The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Batavia Governor's Palace.

"Your Majesty the Governor, for the sake of protecting the health of countless civilians in Batavia, we can give up retaliating against the Ming Dynasty, but we still have to seek the greatest benefits for our East India Company through negotiations!"

The director who had clamored for revenge on the Ming Army from the beginning jumped out again after Governor Whitehead made his decision.

Whitehead glanced at the director but did not answer.

He knew very well that the so-called "for the health protection of countless civilians in Batavia" was a pure excuse.

In the eyes of these people in front of them, most of them really only care about their own interests.

"Gentlemen, regarding medicines, our time is very tight."

"It takes several days to get to Manila from here, and several days to get back. Some of our young men may not be able to hold on for that long, so we must immediately work out a charter for negotiations with Daming."

"Then let everyone share your opinions."

Just as Governor Whitehead finished speaking, a guard opened the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency the Governor, fellow directors, a group of Ming people came outside the Governor's Mansion. They said they were here to negotiate with us."

???

The guard's words made everyone in the venue start to stare.

They were just preparing to hold a meeting to discuss negotiations, but those Ming people were already here?

Or maybe those people were already waiting for them in Batavia.

"Your Majesty the Governor, it seems that this matter has been planned for a long time. I am afraid that the people's demonstration just now was instigated by them!" someone said angrily.

They had just received the news, and then people started a demonstration.

They had just decided to negotiate with Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty delegation immediately appeared here.

No one is a fool. This has almost made it clear that Akito is the driving force behind this series of things.

But what can they do now but resent?

They even have to thank Akito's delegation for showing up, because it will save them a lot of time.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Mingren came to negotiate in such a hurry. Could it be that they are in a hurry?" The director who spoke positively spoke again at this time.

Governor Whitehead glanced at this director who had always been very active. He was curious about how this person got into the position of director. Is it because of the pile of paste in his head?

What is Mingren anxious about?Are you worried that we will be slow to send money to them?

On the other hand, if they don't hurry, Batavia's shroud may not be enough.

Because of the appearance of the Ming Dynasty negotiation delegation, the Dutch invited them in after just a few brief discussions.

Then, they saw a group of Jin Yiwei in bright blind flying fish uniforms following a middle-aged man in python suit into the venue.

The senior executives of the Dutch East India Company present looked at the gorgeous clothes of the royal guards, and then looked at themselves.

Zhuo, it turns out that I am a bitch!

"I am Xi Cheng'an, the commander of the Fusi of the Jinyiwei North Town of the Ming Dynasty. Under the orders of His Majesty Emperor Yun of the Ming Dynasty, I am fully responsible for negotiating with He Yi."

Xi Chengan's fluent Dutch relieved the Dutch who were worried about not having a translator.

But He Yi?

This doesn't seem like a good word.

As for why Xi Chengan speaks Dutch?It makes sense for a secret service boss to speak eight languages.

Moreover, Commander Xi was fished out of the military camp by Emperor Zhu Da at a cost of 20 taels of silver.

The two parties quickly took their seats. Governor Whitehead turned his head and called the lieutenant colonel who knew more about Ming Dynasty to him. He asked in a low voice:

"Lieutenant Colonel Cronin, what is the official position of the Commander of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty the Governor, the Jinyiwei are the personal troops of the Ming Emperor and have great power! They are not only responsible for the emperor's ceremonial guard and bodyguards, but also responsible for reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other functions. The commander of Beizhen Fusi is their highest officer."

Lieutenant Colonel Cronin replied in a low voice. Of course, what he said was not accurate. In addition to Beizhen Fusi, Ming Dynasty also had a much lower-profile Nanzhen Fusi.

Governor Whitehead nodded, but the commander of the Royal Guards did not seem to be responsible for diplomacy.

"Dear Commander, our company has always been committed to maintaining good relations with Daming.

This friction between our two sides in the North Sulu Sea has caused heavy losses to our East India Company. However, in order to maintain friendly relations with Ming Dynasty, we will not hold Ming Dynasty responsible.

But I hope that Ming Dynasty can release our captured personnel, withdraw from Puerto Princesa, and ensure normal trading relations between the two parties. "

Governor Whitehead said slowly.

After hearing this, Xi Chengan's face was calm and he spoke out the request in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Your Majesty the Governor, there is an old saying in our Ming Dynasty that we cannot allow others to snore on the side of the bed. Palawan Island is only a day's flight from our Dingtian Mansion in the Ming Dynasty. Since it is now occupied by us, there is no possibility of evacuating. .

Not only that, you must immediately withdraw from Sulu, Balni, Mindanao and other areas, and hand over the murderer of the Balni royal family! "

Xi Chengan's words shocked all the Dutch people in the conference room.

Governor Whitehead also looked shocked.

He originally thought that his stance had been set very low and his demands were not excessive, and that both parties should be able to reach a consensus easily.

But they never imagined that not only did Ming Dynasty not intend to return Puerto Princesa, but they even wanted them to withdraw from Sulu, Bo Ni, Mindanao and other areas!

If they really follow this request, what have they gained from their recent expansion to the north?

Just those small sultanates south of Balni?

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have shown due sincerity in this negotiation, but unfortunately, I have not seen this from you. If you insist on the above requirements, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach a consensus in our negotiations. .”

Whitehead said with an ugly expression.

"In that case, I take my leave and wish you all good luck!"

After saying that, Xi Chengan stood up and left with a group of royal guards without any pause...

Xi Chengan's operation completely confused these Dutch people.

Didn’t you say you were here to negotiate?

How many words did you say in total?

Get up and leave the scene after a disagreement?

Which country's diplomats negotiate like this?

a long time……

"Wow!"

Governor Whitehead angrily smashed the teacup set from the Ming Dynasty on the table to pieces.

"Your Majesty the Governor, these arrogant Akito have no sincerity in negotiating! Let's start a war! We must teach them a lesson."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor, these damn Akito must be punished for their arrogance!"

The directors who were outraged by Xi Chengan all shouted with their faces turning red.
