The Dutch envoy came to visit, Zhu Cijiong did not plan to meet in person, the Dutch came over at this time to prevent the Ming Dynasty from attacking Annam, this is nothing to talk about, the Ming Empire can't clean up a subject country and it is not their turn to talk more, and no matter what the identity of the person who comes, he is not qualified to talk to him, because he is the emperor, and the Netherlands, there is no emperor now!

Zheng Zhilong, who was also the "chief negotiator" of the Ming Dynasty, simply let him talk to the Dutch, and he directly asked Zheng Zhilong, the king of Xuanzhennan, to come to meet him.

The emperor summoned him, and Zheng Zhilong had to leave a lot of things behind and hurriedly came to the temporary palace.

Zhu Cijiong didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "The Dutch messenger is coming, it's that Fan Mendi, you go and meet him and send him away." “

Zheng Zhilong is really busy at this time, and it is conceivable how many things can be imagined for the transfer of grain, grass and materials for more than one million people, but as soon as he heard about the foreign envoy, he became energetic and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, do you want to talk to him, is it a bit unruly to let people get out of the way?" “

Zhu Cijiong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "It's your business to do what you want to do, I just asked you to send him away, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you talk to someone, you can do it." “

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately ran to arrange it, negotiating or something, he liked it the most.

Fan Mendi had arrived at Siming Mansion at this time, this was the first time he had entered the "inland" of the Ming Empire, what he saw and heard along the way really scared him, just a train he was scary enough, Daming actually had this kind of car that could move by himself, he really couldn't understand why this thing could run by itself. As soon as he entered Siming Mansion, the endless sea of tents scared him even more, how many Ming troops were gathered here, and the people in the entire Netherlands were probably not as many as the Ming army here!

However, he took a closer look at it later, it seemed that most of the tents were civilians, and he breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Ming Empire is really as Zheng Ji said, it is here to scare people, this sea of tents can indeed scare people to death from a distance, but after a closer look, it is clear that the Ming Empire is indeed scaring people.

It seems that the Ming Empire may not really want to fight, and he is more sure of scaring the Ming army away.

As soon as he got off the train, he was greeted not by the negotiators of the Ming Empire, but by a hundred-man phalanx of the Ming army, and he was not here to welcome him, and the leading officer actually asked him and his entourage to hand over all their weapons!

On other people's territory, he can only endure it, hand over the weapon, it's not a big deal, he is not here to fight, but to negotiate, it is the same with or without weapons.

After handing over their weapons, they were taken to a newly built building in the city, which looked a bit like a continental building, except for the lack of a spire.

When he arrived, all of his entourage was shut out, and he was the only one allowed to enter the building.

Fan Mendi was not afraid at all, when he was captured, he was alone in front of the Ming army empty-handed all day long, and he didn't see what the Ming army did to him, he was used to it, so he swaggered behind the Ming army officer who led the way, looking calm, as if he had returned to his own home!

The Ming officer led him to the outside of a large conference room, made a gesture of invitation inside, and then stood still at the door.

Knowing that this was the place to negotiate, Van Mendi cleared his throat, raised his head and strode inside.

There was only one person in the huge conference room, and this person was still his old acquaintance, Nicolai, the king of Zhennan of the Ming Empire, this guy used to be a translator and little pirate under Song Ke, the Dutch governor in the east, and now he is a prince, but he can't do it.

Fan Mendi still knows a little bit of negotiation skills, he came directly to Zheng Zhilong, sat down slowly, and then said coldly: "I heard that Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is also here, I want to talk to him in person." “

Zheng Zhilong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You are not qualified to talk to our emperor yet." “

Fan Mendi said solemnly: "I am the admiral of the United States of America!" “

Zheng Zhilong continued to say disdainfully: "Admiral, what a big official, this king has four personal guards, and they all poured footwashing water for this king before, and now all of them are admirals, do you also want to pour footwashing water for this king?" “

When Fan Mendi heard this, he said angrily: "You are insulting a high-ranking general of the United States of America, and I ask you to apologize." “

Zheng Zhilong's face was blank, and he said seriously: "This king is just talking about the facts, what insults are not insults, do you have anything, if you have something, just say it, this king is very busy." “

Fan Mendi provoked: "Can you represent your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire?" “

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Yes!" “

It was the emperor who asked him to come, and he didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Fan Mendi had no choice but to say solemnly: "Okay, now on behalf of the United States of America, I formally request that all the troops of the Ming Empire withdraw from the northern border of our ally Annan. “

Zheng Zhilong said equally seriously: "Annan is a vassal state of our Ming Empire, and this is the internal affairs of our Ming Empire, and you can't control it." “

Van Mendi rebuked: "You are violating the armistice. ”

Zheng Zhilong said inexplicably: "What is the violation of the armistice agreement, we are teaching our own subject country, what does it have to do with you Netherlands?" “

Van Mendi said sternly: "Your attack on our ally Annan is a violation of the armistice agreement. “

Zheng Zhilong did a very good job of preparing for the negotiations, he pushed the copy of the "Macao Treaty" that had been prepared in front of Fan Mendi, and said with the same sternness: "You look at it clearly, the treaty only stipulates that the Netherlands shall not attack the allies of the Ming Empire in the Far East, and does not stipulate that the Ming Dynasty shall not attack the allies of the Netherlands. Also, the treaty clearly stipulates that without the permission of the Ming Empire, no Dutch ship is allowed to sail into the southeast sea. “

Fan Mendi looked at the copy of the treaty, and it was really written like this, he couldn't help but curse Speke idiot, and then said nonsense: "Anyway, it is not right for your Ming Empire to attack our allies, and we have the right to send troops to intervene." “

Zheng Zhilong said disdainfully: "Your subordinates are defeated, if you insist on interfering in the internal affairs of our Ming Empire, our Ming Empire will not mind taking you prisoner with a boat again!" “

Fan Mendi couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and directly threatened: "Don't think that your Ming Empire is invincible, there are many powerful allies in our Netherlands, such as Britain, France, Denmark, and Sweden, just call one over and you can defeat your Ming Empire." “

Zheng Zhilong plucked out his ears and said disdainfully: "You go and shout, see if they dare to come to the Far East to start a war with our Ming Empire." “

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's attitude, Fan Mendi knew that there was nothing to talk about, so he stood up directly and said, "Then you wait and see." “

Then, turning around, he walked away in a rage, and a negotiation broke up.
