Zhang Bin held the binoculars and looked at the Dutch battleship in front of him and the white flags constantly erected on the warship, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slowly curl up.

Victory, finally victory, Nanyang has been the world of the Ming Dynasty since then!

At this time, some of the warships on the opposite side had begun to sink, and countless sailors and soldiers were desperately jumping into the water, and after thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Order all the wheels to come forward, collect their weapons, and salvage the prisoners who have fallen into the water." ”

With a wave of the flag, more than two hundred wheels quickly stepped forward and surrounded the Dutch warships and warships, and then the zipline spilled out like fishing nets, and countless sailors boarded the Dutch warships and warships.

Zhang Bin saw that the situation was almost under control, so he ordered: "Order all cruisers and battleships to move closer to the port dock, and the handsome ships will directly dock." ”

There was another wave of the order flag, and twenty Zhenyuan cruisers and Weiyuan battleships slowly approached the empty port dock, and soon, Zhang Bin landed with a group of guards and stepped into the governor's palace.

The reason why he was so eager was naturally to see how the harvest was going this time.

Fortunately, this time it was a sneak attack, and Brower didn't have time to transfer and destroy the supplies, and all the precious materials of the East India Company were there, such as nautical charts, records of colonies, various transaction records, etc., all of which were served in one pot.

However, it is a pity that there are not many gold and silver treasures in their treasury, a total of more than two million taels of silver, and there are not many other gold and jewelry, because every year the Batavia headquarters will transport the wealth earned back to the mainland, and the time is in June every year, that is to say, the profits they earned last year have been shipped back to the mainland, and the rest are earned after June this year. So there wasn't much silver in the treasury.

For this, Zhang Bin could only sigh regretfully, there was no way, he could only blame himself for his poor fortune.

Unexpectedly, he just shook his head and walked out of the treasury of the Governor's Mansion with a sigh, but Wang Er ran over and said excitedly: "My lord, the Dutch treasury was found in the city, and there were many goods in it. ”

The goods can be worth a few dollars, Zhang Bin thought that the warehouse over there was similar to this side, and there were only a few houses, even if they were all stuffed, they were not worth much, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "How much is a lot?" ”

Wang Er still said excitedly: "I can't count them, there are many rows of their warehouses." ”

It turned out to be a lot of warehouses, and it was estimated that there were really a lot of goods, Zhang Bin couldn't help but say with interest: "Oh, take me to have a look." ”

Wang Er hurriedly led the way, and Zhang Bin beckoned Qi Yuangong, He Bin and others to follow him to the small city behind the Governor's Palace.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but there were few shops open on the streets of Batavia, and the streets were deserted, except for the soldiers of the Ming army, there was hardly even a single civilian person to see.

This seems to be a little wrong, according to all aspects of intelligence, nearly sixty percent of the traders in Batavia are Ming merchants, and now that the Ming army is coming, they should happily welcome the mezzanine, the door is closed, hiding in the shops and not coming out, what does this mean?

Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Wang Er, are there only a few merchants in the Ming Dynasty here, how did I hear that there are many Ming merchants here, what is going on?" ”

When Wang Er heard this, he was slightly embarrassed and said: "There are a lot of merchants in Daming here, but most of them escaped from Daming in violation of the sea ban. ”

It turns out that this is the case, most of the Ming merchants here are smugglers for a long time, no wonder they dare not open the door, it is estimated that they are worried, afraid that the Ming soldiers will arrest them back and punish them!

Zhang Bin thought for a while, and then said to Qi Yuangong on the side: "Yuangong, arrange for people to notify them door-to-door, and tell all the Ming merchants here that they are not to blame for what they have done in the past, and this will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, as long as they abide by the law and pay taxes according to the law, we will not trouble them, let them do business with confidence." ”

When Qi Yuangong heard this, he didn't immediately order someone to go door-to-door to inform, but instead asked, "My lord, what should other merchants do?" ”

Zhang Bin really didn't think about this problem, he thought about it, and then ordered: "All Dutch merchants are arrested, and the other merchants are as they wish, if they want to stay, they can pay taxes honestly, and if they don't want to stay, they can move out." ”

When Qi Yuangong heard this, he nodded and said, "The last general understands." ”

Immediately, he handed over the order to the guards, and after a while, a group of heavily armed elites of the Qi family army appeared on the street and began to knock on doors from door to door.

If the people inside can speak Chinese and answer the words, they are very polite.

If the people inside don't say anything and don't open the door, then they will be embarrassed, they will break into the door directly, and if they are Dutch, they will all be arrested, and if they are not Dutch, they will teach a few lessons, and then turn around and leave!

Now the city is lively, all kinds of knocks, shouts, laughter, howls, cursing, etc., endlessly, making it as noisy as countless pear orchard teams singing together.

Zhang Bin didn't say anything, they are occupiers, and the occupiers have to take the posture of an occupier, quickly put the city in order, and clean up all the factors that are unfavorable to themselves.

The group walked along the street for about a quarter of an hour, and at last came to a high wall, which was probably not several hundred meters wide, and there were watchtowers at the corners at both ends, which looked like a critical point.

Zhang Bin followed Wang Er from the main entrance to take a look, sure enough, it was a row of houses, the houses here are higher than the average house, and there is a gate in a row, it seems to be a warehouse, he followed Wang Er into the nearest warehouse to see, good guy, there are at least a few thousand square meters inside, the middle is a spacious aisle, and there are neat piles of goods on both sides.

There was obviously a special fragrance in this warehouse, Zhang Bin smelled it, and then asked in disbelief: "Won't it be all spices, right?" ”

Wang Er nodded excitedly and said: "Yes, there are all spices here, this pile is cinnamon, that pile is cloves, and over there is fennel, star anise, bay leaves, mint, etc., a lot, a lot, and the warehouse across the road is also spices." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was dumbfounded, such a large warehouse is full of spices, and there is another warehouse, so many spices, worth at least one million taels or more.

It's really a fortune now, and there are not one or two warehouses here, but more than ten!

He couldn't help but ask excitedly: "What goods are written in other warehouses, have you checked it?" ”

When Wang Er heard this, he said embarrassedly: "My lord, we just found this place not long ago, and we have checked these two for the time being, and the others are still being investigated, and it is not very clear what is in them." ”

Things are here, and they can't run away, Zhang Bin is not in a hurry, he took a group of people to turn around one by one, more than ten warehouses, the most worthless is a few warehouses of sugar and grain, others, there are cotton, pepper, all kinds of metals, all kinds of medicinal materials, and even porcelain, tea, silk, cloth, etc., are all piles of piles, piles of warehouses are everywhere, although I don't know the specific number yet, but take a look at it to know, these things, at least worth five or six million taels!

Zhang Bin took people around for nearly an hour, and then returned to the fortress where the governor's palace was located, found a spacious and bright study, and then ordered someone to escort Brower, the governor of the East India Company.

Brower was quite tough, and after seeing Zhang Bin, he didn't cower, nor did he tremble in fright, but stood there with his head held high, unable to hold it down.

Everyone is a governor, Zhang Bin didn't humiliate him too much, refused to kneel, just let him stand, Zhang Bin waved his hand, signaled the guards not to press it anymore, and then said lightly: "Your Excellency Governor Brower, I have heard of the name for a long time, and today we finally met." ”

These unnutritious nonsense can only be taken out boringly by the winner, Brower didn't have the leisure to fight with Zhang Bin haha, he said directly and hard: "Your Excellency the Governor, our East India Company is a regular company, protected by law, you are doing this is a robbery, you know, I advise you to release us quickly, and then withdraw the army." ”

Oops, hey, after being defeated, you began to talk about the law, reasoning, you have never been reasonable when you won the war, Zhang Bin directly sneered: "Dongfan is the territory of our Ming Empire, why do you want to seize it, why do you come to attack again and again after I recover, isn't it a bandit behavior for you to do this?" ”

Brower quibbled: "That's different, we are not preemptive, but peaceful development, your Ming Empire didn't care at the beginning, and when we finished building, we suddenly had to take it back, is there any reason for this?" ”

Zhang Bin said righteously: "What do you mean that it doesn't matter at the beginning, can our Ming Empire seize our territory if we don't have time to pay attention to you?" You can beat us, but we can't beat you, what is your reasoning? ”

When Brower heard this, he said inwardly: "You will completely anger our United Provincial Republic by doing this, do you know? ”

Zhang Bin stretched out his fist and said disdainfully: "What if you are provoked, countries have always only focused on strength, but now we have a big fist, if we are not convinced, we will fight!" ”

When Brower heard this, he suddenly wilted, at this time, the relationship between countries is so simple, whoever has a big fist will be reasonable, if you can't beat it, you won't be reasonable, now, it is obvious that in the Far East, the Netherlands can't do the Ming Empire.

Zhang Bin saw that he was silent, so he said slowly: "I came to you to ask you to issue an order to hand over your strongholds in Da Ni, Huni, Champong, Luzon, Malacca, Donghu, Siam and other places to our Ming Empire, understand?" ”

When Brower heard this, he glared at Zhang Bin with puffed eyes, and shook his head resolutely: "Impossible, I will not issue such an order." ”

Zhang Bin said coldly: "Do you think I can't do anything if you don't issue an order?" I just don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and tell you that our Ming Empire does not welcome your East India Company, so you must withdraw all the strongholds in the Nanyang region, if not, I will send troops to help you withdraw, you should think about it. ”

Brower seized the opportunity and sneered: "Do you dare to send troops, do you think these countries are vegetarians, you send troops, they won't resist?" ”

This is indeed a problem, if it is better to change to the past, these countries are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty gives an order to the past, they will immediately help the Ming Dynasty to end the stronghold of the Dutch East India Company, but now, it is not good, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, these vassal states are not very much of the Ming Dynasty, and the order is over, it is estimated that people will not pay attention to it.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Bin asked Brower to issue an order for them to automatically give up their strongholds, and if they really sent troops over, it is really hard to say whether there will be a fight.

Of course, these Zhang Bin naturally didn't tell Brauer, but he pretended to be full of confidence, and said proudly: "You don't know yet, these countries are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, just like you used to belong to Spain, we Ming sent troops over, that is called the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, who dares to resist, do you think that all countries like to rebel like you in the Netherlands?" You have also seen the strength of our Ming Empire, who dares to rebel? ”

This is simply revealing the bottom of the world, at this time the Netherlands is still nominally a Spanish territory, Brower couldn't help but point at Zhang Bin angrily and said, "You ......." ”

Zhang Bin immediately interrupted coldly: "Pay attention to your identity, Your Excellency the Governor, now that you are my prisoner, don't force me to torture you." ”

Brower looked at the Ming soldiers who were staring at him, and hurriedly withdrew his hand in fright, only then did he remember that he had been captured by others, and if they really wanted to beat him, it would be for nothing.

Zhang Bin continued to say coldly: "I only ask you now, whether to sign or not to issue an order, if you don't issue an order, I will send troops, you can't blame me for any casualties caused at that time, this is your responsibility, you know?" It's like just now, if you don't give the order to surrender, I will order all your warships and warships to be sunk, isn't the result the same? ”

His meaning is obvious, if you don't order people to retreat, I will send troops to attack, and casualties will definitely not be avoided.

Brower struggled inwardly for a while, and finally said helplessly: "I can issue an order, but before that, I want to confirm a question, what are you going to do with us?" ”

Zhang Bin naturally thought about this problem a long time ago, and sold them all to the Spaniards, which is not simple.

However, he did not say so, but swore solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will ask someone to send you back to the continent." ”

Brower asked incredulously, "Really?" ”

Of course it's true, isn't selling them to the Spaniards just asking someone to send them back to Europe, as for how the Spaniards send them back, or whether they send them back or not, it has nothing to do with him, Zhang Bin nodded very seriously: "Of course it's true, as long as you issue an order to withdraw all the strongholds in Nanyang, I will immediately contact you to send you back to Europe." ”

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, in fact, Brower can't be sure whether Zhang Bin is a liar at all, the reason why he asks these is probably just to seek a little comfort in his heart, since everyone has said so, he can't ask anymore, he can only sigh gloomily, and issue an order according to Zhang Bin's request.
