"I, Batavia, are willing to dispatch twenty warships and one thousand soldiers from our country to assist the Celestial Empire in regaining Goa."

After the Dutch Batavia Governor Abukui came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he was even more willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. He also knew that the Ming Dynasty was invincible now, and that the Netherlands could only gain the greatest benefits by being its best brother. Therefore, he made up his mind to dispatch thousands of troops and dozens of warships to assist the Ming Dynasty in regaining Goa.

In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to show his strength in the Netherlands to Daming, so that Daming felt that the Netherlands was a worthy brother to cooperate with.

Croner of Spain was shocked when he heard Abuquet say it. He did not expect that the Netherlands already had such strong strength.

You should know that Spain only has two Manila sailing boats in Manila. Although their sailing boats are more than 500 tons, they cannot compare with the current Netherlands.

Croner even felt that the Netherlands was bragging. Except for a super empire like the Ming Dynasty, who could dispatch dozens of warships at once?

But Croner dared not disbelief. He felt that Abukui would not lie in front of His Ming Emperor and gave the Ming Empire a reason to deal with him in the Netherlands.

In fact, due to the economic recession and being involved in the 30 Years of Europe's War, Spain is indeed inferior to the newly-resurfaced Netherlands in overseas colonial expansion.

Although the Netherlands has a small territory, it is now the time to expand rapidly overseas and is the main role in seizing colonies everywhere.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have competed with Portugal for Haojing a few years ago and tried to occupy Penghu, which was in Ming Dynasty, but was later driven away by the Ming Dynasty's official army and transferred to Taiwan.

Although the Netherlands has lost its colony in Taiwan, its headquarters in Batavia is still there and it is still the strongest force among the Western wings.

Croner has to admit that his Spain really doesn't seem to be comparable to the Netherlands now.

But Croner didn't want to be compared by the Dutch in front of the Ming Emperor, which made the Ming Empire feel that they were not worthy of cooperation among the Western countries, so they were despised by the Ming Emperor, and even made the Netherlands despise their own Spain.

"Very good! It's the Netherlands after all, I didn't disappoint."

Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing Abukui's words at this time.

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked Croner: "How many troops and warships Spain plans to deploy?"

Croner did not answer.

Zhu Youxiao was so embarrassed: "Hmm?!"

For a moment, Croner didn't know what to do.

He also wanted to directly say that he would send more than 20 warships and thousands of soldiers from his own country to participate in the war.

However, he had to admit that his Manila did not have this strength yet.

Seeing that Croner had not expressed his position to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for a long time, he smiled proudly. He knew that Spain's military strength in Manila was definitely not as good as his Dutch military strength in Batavia, otherwise Croner would not have been silent for so long.

"Maybe after we have determined the trade partnership with Daming, the Netherlands can strive for the Ming Empire not to interfere with the affairs between the Netherlands and Spain. At that time, the Netherlands can directly annex Manila, Spain, and then achieve the purpose of the foreign merchant ships on the entire Eastern route! "

Abukui thought to himself.

Zhu Youxiao naturally saw Croner's dilemma.

But he did not expose it, but just stood up as if he pretended to be angry, waved his sleeves and said, "Retreat!"

So, the court officials of the Ming Dynasty began to shout, "I will leave."

And Croner and others had to retreat.

In fact, it was not just Croner who was surprised by the strength shown in the Netherlands.

The central officials of the Ming Dynasty were also surprised by the strength shown by the Netherlands.

And, not just for the Netherlands.

In the past, the Western worlds that the Ming Dynasty came into contact with were all missionaries. The missionaries were sent by the church and people from the cultural field. They did not have a good understanding of the military politics of their own country and had no interest in revealing them to the Ming court.

Now this is the first time that senior officials from Western foreign countries have come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to communicate with the emperors and central officials of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the guidance and questioning of Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Only the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty learned more about the land area of ​​Western countries, but they were so small that they dominated and plundered wealth in so many places around the world.

Especially when the emperor took the newly revised "Complete Map of Kunyu Kingdom" by the Hanlin Academy and asked Abukui and Kroner about some Western affairs, they stood aside and felt more directly that a Western country with a local area and population far less than that of the Ming Dynasty could occupy so many maritime interests!

This was a great impact on many civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who were from inland civilian gentry.

After returning home, Yuan Keli said to his friend Jiang Dejing, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites: "A small Western country with a size far less than that of a governor of our dynasty and a population of less than 100,000 miles away, has thousands of troops and dozens of warships near our Ming Dynasty, and also controls global routes. The key is that there are more than one such Western country, which is really incredible! If it were not for what you saw and heard with your own eyes, Yuan

I really can't believe that compared to these, fighting with the Fang Party does seem a bit petty! No wonder Your Majesty doesn't let us focus on fighting Fang Chengzhe, and no wonder Your Majesty and Xu Ge Lao, who knows the Western Paradise best, did not take the disputes in the court seriously, but only care about the number of warships, the size of the navy, and the power of artillery. It is because they have never taken the Donglin Party, Fang Party, and Liaodong Military Town seriously in China. It is because Yuan has a shallow understanding!"

Then, Yuan Keli smiled at Jiang Dejing and said, "Mr. Chiang once advised me to open my eyes to see the world, but not to be limited to China. Yuan said at that time that he could be able to be able to be safe in China. Now it seems that I am not as far as you Fujian people can see! If I had not learned about the affairs of the Western countries from these two Western governors this time, if the court had not experienced the income brought by the Hai Trade Chase, I would have been foolish."

Yuan Keli is now beginning to take the initiative to realize that his previous situation is smaller.

"The Master of the Pavilion is too modest. Although the junior official is from Fujian and has dealt with Western countries, he has also learned a little about the Thais. However, it is the first time that these small Western countries can form such a trend by relying on maritime trade. Now, it is still your Majesty's wise and illuminated candlelight. It seems that he has known the differences between the Western countries for a long time. Now I want to know in detail. Your Majesty's power is really surprising to me."

Jiang Dejing replied.

Yuan Keli nodded: "Your Majesty's degree of power is indeed unpredictable. Perhaps as Zi Zhen can understand the consciousness of the gods today, he has been extraordinary from ordinary emperors since he ascended the throne. Now all kinds of signs show that it seems that it is not us who are guiding Your Majesty to become a more outstanding king, but Your Majesty is guiding us to become more capable ministers."

After hearing this, Jiang Dejing laughed: "That's exactly what he said! The following officials' opinions: Now Yuan Fu is in charge of the cabinet, and his achievements in national affairs can be far beyond Zhang Jiangling in the past. It is not because Yuan Fu is really talented in the prime minister, but because of his Majesty's good teachings."

"That's right!"

Yuan Keli replied, "The other party was the chief assistant when he was in the temple for many years. He was mediocre and had a living place. Even if he proposed one or two national policies, he was just scratching his head. Now he can achieve his achievements today, all depends on his Majesty's guidance! How lucky is my Ming Dynasty, I have this emperor, and I believe that I have also read the latest savings data given by the Ming Bank. Most of the depositors in my Ming Dynasty have saved up hundreds of silver coins!"

"I know! We are still discussing. According to this number, even if the people in the world are unemployed for five years, they can still live on this savings!"

Jiang Dejing smiled.

"Yes, looking at all dynasties, few people can save people so much wealth! My emperor's achievements are comparable to those of Emperor Wen of Han!"
