Mr. Pete Poznan and Mr. Van Rothmaren came in accompanied by Chen Hebin.

Speaking of which, the two Dutch devils have a relationship with the Southeast Mansion, they had come to the Southeast Mansion before, ransomed the Dutch people on Dayuan Island (Tainan), and then watched the Southeast Fleet fight against Xu Xinsu, and then directly participated in the sea battle with the Southeast Fleet, and after the defeat, they fled first, and escaped.

They also tried their best to inform the Batavian authorities of the characteristics of the Southeast Fleet, and Batavia really adopted his advice, such as not giving full play to the Dutch characteristics of "side warfare" (they were good at melee combat) but using the combat method of artillery warfare, and in the first battle between the Southeast Fleet and the Netherlands in the sea battle, the number of battleships sunk by everyone was one and three, and the Dutch did not fall behind.

Unexpectedly, the cruisers of the Southeast Fleet were fast, and they made a comeback after resting and replenishing, and the Dutch suffered a big loss.

But defeat is defeat, and the people are indeed capable, so the Dutch admit it and send two gentlemen to negotiate peace.

In fact, they don't want to come, doing this bird errand is fed up with the anger of those yellow-skinned monkeys (white people's contemptuous name for yellow people), super unpleasant!

However, Batavia said that you two gentlemen are not familiar with the Southeast Mansion, and who else can you go if you don't go?

The two gentlemen reluctantly arrived at the Southeast Mansion, and after sitting down, they were unceremoniously asked by Chen Xinji: "Have you brought enough silver?" ”

He didn't need to give them face at all, everyone was hostile, and we fought again.

Chen Hebin understands Dutch and can be translated.

The faces of the two red-haired devils changed color, and they felt even more humiliated.

Holding back his anger and saying: "We are willing to pay a hundred silver dollars per person to redeem our people's ......" (the transaction price of the people of Oyuan Island)

Chen Hebin told Chen Xinji: "One hundred silver dollars to redeem a Dutchman!" ”

"Tell them that it was five hundred silver dollars to ransom a Dutchman!" Chen Xinji turned his back to the sky and sat back in his place, extremely arrogant!

Scare!

Hearing Chen Hebin's words, the two Dutch gentlemen had an idea: "Can we sell you for a Dutchman's unit price of 450 silver dollars?" Large quantities are preferred! ”

Of course, after thinking about it, they counteroffered: "One hundred and twenty ......."

"One hundred and twenty!" Chen Hebin said to Chen Zhenji.

"Tell them that they don't have to talk about it, and that they are going to show them the Dutch people who are digging coal!" Chen Xinji was straightforward.

Chen Hebin talked about digging coal, and the two Dutch gentlemen were depressed!

Can you not mention digging coal?

Earlier, they couldn't talk about it, so the Ming led them to visit the Dutch prisoners of war who were digging coal...... The prisoners of war volunteered to dig, did not dig coal, and could not sleep at night!

Hungry and awake, if they don't dig coal, the Ming people give the Dutch prisoners of war two meals a day...... Sweet potato porridge, plus a little stinky salted fish and vegetable leaves, are all thin, for the tall red hair of the cow is starving, hungry faint and hungry to wake up!

Later, when they returned to Batavia, the Dutch man spoke of a nightmare in the days when he refused to give in at first, and almost thought he had not woken up.

They have eaten boiled rats, cat legs, lizards and locusts, and scorpions, and think the best thing is snakes, just like the Cantonese people in the Ming Dynasty, who claim to be four-legged except for the bench, two-legged except for the living, flying in the sky except for flies, swimming in the water except for boats, everything else is not a problem, they imagine the food at home: roast chicken with gravy, charcoal barbecue steak, grilled half raw and half eaten and the size of a palm, They wake up hungry when they imagine themselves slicing the steak piece by piece!

When everything in the camp was gone, they had to dig coal.

Participating in coal digging is full, eating dry food, although tired, at least will not wake up in the middle of the night, hungry to the point of starring.

Shame on you!

The two Dutch gentlemen shook their heads with a wry smile, how dare they look at the Dutch digging coal, trying to persuade these hateful Ming men to lower the price.

Playing the friendship card: We are destined to meet thousands of miles away, why should we fight to the death, isn't it better to do business well.

"You crossed the sea to fight us!" Chen Xinji shook it off with a word.

"But the first time (Dayuan Island) was the first time you went to war!" Mr. Van Roth Mullen was unconvinced.

"That's why you're blackmailing us!" Chen Xinji replied.

"But you also recognized our rule at that time, we collected taxes, and you paid taxes!" Mr. Van Roesmaren calmly recounted the facts. (At the beginning, the southeast province was weak, there was no more than one hair, the Dutch had already occupied Tainan, they had a five-class cruiser at that time, and the southeast province only sent a small person to collect taxes, and the southeast province gave it)

"Paying taxes is done by temporary workers, it's none of our business!" Chen Xinji pushed two clean and authentic.

"What?"

"Temporary?"

Seeing that they did not understand, Chen Hebin kindly informed them of the concept of "temporary workers".

After understanding, the two gentlemen were surprised, saying that a wise person knows books and etiquette, and it is the first time that such a brazen Ming person has seen him.

I had to play the sad card: how can you bear to let the prisoners of war separate their flesh and blood? Their wives and children are waiting for them!

Then cry poor, we are also poor, there are 1,163 prisoners of war (of which 651 are Hongmaofan, the rest are indigenous, Persian, Indian, black, etc.), if 500 silver dollars a person, then it will cost 300,000 silver dollars (not redeemed non-Hongmaofan), and our annual profit is less than 100,000 silver dollars!

After hearing their plea, Chen Xinji thought about it and said: "One price, two hundred and fifty thousand silver dollars!" ”

No matter how much you begged, it was useless, the two sides agreed to redeem all the Hongmao prisoners of war with 250,000 silver dollars, and the rest were abandoned!

Those people have never been too many slave miners in the southeastern province, and they have been mining for ten years anyway, and they will be sent back to Batavia as soon as they want to sign a contract.

……

The two gentlemen talked about the second thing, they resumed trade relations with the Southeast Province and the matter of using the Southeast Province to trade with the Japanese Kingdom.

That's no problem, no one will have trouble with money, and neither will Southeast Mansion.

The price has risen, "three thousand ......," Chen Xinji said.

"Three thousand silver dollars!" Mr. Pete Poznan picked up.

"No, three thousand taels of silver!" Chen Xinji smiled, his smile was very hateful.

Three thousand taels of silver, you might as well grab it!

It's easy to say, Chen Xinji refuses to reduce the price, he will come if he loves it, and he won't pull it down!

In the end, the Dutch pinched their noses and confessed, and each Dutch ship (with tonnage restrictions) that traded in the southeast province paid an annual fee of 3,000 taels of silver to the southeast province.

What makes them talk about ** is that the price will be raised across the board, and all the red-haired boats will have to pay an annual fee of three thousand taels of silver! (The annual fee for cargo ships of other Ming people is 2,000 silver dollars, unchanged)

……

When the agreement was reached, Chen Xinji and Chen Hebin smiled, while Mr. Pete Poznan and Mr. Van Roosmaren tightened their faces and secretly and silently swore to God: Today's disgrace will be rewarded tomorrow! Prepare for war, you must fight the Trans-Southeast Fleet!

How can my Dutchman's money be so easy to take!

……

Don't look at how much you earn, but you also spend a lot, and soon, Yan Changwu is ready to spend a lot of money!

His fleet at that time was training in the Penghu area, and Kaohsiung sent a clipper to come to the door to say that there was a happy event at home, and quickly returned to Kaohsiung, Yan Changwu said unhappily: "Who did you sell me to this time?" ”
