Zhu Jie's words pushed the four-nation alliance to a point of falling apart.

He slept comfortably, and the envoys of the four countries were arguing, Kluivert was extremely dissatisfied with the envoys of the other three countries, thinking that they crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and did not pay attention to righteousness, and the envoys of the three kingdoms accused the Kingdom of the Netherlands of being arrogant and rude, and even risked the disapproval of the world to sack the Ming Ordnance Yamen, which was tantamount to provoking the Ming Empire to start a war against the West!

The four of them kept arguing, and they couldn't get any results, so they went straight to the lawsuit to Geranza.

Now, the governors of all countries are in Geranza, and after Count Coen and others received the news from the capital, they exploded!

Earl Cohen's face turned red, what the hell is this? I got up early in the morning and rushed to a late market, but the good meat was taken away by others, and in the end I could only drink a mouthful of rancid soup......

"Three, what's the matter, you're already satisfied now?"

Cohen asked coldly.

The Governor of England and India, Dale, smiled slightly: "Earl Cohen, if you are not satisfied, what do you want?" Pay a million taels of silver, you can win Dongying's permanent free trade, no more cost-effective, for us English, that is, a year or two of profits, but in the next few decades, we will earn tens of millions of taels of silver, or even more, steady profit without loss, if at this time, we do not know how to advance and retreat, in the end, it is very likely that the chicken and eggs will be beaten, and nothing can be gained! ”

"Dale!"

Cohen shouted, "You England only need to pay a million taels of silver, but our Kingdom of Holland needs to pay two million taels of silver!" Two million taels! Why? The four countries that said that they would advance and retreat together and put pressure on the Ming Empire together, why did they suddenly regret it? Where is the credibility of your kingdom of England? ”

Dale pursed his lips and replied, "Interests, Cohen, you don't have to sing high notes to me, don't we advance and retreat together?" Now the fleet of the Kingdom of England is still cruising back and forth in the waters of Dongying! The envoy I sent James, who is still in the capital, is still negotiating with Mr. Kluivert with the Ming Empire! You say we don't have credit? How else do you want us to keep our promises? Could it be that the Ming Empire has opened up the trade of Dongying, and you still want our three countries to accompany the Kingdom of the Netherlands to fight with the Ming Empire? Once a big move is made, the loss of countries is not just a million taels of silver can solve the problem! ”

On the side, the Spanish Governor Davis said with a smile: "Duke Dale is right, once the war starts, the losses of our countries will be more, Count Cohen, you don't know, now the strength of the Ming fleet is strong, and it is not even weaker than the fleet of your East India Company, and even in Dongying, there are more than 60,000 elite Ming troops, all of which are equipped with flintlock muskets, as well as hundreds of artillery, and strange rockets, once the war starts, even if we can defeat the Ming fleet, we have suffered these losses, Do you think we can still defeat the elite of the 60,000 Ming army? These are all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and their combat power is unparalleled! Anyway, I don't have the confidence to dare to argue with the army of the Ming Empire......"

The two governors quickly formed a united front to deal with Duke Cohen together, as for the governor of Portugal, Wiman, not to mention, even if the three of them went to war, Wiman has now made up his mind, and he must not participate in the war, joke, you three countries can hide far away after the fight, but what about Macau, the most important trading port of Portugal in the East? The Ming Empire only needs to mobilize dozens of artillery pieces and shoot wildly at Macau, but I am afraid that the trade port will become a pile of ruins, but the Portuguese have been operating there for hundreds of years, so they will be destroyed in one fell swoop, waiting for their own don't think about it, they will also be exiled by the king and nobles.

Cohen's lungs are almost angry, he is really a dead friend who is not a dead poor man, it has nothing to do with himself, and he immediately hangs high! What's more, without Lao Tzu desperately coming together in front of you and uniting you to act together, you can get such benefits? It's good now, cross the river and tear down the bridge, it's too fast!

"However, what about the matter of forcing the Ming Empire to cancel tariffs?"

Cohen said dissatisfied: "The Ming Empire's abolition of trade tariffs is very important to our four countries, don't you know?" Compared with the total trade volume of the Ming Empire, Dongying's trade volume is a fart! Dongying's annual trade volume is only 10 million taels of silver, but the total trade volume of the Ming Empire is now showing signs of exceeding 50 million taels! 50 million taels of silver, and with the continuous improvement of Daming's national strength and the cancellation of the maritime ban policy, the total trade volume of Daming will continue to rise in the future, and it will only be a matter of 60 million taels of silver! Once the Ming Empire cancels the import tariffs, then our countries will at least have more than four million taels of silver in profits, do you just give up? ”

Davis said helplessly: "Count Cohen, the Ming Emperor didn't say that he would not cancel the tariffs, but just asked our four countries to cancel the tariffs on the goods of the Ming Empire at the same time, and establish the most favored nation treatment for each other. Do you want to enjoy one-sided MFN treatment? How can it be! What do you think the Ming Empire is? A little sheep that has been left to the slaughter? Joke, once the Ming Empire gets angry, none of us have the strength to fight the Ming Empire alone! Do you think our alliance will last for a hundred years, or two hundred years? Bullshit! If it can last for ten years, it is all the virtue accumulated by the ancestors of your Dutch king! The alliance is broken, and we have to bear the wrath of the Ming Empire alone! ”

"That's it!"

Wiman said: "Count Cohen, if you want to play, you can play by yourself, don't get involved with us, and you don't want to think about it, what bad things your East India Company has done?" It is extremely stupid to send troops to directly ransack the Yamen of the Ming Ordnance Division! You have done something stupid yourself, why should we let the three countries give you the top of the Dutch kingdom? Dreaming, that's impossible! ”

"How can it be!"

Earl Cohen was furious, and shouted: "Don't go too far, in a word, this extra one million taels of silver will be shared equally among the four countries, otherwise, don't blame Duke Ben for making a move, and talking about this matter will completely mess you up!" I can't eat comfortably, and you don't want to eat comfortably! ”

Davis changed color and said coldly: "Count Cohen, are you sure that you want to challenge the power of our Britain, Spain and Portugal with the strength of the Kingdom of the Netherlands?" Believe it or not, as long as we wave our hands, the Ming Empire will be on our side, even if it is to drive the East India Company out of the South Seas, it will not be difficult! ”
