The Zhenghe agreement was finally signed.

The Dutch admitted that Dayuan belonged to the Zheng clan, and were willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver as a ransom to ransom all the prisoners of Dayuan in the First World War.

At the same time, another 100,000 taels of silver were paid as war reparations.

Zheng He trade continued, and the trading place was set in Dayuan, just in Tainan. The Zheng family would set aside an area as a trade area, and merchants on both sides could trade freely. The Dutch merchant ships could also use this as a transit point, and through Zheng's sphere of influence, they could trade with Japan normally.

At the same time, the Dutch East India Company also made a promise that it would not have any dealings with the Manchus without Zheng's permission, let alone sell military supplies such as guns and gunpowder to the Manchus.

The Dutch would have hoped to be remedied by the judiciary, but Zheng Zhilong would not give them face.

Therefore, Fanosini's face was ugly when the agreement was signed, and as a senior commercial representative of the East India Company, this agreement made him feel humiliated.

In his heart, he said ruthlessly that when he returned to Batavia, he immediately began to send guns to the Tatars in the north, but he could only greet Zheng Hongkui with a smile.

The muskets in the hands of the Chinese were on the company's head, and they had to agree. Otherwise, the severance of trade with Japan would deal another blow to the Far Eastern Division, which had suffered heavy losses.

Without the big guys and the loss of Japan, the company's interests in the East will not be enough to satisfy its stomach.

Then the seventeen distinguished gentlemen of Amsterdam would have eaten every one of them without dipping in sauce.

So, a new state is a new state.

The Chinese suddenly entered the hinterland of the South Seas, and the company naturally felt a huge threat, but what about the indigenous countries? How will they react? Thinking about it, Nosini grinned in his heart, and he believed that Anthony must have been making a move.

Just three years earlier, the Dutch had driven out the Portuguese and seized the city of Malacca, which had led to a sharp deterioration in relations with the Kingdom of Johor, but had undoubtedly deepened Dutch influence in the Malay Peninsula.

The powerful kingdom of Aceh has caused instability in its own rule because of the appearance of Nusudan, and the civil strife is not enough, but the majesty of the central power is definitely weakened.

Batavia has been planning to divide the Kingdom of Aceh in the past two years, at least to separate the areas of Pahang, Kedah, Perak, Nias Island and Indalapurapura on the Malay Peninsula from Sumatra (the main body of the Kingdom of Aceh).

Of course, the presence of Chinese in the hinterland of the South Seas will also make Batavia reconsider its relationship with the Kingdom of Johor, and Fanosini believes that the Sudan of Johor will definitely reconsider his relationship with Batavia.

Originally, Malacca was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but now it has become a four-nation struggle for hegemony, and the impact is great.

But Fanosini did not believe that the Chinese could win a 'victory' in the South Seas. The latter is a completely unfamiliar environment for the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong has no friendship with those native kings, how can they win the victory with the company?

Fanosini thought of this, and the smile on his face bloomed even more.

Zheng Hongkui didn't think much about it at all, the agreement between the two sides was reached, and the Zheng family could always relieve the military affairs on one side. And then it depends on the Zheng family's means of running Nanyang.

Don't look at Zheng Hongkui, who didn't pay attention to too many things in Nanyang earlier, but he is full of confidence in the Zheng family's business in Nanyang.

Zheng Zhilong asked for the official position of "Nanyang Propaganda Envoy" from Emperor Chongzhen, which must have aroused the long-sealed memories of many earth kings.

Although the word "old port" has changed to "Nanyang", everyone can understand the meaning.

What's more, the current Nanyang land countries are trembling and trembling under the front of Xiyi's troops, and the day is precarious - after Spain completely conquered Luzon, even Japan believed that the armies of Spain and Portugal would come across the sea, which was also a major reason why Japan closed off the country.

Now, China's time-honored security companies have put up a protective umbrella, will they still come to invest?

The kingdom of Aceh is just that, at the peak of the country's power, although the appearance of the female Sudan has shaken the situation of Aceh, it is obviously not someone else who dares to provoke it in a short period of time.

Not to mention the declining Angkor and the divided Annam, the other two great powers on the Indochina Peninsula, Myanmar and Siam, have ended years of fighting each other and are now recuperating. Whether it was King Tharong of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma or King Pasethong of Siam, the two Buddhist countries were in a situation where there was no morale for foreign wars, the social productive forces of the two countries were restored and developed, and culture and art flourished.

Luzon is finished, and the rest of the mud and Sulu are terrified by the Europeans. Since the Portuguese and the Spanish entered East Asia, the Dutch and the British have come to find them.

It's like Pattani on the Malay Peninsula. It's like a public toilet, and anyone can use it.

Like the British, their first foothold in East Asia was Pattani, then they inserted themselves into the Spice Islands, and finally tried to get their hands on the coast of China and Japan, only to be kicked away by the Dutch. He abandoned all the trading houses in East Asia and concentrated his efforts on retracting Tianzhu in exchange for a share of the Zhenghe trade.

Now that China's long-established security company with a very good reputation has opened, will it still be sad that people will not come?

Look at waiting for a year or two, the Zheng family will not give Emperor Chongzhen a play for a while, "all nations come to court"!

"The most troublesome thing is the Malay Peninsula." Zheng Zhilong dropped the information in his hand, and several of the thirteen Malay states in later generations have now revealed their prototypes. Like Johor, like Kedah, like Pahang, like Perak......

But the current Johor is certainly not the Johor of the 21st century, and the current people are still a country, and the King of Johor, Abdul Charisha, also took advantage of the withdrawal of the Portuguese from the Malay Peninsula to make his country have a certain revival.

Had it not been for the increasing pressure on the Dutch lately, he would not have let Temasek out for nothing.

What about Pahang? In just half a century, it has been attacked and occupied by Aceh, Johor, Portuguese and Dutch, and it is now difficult to find a person from the local nobility who has the Pahang royal family. But the geographical location is very important, it is in the center of the whole peninsula, Zheng Zhilong obviously can't sit back and let it be controlled by the Dutch, and of course the Johoreans can't!

The next Perak, Kedah, etc., all had their own troubles. Or it has something to do with Aceh, or it has a relationship with Johor and the Dutch.

If Zheng Zhilong accepts everyone, these indigenous countries on the Malay Peninsula will not show anything on their faces, and they don't know how they will curse him behind their backs.

Because Zheng Zhilong needs the next Nanyang princely state to be completely 'peaceful', this definition of Nanyang is just Zheng Jun's backyard, so Zheng Zhilong will not think much about them. Such an act will inevitably conform to the wishes of some people, and will displease others.

Just like Abdul Charisa in Johor.

Finally, the Portuguese got out, the Dutch had just arrived, and he didn't take the opportunity to expand his territory, but when? And he is already very 'benevolent and righteous' to the Zheng family, Temasek has let it out, are you still embarrassed to let him continue to nest?

……

Zheng Zhilong shrank in his lair to study the situation in the South Seas, and in distant Malacca, several Galen ships also sailed through Malacca and were slowly heading towards the waters of Xinzhou.

The first is a well-dressed middle-aged man, looking at the endless sea ahead. He asked a few people around him, "Captain Joseph, how long do we have to sail to reach NSW?" I can't wait to see it. "The Chinese actually signed a contract with them in Batavia to buy cotton and saltpeter from Tianzhu for a long time.

In Mumbai, he couldn't believe his vision when he first saw the contract, and then he came with his own boat. (Mumbai was not the territory of the British at this time, in this case it refers to their merchants.)

Exchanging Indian cotton and saltpeter for Chinese silk and porcelain is simply a beautiful deal. Unfortunately, there is a serious inequality of value between the two.

A large bag of sturdy cotton may not be able to exchange it for a piece of silk, or a piece of high-grade white porcelain.

For this purpose, Boris Johnson also brought with him a large amount of silver, as well as some ivory and precious stones. Then in Malacca, he received word that he could go directly to New South Wales with his boat.

"Mr. Johnson, if the wind doesn't change, we can be there this afternoon. It's windy on deck, so let's go back to the cabin. ”

Johnson smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, Captain Joseph." But it doesn't matter, I want to stand here for a while. NSW, China, we finally see hope, don't we? ”

The people around him laughed.

Johnson was poured into the sea breeze, but the flush on his face did not fade at all. “…… Gentlemen, let us also hold back our excitement for a while, after all, we haven't arrived in New South Wales, and we haven't met the esteemed Mr. Chen Mingwen, haven't we? ”

"Yes, Mr. Johnson. You say a lot. But I still want to say that I hope that gentleman does not disappoint me, we have come with great expectations. Otherwise, I suggest that the Chinese get a good taste of our anger. A tall attaché said, waving his powerful fist.

"I don't know if this so-called new state is half the size of Bombay Island." Mumbai Island is one of the seven islands of Mumbai, and the seven small islands are the location of Mumbai in later generations. In 1782, the British began to reclaim seven small islands in Mumbai, which later became a large island. It is now the city of Old Mumbai, which is the wealthiest region in India and the commercial hub of India. Since the merger of the seven islands since the 20th century, the area is 70 square kilometers.

"Hahahaha......"

The few well-dressed and decent people on the deck all laughed, the mysterious East, the rich East, although they had heard many, many stories, but in the eyes of these individuals, the stories were too absurd, and they would not express their respect unless they saw the truth with their own eyes.

You know, just six years ago, they fought a battle with the Ming army. John Weddell returned to Tianzhu and boasted about his victory, as well as the cowardice and stupidity of the Ming people, as for what the real situation was, few people knew, and no one cared now.

Boris Johnson doesn't know, because he was still in London six years ago.

Only Captain Joseph next to him frowned, and secretly despised in his heart, these arrogant guys, have they forgotten the defeat of the Dutch?

As for Weddell's victory, he had already heard through his ears. But whether it's true or not, he doesn't think he needs to think about it.

The Dutch, desperate to cut off the British from the Chinese Sea, would allow Weddell to swagger and lead six armed merchant ships to Macao?

Moreover, Weddell also led armed merchant ships to fight with the Chinese, forcing Chinese officials to let British merchants go ashore into the city of Guangzhou to buy goods, if that really happened, the Chinese did not need to move, and the Portuguese could clean up Weddell.

If everyone goes to Guangzhou City to buy goods, what is Macau going to do? Even they (the Portuguese) can only go to Guangzhou once.

Joseph was French, but this did not delay him from working for the British East India Company, and he had always run the Tianzhu and South Seas routes. He hadn't seen Xinzhou before, but he had heard a lot about the Zheng family. He had seen the Dutch fleet sail out of Batavia.
