Chapter 709 The Eight-Nation Allied Forces are completely disunited (please subscribe!)

Bentinck, that guy sitting on the fence, changed his position too quickly.

“Secondly,” Bentinck continued, “the English East India Company, the French East India Company, the Spanish East India Company and the Portuguese East India Company should maintain trade with the Ming Empire, but they must find ways to find alternatives in trade.

We must strive to get rid of the dependence on the Cuoming Empire as soon as possible."

When Thomas heard that, he laughed loudly. He had said before that he didn't want to mess around. Now it's okay. Hong is going to live. The loss is so big!

"European countries will play different roles in the process of containing and attacking the Ming Empire, but they must seek unity and not be afraid of sacrifice!"

Okay, let’s talk for a long time, the Dutch will have to sacrifice!

Now that the Dutch East India Company was no longer the main target of the Ming Dynasty's attack, it seemed that there was no way out but sacrifice.

Kamfizis took a deep look at Bentinck and Thomas. He seriously doubted whether the previous house arrest of Thomas was a cruel trick, and the purpose was to make him jump out and kill him.

Of course, that really wronged Bentinck.

In fact, if Zhu Kezang saw clearly that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were definitely not united, and if Commander-in-Chief Bentinck rejected the Dutch, he would use all his strength to attack the Netherlands. Their so-called unbreakable alliance would collapse on its own.

Kamfizis sighed deeply, nodded and said: "Ambassador, he has become famous, so how can they get out of danger now?"

It seemed that that was the most realistic issue. What they had just discussed was irrelevant. The key issue now was how to escape from the encirclement and suppression by the private pirates of the Ming Dynasty over there.

If you don't stop your losses quickly, what they just said is empty talk.

Bentinck looked at Thomas at the right moment.

Thomas smiled and said, "Easy to say, he is very good friends with the great Ming Emperor. He and he have known each other since he was not the emperor."

Thomas took the opportunity to show off his glorious history with Zhu Kezang.

"The Ming Emperor had a great character, and no one knew how to survive in a crisis better than him!"

"More than ten years ago, the Ming Emperor Bidong was a prince from a small island. When he faced the powerful Qing Empire, he"

Thomas kept telling people about the glorious history of Zhu Kezang.

Originally, the representatives from various countries felt that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, but they did not know how the Ming Dynasty became powerful. After listening to Thomas's blow, they realized how terrifying Zhu Kezang was!

Representatives from all countries will listen with interest and patience.

Bentinck couldn't help but say: "Dear Thomas, if I don't go to negotiate with them, I'm afraid those pirates will chase them!"

The words awakened the dreamer, and representatives from various countries remembered the current crisis. The pirates of the Ming Dynasty were now only three nautical miles away from them, and they could no longer act recklessly.

Thomas, however, did not panic. He had a gold medal for immunity from death given by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he was caught, he would be fine if he showed it to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

He knew that those Ming pirates were definitely ordered by the Ming military.

People in the Ming Dynasty generally treated the Ming Emperor very harshly and would never touch him.

Bu Nao is now seeking to improve his status in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Now he is trying to show favor to Bentinck and let everyone know that the big family of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces cannot survive without him.

Thomas smiled and said: "As a great beneficiary of East-West trade, the Ming Empire will not give up free trade. Emperor Zhu was wrong about the so-called sanctions imposed by the Dutch East India Company, so he would beat them. As we all know, he denied his good intentions."

Friend, if he goes to persuade the people of Ming Dynasty, they will let him live!"

Bentinck nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, then please let me go."

"Prepare a galley for him, with an English cross flag and a red flag, and let him go and talk to them!"

Thomas stood up and begged to leave. At that time, the dejected Dutch Governor Canfezis also stood up and said, "Ambassador Bentinck, he also needs a galley. He begs to take it to Little Nicobar Island."

, organize to take away the company employees and sailors who will swim to the shore to escape tomorrow's naval battle."

A small indigenous fishing village on the west side of Little Nicobar Island now has a Dutch tricolor flag erected there and has become a gathering point for Dutch sailors who escaped from yesterday morning's naval battle.

Kamfizis brought the remaining galleys of the Dutch East India Company and two fourth-level battleships to the dock of the fishing village. Governor Campos was dejectedly coming from one of the galleys from the east.

Accompanying him on the ship were several senior staff of the Dutch East India Company, including Ernst Lewis, the former Ceylon Merchant and the captain of the destroyed Dutch ship HMS Fernandez.

The captain was lucky. When his physical strength was about to run out, a Dutch fourth-level battleship exploded, and a plank exploded into the sea near him. Relying on the plank, he swam all the way to Canfezis' ship.

, saved a dog’s life.

He swore that he would never fight another Ming ship again in his life. It would be too terrifying.

Those people were extremely depressed, and no one could explain it. As Ernst walked forward, he asked: "Mr. Governor, as it turns out, what should we do if the company moves to the east?"

Kamfizis seemed to have made up his mind, looked around, and then whispered: "All captains and chief squadrons are coming with him!"

After saying that, he quickly walked towards a nearby thatched hut that looked relatively tall. The senior officials of the Dutch East India Company immediately followed him, and a group of people entered the thatched hut.

Now, Kamfizis is asking to announce a big choice.

There was little furniture in the makeshift hut, so a group of people could just sit on the floor and walk away.

Soon, several indigenous servants brought water in porcelain bowls. Kamfezis, who felt a little parched, took a sip of water, and then asked: "Does any of us know how to speak Ming dialect?"

?”

"Yes." Ernst nodded.

Several other senior executives of the Dutch East India Company also said that they were somewhat knowledgeable, after all, they often did business with people from the Ming Dynasty.

"Do you know anyone familiar with the merchants of Ming Dynasty?"

"He is familiar with the Ming merchants in Sumatra!"

"He is familiar with the Ming Dynasty businessman from Temasek!"

All senior officials responded one after another.

"Then you guys should go with him to Wei Island in the north of Sumatra."

"The naval admiral of the Ming Empire should be there!"

Ensk was stunned for a moment and said, "Governor Burnt, are they asking to see the envoys of the Ming Empire?"

The captain of the Dutch Fenghuang had already deeply understood what Kamfizis meant, and asked: "Burn Governor, do you mean that they want to talk to the Ming Empire?"

Kamfizis nodded: "Wrong! They must seek a peaceful solution to the crisis now. Otherwise, the East India Company will collapse in a year's time!"

"As for the future of the East India Company, we have come to ask for his advice."

After all, the Dutch East India Company was a joint-stock "robber company" with the purpose of profit.

Although he is engaged in the zero-dollar purchase business of killing people and setting fires, after all, this is not a profitable business for the company.

Now that we can no longer continue to buy for zero yuan in the East, we can carry out industrial transformation!
