For Sun Chuanting, he didn't care about anything else but the war in Liaodong.
Emperor Chongzhen discussed with him, and he naturally thought of the Liaodong war.
After thinking for a moment, he reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Dongjiang General Soldier is under the greatest pressure now. If these Dutch people can reduce some of the pressure on the Dongjiang General Soldier, I think it is worth letting them do it.
!”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately thought about these aspects in his mind, but then he shook his head and said: "Although I can ask these Dutch people to send problematic firearms and poisonous food, but the most basic point is
, these Dutch are all sailboats, and there are currently no sailboats in the capital. The few sailboats captured are all in the Luzon Expeditionary Force."
That is to say, if the Dutch used a lucky ship to send things to Jianlu, it would not conform to the logic of the normal Dutch. It was also a credit to Emperor Chongzhen and Liu Weichao that they talked a lot, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know such details.
.
Sun Chuanting was the same. He didn't know much about the Western Barbarians and had never even thought about poisonous food. At this time, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he thought for a while and suggested: "Then we can let these Dutch people live in Japan."
When we respond internally, will you provide us with information about Japan?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment, nodded immediately and said, "This is okay. Is there anything else?"
Sun Chuanting thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We are stupid and can't think of anything else for the time being."
After hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen was slightly disappointed. When he was about to speak, suddenly, the eunuch on duty next to him happened to be Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He opened his mouth and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live the Lord, since this Dutchman wants to do something for you."
I am used by the Ming Dynasty, and so is the Portuguese, and they all happened to participate in the Annan turmoil. In this case, they can be ordered to assist the court in quelling the Annan turmoil!"
As soon as he said these words, Sun Chuanting was confused. However, Emperor Chongzhen slapped his forehead and remembered this matter. He immediately pointed his finger at Wang Chengen with a smile and said: "I'd better remember, my dear friend, okay, okay, this is a good idea!"
"I remember the world map of Lord Long Live in my heart. When Lord Long Live mentioned it, I just remembered it." After hearing this, Wang Chengen quickly played back, making Emperor Chongzhen laugh.
He was not wrong about this. The situation in Annan was a dispute between the North and the South, and the Portuguese and the Dutch happened to support one side.
This matter was actually mentioned by Liu Weichao when he introduced the situation, and it was not news from Dongchang. When Emperor Chongzhen marked the various forces on the world map, Wang Chengen could naturally see it. Therefore, he made this suggestion
.
At this time, upon Wang Chengen's suggestion, he ordered Wang Chengen to immediately hang the world map on the screen and discuss matters based on the world map.
In the past, Sun Chuanting's gaze was really not that far-reaching. Now that he was compared with Wang Chengen, he felt a little awe-inspiring. He immediately warned himself that the Ming Dynasty today is no longer the Ming Dynasty before, and it is time to open his eyes and see the world!
Thinking like this, he became serious and looked at the power distribution map on the world map. At the same time, he also thought that he should do his homework well after returning and understand the situation around the world.
After looking at the map, the distribution of forces around the world is really clear. Among them, there are quite a few Dutch colonial territories, extending all the way from Europe.
Sun Chuanting did not understand the world situation, but his mind was still very flexible. After taking a look, he immediately reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think that the Netherlands and France... Portugal can indeed do it.
By using it, we can shorten the time for our Ming Dynasty to expand its territory!"
Afterwards, the three of them discussed the world map for a while and came to a conclusion.
Emperor Chongzhen did not go to see these Dutch prisoners in person, but informed them of the Ming Dynasty's requirements through the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments.
First, the Netherlands recognized the Ming Dynasty as its suzerain state, and its consuls must be canonized by the Ming Emperor before they can take office, otherwise they will be invalid.
Second, as the sovereign state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had the right to recruit Dutch troops to serve the Ming Dynasty, and the Netherlands could not refuse.
Third, the Netherlands has the obligation to protect the Ming Dynasty overseas Ming Dynasty without any injustice.
After hearing these three items, Kui Yi and others looked at each other and were all dumbfounded.
Although they had been in the East for a long time, they knew that these three items were basic requirements for the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. However, they still felt emotionally unacceptable for the Netherlands to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Because they have always believed that Easterners are inferior to them, and it is most normal for them to be colonized by them.
It was also based on this understanding that as soon as they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they aggressively demanded trade, otherwise they would fight you. It was a pity that Zheng Zhilong happened to rise, and Zheng Zhilong relied on the court to teach him a lesson.
But even so, they were actually unconvinced. They felt that the reason why they couldn't beat Zheng Zhilong was just because Zheng Zhilong was a local snake. Generally speaking, they still felt that they were stronger than the Orientals.
Now, although they have become prisoners of Ming Dynasty, they still feel that it is because Ming Dynasty has more people and ships. If the number of people is the same, they may not lose.
Under such psychological expectations, it is naturally a bit difficult to accept that they should be inferior to Daming.
Not to mention, they couldn't decide on this matter at all.
Therefore, after the announcement was made by the Minister of Rites, all the Dutch people looked at each other, and no one answered.
The Minister of Rites did not urge them to express their stance, but continued to announce: "The Ming Dynasty will open up foreign trade. As long as it is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it can trade in places designated by the imperial court. Pay with one hand, deliver the goods with the other, as long as the money
If there is enough, there will be enough goods, there is no limit!”
As soon as he heard this, Kui Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The object they most wanted to trade with was originally the Ming Dynasty. Now that they have seen the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty with their own eyes, their desire for trade is naturally more urgent. You can think with your toes how much money they can make if they can trade with the Ming Dynasty.
!
The Netherlands is actually a country of commerce. To put it simply, it is a country where a group of businessmen make the decisions. They take money very seriously. How important is it?
To the extent that you can betray your country!
This is not an exaggeration. In the original history, after the rise of the Netherlands, the rise of the United Kingdom followed closely, and the two countries began a war for maritime hegemony, which was the Anglo-Dutch War.
In this war, the Dutch actually had the upper hand at the beginning. Guess what happened?
The British had no money to fight. They were going to lose because they had no money to fight anymore. As a result, the British borrowed money from the Netherlands and continued to fight the Netherlands.
This unbelievable thing seems impossible when you think about it, right?
As a result, the Netherlands really borrowed it!
In the end, the British used the Dutch money to defeat the Dutch. It was so incredible!
This shows how greedy they are for money!
At this time, when these Dutch people heard that they could do business with the Ming Dynasty, they were immediately excited.
At this moment, the Minister of Rites continued: "If the vassal state is attacked by other countries, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain state, will also consider sending troops. In short, if the Netherlands is recognized as the suzerain state, then the Ming Dynasty will protect the vassal state!"
The Dutch were already excited. To be honest, they didn't pay much attention when they heard this. After all, the Netherlands is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Netherlands was attacked by the enemy and needed help from the overlord country, when the overlord country rushed over,
The day lilies are cold.
But, no matter what, this is also a reason for the Netherlands to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!
The Dutch looked at each other and focused their attention on Kui Yi. Although they also knew that Kui Yi had no right to agree, no matter what, it was still their head, and they hoped that Kui Yi could express his position.
Seeing their reluctance, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice next to him sneered and said: "If you don't drink a toast or eat a fine wine, just because they have a rebel alliance with the Ming Dynasty, I can kill you first, and then go and destroy that bad Bada."
Via, in the future, anyone who is an enemy of the Ming Dynasty will destroy the country! Even though the Netherlands is far away, they will be punished!"
What he didn't expect was that Kuiyi ignored these threats at all, and just looked at the Minister of Rites and asked: "My lord, may I ask, if it is really a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it can have the power of trade without restrictions.
What? As far as I know, it was very difficult for vassal countries to do business with the Ming Dynasty in the past!"
After hearing what the translator conveyed, the Minister of Rites replied: "Your Majesty is wise and has changed his foreign policy. In the future, he will vigorously develop maritime trade, which is very different from before."
After a pause, he added: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty or not. It's just that your majesty is kind and gives you a chance. On the Portuguese side, your majesty thinks that they have always been more obedient and will inform them in the near future.
, can be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."
When Kuiyi and others heard that the Ming Dynasty would vigorously develop maritime trade, it would be all about money! When they heard that the Portuguese would enjoy such treatment, they immediately became anxious.
Ting Kuiyi quickly asked: "Sir, if we in the Netherlands are willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, can we not use the Portuguese to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?"
Needless to say, he wants to have a monopoly.
As for the answer, of course it is impossible.
At this time, Kui Yi became anxious. If the Dutch did not agree, then the Portuguese would have a monopoly on the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, and all the money would be earned by the Portuguese. How could this be allowed?
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also said that if the Portuguese were attacked, the Ming army would also help. Then at least around the Ming Dynasty, they would never be able to rob the Portuguese.
At this time, the Dutch were all trying to grab Portuguese colonies in Brazil, Sri Lanka and other places, and the two sides were fighting.
