The news of the arrival of the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate made the local travelers excited for a while, and the Portuguese forced Japan to sign the Edo Treaty, which would have been a fishy smell for anyone who had read recent history, after all, Japan was not very friendly to most people in the country.

If you don't think about it from other aspects, you can say that Japan has caused a lot of harm to China in the history of aggression at the beginning, so when I heard that he had signed an unequal treaty, I couldn't mention how happy I was.

After all, this treaty is about Australia's interests, and even Australia's interests are higher than Portugal's, which is the most exciting part.

The signing of the Edo Treaty benefited Australia very much, not to mention anything else, and in the future, Australian goods entering the Japanese market no longer had to deal with the Zheng family, but could be sold by themselves.

This will greatly reduce an unnecessary expense, and at the same time the profit will increase, which is a good thing for Australians, but not for the Zheng family, the Zheng family does not have such an advantage, whether it can still become a distributor of Australian goods still needs to be discussed.

The most important thing is that Zheng Hongkui's previous proposal to exchange the Japanese market is also invalid, and now Australia does not need them to provide such help, and can completely rely on its own way to do it.

So here Zheng Hongkui received a church from the Australian diplomatic department before he left, and General Wu Zhengdao told him everything that happened in the Far East, which surprised him very much, and he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the Australians would have the same treatment as the Zheng family in Japan.

Uncle, how did the Australians gain the right to trade with Japan, did their fleet go to attack.

Zheng Sen looked curious, and expressed interest in how Australians could obtain trade rights, after all, it was a very interesting question for him to study.

It was the Portuguese who opened the door to Japan, and Australia gained the right to trade without sending troops.

Zheng Hongkui knew that now that the Zheng family's advantage in Japan was gone, he had to hurry back to discuss with his eldest brother how to choose, or come up with a better way to cooperate with the Australians.

After all, for them, Australia's weapon superiority was very obvious, as can be seen from the Portuguese attack on Edo.

"Australia's artillery is indeed powerful, Oki, maybe you are right to stay here to study, this time the Grape Man only used two warships to open the door of Japan, what does this mean, do you know?"

It shows that the firearms of the Australians played a huge role in the battle, Zheng Hongkui is very aware of the strength of those grape dignitaries in Macau, and their strength is actually the weakest among the Fanbangyi people, it is such a group of people, relying on Australia's firearms to directly defeat Japan, which has to make people fall into thinking.

Therefore, it is necessary to obtain Australian firearms, and long-term supply is a must, and even Zheng Hongkui has an idea that if the Zheng family obtains such Australian weapons, it will play an important role in whether it is to compete for the Central Plains or to enter Japan and establish itself as king.

"Uncle Damu will set off back to Daming tomorrow, discuss everything here with your father, I believe he will definitely come up with a solution, you will study hard here, learn all the methods of the Australians, and it will definitely be useful in the future."

In fact, in the entire Zheng family, Zheng Hongkui is still relatively open, not conservative, if a person engaged in intelligence work is too conservative, it is not suitable for this job, after all, intelligence contact is likely to touch a lot of things that he can't think of.

Back to Daming to inform Zheng Zhilong of what he saw and heard, after all, Lao Zheng was still needed to get ideas in the big aspects, and Zheng Hongkui could only give him a reference opinion.

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will study hard in Australia, and strive to learn the skills of Australians as soon as possible, you just wait for me to return from my studies."

Zheng Sen is confident that the Australians will be trained in a new style, learn well, and go back to restructure the Zheng family's army, as for the navy, he feels that the Australians are not much stronger than the Zheng family, they rely on the advanced weapons, this point he really did not misjudge, after all, the Zheng family is a pirate monk, to say that the experience of naval warfare is much greater than Australia.

In this case, Zheng Sen did not apply for the Australian Naval Academy, but chose the Army, which is the weakness of the Zheng family.

At first, he wanted to stay in Australia, Zheng Hongkui still said that he did not agree, but now he fully agrees, the main reason is that he has received a change in the situation in the Far East, and the Australians have done it all at once, which makes him a little unacceptable.

Even if you can't accept it, you have to face it, this is a fact, so you still have to go back immediately and tell the eldest brother about the situation here, and it is up to him to decide.

Zheng Hongkui submitted his resignation, and hoped to take an Australian merchant ship to Daming, after all, the speed of taking a steamship is much faster, for him, time is money, if you don't hurry up at this time, then there is really no chance to cooperate with Australia.

The initiative is already in the hands of Australia, and he wants to know what the attitude of the Zheng family is now.

In response to his request, the Australian side agreed, and contacted the merchant ship for him, and said that Zheng Sen's safety in Australia can definitely be guaranteed, which is beyond doubt.

Zheng Sen also knew what was the main reason why his uncle was in such a hurry to go back, so he didn't say anything else, just asked him to take care of himself all the way, and took him to say hello to his father.

got on the boat, Zheng Hongkui's heart was full of thoughts, and he was also thinking about how to cooperate with Australia next.

At the same time, the executive committee is also discussing this issue, although the Zheng family's advantage in Japan is gone, the power in the Ming Dynasty exists, and he is one of the largest separatist forces in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the only commander with his own fleet.

There are not many people like him, and it is impossible to completely break off cooperation with them, after all, the tea and silk exported by Fujian are also quite large, these things are needed by Australia, and there is a market controlled by the Zheng family in the mainland, which can be exchanged, after all, the Zheng family has nothing to exchange, except for these, others may not be what Australia wants.

The production of Australian goods is to find buyers, if you want to have buyers, you must have a market, Daming is one of the largest markets in Australia, but the internal forces are complex, making it difficult for Australia to move forward, and can only rely on some local forces, the Zheng family's power in the mainland is still large, and it can also be relied on.
