Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 688

For now, the Netherlands has almost defeated the Portuguese, and the Spaniards were wiped out by the Ming army. The spices here will be monopolized by them.It can be said that this is also a large fortune.

In the original history, this situation would have taken away their profits after the rise of other European countries, especially the United Kingdom, leaving them with little to earn.

But at this time, the army of the Ming Empire was the biggest threat. Although destroying the Spaniards would increase their monopoly on spices, there was a possibility that the army of the Ming Empire would also destroy the Netherlands by the way.

Now that the conditions have been offered, it depends on whether Anthony accepts them.

If you don't accept it, you will definitely have a large number of troops. There are many people in the Ming Dynasty and there are many ships. As long as Batavia is there, the monks can escape the temple.

Although it is said that Batavia has blocked the attack of tens of thousands of local indigenous people before.However, the army of the Ming Empire is different from the local aborigines. They also have cannons and muskets. At least in terms of weapons, they will not be weaker than Batavia. How can they defend?
Anthony had improved the treatment of the Ming people earlier, but he was actually afraid that the Ming army would find an excuse to attack Batavia.Because he knew that if Batavia was attacked by the Ming army, even if it was defended, it would suffer heavy losses.

Judging from the news brought back from Kui's belt, once the Ming Dynasty is serious, Batavia will basically not be able to hold on.

If you accept Ming's conditions, not only will Batavia be able to keep it, but more importantly, you will be able to do business with the Ming Empire.As Kui Yi said, there are huge business opportunities, and more trade varieties will be developed, and the wealth brought by it will be unimaginable.

Everything else is easy to say, it doesn't matter to send troops to help the Ming Empire fight, but it is a bit difficult to make the Netherlands a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!In the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know the specific situation in the Netherlands. Do you think that the Netherlands is also a monarchy?
He was in trouble, when suddenly, he heard movement from outside, chaotic footsteps, and noisy voices.

However, Anthony was thinking about very important things at this time, and he didn't bother to deal with the outside situation, so he began to weigh gains and losses in his heart.

The movement outside suddenly disappeared again, but after a while, suddenly, I heard a neat voice from outside: "If you want money, don't get out, if you want money, don't get out..."

This sound was made by thousands of people. It was so loud that it could be heard in the whole of Batavia.Not to mention, they shouted together near the Governor's Mansion, and the hearing inside the Governor's Mansion was even more deafening!
Anthony heard the voice, turned his head to look out of the window, and stayed there for a while.

Kui Yi's mouth turned slightly when he heard this, this was the countermeasure he had thought of before coming.

Let his subordinates spread the situation and sum it up in a simple sentence, that is, if you listen to the Ming Empire, you will have a lot of money;

For the Dutch in Batavia, they came here for money.Many people even borrowed money for this, hoping to make a fortune here.As a result, not only may they lose money, but they may even die, which of course they don't want to.

Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. For the Dutch, especially for the colonists, it is their life goal.

As the governor of Batavia, Anthony may consider the benefits and losses of the Netherlands becoming a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, as well as political influence and other aspects, but for other Dutch people in Batavia, they don't care about these. They only care about money!
Naturally, after listening to the detailed explanation of Kui Yi's subordinates, thousands of Dutch people in Batavia made the kind of decision Kui Yi expected without hesitation, and finally gathered in the Governor's Palace to petition.Even the lines of this petition were discussed in advance by Kuiyi and the others.

At this time, listening to the loud slogans outside, Kui looked at Anthony with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, this is the public opinion! If Your Excellency wants to vote, there is no doubt that the result has already been reached! "

"..." Anthony heard his words, turned his head and looked at him, speechless.

This is a proper conspiracy, and he has no way to refuse it.

If he dares to refuse, Anthony can imagine that the angry Dutch people outside will probably tear him up, or put him in the boss, and then support Kuiyi as the new governor of Batavia and lead them to make a fortune !

After thinking about this, Anthony naturally wouldn't hesitate, and immediately put on a smile and said, "Then what should I do next?"

........................

The bustle of the Batavia port will of course attract the attention of all the people in Batavia.

No, although many Batavians did not dare to approach the pier, which was full of Dutchmen, they were still inquiring for news out of curiosity.

However, most of them do not understand Dutch, at most they can only understand a few daily expressions. They feel that a lucky boat is coming on the pier, and Dutchmen are getting off the boat. It was released from Daming, so they wanted to know more, but they couldn't understand the language!

So, they immediately sent people to rush back to look for their Jiapidan.

Kapitan is the head of the Batavia Ming people, responsible for communicating with the Dutch, of course he understands Dutch.

Su Minggang was getting old, and although it was noisy outside, he was resting on his own, when suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, before the person arrived, the voice came first: "Old Su, Elder Su, hurry up!" Look, Daming is here!"

Hearing the words Daming is coming, Su Minggang was startled, and immediately stood up from the chair, and asked excitedly: "Why is Daming coming, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

The visitor panted, pointed to the direction of the pier and said, "A lucky boat came to the port, and the people who got off were all Dutch. They seemed to be escorted to the capital by Zeelandia City. They all came back for some reason. Go and listen, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Su Minggang raised his hand without saying a word, and said, "Crutches, give me the crutches, let's go!"

He is really old, and he can't go far without crutches.At this time, what he most wanted to know was news from his hometown.

The person who came quickly helped him get the crutches and helped him go out.

When crossing the threshold of the courtyard gate, Su Minggang tripped over the threshold and almost fell, but luckily he was supported.

"Old Su, slow down, slow down!"

"Ah, I'm in a hurry!" Su Minggang didn't listen, and still walked quickly, and said at the same time, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to return home if I die. There's news. Do you think I can't be in a hurry? What should we do if we are leaving?"

As a wise man, his idea of ​​returning fallen leaves to their roots is understandable.Therefore, upon hearing his words, the messenger helped him to walk faster.

But before they got out of the area where the Ming people lived, they heard a thunderous shout from the city: "If you want money, don't get out, if you want money, don't get out..."

Hearing this, Su Minggang was a little dumbfounded, what's going on?

He was the first batch of Ming people to come to Batavia, and he had never seen such a scene before. What happened?
Thinking this way in his heart, after he came back to his senses, he became even more curious, and hurriedly continued to walk outside.

It wasn't until he walked out of the Ming people's living area that he realized why he couldn't meet his compatriots just now, and they all came here to watch the excitement.

Men and women, young and old, are all here to watch the excitement.It's just that he, an old man who can't move quickly, doesn't hear anything outside the window, so he didn't come out to join in the fun!

Seeing him coming, many Ming people greeted him warmly.

"Old Su, come and watch the excitement!"

"Old Su, the sun really came out from the west, and the Dutch rebelled themselves!"

"That's right, Mr. Su, they're all going to besiege the Governor's Mansion!"

"..."

Listening to their chatter, Su Minggang looked out through the path they made way for.

Sure enough, I saw those Dutch people, some on duty, some on leisure, some men and some women, all with their backs to them, surrounded by the Governor's Palace as the center, standing there and shouting slogans: If you want money, don't go away, if you want money, don't go away..."

"..." Su Minggang was really dumbfounded, he didn't expect to see such an unbelievable scene in his life.

So, after he came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked what was going on, but no one could answer him.

However, Su Minggang can assert that this must have something to do with the released Dutchmen from Zeelandia, or simply put, it has something to do with Daming!
Thinking of this, he really wanted to know what was going on!

So, Su Minggang walked over and pulled a Dutchman standing at the back to ask about the situation.

The Dutch in Batavia, of course, knew the leader of the Ming.In the past, after all, the Dutch are the masters of Batavia. They definitely have a natural sense of superiority towards Orientals, and they ignore Ming people.

But at this time, when he saw Su Minggang, his face was filled with a smile, and he responded with a very good attitude.After knowing what Su Minggang wanted to know, he told Su Minggang everything he knew.

At the end, he flatteringly said to Su Minggang: "Mr. Su, I need your help to lobby later, please help us, okay?"

Su Minggang didn't hear his words clearly, because at this moment, he was already stunned.

Daming is really a time of peace and prosperity!And with the national power of Ming Dynasty, the Dutch rebelled just by sending a letter now!
The strength of the motherland, at this moment, he feels the most profound!
That's right, only when the motherland becomes stronger can they, Ming people overseas, get better treatment. It was before, it is now, and it will definitely be even more so in the future!
