Thanks to the continued trade between the Ming and the Netherlands, Plitt acted quickly and reported the matter back to China in a short period of time.

Of course, the current poor means of communication make this process a little longer.

But as Pulit, who was in charge of the Oriental trade at the moment, he was not worried that the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company would remove him or hold him accountable for such a "trivial matter".

After all, for him, as long as he can make money...

Others, perhaps, are not particularly important.

At the Daming branch of the Dutch East India Company, Pulit's impassioned speech was interrupted by a member of parliament from the country.

Yes.. Parliamentarian, the Netherlands in the first year of Chongzhen has successfully entered the federal republic decades ago, and controls the country through a representative system.

"Count Plit, please wait a minute, I have a question for you.."

Plitt looked displeased, pressed the urge to wave the cane in his hand and hit the young councillor in front of him, and said angrily: "Then what are you waiting for? ”

The young councillor stood up and looked around before he said slowly: "First of all, Your Excellency the Earl of Plit, I would like to emphasize one thing first, this is the last time I will call you an earl, because the Dutch Republic does not have the title of earl, and your title is only given to you by the Dutch East India Company. Earl of the East .."

The young man's words stung Pulit deeply and made his face even more gloomy.

"Second, are we really going to approve such a large war bond trade? You know, as far as I know, the total trade of the Dutch East India Company in the East last year was only about 200 million guilders, and this time plus the last time, we have to invest more than 200 million guilders here, which I don't understand..."

"Finally.." The young councillor's gaze was locked on Prit's face.

"Do we really want to sit idly by and ignore the rise and development of this great eastern power? Just because you guys can make a lot of money out of it? ”

Pulitt couldn't help but curse in his heart: "If it weren't for the Dutch East India Company, a guy like you would have gone to the streets to ask for food!" ”

But in fact, he still held back the anger in his heart and said: "Our trade with the Ming Kingdom has brought us unimaginable benefits, and the domestic textile industry and maritime trade will all benefit from this transaction."

Plitt digressed.

But the company employees on the side kept nodding their heads one after another, just because for them, the interests are the same, so the position will definitely be.

The young councillor frowned: "I should be talking about how we should deal with these Easterners if we let them rise again..."

"The situation in Asia is not something we can control, you see, I am only the head of the Dutch East India Company in the East, and for me to generate profits for the company, is the only thing I have to do."

"But you still didn't say that if the Orientals rise, they will have the ability to wrestle with us at any time... By that time, will trade between us really be sustainable? ”

What the young councillor said was echoed by many people in the room.

After all, there is no problem with what he said, once the Orientals rise, how can Plitt ensure that the interests of the Netherlands can still be maintained in it and will not be affected.

"It's impossible!"

There has been no substantial progress in this discussion, and the two sides are still engaged in a war of words, which may simply be due to their different positions.

Plitt rubbed his brow, the Dutch parliamentarians who made a living from manipulating politics always liked to come up with conspiracy theories from time to time to show that they were knowledgeable and far-sighted.

As everyone knows, there is no absolute friendship in this world, only eternal interests.

Of course..

The final outcome of such a meeting did not affect anything, and for the Dutch East India Company, the position of the Oriental trade was already very important.

Something like what a junior councillor said today may not even meet the standards of the bill in Parliament. 、

The tricks of the little foxes are far less than the cunning of the old foxes.

But the young man's words still made Pulit a little worried, in fact, what the other party said was not wrong, and there was no one in the Netherlands at the moment who could completely protect his interests in the future.

The only good news now is that only the country is still fighting back and forth with Spain.

And Daming is far from the country.. Far enough.

So everything is not too bad.

As a result, on the last day of May in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch East India Company officially submitted an application letter to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, the Bureau of Commerce, and the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty on the subscription of the war treasury bonds of the Ming Empire.

And at the scene of the signing of the final details of the treaty, Pritt, who temporarily acted as a Dutch diplomat, smiled happily.

It's just that when he knew that everything was finalized, Zhu Youzhen smiled even more happily in the palace.

"Tell Wang Yisi of the Royal Directorate General of Industry that their speed is too slow! The war in Liaodong needs to be accelerated by me! Those fifteen infantry divisions! It's my confidence! ”

"The old slave obeys... This is a trip to the Royal Directorate General of Industry. ”

"Go, go. It is also beneficial for Wang to go in person, so that Wang Yisi can pay enough attention to this matter, and I don't have so much time! I will also build the first militarized shipyard in Daming this year! I'm busy! ”

...

The battle of Uiju City ended quickly, almost beyond everyone's expectations, and of course the stupid Uiju garrison was the key to this victory.

.. Yes.

After the Tianhu Army successfully solved the only worry of being attacked by the enemy on its belly and back, and after solving the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of Mongolia, it can be said that there is almost no need to worry about the possibility of a knife from the back from time to time.

On the contrary, the Mongolian tribal leaders who got on the Huang Taiji thief ship may not have a good winter this year.

The rules on the prairie are rough.

Friction and fighting between tribes were even more indispensable, as the Mongols in the west lived more and more nourishingly through trade with the Ming Dynasty, and had more and more sophisticated weapons in their hands.

When the Mongol tribes in the east had broken their front teeth because they had heard that Huang Taiji's flatbread had collapsed...

The Mongol tribes, who have mastered the more fertile eastern steppes, can imagine the fate...

To say that after the attack on Yizhou, Bi Zisu originally wanted to grind in Yizhou for a while, the purpose of course was to clean up the remaining Mongolian forces in the vicinity.

However, Meng Tu rarely rejected Bi Zisu's proposal.
