"What...... Kick out the Dutch with you! ”

Yue Yang couldn't help but wonder, this Antonie wasn't confused, right? Did I talk to Bert last time. Isn't Major Bush clear enough to make such a brainless request, is he really too stupid or does he think he is a fool?

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" As if he didn't see the look of disdain in Yue Yan's eyes, Antony continued: "Your Excellency, General, please listen to me finish speaking. ”

"Good...... Say, I hope to hear an explanation from you that satisfies me, otherwise I will take your words as a provocation to my country. Major Bushby made it very clear that the Bush Fellows are our inalienable sacred territory, and any attempt to occupy it is a violation of our sovereignty...... My men wiped out the Tatars in the north some time ago, and now more than 100,000 elite troops are panicking. ”

Threat...... Yue Yang's words were full of naked threats, after coming to this time and space for so many years and being in a high position, the aura of the superior on Yue Yang's body was getting stronger and stronger, although Yue Yang himself was not aware of this, but the people around him were very clear. Now, in addition to Yueyang's own family, Shunbao, Hu Laosan and others, who originally started with Yueyang, still dared to talk and laugh with Yueyang from time to time, but now more and more people dare to joke with Yueyang.

And for Antony, at this time, Yue Yang was as majestic and domineering as a commander, don't ignore my warning, otherwise I will give you a fatal blow, he swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath before saying: "Your Excellency Marquis, please forgive me for being straightforward. We do not mean to provoke your majesty, I am simply stating a fact. Although the Dayuan is very close to the Ming Dynasty, most of the people who currently live above the Dayuan are some natives, and the Ming Dynasty has not stationed official institutions on it, so there is nothing wrong with my country stationing troops on it. And now our common enemy is the greedy Dutchman and his accomplice Zheng Zhilong, who has been harassing your fleet these days. Since we have common enemies and interests, why can't we join hands to eradicate these threats? ”

Yue Yang had to admit that Antony's words were very direct and touching to him, and at the same time, he was also a little speechless. China has always been a country that values the land and neglects the sea, and its rulers cannot be blamed entirely on it. After all, China has been a self-sufficient agricultural civilization for thousands of years, and there is a lack of understanding and communication with the world outside the sea, and the Chinese people do lack the adventurous spirit of Westerners, so they despise things outside the continent, which has been fully proven in another time and space. Whether it is the cession of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, etc., it is a decision made by the ruler on the back of his head.

And for the adventurers of the West, since you don't want this place yourself, are you not allowed to occupy it? You don't want to be so domineering, okay.

Yue Yang thought for a while, and finally decided that he didn't want to think about this problem, and it was nerve-wracking to think too much, he said directly: "Okay, Your Excellency Antony, let's not dwell on this issue. I think you'll come to me in two years to talk about it. Now please give me a reason to go with you, knowing that I will not do anything that is not beneficial. ”

"This ...... Is it still an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can he talk about the benefits when he opens his mouth? ”

Antony was still amazed by the marquis he had met for the first time, this Yueyang was too different from the Ming officials he had dealt with before. It's too subtle to be subtle at all, and he actually talks about his interests so nakedly, at this time, Anthony suddenly misses the Ming officials who have been ridiculed by him before, and they are too cute compared to the one in front of him.

"Okay. Such people are my real opponents. Antony tried to calm the feelings in his heart, and his heart raced rapidly, and after a little bit of a stroke in his heart, he spoke: "Your Excellency the Marquis." First of all, I have to admit that you are the most special and difficult official I have ever met. ”

"I would take that as a compliment." Yue Yang shrugged.

Seeing Yue Yang with an expressionless face, Antony gritted his teeth and said, "Interests...... The important thing is that we can share enough benefits! ”

"Tell me about it!" Yue Yang still had an indifferent expression.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I know that you are a very famous nobleman in your country, very powerful, and the emperor of your country also married his eldest daughter to you, but as far as I know, you do not have a fief in your country, don't you want to personally lay down a fief?"

Hearing this, Yue Yang's pupils changed slightly, and Antony's words spoke to his heart.

Antony was able to be appointed as the governor of Spain in the past, and his shrewdness naturally went without saying, he had long been observing Yue Yang's every move, and when he saw Yue Yang's eyes, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and it seemed that he had spoken to his heart.

With joy in his heart, he continued to agitate like a snake: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, your country does not have the tradition of rewarding nobles with fiefs, if you work with us to drive away the group of pirates in the southwest of Dayuan, we can share with you the benefits of Dayuan, for example, after driving the Dutch away, I can hand over the city of Geranza or the city of Prominsha to you!" Antony smiled and offered what he thought was the most sincere price.

"Will you give me one of these two cities?" Yue Yang sneered: "I don't see the slightest sincerity in your words, whether it is Prominsha City or Geransha City, it is located in the southern part of Dayuan, after driving those Dutch away, I will still share the interests of the south with you, how is this possible!" You have occupied Keelung and Tamsui, and now you want to reach out to the south? ”

"We deserve it!" Antony said without changing his face: "Since we have contributed together, we have to share the benefits, right?" ”

"No...... No, ......" Yue Yang shook his head lightly: "I can't give you these two cities, I tell you now, if you want me to send troops to drive out those vampires of the East India Company with you, then you must come up with enough chips, and the city of Geransha and the city of Prominsha are just the basic conditions for our cooperation." If you have to worry about even this condition, then please go back! ”

Bert on the side. Bushby heard Yue Yang's aggressive tone and his own governor's frowning expression, he stood up and said loudly: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, it is already very sincere for us to invite you to send troops to drive out those Dutch and promise to cede some of the benefits, but you are so greedy. It is very unfair for you to do this, knowing that God created justice at the same time as mankind, and you have violated this principle! ”

"Axiom?"

Yue Yang was stunned for a moment, then he looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke, and he laughed so happily that his body began to lean forward and back together.

It took a long time for Yue Yang to stop laughing. He couldn't help but say to the major who still had a look of injustice on his face: "Mr. Major, let me tell you a fact, the axioms in this world have always been formulated by power, and the distance of the axioms is only within the range of the cannon, and the axioms that exceed the range are just a fig leaf on the prostitutes." ”

"Axioms are only within the range of cannons...... As a heavyweight Spanish official in the East, Antony's insight was naturally not that of Bert. Bush can be compared to such a pure soldier, he rejected these words carefully, and then looked at Yue Yang and said sincerely: "Your Excellency Marquis, you are a wise person, and your words are indeed very reasonable. So be it, all you have to do is help us get the Dutch out of the ranks. We don't want to give it all to you! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor...... "Bert. Bushby was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but when he saw Antony's stern eyes looking at him, he was stunned and had to bow his head.

"In that case, I'll make it clear." Seeing Antony give in, Yue Yang didn't show a happy expression. Instead, he said calmly, "It seems that we have reached an agreement, Lord Antony, when do you want me to send troops?" ”

"The sooner the better!" Anthony said decisively: "If I can, I hope to see your soldiers next month." ”

At this time, the Spaniards and Dutch occupied Taipei and Tainan respectively. Moreover, the Spaniards arrived earlier than the Dutch, so they should have had a preconceived advantage, but this was not the case. Although the Spaniards occupied northern Taiwan. However, the Dutch united with Zheng Zhilong and some merchants of the Ming Dynasty to stop the Spanish merchants along the coasts of Fujian and Jiangsu, thus threatening the Spanish economy in Manila and other places. Moreover, the price of goods shipped from Keelung is not cheaper than that of Ming merchants who shipped directly to Manila; On the contrary, it cost a lot of money to maintain the garrison, and it was impossible to open up trade between the Ming and Japan. In addition, since the third year of Chongzhen, the silver production in the Americas has been decreasing year by year, and Manila has fallen into economic recession due to the decrease in silver inflows. Northern Taiwan relied almost entirely on subsidies from the Philippines for its operations, but the Philippines itself had to finance the war with the Muslims, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Spaniards to survive.

Philippine Governor Coqueira decided to reduce the military strength of Northern Taiwan in order to reduce expenses. He ordered the demolition of the freshwater of Saint. Domingo City, only the garrison was in the chicken coop, and the rest of the manpower and supplies were transferred back to Manila. The emptiness of the chicken coop immediately attracted the covetousness of the Dutch, and since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Dutch have been constantly testing Taipei, and small-scale attacks are very frequent, which makes Antony a headache, which is why this trip to Weihaiwei has been made.

After saying this, Antony looked at Yue Yang's smiling expression, he had a strange feeling, the Marquis of the Ming Kingdom in front of him seemed to have seen through himself, and his own secrets would be impossible to hide in front of him. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this way.

Just as Antony hated himself a little for his sudden appearance, Yue Yang in front of him suddenly spoke, "Well, since you have agreed to my terms, then I can also promise you that I will send a fleet of no less than thirty warships and five thousand soldiers to drive the Dutch out with you by the end of next month." ”

Speaking of this, Yue Yang also sighed secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his current strength of the sailors was not enough, where would he need to cooperate with these Spaniards and directly drive them out with the Dutch. Now let's work with the Spaniards to drive the Dutch out, and after two years, when I'm stronger, it's not too late to take the Spaniards in Taipei and Manila.

"Great!"

As soon as he heard the news, Rao Yiantony's city government couldn't help but get excited, he stood up and saluted Yue Yang very formally, and said very excitedly: "Your Excellency the Honorable Marquis." On behalf of the King and the people of Spain, I would like to thank you for your help! ”

At this time, a scene that surprised Antony and the others appeared, Yue Yang, who was originally sitting in a chair, also stood up, raised his right hand and put it on his right forehead, returned a chic military salute to him, and said indifferently: "Your Excellency Antony, you don't have to be polite, since I promised you, I will naturally do it." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Antony's eyes, "Your Excellency the Marquis, I would like to thank you for your generous help anyway. ”

Antony was very puzzled in his heart, according to his understanding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army generally hugged his chest or simply knelt down on one knee, why was the Marquis in front of him so familiar with the Western military salute. And seeing that he is so skillful in saluting, it is definitely not a temporary action made in return for the sake of returning the salute. But it was only a small matter, and he only flashed in his heart, and then he was overwhelmed by the joy that swelled up.

After talking about business, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed, and Antony took a big sip of the tea that had become cold, and then said to Yue Yang with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have heard Lawrence say that you are very familiar with us in Europe and America, which makes me very surprised. Can you tell me when you went to Europe? ”

"Haha......" Yue Yang laughed: "Your Excellency Antony, we have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that Xiucai can know the world without going out, which means that as long as you read enough books, you can know what is happening in the world even at home." And I happened to pass the Xiucai exam. ”

As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, the people present scolded in their hearts almost at the same time, this guy is so cunning that he won't even say a word of truth. You can't even deceive ghosts, if you can be so familiar with Europe just by reading books, and even the contradictions between the royal families are like a few treasures, it would be too godly. However, while everyone was scolding in their hearts, their vigilance against Yue Yang was also raised by a level. It seems that this guy must have a lot of people in Europe to pass on information for him, otherwise this matter will definitely not make sense.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I have come here this time with a group of merchants. They also hope to get your permission to get a buying and selling permit for them, so that they can buy goods freely in Shandong. I wonder if you can say yes? ”

"Of course, as long as they can pay the deposit and pay taxes legally, I don't mind giving them a license to buy and sell." Yue Yang essentially agrees with the matter of trade, the economic development of a place is inseparable from merchants, and if there are no merchants, then who will sell so many commodities he got from modern times.

Seeing Yue Yang agree, Antony on the side was also very happy, now Weihaiwei has become the favorite place of Spanish merchants, and those goods that have never been seen that can be called works of art almost make those merchants crazy. Half a year later, almost everyone who first brought these goods back to Europe made a lot of money. Driven by profits, almost everyone in Spain today knows that there is an empire called the Ming Dynasty in the far east, and as long as you can go there and buy a boatload of goods back, you can earn enough gold coins that you can never spend in a lifetime.

And as the governor of the Grand Guard, Antony himself wanted a piece of the feast, and now that he could finally get his wish, what reason did he have to be unhappy?

Next, seeing that the time was almost noon, Yue Yang, as the host, naturally couldn't let them go out hungry, and after inviting them to a delicious lunch, he sent someone to send these well-fed guys out of the door.

When Yue Yang returned to the study and was about to take a good nap, he saw Zhu Yujiao, who was already slightly raised, come to his study.

Zhu Yujiao was probably in a hurry, her pink face was a little red, and there were some slight beads of sweat on her small nose, Yue Yang quickly stood up and helped her sit down, and asked very strangely: "It's Yujiao, aren't you resting in the room?" ”

Zhu Yujiao hesitated for a moment before she said, "Xianggong, the concubine heard that those Francophone people came to you and wanted to invite you to send troops to fight those Dutch, is that so?" ”

"Yes!" Yue Yang nodded slightly, it was not surprising that Zhu Yujiao knew about this, it was Zhu Yujiao's personal palace maid Xiaoyu who served him during the meal just now, and it was naturally not surprising that she turned around and told Zhu Yuanjiao.

"So you're leaving your concubine to fight again?" Speaking of this, Zhu Yujiao looked at Yue Yang, with a trace of anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes.

Yue Yang understood her feelings, she was a fourteen-year-old girl who married herself and was pregnant, she was very sticky these days, and she was naturally reluctant to hear that she was leaving again.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and hugged her petite body in his arms to comfort: "You don't have to worry, Xianggong won't be going for too long this time, he will be back soon, and he will bring you the best gift."
