Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward again, Mao Jue's smile gradually subsided, and Zheng Zhilong coughed heavily and said gloomily.

"Mr. Ruferi, you must know that you are talking to the regent of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Excellency Ruferi has just come to Asia, and I don't know the situation, is the regent going to take a stake? This is an honor for my East India Company, and this matter is easy to discuss, easy to discuss!"

The Taiwanese Governor Vanderbilt was originally a very strict soldier, but when he heard Zheng Zhilong's threat, he had to smile at this time, playing a round like a businessman, and nodding his head with a stiff smile.

No way, no matter how tough it is, it can't be absolute strength! Not to mention Mao Jue, just one Zheng Zhilong, he can't afford to provoke him, the entire Southeast Asia, as long as it is next to the Ming trade, has to pay tribute to Zheng Zhilong, even if he is the governor of Taiwan distributed by the East India Company, he has to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong every year about how much silver to buy, otherwise you will not want to go out of the port.

Besides, Mao Jue, even if he puts aside his status as a regent, not to mention the fleets in his hands, just his cough in the Japanese country can make the Japanese country tremble, it is enough for Vanderbilt to be afraid, the Taiwan branch is the most profitable stronghold in the Asian department of the entire East India Company, and the largest source of trade in Taiwan also comes from the Japanese state.

This person is newly enthroned and in power, and he is the first to come to you to get some oil and water, that is to look up to you, if he can please Mao Jue, even if he hands over half of the profits of the Taiwan branch to him in a year, Vanderbilt is willing.

However, there are always people running wildly on the road to death, and as soon as Vanderbilt finished speaking, Rufeli shook his head with red hair, and shook his head righteously.

"What nonsense is the first system of the company, which is not to accept foreign capital control! So this matter is not negotiable, it is not negotiable!"

Mao Jue's brows were locked, but at this time he was still not angry, talking about business!

Newton once said that he was not a giant, but he stood on the shoulders of giants! Today's Dutch East India Company is indeed a giant for Daming, you must know that the sea route is not overnight, casually groped out, it took a huge amount of time and human life in the rough sea to wade out one by one.

Don't look at Mao Jue and Zheng Zhilong's sea power is not small, but the ship line of the Ming Dynasty is still only limited to the offshore waters of the South China Sea in the East China Sea, a few years ago Mao Jue launched an expedition, hoping to sail east along the North Sea to see if he could reach Canada, but the result was a failure, two of the five ships were broken, and more than 200 people froze to death, so finding a shortcut became something that Mao Jue desperately wanted.

Invested in the Dutch East India Company, Mao Jue also planned not a day or two, the Dutch are really a good partner for Daming, first of all, in terms of hardware conditions, the Netherlands, known as the sea coachman, is undoubtedly very suitable for the needs of Daming! Secondly, both countries have a common enemy, Spain!

A few years ago, Spain carried out two massacres against the local Chinese in Manila with butcher knives, this hatred Mao Jue did not forget, and at this time the Netherlands did not fully achieve independence, and was still in the bloody eighty years war with Spain, and the Ming wanted to open up new colonies, the Dutch East India Company also expanded, and the conflict with the old colonial empire Spain could not be avoided.

"Your country is at war with Spain in order to seek independence, the Spaniards in Manila have also slaughtered my Ming Chinese, if this king joins the shareholder Indian company, this king will also send troops to deal with Spain, and even if necessary, as a partner, the Ming can also organize an expeditionary corps to go to Europe to help the Netherlands fight Spain! Once the cooperation is completed, dozens of large and small ports along the coast of Daming will be open to the East India Company on an equal footing, and the two sides can negotiate the tax rate fairly, as well as shipbuilding!"

I still hope to complete this cooperation to suppress the unhappiness, Mao Jue once again elaborated on the advantages of Daming.

"It's not that I look down on your country, but the seven provinces of the Netherlands are added together, I'm afraid they are not as big as the Xuzhou Prefecture that this king won in the southern expedition, your forest and tree area is far less than the Ming Dynasty, and in my dynasty, Jiangnan has a traditional shipbuilding base, the north of the Great Xing'an Mountains, the Namba of the Wa Kingdom, Hengbo, are all excellent timber producing areas, our dynasty in Dengzhou, Lushun, Tieshan, Dandong's shipbuilding base is also booming, and the Ming Dynasty has plenty of seafarers!"

"I have heard that Portugal and Spain once arrogantly divided the world equally by the 46.7th parallel of west longitude, and if our two countries join forces, the world will truly be ours."

"Don't you think about it, sir?"

After saying this, Vanderbilt, the old soldier, was about to lose his son, the advantages and conditions of Daming were too great, and he couldn't wait to nod his head according to Rufeli's playboy head and agree, but history is always so full of black humor, and the Batavia chief is still so proud and shook his head.

"Your Excellency also knows that our country is in a decisive battle with the Spanish Empire, and that the Netherlands is fighting for the freedom of the seven provinces and vetoing the unreasonable rule of King Philip of Spain! With all due respect, your country is also under the rule of such an ignorant and backward royal family, how can our country defeat Spain and bring in a Ming dynasty? ”

"As for your country's kindness in sending troops to help the war, I have all the heart, my country has the strength to resist Spain independently and maintain colonies around the country, there is no need for Daming to intervene, of course, Daming is willing to open the port, and the East India Company is also willing to continue to do business with Daming and bring wealth to Daming, but this shareholding is absolutely impossible!"

"Pu'er barbarians, you dare to refuse Da Ming!"

Half calm, half angry, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but slam the table and stood up, shouting angrily, but Mao Jue sat still, just indifferently raised his hand backwards to stop him, and then raised his wine glass expressionlessly to the still arrogant ape son.

"This king is a pity!"

Dried the wine violently, put down the glass, Mao Jue still left the table so elegantly, watched him walk away in astonishment, stretched out his hand to get rid of it, but immediately, Vanderbilt put down his hand weakly, turned around and spread his hands at Rufeli with sadness, and shouted helplessly.

"Your Excellency! You're rejecting God!"

But still with that smug look, Ruferi snorted the wine in his glass and hummed indifferently.

"Your Excellency Vanderbilt, do these barbaric and backward Orientals dare to be enemies of our East India Company? Just because these barbarians are like taking a stake in our company, if it is passed back to Amsterdam, it will not make those shareholders laugh and lose their big teeth? You can rest assured, whoever dares to touch us will be against the entire Protestant Alliance! No worries!"

"Here, have a drink!"

Seeing him raise his wine glass, Vanderbilt couldn't help but snort angrily again, but he also left the table, making it boring, so that the playboy couldn't help but mumble a few words, but in just a moment, in front of the peach blossoms, Rufeli held the wine glass again, and greeted a few Qinhuai celebrities with a lewd smile.

…………

"It just doesn't make sense! Do these red-haired clansmen really think they are invincible in the world? ”

This loss is not only Mao Jue's face, but also the huge face of the Oriental pirate who left the banquet hall with Mao Jue, who was speechless, and just returned to the captain's room, Zheng Zhilong, who had already regarded himself as his own person, flicked his sleeves angrily, and immediately hugged Mao Jue with a heavy fist.

"Lord Wang! Xiaguan asked for war and returned to Fujian, and Xiaguan surrounded his Taiwan branch and trapped him for two months, to see if these bastards cried!"

However, unexpectedly, Mao Jue actually smiled and sat back on his comfortable leather sofa, Mao Jue shook his head with a distressed smile.

"No need, we are civilized people, we can't beat people if they don't do business with us, right? Isn't that pirate style? ”

We're pirates, aren't we? Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened, and he almost didn't shout, is this still the head of the Beihai dragon that taught him a lesson in the Wa Kingdom back then? Could it be that he entered the customs, and his ambitions were also worn out by these sour and rotten people?

Fortunately, just when Zheng Zhilong was stunned, Mao Jue's smile had gradually turned to yin, and the corners of his mouth were filled with ruthlessness like wolves in the white mountains and black waters.

"There is more than one East India Company, and since the Dutch are not willing to cooperate with us, we can visit the next one!"

"But at that time, it will be normal for companies to compete for business, and there will be any friction or conflict or something, Mr. Zheng, don't you say it's true?"

This is the pirate who smiles and stabs you when you are not paying attention! was also said by Mao Jue to be so high-sounding, no wonder people can be regents! Zheng Zhilong was convinced with a fist, and slapped it with a sycophant.

"The Lord Regent is wise!"

…………

In order to show his closeness, Zheng Zhilong was left on the Black Pearl that night, and lived next to the No. 2 luxury cabin not far from Mao Jue's captain's cabin, and the dozens of leaders he brought also got Mao Jue's broadband, and also gave the treasure of the Dongjiang River, a delicate ivory handle revolver, and a number of silver, although he did not come up to work hard for Mao Jue, but a South China Sea pirate for these new dragon heads The senses are obviously much better, this party has just been arranged, and Mao Lance is ordered to come back.

"All gone?"

"Master Hui, not yet! The governor of Taiwan wanted to come and ask to see you again, but he was blocked by the last general, that kid really didn't have the eyesight to see, and he was still drinking and having fun in the court, do you want the last general to throw him into the sea? ”

"I don't need to!"

Laughing for less than ten years, Mao Jue has been very smiling recently, but the evil spirit in that smile made Mao Jue feel a little chill down his spine, and he picked up the wine glass very casually and shook it, he said with a chuckle.

"Won't you be asked to find a few widows for that kid?"

"The last general scattered the people?"

"Nope! Double!"

This night, the bow cabin of the far away Mao Jue, the creaking sound of the bed squeaking all covered up the sound of the sailboat swaying with the waves, and the wolf-like widow asked for it, I don't know if this ape son will be able to get up tomorrow morning.

However, with his rejection of Mao Jue, then in the East, he and the Dutch East India Company behind him are no longer important! This episode is just to satisfy Mao Jue's own bad taste.

The bigger the event, the more it is in the shadows, the singing and dancing on the Black Pearl have not stopped, but a small boat has been put down in the night, and has crossed the Yangtze River overnight, and before dawn, the gods have arrived in Yingtian unconsciously.

Historically, Western learning flourished for a period of time in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the calendar lesson plan in the early years of Kangxi that Western missionaries were cleared out of China, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that they made a comeback.

At this time, Yingtian has a small number of very exotic churches, and every morning, you can hear the bell buzzing, and a group of foreigners gather together to pray under the curious eyes of Nanjing residents.

Most of these churches were built by the Jesuits, and they are typical of Catholicism, and there is one church in the northernmost corner that is not in keeping with them.

The bare planks, as simple as a wooden barn, with little to show the character of this Western church except for a pointed roof and a cross, and the least number of people gathered here to pray, only seven or eight, an old Western man in a white linen garment, holding an iron cross, silently recited.

Although this is the capital of the Southern Ming Empire, for the spies under Mao Jue's command, it is no more difficult to get there than to return to Nanjing, and it is easy to sneak into the city, bypassing many rich churches, and he went straight to the door of this humble church. He didn't go in, but faced the door of the church, pinned an equally dull and simple cross to his chest, and shook it inward in the sunlight.

Looking at the cross, for a moment, the poor godfather, who had been benevolently preaching, burst out with a brilliant brilliance that did not match it in his dim pupils...... Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
