Chapter 450: Ambassador to Banten
When Qiu Fengji was training slaves and repairing the earth, his fellow villager Wang Jia joined the third row and eighth squad of the sixth company, the second battalion, the third battalion of the army's independent first brigade, as a supplementary soldier. The brigade commander was Zhou Quanbin and conquered. The lucky guy in Batavia, the company commander of Wang Jia's sixth company is Chen Shi, who is just over twenty-five years old.
Not long after the establishment of the Southeast Army, officers and soldiers were generally young, but it was this army with a short history that swept the entire Southeast Asia.
The first brigade was under the command of the Governor of Java, Chen De. Chen De’s first battle was used against the Banten State on the west side of the island of Java.
This country is one and a half west of Java Island, and most of it is east of Sumatra. It controls the Sunda Strait, a narrow waterway between Sumatra and Java.
The head of the country is called "Sudan", and a political meeting is set up with the participation of the nobles. As Sudan's advisory body, the prime minister, the prime minister, and the ministers are set up. The local governance is the "parti system", that is, It is a provincial system where the prefect is the chief executive.
Banten has state-owned money. They are engaged in intermediary trade and benefit from the spice trade with Europe. Banten is an international commodity trading center, with frequent trade transactions with China, Indochina, India, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. In recent years , Aceh on the Malacca Strait, Sumatra, is prosperous and taxation is very heavy. As a result, many merchant ships are reluctant to cross the Strait of Malacca and switch to the Sunda Strait. This has greatly benefited the state of Banten.
It is profitable to attack it, and on the side of our couch, how can we allow others to sleep soundly!
Chen De adopted a "slow shot" war strategy.
That is to say, after the capture of Batavia, only to implement the rule of Shintoku, strengthen the infrastructure, build the city, and strengthen the training, send personnel to the surrounding area in the name of caravan to spy on the environment, but basically have nothing to do with the surrounding forces. .
He ignored all the countries and forces in Batavia until he thought that the time was right, so he used the seal he obtained when he captured Batavia, and forged documents based on the data of Batavia in the Netherlands. Put those seals on, and then send envoys to the country of Banten to negotiate.
The royal palace of the Kingdom of Banten is magnificent and magnificent, covered with gold everywhere, pillars, walls, ground, and golden thrones! Let the envoy of the Southeast Mansion Chen Tianxiao whisper to himself how beautiful it would be if the gold could be snatched back!
Chen Tianxiao is a star officer trained by the army. After the establishment of the army, he envied the navy's star captain Hong Xi as the spokesperson of the navy. He was tall and mighty, able to fight, and had a superior temperament, especially good at a good foreign language.
So they vigorously cultivated Chen Tianxiao, who was also so majestic and mighty in stature. The Wang Ting who entered the Kingdom of Banten put a lot of pressure on the other party.
He was met by Sudan of the Kingdom of Banten (the name of the ruler of the Arab kingdom) Aziz Muhammad. This Sudan was only twelve years old and was governed by the Chief Minister Reza Youssef. Sennapati (i.e. army commander) Ali Khalid and Rashamarah (i.e. naval admiral) Adiben, plus some elders.
The Wandan Kingdom ruled well in the last century, but in recent years, courtiers have been fighting for power and have been caught in internal struggles. Most of them are young princes, and the real power is in the hands of the ministers.
They heard Chen Tianxiao say in fluent Banten dialect: "I am Chen Tianxiao, an army officer of the Southeast Prefectural Government. On the order of our Governor Chen De, I pay tribute to His Highness Sudan of your country!"
After he bowed, he explained his intentions: "The Red-haired Dutchman was defeated in Batavia and surrendered to our southeastern government. He has already transferred all his interests to our hands!"
With a wave of his hand, an officer who followed presented a pile of Dutch documents and handed them to the people of Banten for viewing.
Can people in Wandan understand ghost text?
Of course I don’t understand, and Chen Tianxiao is responsible for the explanation:
The first item is the deposit of 20,000 Spanish silver dollars that has been handed to the people of Banten. I ordered 200,000 silver dollars of spices, or I will give them back 20,000 silver dollars. Or the Southeast Government will perform all the transactions.
The second item is the Dutch business building in Banten. The land is about the size of 100 acres in China. It is located by the sea. In addition to the buildings and warehouses, there is also a wharf. The business building must be returned to the Southeast.
The third item is a loan from a nobleman in Banten. The IOUs are all in the Southeast Mansion. The money is about 80,000 silver dollars. Repayment!
……
Hearing Chen Tianxiao's words, the kings and ministers of Wandan looked at each other and were silent!
The Kingdom of Banten is very close to Batavia. Hearing that the Dutch had been defeated, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I celebrated with each other: I don’t have to pay back the money I owe!
The Dutch set up the land of the business hall in Banten. Because the Dutch did a good job and exquisite architecture, they had already shared the light with the rich and powerful, and then built on this foundation. Now the Chinese officer actually said that he would take it back!
Banten Wangting elder Karim has white hair and beard, he sternly said: "Their papers are fake, the Dutch are dead long ago, and they won't give the benefits to these Chinese at all!"
No wonder he reacted so badly. This old guy owes the Dutch 30,000 silver dollars, the one who owes the most money. The downfall of the Dutch prevents him from having to pay back the money. If the Dutch actually transfers the benefits to the Chinese, the old guy is of course unhappy. La.
Chen Tianxiao secretly thanked the brigade commander Zhou Quanbin for the rapid advance when he captured Batavia, and the Dutch governor's palace fell into the hands of the Southeast Army intact, retaining a lot of information, including the IOUs of the nobles of various countries.
The red hair fan had a bad heart and extended loans to the nobles of various countries, so as to control them, and now they are used by the Southeast Army to make things happen.
Chen Tianxiao calmly said: "We keep your IOU~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As for the Dutch, they are voluntarily transferring their interests, and there are four Dutch people who came with me. They can testify for me!"
The Dutch testify for the Chinese?
of course!
These four Dutchmen are wearing the uniforms of the Southeast Army. They originally fought with the Southeast Fleet at sea. They have transformed into foreigners who came to China to help fight in China. They were paid by the Southeast Army, and they must speak for the Southeast Army.
Senapati Ali Khalid disapprovingly said: "This is counterintuitive, I don't believe it!"
People are not stupid, Chen Tianxiao said sternly: "So does your country intend to recognize the benefits that our country enjoys?"
Ali Khalid said tit-for-tatly: "We admit the reasonable, we don't admit the unreasonable!"
Reza Youssef who has been silent for a while: "Please go down and rest for a while, let us discuss!"
After Chen Tianxiao bowed to Sudan Aziz Muhammad, he was taken to rest by two eunuchs!
Eunuchs were used by the Daming of the East, and in the royal court of Sudan, due to the large number of women, they also used eunuchs, but the Southeast Mansion did not use eunuchs.
After Chen Tianxiao left, Reza Youssef didn't say much, and asked everyone: "If there is a war with the Southeast Army, are you sure?"
