Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 414
Spanish Ambassador Silva reached out to receive the notice from Dutch Ambassador Dennis.

After only one glance, his face changed, and he exclaimed in his mouth:
"God, is Daming crazy? How is this possible..."

While Silva was shocked, the Portuguese ambassador also saw the notice.

He was also secretly thankful that Daming did not treat Portugal like he treated the Dutch.

They once also occupied Macau of Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ming Dynasty just wiped out their troops stationed in Macau, and did not demand compensation from Portugal.

After a while, the Spanish ambassador Silva's little mind became active again, and he began to gloat.

The Netherlands was once a Spanish colony, and it became independent after nearly 60 years of wars.

To be honest, Spain does not have a good opinion of the Dutch.

Of course, it is impossible to show these things, you can only enjoy them in your heart.

As for the Macau issue, the Portuguese ambassador got it wrong. It wasn't that Ming didn't want them to pay compensation.

They occupied Macau as a rented place, and they paid rent to Daming at the beginning, and it was still a lease in name.

The Netherlands is different. They directly invaded and occupied Taiwan, completely treating Taiwan as their territory.

The Portuguese had already experienced the power of the Daming ironclad warships, and their ambassadors also began to make their own calculations in their hearts, and fell silent for a while.

But the Spanish ambassador Silva is also very bad. In order to completely tear the face of Holland and Daming, he ruthlessly took Dennis into the army.

"Mr. Dennis, you are known as the coachmen of the sea, and you are currently the strongest country in the world, are you still afraid that Ming Dynasty will fail?
This kind of unequal treaty, even if our Spanish empire is not as powerful as before, we will never agree to them. This is a naked challenge to the sea coachman...

Several other ambassadors didn't understand what Silva meant, so they quickly gathered around to watch.

Only then did they realize that things were not as simple as imagined, and Daming actually demanded huge compensation from the Netherlands.

"Mr. Dennis, what's going on? Could it be that Daming is strong enough to threaten the Netherlands?"

Dennis smiled coldly:
"Of course not, this is just Da Ming's wishful thinking, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will never compromise with them.

This ambassador has already reported to the higher-ups that not only will we not compensate Daming a penny, but we want them to make compensation and apologize for Daming hurting my Dutch soldiers. "

Several ambassadors echoed almost unanimously:
"That's right, we must show Daming some color, otherwise we will have difficulty in preaching in Daming.

We will also report the situation here to the empire and stand firmly with you.

If there is a war between you and Ming Dynasty, we will be the strong backing of the Netherlands.

Let's take our leave now, go back and report to the higher up immediately...

The tone of these people was very firm, they all expressed their support for the Netherlands, and then hurriedly left.

The purpose of these people is to discuss how to deal with the two decrees of Ming Dynasty.

However, when they saw that Daming had taken Holland under the knife, they immediately changed their minds and prepared to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

If the Netherlands is defeated by Ming, they will take the opportunity to snatch the colonies of the Netherlands.

If Da Ming is defeated, they will also take the opportunity to blackmail Da Ming and get the benefits they want from Da Ming.

It can be said that Westerners are not so united, nor are they monolithic. They all prioritize their interests.

Adding insult to injury is the method that Westerners are best at using, and they will not sympathize with the weak.

As a senior diplomat in the Netherlands, how shrewd Dennis is, how could he fail to see the faces of these people.

Looking at the backs of the ambassadors of several countries leaving, Dennis spat hard at their backs.

Although he was ashamed, Dennis knew that now was not the time to offend these countries.

Once Ming really took action against the Netherlands, the Netherlands would not be able to deal with countries such as Ming and Spain at the same time.

Taiwan
One day after all the Ming troops landed, they immediately began to divide the fields.

At that time, Taiwan's population was small, and if each household was allocated a few acres of land, there would still be a large amount of land left over.

The remaining land will be built into farms and will be used as supplies for Taiwan's garrison in the future.

The people in Taiwan were treated the same as the people in the mainland. Ming canceled all their taxes and only collected a small amount of grain.

The standard is [-] catties per mu and [-] catties of harvested grain, and no further fees will be charged.

In the past, most of the food grown by the Taiwanese people was taken away by the Dutch, and they couldn't get enough to eat.

As a southern region in Taiwan, rice can be planted three times a year. With such a low grain cost, the people can not only completely solve their food and clothing, but also have surplus rice to sell for money. The difficult life will be completely changed.

The common people were very grateful for the arrival of the Ming army. Not only did they help them drive away the red-haired ghosts, but they also provided food and clothing for them.

The vast majority of Taiwanese people began to have a strong sense of belonging to Ming Dynasty, and they were all proud of being citizens of Ming Dynasty.

Some people are happy and some are sad. The common people are happy, but the chieftains of Bula and Bazehai are very angry.

Although the Ming army did not confiscate all their land, they suffered great losses.

In the past, many common people were their tenants, but now they have turned themselves into masters.

In the past, they had several thousand or even tens of thousands of acres of land, but now they are divided into half by the people.

It can be said that the land that has been seized with great painstaking efforts is now spit out again.

This is often the case with people who are dissatisfied. They only think about losing the land they have occupied.

But I don’t think about it when the Dutch ruled Taiwan. Although they had a lot of land, most of the harvest was harvested by the invaders, and the remaining harvest was less than half of what it is today.

Even so, not only were they not grateful to the Ming army, but they also began to hate the Ming army.

They even treat the people as a thorn in their side, and everything here belongs to them in their eyes.

Since they are single and weak, they know that they cannot fight against Da Ming.

In order to drive the Ming army out of Taiwan, they found the king of the Dadu Kingdom, and wanted to fight against the Ming army together with the Dadu Kingdom.

If the Ming army can be driven out of Taiwan, they will share Taiwan equally with the Dadu Kingdom.

Alami, the king of the Dadu Kingdom, was originally a vassal to the Dutch, and they were very resistant to the Ming army in their hearts.

As a result, a few brain-deads quickly reached an agreement, planning to attack the Ming army and Han people and some Taiwan natives who were pro-Ming.

They didn't even think about it, even if the Ming army withdrew voluntarily, would their few people be able to go to Taiwan?

In a village in Changhua area, several Ming soldiers were surveying the villagers' fields.

The people who got the fields were very happy. They had already explained that the army was dividing the fields, and today it was finally their turn.

In order to thank the Ming army, the people gave the Ming army the little food at home.

Several middle-aged women enthusiastically brought some fruits and wanted to thank their benefactor.

"Master Jun has worked hard, and we don't have anything good to entertain you, let's have some fruit..."

Taiwan is not a small place either. The Ming army had just arrived and was not very familiar with many places.

Therefore, a new group of locals was recruited to join the Ming army. The main task was to measure and allocate fields for the common people.

Zhang Wu is the leader of the Ming army, and they are all Taiwanese who have just joined the Ming army.

Seeing that the eldest sister was so polite, they didn't refuse, each picked up a fruit and laughed:
"Our military discipline is very strict. You can't just ask for things from the common people. Make an exception today. Don't give us anything to eat in the future."

The elder sister smiled softly and said:

"Master Jun is fine, they are all picked in the mountains and don't cost money..."

Before the elder sister finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away?

They all held knives and guns in their hands, and rushed towards Zhang Wu and the others shouting loudly.

"Kill them, we can't let these Han people divide our fields..."
