As for the request to protect the Ming expatriates in Batavia, there is no reason why neither Waite, as the chief envoy, nor Anthony van Dimen, who is from the Batavia headquarters and is Watavia's deputy this time, should not agree.

In the past two years, there has indeed been an increase in the number of Chinese immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty to Batavia, which has aroused the worries of some high-level figures of the Dutch East India Company.

However, these Chinese from the Ming Dynasty are hardworking, capable, and willing to endure hardships, and they are indeed a better group of laborers than the local Javanese natives.

Therefore, in general, the influx of a large number of Chinese immigrants is a situation in which the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the colonial authorities of Batavia, at least for the time being.

As for what to do in the future, that's not something that Waite and Anthony van Diemen can decide on this trip.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen took this opportunity to make such a request was because he knew that in future history, with the great increase in the number of Chinese going to Nanyang, these Western colonists raised their butcher's knives against Chinese immigrants many times in various parts of Nanyang.

This was true of the Spanish colonial authorities in Manila, Luzon, and the same was true of the Dutch colonial authorities in Batavia, Java.

Emperor Chongzhen asked the Dutch to protect the local Ming diaspora, which means that even if these people leave the borders of the Ming Dynasty, they are still the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen certainly knew that before the naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty could reach Manila and Batavia, this request he made might not actually have much effect at all.

However, he still had to make this request to the Dutch as soon as possible.

Because of this life, he lifted the policy of banning the sea in the first year of Chongzhen, so there were many people in Fujian and Guangdong who were able to go to the sea to make a living, and the number of them going to the South Seas was much more than the original number in history.

And because of the relatively relaxed relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch, the number of people who went to Batavia from the land of Fujian and Guangdong to Batavia was also much higher than in history.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen is really uncertain whether the Dutch colonial authorities in Batavia will do anything to the Chinese who go to Nanyang, or even whether they will do it years in advance.

Fortunately, in this life, because the Dutch joined forces with the Zheng family's army, they eradicated the Spanish power on Dongfan Island more than ten years in advance, and completely tore their faces with the Spanish colonial authorities in the Far East in advance, so that the Dutch Viceroyalty of Batavia had to concentrate on guarding against the retaliation of the Spaniards.

Therefore, for some of the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, they can't help but agree to it at the moment.

At least their existence on Dongfan Island now no longer depends on themselves, but on their relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

It was during the war to expel the Spaniards that the top management of the Dutch East India Company was very surprised to find that the Chinese army on the land of Dongfandao, that is, the Zheng family army under Zheng Zhilong, had an overwhelming advantage over the Dutch in terms of numbers, morale, equipment and combat strength.

At least apart from the large warships, the Dutch had little advantage over the Ming Dynasty army on Dongfan.

This is also the fundamental reason why they wanted to move the Governor's Palace to the city of San Lorenzo on the east coast of Dongfan Island (later the Suao area of Yilan, Taiwan).

At the same time, this is also the reason why after they reached an agreement with Zheng Zhilong, they also had to go north to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and reconfirm the terms of the agreement with the Ming Dynasty's Li Fan Yuan and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The Dutch are not stupid, especially the current governor of Dongfan, Bideno, who has traveled to and from the Ming Dynasty, has been keenly aware of Zheng Zhilong's power on Dongfan Island, which is different from the Ming court.

Zheng Zhilong is Zheng Zhilong, and he has a delicate relationship with the Beijing court of the Ming Dynasty.

And after realizing this, Bi Denuo, who was afraid of Zheng Zhilong's forces, soon realized that if the agreement between them and Zheng Zhilong could be personally confirmed by the Ming court and even His Majesty the Ming Emperor, then this confirmation itself was a kind of restriction on Zheng Zhilong.

At the same time, the existence of the Dutch itself is also a constraint on Zheng Zhilong's power.

Bideno, the red-haired cabinet, guessed the intricate relationships in the Ming Dynasty.

However, it was precisely because of this that Biednow became the most active advocate of cooperation with the Ming Dynasty among the high-ranking figures of the Dutch East India Company in the Far East.

Based on this understanding, Biedno also wrote a letter urging the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia to continue to fund the jihad cause of the Jesuits in the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty, led by Candinius.

This time, Waite's deputy, Anthony van Dimen from Batavia, was tasked with a second tranche of funds from the Dutch East India Company to be delivered to the Jesuit chiefs in China and to serve as military commanders of the Jesuit security corps in Condinius.

In this regard, of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not object.

After receiving Waite and others, he did not wait for the Zhengdan Dynasty to be held, and ordered the Imperial Court to issue documents to Anthony Van Dimen and others for the passage of Xuanda and the various passes in the Hezhong area.

Jean Anthony van Diemen hired a team of mules and horses and a guide in Beijing, and under the escort of a team of Jinyi guards, he followed the half-paved Jingxi Post Road with cement and concrete, all the way to the west, out of Juyong Pass.

At the same time, Anthony van Dimentkamanda (Lieutenant Commander), a Dutch aristocratic officer, was also asked to take the place of the German missionary John Tong, and let John Tang return to continue to participate in the compilation of the Chongzhen almanac.

In addition to the envoys of the Dutch, on the eve of the Zhengdan Dynasty in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the people who rushed to Beijing were also envoys of the Korean State and tribute envoys of the Tsushima Domain.

And this time, among the people who came to the Ming Jingshi with the Korean envoys, there were also North Korean lifters who were jointly selected by Zhang Pu, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, and the Korean Hongwen Museum, a total of twenty-one people.

The number of Korean scholars who initially passed the Hongbunkan selection examination was as high as 72 in total.

However, after Zhang Pu, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the court, led the people of Fulin Academy and personally inspected it, there were only twenty-one people left.

The eight articles written by these people can be affirmed by Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Zhou Zhong, Sun Chun and others, and they can also be regarded as the so-called leaders in today's Korean Shilin.

Together with these selected Korean princes, among the people who arrived in Beijing to prepare for the fourth spring of Chongzhen, they naturally included Zhang Cai, Zhou Zhong, Sun Chun, and Li Wen, who were in the Korean Fulin Academy while lecturing and studying.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was disgusted with these famous people who only knew the rhetoric of the Restoration Society in the original history, he could not blatantly deprive them of their qualifications to participate in the fourth year of Chongzhen's Spring Festival.

I'm even afraid that I have to pinch my nose and absorb them into the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

Just like in the Enke of the first year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen had to pinch his nose to pull a figure like Zhang Pu into the bureaucratic ranks of the Ming Dynasty.

Because leaving figures like them outside the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty is more dangerous and destructive.

And after getting them into the ranks of the bureaucracy, the future and fate of these people are almost completely in the hands of the emperor.

Whether it is in the northwest or outside the border, including the far southwest, there are vacant county positions everywhere.

When they get into the Jinshi, give them a three-rank fellow Jinshi background, and if they are unaware, they will be given a Jinshi background at most.

Then, with a little manipulation of the distribution list reported by the ministry, they could be placed in a remote outlying place where they could no longer play their inciting role.

If some of them are really capable of doing things, they will emerge in a few years.

If they still want to only know how to talk about it like in history, then they are waiting to spend their lives in all kinds of wilderness.

If they pass the Jinshi examination, but do not obey the arrangement of the imperial court, it is tantamount to piercing the face of hypocrites, and in the future, they will naturally lose the demagogic and demagogic nature of the previous life based on morality.

In this way, the great harm of these people will be automatically eliminated.

Of course, one day in the future, when these people have the experience of lecturing overseas, they can naturally use this as an excuse to install a permanent envoy on them, just as Zhang Pu was sent to Korea, and then send them to Burma, Annam, Laos, Siam, as well as Uszang, Tsushima, and even Karaqin, Duolun, Kulun and other vassal countries and foreign vassals to spread Confucianism.

Also because of Emperor Chongzhen's secret calculations at this time, Zhou Zhong, the last champion of the Chongzhen Dynasty in history, had neither the twists and turns of repeated trials, nor the glory of winning the champion in the end, and at the same time, there was no chance to surrender and break into the army after the death of the Ming Dynasty.
