Only Putmans had no bargaining chips in his hand to negotiate with Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu was struggling to suffer internal injuries in a few words, and he was speechless, so he could only desperately think of countermeasures with flashing eyes.
At the same time, King Ping was negotiating with Korqin Great Khan Badali and Chahar envoy Nikru one after another, and his goal was to have more and close cooperation with Horqin outside of the military, such as enabling Horqin to establish the Ming Dynasty system, learn Ming Chinese characters, etiquette, be closer economically, open up the market, use Ming Dynasty new currency, establish strict relations with each other, and so on.
Badali was naturally resistant, but in the face of the powerful Ming Dynasty and the fact that the military force was controlled, he could only continue to compromise, and finally reached an agreement that 'the throne of the king of Shunyi will be hereditary and cannot be changed', and the rest are basically in accordance with Zhu Xu's intentions, nodding and agreeing.
Chahar is different, they are the direct descendants of Genghis Khan, the golden family, even if the decline is a mess, or the tiger does not fall apart, many issues are resolutely refused, but hope to exchange market with the Ming Dynasty, especially in artillery, iron armor, weapons support.
These Ming Dynasty categorically would not agree, and after talking, in the end, Chahar agreed to learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, Chinese characters, the currency of the Ming Dynasty, etc., and everything else refused.
King Ping didn't ask too much, and Zhu Xu's strategy for treating Chahar was very simple - 'boil the frog in warm water'!
Slowly stay up with time, once the time is ripe, it will be the moment when the Ming Dynasty will completely lift the threat from the north!
King Ping was relatively smooth, there were not many obstacles, and King Tang had more to talk about.
He talked with Korea, Satsuma Domain, and Ryukyu one by one, the main purpose was to establish a joint navy, but also the integration of the army, in short, the integration of military forces, Korea, Satsuma, and Ryukyu can be said to have no army, but they all faced this danger, and the Ming Dynasty helped form and train the army, of course, it was very happy.
In addition to the military, there are 'books with the same text, cars with the same track, business with the same road', the three countries must imitate the Ming Dynasty in the political system and culture, and establish a unified system, writing, weights and measures with the Ming Dynasty, and establish perfect rules in maritime trade, unified taxation and so on.
In short, these countries are too backward in all aspects, and the Ming Dynasty decided to vigorously help them, so that they can greatly improve in all aspects of politics, military, economy, and culture, and live a happy and healthy life close to the 'Heavenly Empire'.
In fact, except for Korea, the Satsuma Domain, and the Ryukyus are still quite 'ignorant', and the plans of the Ming Dynasty are ambitious, which makes them all excited, excited, and eager to succeed immediately!
The Tang Dynasty agreed with the Three Kingdoms and established specific measures, only waiting for the Ming Dynasty to issue detailed regulations.
Xiong Wencan and the countries of the southeast peninsula are negotiating one by one, these countries are not very peaceful, internal chaos, wars are continuous, 'Xiaoice River' is also affecting them, they hope that the Ming Dynasty will not pose a threat to them, and on the other hand, they hope to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, especially firearms, warships and the like.
Xiong Wencan is a master of 'fooling', on the one hand, he reached an agreement with them to 'call the ministers and pay tribute', and on the other hand, he emphasized that 'the law of etiquette cannot be abolished', and the Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate the 'inversion of the crown and shoes', and will carry out the necessary punishment for the 'lawbreakers', which will frighten many messengers.
The rebellion in the Southeast Peninsula, 'anyway', I don't know how many times, the 'legal system' established by the Ming Dynasty more than two hundred years ago has long become an ornament, and at this time the Ming Dynasty wants to interfere, for some of the current separatists, it is naturally extremely frightening!
Under Xiong Wencan's 'intimidation', these envoys scrambled to make assurances, making huge concessions on borders, trade, the establishment of a joint navy, the amount of tribute, etc.
But Xiong Wencan did not nod, and repeatedly oppressed, forcing them to make more concessions, and wanted to restore the posture of the 'Eight Great Xuanwei Mansions' in the early Ming Dynasty.
This time, none of these envoys spoke, let alone agreed, because they were only envoys and could not make so many decisions.
Xiong Wencan has been and constantly 'threatening' with words, he knows in his heart that no matter how dissatisfied these people are now and what their ideas are, once Zuo Liangyu and Yang Sichang's army steps on Annan, these people's concessions will be even greater!
While they were negotiating, Putmans was still struggling, negotiating with Zhu Xu.
"Your Majesty the Emperor," said Putmans, standing up and saluting, "I am deeply disturbed by this offense, and please tell me how I can appease your anger and let the Netherlands and the Ming live in peace and never offend each other." ” Pushing the dominant position to the opponent is also a negotiation skill, Zhu Xu ignored it and said: "You should understand that there is no need for my country to negotiate with the Netherlands at all, not to mention Asia, even if my country goes on an expedition to Europe, it is not difficult."
It is you, who are asking for negotiations with our country.
If you want to calm the war, you need to be sincere enough. ” Putmans was unable to calm his heart, and his face was full of hardship.
This situation is not so much a negotiation as a 'surrender', and now it is only a matter of talking about the terms of 'surrender', and we cannot ask the victor what to do, but can only do our best to preserve our existing advantages.
But how to keep it, Putmans was wandering around all over his head, and he couldn't find a solution.
In the face of Emperor Ming's calm and calm, Putmans was full of panic, he looked at Zhu Xu, his expression was slightly gloomy, and said: "Dear Your Majesty, I am willing to give all our territories in the South China Sea to the Ming Dynasty free of charge, and pay a sufficient price, hoping that in exchange for Your Majesty's friendship, I can allow the Netherlands to continue to trade around the Ming Kingdom without harm......
Asia is too rich for the Netherlands to lose, even if it can't be as dominant as before, but it still hopes to continue maritime trade, and its profits will be reduced, but it is still far more than Africa and the Americas!
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "China advocates free trade, if there is peace between the two countries, the Ming Dynasty will protect the Netherlands' trade activities in the South China Sea and even in Asia." ” When Putmans heard this, his eyes lit up, if they could get the protection of the Ming Kingdom, they would save a lot of money, just trade!
He looked at Zhu Xu's expression with blue eyes, and said with a slight turn: "Your Majesty, in addition to the previous gold, silver, and grain, I will also buy warships, cannons, muskets, and of course, porcelain, silk, etc., from the Ming Dynasty, and the profits will only be 10%, at most one year, I will bring tens of millions of silver profits to your country!"
” Zhu Xu doesn't know much about the current Dutch trade profits, but he knows that in the era of their 'sea coachman', the net profit of trade in Asia every year is as high as more than 20 tons of gold shipped back to Europe, and if you add others, the profit will be amazing!
This Putmans is now fighting the warships of the Ming Dynasty, the idea of artillery, Zhu Xu squinted unconsciously, Europe is now at war, fierce on land, or is it about to be fierce, 'arms export' may be an unexpected profiteering industry!
Zhu Xu smiled for the first time and said, "Your Excellency, I am interested in your proposal, but you still haven't been able to pay the price that satisfies me. ” Putmans frowned, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Respected Your Majesty, this is already the limit of my ability, if you have other non-scoring requirements, you can't do it at my level." ” Zhu Xu knew this little negotiation method, didn't listen to it, and said very directly, "You should know that the anger of the Ming Dynasty can burn to the whole world, and your company will bear the brunt." ” Putmans felt Zhu Xu's aggressiveness, thinking about Zhu Xu's smile just now, his heart suddenly moved, and said: "Your Majesty, if the Ming Kingdom can make more warships, cannons, and firearms, the profits will be even greater, and I can find a buyer for you." ” Zhu Xu smiled a little more, and said, "You mean that these profits are enough for you to compensate me and satisfy me?"
” Putmans obviously felt that Zhu Xu's tone was a little lighter, and he said more and more cautiously: "Yes." ” Zhu Xu looked at Putmans, did not speak, and his heart was spinning.
The purpose of developing commerce and trade is actually to accumulate original capital for the development of manufacturing, and now the manufacturing industry is very important to the Ming Dynasty, whether it is to deal with disasters or profits, it is very important!
Silk, cloth, tea, porcelain are all light industry, shipbuilding, artillery, muskets can be regarded as heavy industry, if there is really a broad market, the impact of the drive, up and down is absolutely huge, unimaginable!
However, Zhu Xu would not let him go so easily, sat up straight, and said: "In the South China Sea, all your things will be compensated to me, except for the clothes on your body, nothing else can be taken away, gold, silver, and grain are doubled." ” The corners of Puttmans's mouth twitched, Asia is the richest, and they have the largest investment, and now they are all handed over to the Ming Dynasty, the loss is not a little bit, and the compensation has doubled, it is almost his life!
He looked at Zhu Xu and was about to refuse when he opened his mouth, but Zhu Xu's calm expression on the other side swallowed back stiffly.
If he refuses, not only in the South China Sea, but also in the whole of Asia, it will be Ming's, and his life will also be left behind!
Putmans suppressed a trace of fear, thinking about it for a while, and his intuition was dripping blood, such a large number, he had to go to the head office for help, but once he asked for help, he was finished.
Putmans struggled violently in his heart, both ends were dead, and what was in front of him was even more urgent!
Zhu Xu nodded secretly in his heart, the details of the Dutch are almost clear, their strength is not strong enough, and they are not as rich as the 'sea coachman' in the future.
The corners of Putmans' face were uncomfortable, and he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I can agree to your request, but please forgive me enough time." ” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said, "How long will you take?"
” Now that the summer has just passed, the harvest is not long in all places, and the grain should be in his hands, Putmans has a way to mobilize, after all, from the Ming Kingdom to the Netherlands, it is two years to go back and forth, and he still has time to deal with this incident, and after a while, he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Half a year." ” Half a year, summer and autumn.
Zhu Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes." ” Putmans breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this 'compensation' matter is considered to be in the past, and he should have obtained the 'friendship' of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

With the windfall profits from Asian goods in Europe, he believed that it would not be long before he would be able to recoup his capital by 30% of his capital, barely coping with the directors of the head office.
Zhu Xu sat up straight, and said in a gentle voice, "How much do you want?"
