Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Now it's all right, not only can you get Batavia into your pocket, but you can also attack the Netherlands by the way, and dig another piece of meat from the Dutchman.

In this way, the plans discussed with Li Chengyan when they were in Zuixianlou can basically be perfectly realized - first cut a piece of meat from the Netherlands and Spain, and then swallow them whole.

After waving his hands and ordering Xu Hongji and Li Chengyan to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen's mind, which was very easy to go astray, suddenly thought of one thing.

At the beginning, I seemed to have made a decree, ordering Zhu Xieyuan to kill all the barbarians in Macau.

But the unequal treaties signed by Mite said that Macau was ceded to Portugal.

In other words, the two guys Zhu Xieyuan and Fu Weiming slaughtered in Macau were not Spanish or Dutch, but Portuguese?

Seems like something's wrong?According to Jin Yiwei's intelligence, Portugal conspired with Spain to divide the entire earth into two?

Later, he was stunned by Spain, and now he is still under Spanish rule?Planning to rebel against independence?

A headache!

These savage countries are all bad names, and there are many places where there are no big things. Today one flirts with that, and the other flirts with another tomorrow. It can really annoy everyone!

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen who felt a headache finally stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, they are all savages, and they don't need to pay attention to human rights. If you kill them by mistake, you will kill them by mistake.

Li Chengyan, who was out of the palace, was full of confidence, as long as he could understand the errand that His Majesty gave him this time, then the time for Zongheng Xue to stir up the situation will come!

After visiting Nan Juyi at Batavia Port, Li Chengyan only took a short rest before ordering someone to find someone from the East India Company, and he went directly to Cohen.

Although Cohen felt aggrieved, in order to be able to live with these people under him, or to negotiate a good result, he finally started negotiations with Li Chengyan himself.

Contrary to Cohen's expectations, Li Chengyan's so-called negotiation is basically similar to a notice. There are only three requirements in total, and nothing else is mentioned.

First, compensate Daming for military expenses of 2000 million taels of silver.

There was no way for this negotiation to continue. The first item alone gave Qiu En the urge to flip the table.

What does 2000 million taels of silver mean?

The entire East India Company, not just the East India Company in Batavia, but all companies in other regions can be counted together to get the 2000 million taels of silver, and the days to come are basically wearing their pants The belt is over.

As for the so-called military compensation, it is even more ridiculous.

Cohen didn't think he was a fool. He was able to be one of the seventeen gentlemen of the East India Company and also the governor of Batavia. Cohen naturally knew the approximate cost of the war.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Nan Juyi's fleet is not fighting mosquitoes with cannons, it is impossible to exceed the cost of 500 million taels, and even if it is doubled, it is impossible to exceed 1000 million taels.

The guy in front of him is 2000 million taels, why don't you grab it?

Cohen with a gloomy face didn't refute Li Chengyan's statement, but said, "I don't know what other conditions your country has?"

Li Chengyan also happily stated the second condition: the East India Company must, immediately, immediately give up and get out of Batavia.

As for where so many people from the East India Company will go in the future, this is the East India Company's own business.

PS: Thanks to the leader of "Sky Dream" for the reward. At the same time, in order to celebrate Keyi, I will score 95 points once, and there will be more updates later.

5 Chapter [-] "The Batavia Contract"

Cohen had heard from Li Chengyan from the very beginning that Daming had three conditions for a strike this time.

The first two are already so embarrassing, as for the remaining last condition, it is absolutely not easy to know without thinking.

Sure enough, Li Chengyan's understated attitude made Cohen want to kill the guy opposite: "The last condition is very simple, hand over your logbook and charts, and then there are no other conditions."

Ignoring Cohen with an ugly face, Li Chengyan continued: "By the way, as a friend, I will personally give you a piece of advice."

Cohen said with a dark face: "Please tell me?"

Li Chengyan said: "In the future, whenever the Daming Dragon Banner is everywhere, it's better for you to stay away. Otherwise, if there is any misunderstanding again, it will not be good for everyone's face."

The enraged Cohen resisted the urge to lift the table, and said with a sneer, "If Daming proposes such embarrassing three conditions, then I don't think there is anything to talk about. Why don't we compete on the battlefield!"

After Li Chengyan got up, he bowed slightly and pointed to the cabin door: "Then please go back! I will give you Dutch people a day to prepare. At this time tomorrow, our Ming South Sea Fleet will officially launch an attack on you!"

Miscalculated!

Seeing that Li Chengyan was so young and handsome, he must have been the favorite of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, or some kind of male favorite. As long as this kind of person was frightened, he would not have the courage to be so arrogant.

But I never thought that this person would be so staunch, he would go to war if he disagreed, leaving no room for bargaining for himself!

Although I was furious in my heart, I just went back like this, and the consequences can be imagined.

After taking a few deep breaths, Cohen took off his hat again and said to Li Chengyan, "I was rude just now, please forgive me."

Li Chengyan didn't even have any intention of giving Cohen any face. After turning around and sitting down, he sneered and said, "Then, Mr. Cohen has no objection to the three conditions I just mentioned?"

Cohen wanted to curse, but didn't dare.

Suppressing his anger, until his face turned red, Cohen spoke again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Messenger.

It's not that I don't want to agree to your conditions, it's really powerless.

Regarding the second and third points you raised, in fact, we can do it, even if we have been operating Batavia for decades, we are willing to give it up.

But for the first item, we really can't agree to your request. "

Seeing Li Chengyan's face turned from sunny to cloudy, Cohen quickly said: "It's not that we don't want to agree to your first request, but that we really have no choice.

Japan, which originally traded with us, closed the country, and Ming Dynasty was in a state of hostility with our East India Company, so Batavia as a whole did not have much silver.

The actual situation is that the entire Batavia can only take out 500 million taels of silver now, and there are goods equivalent to 500 million taels of silver.

In addition, the East India Company in the Netherlands is actively expanding, and all the silver has been used for turnover. At this time, there is no excess silver except for goods.

And Batavia only has 500 million taels of silver because it wants to become the new headquarters and center of gravity.

I have no intention of concealing the current situation. In fact, the East India Company does not even have much money to distribute dividends to shareholders. "

Li Chengyan said indifferently: "So what? What does it have to do with me, Daming?"

Cohen was taken aback by Li Chengyan's words, he really didn't expect this young guy in front of him to be so difficult.

After a while, Cohen opened his mouth and said, "I do have a proposal. I wonder if Mr. Messenger would be interested?"

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "Please tell me."

Cohen said: "We are willing to pay 400 million taels of silver, plus 500 million taels of goods, and another 50 taels for you personally, do you think?"

Li Chengyan sneered and said, "Give me 50 taels? You think too much.
