Chapter 433

The solemn and dignified soldiers made rod feel a little uneasy.

The first words of the young king of Qi made rod sweat. He didn't know much about the state of Dayu. He didn't know what the purpose of the king of Qi was to say these words and prepare for revenge? Or is it just a trial?

After a moment's silence, rod said cautiously: "Dear royal highness of the king of Qi, I think the war with the king of Chu was not started by us, but the king of Chu planned to monopolize the sea trade for a long time."

At this time, everyone was outside the government office of Dengzhou. Xiao Ming sneered and said, "ambassador rod, let's talk in the room. I know you Dutch very well."

Rod was stunned. He followed Xiao Ming into the Yamen.

When they were seated, the officer offered them tea. Xiao Ming took a sip and said, "you have 12 warships in East Asia. Ryukyu and Nagasaki are your two supply points in this area. You have built two castles on Ryukyu Island. One is at the south end of Ryukyu Island, the other is at the north end of Ryukyu Island. There are more than 3000 real Dutch soldiers in the 10000 garrison You are the native people of Ryukyu Island, including the Japanese pirates you hired, right

Xiao Ming didn't say a word. The more cold sweat Rhode had, he looked at Xiao Ming inconceivably and said, "are you investigating us?"

"Yes, my king is investigating you, just as you are investigating my king." Xiao Ming said frankly.

Rod opened his mouth in surprise. His mind is a little confused now. Facing the king of Qi, he can't be as calm as facing the king of Chu, because the young vassal in front of him seems to have seen through him.

"Let's talk about the purpose of your trip."

Seeing that rod looks shocked, Xiao Ming digs away from the topic. His goal has been achieved, which is to frighten rod.

Swallowing his saliva, rod said: "Dear royal highness of the king of Qi, we are here to establish a long-term foreign trade relationship with your highness and seek cooperation partners."

"Foreign trade relations? Partner? " Xiao Ming sneered, he said: "shelling the merchant ships of our state of Dayu, occupying our coastal routes, this is your foreign trade relations?"

When rod heard this, he didn't know how to explain it. Originally, they looked at Dayu with the eyes of Native Americans. They never looked at this seemingly strong but actually weak country.

But now things have changed that they didn't expect. There is obviously a strong force in the north of the country.

If it's as close as America, he won't be so worried, because the army will provide support to them. But now they are far away, so their people with the same weapons become dangerous.

"Your Highness, I think this is a misunderstanding. We only attacked the merchant ships of the king of Chu, not other merchant ships..."

"I know you colonists very well!" Without waiting for rod to explain, Xiao Ming interrupts rod because rod is obviously lying.

Looking at rod sharply, Xiao Ming continued: "in North America, you slaughtered local aborigines, in Africa, you bought and sold slaves, in South Asia, you plundered spices and various raw materials, your hands were covered with blood, and now you point the butcher's knife at the king's country. You know that my country is in the frailty of fragmentation, so you think of your trade hegemony I want to impose it on my country. "

"You You How do you know America and Africa? "

Rod can't be described as surprised. Suifa gun has overturned their understanding of the king of Qi, and now the knowledge of the king of Qi is even more shocking to him.

He has talked with many people in Dayu state. No one knows anything outside Dayu state. For him, this is a closed country, but now the king of Qi has completely broken his understanding.

"I know not only America and Africa, but also where you Holland are? Add between France and England, you Dutch life must not be satisfactory There is a trace of irony in Xiao Ming's mouth.

No matter how the Dutch are in Europe, they are now colonists to him.

Rod's psychological defense completely collapsed, the unknown makes people fear, and now he is facing an unknown.

"Your Highness, please believe in our sincerity. We really come with the original intention of establishing trade relations." Rod said with difficulty.

In the era of great navigation, no war is just. At this time, what we talk about is our fists. Just as the Dutch colonized Ryukyu and occupied trade routes, they were all supported by force.

It is the so-called truth that only within the range of artillery can the winner be qualified to make the rules of the game. For Xiao Ming, it is time for him to make the trade rules of East Asia. So he said, "it's OK to establish trade contacts, but first, you must transfer Ryukyu Island to our king. Second, the trade routes of East Asia are our king's. third, Dengzhou will be your only one." If you agree to these three points, I promise to establish trade relations with you. "

"How could that be?"

Rod suddenly stood up from his chair because he was angry. It was the Dutch who made the rules for these indigenous countries. When was it their turn to make the rules.What's more, this rule will completely change the Dutch from a leading trade player to a vassal, which they can't tolerate.

"Nothing is impossible. East Asia is our territory, and the rules here should be made by us. You Dutch are just outsiders. It's your duty to abide by the rules. Moreover, Ryukyu belongs to the state of Dayu. It's already an act of aggression for you to seize the territory of Dayu. I have the right to ask you to return Ryukyu Island."

"Your Highness, your request is too much. We won't agree to any of the three, especially Ryukyu. This is not your land. Now it belongs to Holland." Rod said angrily.

"Ryukyu belongs to the state of Dayu!"

Xiao Ming looks cold. He has lost patience with these robbers. It seems that the Dutch haven't realized what will happen to them.

"I don't think we have anything to talk about." Rod then stood up.

"As you wish." Xiao Ming is resolute, because this is also his bottom line. He must take back Ryukyu and trade routes.

With a cold snort, rod got up and walked out, and the people with him also left.

"Your Highness, these barbarians are always afraid of power but not of virtue. No matter how much they say, they are not as effective as a war. Moreover, the Dutch make peace with the Japanese, which is very bad for us. The Japanese outside the city wall are all armed with muskets." Niu Zhen looked serious at this time.

Xiao Ming nodded. In the contemporary era, the 16th century Japan was once a world-class gun manufacturing center, and the data show that at that time Japan once produced 300000 muskets.

Although he doesn't like to see Japan subjectively, Xiao Ming has to admit that Japan is a strong opponent and can't be underestimated objectively. Because of this, he has to cut off the communication between Dutch and Japan and prevent more western technology from flowing into Japan.
