Borrow the day to change the day

First of all, the [-]-mile express report to the capital was that the joint fleet of Hongyi and Pirates appeared from Wusongkou, burned, killed and looted along the way, and headed for the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The few inland warships on the Yangtze River were no match for the United Fleet at all.

And the guard army along the river, a pair of pirates and the Red Barbarian coalition army that landed, are also collapsing at the first touch.

The Jiangnan area panicked and fled the area along the river one after another. The combat power of the Western Bandits was even stronger than that of the Japanese Bandits back then.

Emperor Chongzhen paled in shock and hastily summoned the six ministries of the cabinet to discuss.However, after discussions and discussions, until the early morning of the next day, they discussed all night, but did not come up with an effective countermeasure.

Because of the forbidden sea for many years, Daming has no decent navy at all.Since Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north, the military equipment in the south of the Yangtze River has been relaxed again, and there is no strong army that can fight at all.

At this time, many people even began to miss the Ming Fleet in Chengzu's time.At that time, the Daming Navy was overwhelming.On the sea, there are all the sailors of Ming Dynasty.All the way to the extreme west, the Daming Navy has the final say.It would be like today, being driven into the Yangtze River by Xiyi, but no navy could be found to resist.

The monarchs and ministers in the Wenhua Palace all had red eyes. Although they were exhausted, no one dared to ask for an adjournment.

"Your Majesty, bring Zhongxing Hou back!" Yang He, Minister of the Ministry of War, was under great pressure and had no choice but to suggest to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen had actually thought about this a long time ago, but at this time Marquis Zhongxing went to Liaodong and was fighting Jianlu, so he couldn't quench his thirst far away.

Besides, the new army led by Zhongxing Hou is just an army, and he is afraid that he will be helpless against the Xiyi fleet rampant on the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen extinguished this idea.Now that the minister of the Ministry of War has brought it up again, and even attracted the second opinion of several courtiers in the hall, I can't help thinking about it again.

"Your Majesty, Xiyi's firearms are sharp, and the troops of the guards on both sides of the strait are invincible. If the new army of Marquis Zhongxing is there, at least the Xiyi cannot come to the shore to poison the people. This is currently the only way to do it. Your Majesty, please think twice. "Yang He continued to suggest.

Wen Tiren had a different opinion, and he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongxing may have launched a war at this time. Although the new army of Marquis Zhongxing is powerful, the main force of Jianlu is not made of mud. Can Marquis Zhongxing It is not yet known whether the battle will be won. This is a chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and the barbarians in the west, and I think you can't place your hopes on the Marquis of Zhongxing."

Emperor Chongzhen heard that what the two courtiers said made sense, but he couldn't make a choice for a while.The other ministers in the Wenhua Palace were also divided into two factions, each supporting two viewpoints, and debated endlessly.

Until the evening, some older civil servants couldn't hold on anymore.When Emperor Chongzhen saw these people sitting on the rewarded stools with their heads under the stools, he had no choice but to adopt a helpless method.

Order the provinces along the Yangtze River to send troops to reinforce both sides of the Yangtze River, and make sure that the Xiyi and pirates are not allowed to go ashore.We can only hope that these Xiyi will retreat on their own after seeing that they cannot go ashore.

However, the imperial decree has not yet left the capital, and the eight hundred li express delivery has arrived again.

The joint fleet of Xiyi and Pirates attacked Nanjing. Although they failed to capture it, they poisoned the villages around Nanjing.Several armies around Nanjing City were defeated by the Xiyi and the pirates, and they couldn't stop the Xiyi and the pirates from going ashore at all.

The next day, the [-]-mile express delivery was delivered to Emperor Chongzhen again.Xiyi and pirates captured Zhenjiang and blocked the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.This time the request was passed on to Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he was so angry that he flew into a rage on the spot.When did Daming let someone threaten him like this!If I agree to Xiyi's request, will I still be able to meet my ancestors in the future!

This urgent delivery with Xiyi's request spread to every courtier in the palace, without exception, all the courtiers were filled with righteous indignation, even if only women and children were left after the war, they could not agree to the unreasonable demands of the barbarians.

Even those civil servants who were afraid of Xiyi's combat power and wanted peace talks in their hearts did not dare to show such thoughts on their faces, because Xiyi's conditions were too degrading and humiliating for Daming.

There are four requirements of Naxiyi as follows:

[-]. Cut a large island under Xin'an County to the Dutch Empire.Although Hong Kong in later generations is still a deserted island and uninhabited, this is a territorial dispute. There has never been such a precedent in Ming Dynasty. No one can bear the responsibility of bereavement, including Emperor Chongzhen.

Second, the Dutch Empire demanded that Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai be opened as treaty ports, allowing the Dutch to set up consulates in the treaty ports.

There is a special explanation in the urgent report that this consulate is equivalent to a country within a state, and Ming no longer has jurisdiction over the location of this consulate.How could the scholar-officials of Ming Dynasty accept such a request!

Third, Ming Dynasty paid 100 million taels of silver to the Dutch Empire to compensate for the previous damages Daming did to the Dutch Empire.If you can't afford so much money for a while, the Dutch Empire can collect taxes on imported and exported goods on your behalf until the compensation is paid.

Daming's annual treasury income is only more than 200 million taels of silver, and this is just so much demand for compensation.I really don't know how Xiyi proposed this amount of compensation. Is Daming really their place of withdrawal?

Fourth, the Dutch Empire is allowed to be the sole agent of Ming's import and export goods. All goods entering or leaving Ming without the hands of Dutch Empire merchants will be regarded as smuggling, and they will be severely punished if caught.

"Your Majesty, Xiyi is so arrogant that he treats me as nothing. Even if Daming has no army, this old bone minister will go to the battlefield and swear to the death that he will not compromise with Xiyi." Wen Tiren was the first to express his opinion.

"Yes, whoever dares to compromise, the old man will drown him with his saliva."

"There is also this old man, who also used this old life to fight against traitors."

"..."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were red. Since he ascended the throne, even if the Jian captives attacked the city, he had never felt such a sense of humiliation.

He slapped the imperial table suddenly, interrupting the statement of the servants below, and shouted angrily: "I want a countermeasure!"

Wenhua Hall was quiet for a while, and finally Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, I can't control too much now, please call Zhongxing Hou back quickly. In addition, order troops from all over the world to gather in Zhenjiang and take back Zhenjiang. One more thing, let Macao The Portuguese barbarians also sent troops to attack the red barbarians."

Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't control so much anymore, and immediately played one by one, and the imperial edict was immediately sent to the southeast, northwest, and north of Ming Dynasty.

This slap in the face of the Dutch deeply irritated the officials and common people of Ming Dynasty.The sense of superiority of being a heavenly kingdom was directly trampled on the ground.

Since then, there has been a general consensus in Ming Dynasty that they can do business with other countries, but the Dutch cannot.For the pirates who aided the evil this time, Ling Chi was caught, and he was treated the same as the traitors who worked for Jianlu.
