Chapter 207 Mingxi Chicken Coop Treaty (Second update, please subscribe)
"Broader cooperation?"

At this time, Wades was excited, and he knew exactly what this proposal meant.Not only does it mean that he can escape the punishment of defeat, but he will also become a hero in Spain.

"Your Excellency, what if we send troops to Batavia together?"

"Send troops to Batavia together?"

Shi Yiwen frowned and said.

"You said."

"Your Excellency, as we all know, the most important stronghold of the Dutch in Southeast Asia is Batavia. Without Batavia, the Dutch would not be able to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia. Without the shipyard and the port, it would be impossible for the Dutch to continue Enter Southeast Asia, and by then, Your Excellency will no longer have to worry about any threat from the Netherlands..."

Of course, it’s not just that Ming doesn’t need to worry about the Dutch, Spain is also the same. Without the threat from the Netherlands, Manila doesn’t even need to maintain a fleet. To trade with the Chinese, just paying silver is enough. It was the threat of the Dutch that forced Manila to maintain a fleet.

This expenditure is extremely huge. For the Governor's Palace of New Spain, it is not only a heavy expenditure, but also affects the security of Spain-the British, the Dutch and even the French, they are looting everywhere in the Atlantic Spanish ships, robbing Spanish silver ships.If there is no threat from the Dutch in Manila, he can return to New Spain, fight against British, Dutch, and French pirates in the Atlantic Ocean, and obtain his own personal military exploits while protecting the king's property.

Compared to Asia... that's where soldiers should go.

"Send troops together, how many warships can you dispatch?"

"At least eighteen warships..."

After thinking about it, Wades took another look at the three battered warships, and now they have become weapons of war for the Chinese.

"Eighteen ships!"

Shi Yiwen couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that it was a good thing that the Spaniard Toda hadn't sent all the warships here, otherwise, based on his current strength alone, he might not necessarily be their opponent.

"And how many warships do the Dutch have in Batavia?"

"This……"

Wades froze for a moment, then replied.

"At least thirty warships, and hundreds of armed merchant ships, whatever, sir, that's all the ships of the Dutch East India Company, there aren't that many in Batavia, and, in Manila, we have More than a dozen galleons, they can also join in this war, besides, Ming's sea power is also extremely huge."

For Wades' judgment, Shi Yiwen did not refute, after thinking for a moment, he laughed.

"If we send troops together to capture Batavia, what does Spain want?"

In the sixth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, on the ninth day of September, after negotiations between Ming and Western sides, the two sides signed a treaty - "The Chicken Coop Treaty". He apologized for the incident, and compensated Daming with 20000 taels of silver for military expenses, and another 20000 taels of compensation for the loss of Fanshe who was robbed by him. Will invade the land of Ming Dynasty again.

Of course, if compensation and apology are only agreed in the treaty, Vades will definitely be tried by a military court after returning home. What is the real significance of this treaty?Of course, it is a trade treaty between the two parties. Spanish galleons can directly enter Beigang to trade in the area under the jurisdiction of Xuanwei, and corresponding Ming ships can also conduct trade in New Spain, including Manila. Both parties have the obligation and responsibility to protect each other. merchant.

To a certain extent, this treaty is not so much a "aftermath treaty" as it is a trade treaty.

In fact, when the treaty was signed, both parties had their own ideas. In Valdes’ view, it was impossible for Ming’s merchant ships to enter New Spain through the “Great Ship Route”. After all, the Spaniards had always monopolized this route, and In Shi Yiwen's view, this treaty is the stepping stone for Ming Dynasty to enter North America.

The north of New Spain is not a barren land.San Francisco... can also be taken from Spain in the future.As for accepting Spanish merchant ships to come to trade, it doesn't make any sense at all, because the Spaniards never trade.

Of course, there is also a secret treaty in this treaty, which is the clause that Vaders dreamed of-for the clause of the Netherlands, the two parties agreed to send troops to Batavia together within the next year. After that, Ming has the exclusive right to Batavia.However, Valdes also put forward his condition-Spanish merchant ships can go directly to the Spice Islands to purchase spices from the plantation on the spot.In other words, it is the kind where there is no middleman to make the difference.

Of course Shi Yiwen didn't reject this, it's just business.Moreover, there are many ways to countermeasure at that time, such as imposing export taxes, etc., and some ways to increase the cost of the Spaniards.

However, because Daming does not have a suitable port in Southeast Asia, in order to ensure the common interests of both parties, it is agreed that Daming leases Subic Bay in Luzon Island and uses Subic Bay as its port. Of course, Daming has to pay the Manila authorities every year 2000 taels of silver, the lease time is 20 years.

In terms of rent payment, Shi Yiwen offered to use the captured three warships to offset the rent for the next 20 years.

In this regard, Wades was naturally overjoyed, and quickly agreed.In the ensuing negotiations, "surrender" naturally became a "friendly negotiation" after the fierce battle between the two sides. In other words, Wades is no longer a prisoner of Ming Dynasty.

Why do you do this?

To put it bluntly, Shi Yiwen needs Vaders to bring this treaty back to Manila. Whether it is Subic Bay or Batavia, it is what Ming needs. Of course, with the help of the Spaniards, it will not save Less forceful.

As for Manila... 20 years later, Manila may no longer belong to the Spaniards!It is self-evident who Manila belonged to at that time.

With your wishes, the two sides quickly signed a treaty, and Vaders promised to leave after repairing the ship.Moreover, during this period, the two sides also carried out trade-the cotton cloth produced in Beigang was exported for the first time. Although the quantity was not large, it was at least a breakthrough.

On September [-]th of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, after a few days of repairs, Valdes set sail again and began to return to Manila in the south. When they left, Shi Yiwen stood on the simple fort left by the Spaniards. language.

"Okay, the door to the world has been opened to us!"
