Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 81 You Are Not Qualified To Talk To Me
"Respected Liu Zhongtang, I have been in contact with countless Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Mingzheng, and even Indonesia. I swear to God, you are the best of all Asians I have ever seen. Your proposal, let I am genuinely shocked and admired."

"Thank you, Governor Potter, you are also more outstanding than I imagined, and you are also younger and more promising."

In Xiamen, Liu Dapao came up with a very detailed idea about the establishment of West Pacific Company, and as it should be, all the people involved in the negotiation were stunned.

Rotoni, who had been prepared for a long time, was able to help out, and even help put pressure on him as a Portuguese soldier, while Wei Xiaobao, who accompanied him to supervise him, was acting like a fool at the moment.

What is a company, what is a stock, what is a bond, what is a short sale, he can understand every word here, but why can't he understand anything?
On the surface, Liu Dapao pretended to be calm and calm, smoking a cigar. To be honest, Liu Dapao was a little desperate to learn about Kangxi's coquettish operation before coming, but after many inquiries after coming, Still let him get a very interesting message, that is, the Dutch parliament thinks that the cost of the navy is too high, and has recently been discussing how to reduce military spending.

On the one hand, reducing the country's military expenditure, and on the other hand, lending to the Chinese navy. The fact that the Dutch parliament is greedy and corrupt has reached an unbelievable level. Although Emperor Kangxi behind him is stupid, the people behind the Dutch Parliament is worse.

From this point of view, it is really not in the slightest that the Grand Council President Johan de Witt was beaten to death by an angry Dutch mob after his defeat.

"Master Zhongtang, we are very interested in your proposal, but your proposal is too important, which is far beyond the scope of my authority. I suggest that we sign the Qing-Dutch Covenant first, at least first Ceded Xiamen to us, and after we finally negotiate the matter, we will use Xiamen to invest in the shares, what do you think?"

This is what it means to have long nights and dreamy dreams, and is anxious to settle down in Xiamen.

Liu Dapao heard the words, but he was already prepared and said: "May I ask Governor Potter, are you negotiating with me on behalf of the Dutch East India Company, or are you negotiating with me on behalf of the Dutch government?"

"Since it is an alliance between the two countries, I am of course representing the Dutch government now."

"If this is the case, please redeem me from negotiating with you. You see, our emperor sent his closest confidant, Mr. Wei, the deputy head of the imperial guards, to be the imperial envoy, and he will sign. So I request that if we talk about a covenant between countries, I hope to see an official of your country who can represent the Prince of Orange, that is, William III, to sign it."

How could Potter not understand Liu Dapao's meaning after hearing the words?He slapped the table angrily and said, "Prince of Orange is only 20 years old this year! He doesn't understand anything at all, he can't represent the Netherlands, the parliament is the highest administrative body of our Dutch government!"

"It's already twenty, haven't you been in power yet? What you said really hurt the relationship between our two countries. Our Qing emperor hasn't turned twenty this year."

Wei Xiaobao asked in a low voice after hearing the words: "What do you mean?"

Liu Dapao explained in a low voice: "To understand it simply, their Prince of Orange is equivalent to Kangxi, who became emperor at birth, and the state affairs were controlled by the republicans. This Porter is a republican, and their head DeWitt is quite Yu Aobai, the emperor is twenty now, and the republicans have been betraying the country for profit, the common people are very dissatisfied with them, and the emperor has always wanted to be in charge of the government, so I’m deliberately embarrassing them.”

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao regained his spirits, and as soon as he slapped the table, he said, "Okay! I understand, so you are a rebellious courtier and traitor from your Netherlands, and your what... the chairman of the council, it turns out that you are an Oboi!" Ah, what the hell am I talking about with you Oboi's dog leg!"

As he said that, Wei Xiaobao actually picked up the pen on the table and threw Potter.

Everyone in the Netherlands has green faces.

Liu Dapao hurriedly held Wei Xiaobao in his arms to stop him: "My lord, please don't do this."

At the same time, he secretly gave him a wink, gave him a thumbs up and gave him a thumbs up.

Wei Xiaobao, who was affirmed, let himself go more and more. He didn't know any martial arts, so Liu Dapao, who had already learned the blood shadow magic skill, couldn't hold back. After Cannon hugged his thigh tightly, he continued to pick up everything he could see on the table and throw at the Dutchman, and the curses in his mouth became more and more ugly.

"My lord, please calm down, don't do this, don't do this, the national conditions of the Netherlands are different from ours in the Qing Dynasty, the national conditions are different."

Then he turned to the Dutch mission and said, "Everyone, this Lord Wei became a high-ranking official in the Qing Empire because he helped His Majesty the Emperor eradicate the powerful minister Obai, so he is very concerned about this aspect." Things are more sensitive."

"What I mean is that our Qing Dynasty has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of your Netherlands, but anyway, the puppet emperor is also the emperor, right? You just let DeWitt send someone who can represent the royal family, and we sign the same? This We have sent imperial envoys, but you only have one general, this is really ugly, isn’t it?”

Potter patted the table with a livid face, and said angrily, "Enough!"

Then he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, sat down and said, "Master Zhongtang's understanding of our Netherlands is really shocking. Are you sure we won't let the Orange faction intervene in this matter?"

The so-called Orange faction refers to the royalists and conservatives in the Netherlands. They advocate returning the government to William III, increasing the local war budget, rebuilding the army, etc. They value their own interests and are incompatible with the republicans who currently value trade, colonies, and commercial development. , but has been suppressed by the republicans for so many years.

But right now the European battlefield in the Netherlands is very stalemate. The British and French allied forces have already reached their doorstep. It is true that William III has a lot of tricks, which caused the Orange Party forces to be somewhat irresistible. Therefore, Porter, as a republican general, could not let the Orange Party members get involved in this negotiation no matter what.

(William III was later the king of the Kingdom of China. The person who signed the Bill of Rights in the Glorious Revolution was the king of the two overlords of Britain and the Netherlands. He was a few years younger than Kangxi. He was already considered a modern figure. Sadly, Kangxi was older than He is still a few years younger, but whether he is wise or stupid, he is undoubtedly an ancient figure)

Liu Dapao didn't shy away either. He directly took out cigars from his pocket and distributed them one by one. He said with a smile, "When we talk about business, we talk about business. Why make it seem like we're talking about state affairs?"

Potter heard the words, but he laughed back angrily, and asked, "Then I don't know what Liu Zhongtang's position is, so are we talking about business now, rather than national affairs? Mr. Zhongtang actually understands our situation in the Netherlands." So deep, you have unique insights into business, companies, and stocks. We admire, admire, but we have checked your resume, and it seems that you have never been to sea? I don’t believe that there are people who are born with knowledge in this world. So, who are you?"
