"Thank you!" Putmans was polite and authentic. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Better, huh?" Wang Jaejin kept smiling as always.
Looking at Wang Zaijin's smile, Putmans couldn't help but have some hairs standing up, he felt that Wang Zaijin was looking at him like a legendary devil, but now that he was a fish, he had no ability to resist at all, and Putmans finally nodded helplessly.
"In this case, I won't say anything superfluous, this is the truce agreement issued by my Da Ming, you can take a look!" After Wang Zaijin finished speaking, he glanced at the guard on the side, and the guard handed a document to Putmans, who took it and opened it very unsolicited, and as he expected, these terms were simply a shame for the Netherlands, and he saw that it was written:
1. The Netherlands apologized to the Ming State and compensated all the losses of the Ming army in this battle, including all the losses of the Ming army caused by the previous Dutch sneak attack, and also had to pay an additional war indemnity of 5 million taels of silver and 500,000 taels of gold to the Ming Kingdom;
2. The Netherlands withdrew from Taiwan, and at the same time handed over all the territories occupied in the West to the Ming Dynasty; (A map drawn by the imperial court is attached)
3. The Netherlands dedicated all the route maps found today to the Ming Dynasty;
"Just three! Not much, right? Wang Zaijin said with a smile.
Putmans almost squirted out all the tea he had just drunk after hearing this, if he signed it, he might be escorted back to Holland to be hanged the next day, Putmans tried to control his emotions, and gently put down the paperwork and said: "Governor Wang!" I'm so sorry! I can't call the shots on this! And I don't think we're going to agree to such harsh conditions! β
"Harsh?! This governor looks reasonable, the first is a matter of course, and the second is that the countries of the South China Sea are originally vassals of my Ming Dynasty, and as the suzerain, we have the responsibility to protect them! Number three: If you agree! I can consider trading with you! β
Putmans was silent, because he knew that it was useless to say anything now, and seeing Putmans' reaction, Wang Zaijin continued to smile and said, "You can think about it!" Also, even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, we will blast you out with artillery, in addition to the current Taiwan, there is also the rest of the Java region, as well as the vicinity, and the Manchurian area, the Governor has the confidence to defeat you, and the armistice agreement at that time is not just these three! β
Putmans was shocked after hearing this, he thought that the Ming Kingdom would just stop at this battle, but he didn't expect the Ming Kingdom to stretch out his hand so long now, he could be regarded as having seen the strength of the Ming Kingdom's warships, and even the fleet like Zheng Zhilong was bombed into scum in front of the Ming Kingdom fleet every minute, not to mention their Dutch fleet in Asia? What's more, although the current situation in the Netherlands is on the rise and developing steadily, there are still a lot of hidden dangers in the secret, and it is impossible for the Netherlands to concentrate the strength of the whole country to confront the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty.
"That's it! With that said, go back and think about it, and then tell the Governor about your decision, oh! That's right! Maybe some of your companions will be coming in the next two or three days! When the time comes, you can discuss it together! Wang Zaijin said with a smile.
Putmans was stunned for a moment, and said a little stunned: "Is your fleet going to Taiwan?" β
"No comment on this! Leave! I believe you will make the right decision! Wang Zaijin said with a smile, then waved his hand, and the guard immediately came to Putmans' side and said, "Please!"
Looking at Putmans, who was a little decadent and went out, Zou Weilian looked at Wang Zaijin and said, "Governor Wang! Will they agree to this? β
Wang Zaijin looked at Zou Weilian and said with a smile: "They have to agree if they don't agree!" That's right! How is Zheng Zhilong? β
"No problem! Hurt a little! It's good to recuperate! Zou Weilian said.
"He still has merit for this battle! I'm still going to report it! It's also a γγγγγ Wang Zaijin shook his head.
"Although he has an attack in this battle! However, in this battle, the warships of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Dynasty were lost, and if it were not for the arrival of the Governor Wang's fleet this time, then this sea area would be γγγγγγ in the future Zou Weilian didn't continue.
Wang Zaijin waved his hand and said: "No matter what, they are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the work of compensating and pacifying Governor Lao Zou is gone!" After saying that, he arched his hand.
"Where did Governor Wang say! This is what I should do! Zou Weilian returned the salute.
At this time, in a big house far away from the county office, several big men were gathering together to discuss something.
"Big brother! How are you? Zheng Zhihu looked at Zheng Zhilong and said.
"No problem! It's good to raise it! Zheng Zhilong waved his hand weakly.
Then Zheng Zhilong looked at Yang Geng and said, "Yang Geng! What's going on now? β
"Now half of the sailors of the imperial court have left Hong Kong, and according to the information sent back, they are going to Taiwan! The other half is temporarily stationed here! Yang Genghui reported.
"To Taiwan?!" Zheng Zhilong frowned after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "The original Taiwan was an overseas barbaric land that the imperial court looked down on, but now it seems that the imperial court has taken a fancy to this land!" The sailors of the imperial court should have gone to clear the remnants of the Dutch forces, and maybe even the Spaniards would be driven out! Then he looked at Zheng Ming and said, "What about the loss of our warship?" β
Zheng Ming saw Zheng Zhilong asking himself, one face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and the others also showed a bitter look, and then one by one they changed from bitterness to anger, only to hear Zheng Zhihu roar: "Big brother! The main force of our fleet is still intact except for three warships, and the others are sinking and destroying, not to mention fighting, even if they go to sea! More than half of the brothers were killed or wounded! The strength is greatly damaged! β
Zheng Zhilong almost didn't have a recurrence of the wound after hearing this, but just squirted out a mouthful of blood, and several people around him hurriedly went up to support Zheng Zhilong, "Who led the imperial court sailor?" β
"Wang Zaijin, that bastard!" Zheng Zhihu gritted his teeth and said.
"When this man first came, I knew that he was not simple, but I also had to admire him, in our self-deprecating status, starting from the most humble position, diligent and inquisitive, even if we don't teach him, he will also study by himself, and he also knows how to build a good relationship with our people, it is really γγγγγγ Alas! Chen Hui sighed.
"Are there any other moves?" Zheng Zhilong asked.
Everyone shook their heads, and Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly: "It seems that the imperial court has not done anything desperate, so it is better to take care of some feelings!" β
"Big brother! Can't we just swallow this breath? Even if you agree, I don't agree! The brethren disagreed! You're right?! Zheng Zhihu looked at the others.
"That's right! A numb target! We're not soft persimmons! Zheng Zhibao also agreed.
"What do you want? Now that our main force has been wiped out, the brothers under our men are dead and wounded, and they have no strength to fight anymore! Zheng Cai said at this time.
"Zheng Cai! You're a bitch! Zheng Zhihu scolded.
"Zheng Cai is right! Toilet! You give me peace of mind! If you yell like this again, maybe the people from Zhongxingwei will come in in a while! Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhihu and said.
"I'm afraid of an egg! They dared to come in and chop them with a knife! Zheng Zhihu salivaed.
"Big brother! What are we going to do? Zheng Ming asked.
Zheng Zhilong didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Zhihu and asked, "Have you seen Wang Zaijin?" What did he say? β
"Big brother! Don't mention that bastard, he is a bastard, ungrateful, saying that he was the one who caught Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu, saying that they confessed that we were going to betray the court, big brother, you said, he was not talking nonsense, if it wasn't for someone around him at the time, Lao Tzu would have chopped him with a knife! Zheng Zhihu said indignantly.
Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded and said, "Okay!" I know! You guys go out, let me think about it alone, and don't make trouble for me during this time, understand? β
"Big brother!" Zheng Zhihu shouted.
"That's it! Let's go! Big Brother has just woken up now! Don't toss! Zheng Ming pulled Zheng Zhihu and said.
"Alas!" Zheng Zhihu flicked his sleeves angrily, and then went out.
"Big brother! You pay attention to the body! Let's go out first! Several people said at the same time, and then walked out slowly one by one, watching them go out, Zheng Zhilong fell into deep thought, he wanted to think of a way out for himself and for the brothers.
And Puttmans, who is also troubled by Zheng Zhilong, is also pondering, and he is also pondering why, for the way out of the Kingdom of the Netherlandsγγγγγγ
