Chapter 1273 - Get the hell out of here
It's a mess indeed.
Cohen was shocked by the imperial fleet led by Cha Bolt, and he was really scared, although the fleet of the East India Company was not jealous, but after all, Nanyang was the doorstep of the Ming Empire, and if it really wanted to fight, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat, the best way was to compromise with each other, throw out a few scapegoats, and now smooth out this matter, as for the future, if the Ming Empire is really pressing step by step, then the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not a vegetarian, and when the kingdom's main fleet rushes to help, even if the Ming fleet is strong, And definitely not an opponent of the Dutch fleet.
What's more, Dongying is not easy to deal with, the Tokugawa family has been running Dongying for decades, and it is when it is thriving, and if the Ming army capsizes in the gutter, then the unlucky one is the Ming Dynasty.
So Cohen's plan is to make a false deal with Zheng Chenggong and others, and at the same time send a new commercial representative in Dongying, as for the original commercial representative Fantfat, he loves to die, even if he is broken into thousands of pieces, he can only blame himself for being unlucky, who let him come up with this bad idea? I didn't get the benefits, but I made a fuss! Let them die! As long as the trading rights of Dongying are still in the hands of the East India Company, there will be opportunities to make money in the future!
That's how Rijkaard was sent to Dongying.
When he arrived in Nagasaki, Rijkaard found that it was not the same thing at all, in Nagasaki, the Dutch merchant ships that originally stayed on the port were killed by the pond fish because of the Ming army's war towards Dongying, at least thirty merchant ships were damaged, and more than a dozen of them were directly destroyed, and the goods sank to the bottom of the sea, the Dutch commercial consulate in Dongying? Where is the consulate now? has already been razed to the ground by the Ming army, Van der Vaart's head is hanging on the head of Nagasaki City, as for the body has been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, the rest of the Dutch, as long as they are related to Van der Vaart, as long as they are related to the looting ordnance department, all have lost their heads!
Dozens of people lost their lives, and Rijkaard was naturally furious, but Rijkaard was not stupid, he knew what happened, and he was a Dutchman who did the first year of junior high school, so don't complain that the Ming army did fifteen, and now the governor is still smiling in front of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?
However, just like that, Rijkaard endured it and endured it, but this was not over, only three days later, a wave of Dutch merchants came from Edo Bay, came to Nagasaki City to confide in the consulate, in Edo Bay, due to the sudden attack of the Ming army, the Dutch merchant ships cruising and docking in Edo Bay also suffered heavy losses, dozens of casualties!
Of course, this is not the most hateful, the most hateful thing is that the Ming army's fleet launched an attack on Edo Bay in Dongying under the banner of the Dutch, it is precisely because the people on the Dutch merchant ships saw the flag of their own country that they did not take it to heart, and still stayed in the bay port, but it turned out to be blood mold, on the one hand, the Ming fleet's indiscriminate bombardment, on the other hand, the crazy counterattack of Dongying's shells, the Dutch completely became a sandwich baked cake, and the ravaged desire * immortal * wanted to die, and suffered heavy losses......
In just two battles, the hapless Dutch merchants lost at least one or two million taels of silver, not only goods, but also merchant ships......
Rijkaard was so angry that he almost vomited blood, the Ming Empire, you guys are too domineering, right? Okay, we admit that Van der Vaart did not do a good job, but you have killed hundreds of people in the port of Batavia, and completely destroyed the property of the Dutch in Nagasaki City, and now you are not sparing even the Dutch in Edo Bay. When the news came back to the Netherlands, he was going to be tried by the court!
In a fit of rage, Rijkaard ordered a message to be sent to Nanyang, and at the same time took a merchant ship to the Satsuma Domain to meet with the two commanders of the Ming army.
As soon as it came up, there was a tense atmosphere, full of the smell of gunpowder.
However, what battle has Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng not seen? When he followed the emperor to Manchuria, only a few people, facing the most powerful elite warriors of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, never cared, and now just a small business representative wants to intimidate the two generals, which is simply impossible.
"What's your name? Damn, you're a noisy fart! ”
Qin Mufeng plucked out his ears and grinned, "Your merchant ship was sunk by our Ming army?" Who saw it? Lao Tzu's seawater, they were all sunk by Dongying's people! Besides, your merchant ship is on the territory of Dongying, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, you want to find someone to compensate, that is also to find Tokugawa Iemitsu that bastard, why did you run to Lao Tzu's camp? Enough to live, haven't you? ”
Rijkaard was not small, and said angrily: "What? Could it be that you people in the Ming Dynasty are all bad seeds who dare not do it? Sinking our merchant ships, dare not admit it? On Dongying's side, the ability will naturally go to seek justice, but your Ming army will not escape justice! I have at least a hundred witnesses who can prove that the guns fired by your Ming warships hit our merchant ships! Even, in Edo Bay, your fleet is attacking the Toei Fort under the banner of our Kingdom of the Netherlands! ”
Cha Shu sneered: "The artillery hit your merchant ship? Joke, let's attack Nagasaki, attack Edo Bay, what do you guys say? Who is to blame for getting up and getting shelled? Our cannonballs are all going towards the land of Dongying, and if you don't run there, will the cannonballs turn around and hit your heads? I haven't settled the last account with your governor Cohen, and you have come here to die again? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu mobilized the Ming fleet, and even Batavia was flattened! ”
Rijkaldeden was dumbfounded, threatened, naked threat, even Batavia was flattened!
"You, you!"
Rijkaard pointed at Cha Xuan and said, "General Cha, can I understand that you are declaring war on our great Dutch kingdom?" ”
Cha Shu shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Whether to declare war or not, it depends on the attitude of you Dutch, if you understand it so, it doesn't matter if the conditions offered by the governor to your governor are not agreed, maybe after cleaning up Dongying, he will clean you up!" ! Don't bother me crookedly, there's something for Cohen to come to me! “
Rijkaard's face turned red, what is this? People don't have that self-made onion at all!
Rijkaard stomped his foot in hatred, turned and walked out.
"Wait!"
Qin Mufeng took two steps forward and said lightly, "Didn't you hear the words of the inspector?" Get out of here! ”
Qin Mufeng pressed Rijkaard's shoulders with both hands, shook it hard, and threw Rijkaard out and rolled away!
