When Luke and others were surprised and uneasy, Kuang Lu continued: "Let's take a step back, even if you really transfer the main fleet from the Atlantic Ocean, why should I be afraid of the Ming Dynasty?

Our Ming Dynasty now has dozens of steel-armored warships, who are not afraid of guns and cannons, and can roam around the ocean without any fear. Even if you face the so-called first-class battleships, you can still win.

Since you have no sincerity in negotiating, you want to provoke a war between the two sides again, then you can fight!"

After saying that, Kuang Lu waved her sleeves and left the negotiating team on the Ming Dynasty, without giving the Dutch a chance to speak again.

After Kuang Lu and others left, the Ming army around them also withdrew a large number, leaving only more than a hundred people and a few minor officials to end the event. Only then did Luke come to his senses.

Then I felt a little scared and regretful.

He was worried that he would really mess up the negotiations and cause a second war with the Ming Dynasty.

If so, the Dutch main fleet would definitely not come. The warships and army of the East India Company were here alone may not be protected.

Thinking of this, Luke burst into cold sweat.

Under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty officials, leaving the small square, Luke saw the Portuguese Council officials such as Gao Shida outside, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He sneered: "He illegally entered the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it normal for him to be arrested?"

Even the Speaker of the Union Provincial Parliament is just like the prime minister of a feudal country. He is the second-in-command, and his power and fame are hard to compare with Prince Orange.

Even if it is violated, one can only use religion to fight religion, rather than relying on an Eastern empire that is thousands of miles away.

Previously, Gao Shida and others wanted to cooperate with the Netherlands under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty. Now they have surrendered, so it is naturally impossible to cooperate with the Netherlands again.

Luke said: "I know, every year, tribute is to give His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty some gifts, right?"

If not, how could my wise ruler and ministers explain to the hundreds of millions of people and the soldiers who sacrificed the battle of Dongfan Island?”

This shocked Luke.

In later generations, when the Netherlands became a kingdom again in the 19th century, it was indeed the Orange Nassau family that became the royal family.

But he did not smile happily, but asked with a hint of indifference: "Can you know the relationship between the vassal state and the sect leader?"

When Luke was stunned, Kuang Lu said again: "Since His Majesty succeeded to the throne and reformed the old system, the rules of our Ming Dynasty towards vassals have been different.

Didn’t the Ming Dynasty think that it was the best country in the Celestial Empire and was extremely favorable to face? Then they gave enough face to the Ming Dynasty and learned from some countries in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and recognized the Ming Dynasty as its sect leader.

But Luke, as a Dutch, knew very well that it was impossible to hand over the succession of Prince Orange to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Luke actually didn't want to hold him accountable, but just used this to test Gao Shida's attitude. When Gao Shida spoke, he realized that the Portuguese were probably standing on the side of Ming.

If a little fame can gain a lot of benefits, they are the Dutch favorite.

Since this is the case, the original first negotiation strategy will no longer be used, so we have to change to the second strategy.

This is the second strategy for the Netherlands' negotiations.

Kuang Lu chuckled and said, "Now I don't want to talk about the new rules that my Ming Dynasty has given to the vassal states. Even in the past, it was just a by-pass to the vassal states who came to our Ming Dynasty to trade.

Of course he wouldn't say this.

I only hope that the Ming Dynasty can return the officials, soldiers and citizens we lost in the previous battle of Dongfan Island, and also allow us to build a shopping mall in the senior officials as a trade transit place."

Neither cooperation is needed, Gosda will not give a Dutch a good face.

He was going to stay in the rich mirror in the future, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Ming officials.

Gao Shida subconsciously first caught it, but then he remembered the performance of the Ming officials in front of Shenming Pavilion that day, and he couldn't help but feel guilty and hurriedly watched it from side to side.

In fact, he took the initiative to de Lape to the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the translation, Luke was stunned again.

He hurried over and talked to Gusda in Spanish.

Of course, the system of the United Republic of the Netherlands at this time was extremely complicated and could not be explained clearly in just a few words.

The competition between Portugal and the Netherlands in the colonies is actually very fierce, and it is impossible to cooperate unless necessary.

Please give us a message, just say that we are indeed here to negotiate with sincerity and we can talk about it tomorrow."

Even if you, the Netherlands, really recognize the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader, you can't just forget about the 20th anniversary of the invasion of the Dongfan Island of the Ming Dynasty. You have to compensate as much as you should.

As the envoy, Luke seemed to have forgotten the story of his slander yesterday, and his attitude turned 180 degrees.

"If you really want to turn war into jade, then as we said before, you will compensate two million taels of gold and hand over to me the Ming Dynasty.

What he had to say was that Prince Orange, who also served as the consul of many provinces, could barely represent the head of a country.

Since I, the Netherlands, have cities and land in Nanyang, I am willing to pay tribute to the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty every year.

After saying that, he turned around and took the other Portuguese people away.

After saying that, Luke asked his entourage to take out a box and hand it to Gosda.

At that time, if you want to become a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is to surrender to our Ming Dynasty, and the king must obtain permission from our Ming Dynasty to succeed the throne.

Kuang Lu was a little surprised when she heard Luke's words and then laughed.

Because he found that the Ming Dynasty knew more about the Netherlands than he thought yesterday.

He first asked Gosda, "How did Delape get caught?"

What, is your country planning to report to our Ming Dynasty when Prince Orange succeeds his title in the future and succeed to the throne after obtaining permission?"

With a sigh, Luke could only leave helplessly.

After returning to the accommodation arranged by Daming, he tried to communicate with the guard officials, saying that he wanted to talk about it tomorrow, but the gold was not sent out, but the matter was done quickly.

However, their purpose of negotiating has not changed.

As the first country in the world to have a bourgeois destiny, it is also a Union Republic. Most outsiders think that the Netherlands has no king-like figures.

At least for the moment, this possibility does not seem to exist.

The Dutch are worthy of being a country based on business. As long as it does not concern money and interests, they don’t care about face or anything else. It can be said that they can take it and let it go, and can bend and stretch.

"The Portuguese didn't receive the gold they received? Did the sun rise from the west today?"

But as far as I know, you Dutland is currently a Union Republic, and major national affairs are decided by the Union Parliament, and there is no king.

He was wondering whether his move would cause the Ming Dynasty to misunderstand that he had personally colluded with the Netherlands.

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty was the first empire in the East, and other countries were vassals of the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute every year.

So, on November 28, the fourth year of Zhaowu.

Although Luke was anxious, he did not lose his temper.

Because the above has already instructed that as long as the Dutch were in the riot mirror and within the surveillance area and did not do anything illegal or disorderly, there would be no need to restrict their actions too much, so the Ming officials and soldiers next to them did not stop them.

He then said, "Today, I was so confused that I was so angry that I left the scene.

After a pause, Kuang Lu made a request from the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Gao Shida gritted his teeth and rejected the heavy box, saying, "If you want to talk again, just tell the Ming officials that you are just there, don't ask me."

At this time, even the Netherlands, which was based on business and interests first, dared not violate religious rights and interests.

The Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands once again negotiated on the aftermath of the battle on Dongfan Island.

But in fact, Prince Orange, who served as the magistrate of many provinces for generations and was also appointed as the guardian of religion (Protestantism) by God, was actually the quasi-king of the Netherlands.

Otherwise, don't blame me for the Ming Dynasty for pursuing you for the 20-year occupation of Dongfan Island. At that time, the army of water and land came out together. Not to mention Malacca, even if you conquered the headquarters of your East India Company, Batavia and the Spice Islands, it would be nothing more than

Common things.

The pros and cons of this are clear and clear. I hope you can do it well and not make wrong choices."

After saying that, Kuang Lu left the venue with the Ming Dynasty's negotiating team again.

Second update.
