As for the Japanese shogunate, the price he paid must be Ishimi Ginyama. It is estimated that Tokugawa Ishimi Ishimi should have thought for a long time before making such a decision. Tokugawa Ishimi Ishimi Ishimi Ishimi was certainly unwilling to give up Ishimi Ginyama. However, he had to give up. If the shogun general was defeated and destroyed, there would be nothing left. On the contrary, abandoning Ishimi Ginyama and gaining the preservation of power, the shogunate was still acceptable.

...

What do the Dutch like the most?

My favorite is of course the white silver.

At present, in the Netherlands, the most prosperous industry is not shipbuilding, maritime trade, or war money, but financial industry. To be precise, it is the banking industry that mainly lends. The profits of lending are much more stable than doing business and the returns are quite good. Twenty years ago, there were only about ten banks in the Netherlands, but now it has increased to more than one hundred. The capital of each bank has also increased significantly.

Every year, a large number of Dutch people invest the profits they obtain from various places into banks, and then lend a lot to obtain high interest. It is said that at its peak, the interest on loans flowing into the Netherlands every year was 100 million Dutch guilds. This number is simply shocking. More and more Dutch people do not like to work, go out to sea, do not like to do business, they are only willing to charge interest to live a life of living and living a life of living.

Later generations of historians said that the Dutch eventually lost its position as a maritime overlord not because of the rise of the British, but because the Dutch defeated themselves. They liked lending too much, enjoying life too much, and completely lost their enterprising spirit. So that in the end, all the money went abroad and they lost themselves. Of course, this is a matter of opinion.

As the governor of Taiwan, Putman didn't like Taiwan at all. At that time, Taiwan was still an uncivilized place and had nothing except primitive resources. He just wanted to go back to the Netherlands as soon as possible and live a capitalist life. Because he had a banker's father-in-law who could obtain a large amount of interest income through lending.

If we could get a stable source of income from the East and continuously invest it into bank lending, there would be a steady stream of interest income and wealth could grow rapidly. At that time, all Europeans, no matter which country, were borrowing high loans from the Dutch, and no matter how much money the Dutch had, they would not have to worry about their way out.

However, Putman cannot make decisions about Japan, only the East India Company can decide. There is no other way to convince the senior management of the East India Company, only dazzling wealth. Ishimi Yinshan is the most dazzling wealth. Putman uses Ishimi Yinshan to launch the senior management of the East India Company in La Holland. That is the best.

Every year, the Spanish had to obtain a large amount of silver from Mexico. It was absolutely impossible for the Dutch to say that these silver were not jealous. In Europe at that time, the most powerful opponent of the Dutch was the Spanish. Therefore, weakening the power of Spain has always been the Dutch's established goal. However, the Dutch had failed to seize Mexico.

In the final analysis, the Dutch population is too small. Their manpower can only maintain a huge navy. Apart from the navy, there are not many people in the army. However, it takes a lot of army power to compete for the American continent. The myth that hundreds of Spaniards conquered the Indians is now impossible to stage.

Similarly, colonies also require a large number of army support. The Dutch population is not enough, and the number of colonies that compete for is far less than that of other major countries. Compared with other European powers, Dutch colonies are actually pitifully few. This is like the Tartars, a fatal flaw, but there is no hope of change in the short term.

The British and the Dutch fought for decades, and eventually defeated the Dutch and became the maritime overlords. The population of the UK also played an important decisive role. The population of the UK was at least ten times that of the Dutch. This ensured that the British could have a relatively powerful army while having a huge fleet.

Of course, these populations are not enough compared to the population of Ming. The populations of all European countries are not as large as those of Ming. Zhang Zhun was confident that he could fight for hegemony in the world, which was also based on a huge population advantage. In the world at that time, who could have drawn out more than one million troops besides Ming?

"Governor, if this is the case, we will not be able to continue the talk."

Anita obviously didn't want to continue discussing this issue. He stood up and clearly stated that there was no possibility of negotiation about Ishimi Yinshan's belonging.

"There is no way, we are indeed sincere."

Zhang Zhun said very hypocritically.

His hypocrisy was simply naked, unconcealed, completely on his face. This excessive hypocrisy made Anita feel disgusted.

"Goodbye!"

Anita said in disappointment.

"See you well!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said goodbye to Anita.

Anita hesitated for a moment, as if he was going to say something. But in the end, he still said nothing and quietly left.

"Sir, what is the purpose of the Dutch?"

Wang Shide asked suspiciously.

"Silver!"

Zhang Zhun said lightly.

The most fundamental purpose of the Dutch people trying to intervene in the Japanese war is silver. This makes the burden on Zhang Zhun a little easier. Because this fully shows that the Dutch people will not be trapped in the Japanese battlefield very deeply. The reason is very simple. If they come for money, there will definitely be a cost-effective problem. If they lose too much and are not compensated enough, it will not be cost-effective.

What the Dutch is powerful is its maritime power. As for its army... Zhang Zhun could not even determine whether the Dutch had an army. A country like Japan could not completely determine the situation of the war by relying on the navy alone. If you want to compete for the Japanese mainland, without an army, it would be a joke. Armed sailors and other temporary workers can only act as temporary workers and will definitely not last long.

When the Dutch were in contact with the Japanese, they probably were only willing to use the power from the sea. The only thing they could use was the power from the sea. The Hu Ben Army was different. The Hu Ben Army had a powerful navy, a powerful army, and walked on two legs. On the ocean, the Hu Ben Army Navy could fight. On the land, the Hu Ben Army Army could also fight.

Once the Dutch falls deeply into the Japanese battlefield, no one knows what the consequences will be. Are the Dutch willing to fall deeply into the Japanese battlefield? Judging from the current situation, they should be reluctant. Because once they fall deeply into the battlefield, it means that expenses will increase a lot and the risks will continue to increase.

The headquarters of the Dutch East India Company is located in Batavia on Java Island (which is today Jakarta, Indonesia). There is no doubt that it is indeed far from Japan. The various colonial work on Taiwan Island has not been completed and cannot undertake too many logistical tasks. If the Dutch wanted to interfere in the Japanese battlefield, they had to set out from Jakarta and head north.

In the sea of ​​Southeast Asia, the Dutch had some enemies, such as the Spanish, Portuguese, etc. The two teeth were the first to arrive in the South China Ocean, but later they were caught up by the Dutch, so they naturally would not be very convinced. The route with the most profitable South China Ocean is still in the hands of Spain, which is the route from Manila, crossing the Pacific Ocean, and all the way to Acapulco, Mexico.

There is no doubt that the Dutch were jealous of this route. However, the Spanish power was still relatively strong. Spain had regulations that only the colonies and the suzerain states could trade directly. The Dutch had been entangled with the Spanish recently. Once the main fleet headed north, the Spanish would definitely get a chance to breathe.

Zhang Zhun suddenly realized that it was time for him to have further contact with the Western powers. The battle between major powers and the alliance between them should start from now on. Saiviara has been pestering him to ask for technical information from the Tiger Army all day long, and he is already a little unable to resist it. At this time, she was sent to Nanyang, and she was completely clean!
