Song Ke looked at them one by one, and the expression on his face calmed down.

In fact, this treaty is much more lenient than originally thought!

It seems that the people on Hutchison's side still know in their hearts that the fleet of the East India Company is seriously damaged, and it can be regarded as a big loss, but the foundation is still there, the warships are gone, and it is still possible to raise dozens of armed merchant ships.

It's really urgent, another naval battle, beware of sailboats, it may not be impossible to win.

Even if you can't win, if you keep fighting like this, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the East India Company's performance this year will be over, but how much better can Hutchison be?

That is, the first one must not be agreed, Taiwan and the place that Governor Cohen is interested in, has great potential, and the location is quite important, which ship coming from the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, which one does not pass through the Taiwan Strait and Penghu?

Whether it is to replenish fresh water or rest, or to take shelter from the wind and avoid pirates, Taiwan's geographical location is quite suitable, there is such a place, you can sit on the benefits of trade with China, but also control trade with Japan, this is a golden treasure land!

Of course, Penghu is more mature and has a better location, otherwise the Dutch would not have sought to seize Penghu first, and retreated to Taiwan.

After having Taiwan, I found that it was a treasure land, Penghu is a small place, the wind is strong, there are only low stone houses, and it is not easy to grow grain, only to grow some beans and vegetables, the people's grain is brought from Fujian, and generally only fishermen are resident on the island.

After the Dutch attacked, the imperial court knew that Penghu was important, so it began to set up a permanent garrison.

Taiwan is different, the place is large, the seaside is flat, the climate is pleasant, it is very suitable for planting all kinds of cash crops, plus there are many fish and beasts, especially the wild deer herd is very huge, the whole Taiwan is so big, there are only about 100,000 natives, there are few people and many beasts, the Dutch take the forced natives to fight wild deer everywhere, roast venison to eat will vomit, deer skins are sold at most 100,000 pieces a year, this is the highest record of the Dutch East India Company, you can imagine how huge the deer herd is in Taiwan in this era.

Such a good place, Hutchison wants to let it out, although he was mentally prepared in advance, Song Ke obviously can't accept it.

"Other terms can be negotiated, we are here in good faith." Song Ke said: "It is absolutely impossible to give up the territory that the big man and the territory we have opened up. We can live together peacefully, and we don't have to fight and kill. ”

Li Pingzhi almost laughed out loud, the colonists in these years talked about peace, and they didn't want to fight and kill, it was really a weasel singing a happy song to the chicken, how funny it was.

"On the side of the couch, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly." Zheng Zhilong said directly in Dutch: "Other terms can still be discussed, and the castle that the big man and you built will not be negotiable!" ”

"There are no other terms to negotiate!" Li Pingzhi glanced at Zheng Zhilong dissatisfied, although this guy is cheating, but it is too easy to leak out the old bottom of his side, and he is too imprudent to do things.

Zheng Zhilong knew that he was a little Meng Lang, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was still deceived by the appearance of the Dutchman, and he didn't notice anything abnormal.

On the side of the marching division, of course, it is impossible to really expect the Dutch to withdraw...... The temper of the colonists is to swallow it, don't expect to spit it out, besides, in terms of strength, the Dutch are still a little higher than the marching division, and the strength is not as good as the people, these colonists are not easy to deal with, not to mention that their strength is indeed a little stronger?

Today, there is such a big scene, the army is unveiled, the soldiers are strong, the workshop, the artillery, the ship yard, all kinds of plans, so that the Dutch have seen it all over, why? Isn't it enough to add leverage to the negotiations?

This is also the death of the Dutch themselves, Hutchison has already prepared to negotiate with him, but Song Ke and they came over first, how could Chang Wei and Li Pingzhi let go of this opportunity?

Of course, it is to seize all the favorable things, first take the lead psychologically, and give the Dutch a head shot, and then the conditions are of course very harsh, and the most crucial one is to monopolize Taiwan, and it is also to show Hutchison's attitude towards the big man that he is bound to win. In fact, the fight for the big man is just a smokescreen, the Dutch in order to ensure that the big man and the city of Geranza are okay, and the other terms will not be too serious, and it is precisely those terms that do not suffer much to ensure the vigorous development of Hutchison, in the words of Dezhnev, as long as the Hutchison military department can ensure that the wood is continuously sent, and the iron and sails are enough, two years later, Hutchison's fleet will be an invincible existence in Asia, and at that time, dozens of large warships will be released to the open sea of the Dayuan, what can the Dutch do? What if there is a treaty, when it is signed, it is used to tear it up...... Don't say that Europeans value treaties, it also depends on what kind of treaties they are, and there are not too many things about the great powers tearing up the treaties......

"In any case, without amending Article 1, negotiations cannot proceed." Song Ke is also very simple, this time is not top, the momentum is soft, the negotiation is really a surrender, thinking that the shore has been pinched by this group of Chinese until now, it is simply angry, at this time the momentum is up, but it is really a bit awe-inspiring.

It's a pity that Li Pingzhi is not easy to get along with, so he just stood up and said loudly: "There is no need to talk about the first article, there is no need for this negotiation to continue, and you can return to the senior staff now." ”

"And what do you want?" Song Ke didn't expect to break up, and immediately said angrily: "If you want to negotiate?" ”

"Negotiation is negotiation." Li Pingzhi slapped the table and shouted: "We negotiate, you are here to sign, if you want to succeed, sign now, sign, sign!" ”

……

"My God," Sun Jingting observed the situation in the room through the window, turned his head to Chang Wei and said, "Is this the same style that Li Pingzhi usually does in the Marching Division?" ”

"Of course not." Chang Wei and Sun Jingting walked a few steps away before they burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, Chang Weicai said: "This is Li Pingzhi's intention, negotiation skills, first arrange some scenes for these Hongyi to see, and then use words to grasp, these people will think that we really want a big man." ”

Chang Wei snorted coldly and said, "I won't want a big man now, and I can't take it if I do." The next step is to wait for the warships to get out of the water, and in a year's time, the sailing ships will not be used, but our bird ships and fireships will be more, and we will be invincible in the coastal seas, and in the open sea, we will have at least twelve schooners of more than 400 tons to more than 600 tons in two years, and ten Galen ships of 600 tons, plus thirty armed merchant ships, what about the East India Company? Within two years, the strength is not as good as half of us, and if we fight again, we will have one less to make up for one, they are coming from afar in our country, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, at most two years, we have to take it down! In five years, take their Batavia and reap the benefits! ”

Although Chang Wei did not slap the table, his tone was also sonorous and powerful, with a tossing confidence and strong confidence.

If self-confidence is based on strength, it is even more convincing and admirable.

Fortunately, he was opposite Sun Jingting, Sun Jingting just smiled when he listened, but there were not too many signs of false fire rising.

"How much does the East India Company make in a year?"

The financial system is under the leadership of Sun Jingting, at this moment Sun Daren is not very concerned about the turf or something, in terms of territory, Taiwan is just about the same size as Datong Mansion, but the grassland territory that Hutchison has in the north is at least fifty Taiwanese, and there will be more and bigger territories in the future.

"I'll settle the account for Brother Xiaozheng." Thinking of the huge wealth, Chang Wei also rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.

"The East India Company has thirty-five colonies in Asia, the largest and most stable being Batavia, and the Taiwan side has just arrived. But it has been operating in Taiwan for many years, and now the warehouse has gradually moved to the city of Geranza, and when it moved to the warehouse, we found that the porcelain from Jingdezhen alone was 890,000 pieces. There are more than 100,000 quintals of raw silk and hundreds of thousands of catties of tea. Japan ranked first and Taiwan ranked second, and the profit they shipped back to China last year was 300,000 guilders and worth 700,000 taels of silver, which was less than 20 percent of Taiwan's total profit. Their company not only transports our raw silk, tea, porcelain, but also pottery and gold, and sells not only our freight to Europe, but also raw silk to Japan, and Japanese goods to us, and at the same time sells Ceylon's spices, pepper, linen, cotton, tin, and gold to various countries in Japan or back to Europe, and they sell metals and medicinal materials to various countries, as well as various industrial products. Last year, the company sold 3 million pieces of porcelain to Annam, Burma, Ceylon, India, Persia, and Arabia, and the total profit in a year exceeded 5 million taels! ”

Sun Jingting's eyebrows fluttered when he heard it, and he was about to scream happily.

What is a turnaround, this is a turnaround!

At this time, he felt happy and surrendered to Zhang Han's layout in Taiwan several years in advance, and the last doubt in his heart disappeared without a trace.

With a net profit of at least five or six million silver a year, plus the original income of Taiwan's military division, that is, in about two to five years, Taiwan's income may be equal to or even exceed the total income of the military division.

At that time, the annual income of 145 million yuan a year is several million taels more than that of the Ming Dynasty......

Sun Jingting felt that he was a little bad, his head was a little dizzy, and he felt a little unable to stand.

"The intelligence work of Taiwan's marching division is doing a good job." Sun Jingting calmed down and praised the military intelligence department of the marching division.

"Jiang Kui is in charge of this matter, and He Bin was transferred to the military intelligence department at the end of last year and helped Jiang Kui a lot." Chang Wei smiled and commented: "He Bin was originally a delicate and cautious character, he stayed in Hirado and Luzon for many years, and he also went to Batavia, he is familiar with people, and he has many connections, so it is very convenient to master intelligence work. ”

This chapter is a bit of a Japanese feeling of shouting at Li Zhongtang to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, if only there was such a scene in history.
