Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Zhou Liangzhi was laughed angrily by Qian Haocheng: "Aren't you being arrogant! These two fleets are also my Ming's navy, with the same firepower configuration and the same soldier equipment, they naturally don't care too much.

But let me tell you, even if the South China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet come, at most they will lose both sides. If they don't care at all, that is impossible. "

Qian Haocheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true. Speaking of which, when will those barbarians come out and surrender?"

Zhou Liangzhi said: "Come whenever you want, anyway, it doesn't exceed the time set by our admiral."

Qian Haocheng was about to say something, but Zhou Liangzhi said, "Here we come!"

Qian Haocheng, who had been watching the sunrise with his back turned to Zhou Liangzhi, also lost interest in continuing to watch. After turning around, he picked up his binoculars and looked at Batavia Harbor.

Just like the big health care services in later generations, if you want to do it, you have to do a full set of it. It will make people feel that something is missing.

The same goes for Governor Cohen.

Since you have already gambled on your reputation and chose to surrender, then don't act like that eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and just do the whole job to make sense.

So not only was the white flag hoisted on the warship that Governor Cohen sailed over again, but even the remaining three-masted warships in Batavia Harbor lowered their sails that were half-raised, and also hoisted the white flag. up the white flag.

As for the ground in Batavia Port, there was a neat line of empty-handed soldiers from the East India Company, with muskets and cold weapons piled up together.

Zhou Liangzhi smiled and said to Qian Haocheng: "What, what am I talking about? These barbarians are not the kind of heroes who never retreat!

If it were the grandsons of the Beijing Camp or the Northern and Southern Imperial Forests guarding this Batavia, unless there is no one in the whole Batavia who will be panting, don't even try to make them surrender! "

Qian Haocheng hummed twice but did not refute.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was not that the soldiers of the Beijing Camp and the Northern and Southern Imperial Forest Army were so brave and fearless, but that they were afraid that their family members would be affected after their death, even the soldiers of the navy themselves.

Just like what the eunuch of the supervising army has repeatedly emphasized, one person dies in battle, the whole family is honored, and one person surrenders, the whole family is unlucky.

This has always been an unbreakable truth in the East. Even if it is for their families, these soldiers are impossible, let alone choose to surrender.

After seeing Zhou Liangzhi and Qian Haocheng again, Cohen, one of the Seventeen Gentlemen, the governor of Batavia of the East India Company, took off his hat first, and said, "I'm very glad to see you two friends again. "

After Zhou Liangzhi and Qian Haocheng bowed their hands to salute, Cohen continued: "I would like to trouble you to introduce your Excellency Governor Nan again for me?"

Zhou Liangzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cohen, Governor Nan is already waiting for Mr. Cohen, please follow me."

In Nan Juyi's command cabin, Cohen once again saw the unsmiling Nan Juyi: "Mr. Nan, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we chose to put down our knives and guns to solve the problem.

But again, we want to be treated decently. "

Nan Juyi nodded and said, "Naturally. Before the order of His Majesty the Ming Emperor is delivered, Nan will guarantee the safety of everyone."

Although Cohen had expressed his surrender to Nan Juyi, and Nan Juyi probably accepted it, but before Emperor Chongzhen explicitly accepted Cohen's surrender, Nan Juyi could not accept Batavia.

In other words, whether Emperor Chongzhen can accept Cohen's surrender is still unknown, and Nan Juyi is just trying to test it in the hope of just in case.

Anyway, judging from the previous style of Emperor Chongzhen, it is very likely that there will be a fight in the end.

It was precisely because of this that Nan Juyi chose to continue to surround Batavia, but did not attack, but only waited for the order of Emperor Chongzhen.

But Zhou Liangzhi was obsessed with the charts and sailing diary on the Dutch battleship.

Looking at Chen Liangzhi walking back and forth, Nan Juyi stroked the gray beard on his chest and smiled, "Why are you so impatient? Even if you take over Batavia, you are sure that you will be able to find the charts and sailing diary?

If it were you, would you leave diaries and charts related to Daming's coastal defense? "

Zhou Liangzhi thought for a while, but said firmly: "The humble will choose to die in battle! The humble would rather sink to the bottom of the sea with these things than let them fall into the hands of barbarians!"

Nan Juyi smiled and said: "That's it. You will think so, and so will the barbarians. There is too much information in the charts and logbooks, which are extremely valuable to any fleet or even the country. How can it easily fall into the hands of others?"

Zhou Liangzhi asked unwillingly, "Do you want it?"

Shaking his hand, Nan Juyi smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Since we have accepted their surrender, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."

Seeing that Zhou Liangzhi was still puzzled, Nan Juyi continued: "The old man will write the situation here into a memorial and present it to His Majesty, and the rest will naturally be decided by His Majesty and the military government."

After arranging a lot of things, Nan Juyi continued to order Zhou Liangzhi: "Send someone to Zheng Zhilong and ask him to see if Zheng Yiguan has brought down Lu Song. Do we have to let Donghai The fleet should go and help him!"

Zhou Liangzhi was also a little speechless.

Admiral Nan is good in every way, no matter whether he is an official or a person, he basically has no choice, except when facing the South China Sea Fleet, he seems to be a different person.

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious and distressed.

Although the East India Company is notorious, it can be said that there are many evil deeds in the textbooks of flower growers. Even mites are rubbed on the ground, and those film and television dramas and novels of later generations even boast that the East India Company is the only one in heaven and earth. It's almost like saying that Lao Tzu is the king of the earth.

But judging from the current situation, not to mention self-importance, he doesn't even have the guts to confront the East China Sea Fleet, so what's so good about it?

As for the reason why Emperor Chongzhen was so stupid, it was just like what the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Communications, and Ministry of Households said. After killing all the barbarians, who will be the coolie?

Since it is not possible to directly kill the barbarians, it is better to think of other ways to get enough benefits from the barbarians.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered Wang Chengen to send someone to Honglu Temple to bring Li Chengyan, who was learning business knowledge from the big guys, and Xu Hongji, the leader of the Nanjing Military Mansion.

After Li Chengyan and Xu Hongji finished their audience ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to hand over Nan Juyi's memorial to Li Chengyan: "Let's see first, what should these Dutch people do?"

After Li Chengyan read the memorial carefully, he directly bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, since the Dutch surrendered, they must be afraid of death. You might as well cut off their land at this time and ask for their silver."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head: "This is the surrender of the East India Company, not the court of the Netherlands. There is nothing wrong with asking for its silver taels. As for cracking its land, Batavia alone is too little?"

Li Chengyan didn't think of any sinister tricks for a while, but Xu Hongji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, if a child makes a mistake, people will always find his parents, and this East India is the child of the Dutch?"

Emperor Chongzhen burst out laughing suddenly.

Originally, I thought about whether to accept the surrender of these East India Company people, but now it seems unnecessary.

This guy Xu Hongji found a perfect excuse for Emperor Chongzhen - to crusade against the country of no way.

After laughing, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Let Nan Juyi accept the surrender of the Honan East India Company, and let the land of Batavia be owned by Ming. All the Dutch people living in Batavia, let them go!" "

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen remembered one more thing, and asked, "Xu Aiqing, how much was the South China Sea Fleet spending on this trip?"

After some calculations in his mind, Xu Hongji bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, since the transfer of troops, the food, salaries and ammunition supplies have been about 100 million taels.

If only the cost of pacifying the Great Ryukyu is calculated, it is about 90 taels, mainly due to the huge cost of shells and firecrackers.

In the land of Batavia, because there was no actual firefight, there was not much waste, and only about 10 taels of food and salaries were negligible. "

After nodding his head, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Order him to pay 1000 million taels of silver for military expenses!"

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Li Chengyan: "I have said something earlier, the negotiations with the barbarians are based on you, may you be competent?"

Although he felt the pressure of this trip was enormous, Li Chengyan still bowed directly and said: "I will not disgrace my mission!"

Emperor Chongzhen waved and ordered Li Chengyan to die, and then ordered Xu Hongji: "The king of the Netherlands has no way, and the emperor has no way, so that the people from East India invaded our dynasty, and ordered Nan Juyi to attack the disobedient ministers!"
