Chapter 710 Compensation for the losses of Ming Dynasty’s “fishermen” (please subscribe!)

Industrial transformation, in fact, the Dutch East India Company has been transforming.

Is it necessary to transform from a predatory economy to a pure trade economy?

If the Eight-Power Allied Forces had not invaded southern Tianzhu, his East India Company would have almost successfully transformed.

Before the alliance of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Dutch East India Company's share of trade with the Ming Dynasty was slightly lower than that of the British East India Company.

Now everything is ruined, the trade share is gone, the fleet is depleted, and the territory is even less.

If we continue to develop eastward, the company will collapse sooner or later.

Without the company, Kamfizis will lose everything he has now. Power, wealth, honor, and even freedom!

In fact, before him, he followed Bentinck and Churchill to fight against the Ming Dynasty. If the purpose was not successful, he would gain bargaining chips with the Ming Dynasty.

Now that we have lost the battle and have no bargaining chips, we can kneel down and beg for mercy from Mingdong.

Making money is not a shame! As a profiteer, the biggest shame is not making money!

Ernst was a little worried, "If they go to negotiate with Ming Dynasty alone, what will happen if other countries in the Eight-Power Allied Forces find out?"

Kamfizis snorted coldly: "They are very absent from the Ming Dynasty's sanctions. They are ready to abandon them and continue trading with the Ming people!"

He gritted his teeth, "Those shameless profiteers, when he saw them, they wanted to sacrifice the interests of the Dutch East India Company to please the Ming Dynasty, and they wanted to carve up their market so as to seek monopoly profits. There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty: They

Don't blame them for being unkind!"

"Burn Governor," Ernst frowned, "does the Dutch East India Company have a lot of leverage?"

Ernst was not a real person. He felt that if he was not a wise man, he would definitely not agree to the conditions of the Dutch East India Company.

Kamfizis gritted his teeth and said: "He thinks that Ming Dynasty will need them. They can become Ming Dynasty's agents in Europe. Ming Dynasty's cigarettes, spices, silks, porcelain, perfumes and brightly colored cottons can only be found in Europe."

Sell ​​it at a high price! In addition, they can betray the interests of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and act as spies for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Did you see that? That foreign devil is the Governor-General of the Dutch East India Company, Camfizis! The Eight-Nation Allied Armada commanded by him was defeated by the Ming Dynasty merchants in the Strait of Great Britain. Now it's good to come to Guangzhou to pay the debt and plead guilty."

It turned out that after a group of them met Liu Guoxuan on Wei Island in northern Sumatra under a red flag, and after paying tribute with money and sincerity, and being disarmed by the Ming Royal Navy, Liu Guoxuan agreed that they should go to Guangzhou City to plead guilty to Zhu Kezang.

Thomas, on the other hand, denied that he was wrong and was faster than Kamfizis, and Liu Guoxuan did not embarrass them.

But since the Eight-Power Allied Forces were "illegal fishing" in the waters of the Ming Dynasty, they were asked to collect five million silver dollars to compensate the "fishermen" of the Ming Dynasty for their losses.

The Eight-Nation Allied Forces' operation was as fierce as a tiger's, but it turned out that they lost both their wives and their troops!

"He has also heard that the Dutch are vulnerable and the Royal Navy will not be able to survive!"

"Don't tell me, his family has relatives doing business in Nanyang, so he sent his leg to participate in the battle to defeat the Eight-Nation Allied Forces fleet!"

"He said that thanks to the weapons provided by Bidong, the Marines were able to scare away the fleets of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces!"

"I really envy my relatives!"

Several business representatives from Guangdong were chatting away.

"The Dutch were really beaten. Did you see the dozen foreign coolies following behind them? There was no gold in them as they were carrying them!"

It turns out that I really apologized for the money, and there was no typo.

"Your Majesty, the Admiral of the Guangdong Fleet, the Imperial Vice-Admiral, and the Governor-General of the Dutch East India Company, Kamfizis, are here to see you."

The voice of Ye Xingde (Nalan Xingde) rang beside Zhu Kezang.

Zhu Kezang smiled and nodded: "It seems that the Ming Dynasty's sanctions have not been effective, and the Dutch are rushing here to become compradors! Then let him shut up here!"

"The foreign minister, the Governor-General of the Dutch East India Company, Camfizis, respectfully invites the Great Emperor St. Ann."

Kamfizis had already knelt down in front of Zhu Kezang, performed the most formal ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows, and greeted Zhu Kezang in Chinese.

He is very sincere, and one can see that he has learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

When he was kowtowing earnestly, Zhu Kezang began to educate him: "Kanfezis, I call myself a foreign minister, and I also say that the governor of the East India Company is a minister of which country? My monarch is also a minister.

Who is it? Is the East India Company of which I am the Governor a government office or a business?"

Ye Xingde immediately translated Zhu Kezang's words into Latin, and then added: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge, and is familiar with European affairs. If I dare to deceive the emperor with lies, I don't blame the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for his thunderous legs!"

"

When Kamfizis heard this, he kowtowed even louder.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. They are from the Federal Republic of the Netherlands in Europe. Although the Republic does not have a monarch, it does have consuls who are not much different from the monarch."

The so-called republic of the Netherlands is more like a compromise between big businessmen and feudal lords, although it bears the name of a republic.

Well, at least the birth of the Republic of the Netherlands was advanced in that era.

When the entire European continent was still under the haze of feudal empire rule, it pierced the dark sky like a sharp sword. The sonorous and powerful sword chant echoed across the European continent, and the light of independence and freedom began to fall on that dim sky.

The land is.

But throughout the process of the Dutch Revolution, the "beggar army", which had always been looked down upon by the Spanish royal family and even the Dutch nobles, played a crucial role. Those who were composed of farmers, fishermen, poor people,

The team of small businessmen had never received professional training, but they used their tenacity and bravery to win the initial rare victory.

Sometimes we can share hardships, but not always share joys.

When all was said and done, the Netherlands betrayed farmers, fishermen, poor people, and workers, and became a country ruled by merchants and aristocrats.

When the merchants and nobles needed to organize the poor to rebel against Spain, they said all good things to incite them. After driving away the Spanish, they showed a different look.

After being attacked by Napoleon, the hypocritical Republic of the Netherlands collapsed and turned into a serious kingdom.

It was not until 1848 that the Netherlands officially became a constitutional monarchy. It was not until that time that the Dutch got rid of the concept of supreme royal power and finally possessed the sovereignty of the people.

The Republic of the Netherlands, established in the 16th century, did not have the name of a republic at all, and its essence did not deny the leadership of the king.

"Your Majesty, Consul William III is his monarch, but they are not one with his will, because the East India Company, between commercial institutions and government, has been specially authorized by the Grand Council of the Netherlands.

Chartered Trading Company!”

"Can we form our own mercenaries and issue currency? Can we be the first joint-stock company in Tiandong and be allowed by the Netherlands Parliament to enter into formal treaties with other countries? The company will also occupy the land and have the power to colonize and rule."
