The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.
Chapter 73 Unequal Treaty between Ming and Netherlands
"Sir, will the Dutch turn against us if we do this?"
In a small courtyard, a Jin Yiwei said worriedly.
"Falling out? The Dutch don't have the courage yet!"
"You have also seen, what is the situation in Batavia now? Even if there is a war, what will they use to fight us? With those soft-footed shrimps that can no longer stand up?"
"What's more, if a war breaks out, it will mean that the survival of those infected with the disease is eliminated. The angry people will probably tear the wine bags and rice bags in the Governor's Mansion into pieces."
"So all we need to do now is wait, they are much more anxious than us."
In fact, Xi Chengan is not very clear about the bottom line standard given by His Majesty Emperor Zhu Da that "the Ming Dynasty will not give up an inch of land".
What is the Ming Dynasty?
Sulu, which petitioned to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, is regarded as the country of the Ming Dynasty. What about Balni?
It was just a vassal state, not to mention only in name.
Strictly speaking, Palawan and Mindanao have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
However, Xi Chengan can be sure that if he gets all the above places.
His Majesty will definitely be happy.
Not surprisingly.
Early the next morning, the Dutch respectfully invited Xi Chengan and his party to the Governor's Mansion.
"Your Excellency, Commander, after a night of discussion, we basically agree with your request, but we hope that the great Ming Emperor can reduce the tariff on sulfonamide drugs. Now that the epidemic is raging in Batavia, for the sake of God, help Help these poor civilians."
Governor Whitehead pleaded, putting aside his status.
In fact, after Xi Chengan left the scene yesterday, the extremely angry Governor Whitehead almost ordered a war with the Ming Dynasty.
But in the end, reason prevailed over anger, and he endured it.
And just this morning, the military reported to him that two of the first batch of sick soldiers died of diarrhea and dehydration just last night.
As soon as this incident came out, he knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
That's why now he holds his nose and swallows these bitter pills.
Seeing that the Dutch surrendered, Xi Chengan did not continue to make things difficult for the Dutch.
"Since the Governor is so sincere, I am not an unreasonable person."
"As for the tariff issue on sulfonamide drugs, I can make the decision and exempt the drugs from tariffs! Of course, this is only for this transaction. And we can deliver the drugs to Batavia within 5 days."
"In addition, regarding the issue of prisoners of war, we can also release everyone, but your company must pay for the food and accommodation expenses incurred by these prisoners of war during their custody."
Xi Chengan's words made Governor Whitehead look much better, but will the medicine be provided within 5 days?
"Your Excellency, Commander, thank you for your kindness, but Manila is far away from Batavia. It takes at least 10 days to go back and forth. How can we transport the medicine here in 5 days?" Whitehead asked curiously.
"This is our business."...
Finally, after finalizing the remaining details, the two parties signed an agreement, known in history as the Ming-Dutch Agreement.
The agreement stipulates:
The mercenaries of the Dutch East India Company withdrew from Mindanao, Palawan, the Sulu Islands and the Bo Ni region.
It also recognized that the Ming Empire had territorial sovereignty over Palawan Island, the Sulu Islands and the Bo Ni region.
The Ming Empire sold sulfa drugs worth 400 million taels of silver to the Dutch East India Company at "ex-factory prices" without customs duties.
The Ming Empire unconditionally released the Dutch prisoners of war, but the Netherlands had to bear the food and lodging expenses incurred by the prisoners of war during their custody.
As for the severe punishment of the murderers of the Balni royal family, neither party mentioned it again.
And the 15 captured warships of the Dutch?
Until now, the Dutch did not know that any of their warships had been captured by the Ming army. After receiving the letter provided to them by Jin Yiwei, they had always acquiesced that all warships had been sunk.
……
"Xi Chengan did a good job!" In the office, Zhu Heyi was in a happy mood, holding the "Minghe Agreement" sent back by Xi Chengan.
This is a completely unequal treaty!
With the release of this treaty, the series of events caused by the Sulu King finally settled.
From this whole incident, Daming made a lot of money.
Not only did he get a sulfa order worth 400 million taels of silver, but his sphere of influence also expanded to the coast of the Sulu Sea!
And the navy has added 15 new warships!
Although some warships are somewhat damaged and their displacement is smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty's current warships, as long as these warships are refitted, the strength of the Ming Royal Navy will be doubled.
This will be of great help to Zhu Heyi's next Taiwan offensive.
By the way, Zhu Heyi also felt much better about the Sulu King with a lousy name.
……
"Extra! Extra! The Imperial Royal Navy defeated the Dutch Navy and captured 15 warships!"
"Extra! Extra! Commander Xi of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi signed the Ming-Dutch Agreement with the Dutch East India Company!"
"Extra number! Extra number! The empire's territory will be expanded by tens of thousands of hectares!"
……
As evening approached, it was almost time to take a break from get off work, but the sounds of newsboys shouting hard sounded again on the street.
Because Emperor Zhu Da believed that the Ming-Dutch Agreement was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty, he ordered the Propaganda Department to urgently print such a special issue.
"Old Wang, do you know what's going on today? Why are you still selling newspapers at this hour?"
A man who was preparing for the night market asked the owner of the stall next to him curiously while cleaning up his stall.
"Didn't you hear the newsboys shouting? This is another victory for the emperor's navy! A total of 15 warships were captured!"
"15 ships! So many!"
"No! Moreover, the territory of the empire has expanded by tens of thousands of hectares!"
"Your Majesty is indeed the reincarnation of Taizu! But Old Wang, how much is ten thousand hectares?"
"This... in short, it's just big enough!"
Obviously, tens of thousands of hectares of land is beyond the scope of these two people's understanding.
In a restaurant facing the street, several young people poked their heads out curiously, and asked a newsboy to buy a newspaper.
"Erlang, look at what the Minghe Agreement says?" someone urged.
"Don't worry, don't worry, just watch!"
"Well, the newspaper said that our Ming Navy defeated the Dutch, and Sulu, Boni, Palawan and other places were included in the empire's territory!"
"You mean that the emperor is opening up territory and expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty again?"
"Yes! Expansion of territory!"
All the young people looked excited, and their eyes were filled with admiration for Emperor Zhu Da.
After all, this is an expansion of territory!What other achievement can compare to this?
……
In a small courtyard, a Jin Yiwei said worriedly.
"Falling out? The Dutch don't have the courage yet!"
"You have also seen, what is the situation in Batavia now? Even if there is a war, what will they use to fight us? With those soft-footed shrimps that can no longer stand up?"
