Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 258 A Little Pot of Love, Fairness and Justice
After the news was sent back to Daming, Zhu Jinsong was stunned.

In order to prevent conflicts with Ming Dynasty, the Dutch East India Company first strongly suppressed the Indian monkeys, but the Indian monkeys were unwilling to be suppressed, so they went directly to the Dutch East India Company.

Then Shi Chengzu raised his army as the consolation envoy of the old port of Ming Dynasty. He wanted to do both the Indian monkey and the Dutch East India Company. He claimed that he wanted to rebuild the consolation department of the old port of Ming Dynasty. The above form is attached to the request.

Then, the Dutch East India Company sent people to the yamen of Honglu Temple in the capital of Daming, claiming that the people of Ming Dynasty were smuggling such things to the colonies of the Dutch East India Company, and by the way, they also provoked war, demanding that Daming take care of their own people.

In short, it is a place with big farts, but the movement is very big, and the three-party forces are fighting more lively than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The point is that the operations of those Ming businessmen and Shi Chengzu were too sloppy, and Shi Chengzu directly played the banner of the Ming Dynasty Old Port Propaganda Department, and even wore the official uniform given to his family during the Yongle period. The big seal of the Old Port Consolation Envoy was used.

This is tantamount to directly blocking the Ming court—recognize the old Hong Kong Xuanweisi or not?
If you admit the Old Port Proclamation Department, you have to let the Dutch East India Company go.

Not recognizing the Old Port Proclamation Department is tantamount to giving up the Old Port Proclamation Department voluntarily, and also acknowledging the Dutch East India Company's right to rule the Old Port Proclamation Department.

Or to put it more bluntly, it was because these few businessmen and Shi Chengzu's mysterious operation directly disrupted Zhu Jinsong's original plan.

Zhu Jinsong originally planned to let Yinhou and the Dutch East India Company make more noise, and it would be better to let Yinhou rush to Lanfang Chief Envoy to make a little noise, so that Daming would have enough The reason for opening a film with the East India Company.

But let Shi Chengzu and the others be so tidy, but it feels a little bit up and down, just like going straight to the clubhouse after holding back for several months, and the clubhouse closed down for rectification.

What's even worse is that no matter how upset you are, this matter has to continue.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Jinsong to give up the Old Port Proclamation Department, just like Europa cannot lose Jerusalem.

Although the Old Port Proclamation Department does not have any special significance like Jerusalem, the geographical location of the Old Port Proclamation Department is really crucial.

With the Old Port Propaganda Department and the Lanfang Chief Envoy, Daming can safely use the Old Port Propaganda Department and Qiongzhou, Xiaoliuqiu, and Daliuqiu to build the real first island chain, so as to ensure that the mainland of Daming will not Threats from the sea.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong directly transferred Zhu Erdan to Guangzhou Mansion, and asked Zhu Erdan's former military governor's mansion to solve the matter of the old Hong Kong Xuanweisi. Zhu Jinsong himself wandered leisurely from Jinling to Sichuan, planning to eat well in Sichuan. a period of time.

Mapo tofu, husband and wife lung slices, fatty rice rolls, boiled cabbage, hibiscus fish fillets, Dengying beef...

Gee.

As for the Dutch East India Company at the Old Port Proclamation Department...just a Dutch barbarian, who was beaten by England again, the Dutch barbarians who are going downhill, let Zhu Erdan deal with them.

Of course, the procedures that should be followed on the surface still have to be followed.

First of all, Honglu Temple sent an official document to Xiao Poguo, declaring that the Old Port Xuanweisi was the territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times. Although it was occupied and ruled by the Dutch for a short time, Daming would not give up the ownership of the Jiugang Xuanweisi.

Immediately afterwards, the Li Fanyuan also sent a note to the Dutch embassy in Daming, demanding that the Dutch royal family must strictly control the Dutch East India Company, and ordered the Dutch East India Company to withdraw from the Old Port Propaganda Department.

The Dutch ambassador to Ming Dynasty, Herman William Dandels, was so confused that he immediately wanted to go to Xiaopoguo's headquarters in Shuntianfu to appeal.

However, after Dandels went to Xiaopoguo's headquarters, Xiaopoguo told Dandels that the Netherlands has not yet joined Xiaopoguo, so Xiaopoguo will not accept the matter of the Netherlands. The Honglu Temple of Daming discussed and discussed how to solve this matter.

The French ambassador to Xiaopoguo, who has a good relationship with Dandels, directly stated that this matter is beyond Xiaopoguo's ability——

If the Netherlands has conflicts with other small countries, then the little pot will definitely come forward to mediate, and at worst, let a disobedient small country disappear;

If there is any conflict between the Netherlands and England, there will also be mediation in the small pot. At worst, the Netherlands will suffer a bit, but this matter can always pass, at least it can guarantee that the Netherlands will not disappear.

But the Netherlands had a conflict with Daming, and the little Poguo would never come forward to mediate, lest the little Poguo itself be wiped out.

After persuading Dandels, the French ambassador to Xiaopoguo said regretfully: "The Sand Goose has voluntarily given up Eastern Siberia and Alaska, and England has also voluntarily given up more than half of England's East Indies. Therefore, Take the initiative to give up the old port Xuanweisi, keep the other colonies, and still keep a gentleman's decency."

"For the sake of our friendship, let me advise you again. If Holland is willing to voluntarily give up the Old Port Proclamation Department, then you will be able to successfully join the Little Pot Conference this year, and your safety will be guaranteed." Guaranteed, if..."

The French ambassador to Xiaopoguo did not say anything about the latter, but Dandels can also guess that if the Netherlands is not willing to voluntarily give up the Old Port Proclamation Department, there may be one less country called the Netherlands in the world .

The Habsburg family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is a lesson from the past.

But Dandels was not reconciled, and even the tone of his speech was full of anger: "You know, the East India Company has occupied Batavia for almost 200 years! And the so-called Old Port Propaganda Department of the Ming Dynasty, It has also disappeared for more than 300 years! According to international practice, Batavia should belong to the Netherlands!"

The French ambassador to Xiaopoguo sighed and shook his head, and said: "You also said just now, according to international practice—but you must know that Daming will not recognize this so-called international practice, and France and Daming are The most steadfast allies, so..."

Dandels was even angrier in his heart, and whispered: "But this is obviously aggression!"

The French ambassador to Xiaopoguo shook his head again: "This is the Ming Dynasty taking back their territory from ancient times, not aggression. If you don't believe me, you can go to this little Poguo building and ask. You can ask any country Representative, see if this is aggression?"

Hearing such shameless remarks, Dandels couldn't help sneering, and said mockingly: "As far as I know, England, France, and the foolish eagles are all smuggling Kunlun slaves to the Ming Dynasty crazily. You don't care about Kunlun slaves at all." life and death."

"And last month, there was an earthquake in a remote place in the Ming Dynasty, but you tried every means to raise a lot of supplies for disaster relief. Even the poorest people there are richer than the knights of Europa."

"This is really a small broken pot full of love and fairness and justice."

The face of the French ambassador to Xiaopoguo finally changed a little bit, and his speaking attitude was not as friendly as before: "Danders, you must know what you are talking about—if you want the East India Company to be If you disband, you can go on talking about it."

Dandels ignored the threat of the French ambassador to Xiaopoguo, but shook his head slightly, then gave a gentleman's salute to the French ambassador to Xiaopoguo, then turned and left Xiaopoguo.

Having been in Daming for so long, Dandels knew that what the French ambassador to Xiao Poguo said was true, and also knew that Daming was an existence that must not be provoked.

However, Dandels is only an ambassador after all, and cannot influence the decision of the Dutch royal family, let alone the decision of the Bourbon family, the supreme royal family of the Dutch royal family.

Yes, the Netherlands has been destroyed by France. William I, the eldest son of the last hereditary ruler of the Netherlands, William V and Princess Frederick Sophie Wilhelmina of Prussia, is still in exile in England. The real power of the Netherlands is actually It is in the hands of the French royal family Bourbon family.

The attitude of the French representative in Xiaopoguo basically represented the attitude of the Bourbon family.

In other words, even if the Seventeenth Gentlemen's Conference is unwilling to evacuate Batavia, even if William I expresses strong opposition, it may be difficult to change the established outcome.

After sitting on the chair outside the small broken pot for a long time, Dandels finally got up and left with a helpless sigh.

Dandels still needs to go to the Honglu Temple in Ming Dynasty to save the last bit of decency for the Netherlands to withdraw from Batavia, and also to fight for the preservation of other colonies for the Netherlands.

However, to Dandels' surprise, when he came to Honglu Temple in Daming, the officials of Honglu Temple did not treat him arrogantly, but instead invited him into a room, and Honglu Temple The servants received him.

And after Dandels told his intentions, the official surnamed Liang from Honglu Temple became even more enthusiastic: "I wanted to go to you at first—although Daming and Holland have some problems with the Old Port Propaganda Division. There are some differences, but the past has passed, and both Da Ming and the Netherlands have the same goal, to maintain world peace and stability."

"I think the top priority now is to resolve the misunderstanding between us as soon as possible, and to stabilize the old port as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Dandels suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile, "Yes, I also think so, and I think the hereditary ruler William I of the Netherlands must also think so."

Liang Chen pretended to be surprised and asked: "Hereditary ruling? Isn't it His Majesty the King?"

Dandels sighed slightly, and said: "There is no His Majesty the King in the Netherlands, only hereditary execution—in addition, the Netherlands has been destroyed, and the ruling William I is still in exile in England."

Liang Chen snorted, his face full of pain: "Sorry, I don't know what happened to this, I only express my sympathy on behalf of myself and His Majesty the Emperor Ming for what happened to your country, I hope you can get back together as soon as possible." Build Holland."

Dandels nodded, and after thanking Liang Chen, he continued: "From your point of view, when would it be better to rebuild the Netherlands? As you know, the Netherlands has been applying to join the small pot, hoping to be able to Get Da Ming's guidance to contribute to world peace."

Liang Chen nodded and said, "I think, after the problem of the Habsburg family is solved, or when the next meeting of the little pot is held? You know, the world is big, and things happen every day. What kind of things will look like, and what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?"

Dandels finally felt relieved, and continued: "If possible, I hope that the Dutch East India Company can conduct business with the Old Port Propaganda Department and the Lanfang Chief Envoy?"

Liang Chen nodded again in response: "Of course, Daming never rejects friends. From my personal point of view, I also hope that the interests of the Netherlands can be guaranteed,"
