Chapter 568: Concession

Although the compensation varies in the countries of Southeast Asia, the list was taken down, but the resentment of the countries was suppressed. The strength of the Song Dynasty was there. According to the law of the jungle, if others bully you, you will bully you. What else can you do? Now that I apologize so sincerely and offer generous compensation, everyone was relieved and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to be polite. The Song Dynasty is both a country of heaven and a country of etiquette. Being kind to neighbors is a national policy. Now there are mistakes first, so you must not neglect you."

At this time, the envoys only had generous and generous comments on Chen Ao. Everyone smiled happily, Chen Ao ordered someone to change tea, and then they naturally had a few casual conversations.

Li Heng hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Your Majesty, the country is pleased to accept the kindness of the Song Dynasty. It is also a great possibility to restrict the fleet. The Song Dynasty's fleet went to sea at one time, and there are many disturbances wherever it passes. Such a big thing has happened now, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not repeat the same mistakes in the future."

Li Heng is not a fool either. This time, the Song Dynasty proposed compensation, and the compensation was extremely generous, but this was just a solution. Those merchant ships were so arrogant that they just plundered and slaughtered the port. Next time, God knows what else would happen. Li Heng has heard of Quanzhou in the past few days, saying that the Song Dynasty's sea trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and the dock is on the rushing day and night, and the buyers are like crucian carp crossing the river. At this time next year, if the fleet goes to sea again, the scale of the fleet will be 100,000 people. If such brave and fierce people are released, it will be enough to destroy the country in Nanyang. Now, no matter what, when the king is broken by these bastards, where will he go to make an accusation?

Now this is the best way to speak for the sea entourage, but the official lantern of the Song Dynasty changed like a lantern. When it comes to the next term, who knows what it will look like. I have to ask the Prince of Penglai to propose a way to cure the root cause just in case it is the right thing to do.

With Li Heng starting, the envoys present were not all full of wine bags, and they also said: "Yes, the caravan is so large that the Xiaguo can not afford to eat, and even if all the troops are not enough to defend, once a conflict arises, where can the Xiaguo resist?"

Chen Ao said embarrassedly: "Everyone also knows that I am ordered to go to sea with the new policy of sea routes and caravans go out together to sea, which is my political achievement. If it is abandoned, it will be difficult for me to deal with it."

Everyone can understand this, just like the envoys here. If the Song Dynasty cannot ask for some compensation, it will not be able to explain it to the country. Brother Chen is generous enough, and he cannot make things difficult for him.

Chen Ao continued: "But there is a way..."

Li Heng said: "Your Majesty, it's okay."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Since you can't restrain the maritime businessmen, let the Song Dynasty restrain them."

Everyone looked at each other, how did Da Song care?

Chen Ao saw everyone confused and continued, "Actually, this is simple. The customs and habits of the Song Dynasty and other countries are different, and friction is inevitable. It is better to do this. If you want to trade, you might as well set a piece of land, and our Song Dynasty will be under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, set up officials, establish a governor's yamen, and then the navy will draw a group of people to inspect the pier. If the merchants and sailors of the Song Dynasty violate the law, they will be directly handled by the Governor's yamen, and there is no need to bother you. If someone is planning to do something wrong, the Governor's yamen will also be dispatched to suppress the troops. If their strength is not enough, the Sung Song Dynasty naval commander will hear the news and try his best to help..."

This is the concession, but Chen Ao used not to obtain force, but to use soft and soft methods to obtain it. In fact, there are also elements of force. The threat from various countries is the merchants of the Song Dynasty. At this time, the Song Dynasty court stood up and became a good person, mediated, and proposed a solution once and for all. Although this method was to let all countries cut out a piece of port, at this time, not to mention the countries in the South China Sea, even the Song Dynasty did not pay enough attention to the country. The threat to the countries in the South China Sea was too great. Today, people dared to loot the port directly, and whether they would go ashore to destroy the country tomorrow was unpredictable.

On the other hand, the alertness of the Song Dynasty was not strong. The shadow of the famous people, the Song Dynasty had been in great strength for so many years, and it was certain that the national strength was strong, and I didn’t see anyone bullying. On the contrary, even if you pay tribute and submit, the Song Dynasty would have to give generous rewards, and never suffer losses. Besides, they are the central country and they don’t have much interest in your wild land. Now that this method is proposed, it is equivalent to letting everyone make a choice, whether to choose a maritime merchant or a military force in the Song Dynasty. After hesitation, everyone felt that the Song Dynasty court was more reliable, at least they were reasonable, and when they met those unreasonable maritime merchants, it would be a shame.

Li Heng had already made a decision: "This law is good. It is easier to use the Song army to govern the Song Shang Dynasty to deal with the governor sent by the Song court directly in the lower country."

Yue Kingdom is relatively big in Nanyang and has been dealing with the Song Dynasty for the longest time. He knows that the Song Dynasty has always claimed to be a country of etiquette, never aggressive, and has no worries, and is not afraid that the Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to annex or bully it on excuses. Therefore, his reaction is also the fastest, unlike other envoys who still have doubts.

The Japanese envoys responded at this time, and then there were many envoys, and the rest were still hesitating. However, at this time, if you don’t nod, you will be protected by the Song Dynasty court. You don’t have it. The maritime merchants are not taking advantage of your loopholes, so just steal one of you?

This bird of predecessor must not be able to do it. Seeing that there were many responses here, a few envoys who were still hesitating had to nod.

What we need to discuss next is the detailed matter. Chen Ao proposed that the port jurisdiction of a large country with 800 miles and a small country with 500 miles. Such a piece of land is not small, but it is smaller than Quanzhou Prefecture, but it is sufficient to use it. The judicial power in the port is naturally handed over to the Song Dynasty. In fact, countries do not want to send people to judge maritime merchants. Isn’t this offense? As for other things, such as the Song Dynasty merchant ships can only dock at this port, it is easy to say.

This matter was surprisingly smooth, but when it comes to garrison troops, the opinions of various countries were not unified. There is no doubt about garrison troops. If there is no garrison, how can the Song Dynasty suppress illegal maritime merchants? The biggest problem is how many garrison troops are. If there are too many, it cannot be accepted there. If there are too few. The Song Dynasty has no deterrent to maritime merchants. In the end, it is decided to use one thousand big countries and eight hundred small countries.

In Shen Ao's opinion, it is not a big problem for a thousand people to manage a port. Even if something happens, the Nanyang Navy can respond immediately. In addition, the port also needs to recruit soap officials and clerks, so the staff will definitely not be a problem.

What needs to be discussed later is the top priority. Most of the countries in Southeast Asia are backed by the sea and have extremely long coastlines, but there are not many deep-water ports, and there are very few bays with good geographical locations. Which piece of land should be cut in the Song Dynasty? A good port is the flesh of everyone. How can you give up if you say you want to give up?

Speaking of this critical moment, Chen Ao was not anxious at all. Instead, he smiled and held the teacup and said slowly: "I have another idea. In order to maintain the stability of the countries and long-term stability, on the one hand, it will prevent the sea trade in the Song Dynasty from making mistakes. The Song Dynasty's governor's offices stationed in various countries naturally have to work together with the countries. The Song Dynasty has sent garrisons to suppress illegal maritime merchants. However, if civil rebellion occurs in various countries or invades from foreign enemies, the Governor's office can send troops to help. If the Governor's office is not enough, as long as the king's courts ask for help, the Nanyang Navy will also rush to help at night."

When the words were spoken, the envoy was immediately overjoyed. There were many tribes in the South China Sea and the royal families of various countries were not stable. If one is not good, there would be danger of a gutter capsized. In many places, there were constant rebellions, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was in danger. Although the Song army was not as good as the Jin army, it was also elite in the South China Sea. If the Governor's Office could not suppress the enemy, it would use the Song Dynasty Navy. It is said that a single Nanyang Navy would recruit 50,000 or 60,000 people in the future. This army was also a well-equipped elite soldier in the South China Sea. It was easy to suppress the rebellion of foreign countries.

With this guarantee, the royal families of various countries are equally stable. With this strong support, who dares to rebel?

The envoys only thought for a moment and immediately understood Chen Ao's meaning. Those who were envoys returned to the country to report their lives happily. Although they had received financial compensation, they wanted to cede land and garrison. Whether the royal families of various countries could nod their heads was the same. However, with Chen Ao's words, it was equivalent to a gold medal for exempting death. It was the foundation of the royal family that guaranteed the royal family in the South China Sea. What else could the royal family say? It was too late to be happy and encouraged.

Chen Ao proposed a bait and then talked about ceding land. He had a little impression of most famous ports in later generations. After taking the map of Nanyang, he could roughly find the best ports of various countries. Although the countries were reluctant to part with this, they thought of Chen Ao's promise just now, but they didn't say anything. Although they said they had to consider it first, they generally agreed with it.

This negotiation was basically held in a friendly atmosphere. The reason why it went smoothly was that the Celestial Kingdom had a good reputation and had never had a record of bullying the weak. Although the countries in the South China Sea had suspicions, most of them still believed in the reputation of the Song Dynasty. They were not afraid that the Song State would take the opportunity to annex the various countries. If someone else was willing to talk to you about this, they would be fools. Nowadays, people are separated from their hearts, so who would believe whom?

More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Ao was not in a hurry to make it happen. He always had to give people room for negotiation. He was confident that the other party would definitely take over the olive branch he had thrown, and he always had to twist and be a little reserved to decide. So he smiled and said, "Okay, after saying so much, he was dry. I have prepared some wine here. I will give you a seat and I will not return until I get drunk!"
