"Get up, all of you!"

Zhu Jie was still angry, and snorted coldly, "Ming Yan, I don't blame you for this incident, after all, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, there are more than 20,000 Fujian sailors, the good and the bad are uneven, and it is not surprising that there are two rebellions, even if it is really among the Tianwei army, I dare not guarantee that there are no young people; Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai are already like this, and it will be a matter of time before they are brought to justice, but the time is not yet ripe to deal with the Dutch. I intend to send you to the South Seas to meet this Cohen! ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: "Thank you, Lord Longen, envoy to Nanyang, the minister will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Zhu Jie snorted coldly and said, "This mission, first, tell Cohen not to anger the Ming Empire, otherwise, the consequences are not something they can afford; Second, because of the participation of the East India Company, the Ming Empire suffered heavy losses, 10,000 guns, 600 boxes of ammunition, all of which had to be given to me, a gun of 100 taels of silver, a box of ammunition of 1,000 taels of silver, and a copper plate could not be missing; Sixty lives of the Ordnance Division, each of which was compensated with 20,000 taels of silver; Third, let Cohen personally go to the capital to plead guilty, and promise not to have any contact with Tagawa Nanazaemon again. If I do these three, I can not blame the past, and if I can't do one, I want them to get out of the East and the South Seas forever! ”

Hiss......

Everyone present gasped, the emperor's trick is really ruthless, the first and second are nothing, businessmen, make money with harmony, Cohen will never break with the Ming Empire in order to make money, but because Cohen is an out-and-out businessman, it is absolutely greedy, let Cohen compensate two or three million taels of silver in one breath, it is more uncomfortable than asking for his old life! As long as Cohen is not stupid, he will never agree!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Dutch won't agree to this, such conditions, right?"

Zheng Chenggong was dumbfounded, when the Zheng family dealt with the Dutch in the past, Zheng Chenggong already felt that his father was strong enough, but compared with the emperor, it was really not a level, just 10,000 guns, hundreds of boxes of ammunition, he dared to let the Dutch compensate 1.6 million taels of silver, and 60 lives, even if our Ming people's lives are valuable, they will not be so expensive, if it is an ordinary thing, a human life, even if it is a person with some status, 1,800 taels of silver will be settled, The emperor asked for more than one million taels as soon as he opened his mouth!

Zhu Jie replied lightly: "Ming Yan, this time you are on an envoy, do you really think that you will go to get the silver?" This time, I will send the Imperial Navy to escort you to Batavia, the Imperial Navy will pour out, let the Dutch see the strength of our Imperial Navy, so that they will not dare to act rashly in the next time, as for the conditions, hum, we ask for a price, we have to allow people to sit on the ground and pay back, the bigger we open our mouths, the more we can ensure that we get, negotiate things, don't worry, you can talk slowly in Batavia, even if it is a year and a half, there is no problem......"

Li Yan on the side smiled, the emperor's move was enough to damage, the imperial navy poured out, this is to put pressure on the Dutch, and then the dignified imperial envoys stayed in Batavia, then turn over their hands, the imperial court is dealing with Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai, then the Dutch have no way to make a move.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I'm almost hot if I leave Lord Zheng alone in Batavia, and in the opinion of the ministers, I should leave some helpers for Lord Zheng......"

Zhu Jie glanced at Li Yan and replied: "That's natural, pass on the decree, appoint Zheng Sen, the squire of the Ministry of Commerce, as the minister of Nanyang affairs, and Yang Geng, the chief soldier of the imperial navy, to assist in the affairs of the Nanyang, and go to Nanyang together to negotiate with the Dutch, and order Cha Xuan to lead the imperial navy to personally escort him, and Qin Mufeng will send a thousand cavalry elites from the three towns of Nanjing, loaded with guns and live ammunition, to protect the safety of the minister, and set off immediately from the date of receiving the order!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly kowtowed.

Sun Chuanting asked: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Dutch is like this first, so what about those foreigners in Yingtian Academy?" ”

After all, most of these foreigners were invited by the courtesy of the imperial court, and it was quite tricky to deal with them locally.

Zhu Jie snorted coldly: "Yingwu, the strength of your intelligence department in Nanjing is too weak, it must be strengthened, pass on the decree, transfer Duan Xuan to Nanjing, sit in the Nanjing Intelligence Department, directly responsible to me and the intelligence department, not subject to local constraints, let Duan Xuan have full authority to deal with this matter, but all the foreigners involved in it will be arrested and brought to justice, and they will be strictly interrogated, and also, strengthen the control over foreigners in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, whether it is teaching or doing business, we must find out their identities one by one, and file them with the Ministry of Intelligence. Violating the law of the country, they will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they are just small people of the vassal state, and they are not so polite to them, I invited them to come, so that they can give lectures and study knowledge, and those who dare to engage in such things as collecting intelligence and spreading heresy will be severely punished! ”

It seems that in the past two years, I have been too generous to these foreigners, so that they have forgotten what their surnames are called, Lao Tzu said with a high salary that you are invited, it is to teach and educate people, not to let you eat, drink and have fun, do it if you do it well, if you don't do it well, then get out of the way for Lao Tzu!

Zhu Jie will definitely not leave anything polite to these people, who do they think they are? If it is really Galileo, Newton and the like, I can reluctantly give some privileges, ordinary people, I can't commit anything taboo, even the king of the Netherlands, the pope of Rome, in front of myself, I have to be honest!

Gao Jie's face was red and white for a while, and he was speechless, in the final analysis, the intelligence department under his control really didn't give himself a long face in this matter, these little bastards are too useless, even if the emperor doesn't speak, he has to clean them up.

"Yifan, how many guns and ammunition are still in stock in the Firearms Bureau of the Beijing Ordnance Division now? And what about artillery? ”

Zhu Jie asked Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the new batch of firearms from the Ordnance Department and the Firearms Bureau has not yet been allocated to the military towns in various places, with a total of 15,000 guns, 2,000 boxes of ammunition, 50 artillery pieces, and 20,000 shells stored in the ......."

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Well, in this case, all this batch of weapons and ammunition will be allocated to Nanjing, as for the suspension of the distribution of the needs of the military towns, as well as the grain, grass and military supplies, they will all be sent to Nanjing, and you will personally go to Nanjing to coordinate the affairs of the expedition to Dongying, Lao Cha and Mu Feng have no problem in fighting, and the overall situation is still a little worse, or that sentence, we must start a war with Dongying as soon as possible, and I will serve Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai in a pot!" ”
