"Haha, this Dutch is still more etiquette and has traveled thousands of miles to bring such gifts to me and the queen. When the negotiation is completed and when he returns to his country, I will also give him a gift for him to bring back to his country. It is impolite for the visitor to not be polite. My country of China is not abolished by etiquette.

Big companion, please give these gifts to the queen to distribute, and give them to Chen Qing and Zou Qing to see the seats and serve tea!”

In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Youjian was interested in playing with a flintlock pistol inlaid with various gems, and said with a smile to Chen Qiyu and Zou Weilian who came to report their lives.

In addition to giving Zhu Youjian this gun, the Dutch envoy also had ten large and small self-tone bells. The gifts he gave to Zhou Hou were also a Western-style back crown inlaid with many gems, a wooden box filled with gems, and some wool fabrics produced in the Netherlands.

"What the Lord said is very true! I see that the two Dutch envoys, although they are tall, have very polite behaviors, and their tone of speech is also respectful to others. Just this point, I conclude that their country is not a barbaric country, but a place of wealth.

On the other hand, the envoy of the Great Buddha Langji Kingdom was rude and vulgar, which made people disgusted! If such a barbarian country is a close neighbor of our emperor, it will definitely be a person who will be provoked every day, and it will be a country that must be conquered!"

After following Zhu Youjian's words and praising the Dutch, Old Chen decisively put eye drops on Etro, implying that it would be far away. If it was close, the Ming Dynasty should send troops to destroy it.

"Well, Chen Qing saw the essence of his country. Last year, although the general of Taiwan led his troops to wipe out 800 people from the Netherlands, the Dutch did not raise any objections on this trip. Because his country believed that since it was a war, there would be a victory or defeat, and the loser was not as good as others. If you want to take revenge, you can send troops to fight and win to comfort his soul. This is a fair statement of Western barbarians.

But the so-called Great Buddha Langjiren is in the realm of our Ming Dynasty. His arrogant attitude is revealed. He is obviously trying to plot against Taiwan’s treasure island but is defeated, but he always asks for compensation. His words and deeds are ridiculous. Such a country is indeed a country that must be conquered!"

Zhu Youjian clearly remembered the Manila massacre incident in history this year, but he also understood that in the present without the concept of state and nation, the Ming Dynasty had no desire to share the same hatred for such things.

Because in the eyes of most Ming people, these Ming people who ran to Nanyang had deviated from their ancestors and deserved it to be killed, and the Ming Dynasty had no obligation to avenge them.

But Zhu Youjian didn't think so.

As long as their ancestors lived in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what the reason was, as long as they wore Hanfu, spoke Chinese language, learned Chinese characters, and promoted Han customs, they should be protected by their motherland. If this protection is not enough, then they will take revenge.

More than 20,000 living lives died under the Spanish butcher's knife, and the executioner tried to send troops to invade the Ming Dynasty and then seize more wealth from this beautiful and fertile land. He had nothing to say about such a country, just need to go for tooth and for blood to go for blood.

Since Etro successfully aroused the dissatisfaction and even murderous intentions of Chen Qiyu and others, then take the opportunity to make a big deal.

Chen Qiyu was first surprised by the emperor's unexpected approval, and then was very happy. As long as the emperor supported him, he would find a fault to kill the proud dwarf. But who should I find?

Don’t think that those who are in high positions do not have the distractions of ordinary people like love, hate, and love. As long as they are humans, they cannot get rid of these thinking, let alone those like Chen Qiyu who have reflected on themselves countless times in the imperial prison.

When summarizing his past gains and losses, Chen Qiyu believed that being kind and ruthless is a major flaw of his own and he must be corrected.

"I believe that the old minister should not make a slander to others because of their temporary likes and dislikes. According to my reports, the strength of the Great Buddha Langji Kingdom should not be underestimated. It is also a war-friendly country. Moreover, the two countries are thousands of miles apart, so there is no need to become enemies with them.

In addition to the compensation he raised this time, in addition to the self-inflicted fault of Taiwan Island, two people who were killed by the personal army in Tianjin Wei Wai were better to give them some silver. This would not make our emperor Mingkong famous!"

Zou Weilian, who saw the emperor and the newly promoted Grand Secretary Chen, seemed to be discussing how to deal with the Spanish. He was a little dissatisfied with the matter and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

In his eyes, although this person would be killed, there was no need to take any further actions. Just pay a few dollars to finish the matter. As for the other requests made by the dwarf, just refuse them directly.

"This is a small matter that Honglu Temple negotiated with him. Zou Qing, you have served in Fujian for many years and have known foreigners, especially Westerners, more than ordinary people. How do you view this country in the Netherlands?"

Zhu Youjian did not intend to compensate the two Spanish people who were killed for any money, but after considering it, he felt that such diplomatic incidents need to be handled with caution. If one is improperly dealt with, it will leave other countries with the impression that the Ming Dynasty is too arrogant and unreasonable, which will be detrimental to the overall image of the Ming Dynasty in the outside world.

In the glorious Ming Dynasty, no matter what it does, it must have the style of a great country. Those who disobey or provocate, just send troops to go out and destroy them openly, and there is no need to lose points in such minor matters.

"I have reported to the emperor that the old ministers did hear about many trivial matters of Western merchants in Fujian, especially the Netherlands, because their large ships and sails galloped on various oceans and had the most frequent exchanges with other countries.

I have heard that the Netherlands has a small territory, and its land may be as different as the capital, with a population of about one and a half million. In terms of its size, it cannot be compared with our Emperor Ming. In fact, it is a small Western barbarian country.

But this is not the case!

According to my reports, the Netherlands is composed of several different ethnic groups. Although its country is small, its population is small, and its establishment is short. However, no matter men, women, young and old, they are all diligent and thrifty as honored and shamed by extravagance and laziness. Therefore, the national establishment of this country is booming, just like the rising sun, its high spirit is lamenting!

As far as I know, the Netherlands has superb technology in many aspects such as work, astronomy, agriculture, textiles, and clothing. Especially in shipbuilding, its country is the leader, and most of the merchant ships traveling to and from the South and the East are owned by the Netherlands.

To be honest, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, if Jing Haibo had not had the advantage of the right time, place and people, and relying on many small boats to launch a bite offensive against his eight giant ships, the final outcome would be unpredictable. Even so, the only two giant ships under Jing Haibo had sunk their cannons, and the casualties were several times more numerous!

By the way, the old minister remembered something. It is said that the Netherlands is the only country in power in the world. Before our dynasty, Longwan, it was a vassal state of the Great Buddha Langji. Later, for some reason, it turned against the Great Buddha Langji and became independent. This time, I don’t know why the two countries actually visited each other. This is really surprising!”

After hearing Zhu Youjian's inquiry, Zou Weilian opened up and talked about what he knew about the Netherlands. Zhu Youjian and Chen Qiyu were both focused and thought while listening.

"In this way, the people of the Netherlands are very similar to those of our Emperor Ming, and their thrifty and thrifty work are really amazing!"

After listening to Zou Weilian's speech, Chen Qiyu stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

"I suddenly made a plan when I heard what Zou Qing said!"
