The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 195
Just after Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong returned to Luzon City, a secretary came to report to Zhu Hongyu.

"Governor, Batavia's red hair has sent someone to ask to see the governor and the prince!"

Zhu Hongyu sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked.

"Where are people now?"

The secretary spoke up.

"People are still in the port, just landed!"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong and the Dutch were still in a war relationship. Out of respect, Zhu Hongyu felt that he had to consider Zheng Chenggong's attitude whether he wanted to meet the Dutch envoy.

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly and said.

"Bring people in!"

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and said.

"Invite people to the flower hall, the king and I will wait for them here!"

The secretary nodded his promise, and then backed out.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Does Lao Taishan have any guesses about the Dutchman's intention?"

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile on his face.

"It should be to continue doing business with me, Daming!"

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Old Tarzan has just won the big officials and expelled the Dutch. Can Batavia swallow this breath?"

"Aren't you going to send troops to try?"

Zheng Chenggong spoke.

"Not the Netherlands, but the Dutch East India Company!"

Zhu Hongyu slapped his head, and suddenly realized that his own thinking was narrow.

The Dutch East India Company is really regarded as a regime!

If the Dutch East India Company was a normal regime, facing the loss of cities and land, it would face enemies who robbed its territory.

If the two parties want to do business, even if it is profitable, they will definitely have to be awkward for a while and do their own ideological work before they can change their thinking.

It's like Ming wanted to conquer Macau and do business with the Manchus in Macau. If the strength gap between the two sides was not too great, the Ming army would not be able to counterattack the mainland in a short time.

It took Zhu Hongyu a long time just to do his own ideological work.

However, the Dutch East India Company is a commercial company to put it bluntly, and everything is for profit.

For them, it's the real money making, don't be fooled!

……

Before Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong had to wait long, the Dutch envoys arrived.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with red hair and good looks in a tuxedo.

"Sirolai, a staff member of the Dutch East India Company, has met the Governor General and Your Excellency the County King!"

Sirole bowed and bowed, his movements were meticulous, and he looked like a polite gentleman.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Please sit down!"

When Xi Luolai sat down, Zhu Hongyu didn't speak, but Zheng Chenggong did.

"Why did the envoy come to Luzon?"

Xi Luolai looked at Zheng Chenggong and said.

"For the affairs of the senior staff!"

"Your Excellency the King of the County captured the officials for no reason, captured the city of Zeelandia, which our East India Company painstakingly built, and killed thousands of Dutch soldiers and civilians."

"This is an unacceptable thing for Batavia!"

"Your Excellency, please give Batavia an explanation and make compensation for this matter!"

Before Zheng Chenggong could speak, Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.

"I, Ming Dynasty, regained my homeland, do I still need a reason?"

"My Daming didn't care about it. When the Dutch invaded Dayuan Island and invaded our Daming territory, Yanping County Wang Wang was already lenient. How dare you come to Luzon and make trouble in front of the Governor?!"

When Sirolai heard this, his face was ugly, and he retorted.

"Isn't the homeland of your Ming army in the northern continent? Why don't you go to the north to recover your homeland? Is it to see that our Dutch East India Company is weak?"

Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.

"So what?"

Sirole spoke again.

"Aren't you afraid that we will learn from the Spaniards and attack the Han people living in Batavia?"

Zhu Hongyu's eyes turned cold quickly, and he spoke.

"You can try!"

"If you dare to kill a Han citizen, the governor will kill you back ten times and a hundred times!"

"Thought that the Spaniards massacred the Han people twice in Luzon, and I, Ming, only liquidated the Spaniards in Manila, so this matter is over?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, it's very early, this matter is endless!!"

"From now on, don't think about the big triangle trade of the Spaniards!"

"Spain's galleon fleet passed one of our Da Ming's waters, and my Da Ming will sink one of them!"

"If you Dutch dare to attack the Han people, the governor will send troops to recover Batavia!"

"Then kill all the Dutch in Batavia for revenge!"

After Zhu Hongyu sang the bad face, Zheng Chenggong stood up and sang the red face and said.

"Haha, no need for this, no need for this!"

"Only barbarians like the Spaniards who don't know the king and don't know etiquette will do things like massacre civilians!"

"I think the Dutch East India Company, as an honest and friendly company, would never do such a barbaric thing!"

The expression on Sirole's face changed several times, and finally he gave a dry laugh and said.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke is right!"

"Our Netherlands is a country of merchants. Integrity and friendliness are our qualities. Of course, we will not learn from the Spanish barbarians and do things like massacre civilians."

Zhu Hongyu snorted coldly, and said nothing more, but picked up the teacup and quietly watched Zheng Chenggong negotiate with the Dutchman.

During this meeting with the Dutch envoy, the reason why Zhu Hongyu chose to play a bad face was due to his own considerations.

One is to help Zheng Chenggong put pressure on the Dutch!
The second is to divert the attention of the Dutch!

It was Zheng Chenggong who recovered the senior officials, and the relationship between the Dutch and Zheng Chenggong must be very bad.

In case the two sides meet and pinch each other, then there is no need to talk about the next negotiation!

And Zhu Hongyu's singing of "bad face" is to give Zheng Chenggong and the Dutch a step down.

He gave the Dutch an embarrassment, Zheng Chenggong acted as a peacemaker, the relationship between the two parties eased, and then there was talk.

……

It is said to be a negotiation, but in fact nothing can be discussed.

It is impossible for Zheng Chenggong to give up Dayuan Island, which is his foundation, just like it is impossible for Zhu Hongyu to give up Luzon.

It is also impossible for the Dutch to forget about Zeelandia.

One is that after the city of Zeelandia disappeared, the Dutch lost their strongholds along the coast of China, and their commercial interests plummeted.

The second is that in the offensive and defensive battles before and after, most of the Dutch in Zeelandia were killed or injured.

The reason for the negotiation is at most to talk about the resumption of trade, and the two sides temporarily negotiate to stop hostilities.

Can't talk about other things!
Daming has related plans to attack Batavia, but the attack on Qiongzhou is more important, so it has been put on hold for the time being.

The Dutch also began to collude with Man Qing, preparing to help Man Qing rebuild the navy to deal with Daming.

To put it bluntly, both sides are afraid of each other!

Ming is afraid of the huge armed merchant fleet of the Dutch, how can the Dutch not be afraid of Ming's navy?
You must know that the reason why the Zheng family was able to ascend to the position of the East Asian maritime hegemony was that they stepped on the Dutch.

What's more, the annihilation of the Spanish fleet in Luzon is still in sight!
