Chapter 693: My fault ruined England (please subscribe!)

Bentinck looked seriously at the governor of the British East India Company, "Will you do everything possible to support the brave, fierce and free people who are willing to resist the Ming Dynasty, such as the Tianzhu people and the Mongols!"

Thomas nodded and followed us, since he was going to attend to matters concerning the East India Company.

"Second, do you want to do everything possible to fight a trade war with Ming Dynasty!"

"Trade war?? Ambassador, the East India Company doesn't know how to fight?"

Governor Thomas frowned when he heard that.

We fight our own, and the British East India Company continues to do business with the Ming Dynasty without delay. Isn't it wonderful?

Fighting a trade war with Ming Dynasty?

Never died?

Did Bentinck destroy England?

Thomas's expression suddenly changed, obviously he was unhappy.

Bentinck knew the interests of the company and shareholders at a glance, and Thomas, who cared about national interests, knew what he was thinking.

Because Dutch capitalists and businessmen were more interested in national interests than Thomas, he was used to it.

Bentinck smiled lightly and said: "The trade war strategy is very simple, but it requires the cooperation of the East India Company."

Ben Tinker asked whether he was willing to cooperate and continued: "The purpose of the trade war is to make it impossible for Ming Dynasty to export a large amount of goods to Europe to earn red, silver and gold, and at the same time, it is also unable to obtain cheap raw materials from Europe and the Americas!"

"The purpose of this is to prevent red silver from flowing into the Ming Dynasty!"

Thomas's face turned from black to purple. It was hard to imagine that he was a red man.

Thomas cursed in his heart: That bastard Dutchman, if he is not attacking the Ming Dynasty, he is attacking the British East India Company.

He fully suspected that his old friend, the Dutch East India Company, had given him money!

"Ask the Ming Dynasty to implement a trade embargo, which can fully attack the Ming Dynasty's porcelain, tea, silk, glass, iron, winemaking, matches and other industries. At the same time, they can do their best to support the Tianzhu people's cotton industry

, brown sugar and other industries exported goods to Europe to replace Ming people’s related industries.”

After hearing those words, Thomas smiled bitterly and said: "Ambassador, we Europeans cannot live without perfume and cigarettes, they are full of Nanyang spices!"

"So he didn't ask for a ban on perfumes, cigarettes and spices. Anyway, fragrant things are not banned!"

Bentinck waved his legs and said matter-of-factly.

Thomas was confused. What kind of trade war was this? Let’s just treat it as a Ming Dynasty!

"Ambassador Bentinck, Sir Ben can guarantee that once the trade war starts, Ming Dynasty will not buy me anything. Moreover, do I know how much money they want to make from Ming Dynasty's trade every year?"

"Ambassador Bentinck, the principle of their East India Company is free trade, and that principle will not be changed because of the war!"

"The principle of free trade can ensure that the East India Company and the Ming Dynasty can coexist harmoniously!"

Thomas speaks righteously.

What does Britain's request for peace with Ming Dynasty have to do with the East India Company?

Bentinck shook his head and looked at Thomas in front of him with a bit of disdain, "Mr. Governor, he wonders if you are mistaken. Free trade does not bring profits to the East India Company, nor does free trade allow the company and the

The Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty coexist harmoniously!"

"The real reason is British force!"

What Bentinck said is also wrong. The so-called free trade of the Englishman Thomas, apart from being normal and friendly with the Ming Dynasty, has a completely different face with other Tianzhu forces.

In fact, use force to coerce trade in exchange for cheap goods!

If you meet someone who can beat you, you are not a robber; if you meet someone who can beat you, you are not a gentleman.

Bentinck said slowly and slowly: "If the Eight-Power Allied Forces cannot stop the Ming Dynasty's southward advance, then everything the British East India Company has achieved by force in southern Tianzhu will be lost!"

"So they must win, even if they need to spend the last penny in their pocket!"

"Then why do they want to make peace with the Ming Dynasty? If they don't resist, then nothing will happen."

Thomas slammed the table and yelled angrily.

He doesn’t hide it anymore. Does he just want to make money and get ahead? What does the national interest have to do with him?

Bentinck was very well-mannered. He wiped the saliva on his face with a silk leg handkerchief and said calmly: "Calm down, Sir, I think Britain will have to stay in South India for the rest of its life? Although he is not Dutch, he stands

From the British point of view, Britain needs Nanyang very much and the Strait of Malacca very much, otherwise it will be choked by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years in the future!"

It turned out that Bentinck wanted to use the combined fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance to suppress the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that the current fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance was inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. To counter this, he started a trade war.

"He is neither the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Power Allied Forces nor the plenipotentiary ambassador personally appointed by King William III. The East India Company must listen to him!"

After paying homage first, Bentinck threw a cup as a signal. Suddenly, a few swords and axes came in through the side door, which were prepared for him by Nafu Suo'etu.

There is another old saying in the Ming Dynasty: Those who understand current affairs are heroes.

If a good man does not suffer immediate losses, Thomas must first accept his fate. Later, he will pass the news to his old friend Zhu Ke and Zang Bidong, and ask him to send someone to take advantage of him. That Dutchman has no martial ethics!

Is it possible that after hanging out with those Mongolians for a long time, I became that kind of person?

Thomas secretly sighed: I just hope that after that dispute, his East India Company will survive.

"Trade war? Hahahahaha...James II and his good son-in-law William actually want to start a trade war with Ming Dynasty!"

Outside the Yuexiu Palace, Zhu Kezang amused Thomas by delivering a letter to his flying pigeon.

If it were the UK in the 19th century, he would be very nervous. The UK in that era was a rotten fish!

So what if the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were not included?

It’s all just their own agenda. The ambassador, who couldn’t even unite the East India Company, actually wanted to start a trade war.

Is that the best joke Zhu Kezang has heard in recent years?

"Let Jin Yiwei appease my old friend Thomas of Yidong. He is wronged to be a spy of Yidong. When the time comes, I will send someone to rescue him. Now prepare for the meeting!"

An hour later, the Ming Dynasty Yuexiu Palace and the large conference hall were opened.

On the hillside of Yuexiu Mountain, where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, a large conference hall was specially built for Zhu Kezang to hold office and summon ministers, foreign envoys and private representatives.

Tomorrow, the conference hall will be crowded and noisy, almost like a duck pond.

There were representatives of businessmen, gentry, and chambers of commerce from all over Guangdong.

The Guangdong University Scholars’ Representative Conference will be held tomorrow. There are rumors that Zhu Ke and Zang Bidong will attend the meeting.

Isn’t that the honor of Guangdong!

The emperor has never participated in the local-level bachelor's congress, so this is the first time.

Most of the people there were members of the Dongning Pangjie, Minnan Pangjie, and Guangfu Pangjie who fought for the New Ming Dynasty.

There he held a meeting to discuss the international situation and the response to the Eight-Nation Allied Forces!
