Song Ke looked at it one by one, and the expression on his face calmed down.

In fact, this treaty is much looser than I thought at the beginning!

It seems that the people on Hutchison's side still know that the East India Company's fleet was seriously damaged and it was a big loss, but the foundation is still there and there are no warships. It is still possible to gather dozens of armed merchant ships.

I was so anxious that if you had another naval battle, beware of the sailboat, you might not be able to win.

Even if you can't win, if you continue to fight like this, it will be a death-and-death battle. The performance of East India Company this year has been calculated, but how can Hutchison be better?

The first place that Taiwan and Governor Cohen are concerned about has great potential and is very important. Which ships from Fujian and Zhejiang do not pass through the Taiwan Strait and Penghu?

Whether it is replenishing water, resting, or hiding from wind and pirates, Taiwan’s geographical location is quite suitable. There is such a place that can benefit from trade with China and control trade with Japan. This is a golden treasure land!

Of course, Penghu is more mature and has a better position, otherwise the Dutch would not have sought to seize Penghu first, and Taiwan would have been the second best.

After having Taiwan, I realized that it was a treasure land. Penghu was small and the wind was strong. It was only low stone houses and it was not easy to grow grain. It was only planted with beans and vegetables. The food of the people was brought from Fujian, and generally only fishermen were stationed on the island.

After the Dutch attacked, the court knew that Penghu was important and then began to set up regular guards. The original Penghu Inspection Office was just a false story, but now it is defending seriously.

Taiwan is different. The place is large, the seaside is flat, the climate is pleasant, and it is very suitable for planting various cash crops. In addition, there are many fish and animals, especially the wild deer herds are very large. The whole Taiwan is so big that there are only about 100,000 natives, with few people and many beasts. The Dutch brought forced natives to beat wild deer everywhere, and they would vomit roasted venison. The deer skin sold at most tens of thousands a year. This is the highest record of the Dutch East India Company. It is conceivable how huge the deer sheds in Taiwan in this era.

Such a good place, Hutchison must be given out. Although she was mentally prepared in advance, Song Ke obviously couldn't accept it.

"Other terms can be discussed, but we are sincere when we come." Song Ke said: "It is absolutely impossible to give up the territories we have already opened. We can live in peace and not have to fight and kill."

Li Pingzhi almost laughed out loud. These days, colonists talked about peace and were unwilling to fight and kill. It was really a weasel singing a happy song for the chicken. It was so funny no matter how you look at it.

"Lying beside the bed, you cannot let others sleep soundly." Zheng Zhilong said directly in Duo. "Other terms can be negotiated. Let the castle built by the master and you, and this one cannot be negotiated!"

"There are no other terms to be discussed!" Li Pingzhi glanced at Zheng Zhilong dissatisfiedly. Although this guy was a fraud, he was too easy to reveal his own secrets and was too uncautious in his work.

Zheng Zhilong knew that he was a little rogue, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked good that the Dutch was still being deceived, so he didn't notice anything abnormal.

Of course, it is impossible for the Marching Division to really expect the Dutch to withdraw... The colonists' temper is swallowed and don't expect to spit it out. Besides, the Dutch are still a little higher than the Marching Division. It is not as strong as the colonists, and it is not easy to deal with, let alone their strength is indeed a little stronger?

Today, the army made such a big scene, with great soldiers and horses, workshops, cannons, shipyards, and various plans. The Dutch people watched it all, why? Why aren’t they adding bargaining chips to the negotiations?

This is also the Dutch who committed suicide by himself. Hutchison has already made plans to negotiate on the door, but Song Ke and the others came first. How could Chang Wei and Li Pingzhi let go of this opportunity?

Of course, it is to seize all the favorable things, first take the lead psychologically, give the Dutch a shot, and then the conditions offered are of course very harsh. The most critical first is to monopolize Taiwan, and to show the attitude of Muji toward the officials. In fact, the struggle for the officials is just a smokescreen. In order to ensure that the officials and the Jelan Chacheng are fine, the Dutch will not be too serious about other terms, and it is precisely those terms that do not suffer much loss.

In the words of Dyzhnev, as long as the Hutchison Army Department can ensure that wood is sent continuously and iron and sails are enough, two years later, Hutchison's fleet will be an invincible existence in Asia. At that time, dozens of large warships were put out of the sea outside the commander, what could the Dutch do? So what if there is a treaty? The treaty is signed. It is used to tear it out... Don't say that the Europeans value the treaty, it depends on what kind of treaty it is. There should be too many things for the powers of various countries to tear up the treaty...

"No matter what, if the first one is not modified, the negotiation cannot continue." Song Ke was also very straightforward. If he didn't hold on at this time, his momentum became weak, and the negotiation really turned into surrender. Thinking that he had been pinching his nose until now, he was so angry that he was so angry that he felt a little majestic as soon as he got ashore.

Unfortunately, Li Pingzhi was not easy to meet. He stood up and shouted: "The first one is not to be discussed, so there is no need to continue this negotiation. You can return to the senior officials now."

"What do you want?" Song Ke didn't expect to break up when he came up, and said angrily: "Would you like to negotiate?"

"Negotiation is negotiation." Li Pingzhi slapped the table and shouted: "We are here to sign the negotiation. If you want to succeed, sign, sign now!"

...

"My God," Sun Jingting observed the situation in the room through the window, turned to Chang Wei and said astonished: "Is Li Pingzhi the same style in his usual marching department?"

"Of course not." Chang Wei and Sun Jingting walked a few steps away before laughing.

After laughing for a while, Chang Wei said: "This is Li Pingzhi's intentional negotiation skills. First, arrange some scenes for these heroes to show them, and then use words to grasp them. Only these people will think we really want the seniors."

Chang Wei snorted coldly and said, "I won't ask for the senior officials now, and I can't hold it even if I ask for it. The next step is to wait for the warships to take the water. In a year, the sailing ships will not be used, but our bird ships and fire ships will be more. We are invincible in the offshore. When we go to the offshore, we will have at least twelve sailboats of more than 400 to more than 600 tons in two years, and ten 600-ton Garen ships, plus thirty armed merchant ships. So what about the East India Company? Within two years, the strength will be less than half of ours. If we fight again, we will add one less. They will come from here from us. If the strong dragon does not defeat the local snake, we will have to take down the senior officials for at most two years! Within five years, we will win their Batavia and get the benefits!"

Although Chang Wei did not slap the table, his tone was also sonorous and powerful, with a kind of tossing confidence and strong confidence.

If confidence is based on strength, it will be even more impressive and admirable.

Fortunately, Sun Jingting was opposite him. Sun Jingting was just smiling when he heard it, but there were not many signs of the rise of the virtual fire.

“How much money can the East India Company make in a year?”

The financial system is under the leadership of Sun Jingting. At this moment, Lord Sun didn't care much about territory. In terms of territory, Taiwan is about the same size as Datong Prefecture, but there are at least fifty large grassland territories controlled by Hutchison in the north, and there will be more and larger territories in the future. Sun Jingting is not very interested in the place Chang Wei is thinking about. He is interested in money.

"I'll know when I'll settle the accounts for Brother Xiaozheng." Thinking of the huge wealth, Chang Wei rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.

"The East India Company has 35 colonies in Asia, the largest and most stable one is Batavia, and the one who just got it was Taiwan. But it has actually been operating in Taiwan for many years, and now the warehouse is gradually moving to Relan Chacheng. When it moved the warehouse, we found that the porcelain from Jingdezhen alone was 890,000 pieces. There were more than 100,000 dan of raw silk and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of tea. Among its profit points, Japan ranked first and Taiwan ranked second. The profit they transported back to China last year was 300,000 Dutch guilds provided by Taiwan, worth 700,000 taels of silver. This was Taiwan alone.

The profit accounts for less than 20% of its total profit. Its company not only transports our raw silk, tea, porcelain, pottery and gold, but also sells our freight to Europe, but also sells raw silk to Japan and Japan goods to us. At the same time, it sells Ceylon spices, pepper, linen, cotton, tin, gold to Japan or back to Europe. They sell metals and medicinal materials to various countries, and there are also various industrial products. Last year, its company sold three million pieces of porcelain to Annan, Myanmar, Ceylon, India, Persia, and Arabia, and the total profit of more than five million taels a year!”

Sun Jingting was so happy that he was about to scream.

What is a turning point? This is a turning point!

At this time, he felt pleasing to Zhang Han's plan in Taiwan several years in advance, and the last bit of suspicion in his heart disappeared without a trace.

The net profit of at least 50 million silver dollars a year, plus the original income of the Taiwan Marine Department, that is, the income of Taiwan may be the same as the total income of the Military Department in about two to five years, or even exceeds that of the total income of the Military Department.

By then, the annual income of 145 million yuan a year was several million taels more than the Ming Dynasty court...

Sun Jingting felt that he was a little dizzy, and felt a little unable to stand.

"The intelligence work of the Taiwan Marine Department is doing well." Sun Jingting calmed down and praised the military intelligence department of the Marine Department.

"This is General Jiang Kui. He Bin was transferred to the military intelligence department at the end of last year, which helped Jiang Kui a lot." Chang Wei smiled and commented: "He Bin was originally a delicate and cautious person. He has been in Hirado and Luzon for many years, and he has also been to Batavia. He is familiar with people and has many connections, so it is very convenient to master intelligence work. In the past six months, our understanding of the strength and layout of the East India Company has made great achievements. He has made great contributions, so I have reported my contribution to the military department."
