A few days later, Redman spent a lot of money to invite the middleman to come forward.

By sending a letter, I expressed my meaning to Zhu Zilong. Boxes of gifts are naturally indispensable appetizers. At the back, I mentioned it secretly that I established a small vassal state here and occupied some territory, which was agreed by the locals.

As long as the Ming Dynasty can recognize this, half of the future business and HNA routes can be given out, and the others can also be shared.

If there are still disputes, you can discuss it slowly according to international practices.

Obviously, Zhu Zilong's powerful strategy played a great role, otherwise it would have allowed the Dutch to make such a huge concession without any effort.

However, this obviously did not achieve Zhu Zilong's expected goal.

So, facing such a letter.

Zhu Zilong asked the middleman to go back a few words: "International practices? Who has the final say in this international practice? A country with the size of a palm in the Netherlands is also embarrassed to talk to the Ming Dynasty about international practices?

I went back and told Redman that this was the sea area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the South China Sea was also the vassal states. Speaking of the vassal states, all the countries around the Ming Dynasty were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, which is an iron rule that has existed since ancient times.

It is not an international practice to discuss people who come uninvited and refuse to leave. Please inform them next time that within a month, all the Dutch people will leave here, and even stay in Taiwan, will have to give up."

Zhu Zilong's reply was sent back to Redman's villa, and he was shocked and blurted out: "My God, these requests are impossible!"

His reaction was sent back to Zhu Zilong, and Zhu Zilong once again acted as a direct person to pass the message.

"There is nothing impossible in this world. You are kind to the first and then the army. You are kind to you. If you don't leave, let the cannon speak. Anyway, the Dutch have always believed that the truth is only within the range of the cannon. Surprisingly, my motto has always been this."

The truth is only within the range of the cannon. Zhu Zilong likes to think about such a good match, but he doesn't say it much. If you finally have the chance to say such a super pretend thirteen words loudly in front of foreigners!

The news reached Redman, and he was stunned.

In fact, it’s not his fault for this. Even if he pays attention to the Ming Dynasty, his butt determines his thoughts. Besides, he is not a high-level official in the Netherlands. He has to bear certain responsibilities to the country if he can say the previous words himself.

No matter how big the concession is, even if he is willing, people in the Netherlands will never agree to such a contract.

Only by experiencing a few confrontations between iron and blood can we see clearly in the face of reality, whose cannon can be further improved. At that time, if we can still have a peace talk, the two sides can sit down and have a good talk.

Before this, no matter how much you say anything, the possibility of reaching a negotiation is almost extremely small.

This is the national condition and human nature!

Even if Zhu Zilong was replaced, from their perspective, he could only do this. Back then, even if he was willing to recruit the heroes of Liangshan, he would have to fight with the court a few times first. Only after winning would he feel that he would be proud of the recruitment.

That's the reason!

-

In fact, Zhu Zilong believed that even if he started a war, it would probably be solved in minutes, and these Dutch people in Nanyang were killed.

As for the support from the Netherlands thousands of miles away, to be honest, Zhu Zilong does not think that they have the ability to attack on a large scale at this point in time.

So, this time I was training troops at best.

At this time, the British were not the boss of Europe, but they already had the ability to challenge the Netherlands.

Just like a lion and a tiger, it is time before the war begins. At such a critical moment, the Dutch would not give up the dispute over interests and status in the West for the sake of the Ming Dynasty (which was not a military focus) and go here to make nonsense.

The reason Zhu Zilong used seems domineering, but it is reasonable to declare it to the outside world.

That is the territorial dispute, because the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty should have always been owned and managed by the Ming Dynasty.

This is based on history, and cannot be distinguished or occupied.

This principle makes sense in any country. In this way, even if the small-scale Dutch people here are educated, the news will probably give people the impression that they will still be.

In the Ming Dynasty, the livestock was still harmless, so it was more important to keep the country closed and play with it.

Haha, but, just like the New China in later generations, the country of rabbit dressed up with harmless livestock is the country that poses the greatest threat to the US imperialists.

Similarly, the Ming Dynasty, which was dressed up with harmless livestock, was the country that poses the greatest threat to the Western countries.

Indirectly, Zhu Zilong has gone to the west to make money while transporting silk, porcelain, tea, and other items. He also brought many big tobacco leaves (you know) in the past, according to Zhu Zilong's instructions.

Even if these poisonous goods are sold at almost free delivery or are sold in hot-selling goods, they must be kept in Western countries!

Not only that, we should also promote the benefits of this thing more.

The blessings of the Romans, Zhu Zilong's people have been doing business with foreigners over the years. It is actually not difficult to do this and do something that harbors evil intentions.

Poppy oil and poppy seeds, this plant, was widely planted as early as ancient Greece and Roman times because of its ornamental value.

Until the 21st century, poppy seeds can be bought in the most common supermarkets in Western countries, and are generally used as additives for pastries like sesame. In our country, people have also noticed their ornamental value and medicinal value for a long time, and many ancient medical techniques have also recorded this thing!

But why did its drug function not begin to be developed until the 19th century?

Tell it, you may be shocked.

Because some of this is because of the Chinese, who are the reasons for their own death. They have a huge effect on taking the lead!

The ancestor of drugs is opium. Humans' extensive drug use began with opium consumption. Opium evolved from drugs to drugs was the creation of the Chinese.

Poppy is native to a wide range of areas from Southern Europe, West Asia to South Asia, and naturally it is easy to be introduced to China. As recorded in writing, poppy (usually referring to opium poppy) was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty and was brought by Persian merchants.

So, why did Persian merchants bring poppy?

It's very simple, this is a treasure that can be sold in China.

What kind of baby is it? It can cure diseases and is a good medicine.

In the world compiled by Su Jing of the Tang Dynasty, the first pharmacopoeia "New Materia Medica" (also known as "Tang Materia Medica") officially promulgated by the state, there was already opium, which was called "Iron Leaf Armor" in Chinese (transliteration of the medicine prescription name theriak).

All the drug use waves are rooted in a riot in Taiwan nearly 300 years ago, a farmer named Zhu Yigui who could drive ducks.

After the early 19th century, China had increasingly strong voices of opposition to drug use, but the more it was opposing, the more it became more rampant, so that it had to meet consumer demand through large-scale smuggling, which eventually triggered the Opium War that completely changed the direction of history.

Zhu Zilong knew very well that Westerners do not have large groups of drug users, only few of them are currently not available.

For this reason, even let the dead soldiers be granted high-ranking officials and open tobacco shops in the West. To engage in economic cooperation with the Ming Dynasty, we must keep up with the customs of the Ming Dynasty.

When talking about anything, you have to smoke smoke together.

In short, it strangely caused a considerable wave of smoking in the West.

Such a dark-hearted plan has been started a few years ago.
