Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 172 Nanyang has been the territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times

The surrender of the Dutch seemed very interesting, and the Guards did not kill much after entering the city.

It was just that all the Dutch soldiers and Dutchmen in Batavia City were concentrated and detained, and they were not even tied up.

Because the city of Batavia was peacefully occupied, the order soon stabilized.

Zheng Kezang, a busy man, also took the time to inspect this center of East-West trade.

The Chinese in Batavia were the happiest when Ming Zheng occupied Batavia City, especially the two brothers Gao Changshan and Gao Yunqing who were appointed as Kapitan by the governor of Batavia.

The so-called Kapitan means "captain" and "chief" in Dutch. In order to better deal with the Chinese in Batavia and manage the Chinese village in an orderly manner, the Dutch started from the most prestigious A leader was selected from among the Chinese, and he was awarded the title of Jiapitan.

In fact, due to the huge differences in the natural environment, life and customs, the Chinese have always been reluctant to live in the Nanyang region for a long time.

However, the Qing Dynasty was too brutal, and many people fled from the Central Plains to Southeast Asia. The relatively prosperous Batavia also absorbed a large number of Chinese immigrants.

On the day when the Guards entered the city, brothers Gao Changshan and Gao Yunqing took the initiative to organize hundreds of Chinese immigrants from inside and outside of Batavia City, beating gongs and drums, carrying fruits and vegetables and other small gifts to the Guards.

Chen Weiguo, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, also took the opportunity to recommend these two brothers to Zheng Kezang, saying that they were loyal to King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty and could be appointed.

At present, Ming Zheng has no roots in Batavia, especially in the current situation where the number of such officials is seriously insufficient.

If Mingzheng wants to quickly establish order in Batavia, he cannot do without the help of these local snakes.

To this end, Zheng Kezang held a special meeting with influential local Chinese.

At the meeting, Zheng Kezang appointed Gao Changshan and Gao Yunqing as the head and deputy head of the Batavian militia to help the Guards maintain order, guard the Dutch detainees, and monitor the aborigines.

All of a sudden, the Chinese in Batavia took to the streets to celebrate.

You know, they were originally restricted by the Dutch, and they could only move within specific blocks, unless Chinese Kapitans like Chen Gao Changshan and Gao Yunqing had a small amount of privileges because they regularly paid a large amount of money to the Governor's Mansion.

At the meeting, Gao Changshan cried to Zheng Kezang: "Your Majesty, even though the villain was the Kapitan handpicked by the Dutch in the past, he is not even as good as the natives, and he is often abused by the villagers."

"Those treacherous Dutch people know that we Chinese are hardworking and willing to work, so they collect poll tax from us Chinese at least twice a year. We are miserable, just wait for Master Wang to make decisions for us!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Changshan burst into tears, as if he wanted to shout out all the grievances and pains in his heart.

The Chinese around shouted: "Boss Gao, I'm sorry for you!"

Gao Changshan wiped away his tears and said, "It's not hard, Master Wang is here, and I'm waiting for the Chinese people to have a better life!"

Zheng Kezang patted Gao Changshan on the shoulder: "President Gao Tuan, it won't happen in the future. I will govern this land in the future, and I won't be bullied by white pigs again."

"Now that Daming has just entered Batavia, many departments of the imperial court are extremely short of manpower. Do you have any suitable talents in your family to recommend to the king?"

Zheng Kezang's intention is very simple. He wants to use all these local snakes for his own use, let their children become officials, and then completely tie them to the chariot of the Yanping Palace.

When everyone heard the words, they all opened their mouths to recommend their own children who had a good reputation.

Zheng Kezang nodded and said, "Very good, Daming will never forget everyone's contributions!"

Of course, the children recommended by these people are not directly able to become officials. They are basically recruited to become small officials, and only the extremely outstanding ones are given to become officials.

Moreover, before taking up the post, they need to be sent to Dongning Mansion for training and assessment. Going to see the wonders can effectively increase loyalty. This is Zheng Kezang's secret book.

After completing the assessment, according to the principle of taking office in a different place, they can be transferred to other places to serve as officials. For example, these Chinese children from Batavia can be recruited to work in Luzon, so that it is not easy for a single family to dominate.

At the meeting, unlike those happy Chinese, the top executives of the East India Company were also present.

Although I can't understand Chinese, I know what I'm talking about at this time. It's nothing more than sharing Batavia's cake.

They were itching with hatred, but there was nothing they could do, and they had to pretend to be calm.

Moreover, the Dutch East India Company didn't even have a chance to fight back. Their colonies in Southeast Asia had been completely wiped out by Ming Zheng. What's more, sending a fleet over would be death!

Anthony bit the bullet and stepped forward to talk to Zheng Kezang: "Your Majesty the King, you should know very well that trade is the foundation of the Dutch East India Company. We will recognize Batavia as the territory of Ming Dynasty, but the Netherlands has to continue Continue to trade with His Majesty the King in Batavia!"

Now the Netherlands can lose Batavia because they can't beat it, but at least they haven't lost their trade with Mingzheng.

Once Mingzheng's trade is lost, what is left of the Netherlands in the East?
Nothing!
Now Mingzheng can be said to be a provider of world commodities!
Without Mingzheng's cotton cloth, perfume, rum, silk, porcelain and various other commodities, even if the Dutch sea coachman regained Batavia, it would not make much sense, because the Netherlands needs Mingzheng Zheng's merchandise.

As for the Qing Dynasty, what kind of waste is that, the boats can't even get out!

"Mr. Anthony, Nanyang has been the territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times, but Batavia, as a major trading port, is open to ships from any friendly country, and we also welcome businessmen from all over the world to trade there!" Zheng Kezang said generously Said.

Hearing this, Anthony tactfully knelt down on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

In order to pursue a sense of ritual, at the request of Zheng Kezang, Anthony signed a defeat treaty with Ming Zheng on behalf of the Netherlands.

In the treaty, the Dutch East India Company fully agreed to the conditions proposed by Zheng Kezang and returned all colonies including the Johor Peninsula, Java Island, and Sulawesi Island to Ming Dynasty.

That's right, here is handover, not cession.

Regardless of the difference between the two words, the meaning is completely different!

The return means that the Dutch have acknowledged Zheng Kezang's view that "Nanyang has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times".

And this also means that the "legal rationality" of Ming's rule over the Nanyang region has been recognized by other countries.

Does this matter require the consent of Mataram, Johor, Aceh and other small Southeast Asian countries?

Of course not!
Because in this world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, the weak have no right to speak, all they can do is to accept their fate obediently!
