The red sun danced little by little from the sea level, as if trying to break free from some constraints, from a small red dot to half a red circle, and then into a complete circle, jumping from the sea level.

Qian Haocheng stared at the sun in the distance a little intoxicated, squinted his eyes and said, "Old Zhou, do you think those barbarians will choose to surrender or fight to the death?" ”

Zhou Liangzhi was not in the mood to see the sunrise on the sea, but raised the telescope in his hand to stare at the Batavia Port in the distance, and sneered: "If that barbarian has the courage to fight to the death, what did he come to do yesterday?"

Besides, after watching yesterday's Fuchuan firepower, how many people in the world can not take it as a thing? ”

Qian Haocheng said without looking back: "The South China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet in the future, they will not be the same thing." ”

Zhou Liangzhi was laughed at by Qian Haocheng: "Aren't you raising the bent bar!" These two fleets are also my Ming navy, with the same firepower configuration and the same non-commissioned equipment, they naturally don't care much.

But let me tell you, even if the South China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet come, at most they will fight to lose both, and it is impossible to say that they don't care at all. ”

Qian Haocheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's what I said." Then again, when will those barbarians come out and surrender? ”

Zhou Liangzhi said: "You can come whenever you want, anyway, it doesn't exceed the time set by our Admiral." ”

Qian Haocheng was about to say something, but he heard Zhou Liangzhi say: "It's here!" ”

Qian Haocheng, who had been watching the sunrise with his back to Zhou Liangzhi, also lost the interest of continuing to watch, and turned around and looked at the port of Batavia with a telescope.

Just like the great health care services of later generations, if you want to do it, you have to do a full set, and if you come up and do it, it will make people feel that something is missing.

The same is true of Governor Cohen.

Since you have gambled on your reputation and chose to surrender, then don't be like that eleven or twelve-year-old girl, just do a full set of jobs.

So not only did Governor Cohen fly the white flag on the battleship that sailed over again, but even the remaining three-masted battleships in the port of Batavia lowered their half-raised sails.

On the ground of the port of Batavia was a neat empty-handed procession of East India Company soldiers, muskets and cold weapons piled together.

Zhou Liangzhi smiled and said to Qian Haocheng: "What's the matter, what am I talking about?" These barbarians are not the kind of heroes who fight to the death and never retreat!

If these grandsons of the Beijing camp or the northern and southern imperial forests are to guard this Batavia, unless there is no one in the whole of Batavia who will breathe, you don't want to make them surrender! ”

Qian Haocheng snorted twice but did not refute.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is not how fierce the soldiers of the Beijing Camp and the Northern and Southern Imperial Forest Army are afraid of death, but that they are afraid that their families will be affected after their death, even their own naval officers.

Just like the eunuchs of the prison army constantly emphasized, one person dies in battle, the whole family is glorious, one person surrenders, and the whole family is unlucky.

This has always been an unbreakable truth in the East, even for the sake of their families, these soldiers are impossible, let alone dare to choose to surrender.

After seeing Zhou Liangzhi and Qian Haocheng again, Cohen, the governor of Batavia of the East India Company and one of the seventeen gentlemen, took off his hat first, stroked his chest and said, "It's a pleasure to see two friends again." ”

After Zhou Liangzhi and Qian Haocheng bowed their hands, Cohen continued: "Do you want to trouble you to introduce me to His Excellency the Governor of Nan again?" ”

Zhou Liangzhi said with a smile: "Mr. Cohen, don't worry, the Governor of South is already waiting for Mr. Cohen, please come with me." ”

In Nan Juyi's command module, Cohen once again saw Nan Juyi, who was not smiling: "Mr. Nan, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, we chose to put down our swords and guns to solve the problem.

But again, we want to be treated decently. ”

Nan Juyi nodded and said, "This is nature. Before the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes, Nan will guarantee your personal safety. ”

Although Cohen had already expressed his surrender to Nanjuyi, and Nanjuyi had roughly accepted it, Nanjuyi could not accept Batavia until Emperor Chongzhen had not explicitly accepted Cohen's surrender.

In other words, it is still unknown whether Emperor Chongzhen can accept Cohen's surrender, and Nan Juyi is only testing it with the hope of what happens.

Anyway, judging from Emperor Chongzhen's previous style, it is likely that he will have to fight in the end.

It is precisely because of this that Nan Juyi chose to continue to surround Batavia, but did not attack, just waited for Emperor Chongzhen's order.

But Zhou Liangzhi was thinking about the charts and navigation diaries on the Dutch warship.

Looking at Chen Liangzhi walking back and forth, Nan Juyi stroked the gray beard on his chest and smiled: "Why are you so anxious? Once you have received Batavia, are you sure that you will be able to find nautical charts and nautical diaries?

If it were you, would you leave a diary and charts related to Daming Haiphong? ”

Zhou Liangzhi thought about it, but said categorically: "The lowly will choose to die in battle!" The lowly would rather sink to the bottom of the sea with these things than let them fall into the hands of the barbarians! ”

Nan Juyi smiled: "That's it." You'll think so, and so will the barbarians. There is so much information in nautical charts and logbooks that it is extremely valuable to any fleet or even a country, and how can it easily fall into the hands of others? ”

Zhou Liangzhi asked unwillingly, "Do you want to?" ”

Shaking his hand, Nan Juyi smiled and said, "There is no need to be so troublesome. Now that we've accepted their surrender, the rest doesn't matter much to us. ”

Seeing that Zhou Liangzhi was still a little puzzled, Nan Juyi continued: "The old man will write down the situation here and present it to His Majesty, and the rest of the matter will naturally be decided by His Majesty and the military government." ”

After arranging many things almost completely, Nan Juyi then instructed Zhou Liangzhi: "Send someone to Zheng Zhilong to ask if he Zheng Yiguan has beaten Luzon down, and whether he has to let our East China Sea Fleet help him!" ”

Zhou Liangzhi was also a little speechless.

Admiral Nan is a good person, whether it is an official or a person, he basically has no choice, but when facing the South China Sea Fleet, it is like a different person.

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious and painful.

Although the East India Company is notorious, it can be said that it is full of evil deeds in the textbooks of the flower planters, and even the mites are pressed to the ground and rubbed, and the film and television dramas of later generations and the inside even blow the East India Company to the sky and the earth, and it is almost said that Lao Tzu is the king of the earth.

But judging from the current situation, not to mention what kind of self-esteem, I don't even have the courage to fight the East China Sea Fleet, what else is so good?

As for the reason why Emperor Chongzhen is very stupid, just like what the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry, Railways, Communications, and Household in Nanjing said, who will be a coolie after cutting down the barbarians?

Since you can't directly cut down the barbarians, it's better to think of other ways to get enough benefits from the barbarians.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered Wang Chengen to send someone to Honglu Temple to bring Li Chengyan, who was learning business knowledge from the bigwigs, and Xu Hongji, the leader of the Nanjing Military Government.

After Li Chengyan and Xu Hongji finished their audience, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Wang Chengen to hand Nan Juyi's recital to Li Chengyan: "Let's see first, what should these Dutch do?" ”

After Li Chengyan carefully read the recital, he bowed down directly and said: "Your Majesty, even if the Dutch have surrendered, they will be afraid of death." You might as well take advantage of this time to cut the soil and ask for its silver. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head: "This is the surrender of the East India Company, not the surrender of the court of the Netherlands, there is no problem with Suo Qiyin and Yin, as for the split land, only Batavia, is it too little?" ”

Li Chengyan didn't think of any tricks for a while, but Xu Hongji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, when a child makes a mistake, people will always find his parents, and this East Indian is the child of the Dutch?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly burst out laughing.

Originally, I was thinking about whether to accept the surrender of these East India Company people, but now it seems that there is no need.

Xu Hongji, this guy, found a perfect excuse for Emperor Chongzhen to crusade against the country of no way.

After laughing, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Let Nan Juyi accept the surrender of the Henan East India Company, and cede the land of Batavia to the Ming Dynasty." All the Dutch who live in Batavia, let them all fuck off! ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen remembered one more thing, so he continued to ask: "Xu Aiqing, how much did the South China Sea Fleet cost on this trip?" ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Xu Hongji bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, since the deployment of troops, the supply of food and ammunition is about one million taels.

If only the cost of pacifying the Great Ryukyus is calculated, it is about 900,000 taels, mainly because of the cost of cannonballs and firecrackers.

In the land of Batavia, because there was no actual exchange of fire, the cost was not much, only about 100,000 taels of food, which was negligible. ”

After nodding, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Order him to compensate 10 million taels of silver for military expenses!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Chengyan: "I said before, you are the main person in the negotiation with the barbarians, and you may be competent?" ”

Although he felt that this trip was stressful, Li Chengyan still bowed down directly and responded: "The minister will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to order Li Chengyan to calm down, and then instructed Xu Hongji: "The king of the Netherlands has no way, and his majesty has no way, so that the people of the East Indies will offend our Celestial Empire, and Qin will order Nanjuyi to crusade against him!" ”

Now it's done, not only can you get Batavia in your pocket, but you can also slap the Dutch again, and dig another piece of meat from the Dutch.

In this way, the plans that were discussed with Li Chengyan when he was in the Drunken Immortal Building can basically be perfectly realized, first cutting a piece of meat from the Netherlands and Spain, and then swallowing them whole.

After waving his hand and ordering Xu Hongji and Li Chengyan to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen's thinking that was very easy to deviate suddenly thought of something.

At the beginning, he seemed to have made a will, ordering Zhu Xieyuan to kill all the Franco-machine barbarians in Macau.

But the unequal treaties signed by Mites said that Macau had been ceded to Portugal.

In other words, Zhu Xieyuan and Fu Weiming slaughtered not Spaniards or Dutchmen in Macau, but Portuguese?

Doesn't seem right? Jin Yiwei's intelligence said that Portugal had conspired with Spain before, intending to split the entire earth in two?

Later, he was intimidated by Spain, and now he is still under Spanish rule? Are you planning to rebel against independence?

What a headache!

What are the teeth of these barbarian countries one by one, and there are a lot of things in the place, today this one is with that one, and tomorrow the one with another eyebrows, it can simply annoy people!

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen, who felt a headache, finally didn't continue to think about it.

Anyway, they are all barbarians, and they don't have to pay attention to any human rights, so if they kill by mistake, they will be killed by mistake, and they will have to be killed sooner or later anyway, and they don't care about this day and half a day.

Li Chengyan, who left the palace, was full of confidence, as long as he could understand the errand assigned by His Majesty this time, the time would come for Zonghengxue to stir up the storm!

After arriving at the port of Batavia to meet Nan Juyi, Li Chengyan only took a short rest and ordered someone to look for the people of the East India Company, and directly looked for Cohen.

Although Cohen was aggrieved, in order to be able to lead his subordinates to live, or to negotiate a good result, he finally started negotiations with Li Chengyan in person.

Contrary to Cohen's expectations, Li Chengyan's so-called negotiations were basically similar to the notice, with a total of three demands, and nothing else was mentioned.

First, compensate the Ming military expenses of 20 million taels of silver.

There was no way to continue this negotiation, and the first one alone gave Choen the urge to flip the table.

What does 20 million taels of silver mean?

The entire East India Company, not just the East India Company in Batavia, but all the companies in other regions can be counted together to take out 20 million taels of silver, and the rest of the days are basically spent with their belts strapped.

As for the so-called military reparations, it is even more funny.

Cohen considered himself not a fool to be one of the seventeen gentlemen of the East India Company, and at the same time was the governor of Batavia, so Cohen naturally knew the approximate cost of the war.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Nan Juyi's fleet did not fight mosquitoes with cannons, it would be impossible to exceed the cost of five million taels, and even if it was doubled, it would not be possible to exceed ten million taels.

This guy in front of him is 20 million taels when he opens his mouth, why don't you grab it?

Cohen, who had a gloomy face, did not refute Li Chengyan's statement, but said, "I don't know what other conditions your country has?" ”

Li Chengyan also happily stated the second condition: the East India Company must, immediately, immediately give up and get out of Batavia.

As for where so many East India Company members go, this is the East India Company's own business.

ps: Thank you to the leader of the "Sky Dream" for the reward, and at the same time, in order to celebrate the 95 points of Keyi, there will be a change in a while.
