Both Wimbers and Charles I feared that the growing power of the Netherlands and the Dutch East India Company would threaten the living space of the British.

In the vision of Charles I.

In the future, the British will have a firm grasp of the trade of the entire Atlantic, and even the countries bordering the Mediterranean should maintain trade with the United Kingdom.

Not only that, but in the future, the trade belt of the Americas will also have a place.

And the Netherlands... If they can continue to focus on Africa and Asia, it will not be a bad thing for the two countries to divide the world.

Of course, this stupid view could not even be listened to by Weinbers himself.

Next.

The Duke of Wimbers is once again in the halls of government in London, and today he will make an even more exciting announcement to the world.

It is the final decision to bring Britain to the protest of the Netherlands.

Countless people's eyes were focused on Wimbers on the stage, and many people couldn't stop talking.

"You know... Who the hell is this Duke of Wimbers? ”

"I don't know..."

However, another woman dressed as a noble lady on the side was blushing, and her eyes were full of prodigal spring waves, and she only heard her say: "This is Wimbers! All the women in the city of London can fall for him! ”

"It turned out .. It's a courtesan! ”

In an instant, everyone present who heard this sentence burst into laughter.

How chaotic is there in the aristocratic circle of the Belt and Youth, almost everyone in the world has heard of it.

Clearing his throat, Weinbers spoke: "Regarding the Dutch protest against the British some time ago, I will now announce our reply on behalf of the British royal family and the British government... Maritime regulations, have nothing to do with the Netherlands! ”

Hiss!

Everyone present was instantly shocked by this sentence!

A Dutch envoy stood up angrily!

He shouted at Wimbers, "Do you know it! What are you talking about? Can you bear the wrath of the Netherlands? ”

Unexpectedly, Wimbers spread out his hands and said slowly: "I think, as the Duke of Ying, what I said is already very clear.... This is an internal matter for us to bring to the UK, and we have the right to make any decision and not have to listen to other people's opinions! ”

"Good! You will pay a heavy price for offending the Netherlands today! ”

....

When the news came back to the Netherlands.

All the Dutch merchants were outraged, and of course almost all the Dutch civilians, because they all bought the shares of the Dutch East India Company without exception.

"Go to war!"

"Obi-Ying will definitely pay the price!"

The Dutch's anger didn't last long, when another piece of news made them angry again.

Port of London.

The British began to gradually seize the Dutch merchant ships docked here, and even used warships to capture a large number of Dutch merchant ships on the sea.

It's like a posture that is not afraid.

Just over a month after the promulgation of the Maritime Regulations, the Netherlands declared war on Britain!

"History will remember me, and I will leave my mark on the history of the British!" No one could understand why Wimbers was able to gain the trust of Charles I and put the British on the wheel of war with the Netherlands.

But now, there is no room for negotiation.

In the English Channel alone, the first Dutch dispatched more than 3,000 sail warships, and the Dutch, heavily armed, demonstrated their confidence as the world's maritime hegemon.

The coachman of the sea, not a joke ...

The British also reduced the volume of foreign trade across the board, and the strait became a battlefield overnight.

....

For the idea that Obiyoung once proposed.

About the Netherlands controlling Asia and Africa, while Britain controlling the Americas.

In this matter itself, the two hooligans at sea talked about it very well... But the problem is that when the Ming rose again, the Dutch were surprised to discover... If you want to continue trading in Asia, I'm afraid you'll have to follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

So compared to the Americas, isn't it a loss?

What's more, there is a very crucial issue that has not been considered in the two divisions of the world that Britain has preached before, that is, the distance between the Netherlands and the British is so close.

This little bit of trade on the doorstep... Whose is it?

...

A few months later, Daming ushered in his own spring.

The chill in the air began to dissipate, but Zhu Youzhen was listening to Luo's report in the Dongnuan Pavilion...

"Your Majesty! According to the information from the eyeliner we sent to the British and the Netherlands, as well as from some of the merchants we bought... There is a war between the British and the Netherlands! ”

Zhu Youzhen's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

He knows history well and knows how to follow the course of history.

The Anglo-Dutch War, in theory, should not have started until more than 20 years later.

At that time, due to the uneven division of the maritime trade, the Dutch, who were gradually showing their decline, were pressed to the ground by the newly rising Obiying.

And because of the defeat in this naval battle.

The Dutch eventually agreed to the British Maritime Regulations.

"How's the scale? Is it friction? Or is it..."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's going to be more complicated.. I heard that it was because of the British to publicize the "Maritime Regulations" they proposed... and began to capture Dutch merchant ships on a large scale, which led to the outbreak of this war. ”

I see...

The wheels of history roll forward, and in the process, one or two stones may appear in the wrong place, causing the wheels to turn or accelerate.

It's all trending.

"From today onwards, all Dutch merchant ships will be closely monitored to buy all the goods in their hands in the shortest possible time! I think it won't be long before I think it won't be long.... The Dutch are about to start returning home! ”

Luo Yangxing also nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, it is true, we should get the news much slower than the Dutch East India Company's Pulit, their branch in Tianjin heard that they have been selling their property in Tianjin recently. ”

"Your Majesty . . . Will the Dutch? ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "No!" The Dutch would never give up such a good situation, but because they were fighting with Obi-Ying at their doorstep, they had to find a way to keep their nest! ”

"They'll still be back... In this case, now in my opinion, I will simply be free and easy, as long as the price is reasonable, all the things of the Dutch will be accepted in full! ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Luo Yang nodded heavily.

This matter is not trivial, and it may be a great opportunity for Daming to say that it is not good!
