Knowing that it would be useless to talk any further, Salctor glanced at the governors and motioned for them to speak.

The weakness and concerns of the Ming court in the past gave the Western colonists an illusion, believing that the Ming Dynasty did not even dare to stand up for the slaughtered expatriates in the South Seas, so they connived at and even provoked the indigenous blood to wash the Chinese again and again, so as to achieve the goal of suppressing the Chinese forces.

But now the newly appointed Tianwu Dynasty is an ambitious hawkish force, and what is lacking is such an excuse!

Now the anti-Chinese riots in Luzon, thousands of Chinese were slaughtered, this excuse is too ideal, it can simply not be called an "excuse", and the Ming can be justified.

This is a situation that all Western colonists do not want to see, because the Ming army can occupy the whole of Luzon with the help of the Spanish anti-Chinese incident, and one day will also attack the Dutch colony in Batavia in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, and even attack the territory of the British East India Company!

Anthony, the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, straightened his newly made hairstyle a little, and said: "Respect His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, on behalf of the East India Company, I protest to you, the Ming army must not attack the city of Manila, or even occupy the whole of Luzon!" ”

The Portuguese governor also spoke out in support: "On behalf of the British East India Company, the contemptible people also protest to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon is a Spanish colony, and the Ming Dynasty cannot occupy it illegally." ”

As the closest trade partner with the Ming Dynasty, the Governor of the British East India Company, Widder, also spoke: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has always maintained respect for the South Seas and does not touch it, why do you want to invade Spanish territory now?" If you do this, you will only lose your friends. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, these white-skinned pigs, when they were in Spain to exclude China, sat on the wall one by one and watched, and did not crusade, but now that Daming is playing really, they jumped out one by one on behalf of justice.

Zhu Cihong knew that they were worried about Daming's ambitions for Nanyang, and they watched the whole drama before, also to test Daming's bottom line.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has a showdown, several European powers are in a hurry.

After all, for them, Spain, like them, was a colonial power of Europe.

And the Ming Dynasty is different, it is a big country in the East, and it is an outsider.

The Nanyang Incident, which may not seem large, can show the degree of acceptance of the great powers to the Ming Dynasty entering the Age of Discovery.

This is a demon mirror, which can show their true attitude towards Daming.

In the past ten years of the Ming Dynasty, the Tianwu New Deal has made great achievements, and the rapid recovery of science and technology, military and national strength has caught up with and surpassed the Western powers.

Faced with the abundant resources of the South Seas, the great powers feared that their cake would be snatched by the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, the cake was so big, several European powers grabbed it here, and as soon as Da Ming came, they immediately aimed all their spearheads at Da Ming.

No matter how righteous the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how evil the Spanish authorities are, they still choose to stand on the opposite side.

Zhu Cihong glanced at them and said lukewarmly: "What, are you teaching me to do things?" ”

Weddell shook his head and said: "You are the overlord of the Eastern World, as a foreign minister, I don't dare to point fingers at your decision, I just hope that Emperor Ming will not make it difficult for the East India Company." ”

"Then do you think that what I have done these days is wrong?"

Zhu Cihong showed full patience, he wanted to fight a happy war with Spain, forcibly take Luzon by force, and drive the Spanish forces out of Asia!

In the eyes of the British, Portuguese, and Dutch people, the Ming suddenly became a threat from trading partners, targeting them everywhere, and even continuously strengthening their military deployment in the South Seas.

I have to say that the pattern of these white-skinned pig governors is small.

If it was just to occupy Luzon, would it be necessary for the Ming Emperor to come to Nanyang with his troops?

This time, Zhu Cihong not only wanted to drive out the Spaniards and annex Luzon, but more importantly, he took a fancy to Spain's vast colonies in South America.

Since it is necessary to declare war on Spain, it is not only good to take Manila, Spain's colonization around the world, including the mainland of Europe, may be attacked by the Ming army!

Zhu Cihong's future plan is to build a new international order similar to the five permanent members of the Security Council, so that the Ming Dynasty can participate in world affairs and lead the world.

If you want to complete this step, you not only need strong strength, but also show a reasonable and strong demeanor!

This is also the reason why Zhu Cihong first continued to use diplomacy to solve the anti-Chinese incident and constantly persecuted Spain.

Decades ago, although the big brothers of the underworld were very irritable and arrogant, they also paid attention to the rules of the road and acted convincingly, so that they could be powerful people, and the country was even more so......

Relying entirely on wanton and unreasonable plunder, how can such a country lead the whole world? Or a bigger scheme?

Weddell thought for a moment and replied: "Your country's performance during this period is reasonable and convincing, and if the compensation can be reduced, I believe that the Luzon incident can be well resolved." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "These compensation payments are for the Chinese who were killed, and the Ming Dynasty will not keep a single copper plate, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter!" ”

Antony, the governor of the Netherlands, said: "Spain's wealth in the colonies is far from enough to pay these reparations, and your country cannot be strong, right?" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded as if he was serious, and said: "If you are really willing to coordinate and help Spain, then I have a compromise plan, in the next five years, I will impose 30% tariffs on you four countries to make up for Spain's reparations, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, the faces of several governors changed, and they shook their heads like rattles.

Anthony shouted on the spot: "What kind of joke is the Ming Emperor, why should we pay for the Spanish reparation!" ”

The governors of Great Britain and Portugal also shook their heads in opposition, saying that they would never accept it.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, since you are not willing to pay for them, then why should I pay for him?" ”

The governors of the three countries were speechless, and the Spanish governor Sack blushed.

Suddenly, he seemed to have become smarter, and went straight to the root of the problem, shouting: "This is not a matter of paying, but a matter of the amount of compensation, the compensation you set is too high, and an ordinary person is worth 10,000 silver yuan, it is simply blackmail!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "My people are so precious! In the same way, if you Spaniards are killed in a riot in my Daming, I will also compensate you with an equal amount of silver, 10,000 silver yuan per life! ”

Then, he glanced at Salctor contemptuously, and said, "It's a pity, maybe you won't have the opportunity to enjoy such treatment." ”

Salcto was surprised: "What does His Majesty the Emperor mean by this? ”

Zhu Cihong raised his hand and motioned for Xu Sheng to read out the will.

Xu Sheng held the holy decree in his hand, unfolded it with a hula, and said loudly: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor's will, from this moment on, within an hour, if Spain cannot come up with the full amount of compensation, it will be regarded as a refusal to negotiate peace!"

An hour later, I will officially declare war on the Kingdom of Spain, close all diplomatic relations, and sever all trade relations! ”
