New Shun 1730

The subsequent detailed operations are also very clear.

Dashun sent envoys to Nanyang to count the "black households" who did not pay the head tax, and gave silver from the Dashun emperor's treasury according to the number of people.

At the same time, the envoys would guarantee that the Dutch would not throw them into the sea and drown them halfway. Complete the plan of the Governor of Batavia as soon as possible.

The original plan of the Governor of Batavia was three.

Kill them all.

Send them all back to Fujian.

Migrate to Ceylon and Ambon to do hard labor.

The war against Japan made the sugar export trade, which was already in big trouble, even worse, and the riots of the Chinese in Nanyang were imminent.

Dashun intervened, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made it clear that it would never allow them to return to Fujian. In the words of Duke Qi, these people returned to Fujian, with nothing to do and no way to make a living, and they would inevitably cause chaos. At that time, the blame for the rebellion would be placed on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They dared not kill them, nor could they send them back to Fujian, so there was only a third way to go.

And we must leave quickly and solve it within a year, otherwise there will be big problems. In fact, there is another solution. The Dutch East India Company will provide unemployment benefits to each sugarcane slave to survive the crisis of relative overproduction of sugarcane and complete industrial transformation, but it is obvious that the flag of the Dutch East India Company is not red.

The Netherlands hopes that this matter will be resolved quickly, and Dashun also hopes that this matter will be resolved quickly.

Liu Yu still has a plan in mind. The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire will be finished this year, and there are no male offspring. If this war does not start, it will be a ghost.

Sharing Minié bullets with France and telling France to transfuse blood from the American ginseng and mink trade, the French will definitely work hard in the lowlands. If the Netherlands does not join the war, it will be a ghost.

Time is urgent. Liu Yu does not want to solve the crisis in Batavia after going to Southeast Asia.

The Dutch are actually quite satisfied with this compromise. Looking at Southeast Asia, the most capable people are still the Chinese. Whether it is growing sugarcane, pressing sugar, building houses, or building castles, Batavia cannot be built without the Chinese. On the one hand, the Javanese were not good at craftsmanship, and on the other hand, the village community system had not yet completely disintegrated. In this era, anyone who could be a farmer would not be willing to be a hired worker.

Going to Ceylon and other places to work could not only alleviate the crisis in Batavia, but also lay the foundation for a foothold in India in the future.

Persia had problems, and Japan was monopolized by the Dashun trade, and the Netherlands was in urgent need of opening up new Asian markets. Looking around, of course, the most suitable place was India.

And basically these Chinese slaves were quite capable. Except for those thorny "Black Shirt Party", most people were hardworking and submissive. As long as they were fed and not starved to death, they generally would not launch a large-scale resistance.

In addition, the emperor had to pay a head tax for these people, even if it was one or two taels of silver per person, it would be a considerable income for Batavia.

The governor took a part, and the officials of all sizes shared a part. This was not the account of the head office, but also the hands of the China Trade Commission and those responsible for the negotiations.

Why did they run all the way from the Netherlands to Southeast Asia? For the Netherlands? The Netherlands doesn't even have a governor of the Federation now, isn't it just to make money?

Since it is good for both the public and private, it is really unreasonable not to agree.

The British envoys on the side felt helpless when they made such concessions to the Dutch. They wanted to take this opportunity to create a rift between China and the Netherlands.

But they didn't expect that Dashun would make such a big concession to the Netherlands and even recognized the Dutch rule in Southeast Asia.

When he was feeling depressed, Li Gan called the British envoys forward again.

"I heard that your country is at war with Spain. As long as your war is outside the Celestial Empire, it has nothing to do with the Celestial Empire."

"However, although you have made many requests and presented generous gifts, you have requested to stop at the Celestial Empire's ports for supplies. I am rich in the world, how can I agree to this small gift?"

Hearing this, the British envoy felt cold in his heart, but then he heard Liu Yu translate: "However, I think that if you go to sea for a long time without stopping, there will be many casualties. God has the virtue of loving life, and this matter can also be discussed. But if you stop, we have to allow the Spanish to stop as well. Otherwise, it would be like the Celestial Empire is close to your country and far from the West. The Celestial Empire treats all foreign countries equally, and it is absolutely impossible to allow your country to stop."

The British envoy's worry turned into joy. The Spaniards have the Philippines, so they don't need to stop at Dashun for supplies.

Allowing both countries to stop is actually taking sides.

In addition to being surprised, the British felt that they seemed to understand Dashun's considerations.

Nothing else, a historical legacy.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Britain was used as a gun by the Dutch. The commander of the combined fleet was a British, and half of the fleet was also British ships. They went to attack Macau, rob Chinese merchant ships, and check Japanese cargo ships. Finally, they were kicked out of East Asia and Southeast Asia by the Dutch after they were used up.

But the British felt that this hatred was much lighter than the historical issues between Spain and China.

The massacre of the Chinese in Luzon was one aspect.

The Dashun’s attitude of strictly guarding against Catholicism was also an important reason.

An important factor for the Netherlands to trade in Japan was that the Netherlands did not believe in Catholicism.

Although Dashun and France were very close, in the eyes of the British envoys, Dashun recognized the Netherlands’ rule in Nanyang and ended the war against Japan so quickly. Sweden also sent news that it would declare war on Russia. Obviously, Dashun wanted to take the opportunity to fight Russia.

Franco-Russian relations had never been very good before Queen Theresa mediated the Three Skirts Alliance. In this Russo-Turkish war, Turkey also asked France to mediate the ceasefire.

In the eyes of the British envoys, Sino-French relations are based on the foundation laid by the continuous dispatch of missionaries at the level of academicians of the Academy of Sciences since the era of Louis XIV, and also because both countries now have no good intentions towards Russia.

But if there were no Russia, Dashun would most likely not choose France as an ally due to France's religious beliefs.

France and Dashun still have a common enemy, but Spain is much luckier. In addition to the historical legacy of the Luzon Massacre, Spain's enthusiasm for missionary work, and the various religious groups in Manila, in the eyes of the British envoys, Dashun hopes that Britain will occupy Manila and expel the Catholic forces in Southeast Asia.

So there was this obvious "partial" move.

Although the ideal diplomatic situation of the British envoys also requires taking the opportunity to exclude the Dutch. But in the current situation, it is impossible to exclude the Dutch.

But if this condition can be achieved, it will be extremely beneficial to Britain.

The Dutch will not interfere in the Anglo-Spanish war, and they hope that the two countries will suffer losses. It is impossible to allow British warships to anchor in Dutch ports in Southeast Asia.

Dashun is no longer the same as before, and its control over Macau is quite strict. Under the current situation, it is impossible to directly anchor in Macau.

Of course, the British envoy also knew that Dashun would definitely put forward corresponding conditions. In the past, people thought that China was a place that only talked about morality and not interests, but now it seems that those rumors are not true.

The British envoy thought about it and thought that Dashun might need Britain to make concessions, that is, the Swedish trading company Dashun's shareholding.

However, this matter has already been irreversible. After the war between Britain and Spain, a lot of letters of marque were issued on both sides, and merchant ships were robbed from each other. Under this situation, it was difficult to control the smuggling activities of Sweden, Denmark and other countries. It is better to do a favor.

After the British envoy thanked the emperor, he said: "If you want to stop and resupply at the port of the Celestial Empire, you can only do so at the designated port. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will tell you and the Western countries where the specific location is. After entering the port, you must lower the flag, abide by the laws of the Celestial Empire, and close the gun ports of the warships."

"If you violate the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire will also sink it."

The emperor did not say the specific details, and asked the British envoy to thank him and then called the Portuguese tribute envoy to his side and talked about Macau.

The general idea is that during the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, Macau privately built city walls and bastions. The court knew about this, but thought that Macau would know that it was wrong and demolish them by itself.

But it has not taken the initiative to do so so far. In this case, the emperor had to order it to be demolished. Of course, during the lease period, as long as Dashun agreed to continue to rent it out and did not take it back, Dashun would protect Macau from attacks by pirates and foreign forces. There will be no more attacks on Macau by Britain and the Netherlands during the Tianqi period of the previous dynasty.

In the end, the envoys of almost all countries were instructed one by one, but there was no separate communication with the Russian world.

When the Russian world was left alone, the Western envoys were asked to return to their seats and the banquet continued.

The emperor did not directly mention the Northwest Boundary Treaty, nor did he even mention it.

But even the unofficial envoy, such as the director of the Danish Asiatic Company, asked about it specifically, but did not say a word to the Russian envoy. The implication was already very obvious.

The banquet continued, and the subsequent Yuefu songs and dances were constantly performed. These Western envoys also experienced the formal banquets of the Eastern court for the first time. Although they did not understand them, they watched them with relish.

At least, they could talk about it when they returned. If they lost power in the future, they could also write a memoir to introduce the high-standard banquets and music and dances of the Eastern court, which would not sell poorly.

The Russian envoy had no intention of watching it at all.

In addition to the news that the two Western envoys knew, the Russian envoy also knew a worse news.

The Turks captured Belgrade, and thousands of Serbian Catholics followed the defeated Holy Roman Army to flee Belgrade occupied by pagans.

Austria, the Roman Empire that couldn't even defeat Turkey, has withdrawn from the war. Russia won the Battle of Stavuczane with great effort and heavy losses, but it won in vain. Once the Holy Roman Empire ran away, Russia had to withdraw from the war quickly.

On one hand, Sweden was about to go to war with Russia, on the other hand, the Holy Roman Empire ran away and France mediated in the Russo-Turkish War, and on this side, Dashun recognized the Netherlands' rule over Southeast Asia...

Count Osterman knew that he... might have to sign a treaty that was more humiliating than the old Count Tolstoy's.

Secretly looking at Liu Yu, who forced the old Count Tolstoy to death, Osterman felt heavy.

His fate was very dangerous.

He was the confidant of Queen Anna, and the situation in Russia was already quite chaotic. There was too much dissatisfaction in Russia about Anna's use of Germans.

If the treaty is not signed, China and Russia, and Sweden and Russia will start a war right after the Russo-Turkish War. With the amazing logistical capabilities that Dashun showed in pacifying the Junggar Mongols, and the religious centripetal force of the old Oirat tribes in the Volga River after occupying the snow-capped mountains... I'm afraid this will be a disaster.

The old Russian nobles, who were already dissatisfied, and the Western French Party who followed Peter's will will unite.

If it is signed... it will still be the same. Anna, a German widow, will not feel sorry for selling Russia at all, and the argument that she will not feel sorry for selling Russia will still make the old party and the new party unite and use this excuse to oppose the German party.

In order to prevent Elizabeth of the new party from coming to power, the old party invited Anna, a German widow.

Now Anna has actually united the old party and the new party. If she can make the old party and the new party stand together, you can imagine how much opposition is accumulated within them.

Therefore, the top priority now is to sign the contract quickly.

Whether it is signed or not, it will cause chaos. Once Queen Anna dies, a large-scale purge will inevitably follow.

In this case, it is better to sign as soon as possible and not delay.

Return to the country quickly and prepare for internal fighting.

And a larger-scale purge.

After Anna came to power, in order to check and balance the Jinyiwei Preabrazhensky Corps Office of Peter's era, she set up the East Factory and West Factory Secret Criminal Investigation Office. The lover became the factory director, arresting, interrogating and executing people in a one-stop manner, killing and arresting thousands of people, and throwing 20,000 to 30,000 people to Siberia, and also tore a lot of old nobles to pieces.

If this is retaliated in the future... Russia is not the Roman orthodoxy after all. It will not be so gentle as just digging out eyes and castrating. It will definitely kill the whole family.
