"The Ming people in Dongpu have surrendered to the Ming court of Luzon. It is too late to add the title of Ming generals such as Chen Shangchuan." A Guangnan retainer stood up and rejected.

"Sir, it's not too late to fix the problem of the sheep." Ruan Youjing smiled and said to Ruan Phuc.

"Now Dongpu and Midi both surrendered to the Luzon Ming court, but the Luzon Ming court came from afar and was beyond the reach of Dongpu and other places. If Guangnan was granted the title of Ming generals such as Chen Shangchuan, it would definitely make the Ming generals in both places rebellious." Ruan Youjing said.

"Since the Ming people have surrendered to the Ming court of Luzon, why? If we add him as a governor, he will resist the Ming court." Ruan Phucshun looked at Ruan Youjing with disdain.

"Sir, I have personally led my troops into Dongpu. I have some understanding of these Ming people. I believe that the action of surrendering to the Luzon Ming court was just the helplessness of Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others. After all, Guangnan betrayed the Ming people of Dongpu, and the Zhenla foreign army was eyeing them. They had no choice but to surrender to the Ming court of Luzon. As long as we signal to the Ming people in Dongpu Meidi and other places, then those Ming generals who were dissatisfied with surrendering to the Luzon Ming court would rise up and resist the Ming army."

"Yes, use the title of governor to alienate Dongpu and Luzon Ming court." After hearing Ruan Youjing's plan, Ruan Phuc could not help but nodded in agreement.

"These Ming people were all those who fled to Guangnan when they failed to fight against the Qing Dynasty. I personally set a piece of land for them to recuperate. I believe that many Ming generals are still grateful to Guangnan, or not."

Nguyen Phuc immediately ordered the sent envoys to go to Higashiura and Midi and became the Ming generals.

When the envoys from Guangnan headed south to Dongpu, Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others had already followed Du Li's naval warship to Luzon Island.

However, Xiao Wu did not return to Luzon and instead sat in Meidihaikou and led the Navy to monitor the Ming people in both places.

As the Ming court occupied Luzon, a large number of Chinese businessmen began to rely on the Luzon Ming court, and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce grew stronger.

When the merchant ship owners of Luhai and Minghai worked hard to establish a waterway for the exchanges between the Ming court of Luzon and Dongpu and sent merchant fleets across the South China Sea, the merchant ships of the distant sea had already traveled across the ocean to Batavia.

"I thought Manila was already the first city in Nanyang, but I didn't expect that this Dutch Batavia was so prosperous." After the long-sea merchant ship owner Zhao Tianming entered the Batavia city, he walked around the city under the leadership of the local Chinese leader Kabidan (a kind of official position), and couldn't help but praise him.

Unlike the Spanish's several massacres and bloody rule of the Chinese on Luzon Island.

The Dutch implemented a very open and inclusive policy towards the Chinese in Batavia.

In Batavia City, the local Dutch governor was even willing to give the Chinese certain rights.

The Kabidan next to Zhao Tianming is the leader who manages the Chinese in Batavia.

The merchants from the sea looked at the colonists' city with surprise. The huge town not only had tree-lined streets but also canals, and countless merchant ships passed by the river.

Several huge castles stood, and the copper cannons with luster were standing majestic. The pitch-black muzzles were aimed at the sea not far away, shocking those bad intentions.

"Of course, they are as clean and tidy as any town in the Netherlands, although there are not so many beautiful houses." said a Dutch Street with a proud face.

"Batavia, the queen of the East." Anderson couldn't help but praise him when he looked at the beautiful city.

As an employee of the East India Company's establishment in the Rawag Trading Hall, Anderson should have stayed in Rawag City.

However, during this period, Yuanhai planned to open a route to trade in Batavia.

Zhao Tianming invited Anderson, who had a good relationship with the Sihai, to go to Batavia for trade.

"Haha, Anderson, the Batavia you see in your eyes was built by us Mingren from afar and built for you Europa." The merchant ship owner Zhao Tianming was proficient in English. Hearing Anderson's praise, he nodded with a smile.

The establishment of Batavia City, such as the excavation of canals, the construction of city walls and houses, was all led by famous Chinese leaders Yang Kun and Pan Mingyan.

In 1602, the Dutch United East India Company was established and began to develop trade with the East. The final choice of the Dutch in the early 17th century for the appropriate location of the East India Company's base camp depends on two considerations: First, it must be close to one of the two seaways for east-west transportation (the Strait of Malacca and the Sunda Strait).

Secondly, it must be a place where Chinese sailboats can easily reach. After all, Westerners who come to the East mainly do business with China, and the Dutch are not surprised.

This led to the Dutch establishing the city of Batavia near the ruins of the Jakarta Turkish emirates' residential area in 1619, and the Turkish emirates who originally lived here were driven out of Jakarta and went to Banten.

In the end, Banten, who was dissatisfied with the Englishmen to resist, but unfortunately, he failed in the end due to the departure of the English warship.

After 1620, a large number of Nanyang Chinese businessmen and workers went to Batavia City and began to build the city brick by brick.

It can be said that this giant city in Nanyang was built on the blood and sweat of Nanyang Chinese workers.

"Yes, you Chinese have always been friends with us Dutch people. It's a pity that your country was conquered by the stupid and barbaric Tartars." The Dutch street chief shook his head and said.

The long-sea merchants present looked a little embarrassed, which obviously hurt their hearts.

"Haha, now my Ming people have established their own Ming regime on Luzon, and there is hope of resuming the Ming Dynasty." Anderson said in Chinese.

He didn't care about the so-called anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, but was just appeaseing these Luzon Ming people.

"Yes, let's tell you that my Luzon Ming court has become famous all over the world, and even the Chinese in Annan have surrendered one after another." Zhao Tianming said with a smile.

What he said was naturally that Chen Shangchuan sent Chen Ande to Rawag for help.

"Then I sincerely wish you success."

"After all, we, the Netherlands, had also encountered the cruel rule of the Spanish. In the end, we defeated the Spanish with our fearless spirit and the navy warship." The Dutch street chief also sincerely wished.

Soon, Yuanhai and his group were invited by Kapitan to rest in the mansion.

"I really didn't expect that there were thousands of Chinese merchants living here in Batavia City." When Jiabidan told Zhao Tianming that there were actually two thousand Han people in Batavia City, Zhao Tianming sighed.

Zhao Tianming was so happy that Batavia could actually live in so many Chinese businessmen.

"When your Ming court occupied Luzon and fought with the Spanish, the Chinese in Batavia were very panicked." Kapitan poured a bowl of black tea for Zhao Tianming and spoke.
