arsenal has never seen any money back since its establishment. If the money is invested like water, there will naturally be returns. By manufacturing large quantities of arms and selling them to overseas countries, Wild Dog Ridge will become its trump card for making money.
Industry. As long as the quality of the arms is lower than that for personal use, it will not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty. It is best if they fight every day and consume it every day, then the money will roll in.
No one can do this business except yourself.
For another example, when it comes to the settlement of disputes involving the interests and interests of Ming expatriates, Zhang Yanling believes that King Jialuo will definitely propose a compromise plan. That is, for disputes involving the personnel and interests of both parties, a trial agency with the participation of personnel from both sides will be established.
Jointly hear cases, resolve disputes, and coordinate settlements. This can avoid the possibility of the Ming Dynasty infringing on the administrative and judicial power of the Garo Kingdom and interfering in its internal affairs.
Zhang Yanling actually recognizes this. Under the current circumstances, Zhang Yanling will not forcefully demand that everything be done in one step. Originally, Zhang Yanling did not want to become the master of this continent. She is not strong enough, and the time is far from coming. Stand firm.
Heel, when everything is running, the deeper the power penetrates, the easier things will be done later.
However, Zhang Yanling miscalculated. He was ready to bargain step by step and debate with the opponent eloquently. However, King Krishna of Kala had no objection to the many conditions and excessive demands put forward by Zhang Yanling.
objection.
There were no quarrels, no anger, no quarrels, no flipping tables to intimidate each other. Everything was too peaceful.
It was like a huge stone being thrown into the water. It was supposed to cause huge splashes and waves. Instead, it sank to the bottom of the water with a gurgling sound, without any splashes or ripples.
It seemed that he punched with all his strength, but the opponent's body was like air, and the punch was empty, and he almost dodged his waist.
"I completely agree with the conditions proposed by Zhang Guogong. I think let's do it this way. Let's draw up a treaty and finalize the details, and then we will sign it and take effect. From now on, we will just follow this treaty." Krishna
smiled.
Zhang Yanling was stunned and asked: "Does His Majesty the King have no other ideas about the contents of these treaties? Don't you have any requirements for this?"
Krishna waved his hand and said: "Not at all. There is nothing particularly unacceptable about these terms. I think this must have been proposed carefully after your careful consideration. The people of the Ming Dynasty are indeed reasonable. You are better than Fo Lang.
The robots should be more reasonable. Those bandits are so excessive that they even want to influence the military and political affairs of my kingdom.
I am very satisfied that there is no such content in your treaty. As for the others, they are all trivial matters. I believe that the content in the treaty is for our benefit.
It’s friendly and mutually beneficial to both parties. So, let’s do it like this, there’s no need to discuss it anymore, it’s settled.”
Zhang Yanling was speechless.
Krishna smiled and said: "Leave the details to the people below. I think it can be completed within two days. I am most afraid of these trivial matters in my life, and I think the Lord is not willing to indulge in these trivial matters.
中. Let them take care of things, let's go sightseeing and play
Go hunting. The Duke probably doesn’t know that there are many wild beasts in the Eastern Ghats of the Kala Kingdom, including tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and elephants. A man like the Duke must like hunting. I will accompany the Duke on the hunt, and at the same time
It also enhances the friendship between you and me. What do you think, Lord?"
Zhang Yanling looked at Krishna silently and saw the sincerity on his face. Zhang Yanling could not refuse.
"Okay. His Majesty the King is indeed a man who does great things. He is wise and decisive. Since His Majesty the King has made an appointment, how can I not appreciate it? Then I will go hunting in the mountains and come back to sign the contract." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Krishna sighed slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, that's settled. We'll set off in the afternoon."
