Chapter 412: The Stupid Dutch Ambassador

Before Dennis could understand what was going on, the Ming Dynasty Minister of the Honglu Temple brought the guards and threw two things out.

A violent explosion immediately came from the yard, and Dennis was shocked.

As the powerful envoy of the maritime coachman to the Ming Dynasty at that time, Dennis was definitely not an ordinary character.

He is completely familiar with the homemade explosive packs of muskets and cannons, and has a certain authority.

But he had not only never seen the thing the Ming soldiers used, but he had never even heard of it.

Without even having to argue with the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Dennis quickly walked out of the hall.

He wanted to see how destructive the thing was, and when he went back, he could start his country's development.

After coming out, I saw three internal security guards standing there, staring blankly at a big pit on the ground and his eyes were straightened.

Seeing the ambassador come out, a red-haired inner security guard asked in a hurry:

"Sir, how could an explosion occur underground?"

It turned out that they did not see the Ming soldiers throwing grenades, and they hurried over to check it out after hearing the explosion.

Dennis ignored them and turned back into the hall, but felt very nervous.

"Damn, when did the Ming army become so powerful and so advanced weapons have been developed. It seems that they were not accidental to recover Taiwan. Liu Lishun must have been bad today!"

Dennis was thinking about how to deal with Liu Lishun's mind, and for a moment, he fell into deep thought.

Just now, Too Tian's anger was suppressed by two grenades, which made him suddenly calm down.

Seeing that Dennis didn't speak, Liu Lishun smiled proudly, which was the result he wanted.

Honglu Temple smiled coldly and said:

"Mr. Dennis, the Honglu Temple expressed strong indignation and resistance to the Dutch government under the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

We have protested that you have occupied Taiwan's territory in Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years. During these 20 years, you have not only plundered Taiwan's resources without scruplement, but also bullied and killed countless people in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty court believed that your robbery behavior was not in line with the diplomatic principle of equality and mutual benefit between the two countries.

Now the Ming Dynasty strongly demands that the Kingdom of the Netherlands compensate Ming Dynasty with 10 million taels of silver for economic and reputation losses…”

The generous speech of Liu Lishun of the Honglu Temple suddenly made Dennis confused. He even suspected that Liu Lishun's head had water.

He stared at Liu Lishun, the Minister of the Ming Dynasty's Honglu Temple, incredible sense, and felt his whole body begin to tremble:

"What? The Ming Dynasty asked our empire to compensate 10 million taels of silver? This is absolutely impossible.

If you want to pursue the investigation, it should be the Netherlands Empire that pursues you to attack Taiwan and kill my Netherlands soldiers..."

Here we explain that after the death of King Ferdinand of Spain, his grandson Charles I ascended the throne.

Charlie had inherited the Netherlands from his father (son of the Holy Roman Emperor) in 1506.

At this time, he owned this land as the king of Spain.

From then on, the Netherlands became a territory of Spain.

That is, after the early 16th century, it was ruled by the Habsburg family in Spain.

In 1566, northern provinces launched a bourgeois revolution against Spanish feudal rule.

In 1579, eight northern provinces and some southern cities established the "Utrecht Alliance".

The "United Republic of the Netherlands" was established in 1581.

After 1795, it became the Dutch Kingdom under French rule.

Now when it comes to the Netherlands, many people will only think that the Netherlands is a country with beautiful scenery, poetic and very stable, and is a good place to travel.

But what many people don’t know is that the Netherlands was once a powerful country that was comparable to Britain.

At that time, like all powerful countries, the Netherlands liked to launch wars and turned the territory of other countries into its own colonies.

I like to plunder the interests of other countries, but I am not as calm as I am now.

So how powerful was the Netherlands at its heyday?

Colonies are spread all over the world, and the empire will give in three points even if it does not set aside.

After the economy developed, the Netherlands promoted the domestic shipbuilding industry and began to focus on the development of maritime transportation.

At that time, the Netherlands was also known as the "Sea Coachman". With its unique geographical location and the spirit of constantly renovating merchant ships.

The Netherlands' maritime transportation is developing better and better. In order to transport more cargo, the Dutch designed special cargo ships.

Although there is no equipment that can be attacked, it can transport more cargo than other countries' cargo ships during the same period.

The shipping price is also very cheap, and the cost of a ship is only half that of other countries.

I have to say that the Dutch are very business-minded.

After tasting the sweetness of war, the Netherlands was out of control.

It began to show its hegemony internationally. Even Britain, which claimed to be the empire of the sun never set, would pay tolls to the Netherlands when passing by the Strait of Malacca, which was monopolized by the Netherlands. It is conceivable how powerful the Netherlands was at that time.

At its heyday, the Netherlands had colonies all over the world, including Dutch colonies, Asia, Africa and America.

At that time, the Netherlands' colonies were second only to Spain. Even the ambassador, he, might not be able to explain how many colonies there were in the world.

If people ask the Netherlands to pay compensation for colonization because of colonization, what's the point of the Netherlands going to do everything they can to colonize? Wouldn't they have to wear shorts that they will pay for in the end?

Liu Lishun Leng knew that Dennis had something to rely on and was not afraid of the Ming Dynasty, so he smiled coldly:

"Mr. Dennis, don't make a mistake. You have traveled thousands of miles to my Ming Dynasty to invade our territory. We are not going to the Netherlands to invade you. I advise you to be wise."

The Dutch diplomat who usually speaks sharply will only repeat one sentence at this time:

"No, no... this is absolutely impossible. You not only have to compensate us for the losses, but also apologize to our country..."

Liu Jishun no longer had the patience to talk to this red-haired ghost. He suddenly slapped the table and stood up:

"Bang..."

"Dennis, you must understand that this is not a discussion with you by my Ming Dynasty, but an ultimatum to you.

This minister officially announced that the Ming Dynasty will officially break off diplomatic relations with your country, and all the Dutch people will withdraw from the Ming Dynasty in three days.

The Ming Dynasty and you are no longer in diplomatic relations, so immediately close the trading port with your country.

At the same time, the Ming vassal states must cut off trade relations with you, and Dutch ships cannot approach the Ming waters, otherwise all of them will be sunk.

You should have been expelled from the Ming Dynasty immediately, but the Ming Emperor had the virtue of living a life, so he decided to give you three days to consider.

Three days later, if you are still so stubborn, don’t blame Daming for being polite.”

The Ming Dynasty Minister of the Honglu Temple gave Dennis an ultimatum and then turned around and left.

Seeing the departure of the Ming Dynasty's Honglu Temple, Dennis was trembling all over.

"Shame, let us pay compensation to the Ming Dynasty. This is simply a fool. My Netherlands Empire will never do this. How can you be afraid that you will not succeed..."
