The Zheng He agreement has finally been signed.

The Dutch admitted that the Grand Secretary belonged to the Zheng family and was willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver as a ransom to redeem all the prisoners who fought against the Grand Secretary.

At the same time, another 100,000 taels of silver was paid as war compensation.

The Zhenghe trade continued, and the trading location was set in Tainan. The Zheng family will set up an area as a trade zone, and both merchants and civilians can trade freely. Dutch merchant ships can also use this as a transit station and trade normally with Japan through the Zheng sphere of influence.

Both sides tacitly put aside matters related to New South Wales. At the same time, the Dutch East India Company also made a promise that it would not have any contact with the Qing Dynasty without Zheng's permission, and it would not allow the sale of guns, gunpowder and other military supplies to the Qing Dynasty.

The Dutch originally wanted to get compensation for judicial rights, but Zheng Zhilong would not give them any face.

So Fanosini's face was ugly when signing the agreement. As a senior business representative of East India Company, this agreement made him feel shame.

He said harshly in his heart that when he returned to Batavia, he immediately began to transport guns and cannons to the Tatars in the north, but he could only greet Zheng Hongkui with a smile on his face.

The musket in the hands of the Chinese people was pressing against the company's forehead, and they had to agree. Otherwise, the severance of trade on Japan would bring another heavy blow to the Far East branch, which suffered heavy losses.

Without the officers and Japan, the company's interests in the East are not enough.

In that way, the seventeen noble gentlemen in Amsterdam would peel each of them without dipping sauce.

So, let's go to NSW.

The Chinese suddenly entered the hinterland of Nanyang, and the company naturally felt a huge threat, but what about those indigenous countries? What will they react? Thinking about it, Nosini smiled grimly in his heart, he believed that Anthony must have been taking action.

Just three years ago, the Dutch drove away the Portuguese and seized the city of Malacca. Although their relationship with the Kingdom of Johor deteriorated sharply, it undoubtedly deepened the Dutch influence on the Malay Peninsula.

The powerful Aceh Kingdom caused its own rule instability due to the emergence of the suldan, and civil strife was not enough, but it is certain that the majesty of the central government was weakened.

In the past two years, Batavia has been planning to split the Kingdom of Aceh, at least splitting the areas of Pahang, Kedah, Perak, Nias and Indalapra on the Malay Peninsula with Sumatra (the main body of the Kingdom of Aceh).

Of course, the emergence of Chinese people in the hinterland of Southeast Asia will also make Batavia reconsider its relationship with the Kingdom of Johor. Fanosini believes that Sudan in Johor will definitely reconsider its relationship with Batavia.

Originally, Malacca was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but now it has become a battle for hegemony among the four countries, which has a great impact.

But Fanosini does not believe that the Chinese can win "victory" in Nanyang. The latter is a completely unfamiliar environment for the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong has no friendship with those native kings. How can they win the victory with the company?

When Fanosini thought of this, the smile on her face bloomed even more.

Zheng Hongkui didn't think too much. The two sides agreed that the Zheng family could always terminate the military affairs on one side. The next thing was to do was to rely on the Zheng family's methods of running Nanyang.

Although Zheng Hongkui had not paid much attention to Nanyang before, he was very confident in the business of the Zheng family in Nanyang.

Zheng Zhilong asked for the official position of "Nanyang Xuanwei Envoy" from Emperor Chongzhen, which probably aroused the long-standing memories of many local kings.

Although the word "Old Port" has changed to "Nanyang", everyone can understand the meaning.

What's more, the current South Ocean lands are trembling under the Western barbarians' military fronts and are in danger. After Spain completely conquered Luzon, even Japan believed that the army of Spain and Portugal would come across the sea, which is also a major reason why Japan is closed down.

Now that China's time-honored security companies have held up their protective umbrellas, will they still invest in it?

It would be fine if the Kingdom of Aceh was at its peak. Although the appearance of the Female Sudan shocked the country's power, it was obviously not something that others dared to provoke in the short term.

Not to mention Angkor in the decline and Annan in the split, the other two powerful countries on the Indochina Peninsula, Myanmar and Siam, have ended their battles for many years and are now resting and recuperating. Whether it is King Talong of the Tohshu Dynasty in Myanmar or King Basetton of Siam, the two Buddhist countries are in a state of lack of morale of foreign wars, the social productivity of the two countries has been restored and developed, and culture and art have shown prosperity.

Luzon was finished, and the remaining mud and Sulu were all frightened by the Europeans' soldiers. Since the Portuguese and Spaniards entered East Asia, the Dutch and British have come one after another.

It’s like Peking University New Year on the Malay Peninsula. It has become a public toilet and anyone can access it.

Like the British, their first place in East Asia was Peking University, and then they inserted into the Spice Islands. In the end, they wanted to make a kick along the coast of China and Japan, but were kicked away by the Dutch. They gave up all the trading houses in East Asia and concentrated their efforts to retract back to India in exchange for the qualification to get a share of the Zhenghe trade.

Now that China's old-fashioned security company with excellent credibility has opened, will you still worry about not coming?

I saw that after waiting for a year or two, the Zheng family would not give Emperor Chongzhen a while to "all nations come to pay tribute"!

"The most troublesome thing is the Malay Peninsula." Zheng Zhilong threw down the information in his hand. Several of the thirteen Malay states in later generations have now revealed their prototypes. For example, Johor, Kedah, Pahang, and Pili...

But Johor is definitely not Johor in the 21st century. Now it is still a country. Johor King Abdul Charissa also took advantage of the Portuguese forces to withdraw from the Malay Peninsula and gave his national power a certain revival.

If he hadn't felt the increasing pressure from the Dutch recently, he would definitely not have given up Temasek for nothing.

What about Pahang? In just half a century, it has been attacked and occupied by Aceh, Johor, Portuguese and Dutch people. It is difficult to find a Pahang royal family from the local nobles. But that geographical location is very important. It is located in the center of the entire peninsula. Zheng Zhilong obviously cannot sit idly by and watch it be controlled by the Dutch, and of course the Johor people are not good either!

The following Pili, Kedah, etc. all have their own troubles. They either have connections with Aceh, or have entanglements with Johor and Dutch people.

If Zheng Zhilong accepted everyone, these indigenous countries on the Malay Peninsula would not show anything on their faces, and I don’t know how to curse him behind his back.

Because Zheng Zhilong needs the next Nanyang country to be completely "peaceful", the definition of Nanyang is just Zheng Jun's back garden, so Zheng Zhilong will not be too concerned about them. Such actions will inevitably meet the wishes of some people, and will also make the other part dissatisfied.

Just like Abdul Charissa in Johor.

Finally, the Portuguese got out. The Dutch arrived for the first time. He didn't take the opportunity to expand his territory. When would he stay? Moreover, he was already very "benevolent" to the Zheng family. Temasek gave up. Do you have the Zheng family's courage to ask him to continue to hang out?

...

Zheng Zhilong hurried in his nest to study the situation in the South China Sea. In the distant Malacca, several Galen ships were also sailing through Malacca and were slowly sailing towards the waters of New South Wales. There were several well-dressed Western men standing in the A-class of the largest Galen ship.

The leader of a middle-aged man dressed in kind was looking at the vast sea in front of him. He asked the people around him: "Captain Joseph, how long will it take to sail to reach New South Wales? I can't wait to see it." The Chinese actually signed a contract with them in Batavia to purchase cotton and saltpeter from India for a long time.

When he was in Mumbai, he couldn't believe his vision when he saw this contract for the first time, and then he came with the ship himself. (Mumbai was not the British territory at this time, but this refers to their storehouse)

It is a wonderful deal to trade Indian cotton and saltpeter for Chinese silk and porcelain. Unfortunately, there is a serious inequality in value between the two.

A large bag of solid cotton may not be able to replace a piece of silk or a high-end white porcelain.

To this end, Boris Johnson also brought a large amount of silver, as well as some ivory and gems. Then in Malacca, he received news from people that he could take the boat directly to New South Wales.

"Mr. Johnson, if the wind remains unchanged, you will arrive this afternoon. The wind on the deck is strong, so you'd better go back to the cabin."

Johnson smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, Captain Joseph. But it's okay, I want to stand here for a while. NSW, China, we finally see hope, right?"

Everyone around laughed.

Johnson was poured into the mouth by the sea breeze, but the flushing tide of his face did not fade at all. "... Gentlemen, let us temporarily suppress our excitement. After all, we have not arrived in New South Wales and have not seen the respected Mr. Chen Mingwen, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Johnson. You said a lot. But I still want to say that gentleman will not let me down. We came with great expectations. Otherwise, I suggest that those Chinese taste our anger." A tall entourage said, waving his powerful fist.

"I don't know if this so-called New South Wales is half the size of Mumbai." Mumbai Island is one of the seven islands of Mumbai, and the seven small islands are the location of Mumbai in later generations. In 1782, the British reclaimed seven small islands of Mumbai, and later became a large island. It is the current Old Mumbai City, which is the richest area in India and the center of Indian business. Since the 20th century, the seven islands have been merged, and the area has been 70 square kilometers.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The decent dressed decent people on the deck all burst into laughter. The mysterious East and the rich East. Although they have heard many stories, in the eyes of these individuals, the stories are too absurd. They will not express their respect without seeing the truth with their own eyes.

You should know that they fought a war with the Ming army six years ago. After John Widdle returned to India, he boasted about his victory and the cowardice and stupidity of the Ming people. As for the real situation, few people know, and no one cares about it now.

Boris Johnson didn't know either, because he was still in London six years ago.

Only Captain Joseph next to him frowned and secretly despised him. Have these arrogant guys forgotten the Dutch's defeat?

As for Widdle's victory, he had heard it a long time ago. But whether it was true or not, he didn't think it needed to be considered.

The Dutch wished that they would cut off the ties between the British and the Chinese Sea. Will they allow Widdle to lead six armed merchant ships to Macau?

In addition, Weidell also led an armed merchant ship to fight with the Chinese, forcing Chinese officials to let British merchants go ashore to Guangzhou City to buy goods. If that is the case, the Chinese would not need to move, and the Portuguese could clean up Weidell.

If everyone goes to Guangzhou City to buy goods, what else will Macau do? Even they (Portuguese) can only go to Guangzhou City once.
