[259] Peking offered prisoners

Hearing that Batavia had fallen, the Dutch in Malacca suddenly lost their will to fight, and they sent messengers to surrender to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong planned to pretend to accept the surrender, and then put all these Dutchmen to death. At this time, Zheng Zhilong's subordinate Feng Chengshi (Feng Xifan's father) suggested: "Although An Guogong gave the general the right to act cheaply, it is not appropriate for the general to use up this right. You have already killed a lot of Dutch feathers in Batavia, and this captive, in my opinion, should be offered to Duke Anguo, and it is up to him to decide what to dispose of, so as to show your respect for him. ”

Zheng Zhilong calmed down and thought about it, it was really the truth, so he loaded more than 1,000 Dutch prisoners into four ships and transported them back to Fujian to present to Song Youliang.

It was not until more than ten days after Zheng Zhilong occupied Malacca that the Portuguese fleet that came from India to support the Ming Dynasty was late. Seeing that the Ming army occupied Malacca, Dover, the commander of the Portuguese fleet, proposed to Zheng Zhilong that he wanted the Ming Dynasty to hand over Malacca to Portugal, Zheng Zhilong, and said with a smile: "Damn, Lao Tzu worked hard to fight with the Dutch red hair, don't you come to eat ready-made, don't say it, do you want me to hand it over?" What is the truth of this? ”

Li Weijing, who is fluent in Dutch and Portuguese, removed the foul language, and then translated Zheng Zhilong's words truthfully Dover held his head high and said proudly: "Malacca was originally a Portuguese colony, but it was later robbed by the Dutch. Now that your country has recovered Malacca, we are allies, so shouldn't we return Malacca to its master? ”

"Ganlin's mother~" As soon as Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately scolded his mother, and finally estimated his face, so that he could suppress his anger so that he would not lose his temper even more.

Li Weijing saw that Zheng Zhilong's pirate temper was coming, so he hurriedly persuaded Zheng Zhilong to negotiate with Dover Li Weijing and said: "Your Excellency, if you say that you want to return Malacca to his master, then our army will not be able to hand over Malacca to Your Excellency. ”

"Why?" Dover's eyes widened, "First, our army was ordered to expel the Dutch, so it is our duty to take over Malacca. Second, if we take matters into our own hands and cede Malacca, then we will be beheaded by our king~" Li Weijing made a beheading action, "You don't want us to die, do you?" ”

"Of course not!" Dover hurriedly waved his hand, "That's it~ Next, let's discuss who is the owner of Malacca." Li Weijing said: "Of course we are Portuguese!" Dover said as a matter of course Li Weijing shook his head and said: "Malacca, I Ming call Manraka, it was my Ming vassal country, your country attacked Manraka and captured Malacca, in fact, it is equivalent to my Ming declaration of war." ”

"No, no, no~" Dover was about to defend himself, but Li Weijing interrupted him and said, "But that's in the past, aren't we allies now?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes~" Dover hurriedly shook his head again, "Your country has taken Malacca from Manchuria, the Dutch have taken Malacca from you, and I have recovered Malacca from the Dutch, so today's Malacca actually has nothing to do with your country!" Li Weijing's tongue-twister-like rhetoric made Dover frown, and before Dover could sort out this series of logical relationships, Li Weijing said in a row: "The Dutch have taken Malacca from you, how should you report to your king?" Naturally, it is said that Malacca was lost and defeated. Our army has recovered Malacca from the Dutch, how should we report to our king? Of course, it is to repay the merits of the war. You have received Malacca from Manraka as booty, and the Dutch have taken Malacca from you as booty, and our army has received Malacca from the Dutch. Will you give away your spoils of war to others? Therefore, the same Malacca, through the hands of the Dutch, has nothing to do with your country. To put it bluntly, this is also a matter between our country and the Dutch. If your country recovers the fortress of our country seized by the Dutch, I will never ask for it from you! ”

"Oh God!" Dover rubbed his temples, he was completely dizzy by Li Weijing's words, Li Weijing's words seemed reasonable, but they were full of crooked reasoning, but he couldn't refute it.

"So at least let my soldiers come ashore to replenish some fresh water and food?" Dover said helplessly, "Of course it's fine!" Li Weijing laughed at the Nanyang countries were originally the traditional sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, most of them were subject countries of the Ming Dynasty before, but with the invasion of the West, many countries interrupted the tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and some were simply destroyed The country is relative to the Central Plains, no Nanyang country will like Westerners, and the Central Plains used to interact, the two sides are basically mutually beneficial, many small countries can also make a fortune by paying tribute, and Westerners are completely naked plunder.

In the past, when the Central Plains Navy Division was strong, there were no Westerners who were rampant and domineering in the Nanyang countries, but now that the Central Plains Navy Division is strong again, those Nanyang countries that have long been cut off from the Central Plains Dynasty for many years have also begun to think about whether to resume the tributary relationship with the Central Plains again, and perhaps they can use their strength to drive Xiyi out.

Daming Hongde's Beijing, this year's Lantern Festival is particularly lively, Daming sailors in Nanyang won the battle through the newly opened newspaper "Daming News" spread all over the Ming Dynasty. In the teahouse, Mr. Storyteller turned the deeds of the naval army to conquer the Nanyang into "The Legend of the Nanyang Heroes of the Ming Dynasty", three times a day, and the venue was full.

And the merchants of the eastern coastal provinces are even happier, they seem to have seen the gold everywhere beckoning to them on the Jinluan Palace, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites held the court board in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, there are two new arrangements for this year's Lantern Festival celebration~"

"Oh? What is the arrangement? "Emperor Hongde on the dragon chair is now completely an emperor who rules by the arch, he has no interest in dealing with national affairs, and the power of the country is in the hands of Song Youliang from the beginning. As a result, Song Youliang completely assigned the task and power of managing the country to the cabinet. The Ming Dynasty originally had a cabinet system, and after Song Youliang's modernization reform, the current cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty has been very similar to the parliamentary constitutional monarchy of later generations, and the Ming Dynasty has actually unconsciously slowly transitioned in this direction. It's just that the head of the Ming Cabinet, the minister, is not called the prime minister, but the first assistant. At present, the position of this first assistant is naturally assumed by Song Youliang himself, "The first item is that the envoys of the Nanyang countries pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty~ The second item is that more than 1,000 Dutch red-haired captives parade through the streets to demonstrate the prestige of our Ming Dynasty." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said, "The Nanyang envoys? "Emperor Hongde thought of the scene when all the countries came to the dynasty when the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, how majestic it was, and he never imagined that he could have this opportunity today." Thanks to the virtuous son-in-law! Emperor Hongde looked at Song Youliang gratefully, "Father, the sons and daughters just did what they should do!" Song Youliang humbly saluted Emperor Hongde stood up, raised his hands and said: "This year's Lantern Festival must be lively and lively, and the whole world celebrates!" ”

"Yes!"

More than 1,000 Dutch captives were transported by water from Fujian to Tianjinwei, and then walked from Dagukou to the city of Beijing. Along the way, it is rare to see foreigners in the Ming Dynasty people vying to watch.

"It turns out that the red hair is also a head?"

"His third uncle, do you think the Western red hair is three heads and six arms!"

"However, these red-haired devils are indeed taller than us!"

"What's the use of being tall and big? The cake cut is big, but it's a pity that it's a foodie! ”

"That's it, it's not that our Daming babies are looking for teeth all over the ground!"

"I heard that my relatives who do business in Nanyang said that these Western red hairs are the most bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if you are a bad breed, he will treat you as a pig and dog. If you straighten your spine, he'll take you uncle! ”

"It's not~ I have a relative who does business in Nanyang, in the past, when these Dutch red hairs were in power, he could only accompany the smiling face, but now it's different, and he straightens his waist every day."

"Then your relatives are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!"

"That's different, at that time, the imperial court didn't give overseas Ming traders the masters, but now it's different, I heard that An Guogong will soon make a new law, specifically to protect Ming merchants who do business overseas."

"An Guogong is really an angel given to us by God! Since we have An Guogong, our farmer's life has been much better! There are not as many harsh taxes as before! ”

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ the Jinshui Bridge, a group of Dutch prisoners of war led by the Dutch Governor of Malacca, Sa Bowen, stood in a big phalanx on the square, and Emperor Hongde also pointed at these Dutch prisoners of war who looked strange to him like a diorama. Ordering these people to dance and cheer up? ”

"Great idea!" Emperor Hongde felt that he could do the same thing as Tang Taizong, which was really better than any sycophancy, so he said loudly: "Order the Yiren captives below to dance~"

"Your Majesty ordered the people to dance!"

"Your Majesty ordered the people to dance!"

The eunuchs passed down the holy decree all the way, and Cui Dianshi, the Taiwanese government who was in charge of the translation work in the audience, immediately translated the words of Emperor Hongde to Sa Bowen: "Is this an insult?" Sa Bowen refused to dance Cui Dianshi waved his hand, and more than a dozen black hole guns were immediately aimed at Sa Bowen, Sa Bowen had no choice but to lead his men to dance by the Jinshui Bridge.

Emperor Hongde looked at the "weird" dance of the Dutch, and smiled backwards, "Is this called dancing?" Forget it~~ Let them stop! ”

"Your Majesty's order to stop!"

"Your Majesty's order to stop!"

The eunuch went all the way down the holy decree, and Sa Bowen, who was twisting his waist very unnaturally, breathed a sigh of relief, and Emperor Hongde asked Zhang Huangyan beside him, "Where is the horse?" ”

Zhang Huangyan replied: "The horse is in the cabinet to discuss with the ministers to establish a law to govern our Ming vassal state. The horse said that in the future, there will be more and more subject countries of my Ming Dynasty, and a special law or even a special yamen will be needed to manage these subject countries. This will not be the case that the subject country will become more and more estranged from me tomorrow~"

"Oh~~" Hongde smiled: "Thanks to the blessing of this son-in-law, I, the emperor who rules by the arch, can also accept the worship of the envoys of all countries who come to the dynasty like Chengzu!" ”

Zhang Huangyan said with a smile: "Not only Your Majesty's blessing, but also my Ming's blessing~"
