Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 711 Apologize?Ceded a piece of land in South Africa first (please subscribe!)
"Your Majesty, it is William III who opposes Daming. Our East India Company was coerced before, but now we are sober, so Your Majesty, you understand that we also have the right to enter into a private treaty with Daming!"

Canfezis spoke Latin, which Zhu Kezang could fully understand. He often learned foreign languages ​​from beauties from other countries.

Like Portuguese and Latin Zhu Kezang are relatively proficient.

Rakshasa also speaks a little bit.

The Canfezis of the Republic is telling the truth, but the Canfezis of the East India Company is too beautified, it is actually a robber company legally engaged in zero-dollar purchases!
In fact, it is a group of people who look like dogs, believe in God, and the aristocratic masters of Europa who are passionate about charity are inconvenient to end up robbing.

Just come up with such a moth subsidiary company, hire some desperate people to go to sea to rob, and be a shareholder to share the dirty, get the benefits but not get notoriety and karma, and will not go to hell for killing people and setting fire to hell after they die.

This is really treacherous!

Zhu Kezang, for example, is much smarter. He directly sent Dongying people to do bad things. Hundreds of years later, even if someone turned over the old score, he could insist that he couldn't control the cruel Dongying people!

Ahem, no matter what, Zhu Kezang is now the supreme leader of the Eastern civilized world, of course he must maintain the order of the Eastern civilized world, and of course we cannot allow such bandit companies to come to the Eastern civilized world to do evil.

"Bold!"

Zhu Kezang was furious, and interrupted the profiteer Kanfezis, who was planning to bully the king, with a yell.

Zhu Kezang's angry reprimand frightened Kanfezis, a bandit colonist, so he didn't dare to knock his head, so he just lay on the ground, not daring to show his anger, for fear that Zhu Kezang would order to kill him. He was slaughtered.

Zhu Kezang scolded angrily: "You guys are clearly all pirates and bandits. They are all doing business of killing and stealing goods. Everyone is doing all kinds of evil. Why are you pretending to be a businessman with integrity? I know what you are doing. very!"

Ye Xingde also lowered his face, and said in urgent and fast Latin: "The emperor of Ming knows everything, and of course he also knows the evil things you Europeans have done in the name of licensed trading companies and missionaries. Now you are in front of Daming. If you dare to lie and cheat in front of the emperor, aren't you afraid that the emperor will behead you in anger?"

"It's wrong! Although our East India Company has done bad things in the other East, we always abide by the rules and regulations when we trade with Daming!"

Zhu Kezang did not intend to continue to argue with him, and said in Chinese: "Since you are here today, I think you must want to continue trading with Daming!"

Zhu Kezang got straight to the point, and he did not intend to completely cut off trade with the Netherlands.

But the Dutch East India Company had to pay the price!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we, the East India Company, have brought the greatest sincerity. We are willing to recognize Ceylon Island as Ming's undisputed territory, and also compensate 200 million silver dollars for this misunderstanding!"

Kanfezis knelt on the ground and said flatteringly!

"We, Ming Dynasty, have always been magnanimous, but I heard that the merchants of Ming Dynasty often encountered pirates on the way to Europa, especially when they were in the waters of Africa."

Zhu Kezang is actually eyeing a small territory of the Dutch East India Company.

That is Cape Town on the Cape of Good Hope!

The African continent is not only hot but also hot. Where there is a lack of water, it is too dry to grow crops, and where it is rainy, it is full of tropical rainforests, swamps, and poisonous insects.

Because of this, in history, except for the African region north of the Sahara, the southern African continent has hardly ever had a large and continuous empire.

Even in the colonial era, blacks in southern Africa were plundered by Europeans with overwhelming strength, and sold to the Americas as slaves like cattle. They were miserable. Perhaps this was their only value in front of European colonists.

Looking at the entire African continent, that is, the Nile Delta and the hilly areas in northern Algeria and Morocco are suitable for human survival, while the arid tropical grasslands south of the Sahara are humid tropical rainforests, or saline-alkali lands or deserts.

But there is one local exception in the southern African continent, and that is Cape Town, South Africa.

Because the geographical location of Cape Town, South Africa is so good.

Cape Town was a stronghold established by European colonists at the southernmost tip of the African continent in the early days, because at that time, if the colonial fleet wanted to reach Tianzhu and China to make a fortune, it had to go south along the African continent until the southernmost tip of the African continent (the Cape of Good Hope). to lead to the East.

That is to say, this place is first of all a very important military stronghold. Occupying this place can control the East-West throat channel at that time.

In addition, Cape Town's geographical conditions are very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an excellent location for building a country, for example:
In the waters near Cape Town, there are no islands within a radius of 4000 miles, and the water depth is mostly more than 4000 meters. The enemy cannot use the sea strongholds to fight.

In the direction of the mainland to the north of Cape Town, the Namib Desert is more than 1000 miles long on the west side, the Kahadi Desert Gobi on the middle side, and the endless hills and mountains on the east side.

More importantly, Cape Town is still surrounded by cliffs with an altitude of more than 1000 meters, like a hell, easy to defend and difficult to attack.Within the cliff, there are two basin plains with a total area of ​​about 1.6 square kilometers. The land is fertile, and it is also a typical Mediterranean climate feature, with abundant rainfall. This condition is very rare in the African continent.

If the cultivation area in the mountain valley is added, the total area is conservatively estimated to be more than 2 square kilometers, which is half the area of ​​Dongning Island.This geographical factor has created an excellent stronghold that can be attacked and defended.

And this kind of good place is now in the hands of the Dutch East India!

Even after the opening of the Suez Canal in later generations, giant ships over 25 tons still have to go to the Cape of Good Hope!

So having a piece of land in Cape Town is very important.

"Kanfezis, it's very simple to ask for Daming's forgiveness. I will lease a piece of land to the Ming Navy in your Cape Town colony. I don't want much land. If you agree, the trade war will be over!"

Zhu Kezang opened his mouth wide, while Kanfezis fell into deep thought.

Now the entire east belongs to Ming, if it can't trade with Ming, then what's the use of Cape Town Colony?

Anyway, the Cape Town Colony is the property of the East India Company, and the company has the final say on how to use it.

Anyway, they can't beat the Ming Navy, so it's better to rent it to Daming. There are two advantages in this case.

One is to continue to trade with Daming, and the other is to seek protection from Daming!
Now that the strength of the Dutch East India Company has been damaged, it is at its weakest moment. If the other countries of the Eight-Power Allied Forces focus on the Cape Town Colony, they will not be able to hold it!

Daming is a civilized country, so if you rent it to them, it should be fine, right?
