"The Ming people in Dongpu have already surrendered to the Ming court in Luzon, and now it is too late to add Chen Shangchuan and other Ming generals." A Quang Nam retainer stood up and vetoed.

"My lord, it's not too late to make amends." Ruan Youjing smiled and said towards Ruan Fu.

"Now Dongpu and Meidi are all subordinate to the Luzon Ming court, but the Luzon Ming court came from afar after all, and it is beyond the reach of Dongpu and other places, if Guangnan crowns Chen Shangchuan and other Ming generals, it will definitely make the Ming generals in the two places rebel." Ruan Youjing said.

"Since the Ming people have submitted to the Ming court in Luzon, what's the matter, when we add him a governor, he will rebel against the Ming court." Ruan Fushun looked at Ruan Youjing with disdain.

"My lord, I have personally led the troops into Dongpu, I have some understanding of these Ming people, presumably the move of submitting to the Ming court of Luzon is just the helplessness of Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others, after all, Guangnan turned his back on the Ming people of Dongpu, and the Zhenla army was eyeing the Ming court, and they had no choice but to surrender to the Ming court of Luzon, and as long as we signaled to the Ming people in Dongpu Meidi and other places, then presumably those Ming generals who were dissatisfied with the Ming court of Luzon would rise up and resist the Ming army."

"Yes, use the name of a governor to separate Dongpu from the Luzon Ming court." After listening to Ruan Youjing's plan, Ruan Fuhan couldn't help but quickly nodded in agreement.

"These Ming people are all those who fled to my Guangnan after the failure of the Qing Dynasty, and I personally set aside a piece of land for them to recuperate, and there must be many Ming generals who are still grateful to Guangnan, or not."

Nguyen Phuc immediately ordered to send envoys to Dong Pu and My Di and other places to crown the Ming generals.

When the envoys from Quang Nam went south to Dongpu, Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others had already followed Li Du's sailor warship to Luzon.

However, Xiao Wu did not return to Luzon together, but sat in Meidi Haikou, leading the water division of the town to monitor the Ming people in the two places.

With the occupation of Luzon by the Ming court, a large number of Chinese merchants began to attach themselves to the Ming court in Luzon, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce also grew.

When the merchant ships of the land and sea and the Ming Sea worked hard to establish a shipping route for the exchange between the Ming court of Luzon and Dongpu, and sent merchant fleets across the South China Sea, the merchant fleets of the open sea had already traveled to Batavia.

"I thought Manila was already the first city in the South Seas, but I didn't expect this Dutch Batavia to be so prosperous." After entering the city of Batavia, Zhao Tianming, a merchant ship owner in the open sea, walked around the city under the leadership of the local Chinese leader Kapitan (a kind of official position), and could not help but praise it.

It is different from the several massacres and bloody rule of the Chinese by the Spaniards on Luzon.

The Dutch have a very open and tolerant policy towards the Chinese in Batavia.

In the city of Batavia, the local Dutch governor was even willing to give certain rights to the Chinese.

And the Kapitan next to Zhao Tianming is the leader who manages the Chinese in Batavia.

The merchants of the far seas looked at the colonizer city with amazement, with its tree-lined streets and canals, and countless merchant ships passing through the river.

Several huge fortresses towered, and the glossy bronze cannon stood majestically, and the pitch-black muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the sea not far away, intimidating those who had bad intentions.

"Of course, they're as clean and tidy as any town in the Netherlands, although there aren't as many fancy houses." A Dutch street chief said with a proud face.

"Batavia, Queen of the East." Anderson couldn't help but praise as he looked at this beautiful city.

As an employee of the East India Company's Rawag Merchant House, Anderson was supposed to stay in Rawag City.

However, during this time, the open sea intended to open trade routes to Batavia.

Zhao Tianming also invited Anderson, who had a good relationship with the four seas, to trade with Batavia. valley

"Hehe, Anderson, the Batavia you see in your eyes was built for you Europa by our Ming people who came from afar." Zhao Tianming, the merchant shipowner, was proficient in English, and when he heard Anderson's praise, he nodded with a smile.

The construction of the city of Batavia, such as the excavation of the canal and the construction of the walls and houses, was all carried out by the famous Chinese leaders Yang Kun and Pan Mingyan.

In 1602, the Dutch United East India Company was established and began to unify trade with the East. The Dutch's final choice of a suitable location for the East India Company's headquarters in the early 17th century depended on two considerations: first, it had to be close to one of the two sea lanes (the Strait of Malacca and the Sunda Strait) for east-west traffic.

Second, it had to be easily accessible by Chinese galleons, after all, Westerners who came to the East were mainly doing business with China, and the Dutch were not surprised.

This led the Dutch to establish the city of Batavia in 1619 near the ruins of Jakarta's chieftaincy, where the chieftains were driven out of Jakarta and to Banten.

In the end, the dissatisfied Banten also united with the English to resist, but unfortunately in the end it fell short due to the departure of the English warship.

After 1620, a large number of Nanyang Chinese merchants and laborers went to Batavia City and began to build the city brick by brick.

It can be said that this Nanyang giant city was built on the blood and sweat of Nanyang Chinese workers.

"Yes, you Chinese have always been our Dutch friends, but it's a pity that your country was conquered by stupid and savage Tatars." The Dutch street chief shook his head and said.

The faces of the far-sea merchants present were a little embarrassed, which obviously pierced their hearts.

"Hehe, now that I, the Ming people, have established our own Ming regime on Luzon, and there is hope for opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty." Anderson said in Chinese.

He didn't care about the so-called anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty, but he was just appeasing these Luzon Ming people.

"Yes, I might as well tell you that my Luzon Ming Court has become famous all over the world, and even the Chinese in Annam have joined one after another." Zhao Tianming said with a smile.

Naturally, he said that Chen Shangchuan sent Chen Ande to Laoag to ask for help.

"Then I sincerely wish you all success."

"After all, we Dutch people have also suffered from the brutality of the Spaniards, and in the end we defeated the Spaniards with their fearless spirit and sailors." The Dutch mayor also wished him well.

Soon, Yuanhai and his party were invited into the mansion to rest.

"I really didn't expect that there are thousands of Chinese businessmen living here in Batavia." When Jiapitan informed Zhao Tianming that there were 2,000 Han people in Batavia, Zhao Tianming also sighed.

You must know that when the Ming army fled south from Taiwan all the way south to Luzon, there were only a few thousand Ming people in Luzon after several massacres.

And Batavia, which is far away from China, can gather so many Chinese businessmen, which can't help but make Zhao Tianming happy.

"When your Ming court occupied Luzon and fought with the Spaniards, the Chinese in Batavia were very panicked." Jiabidan poured a bowl of black tea for Zhao Tianming and spoke.

"Because it was feared that the rulers of Batavia would carry out a massacre of the Chinese in Batavia, as the Spaniards did in Luzon. Hundreds of Chinese dragged their families away from Batavia on merchant ships, and finally encountered a storm that killed dozens of people. Kapitan shook his head.
