    "According to statistics, since the emperor of China opened the port, the price of Chinese goods going to sea has become lower and lower. This is also due to the effective rule of the emperor of China. He rectified the Chinese currency, stabilized the Chinese commercial tax, and cleared the  Corrupt officials and gangsters. There are more and more maritime merchants in China, and they can get goods at a lower price than us. When Zheng¡¯s pirates were incorporated by the Chinese emperor, although the port tariffs increased, they no longer paid protection fees to pirates.  The profit margins of the merchants have been greatly improved"

    "Gentlemen, taking into account the consumption of goods purchased in Guangdong and the loss of ships, the overall cost of Dutch merchant ships going to Guangdong to purchase goods in person is at least 10% higher than waiting for Chinese merchants to ship them directly in BataviaTherefore, I propose,  The merchant ships of the East India Company no longer go to China to do business in person. Of course, the Japanese trade must be preserved.¡±

    "In the future, the East India Company can retain these three trade routes in the Far East"

    "Article 1, Chinese merchants shipped goods to Batavia, and the East India Company shipped goods back to Europe from Batavia."

    "Article 2, Japan-Zelandia-Vietnam-Batavia-Europe."

    "Article 3, Spice Islands - Batavia - Europe."

    As soon as the East India Company Director-General of Eastern Affairs finished speaking, Governor Anthony Van Diemen firmly opposed it. He said angrily, "Gentlemen, don't you only see that little profit? Withdrawing from China now,  Waiting for Chinese merchants to sell their goods to Batavia. After the rise of Chinese merchants, they will inevitably promote the development of the Chinese navy. At that time, we may not be able to stay in Batavia, and even the Straits of Malacca will be taken away by the Chinese!"

    Director-General Huis smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you don't understand the Chinese. The Chinese only care about their land, and they have no interest in the sea. In the eyes of the Chinese emperor and ministers, the rich Chinese mainland already has enough  Why do you have to brave the storm to venture into the dangerous ocean? In Batavia, I often heard the story of Zheng He. The Chinese official Zheng He led a huge fleet more than two hundred years ago.  All the way to Africa. But they are going to show off their force. As long as the countries are willing to pay tribute, they will not do other things. Chinese merchant ships are not suitable for oceangoing, and shipping goods to Batavia is the limit. Batavia  and Malacca, will always belong to the Netherlands."

    "No, I know Chinese people, especially Chinese businessmen," Anthony said. "Their greed and courage are no less than European adventurers. Today the Netherlands withdraws from the South China Sea, and tomorrow it will be forced to withdraw from the Far East!"

    Huis said: "Your Excellency, your worries are unnecessary."

    Anthony was so angry that he slapped the table: "No one here is more familiar with the Far East than me. You are doing a stupid thing! In order to reduce the cost by 10%, you even gave up the business route from China to Batavia!"

    Anthony, the governor of Batavia, was born as a businessman, and he was an unsuccessful businessman.

    He is more suitable to be at the helm!

    He united Chinese businessmen and Malay natives, defeated the Sudanese army, occupied Batavia with fewer victories, and built the city of Batavia with his own hands.  Together, they took a group of natives and captured Sri Lanka and Malacca from Portugal.  Through diplomacy and war, the governor of Goa and King Fars were forced to sue for peace, and obtained the monopoly rights of local peppers, spices and other commodities.

    He also started the trade between Japan and Vietnam.

    He sent an expedition fleet and discovered strange lands such as the New Southwest, the North Coast of Australia, Tonga, and Fiji.

    He even formulated the "Batavian Code" himself, opened Latin schools, Catholic churches, hospitals, and orphanages everywhere, and carried out cultural colonization while colonizing by force.

    Such a far-sighted and overall-looking governor, he single-handedly created a stable situation in the Far East for the Dutch East India Company.

    However, after the situation stabilized, there were more and more obstacles, and it was very likely that the Dutch headquarters did it on purpose!

    Huis did not quarrel with Anthony, but only said: "Let's vote with a show of hands. Those who agree with the proposal, please raise your hand."

    More than 80% of the council members raised their hands in favor.

    Huis looked at Anthony: "Your Excellency, do you need another vote?"

    Anthony said: "I have voted against in the name of the governor of Batavia! The result of the vote of the council cannot be passed under the objection of the governor. It needs to be taken back to the Netherlands and submitted to the seventeen-member meeting for voting."

    "Of course, this is the governor's power, and the proposal will be brought back to the Netherlands soon." Huis smiled.

    Dominate East Asia?

    Hehe, the board of directors of the Dutch headquarters has no interest in this.  The gentlemen of the seventeen-member meeting only need to be responsible to the majority of shareholders and to the investors of the stock exchange.

    ? Reduce the total cost of shipping by a full 10%,?Latecomers to re-immigration.  In order to restore the colony, Spain tried every means to invite Chinese merchants back, and even gave various tax incentives at the beginning.

    Wan Zhaoan took his father-in-law's family and the Chinese guys in the store, and soon came to the street with his luggage.

    The streets were already in chaos, and a large number of Chinese civilians fled around.

    Seeing that there was no solution, Wan Zhaoan suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted, "Is there a Datong army? Datong army gather!"

    After shouting for a long time, no one responded.

    Wan Zhaoan could only drag his wife along with his father-in-law's family to continue fleeing.

    He is a disabled veteran, with his left middle finger and ring finger broken.  He could have been assigned to be a policeman, but he came to the Philippines to make a living because there was a child relationship here.

    Wan Zhaoan ran for a certain distance, the shelling gradually stopped, and the Chinese fleeing in front suddenly ran back.

    "There are red-haired soldiers ahead, run back quickly!"

    "The firecracker is powerful, you can't rush!"

    ""

    Not long after, a large number of Chinese fled in another direction.

    The Chinese settlement was surrounded by several sides, but the number of Spanish soldiers was not enough, so Japanese mercenaries and local native soldiers were brought in to make up the number.

    The local native soldiers are weak chickens, and they are very active in massacring civilians, but they will flee when encountering fierce battles.

    Thousands of Chinese rushed towards the native soldiers together, and they could only break out from here.

    But soon, the Chinese civilians at the entrance of the alley were overwhelmed and ran back one after another. The entrance of the alley was completely blocked.

    "It's on fire, it's on fire!"

    The Spaniards even set fire, trying to burn all the settlements and the Chinese to death.

    Seeing the fire on all sides, these Chinese finally went all out and rushed forward with the butcher's knife of the native soldiers.  The native soldiers were frightened instead, let go of the alley, turned around and fled.

    Wan Zhaoan squeezed out of the street with the crowd. At this time, Spanish soldiers and Japanese mercenaries were already chasing and killing them from both sides.

    The Chinese jumped down the Bashi River one after another, crossed the river and fled to the swampy area further north.

    The Spanish officers chased them down on horseback, and slashed at the last Chinese who escaped.  The native soldiers pulled their bows and shot arrows into the crowd of Chinese.  The Japanese mercenaries raised their Japanese swords and chased them all the way.

    After more than 3,000 people died, the Chinese finally rushed into the woods.

    Regardless of men, women, or children, they picked up branches and stones to make weapons, and then helped the old and the young to go to the swamp.

    In the massacre 40 years ago, more than 400 Chinese also fled to this swamp.  Facing the pursuers, they collectively jumped into the swamp to commit suicide, unwilling to be caught by the Spaniards.

    Wan Zhaoan rushed to the crowd and shouted: "I am a soldier of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Regiment, and 6th Battalion of the 7th Division of the Datong Army. I have served as a soldier for His Majesty the Emperor of Datong. Those who trust me will obey my orders. Now, whoever  Have you brought a rope? Come ten people and follow me into the swamp. Tie your waist with a rope and pull it out if you sink in. No one is allowed to wander around. All line up and grab the clothes of the compatriots in front! Go deep into the swamp and get out of it.  After chasing troops, all supplies will be distributed uniformly!?
