Daming One Piece

Chapter 237 Ultimatum (Second Update)
"How could this be? How could the Chinese attack us so treacherously?"

The reason why Cohen said this is because after he took office, he sent envoys to Beigang on his own initiative, trying to delineate the sphere of influence with Beigang.

Although Beigang's attitude was extremely ambiguous in the city of Orange, they were very "open-minded" on the issue of Batavia. It seemed that their goal was the Nantian Gate. It seemed that the relationship between the Netherlands and the Chinese There is no disagreement.

Even after the Spaniards were repelled by him in Keelung, he breathed a sigh of relief. The conflict between China and Spain is undoubtedly a great thing for the Netherlands.

However, he never thought that one day the Chinese would fight with the Spaniards.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese and the Spaniards have joined forces!"

"Are they, are they trying to occupy Batavia?"

"Chinese……"

It wasn't until this time that they realized that there were also Chinese on the city walls!

In an instant, the city suddenly became chaotic. Wei Nanyi and the others all took up swords and guns one after another, as did the Dutch.

"Mr. Wei, put down your weapons, we promise we will never hurt you!"

"Turtle son only listens to you!"

Wei Nan shouted.

"Listen up, everyone. The imperial army is just outside the city. If these red-haired ghosts want to take care of us, we will fight them to the death!"

The Chinese defending on the city wall will not know what will happen if they fall into the hands of the Dutch. Although their number is only a thousand, there are imperial court troops outside the city.

If there is a fight, it is not certain who loses and who wins!

"Sakai, don't you always say that you want to serve the Celestial Dynasty? If you don't rebel now, when will you rebel!"

Wei Nanyi shouted at Sakai.

Sakai and the others, who were at a loss at first, also weighed in their hearts when they heard Wei Nanyi's shout.

Outside the city is the army of the Celestial Dynasty!
Seeing this, Cohen hurriedly shouted.

"Sakai Hatamoto, you are company mercenaries, you should have the honor of being samurai..."

The honor of the samurai...

Sakai and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay, what kind of warriors are they, that is, ronin without a master.

Ronin...

Looking at the Chinese army outside the city, Sakai Ichiro said loudly.

"We wait for the Japanese, how can we fight against the army of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Pulling out the Japanese sword, Ichiro Sakai said to Cohen.

"It's true that we were hired by you, but you are a company, and the celestial dynasty is the celestial dynasty. Is there any kingdom in the world? We dare not fight against the celestial dynasty. I advise you barbarians not to fight against the army of the celestial dynasty. Otherwise, you will die like those Horses are like blue people, there is no place to die..."

As soon as Sakai Ichiro drew his sword, all the other Japanese ronin drew out to face each other. For a while, the Chinese and Japanese on the city wall were all holding swords and guns and facing the Dutch with swords.

Such a situation was completely beyond Cohen's expectations. Even if he was as strong as him, he would only be dumbfounded in the face of such a scene...

But dumbfounded is dumbfounded. Cohen is very clear about the current situation. Once a fight happens, the Dutch in the city will not have an advantage at all. If the Chinese take the opportunity to attack the city, then all of them must die without a place to die .

"Mr. Wei!"

Cohen, aware of the crisis, shouted.

"I don't think there is any need for us to fight here. What do you think? The Chinese army is just outside the city, and I can negotiate with officials!"

……

A massive joint attack.

The result was so anticlimactic that even Shi Yiwen felt a little embarrassed. Originally, according to his prediction, Batavia should need to attack by force.Just like Zheng Chenggong regained Zhelanzha,
Even killing was done to frighten the Dutch.

But who would have thought that civil strife actually broke out on Batavia's side.Cohen then offered to negotiate.

Negotiation, what is there to talk about?

"Dear Consolation Envoy, the East India Company has always respected Daming very much. We never thought of becoming an enemy of Ming. The Chinese implemented protection."

Of course, Cohen will never say that he needs the Chinese to help them guard the city.But what gave him a headache was that those Chinese and Japanese now had weapons in their hands, and their number even far exceeded that of the Dutch.

"It does not matter!"

Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.

"Whether it's Batavia or Rezelan, legally speaking, they are all feudal lords of Ming Dynasty. Now you have only one choice, which is to leave here. Otherwise, the people of Matalan will be a lesson for you..."

"My lord, when, when did this place become a feudal leader of the Ming Dynasty?"

Cohen retorted loudly.

"This is Matalan..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Yiwen said.

"There is no Ma Dalan in the world anymore. As early as 200 years ago, the fleet of Ming Dynasty had already arrived here. The earth king here was canonized by Da Ming, and Ma Dalan... is also rebellious. I led the army here, and I will punish you." Rebellion, restore the Daming feudal domain."

Jurisprudentially speaking... Shi Yiwen is right. Among the chieftains in the South China Sea, there was a country that did not accept the canonization of Ming Dynasty, but that was 200 years ago. Now those chieftains have either been overthrown by their own people , or was overthrown by Tianfang Marine Merchant.But it doesn't matter, Daming's Ministry of Rites has evidence of canonization back then.Those credentials are enough to prove that the South China Sea, not just the South China Sea, including many states on the east and west coasts of India, are all vassal states of Ming Dynasty.

Since it is a vassal state, their land is the vassal land of Ming Dynasty. Many countries have disappeared?It doesn't matter, the country disappeared, it was because of the rebellious officials and thieves, it was because of the invasion of outsiders, and it was only natural that the suzerain country restored its feudal domain.

Therefore, no matter from the historical origin or jurisprudence, those lands are definitely "belonging to China since ancient times", um, yes, even according to international practice, of course, Ming Dynasty must belong to this international practice Maker.

"My lord, you're simply making unreasonable words..."

Cohen argued loudly.

"Batavia belongs to..."

Does it belong to the Netherlands?

Of course not, even the Dutch themselves know who this land belongs to.

Looking at the surrendered Matalan men in the distance, Cohen fell silent.

"Governor Korn!"

Shi Yiwen stood up, looked at him and said.

"The ownership of Batavia, from now on, at any time, belongs to Daming and China, not only because it has belonged to China since ancient times, but more importantly..."

Staring at Cohen, Shi Yiwen said.

"This world speaks on strength. Now, you have two choices. One, fight to the end, or two, take your property and leave here."
