"Mr. Binda, I heard that the king of Dongning has arrived in Guangzhou City, I wonder if you have obtained the qualifications to meet you?"

"Nope." Binda, from the Inguly Mercancies, shook her head at Mr. Annathan, who was from the Fédégémière. "I once applied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Guangzhou, but the other party refused on the grounds that I was not a nobleman and an official envoy of the Kingdom of England, and I think Your Excellency should have suffered the same thing."

"Yes, I was also denied, only the Spanish Merchant House got permission, damn it, isn't it the envoy of the governor of Manila? This group of Orientals simply does not know real diplomatic etiquette. The French grumbled. Either he was blinded by the Spaniards, and the Governor of Manila could not represent the Kingdom of Spain at all. ”

"I do not agree with Your Excellency's judgment, the soon-to-be-Emperor King of Dongning is not a megalomaniac who knows nothing about Europa-shaped shì, perhaps this future emperor is more concerned with the identity of the representative baron, and more importantly, I think that this Majesty is more concerned about the galleons from Manila."

At this point, there was a look of jealousy on the faces of the English people, and of course the obedient people were also the same, but at this moment the British and French could not effectively challenge the Spanish rule in the Americas, so they could only watch with envy as the competitors used the large quantities of gold and silver in the Americas to open the door to China.

When the look of jealousy disappeared from his face, the Frenchman Anason suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Binda, since the king of Dongning has seized power, and although the trade door has been opened, we have imported more and more gold and silver, and I am afraid that it will not be a good phenomenon to continue like this." ”

"That's true," Binda echoed, rolling her eyes. "The East India Company has long noticed these problems, and at present, the king of Dongning also buys copper, saltpeter, linen fabrics, and canvas from us, but the purchase of saltpeter is getting less and less, and the Indian canvas is gradually replaced by China's own canvas, and the Cessirians have also learned how to make clocks, glass, mirrors, cannons, and muskets, which cannot help but make the company worry, once the East no longer needs our goods, how much gold and silver will be needed to meet our needs for purchasing Oriental goods****??"

"Gentlemen, are you overly worried?" The owner of the Danish merchant house on the side listened for a long time, and finally spoke at this time. "As far as I know, the internal battle of the Sethri is not over, His Majesty the King has not yet defeated the Northern Tatars, and there will inevitably be further needs for materials such as saltpeter in the future, no, in order to adapt to fighting in the cold regions of the north, the Dongning Customs has placed an order worth 10 million thalers to import woolen fabrics from Europe."

"It's only temporary, after all, there are vast pastures in northern China, Mongolia," Binda drew a cross, apparently the prestige of the Mongols still frightened him. "Once the Sesri have mastered Mongolia, they will be able to produce their own woollen fabrics."

"I don't think the war will end anytime soon, after all, the Tatars are also very powerful, and maybe this will be another thirty-year war." The Dane pouted. "Besides, even if the Cthhris eventually win the civil war, there are still Russians and Jungar's cavalry waiting for them in the north."

"Russian savages? Mongol cavalry in Jungar? "The two merchant hall owners of Britain and France glanced at each other, and they all showed a mocking smile, to be honest, Russia at this time was an uncivilized barbarian in the eyes of Western Europeans, and only the Tatars were afraid of them, as for the Jungar cavalry, although I heard that it caused a lot of trouble to the Manchu regime, it could not also have an impact on the Zheng army, and there were still doubts. I hope so, right??"

Since this conversation involved the master and was too sensitive, Binda changed his words: "The war between Quang Nam and Bac Ha is coming to an end, right?" I heard that more than 100,000 people have died. ”

"Not yet, at least until the rainy season begins." Due to France's peeps on Quang Nam, Chenla, and Siam, Annathan apparently knew more about the war between Truong Nguyen. "However, the losses in the north were very large, and it is said that the northern envoy stationed in Guangzhou was going to meet the king this time and ask him to send troops to help in the war."

The Danes had limited strength in the east, so they didn't understand the current situation, so they asked a little blankly: "Didn't it be rumored that the Sesli people were rejected by Beihe when they jointly sent troops?" Why are you asking for help now? ”

"My understanding is that asking Sesri to send troops to help in the war is just an excuse, and the most is to ask Sesri to provide funds and materials, of course, the previous operation of the Sethri Navy in Da Nang is very deterrent, and the people of Bac Ha may also hope that the Sethri Navy will continue to mobilize part of the Quang Nam army to break away from the Heng Son line." Annathan analyzed in the tone of a military expert. "It is not excluded that His Royal Highness the Regent of Bac Ha wants to be canonized by the King of Dongning and the future Emperor Sesri."

The Dane asked again: "Does Mr. Anasen think Quang Nam will survive this battle?" ”

"The Portuguese have already lost Macao, and if they lose Quang Nam again, then the only stronghold in East Asia will be Ah Zhen, but Ah Zhen is far away in the northeast of Sumatra, which means that if you lose Quang Nam, Portugal will completely lose the East." Inguilli is relatively close to Portugal and therefore has a better understanding of Portuguese movements. "Therefore, even though Sethry had warned him not to participate in the war between Quang Nam and Bac Ha, the Portuguese would not give up on aiding the Quang Nam people, and perhaps in the most dangerous time, the Portuguese might even take part in the war themselves."

"Portugal personally went to war, that would anger the Cessries, and then the Cezri might actually go to war." The Dane said with some concern. "With the strength of the Cessri's navy, there will be a catastrophe at that time, and for any European country, the defeat of Portugal will be a deterrent."

"I agree with you." Binda also sighed, knowing that Zheng Fan's navy was single-handedly directed by Ying Guili, but now it has threatened the Ying Guili people themselves, and he must recognize Zheng Fan's sea power before the power of the Royal Navy can be projected to Malacca. "Unless the Portuguese in Batavia, Manila and Hoi An unite, there will be no one in the Sethri Sea who can resist the power of the Tung Ninh navy."

"The Dutch and the Spaniards formed a coalition? It's just a joke. Annathan said with a wry smile. What's more, the Sesri Navy has four large battleships in the Australian Military Port of Xiangshan, unless you count the Manila galleons, even if the Dutch and the Spaniards join forces, they will be at most equal to one fleet of the Sesri Navy, but Sesri has at least three fleets of the same size. ”

"So the defeat of the Portuguese is inevitable?" The Dane smashed his mouth in disappointment. "It's a pity that the king of Dongning still allowed the Portuguese to establish a merchant house in Canton, wouldn't it be better if the Portuguese were completely excluded from the eastern trade?"

The French laughed, but the Englishman frowned: "You say, did the king of Dongning summon the representative of the Spanish merchant house with an attempt to prevent the Dutch and the Spaniards from joining forces?" ”

"It can't be said that there is no such possibility." Annathan was still smiling. "However, I do not see the need for this, first, the Spaniards will not come forward for the Portuguese, after all, it is not the time for an empire; Second, since the king of Dongning knew Europe, he must have known that Spain and the Netherlands could not stand together. ”

"No, I don't mean this war between Bac Ha and Quang Nam. I mean, once the future Emperor Sethri drove the Portuguese out of the seas of East Asia, would his next opponent be the Dutch? Binda's inference gave the other two creeps. Emperor Sethri needs the gold and silver we brought, but he doesn't necessarily want to have a military force around him that threatens Sethri****??"

"Are you saying that Emperor Sethri doesn't want to see Europeans have colonies in Southeast Asia? So he would have targeted the Dutch a second after expelling the Portuguese? Annathan asked himself as he blinked. That's right, it's possible. After all, there had been considerable conflict between Dongning and the Dutch before, and there had been several armed conflicts between the two sides, and the Dutch were not as good as the Spaniards who could bring a lot of gold and silver from the Americas. ”

"With Batavia in his hands, Sesri can still master the Spice Islands." The Danes added fuel to the fire. "For that, Sethri can even share the victory with the Spaniards." The more the Danes talked, the more certain they became. "Even the two sides can send troops together."

"Don't think of the Spaniards as stupid." Annathan suddenly made a 180-degree turn. "The Césli may not have anything to do with the Portuguese, but dealing with the Dutch will definitely cause alarm among the Spaniards, so Spain will definitely not help the Cexhris to expel the Dutch together, and the Césri will not need the Spaniards to help expel the Dutch."

"Makes sense." The Danes also came to their senses. "Actually, what does the conflict between the Cexlis and the Dutch have to do with us, the Dutch are more annoying than the Cexlis, aren't they?"

"Of course it does." Binda, however, disagreed with the Danes. "Perhaps the Cessri's expulsion of the Dutch won't be in our interest, but the C'sli's seizure of the Spice Islands means more gold and silver outflow for us, so I think it's better for us to join forces and take Batavia than let the Cezri get their hands on it."

"Unite to take Batavia?" Annathan looked at Binda in some surprise. "It's not a joke." But Binda's cousin made him confirm that it wasn't a joke, and for a moment he was stern. "It's too big for me to decide, but I can report it and let the Crown Power Company negotiate with your British East India Company."

The Danes also said, "I also want to ask the company." ”

"Then ask the two of you to write separately, but be quick, once the Portuguese are expelled from Quang Nam, it will be a year or two before the Cessirians take action against Batavia."
