Chapter 984 Incredible Negotiation

The next morning, the formal negotiations between the two sides began. Zhang Yanling made his own idea without any concealment, which was to establish friendly trade relations with the Kingdom of Garau, and demanded that the Kingdom of Garau recognize the Ming Dynasty's ownership of Guli Port and Goa Port, and inherit most of the power of the Kingdom of Polangji in the Kingdom of Garau.

In addition, the Kingdom of Gala was requested to open up the right to buy and sell land, and allow the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to come here to purchase land and real estate, build manors and plantations.

Zhang Yanling also clearly stated that all actions of the people of the Ming Dynasty and merchants in the Kingdom of Garau will be governed by the Governor's Office and the Maritime Bureau established by the Ming Dynasty in the Kingdom of Garau. If you commit crimes, you will be dealt with by the Ming Dynasty's laws.

The security of all the wealth and life of the Ming Dynasty in the Kingdom of Kara will be protected and respected. The Ming Dynasty will garrison troops here and will dispatch troops to protect the interests of its own expatriates if necessary.

In return, all trade and development activities of the Ming Dynasty will pay taxes to the Kingdom of Garau. The taxes of the Kingdom of Garau will be paid according to the agreed tax amount. The Ming Dynasty promised that except for reasons involving the Ming Dynasty personnel and affairs, the Ming Dynasty will not interfere in the internal affairs of Garau. Unless it is invited, the Ming Dynasty will not interfere in the internal affairs of Garau or military affairs of Garau by force or other forms, etc.

The content mentioned here is very different from the terms formulated by Zhang Yanling in the South China countries. For the countries in the South China, the country is small and the strength is weak, and the Ming Dynasty obviously thanks more for its obligations. They are vassals of the Ming Dynasty and all the lords in the country must be appointed and permitted by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty even bears certain responsibilities for their national security, even domestic security, people's livelihood and welfare.

However, the Kingdom of Gala was not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Its national strength was much stronger than that of the countries in the South China Sea. Therefore, there were naturally not many obligations and responsibilities in terms of negotiations.

However, Zhang Yanling was not soft-hearted at all in his request. Although he showed that he would not interfere with his military and political affairs, it was actually even more excessive in terms of involving the Ming Dynasty's expatriates and interests.

For example, Zhang Yanling required all matters involving the Ming Dynasty to be under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office and the Maritime Bureau. This sounds reasonable. But if it is a dispute of interest between the Ming Dynasty and the local Gala people, whether it is a murder or a murder? Because the affairs of the Ming Dynasty's overseas Chinese will be subject to this article, according to this article, it will be within the scope of the rights and responsibilities of the Ming Dynasty's disposal.

That also means that the Governor's Office and the Maritime Department of the Ming Dynasty can arrest and deal with the people and even officials of the Gala Kingdom. If necessary, the so-called promise of not interfering in the military and political affairs of the other party and not sending troops to interfere with the affairs of the Gala Kingdom by force has become empty talk.

For example, Zhang Yanling asked the Ming Dynasty to inherit the privileges of the country of Folangji in terms of business and trade rights, which means the privilege of trade monopoly and monopoly. In other words, all maritime trade goods must be handled by the Ming Maritime Bureau, and the country of Gala has no right to carry out overseas trade on its own.

There is also the most excessive right to buy and sell land. Even the Folangji people did not make such excessive demands here. Land is a symbol of a country's sovereignty and the most important means of production. Allowing the Ming Dynasty expatriates to purchase land is actually an invasion of its capital, which cannot be allowed by any sovereign country.

As for paying taxes, compared with sovereignty, it is just a sugar date compared with land. It only makes the other party feel comforted after being beaten.

In fact, Zhang Yanling's inner thought was that since it was a negotiation, why not raise the price by himself? Because the other party would definitely pay back the money on the spot, the two parties would argue and even swear, and finally reach a balance point.

Zhang Yanling didn't expect that the other party would agree unconditionally to these conditions.

As Zhang Yanling expected before, the other party would definitely put forward various objections and some of their own conditions.

For example, Zhang Yanling believed that the country of Gala must have refused the matter of land purchase and sale. In the end, he would propose a limited land use right. For example, eighty years and one hundred years are equivalent to lease and use. Let the ownership of the land be owned by Gala Kingdom. This also achieved Zhang Yanling's goal. The other party would not be completely unacceptable.

In addition, in trade, the other party may propose to buy some materials they need, but the Ming Dynasty prohibits selling them, such as bird guns, cannons, warships, weapons and armor. Compared with the monopoly of trade, if the arms supplies that can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Gala Kingdom's army in a short period of time can be exchanged for these weapons, the Gala Kingdom will definitely be willing to hand over the right to monopoly of trade.

Zhang Yanling also thought about it and would agree to sell him some castrated versions of arms and warships. In fact, arms trade was a way to make a fortune that Zhang Yanling had long thought of. He not only wanted to sell it to the Gala people, but also to the hostile countries of the Gala Kingdom in the north of the Indian continent. Eat at both ends and gain profit at both ends, and let them fight and consume it.

Speaking of which, since its establishment, the Wild Dogling Arsenal has never seen any money coming back. If you invest the money like flowing in, it will naturally be rewarded. If you make a large number of arms and sell them to overseas countries, Wild Dogling will become its trump card in money-making industry. As long as the quality of arms is lower than that of your own use, it will not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty. It is best if they fight and consume it every day, and that is the silver rolling in.

No one can do this business except yourself.

For example, in dealing with the interests and disputes involving the Ming Dynasty's expatriates, Zhang Yanling believed that King Gala would definitely propose a compromise plan. That is, to establish a trial institution involving both personnel and interests, jointly hear cases, resolve disputes, and coordinate resolution. This will prevent the Ming Dynasty from infringing on the administrative and judicial power of the State of Gala and interfering in its internal affairs.

Zhang Yanling actually recognized this. Under the current circumstances, Zhang Yanling would not forcefully demand to be in one step. Originally, Zhang Yanling did not think of becoming the master who controls this continent. He was not strong enough and the time was far from here. He gained a foothold and everything worked. The deeper the power penetrated, the easier it would be to handle the subsequent things.

However, Zhang Yanling miscalculated. He was ready to bargain step by step and to debate with the other party with clever tongue. However, King Krishna of Garo had no objection to Zhang Yanling's many conditions and excessive demands.

There is no quarrel, no anger, no beard, no stare at the verbal, no table to intimidate each other. Everything is too calm.

It was like a huge stone being thrown into the water, which was supposed to stir up huge splashes and layers of waves. As a result, it sank into the bottom of the water with a gurgle, and no splashes or ripples appeared.

It seemed that he had tried his best to punch him, but the other party's body was like air, and it almost drifted his waist.

"I fully agree with these conditions proposed by Duke Zhang. I think it's all done. We will draw up a treaty and finalize the details, and then we will sign and take effect. From then on, we will do it according to this treaty." Krishna smiled.

Zhang Yanling was stunned and asked, "Does His Majesty the King have no other ideas about the content of these treaties? Do you have no requirements for this?"

Krishna waved her hand and said, "There is no. There is nothing particularly unacceptable to these terms. I think this must have been carefully proposed after your careful consideration. The people of the Ming Dynasty were indeed reasonable. You are much more reasonable than the people of the Flangji. Those bandits were too much. They even wanted to control the military and political power of our kingdom and obey their opinions. There was no such content in your treaty, which already satisfies me. As for the others, they were all irrelevant trivial matters. I believe that the contents in the treaty are for the friendship and mutual benefit of both of us. So, just do it like this, no need to discuss it, just decide it."

Zhang Yanling was speechless.

Krishna smiled and said, "Leave the details to the people below to do. I think it will be done in two days. I am most afraid of these trivial matters in my life. I think the Duke of the Kingdom is not willing to indulge in these trivial matters. Let them do it, let's go hunting. The Duke of the Kingdom should not know that there are many wild animals in the Eastern Ghats of my country, including tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and elephants. People like Duke of the Kingdom must like to hunt. I will accompany the Duke of the Kingdom to hunt, and at the same time enhance the friendship between you and me. What do you think of Duke of the Kingdom?"

Zhang Yanling looked at Krishna silently, looking at his sincere look. Zhang Yanling could not refuse.

"Okay. Your Majesty the King is indeed a person who does great things. He is wise and decisive. Since Your Majesty the King has made an appointment, how can I not be rude? Then go to the mountain to hunt and come back to sign the contract again." Zhang Yanling smiled.
