In the original history, the Netherlands, that is, the Netherlands, should have been the most powerful maritime colonial overlord of this period, and therefore he was also awarded the title of a maritime coachman in later generations.

In this life, the Dutch still played the role of a coachman on the sea, but they were just a coachman working for the Ming Dynasty.

To be precise, the Dutch acted as compradors and brought Ming Dynasty goods to all parts of the world for trade.

Because after the Netherlands was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao formulated a strategy for financialization in the Netherlands.

The Ming Dynasty established securities institutions in the Netherlands, allowing local Dutch merchants to raise funds for trade, and also contributed state funds to some excellent Dutch merchants, allowing them to have enough capital to engage in global trade. However, most of the profits they brought after global trade will be divided by the Ming Dynasty in the form of dividends.

But because the Netherlands did not have its own industrial system and sufficient resources, they could only become compradors of the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed it.

Even if most of the trade profits were taken away by the Ming court, the small part of their own profits were very generous.

Therefore, the trading companies opened by the Dutch have also become global trading giants with the support of the Ming state capital.

In addition, Dutch merchants also used the money given by the Ming Dynasty to expand their business territory around the world, and many factories in Europe and the Americas became factories controlled by the Dutch.

Many Dutch merchants were so rich that they became representatives of wealth in Western Europe.

In Western Europe, many women compete to be Dutch mistresses.

Many nobles also became friends with the Dutch.

The Dutch were therefore used to living a wealthy life under the rule of the Ming Empire, and were proud to be the second-class people of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why they were second-class people was that the Dutch would actively hold their tails in front of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty and would take the initiative to be grateful, because the first governor Zhang Huangyan geniused the wealth of the Dutch in various ways, which was a gift from the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.

The Dutch naturally accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty over them, began to actively accept Sinology, speak the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin, wear Ming clothes, and sometimes learn etiquette.

Now the Dutch people do not hate the Ming people who brought them wealth, but hate the Anglo-Saxon people, namely the English people, who were on the other side of the ocean.

Because England not only did not trade with the Ming Dynasty, but also trade with the Dutch people, and even robbed the Dutch merchant ships on the Atlantic Ocean.

This made it impossible for the Dutch to use Ming Dynasty goods to expand their business territory and normal trade in England.

Therefore, when the Ming army sent troops to England, the Dutch also supported it very much.

Historically, the Netherlands and Britain during this period were hostile relations, and the dispute over global colonial interests was inextricable.

This is still the case in this life.

Because the Ming Dynasty was in the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles away from its homeland, it was impossible for it to recruit enough civilians from its own country. The civilians used now were all civilians hired by Dutch merchants from all over the Netherlands. They even used a large number of Dutch mercenaries as auxiliary soldiers, so that after occupying many towns in England, they would be the troops to stay in the towns, so as to avoid the reduction of the combat forces of the Ming Dynasty due to the need to send troops to stay in the villages.

These Dutch merchants were eager for the Ming Dynasty to conquer England.

As one of them, Dutch businessman Bascent said to Xu Bingyi, who came to the Netherlands to be responsible for the local academic affairs, when the army set out, "The King's Army will definitely win the British and the British will be able to establish the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Bingyi just smiled.

Now, with the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Netherlands for a long time, many Dutch people have begun to receive Chinese education, and many Dutch merchants can speak fluent Chinese, and even become friends with some Chinese doctors.

Bascente is no exception. It is not difficult for him to communicate with Xu Bingyi, and he is also Xu Bingwen's close friend.

Moreover, when Bascent Jean saw Xu Bingyi being depressed, he took the initiative to ask: "Is it still boring for the fact that my brother is doing a noble job in the British?

Xu Qianxue and Xu Bingyi are indeed brothers, and they are both Gu Yanwu's nephews.

However, the two brothers chose different paths because of their different thoughts. One went to England to be counted, and the other was called by his uncle to come overseas to practice as an official.

After Bascente asked, Xu Bingyi replied: "My uncle wrote me a letter saying that if possible, I should persuade him to come back! As a Chinese man, how could he be a razed official?"

After Xu Bingyi said, "I have asked someone to bring him a letter, but I don't know if he will be willing to come back."

"Of course I will be willing. This time the Ming Dynasty King's Army will make Yingyi scared, and Brother Ling will definitely understand that anyone must be sincere in obedience to the Ming Dynasty. If you want to escape, you cannot escape."

Bascent replied.

Xu Bingyi nodded.

...

"What did you say? The Eastern fleet is crossing the North Sea and coming to my British Empire?!"

Charles II also learned that the Ming army had come to attack him in England, and was greatly shocked.

James, Duke of York, glanced at Charles I seriously and thought to himself: "What's the best surprise? I have reminded you that you should find a way to increase military expenditure and prepare for the revenge of the Ming army. After all, both Folangji and Rakshasa Kingdom were inevitably declared to be prestigious by them."

"We should take immediate measures now to recruit all the civilian ships and recruit civilian ships, not to compete with the steam ships of the Ming army, but to transfer important London materials. We obviously cannot defeat the Ming army at sea."

James said at this time.

Charles II glanced at Xu Qianxue.

Xu Qianxue, who was usually talking nonsense, had no idea at this time, and he did not expect that the Ming Congress would really extend the military front to Great Britain.

Looking at the green grass, the houses are swaying, and the quiet and warm English world, he always feels that this is an isolated utopia and there will be no external forces to disturb them.

But one reality that Xu Qianxue has to face now is that this is not a utopia, and the royal army of the Ming Dynasty can still reach here.

This made Xu Qianxue feel powerless for a moment.

Seeing that Xu Qianxue didn't speak, Charles II had to adopt James' advice and said, "Then prepare for Congress. At that time, you will propose a bill to the members of parliament to recruit people's ships in wartime."

James was speechless.

"When is it now? We must first prepare for Congress and discuss with the members of the parliament. Isn't this delay?! You just issue the king's order! If you don't listen, you will be directly killed for the crime of trashing the country!"

James said.

"Without passing Congress, ships cannot be recruited."

Charles II said.

James nodded helplessly after hearing this.

So, Charles II issued another order to convene Congress.

Almost all members of Congress participated in Congress this time.

Because they almost all knew about the Ming army coming to attack the British mainland.
