Chapter 1065 The Dutch was expelled from the South China Sea

(1065)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Half a month after Zhang Zhun arrived in Brunei, the Spanish envoy rushed to Brunei. The Hu Ben Navy successively captured Ji'ding and Brunei, which was a mixed problem for the Spaniards. The advantage was that the strength of the Dutch, the strong enemy, was weakened again. In the future, the Spanish and the Dutch would no longer need to be afraid of the other party's strength.

The disadvantage is that the front door drives the tiger into the back door, and the Dutch were driven away, but the more powerful Hu Ben Navy came. In the future, the existence of the Hu Ben Navy has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Spanish senior management in Manila, after half a month of serious consideration, finally decided to send a formal envoy to the Hu Ben Army.

Compared with the Dutch, the development prospects of the Hu Ben Navy made the Spaniard even more worried. No matter how powerful the Dutch were, its foundation was still in Europe and the North Atlantic. To be precise, everyone's competition in the Far East has nothing to do with the foundation of the country, only a matter of interests. However, the Hu Ben Navy is different.

Nanyang is just under the eyes of the Chinese Empire. According to ordinary people's ideas, the Hu Ben Army will definitely place Nanyang into the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire. North Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other places have been controlled by the Chinese Empire. Nanyang is definitely no exception. It is conceivable that if the Spaniards want to continue to exist in Nanyang and continue to obtain profits from the trade in Nanyang, it is unimaginable if they do not get the support of the Hu Ben Army.

The Spanish envoy was named Capdwella, who was the special envoy of Perotta, the governor of Maria in Spain. After arriving in Brunei, Capdwella asked to see Zhang Zhun. However, Wang Shide politely told him that the emperor of the Chinese Empire could not see him for the time being. There was no way, Capdwella could only wait for a while. Finally, he did not wait long. Three days later, Zhang Zhun received Capdwella.

"Mr. Special Envoy, please."

Zhang Zhun made a seating position.

Capdwella held the hat, bent down to salute, and then sat down straight. From his posture, Zhang Zhun could see that the other party was a standard soldier. The identity of his messenger seemed to have a special meaning! Of course, Zhang Zhun would not think that the Spaniards came to declare war on him. In fact, after the Hu Ben Navy entered Nanyang, the smart Spaniards had already withdrawn their fleet back to the Port of Manila.

From this action, we can see that the Spanish are currently thinking of protecting the trade rights of the South China Sea, rather than seizing more strongholds. It has to be said that the Spanish are still very self-aware. Such actions can greatly gain the favor of the Tiger Army. In the future trade in South China Sea, there will definitely be a spoil for them.

After sitting down, Capdvilla was in a little nervous and uneasy, and a little worried about gains and losses. He knew that the topic he was going to talk to Zhang Zhun today was a bit embarrassed and a little embarrassed. However, it would not be possible to not talk about it. Even if it was not open and honest, it would not be possible. The Spanish eagerly wanted to know where the bottom line of the Hu Ben Army was?

Zhang Zhun saw the other party's nervousness and uneasiness, and said with a smile: "Governor Perotta does not need to have any concerns. Isn't our business done well?"

Capdwella said respectfully: "This requires thanks to His Majesty the Emperor for his generosity."

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "If the envoy is willing, you might as well convey my meaning to the Dutch. As long as the Dutch retreats from the Far East and west of the Cape of Good Hope, they and I can also become friends."

Capdvilla thought to himself, if you want the Dutch to withdraw from the Far East and ask the Dutch to give up this piece of fat, how can such a good thing be like this? The Dutch profits in the Far East are millions of pounds every year, which is a heavy treasure pot! It would be strange if the Dutch were willing to give up. If the Spanish really conveyed Zhang Zhun’s meaning to the Dutch, maybe it would be believed by the Dutch that the Spanish and the Tiger Army had colluded together.

Of course, the Spanish were not completely unwilling to convey such words to Zhang Zhun. However, the Spanish also had conditions. He could not make a formal promise until these conditions were met. However, Capdwell's thoughts were really difficult to express. The main reason was of course that the Spanish were inaccurate. How big was Zhang Zhun's appetite? Should the Chinese Empire dominate the entire Far East Ocean?

If the Chinese Empire really wanted to dominate the entire Nanyang, if all the Dutch were driven away, the Spanish would soon be finished. The Spanish still understood the basic path of losing their lips and cold teeth. What they most hoped to see was the balance of various forces in Nanyang. Only in this way can the Spanish take the greatest benefits.

Capdwella was silent for a moment and said tactfully: "Dear Emperor, we are willing to serve you. But what if the Dutch refused to leave?"

Zhang Zhun turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window and said lightly: "I think they will be willing."

Capdwella followed Zhang Zhun's gaze and looked out the window with a slightly strange expression. Finally, he couldn't help but take a sip of air conditioning and wisely retracted everything he wanted to say. Because what he saw was a dense warship. Zhang Zhun didn't say anything, these warships themselves were the most powerful persuasive power.

The number of Tiger Ben Army warships anchored in the Brunei military port is at least hundreds, of which there are at least fifty super-large warships. With such a naval force, it is like a hammer smashing an egg. The consequences can be imagined. Not to mention that the Dutch have lost a main fleet, even if the two main fleets are all complete, I am afraid they are not the opponent of the Tiger Ben Army Navy!

"The terrible Zhang Zhun!

"The terrible Tiger Army Navy!"

Capdvira had to sigh helplessly and talk to herself secretly. He flew to the ground and clearly that the Dutch could not withstand this time. According to normal thinking, it was absolutely impossible for Batavia to take action to resist with force.

The so-called "trees fall and money scatters, and walls fall and people push them. When the Dutch loses, the British immediately attacks the Dutch merchant fleet. Almost 60% of the merchant ships returning to the Netherlands from the New World were robbed by British pirates. The Dutch's maritime trade was challenged unprecedentedly. The Dutch now must concentrate all the main naval forces and first protect their interests in the Atlantic Ocean.

In the Far East, even if there are major losses, the Netherlands will not perish. However, if the interests in the North Atlantic are lost, the Netherlands will be in danger of perishing the country. There is unconfirmed news that after the Hu Ben Navy controlled Brunei, the 13th Dutch Navy led by Phil Crow had left Batavia and returned to the Atlantic.

What does this mean? It means that the Dutch have been forced to give up their interests in the Far East. It means that the Dutch in the Far East have admitted that they are not opponents of the Tiger Army in military terms. It means that they hope to resolve the interests disputes in the South China Sea through peaceful means.

It's funny to say that the most arrogant and domineering person in the past was the Dutch, who never agreed to negotiate interests with others at the negotiating table. Now, when the more arrogant and domineering Tiger Army Navy arrives, the Dutch actually has to make a request for negotiation, which is too ironic. In this world, the biggest fist at sea!

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I hope that a roundtable meeting will be held in Brunei, all countries can participate. We can sign a business agreement to break down military struggles and commercial trade activities. All businessmen can trade normally in Nanyang."

The Spaniards have actually received the storm for Zhang Zhun's proposal. If it were the past, the Spaniards would definitely not consider such suggestions. Because this means that other merchants will join the Spanish's dark tide route. What business can be more profitable than monopoly? Once the monopoly is broken, the good days of the Spaniards will come to an end.

But now, the Spaniards must consider this suggestion. Because, in Nanyang, in terms of military strength, the Hu Ben Navy is already the boss. Even the Dutch Navy is no match for the Hu Ben Navy, and the Spaniards are even worse. The Spaniards are still self-aware and they do not want to turn against the Hu Ben Navy.

If they did not participate in this business agreement, all Spanish merchants would be expelled from the South China Sea and would not even have the last pie. The Spanish even estimated that this was what Zhang Zhun wanted to see the most. Because, in this way, the Tiger and Ben Navy had a legitimate excuse to declare war on the Spanish.

Capdwella said: "What if the Dutch don't participate?"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Then there will be no Dutch in trade activities in Southeast Asia."

Capdvilla had no choice but to agree.

Since the Spaniards agreed, the next thing is simple.

A month later, representatives from various forces such as the Chinese Empire, North Korea, Japanese royal family, Tokugawa family, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Britain gathered in Brunei and soon signed the so-called "Brunei Business Covenant", referred to as the "Brunei Business Covenant".

The Dutch did not participate in the commercial agreement. Batavia knew very well that this commercial agreement was targeted by the Dutch, and of course they would not come to Brunei to make a fool of themselves. Zhang Zhun publicly announced that the Hu Ben Navy would expel all Dutch merchant ships on the South China Sea. If there were any disobedients, they would be attacked and might even sink directly.

The main content of the "Brunei Commercial Agreement" is to advocate trade equality among all parties and to break all trade barriers. At the same time, the Commercial Agreement also specifically stipulates that no country's navy shall seize merchant ships from other signatories in any way in the Southeast Asian countries. If this provision is violated, it will be jointly attacked by other forces.

This agreement is obviously beneficial to the Hu Ben Army. Because, with the arrival of the Hu Ben Army Navy, a large number of Chinese merchant ships will pour into the South China Sea like a tide. Relying on the huge production base and consumer group of the Huaxia Empire, all commercial trade in the South China Sea was carried out around the Huaxia Empire. In other words, the merchants of the Huaxia Empire are the dominant trade in the South China Sea, and others are just taking action.

Without the support of force, the Western powers could not defeat Chinese merchant ships like locusts in normal trade activities. Whether in terms of the variety of goods, labor costs, or cargo costs, foreign merchant ships are far from being the opponent of Chinese merchant ships. There is no doubt that all Western powers suffered a loss this time.

However, from the text of the agreement, it is extremely fair. Even the smartest person cannot find any clauses that can provide the Chinese Empire in the covenant. In the face of the powerful pressure of the Hu Ben Navy, no one is willing to challenge the authority of the Chinese Empire. Only each company can taste the ups and downs of the ups and downs of it.

...

With the signing of the "Brunei Business Agreement", commercial trade in the Nanyang region entered a new stage. The Dutch all hid in Batavia without any movement. On the sea of ​​the Nanyang, there were patrolling Tiger Army warships everywhere. Under such a background, the British, mainly Saiviara, could finally return home smoothly.

Saiviara got all the technical information of the Hu Ben Gun from Zhang Zhun as she wished. At the same time, Zhang Zhun also distributed five hundred brand new Hu Ben Gun Guns to her as samples. The promises Zhang Zhun made several years ago were finally fulfilled today.

Of course, Seviara and the others paid much more than this. The technical information of British warships and artillery, as well as the advanced knowledge of the Royal Naval Academy, were all absorbed by the Hu Ben Army. The current Hu Ben Army Navy is quite foreign.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhun allocated Saiviara a brand new King Kong ship and five brand new Dragon God ships as her private fleet. With such strength, she would no longer have any risks when she returned to the UK. The British's biggest opponent is the Dutch. Now, the Dutch forces east of the Cape of Good Hope have been severely damaged by the Tiger Ben Navy and have no ability to cause trouble at all.

At the port of Brunei, all the British were ready to go. Zhang Zhun came to see him off in person. Everyone around him was very tactful and avoided him and asked him to talk to Saiviara alone. Many things that people had expected before did not happen in the end. This made many people feel that at this moment of separation, the two must have a lot to say.

Seviara said reluctantly: "I'm leaving."

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "I will give you a thousand miles away. I wish you a good trip!"

Seviara whispered: "When will you come to England?"

Zhang Zhun said leisurely: "Why are you so anxious?"

Seviara said angrily: "I want to meet you. Here is your territory, and I can't force you. However, when you arrive in the UK, it is my territory, and I must get you. You are mine, and you can't escape!"

Zhang Zhun laughed and said cheerfully: "When you say that, I am quite eager for you in the UK. I can guarantee that I will definitely go to the UK in my lifetime. However, I guess you won't be able to wait for that time."

Seviara said seriously: "I will definitely do it. If I can't wait, I will come to Dongfang to find you. At that time, you can't refuse me again! I am twenty-five now, and women can still have children at most thirty-five years old. You can calculate it yourself!"

Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, said with a staggered topic: "Send me to say hello to Cromwell."

Sevia Laxin went happily.

Chen Lingfei said with some confusion: "Master, did you let her go like that?"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "What should I do?"

Chen Lingfei said a little strangely: "I thought you would eat her."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and smiled, and suddenly said, "You want to know why I didn't attack her?"

Chen Lingfei said honestly: "I don't know."

Zhang Zhun said leisurely: "I don't like the things I have used, and others will use them again. If I eat her now and she goes back and stole it, wouldn't I be cuckolded? I am the emperor of the Chinese Empire, how could I let others cuckold me?"

Chen Lingfei spat in a low voice: "God-telling!"

...

In September of the first year of Xia Wu, the seventh batch of Dragon God Ships were launched, with a total of fifty ships.

In early October, three fleets of the Tiger Army Navy gathered in the sea near Batavia.

Thirty King Kong ships, more than one hundred Dragon God ships, and more than two hundred Sword-tooth ships were neatly arranged outside the port of Batavia. The desperate Dutch Navy had to accept the request of the Hu Ben Army to hand over Batavia and withdraw all the Dutch people from the Far East. This means that the Dutch forces in the Far East completely disappeared.

On October 10, the first year of Xiawu, the Hu Ben Navy established a stronghold in Batavia. In the same month, the Hu Ben Navy established a stronghold in Marnath, Ambonna, Sishui, and Balin, etc., and established a stronghold of the Hu Ben Army itself in the strongholds occupied by the Dutch. Finally, these strongholds were developed into towns, and a large number of migrant populations from the country arrived.

In mid-November, Stelberg, the director-general of the Dutch East India Company, left the Far East in disgrace. This marked the complete disappearance of the last Dutch in the Far East. Then, all the forces in the South China Sea retreated their navy to their own country, so as not to attract the siege of the Tiger Ben Navy.

Zhang Zhun was right. Nanyang is indeed at the doorstep of the Chinese Empire. The Hu Ben Navy can only take a month at most. However, if it were them, it would take almost a year to go back and forth. This gap in distance cannot be compensated. Instead of suffering a devastating blow from the Hu Ben Navy when a conflict occurs, it is better to take the initiative, be more crisp and wise, and leave a good impression on the Hu Ben Army.

In December, Zhang Zhun arrived in Malacca. The Portuguese had signed the "Brunei Merchant Agreement" at the Brunei Conference, and naturally would not resist the arrival of the Hu Ben Army Navy. The Portuguese actually understood that the Hu Ben Army's arrival was purely a passing by. Their goal was the distant Indian Ocean.

The Strait of Malacca is safe and the opportunity to launch an attack on the Mughal dynasty has been ripe. Zhang Zhun is about to go to Ceylon to deploy various matters to attack the Mughal dynasty.
