Van der Vaart said embarrassedly: "Soria, at that time, my sea ship had been damaged by the Ming army, and I finally boarded General Zheng Cai's handsome ship, I was wounded in the arm, and I entered the cabin to rest, and the rest of the things are not very clear, this, please forgive Soria......"

Tagawa Nanazaemon is not stupid, it was Zheng Cai who abandoned someone at a critical time, and that person was a shield, and this thing was indeed a bit unauthentic.

"General Soria, this matter is indeed our responsibility, we really can't help it, on the battlefield, the battle record is fleeting, and General Zheng Cai led the army to break through the siege as a last resort, since General Soria has arrived in Dongying, then we will do the east, so how about entertaining you?"

Tagawa Nanazaemon said with a smile, "Mr. van der Vaart, Zheng Cai, let's go, let's go and see the arms first, and transport the arms back!" ”

Other things can be delayed, but this is the only thing that Tagawa Nanazaemon dare not be careless, after all, this is related to the fate of the entire Zheng family.

"Wait!"

Van der Vaart stretched out his hand to stop and said: "Mr. Tian Chuan, we negotiated the price at the beginning, and now that all the arms have been safely shipped out of the Yangtze River estuary, then my responsibility has been fulfilled, do you think I need to settle the payment first?" ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon's expression froze, and he said lightly: "Mr. Van der Vaart, even if you want to settle the payment, then let me see the arms, don't worry, how much arms I receive, according to the price we settled, how much money will be paid to you, the Zheng family does business, and it has always been a ...... based on integrity."

Van der Vaart said with a smile: "Mr. Tagawa, it's very simple, five thousand flintlock muskets, forty taels of silver for each musket, five thousand arquebuses, thirty taels of silver each, six hundred boxes of ammunition, eight hundred taels of silver per box, in addition, in order to be able to open the joints of various places, there is also a cost of 150,000 taels of silver, a total of one hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver, and please Mr. Tagawa can prepare a ...... for us."

One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver!

Nanazaemon Tagawa almost fainted!

Black, so fucking black, was Van der Vaart born of a black African slave? Do you dare to be a little darker? One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver! According to the cost of arquebuses, it is enough to buy no less than 200,000 arquebuses, right? Even if the flintlock musket costs the price, it is enough to buy at least seventy or eighty thousand muskets, how can this be reasonable! Not only that, did you give Lao Tzu 10,000 muskets? You know, Zheng Cai's handsome ship sank, but at least all the ordinary muskets sank into the sea, and a lot of ammunition was lost, you still have to collect payment from Lao Tzu according to all the arms, so Lao Tzu can't be a fool?

Tagawa Nanaemon's face darkened suddenly, and he said coldly: "Mr. van der Vaart, you are a shrewd dog, but I, Tagawa Nanaemon, am not stupid, we have not received tens of thousands of muskets, 600 boxes of ammunition, why should we pay you in full?" Moreover, this unit price is inevitably too high, right? You didn't tell me that the unit price was so high, at least it rose by more than half! The silver of my Tagawa family is not blown by the wind! ”

Van der Vaart spread his hands and replied: "Mr. Tagawa, yes, at the beginning I proposed twenty taels of silver for a flintlock musket, fifteen taels of silver for an arquebus, and four hundred taels of silver for a box of ammunition, but that was before, this time in order to be able to bring back the arms to you, but even the fleet of the East India Company was used, and you also saw that the East India Company, the warships alone have lost more than a dozen ships, more than one million taels of silver, and it is not even enough to make up for the loss of our warships!" ”

"You ......"

Tagawa Nanazaemon's face was pale, and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Zheng Cai said coldly on the side: "Mr. Van der Vaart, it is not only you Dutch who have suffered losses, haven't our warships been sunk a lot?" It is your duty and duty for us to purchase your arms and deliver them to us safely, as for how many warships and soldiers we will lose, that is your business, and it has nothing to do with us! In a word, how much arms are on the Canglong now, how much we will pay you, and according to the price agreed before, we will not pay one or two more silver! ”

Van der Vaart and Soria's faces also sank, jokes, why? Lao Tzu helped you grab arms and deal with the Ming court, but you were dragged on!

"Mr. Tagawa, General Zheng Cai, one million and three hundred thousand taels of silver, erased by a fraction, this is already our bottom line, otherwise, we Dutch will definitely not give up!"

Tagawa Nanazaemon sneered: "If you don't do it, you will give up? Joke! Van der Vaart, we can't fight against the Ming Empire, but you Dutch, we haven't taken it to heart, we can't break up in one shot or two, and from now on, you don't want to get a piece of goods from Dongying and Taiwan! ”

Van der Vaart is ruthless enough, Tagawa Nanaemon is ruthless, no worse than Van der Vaart, one Deng Yu and one Lou Bo died, and it has nothing to do with him Tagawa Nanaemon half a dime, he doesn't care, but he wants to get more than one million taels of silver from Tagawa's house in one go, that's a pipe dream, don't give it, see if you can, how can Lao Tzu drop? If you dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will swallow you in one bite!

Van der Vaart is naturally not a good stubble, and when he heard the threat of Tagawa Nanazaemon, he sneered: "Mr. Tagawa, without your official party, we can still go to the South Seas to make money, go to Black Africa to make money, and even go to West India to make money, but without our East India Company, I'm afraid you won't be able to last even a year!" Moreover, don't forget, without the support of our Dutch Kingdom, how will you deal with the next attack of the Ming Empire? As soon as the Ming Empire's navy arrives, it will be the moment of your demise! ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon was in his heart, Van der Vaart was right, he and the Dutch were at this time, and they would definitely suffer a big loss, no way, who let themselves have no backstage behind them now? The Dutch can't beat the Ming Empire, why should they retreat to India and the West, and there is no way out for themselves, but they obediently handed over 1.3 million taels of silver?

Naturally, it is impossible, 1.3 million taels of silver, this is not a small amount!

"Vandervaart!"

Zheng Cai on the side sneered: "Do you think that your East India Company can still stay out of the matter now?" The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always had revenge, even if your God provokes him, he will personally go to the sky to settle accounts with him! It's just a small East India Company, and if he wants to destroy you, it's a backhand matter, and now it's not just our official party that is in danger, is your East India Company safe? Without further ado, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and if we can't run, we can't run you! ”
