After signing the contract, Van der Lin watched the Chinese negotiating team leave. He let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he must be doomed, and all the money he had earned in the past six months had to be taken out when he returned to the Netherlands.
It can really be settled with money, especially after the cancellation of the Dutch deacons and the seven provinces gaining greater local autonomy.
For the Dutch East India Company, the highest organization is the Seventeen-member Conference, followed by the Seven Provinces' Ministry of Commerce.
Decades ago, the seven major business departments competed with each other, and sometimes even defeated each other. In the midst of competition and dismantling, a tacit understanding was gradually developed, and a series of unspoken rules were born, and at the same time, they cooperated with each other to strive for greater power.
For example, in the seven provincial capitals, each city has four mayors.
After the barbaric growth of the East India Company, it has already controlled the local administrative region. Three of the four mayors must be members of the Ministry of Commerce, and sometimes even all four mayors are members of the Ministry of Commerce. The twenty-eight mayors of the Dutch provinces are firmly controlled by the East India Company.
The company is the country, and the country is the company, unless the company is going to close down if it doesn't make money.
Moreover, although the East India Company offered shares, it never issued stock certificates. How much money is invested by which shareholder is all recorded in the account books of the Ministry of Commerce of each province. The account books of the provincial commercial departments are not interoperable, and only report the specific situation of shareholders, and then accept the supervision of the headquarters.
Large and small shareholders are very short-sighted. At the beginning, dividends were paid twice a year, and the dividends were distributed before the profits were calculated-directly distributed to major shareholders such as spices, and major shareholders then sold them.
After constant disputes and compromises, the dividends are finally paid out once a year, and the dividends are only divided into gold and silver, not commodities, but the dividend time is still before the balance of accounts. Such a dividend distribution model regardless of long-term goals led to a situation where the Dutch East India Company would always be heavily in debt despite huge profits.
This way of operating, once overseas interests are damaged, it is very likely to collapse directly.
Van der Lin said to Commander Van der Laan: "Take someone to help Matalan suppress the rebels, take Matalan as a vassal, and seize a spice production area. Maybe we will have less trouble after returning to the Netherlands."
Van der Laan asked: "What about Banten and the British coalition forces? They have been attacking the Matalam border and have captured several towns."
Van der Lin said: "After helping the Sultan of Mataram to restore the country, bring Banten and the Netherlands to negotiate together. The UK has few soldiers. As long as Banten withdraws its troops, the UK will have nothing to do. Ceded the two border cities of Matalam If it is given to the Banten Kingdom, the Banten Sultan will definitely be willing to accept it."
During the conversation between the two, they sold Ma Dalan, and by the way, they disgusted Britain.
Van der Lin said with a smile: "Bantan and Matalan have a feud, and it would be better if they ceded one piece, and they will have a new territorial dispute. If we continue to provoke the relationship between the two countries, we will be able to mediate from it, and we will always be invincible!"
Looking at the expansion of the Netherlands in Asia, the military often only accounts for three points, and diplomatic strategies account for seven points. Moreover, by repeating those two tricks, provoking the indigenous countries to fight each other and provoking the indigenous countries to fight for power, the sparsely populated Dutch colonists could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
On Kuang Hong's side, he left the Governor's Mansion triumphantly, and immediately announced the results of the negotiations when he arrived in the urban area. The Chinese in Batavia cheered and sent them off.
? "Supplementary Treaty to the Batavia Treaty", after negotiations between the two parties, the complete content is as follows:
First, Malacca belongs to China, but the Netherlands has the right to enter the port, and the port entry tax for Dutch merchant ships is half that of ships from other countries.
Second, the Netherlands does not need to dissolve its alliance with Aceh, but Aceh will be a vassal state of China in the future.
Third, the Netherlands gave up the exclusive right to acquire spices from Aceh, and gave up the right of first priority to acquire spices from Matalan.
Fourth, the Netherlands compensated China with a thousand taels of silver.
Fifth, the Han people in Batavia have the right to live and leave freely,
The amount of tax required to be paid is the same as that of Javanese natives.
Sixth, the Netherlands recognizes Taiwan as Chinese territory, but Dutch ships can dock in Taiwan for supplies.
Seventh, the treaty is valid for ten years.
Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Trincomalee Port.
It was originally a Portuguese colonial port, but it was seized by the Netherlands ten years ago.
A Dutch fleet came, loaded with opium and other goods, and their destination was Batavia.
The new governor, Karl Rainiers, felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the port, because there was a lot of turmoil here, and there were obviously more Dutch warships.
He recruited Kuhn, who is in charge of the local Netherlands, and asked: "Why are there more than ten warships here?"
Kuhn replied: "Malacca is being attacked, and the two warships stationed in Malacca, as well as the warships on the Indian side, are all gathered together."Are you angry? "
"Hahaha," Liu Xiangke said with a smile, "Your Majesty heard that Ju Meng was good at launching wars, so he just cursed nonsense. I think about it, His Majesty also has the intention of making progress in Nanyang, but there is no time in all aspects. You will definitely be punished. Now that you have won the battle, the loss is still small, and there may be punishment, but His Majesty likes it in his heart."
"So good, so good!" Kuang Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
Both of them are not from Jiangxi, and Kuang Hong's father, Kuang Lu, was transferred back to the capital for reuse. Now that Kuang Hong has also made great contributions, Liu Xiangke hastened to curry favor and briefed him on the situation along the way.
Don't look at Liu Xiangke, who reprimanded the foreign monarch as his grandson when he was on a mission abroad, and acted like a famous minister who was not afraid of death. In fact, this guy is used to sycophancy, while maintaining a clean and honest image, while acting as a dog's leg to important officials in the court.
After a group of people entered the city, there was a commotion in the city, and countless people stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.
Zou Zhongyi, a student of Jinling University, is standing on the side of the street with his classmates at the moment. He looked at Kuang Hong who was coming on horseback, and the many foreign envoys,
My heart surged and said: "A man should be like this. After I graduate next year, I will also be admitted as a Jinshi to become an official in the capital. I will be an official of Honglu Temple, sail a huge boat all over the world, and bring envoys from all countries to meet the Holy Son of Heaven! What about Osman, France, what Spain, England, all let their envoys go to Nanjing to face the Holy Spirit!"
