"Battalion Commander Li, the brigade headquarters orders!"

On the vast grassland, with the dust and sand raised by the horse's hooves, a fast horse quickly rushed to Li Han, the commander of the first battalion of the Ninth Infantry Brigade of the Ming Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Han took it and read it, then waved his hand forward expressionlessly and said, "Enter!" ”

Then he urged the horses.

Behind him were horses with the same steps, and behind the Arabian horses, in groups of two, were four-wheeled carriages reflecting the glow of metal, with two coachmen perched high in the driver's seat, and behind them were square carriages with parapets, eight soldiers sitting back to back on benches in the middle of the carriages, their rifles in their hands, all of which were pressed out on the firing ports of the parapets, and on top of the carriages there was a curved roof made of thin iron sheets.

Well, this is the military carriage of the Ming army.

A new generation of Wugang car.

Steel-wood hybrid structure, the overall design is similar to the German FT series military carriages during World War II, the latest rubber inflatable wheels with carbon black tires, the latest bearings and steering systems, the latest horse pulling system made of triangles and belt chains, in short, this is the ultimate version of the carriage, and it is also a large series, including personnel carriers, gun trucks, cooking cars, material transport vehicles, wounded ambulances, etc., both two-horse and four-horse heavy-duty models, as well as a horse-drawn light vehicle.

As for the parapets, they are made of wooden planks and iron sheets.

Not bulletproof, of course.

But it can be protected against bows and arrows.

More than 100 carriages of various types were loaded with soldiers of an infantry battalion, dragging four seven-and-a-half-pound rifled guns and ammunition supplies, like a long winding dragon rolling forward with the wheels on the endless grassland, and the horses of the cavalry reconnaissance teams on both sides kept galloping past, and soon a large number of herdsmen's tents appeared on the bank of the small river in front.

Immediately afterwards, an officer stepped forward with the documents he had just received.

At the same time, the convoy galloped rapidly, and soon surrounded the camp in a circle, and the Ming soldiers in the car quickly got down and relied on the carriage, and aimed their guns at a group of herdsmen, and even the four seven-and-a-half-pound guns were set up to aim at the latter. The latter was obviously frightened, there were only more than 2,000 of them in total, most of them were old and weak women and children, and the young and middle-aged were estimated to be only two or three hundred, led by a middle-aged man in a bearskin robe, holding various weapons and looking at the Ming army with vigilant and fearful eyes.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict.

It is found that the chief of the Chahar tribe, Su Rile, does not think about the grace of the Ming Dynasty, forgets the blood and hatred of Lin Dan Khan, and resists the mandate of heaven with the embarrassment of slaves, which is really a crime that cannot be punished, and is now sentenced to death and beheaded by the whole family, which is the crime of one of them, and has nothing to do with the people of his department, if there is a person who harbors it, it should be the same crime, and his assets are all obtained from the exploitation of the people, and he can be distributed to the people of his department as compensation. ”

The officer walked up to them and read aloud.

At the same time, a translator repeated to him.

"Dog Emperor, deceive people too much!"

The middle-aged man in the bearskin robe's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly in anger: "Come on, fight with them!" ”

As he spoke, he drew his scimitar.

However, he only found that more than half of the people around him had not moved, and those who obeyed the order to raise their weapons in their hands were also obviously a little uncertain.

"Bastards, are you going to rebel?"

He snarled angrily with the majesty of his leader.

"There is a decree in the Holy Heaven that only the family of Suzhile shall be punished, and no one else shall be punished, but if there is a protector who is guilty of the same crime."

The officer repeated with a blank face.

Thousands of soldiers behind him raised their rifles at the same time, and the black holes of the four cannons pointed at the crowd.

Those in the crowd with weapons began to lay down.

These herdsmen are not stupid, if they really fight, the entire tribe will be wiped out, the cannons and muskets are not something they can provoke, those god-like Ming soldiers are even more murderous without blinking, if they really come to exterminate the clan, of course they have to fight, but since they are just killing Su Rile's family, it seems that there is no need to mix, although he is the leader, but this bastard has followed the banner man all these years, and tossed more than half of the young and middle-aged people of the entire tribe, and it is not a pity to die, in order to protect his family into the entire tribe, Then there would be no need at all.

Su Rile was stupid.

He stood there yelling desperately at the herdsmen, trying to muster their courage, but finding that more and more of them had laid down their arms, he turned his head as if he had broken down and cursed, and rushed madly at the officer with a dozen loyal deployments, trying to inspire them with action, and then he heard a series of gunshots, and the supposedly Baylor shook like a leaf in the wind, and fell at the officer's feet with a bloody hole.

"I can't help myself."

The officer kicked him and said disdainfully.

"So, what are you waiting for? His possessions are yours. ”

Then he said to the herdsmen with a smirk.

"General, you're not kidding?"

The herdsmen were stunned for a long time before one of them asked cautiously.

"This is the holy decree, how can the holy decree be a joke, the emperor's decree, all these rebel party property will be rewarded, so don't you go and get it yourself and ask us to give it to you?"

The officer said speechlessly.

Boom all the herdsmen ran away, and then the huge tent of their former leader was submerged, and then immediately the cries and curses of women sounded inside, and it was not long before some people ran out happily with all kinds of utensils and clothes, and even some people carried women's, and this beautiful scene saw that the officer's smile was extremely bright, and the same kind of beautiful scenes were constantly staged among the small tribes on the grassland, and the grassland returned to harmony.

"Peace talks?"

Just as the vigorous campaign to fight local tyrants was launched on the grassland, Yang Feng was sitting in the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, looking at the Dutch envoy lying in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then what are you going to come up with to show your sincerity in restoring peace?" ”

The Dutch begged for mercy.

They can't fight anymore.

Or it can also be said that they are not capable of fighting anymore, not that they have no army, in fact, the loss of the Dutch navy did not hurt their bones, they still have a strong enough navy, at least in Europe is still in the top three, as for the loss of more than 10,000 people in the army, it is also nothing to them.

But......

But they still have an enemy a hundred kilometers away!

They can't ignore an enemy 100 kilometers away and fight an enemy 10,000 kilometers away! Although Louis XIV was beaten by the anti-French alliance and retreated to France, it did not mean that he had completely lost the war in Europe, on the contrary, with the numerical advantage of tens of millions of people, he could still fight back at any time and then let the Netherlands repeat a disaster year, the last time William III dug a seawall to flood his own land to stop the French army, the Netherlands did not want to experience such a disaster again.

Since we can't fight, we can only make peace.

If you don't ask for peace and restore trade in the East, it is estimated that it will not take Louis XIV to fight, the Netherlands itself will collapse, the country is completely dependent on maritime trade to support the economy, when the British blocked the port during the Anglo-Dutch War, Rotterdam is full of beggars, and Rotterdam is now more than it was back then. The company went bankrupt, the merchant ships were waiting to rot in the harbor, the common people could not afford bread, and the ladies who used to drink coffee every day with small flower umbrellas could now only run to work as chicks in exchange for food, and if this continued, the Netherlands would collapse.

Now they don't think about anything but to resume trade, after all, they still have the most merchant ships.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to cede to your country all colonies in the Indian Ocean, except Cape Town, including the Coromandel Coast, the Marbara Coast, Mauritius, as a sign of our apologies to you and your people."

The Dutch envoy said as he lay on the ground.

They know very well that these places will definitely not be kept, as long as Yang Feng wants to rob it, it is nothing more than to drive the fleet over and land, the Ming army has occupied Ceylon, and the rest is just to raise their hands, as for Mauritius, they don't want it in the first place, since this is the case, they simply hand it over quickly, otherwise the Ming army will take these places, and the Dutch there will inevitably be thrown away as prisoners of war as slaves, and they can be kept if they are handed over in this way.

"No compensation?"

Yang Feng said with an exaggerated expression.

"Well, Your Majesty, if the land cuts still can't calm your anger, we are willing to pay another two million guilders in compensation."

The Dutch envoy said sadly.

"Two million dong? Do you know how much I spent on the military because of your rude provocations? 20 million dragon yuan is basically equivalent to more than 20 million dong of yours! This is your responsibility, so you must compensate me for my military expenses, plus a fine of 10 million guilders, so you need to pay me a total of 30 million guilders, not 2 million guilders. ”

Yang Feng said.

Two million is a joke to send him, and thirty million is so-so.

The Dutch envoys were stunned by this number, 30 million guilders, that is nearly 1,000 tons of silver, the total share capital of the Dutch East India Company was only 2.5 million dong when it was established, and even trade and robbery in the East Indies for a year before only earned two or three million in total, although he knew that Yang Feng must have opened his mouth, but the number of 30 million was still too terrifying, not to mention that at this time the Netherlands was about to go bankrupt, and even two million had to grit his teeth to make it up, and the 30 million could not be taken out anyway.

He raised his head and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Feng.

"You don't have bargaining power."

Yang Feng said with a proud face: "What I say is the law, what I say is only the obligation of everyone to obey, there is no right to bargain, I ask you to only say two words, yes or no, yes, pay 30 million dong indemnity, cede the Coromandel Coast, Marbara Coast, Mauritius to the Ming Dynasty, if not, then continue the war between us."
