Chapter 1295: Rijkaard sues the royal court
Only one day later, on the morning of the third day, Cha Xuan and Qin Mufeng's recitals were sent to the capital along with the first wave of millions of taels of silver.
Gold and silver are trivial matters, but the deployment of Cha Xuan and Qin Mufeng in Dongying is the most important.
The two of them made a report on the military deployment to Zhu Jie, and at the same time asked the emperor to monopolize Dongying's foreign trade, with Edo, Satsuma and Nagasaki as trading ports, and fully control Dongying's trade with the Ming Dynasty and even the South and Western Oceans.
Zhu Jie's face bloomed with joy, these two stinky boys finally got the hang of it, military deployment, there was no problem, gathering heavy troops and Edo, shocking the entire Dongying, and then set up military bases in strategic places such as Nagasaki, Satsuma, Osaka, Edo, Hokkaido, Sapporo, etc., and sent troops to be stationed, and the entire Dongying was under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the signing of the "Tomorrow Edo Treaty", it is presented on the book case along with the sonata, well, this is the key, how to continue to grab wealth from Toei? That's the key! Once they control Dongying's foreign trade, wealth will continue to pour into the Ming Dynasty, why did the Zheng family grow from a small pirate to a sea giant dominating Tiannan in 20 years? Isn't it because the Ichan Party controls the maritime trade from the East to the South Seas? These trades alone bring millions of benefits to the Zheng family every year, and at the most time even exceeded 10 million taels of silver!
If the Ming Dynasty dominates Dongying's foreign trade, this is a huge cornucopia......
"Sent a decree to Yanhuang Company, appointing Wu Dequan as the Minister of Trade of the Ming Dynasty in Dongying, under the dual control of Zhu Shunshui and the imperial court, the Dongying Branch of Yanhuang Company was established, and it was fully responsible for Dongying's foreign trade! The silver two into Beijing, all into the treasury, generally used to repay the debts of Yongxing Bank, the other part, all used to dredge the transport, renovate the official road, years of war, so that the official road of the imperial court is seriously relaxed, seriously affected the transportation of goods, how can it be done? ”
Zhu Jie had just finished the deployment, and Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the Dutch East India Company sent a special envoy to the capital to protest and negotiate with our dynasty about the damage to the Dutch merchant ships by the Ming fleet during the Dongying War......"
Zhu Jie frowned, and replied lightly: "Let the envoy enter the hall." ”
After a short time, the envoy Rijkaard walked up to the main hall.
Rijkaard can be aggressive in front of Qin Mufeng and Chazhu, but when he arrived in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, his arrogance disappeared without a trace, for no other reason, the emperor's aura on the dragon chair was too powerful, and the great majesty was not revealed, and Rijkaard couldn't help but tremble, it was different, it was really different, although the two in Dongying were sharp, like a long sword leaning on the sky, but the emperor in front of him was dignified, and the weather on his body could even swallow the universe, Even in front of the emperor, the two Heavenly Swords will be covered by all their edges!
"The Kingdom of the Netherlands sent the envoy to Dongying, Lieutenant Kaard, see Emperor Ming!"
Rijkaard bowed to Zhu Jie and gave a gentlemanly salute.
"Bastard!"
Gao Hongtu on the side couldn't stand it first, and when he saw the Ming Emperor, this red-haired man dared not bow down, and as a minister, he was derelict in his duties, and he was going to be impeached!
Gao Hongtu shouted sharply: "Rijkaard, this is Da Ming, you are seeing our emperor, and you are going to perform three bows and nine bows, didn't the officials of the Ministry of Rites teach you?" ”
Rijkaard replied: "My lord, in the Kingdom of Holland, all subjects do not have to bow down when they meet the king, and our knees are only bowed when we worship God......"
"Presumptuous!"
Gao Hong's nose was crooked, his face was pale, special, he was put on a show by this Rijkaard, when he was in the Ministry of Rites, he didn't say he didn't agree, if he dared to say he didn't agree, he would have driven him out of the capital a long time ago!
Zhu Jie waved his hand and replied: "That's it, Yan Wengong, don't be angry, you are a small state, you don't know how to be polite, it is also understandable, a little mistake, it is insignificant, Rijkaard, you are the business secretary of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Dongying, what are you doing in our Daming capital?" ”
Rijkaard bowed down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Rijkaard came to Daming to ask His Majesty the Emperor to give us an explanation about the bombing of the Dutch merchant ship in Dongying by your fleet, and the fact that your fleet used the Dutch flag to raid Edo!" ”
Interpretation?
Zhu Jie sneered: "What explanation do you want?" Rijkaard, Dongying offended my great authority, hid the Ming Dynasty's important criminals, and the will of the expedition to Dongying was given by me, the commander of the naval fleet, General Cha Xuan, and the commander of our army, General Qin Mufeng, are the plenipotentiary envoys sent by me, any decision made by the two of them represents my will, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, if there is something, you can just go to them directly? ”
Rijkaard said excitedly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have already looked for the two of them, but the two of them are extremely rude, not only refuse to apologize, refuse to compensate, and even General Qin Mufeng even threw me out of the hall and the door on the spot!" The dignity of our Kingdom of the Netherlands cannot be trampled on like this, so I have to come to the capital and ask Your Majesty to explain it to me! ”
Above the court, all the courtiers snickered in their hearts, this kid doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he must have been wild in front of the two overseers, Qin Mufeng has a hot temper, it has always been a problem that can be solved with his fists, absolutely no mouth, throwing you out of the hall, not throwing you into the Sea of Japan, it is already cheap for you......
"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, you were thrown out, then you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, to touch the moldy heads of the two generals, the coercion of my Ming generals, is it also something that you people can touch? Say, what do you want? ”
Rijkaard came this time, originally to sue the imperial court, let the Ming Emperor preside over a justice, just about to leave Nagasaki, suddenly spread that the new Aoyama shogunate handed over all the trade rights of Dongying to the Ming Dynasty, and all Western countries were not allowed to enter Dongying for trade!
After all, the Dutch went to Nanjing, ransacked the yamen, and let the Ming export evil anger, which is also normal, everyone knows it, but once Dongying's trade rights are gone, the loss is really big, the Dutch earn as much as four or five million taels of silver from Dongying every year, four or five million taels of silver, just because of this war, it was completely ruined, the East India Company could not withstand such a huge loss, absolutely unbearable, The anger of those nobles in the country will never be suppressed!
