392, get slope island
The commercial street was directly hit by artillery fire, which resulted in the absence of merchants and shops, which means that the city's business system has reached a point of collapse, and it will be difficult for the daily life in the city to maintain normal operation.
Conservative estimates that this city would not be able to fully recover without two or a half years. As for the recovery of the urban commercial system, it would take longer. At least when Singapore Island became a new trade center, the Royal City of Malacca would definitely not be able to rise.
After all, the rise of Singapore Island will inevitably mean a head-on competition with the Malacca Royal City, but Malacca City is a traditional commercial and trade center in the region. Unless there are major changes, its status as a trade center will not be shaken in any way.
Now that Tim is bombarded by this, the position of the Trade Center of the Royal City of Malacca has been shaken and even on the verge of collapse. This directly provides an opportunity for Singapore Island to become the future commercial and trade center.
When Tim was recuperating in the restaurant, someone was sent to the palace, saying that everything had been resolved, and the prince asked His Majesty to move to the palace for a discussion.
Tim was not too surprised to hear this news. After all, Mansoursha had secretly controlled most of the power in the Malacca Royal City before. What's more, when the Malacca Royal City was bombarded last night, the remaining opposition forces had already surrendered to express obedience. Therefore, if Mansoursha had not completely controlled the palace before dawn, it can only be said that this person was too useless.
In the carriage, Tim entered the palace without any obstacles along the way. At this moment, the palace had completely changed. The original palace guards were all in uniform, and the current guards were dressed in messy clothes, including black, white, and gray. They stood on both sides in a row, without any sense of solemnity or solemnity. Obviously, these people should be the servants of the palace before.
It was not until we entered the main hall that the solemn atmosphere appeared. The guards here were wearing black clothes, standing on both sides with their heads raised and their chests raised.
When they saw Tim enter the main hall, the guards quickly knelt on one knee to salute Tim. There were no listless trees like the guards seen in front of them.
"His Majesty Tim." As soon as he saw Tim, Mansoursha quickly walked down from the emperor's throne and bowed to Tim: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I would not have succeeded."
Tim bowed and replied, "Your words are wrong. As the saying goes, auspicious people will have their own appearance. You can achieve such success entirely through your own efforts, and I have no effect."
"No, no, you have helped me a lot."
The two of them praised each other for a while, and then Tim brought his attention to his topic.
"Now that the matter has been done, should the prince fulfill his promise? You promised us that it would be the best place to give us Singapore Island after the matter is done. I wonder if I still have the final say?" Tim was worried about the land at this moment, and he really had no intention of continuing to talk to him.
Looking at Tim's anxious face, Mansoursha smiled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Tim, since I have promised you before, I will never go back on my word."
As he said that, he took out a map from his arms and handed it to Tim: "From today, Singapore Island will belong to your Nepton Kingdom."
Expand the map and look at the Singapore Island on the map and the dates marked next to it, Tim finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince is indeed generous, I am very grateful. It's just that there are still many local residents on the Singapore Island at this moment, so Prince, what should they do about it?"
"What does His Majesty Tim mean?" Mansoursha did not answer directly after hearing this, but threw the question to Tim again.
Tim installed the map and then said seriously: "I personally consider this. Although this island already belongs to us, the residents of these islands have believed in local customs and ruled by the Malacca dynasty for generations. So I want the prince to send soldiers to move all the residents of the island to your ruling areas. I wonder what the prince wants?"
Even though Singapore's future construction requires a large amount of labor, Tim is completely uneasy about the native Malacca people on this land. Now the control of the Nepton Kingdom in the Spice Islands is relatively weak, so Tim is absolutely unwilling to see the uprising of local residents. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the best way is to get all the local residents out.
After hearing Tim's answer, Mansoursha felt satisfied. As for Mansoursha himself, he was also unwilling to let the residents of Singapore be ruled by Tim. After all, the number of residents on Singapore Island is still very large. After these people are converted into a capita tax, the income is also considerable. The most important thing is that these people can provide sufficient labor for the reconstruction of the Royal City of Malacca.
"Okay, Your Majesty Tim, don't worry, you will stay in the Royal City of Malacca recently. I will move all the people from Singapore Island out in the next three days. When the Singapore Island is empty, you can go directly there." Mansoursha said with a smile.
Tim stood up and bowed: "Then I'll thank the prince. If nothing happens, I'll take it back first."
At this moment, the order of the Malacca Royal City has not been restored, so it will definitely be rewarding to take advantage of the situation at this time. Tim has already planned to collect some rare antiques after going out later.
"His Majesty Tim please stay. There is another thing I want to discuss with you." Mansoursha hurriedly called out to Tim: "His Majesty Tim should also know that although I have controlled the King of Malacca, there are still some opposition forces in other areas, which means that in the future, I have to maintain my rule through several wars..."
Listening to Mansoursha's nagging about various difficulties, Tim was a little impatient: "So what the hell is the prince trying to do? Are you planning to ask me to help you fight against those opposition forces? This seems to be outside our scope of discussion, right?"
