Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 741 Bright Future

Among them, one group of people were more ornately dressed and looked the most ugly compared to ordinary Dutch businessmen.

"There are 110 three battleships here alone, and the other battleships and ships are simply uncountable. With such a powerful navy, gentlemen, I think we need to adjust the plan given to us by the parliament. This is very necessary."

"Is the king's brother still unwilling to help us?"

"What a king. The Netherlands doesn't need a king."

"A king is a king. At least the king in the east would certainly be more willing to negotiate with another king."

"But he doesn't want to."

"His performance at the Islands Pavilion is very good and he will be promoted soon. He will definitely want to go to a good place to be the governor."

This group of people were envoys from the Netherlands.

The governor of Taiwan and an entire city were captured as slaves. This was absolutely intolerable to the Netherlands. They had to rescue them, otherwise their republic, which was somewhat out of place at the same time, would become the whole of Europe after a while. The laughing stock.

So the news traveled very quickly between the East and the West.

The Governor-General of the Dutch East India had previously sent many people to ask for help, and also came to Black Flag Qing Dynasty to ask Zhu Youjian to release him.

But the mission almost got trapped in the Qing Dynasty.

The difference between face and skin color is indeed greater than the difference between language and culture.

The same East Asians fell into the hands of slave owners and were mistreated, which inevitably caused gossip. After all, the culture we mainly admired in the Qing Dynasty was Han culture and Confucian culture. There are many dogmas in it that lead people to do good, and the moral bottom line is relatively high.

The laws inherited from the Ming Dynasty did not advocate slavery.

Most of the Chinese literati and gentry circles scolded slavery, lamented the hardship of ordinary people's livelihood, and scolded slave traders, while still feeling at ease or occasionally feeling guilty about ordering slaves.

But it's different for white people.

They are very different from East Asians.

There are many more innate conditions that are not considered human.

It's very popular.

The previous envoys were still treated politely in the capital. After leaving the capital, slave owners came directly to ask for the price of the soldiers and followers who would protect them.

The eager look frightened them and they hurried back to ask the Qing court to send someone to escort them out to sea.

Even so, I was followed for a while on the sea.

If they hadn't been sailing offshore, the members of the mission might have been foraging for food in the fields of Liaodong.

Yes, driven by multiple profits, raiding foreign missions at the risk of being held accountable by the court is also an option that can be tried.

But this mission is smarter.

They had long known that the Black Flag Wuerte was going to cross the sea by boat to go to the four islands, so they simply waited here.

Along the way, you can also recruit someone to help take the blame.

With that said, several envoys started talking about the Ming Dynasty.

The treaty to carve up the overseas world had reached the Dutch.

Previously, the Dutch made such a fuss about Spain and Portugal, mostly as a joke. They only said that Spain was barely qualified, and Portugal was really delusional. The two countries had beautiful ideas.

But this contract is different now.

It's very different.

"How long do you think Manila can last?"

"The Sultan of the Bangni Kingdom agreed to the company's request. If the coalition forces arrive in the southern Philippines, they may be able to relieve the siege, but it is completely impossible to drive the Ming people out of the Philippines.

Although those priests were labeled as heretics by the Pope, they still had connections with the company and various kingdoms. They showed that the imperial court was very enthusiastic about Manila, and the great eunuch sent back to them all the gold sand and treasures collected there. s capital"

"Have a bite?"

"Uh-huh."

As he said this, several people's expressions became even worse.Each person took out a cigarette and handed it to the person next to him.

It's really just a decent cigarette with a filter, but the content in the filter is cotton.

"The tobacco of the Qing Empire is also a great discovery. At least it is much more refined than the tobacco we grow. It doesn't look difficult to make. It will be sold well in Nagasaki after being processed like this, and maybe it will be very good in Batavia as well." Sell."

"I heard that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty came up with it because he was worried that the people's smoking of tobacco would harm their bodies and affect their military operations."

Speaking of this, one of the envoys had a look of hatred on his face: "It's not that the Netherlands doesn't need a king, we need a good king! The emperor of the Qing Empire! For what he did, there may be no wiser person in the whole world than him. A powerful monarch again, to be honest.”

"Ugh!"

Several people looked sad and puffed out smoke.

The future of the former East India Company was bright.

What now?
That piece of paper seemed like a big mountain.

Nowadays, it is just the Ming Dynasty's radical "pacification of places and recovery of lost territory" in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

So what if the Qing Dynasty also started to invade their colonies?

After all, in everyone's eyes, the four islands to the east of the Qing Dynasty have been captured. Except for the legendary extreme cold land in the north, there is just a vast ocean. No one has ever actually explored that sea area.

If the Qing Dynasty wanted to expand overseas, it could only go south.

One Daming is enough for them.

Spain even said it couldn't stand it.

Manila City, Luzon.

At the beginning of the fourth month of the siege.

The situation has already taken a turn for the worse, and now Manila is at rock bottom.

The expected reinforcements did not come.

Ming army reinforcements arrived.

The Sulu Sultanate couldn't put it down for the strong thighs of the Ming Dynasty. The princes sent by the three major powerful families in the country recognized Wang Chengen as their godfather, and in exchange for a batch of Ming Dynasty firearms, many simple weapons such as spears and knives, and then also With the qualification to purchase weapons and equipment from Nanyang Company.

Then he continued his efforts, offering gifts and asking for closure.

The news reached the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Longwu was also very enthusiastic about this, and he actually found the heir of the Eastern King who died of illness on the road from Sulu to the Daming tribute and stayed in the Ming Dynasty.

This person is also quite good at using his identity.

After recognizing the relationship with the Sulu envoy, he worked hard to obtain rewards on behalf of Sulu. He also wrote articles and worked hard to lick the relationship.

For a time newspapers also operated.

Sulu successfully joined the ranks of the good sons of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Sulu also relied on the support of the Nanyang Navy to dominate Brunei, and began to send troops to regain lost territory, bringing together a large number of indigenous tribes and small kingdoms in southern Luzon.

In the end, an army of 10 people was formed, and it took one month to fight from southern Luzon to the city of Manila. By the time they joined the siege, the size of the army had swelled to [-] to [-]!
Although they were unorganized and undisciplined, their equipment was uneven and even contained bronze and stone tools.

But there are so many people.

Many indigenous people in northern Luzon who were watching saw that something was wrong.

The wallflower finally completely leaned towards the Ming Dynasty.

All parties sent troops, plus the troops of Zheng Chenggong and the Nanyang Company, a total of 20 troops besieged Manila.

On the day when the outer city wall of Manila was broken, Zhu Youjian was still planning on the ship the several stages of future colonization, how to develop the place in America, how to get along with the Indians, and at the same time taught Ci Shuo, the eldest of the several children. Learned a few more words.

The ship will finally arrive in Tokyo that night.
