A few days later, Zheng Zhilong and Spex held a second peace talks.

These days, Zheng Zhilong has received Zhu Youzhen's flying pigeon biography, and he has the bottom in his heart.

Zhu Youzhen not only gave the general direction of the peace talks, but also ordered him to send a small fleet to cross the Malacca waterway, along the west coast of the Malay Peninsula, and enter Daguang in Burma Province.

As soon as the peace talks with the Dutch are over, thirty percent of the ships and personnel will be immediately separated from the South China Sea Fleet and stationed in Daguang, where the Ming Dynasty has already established a province in Burma and the port of Daguang in southern Burma is ready to meet the South China Sea Fleet.

The ships have been dispatched, and Zheng Zhilong is now lightly armed, and the only thing he has to do is to fight with the Dutch for the ownership of the four disputed islands.

"Your Excellency the Governor, have you already discussed it with the shareholders?" As soon as Zheng Zhilong sat down, he asked Speix with a smile, and his eyes were as kind as a gentleman for several generations.

"As long as Commander Zheng shows your sincerity, the peace talks will definitely go on." Spex, following Zheng Zhilong's example, also played Tai Chi.

"So you haven't discussed it yet? So what else is there to talk about? Zheng Zhilong leaned back, leaned back in the chair, and his sitting posture was not upright at all, "Since there is no unified opinion among you, in my opinion, let's go back, reorganize our respective armaments, and make second-hand preparations as soon as possible." ”

"Who says we don't have a common opinion?" Spex was irritated by Zheng Zhilong's contemptuous attitude, "All the employees of the East India Company are true to their word, unlike some people who ......"

Zheng Zhilong is not angry, I am a pirate, who am I afraid of? "Now that you've discussed it, tell me what your attitude is?"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Spex had to take the lead in showing some of his hole cards, "Sulawesi can give you, the Southeast Islands will give you half, and the eastern half, but the western half belongs to the East India Company, and in addition, the Spice Islands and Borneo must all belong to the East India Company." ”

He also estimated that Zheng Zhilong would not accept this plan, if Zheng Zhilong proposed to assign the entire Southeast Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty, then he would be thankful, he already knew that Zheng Zhilong had been to Pontianak, that was what he was most worried about, so he was in a hurry to hold a second peace talks with Zheng Zhilong, so as not to cause Zheng Zhilong to cause any trouble.

The East India Company had poured so much effort and fortune into Borneo that even the small nations on the island had been destroyed, and if these trading bases were lost in his hands, he would be a sinner of the East India Company.

Zheng Zhilong leaned back in the chair, already napping slightly, when Spex spoke, he just raised his eyes once, and then there was no reaction, it seemed that Spex was not talking peace, but playing a lullaby.

"Commander Zheng......" Spex was stunned, Zheng Zhilong, what's wrong? Although he knew that Zheng Zhilong still wouldn't agree to his plan, and he was even ready to quarrel with Zheng Zhilong, isn't that the way the peace talks are? In the step-by-step compromise between the two sides, a happy result was finally reached, but now Zheng Zhilong is like a ball of cotton, so that Spex has nowhere to quarrel if he wants to.

Spex already felt that Zheng Zhilong's ball of cotton contained an unknown poisonous needle, which could give his opponent a fatal blow at any time.

"Your Excellency the Governor is not sincere!" Zheng Zhilong shook his head slightly, his eyes still narrowed into a slit, "I'm already very sincere, at least I've said my true thoughts - if the peace talks can't solve the ownership of the island, it will be settled by the ships of both sides." ”

"...... you" Spex was speechless for a while, why did Zheng Zhilong have the idea of war from time to time during the peace talks? Does he really have no desire to continue peace talks? Is this what he really thinks? He looked up at Zheng Zhilong's face, but Zheng Zhilong seemed to be asleep and couldn't see any expression.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly opened his mouth, "Your Excellency the Governor, show your sincerity, I am not a diplomat, nor a businessman, I don't like bargaining, I am a straightforward person, we both have to recognize the situation, and then make our own judgments, if we can talk, we can talk, if we can't talk, we will make other plans in advance." ”

"Recognize the situation?" Spexes was speechless for a while, he just recognized the situation too well, so he chose to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, if it was replaced by Portugal and Spain, the ghost would be willing to negotiate peace, and directly send the navy to destroy it.

"If it's not that the shareholders of the East India Company didn't recognize the situation, or His Excellency the Governor didn't convey the shareholders' intentions well," Zheng Zhilong still looked unhappy, sad, shocked or angry, "Your Excellency the Governor, we are all very busy - you are busy making money, I am busy fighting, sitting here and talking about it is a waste of our lives. ”

"That'...... What exactly does Commander Zheng plan to be satisfied? "One will be a gentleman, one will be a scoundrel, one will be the eldest brother who seems to be earnestly taught, and another will be a devilish shameless greed, Spex really can't figure out which one is the real Zheng Zhilong.

"I've already expressed what I mean," Zheng Zhilong straightened up suddenly, "Since His Excellency the Governor is forgetful, then I'll repeat it, pay attention, it's a restatement." ”

"Commander Zheng, please." Although Spex knew that Zheng Zhilong would not have any new ideas, he still wanted Zheng Zhilong to stretch out his hand and motioned for Zheng Zhilong to continue.

"In case His Excellency the Governor is forgetful again, I'll say it one by one," Zheng Zhilong's eyes were all on Spex's face, reminding him not to suffer from amnesia again, "The Southeast Islands and Sulawesi, the Ming and the Netherlands each account for half, of course, for the convenience of management, I suggest that the two sides take one of each, and divide the geographical location of An, Sulawesi belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the Southeast Islands belong to the Netherlands." ”

"......" Spex nodded slightly, and Zheng Zhilong finally said a human word.

"The Spice Islands belong to the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong's next words made Spexs scold his father again.

"This is absolutely not good, the spices, cloves, etc. of the East India Company are all from the Spice Islands, whether it is me personally, or the East India Company, they will never give up the Spice Peninsula." Spex almost got up from his seat and pointed at Zheng Zhilong's nose and scolded to show his anger.

"Your Excellency the Governor is old, and he still can't hold his breath," Zheng Zhilong poured a leisurely sip of tea, and put down the teacup unhurriedly, "I haven't finished talking about the Spice Islands yet. ”

“……”

"The spice islands belong to Daming, but the spices, cloves, pepper, cardamom produced on the island, we can share, Daming will set up a related company, the two sides will cooperate in mining, I will give you a certain share, but the fish and shrimp produced near the island, pearls, etc., are not listed, and are exclusively enjoyed by Daming."

"Cooperation? Share? Spex's mind couldn't turn for a while, and after a long time, he had rich experience in business and trade, and he understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, the Dutch East India Company came to the South Seas, mainly to produce spices in the South Seas, since the spices can be shared, the rest is easy to say, the East India Company is not a country after all, and it is not very concerned about the land, "Then how many percent of the shares Commander Zheng gave us?" ”

It's good to agree, in Zhu Youzhen's instructions, the Spice Islands are a passage to the Indian Ocean and Oceania, if the Dutch are allowed to explore this channel, they will be an opponent of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so Zheng Zhilong will completely incorporate the meager industries of fish and shrimp and pearls into the Ming Dynasty.

Spices and other agricultural products are mined on the land of the archipelago, and in this era when time is money, no one has the leisure to wander the ocean.

"The profits generated by spices and other goods are divided into twenty-eight, and I am eight and you are two."

"Twenty percent? Absolutely not," Spex doesn't remember how many times he said "absolutely" in front of Zheng Zhilong, although the East India Company's business is very extensive now, spices are their main business, and it is also the starting point for them to go east, land can be wanted, profit is his greatest pursuit, but Zheng Zhilong's military strength is superior, he thought about it, "At least fifty percent." ”

"Okay, I'll take a step back, this is the only concession I have, I hope Your Excellency the Governor won't sabotage the peace talks between the two sides for a little petty profit," Zheng Zhilong almost closed his eyes, he pinched his fingers and calculated, "Forty percent, this is the final decision." ”

can get forty percent of the profits, Spex can also accept it, and after spices, cloves, etc. enter Europe, there will be a lot of profits, these Ming should not know, important things, the peace treaty is close to reaching, he does not want to make extraneous branches, "So, what about Borneo?" ”

"Borneo naturally belongs to the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong expressed his meaning without hesitation.

"......" Spex was still waiting, he thought Zheng Zhilong would say something to share again.

"The northeast of Borneo is the Luzon province of the Ming Dynasty, the Sulawesi island of the Ming Dynasty in the southeast, and the Malacca of the Ming Dynasty to the west. Zheng Zhilong seemed to see through Spex's thoughts, and he also looked at Spexes defiantly.

Spex's thought that Zheng Zhilong was about to say something military threatening again, and he was so frightened that he was speechless for a while.

If you don't respond, you are acquiescing, and Speix's assistant Layton couldn't sit still, "Commander Zheng, my East India Company has come to Borneo a long time ago, and I have worked hard to destroy the indigenous countries on the island, not to mention, and it has cost tens of thousands of dollars of silver to establish a large number of strongholds, can't I just hand it over to Daming?" ”

"Who are you?" Zheng Zhilong glared suddenly, letting his eyelids open to the maximum, and then slowly returned to his original state, "I'm in peace talks with Governor Spex, no one else, don't interject indiscriminately, look at my subordinates, who is so disregarding identity and etiquette?" ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't wait for Leyton to reply, and turned his gaze to Spex, "Your Excellency the Governor, now it's you and me to negotiate peace, if you can't make up your mind, or you need to discuss with other shareholders, you can go back and ask for advice behind closed doors, you don't have to show such weakness in front of me, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, there is no owner at home, broom dance, you, who is the one in charge?" ”
