Sun Chengzong said: "One thousand taels of silver for death, four hundred to one thousand taels of silver for injuries, and three hundred taels of silver for others." It is limited to one month to be returned, and five taels of silver per person will be added one day later. ”

Natz secretly wondered how he could ask for so much silver, but now the focus was on trade, and these were all trivialities, so he also agreed. And it was proposed that most of the Ming people were in Penghu and could be sent back within five days to express the sincerity of the Dutch.

Only then did Sun Chengzong order someone to take the map and say: "This is Pishan Island, the northeast of the island is the Tongshan Institute, and the southwest is assigned to you." Fortifications can be built and garrisoned, but there must be no naval armies. ”

Natz was pleased with the place, but protested against the fact that there were no sailors: "We don't have a navy, how can we protect our merchant ships." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "You can deploy troops on the island, as for the safety of merchant ships at sea, isn't there a copper mountain?" We can keep you safe. ”

"Is it okay for our sailors to protect their merchant ships?" ”

Sun Chengzong smiled: "Of course you can, but our navy will sink any ship that sails into Penghu and the small sulfur ball area without permission, and I have to make this clear to you first." ”

Natz didn't care about this, although the Ming Dynasty navy defeated the invading Dutch in Penghu, but it was all a conspiracy, if the Dutch ships escorted the merchant ships in, I believe that the Ming Dynasty would never look for death to attack the Dutch. It can be seen that it is true that the technology of artillery and guns cannot be handed over to the Ming Dynasty.

So the basics were discussed, but Natz really couldn't decide everything, so he offered to go back to Batavia. Sun Chengzong was not in a hurry anyway, so he agreed, but asked him to release the Ming Dynasty people who had been plundered by Penghu first.

Natz returned to Penghu and exchanged views with Ryerson, who also believed that he could not hand over artillery and firearm technology to the Ming Dynasty, and sent the fastest boat to send him back to Java, and he sent a ship to send the Ming refugees from Penghu back to Xiamen, but did not mention compensation.

Natz returned to Batavia and briefed Governor Peter Kun on the basic state of the negotiations. The governor took the memo and read it carefully one by one, and after reading it, he said: "Shipbuilding and navigation can be given to the people of the Ming Dynasty, their merchants like to go to sea to do business, but their government is not willing to go to the sea at all, this thing will not change anything for them, besides, now that there are many Chinese ships running on the route from China to Batavia, do you still worry that they will travel all over the world like us?" I've heard that they all think that the sky is round and the earth is not yet there, so don't worry. ”

"Artillery and firearms technology must not be given to them, it will cause us trouble, let them continue to use broadswords, such a big country, such a large population, if they are as civilized as us, it will be a nightmare for the whole world. Let them sleep in their dreams. ”

"Pishan Island was originally intended to be occupied, but there were too many people on it to give up, and now a piece of land has been set aside, at least we have a base like the Portuguese. As for the tax rate, let it be theirs, their greedy officials do not know how much silver they have to scrape here, and there will not be much left in the hands of the poor emperor. ”

"There is no problem with the looted Ming people being put back, and there is no problem with compensation, so there is no need to oppose them in these trivial matters, but our navy must be able to escort its own merchant ships, otherwise the pirates will keep us busy in vain. Didn't they say that they were going to sink warships that entered a particular water area? Then let them come, and they will be quiet after a few nails. ”

Seeing that it was similar to what he was thinking, Natz hurriedly complimented: "Your Excellency the Governor is really far-sighted, then I will sign the agreement according to this meaning." ”

The governor smiled: "After the agreement is signed, it still depends on the strength in the end, after the agreement is signed, let Ryerson continue to escort merchant ships, but Penghu is still returned to the Ming Dynasty, this place is actually not suitable for being a base." ”

When Natz returned to Xiamen, he signed an agreement according to Sun Chengzong's wishes, paid compensation to the Ming people who had been plundered, and handed over the shipbuilding drawings, navigation techniques, and nautical charts to the Ming people. Sun Chengzong took them to Pishan Island, assigned them the place, and asked them to hire the Ming people to help them build the castle.

He then sent several sand boats from Xiamen to Batavia and Da Ni, Xiagang, Songkhla, Nakhon and other places to verify navigation and nautical charts. At this time, Ryerson led people to evacuate Penghu, and Sun Chengzong ordered people to be stationed.

Four months later, the ships sent everywhere returned, proving that the navigation and charts were correct. At this time, the Dutch castle had also been built, because Sun Chengzong specially organized some people to manage the people hired by the Dutch, which caused the Dutch to spend more money to complete the castle called Pishan.

Sun Chengzong allowed Natz to install artillery on the castle wall, but the side facing the copper mountain was not allowed to install it, and Natz's purpose of installing artillery was originally to deal with the sea, so he obeyed the arrangement.

Sun Chengzong built a tax inspection office on the side of the castle near the Tongshan Office, which was set up by the tax office directly. All merchants from the land, after being inspected, must pay a 10% commercial tax, and at the same time the quantity of goods is counted and collected 80% of the Dutch's commercial tax.

Natz sneered secretly, most of the merchants would come from the sea, if the Ming Dynasty only collected taxes from this land checkpoint, then the Dutch would make a lot of money.

However, his sneer quickly solidified on his face. Because the inspection ships of the Tongshan Institute began to cruise around Pishan Fort, and the inspection density was extremely high, so that there was no way for the merchant ships to escape the inspection. Moreover, a large number of smuggling merchants could not get close to Pishan Fort.

Natz lodged a protest with Sun Chengzong, of course on the grounds that the ship of the Inspection Department had interfered with the normal operation of merchant ships. Sun Chengzong said: "In that case, let's check it again at the dock." “

Natz had no choice but to agree to set up an inspection department on the pier of the castle, composed of people from the Copper Mountain Office and the Tax Department, to collect taxes from ships arriving at sea.

At this time, Ryerson was cruising in the open sea, and when he came across a Chinese ship, he ordered them to stop, and then only allowed them to sail to Batavia. After receiving the news that the goods of Natz had been loaded, they swaggered to Pishan Island.

Sun Chengzong ordered someone to call Natz and said, "Didn't you say that we were responsible for protecting the safety of merchant ships?" Why did your ships sail into this area as well? “
