The conditions offered by the Han are very domineering, especially for the Netherlands and Spain, they have no choice.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all agreed with these conditions, and they also fully felt the sense of self-confidence that came with the prosperity of the country. However, as for the conditions offered by Britain and Portugal, many people feel that they are too cheap. Especially the young senators in the house, the emperor had just issued a decree not long ago, and the rank of senators was raised from the fifth rank to the fourth grade.

Many officials felt that this was the emperor's response to the last cabinet dispute, and gave the house a reward. It is the fourth product, and it is already possible to enter the noon gate before the court meeting.

Many senators feel that the conditions for the two countries are too good, especially Yingyi. Yingyi is also one of the three Yi of the Han Dynasty this provocation, and now the Han almost does not pursue their conditions, and the Dutch and Western countries have to hand over all their colonies and rights and interests in Nanyang to the Han Dynasty, while the Yingyi is just to fully open trade and trade to the Han Dynasty, giving the most favored nation treatment, and neither ceding land nor paying compensation.

And the conditions given to Portugal were too good, although this time the Portuguese were neutral and did not participate in the provocation against the Han Dynasty, but the loan of 30 million and 20 million silver dollars in exchange for Portugal's colonies in the South Seas, including Malacca, felt that it was not worth it.

Admiral Dongchang reported to Liu Jun that the senators of the House of Representatives were generally dissatisfied with the peace talks, and thought that the imperial court was too soft and gave Xiyi such good conditions. Many parliamentarians believed that the imperial court had won a great victory in Nanyang, and that they could directly take Nanyang without talking to Xiyi at all, and they believed that the imperial court should hold them accountable for their crimes of attacking Han merchant ships and massacring Han Chinese after seizing the colonies in the southwest of the Netherlands, and let them pay compensation and hand over the murderers.

"They're quite talkative." Liu Jun just smiled at such a report.

The left and right privy envoys on the side, Wang Qian, Zhang Shan, and Cai Yuan, the chief of the general staff, only chuckled when they heard this.

"If you don't give the slightest leeway, how can the Dutch and Western Yi open the city and surrender? Our goal is to take control of the South Seas, not to form a sworn enemy with Xiyi. ”

"I'm afraid that Zhuyi may not be willing to sign this agreement." The left privy envoy Wang Qian said.

Liu Jun said indifferently, "The agreement was originally used to tear up, and the key is not whether to sign it or not." What is the content, but also in the strength of both sides. Now Xiyi and us are competing for the interests of Nanyang at the door of the Han family, and they themselves are not monolithic, fighting non-stop in Europe, and now each family is still on fire in their backyards. Therefore, in this battle in the South Seas, of course, they are not our opponents. But no matter what, after we take the South Seas, we will not be able to fight all the way to Europe, or fight beyond the South Seas. ”

Liu Jun is very clear about the direction of Dahan's expansion. No matter how vast and rich the Americas and Africa are, or how vast the Indian subcontinent is. At least now it is beyond the reach of the big man.

Dahan's current strategic focus is on the Central and South continents, followed by the Nanyang Islands. For the Central and South Continent, the imperial court will go all out to sweep away the Central and Southern Kingdoms and completely bring this vast place into the rule of the Han Dynasty, which is the top priority, which cannot be changed, and it also needs to go all out.

As for Nanyang, what to do now is to drive away Zhuyi. In order to achieve the goal of monopoly, the imperial court only needs to occupy a few important ports on a few large islands at this stage, and as for those indigenous Muslin Malays, they can not be in a hurry to fight first. The imperial court can take its time.

Since this is the case, then of course there is no need to continue hostility with Britain, Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, on the contrary, if it is possible to reach a peace agreement with several countries at this time. The Han Dynasty has comprehensive trade with several countries, which is of course of great benefit to the Han Dynasty. This can expand export trade and provide impetus for domestic processing and manufacturing. It is also possible to import more raw materials from abroad. It's all visible benefits.

"The Spaniards have handed over Manila, and the rest of the entire Philippine archipelago will be handed over to us as well. They have no place in the South Seas, and even if the King of Spain refuses to sign a peace treaty, what does it matter to us? The King of Spain has also never recognized the independence of the Netherlands, and does not recognize the independence of Portugal, is it useful? ”

This is already the case, and the Spaniards will not accept it and will not change anything. At this time, Dahan did not mention anything such as asking for reparations and pursuing war criminals, and it was precisely because of this consideration. It is estimated that the king of Spain will not even sign a peace treaty, let alone give you any indemnity or something.

For those Spaniards in the Philippines, let them leave, but also hope to be able to fight for it, even if the Spanish king refuses to sign a formal peace treaty, but at least they can acquiesce, it is best that the Han and Spain can still do trade. After all, the Spaniards could not defeat the Han in the South Seas, but the Han could not go to Europe or the Americas to start a war with Spain, and if the Spaniards blockaded and intercepted the Han merchant ships in Europe in the Americas, it would also be very troublesome.

The result would naturally be a lose-lose situation, and the Han would not want to monopolize the South Seas and not want to lose overseas trade.

It was for the same considerations that the Dutch were given the same conditions.

As for England, they basically did not participate in the war this time, and they didn't have much territory in Nanyang in the first place. Now the conditions put forward by the imperial court and England are more practical, let them recognize the exclusive rights and interests of the Han Dynasty in the South Seas, let them no longer cooperate with the Central and South countries and sell arms, etc., and even let them open their ports and trading posts along the Indian Ocean.

The English definitely didn't make a profit, and the big men didn't suffer either.

As for whether the Portuguese are worth 20 million in the South Seas and whether they need to buy it, this is not a very complicated issue. 50 million was given to the Portuguese before and after, and this money did not need to be paid by the imperial court, and Liu Jun borrowed money from his own treasury. All this money was turned into orders, which boosted domestic manufacturing and exports.

20 million to buy so many islands, castles, trading stations, etc., will never suffer a loss, 30 million loans, the interest alone is quite cost-effective, not to mention that it has become an export order.

Some people think that Portugal is a small country, and a strong attack can take their territory in the South Seas. But Liu Jun felt that if it could be solved with money, then why use force.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Portugal this time, basically Dahan will have a partner in Europe, not to mention that the port of Lisbon will definitely become a supply commercial port for Dahan in the future, and Portugal has just become independent, so it will inevitably need a lot of materials in the future. Dahan also has a stable exporter.

Not to mention that although Portugal is now weak, their overseas colonies are quite large, from India to the Persian Gulf to the African continent, and strengthen cooperative relations with Portugal, then these Portuguese colonies can not only become an excellent supply station for Han merchant ships to Europe, but also become an excellent export place for merchants, and at the same time become an import place for raw materials.

For the sake of the slightest immediate interests, the direct forcible seizure of Portugal will lose more interests. Liu Jun won't do anything about killing chickens and taking eggs.

"The Seventh Fleet will then be relocated to Manila and will be responsible for the entire Philippine Islands." After thinking about it, Liu Jun said, "From today on, the Philippine archipelago will be set up as Luzon Province, and from Luzon Island in the north to Mindanao Island in the south and Zhenghe Island in the west, it will be included as Luzon Province. ”

Zheng Ho Island, also known as Palawan, is a long and narrow island. Since the Song Dynasty, many of the island's ancient kingdoms have been subject states of China. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet also landed on the island many times to exchange and replenish.

In later generations, because the Filipinos once changed the South China Sea to the West Filipino Sea without authorization. Therefore, many Chinese people also demanded that Palawan Island be changed to Zheng He Island.

Now that the imperial court has taken over the Philippine Islands from the Spaniards, Liu Jun simply changed Palawan Island to Zheng He Island. There are also many small indigenous nations throughout the Philippine archipelago, but these are not a problem, after driving out the Spaniards. Naturally, this will become a province of Dahan, and if you spend a little more time, you will be able to subdue the natives after all.

With the surrender of the Spaniards in Manila. There are no problems with the Philippine archipelago anymore.

Only the Dutch in Java were not sure whether they would surrender Batavia and all the Nanyang colonies controlled by the Dutch-Indian Company.

After all, the Dutch in the South Seas were actually a colonial company, and after handing over the South Seas colonies and rolling out, the Dutch East India Company was almost bankrupt. Maybe for money, these people will have to fight.

However, when Britain, Spain, and Portugal will all withdraw from the South Seas, the Dutch East India Company is just a mantis arm to block the car. If they don't surrender, then continue to encircle, even if the Netherlands sends an expeditionary fleet to the rescue, Liu Jun will not withdraw his troops and retreat.

In any case, the Dutch had to withdraw from the South Seas.

Liu Jun's eyes have now returned to the Indochina Peninsula.

Zheng Zhilong captured Ava and captured the king of Taungoo and a group of courtiers, and now the main force of Taungoo is besieged in the city of Malay. Liu Jun has already issued an order to reward the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, and at the same time agrees with Zheng Zhilong's siege tactics, the rainy season is coming, and the bad weather will make the lone army in Malay City more and more desperate, and it is expected that in March, Malay City will fall.

However, the rainy season in Indochina is really annoying, and Zheng Zhilong's troops suffered a big loss in the rainy season in Myanmar before. Therefore, after Liu Jun discussed with the generals of the Military Aircraft Department, they all believed that the offensive on the entire Indochina Peninsula should be stopped.

As long as the Zheng Zhilong tribe of Donghu besieges Malay, it is good to wait until the rainy season passes in November, when the Malay city must also be broken, and then wave its army south, and you can fight all the way to Yangon on the south coast and occupy the richest area of the Greater Jinsha River Delta.

Liu Yunsheng of Nanyang was tasked with taking Malacca from the Portuguese and continuing to blockade and besiege Batavia until the Dutch were rough. As for the indigenous Muslin sultanates in the South Seas, they will not conflict with them for the time being, and the status quo will be maintained first.

The troops of Fu Shan, the governor of Annam, who were conscripting against South Vietnam, also suspended the offensive, and it was enough to hold the various port forts along the coast that had been captured during the rainy season.

Nanban may take advantage of the rainy season to make a counterattack, but Liu Jun is not too worried.

The imperial court's tactics against South Vietnam were not ordinary offensive methods, but adopted a very special bloodshed tactic.

Taking advantage of the advantages of the Han Navy and relying on sea supremacy, it carried out multi-point landings on South Vietnam, which had a long and narrow territory.

Every time a seaport is captured, a wharf or a fortress is built, it is like a stab in the face of the poisonous snake of South Vietnam. With a stab down, the imperial court doesn't have to rush into the abdomen, and the South Vietnamese will continue to bleed.

It took a year or two for the imperial army's army to completely stabilize the coastal fortress, and the blood of the southern barbarians was almost gone. At that time, the points were formed into lines, and the port fortresses extended to the fortresses on both sides, and finally joined into a line to form a chain.

Next, you can cut the trapped Nanban into several large pieces and clear them piece by piece.

Because Nanban has fought against the Central Plains army many times, relying on various favorable times and places and even the will of the people, it is quite tenacious. Therefore, when Liu Jun made a plan, he also made a conservative plan, and did not expect to be destroyed in half a year and a month. It's about a long-term conquest.

The first few legions sent to the Nanban were not the regular army of the Han Dynasty, but the Japanese, Korean, Jurchen, foreign and other legions equivalent to mercenaries.

Such a price may be very large, and the time will be relatively long, but Liu Jun is not in a hurry.

South Seas, Java Batavia.

The Dutch East India Company's envoys returned from the north and took a small boat through the blockade of the Han Royal Navy fleet and entered the backwater of Batavia.

The governors of Batavia, Anthony, Van and Dimen, held the agreement, and their hands trembled.

"The Spaniards in Manila have surrendered, they have surrendered Manila and the whole of the Philippines."

"Those cowardly Spaniards!"

The crowd looked at Governor Anthony, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Your Excellency the Governor?"

Anthony shook his head.

"We can't agree to the conditions of the Han people, and the board of directors won't agree to them!"

The Dutch East India Company was made up of fourteen Dutch companies, all of which operated the East India routes, and in order to avoid vicious competition, the last fourteen companies merged to form the Dutch East India Company.

Under the authority of the National Parliament, the Dutch East India Company had a monopoly on trade from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa in the east to the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of the Americas in the west.

It is also a company limited by shares that can organize its own mercenaries and issue currency, and is also authorized to set formal terms with other countries, and has the power to colonize and rule overseas.

It was a company with unlimited power, with its headquarters in Batavia and a presence in many places, including the East Indies.

The company was once the richest private company in the world, but it has now been overtaken by the Han's Nanyang Company. But now, it is still strong, the company has more than 70 directors, but the most powerful of them is only 17 people, called the 17-member board of directors.

The company now has more than 150 merchant ships, more than 40 warships, more than 50,000 employees, and more than 10,000 soldiers.

Two years ago, the company's dividend reached 40 percent.

And such a pet Yamato company, such huge interests, basically from the interests of the Dutch East India Company in the South Seas, the profits of the East Indies, tea, porcelain, sugar, etc., the rise of the Han in the past two years has made the Dutch East India Company lose Taiwan, Japan and other markets, and later lost the profits of entrepot trade with China, and now the Han actually wants to take away the entire East Indies stronghold of the Dutch East India Company, including their headquarters, how can they agree?

They agreed, and the Dutch East India Company was finished.

Anthony glanced at everyone, and everyone lowered their heads, under the blockade of the Han Royal Navy, these people had lost their fighting spirit.

"Although the Spaniards, the English, and the Portuguese have surrendered and compromised to the evil and hateful Han Chinese, we will never be discouraged and will never surrender."

"We will fight to the end, we will fight in Batavia, we will fight in the Sunda Strait, we will fight in the East Indies with unyielding faith and growing strength."

"We will defend the strongholds of the East Indies at all costs, we will fight on the beaches, we will fight in the alleys of castles, we will fight in the fields and mountains."

"We will not surrender!"

Anthony's words made some people in the Dutch Indian company who had already admitted defeat ignite a fighting spirit again. Admit defeat and surrender, and the company will go bankrupt and they will have nothing.

Never surrender, never say die.

"As long as we stay the course, reinforcements from the Netherlands will arrive!" Anthony shouted through gritted teeth. (To be continued.) )
