Next, Gabriel's words made the Dutch governor so angry that he almost went to war.

He actually said that he wanted to find a place to rest near the Spice Islands.

Is this true?

After a hundred years of competition, the Netherlands drove Portugal away from the Spice Islands and monopolized the spice trade. Spain actually wanted to get involved!

Beautiful thought!

Nowadays, the countries in the Spice Islands are either like the Kingdom of Mataram, which was turned into a vassal by the Netherlands, or like the Kingdom of Aceh, which was beaten half to death by the Netherlands, and they are almost completely dead at the last moment.

Is it possible that Spain wants to get a share of the pie without giving anything?

"It's absolutely impossible, Gabriel, you'd better give up!" the Dutch Governor said angrily.

"Staying in Batavia has a great influence on my Spanish soldiers. If this continues, they will not be able to fight! Otherwise, we can go to New Guinea, further east of the Spice Islands, to find something to do for them!

"

Gabriel was sensible and moved with emotion, which finally made the Dutch Governor's face soften a little.

The island of New Guinea was discovered by Portugal in 1512, but because it had few resources and was mostly forests, neither the Netherlands nor Portugal had any desire to colonize it.

But it is also a good place to stay for the now unlucky Spanish expeditionary fleet.

Even if Gabriel didn't ask the Dutch for advice, he could just go ahead and take possession.

Can the same person be different?

"Each of our Dutch craftsmen has an ingenuity. Every time they build a musket, they have to look at it for a long time. If it does not meet the specifications, they will directly smash it with a hammer, because Dutch craftsmen do not allow substandard products to appear!"

Of course, there is no equipment, because this is a foreign trade model of the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau. The barrel is specially made and has a very short lifespan. It will explode within fifteen rounds.

The genuine Dutch Governor Cornelis was working hard in Batavia, and the pirated "Cornelis" of the Ming and Zheng Dynasties, that is, Julio who joined the Spanish Confederate Army, was not idle either.

Julio shamelessly boasted about "Made in the Netherlands". This advanced marketing technique was of course taught by Zheng Kezang.

In this way, the expeditionary force, which carried Spain's infinite hope, began to play its own way in Batavia under Gabriel's order.

Their fear is probably due to Zheng Kezang's offensive concept.

"How much money, I bought it from the Qing Dynasty!" Kangxi waved his hand, saying buy, buy, buy!

"Dear Emperor, for the sake of our friendship, this new type of musket, which represents Dutch ingenuity, only costs fifty taels of silver!" Julio said with a very favorable look.

Kangxi naturally knew Chinese. He thought for a while and asked: "How much silver does a gun of this kind cost?"

This news relieved the soldiers who had been drifting on the sea for more than half a year and worried about Batavia for a long time.

Not to mention, this little story about smashing a gun when they disagreed deeply shocked Emperor Kangxi and made him completely tempted by these guns!

Soon, Gabriel gathered the Spanish soldiers who were having fun in Batavia and announced that there would be no war with Ming Zheng for the time being!

Unfortunately, the target in the distance didn't move at all, so it was almost impossible to hit it.

The Dutch finally agreed, and they didn't bother to develop it there, leaving it to these unlucky Spanish guys.

Kangxi nodded and agreed with Julio's statement.

If it explodes, he will die in the Qing Dynasty and will no longer be loyal to Zheng Kezang!

From a public perspective, if it explodes, he will have made a great contribution, but after all, Julio is not a dead soldier, he is Hu Sangui, and only by living can he create greater value for Zheng Kezang.

When Kangxi insisted on testing the gun just now, Julio was sweating for him.

His appearance surprised Li Xiangen, because his son and his father were almost carved from the same mold, exactly the same, except they were younger.

It made Gabriel feel dizzy for a while. These soldiers were really uneasy. They were obedient when asked to fight the Ming Zheng Guards, and punched heavily when asked to fight the natives.

At this time, Emperor Kangxi was excitedly trying to fire the fine matchlock guns brought by these fake Dutchmen.

Julio put on a difficult posture and said: "Dear Emperor, you have also tried it yourself. Our new Dutch muskets are made of very particular materials. Look at the guns made in the Netherlands. The barrels of each gun are exactly the same size. That's it.

Imagine how expensive it is to manufacture!”

They had heard from their comrades who had escaped from Luzon that the Guards were terrifying, so naturally they did not want to fight Ming Zheng.

"As long as the Qing army is equipped with our Dutch muskets, annihilating the Ming and Zheng pirates will no longer be a problem!"

Without makeup, he played the role of Julio Spielman, the son of "Cornelis" and the respected son of the governor.

The offensive concept has a buff, Army Glory: Let our army gain unparalleled glory and prestige, making all enemies fearful.

Sometimes in order to open a window, I have to ask for the roof to be removed first. I have to say that this old boy Gabriel is quite good at the art of negotiation.

Their governor Gabriel then said that they would not attack Ming Zheng, but they would attack the natives of New Guinea, and let them go to Batavia for three days to have fun first, and then they would start fighting!

He was thousands of kilometers away in the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

With these pig teammates, Gabriel looked at the sky forty-five degrees and lamented: Imperial Pill!

However, it was barely considered the Dutch's sphere of influence, so they still needed to be informed. After all, they were all allies.

Julio spoke a somewhat unauthentic Chinese and spoke with a eloquent tongue.

Julio pointed to the box of arms he brought. Indeed, the industrial product is the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder, almost carved out of the same mold.

boom!

"The Emperor is good at shooting!"

As soon as Kangxi's son fired a shot, the officials around him couldn't help but flatter him.

It is effortless for the natives to clean up and the profits are huge. This is where Spanish soldiers should go!

On the spot, they cheered.

"Dear Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, this new musket is the latest musket developed by our Dutch East India Company. It can shoot enemies at a distance of up to 150 steps (about 80 meters). Even our own army in the Netherlands is not equipped with it.

Woolen cloth!"

"What a fire gun!" Kangxi praised without blushing. This matchlock gun is much easier to use than the Qing Dynasty's bird gun.

No problem at all!

These soldiers came here just to make a fortune, and of course the best way to make a fortune is to buy for zero dollars.

Kangxi had no doubt that he was there, because the vampires from the Ministry of Industry quoted him twenty-two muskets each, and Dutch guns were only twice as expensive. It was not a big problem and it was a good deal.

In fact, the cost of making a gun is only one tael of silver, and officials from the Ministry of Industry who know the truth dare not say anything, otherwise they will have no place to make the difference!

Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. If the quotation of these red-haired barbarians was lower than twenty taels, then they would be exposed!

Kangxi decided on the spot: "Ten thousand first!"
Chapter completed!
