Not to mention the Governor of Batavia, even the Dutch Seventeen-member Conference is not qualified to sign the treaty on behalf of the Netherlands.
But in practice, the Dutch government chose to accept all the treaties signed by Governor Batavia. Because of these treaties, most of them are beneficial to the Netherlands.
Since all favorable treaties are recognized, unfavorable treaties must be recognized even if they are not recognized, otherwise it will give Britain, Portugal, and Spain an excuse to tear up the treaty.
Liu Hanyi and Sun D, ??the two envoys, made such a big commotion, they just wanted to sign the treaty quickly and finalize the fruits of victory.
It's safe to put it in your pocket!
Su Dingguo was called to help out with ideas. This guy has dealt with the Dutch since he was a child, and he was full of bad ideas:
"Dutch East India Company, in recent years, there has been a distinction between the local faction and the local faction. Many of the officials of the local faction are not aristocrats, and they are slowly climbed up by small staff. The forces in Southeast Asia and India are intertwined."
"The Dutch headquarters, in order to curb this phenomenon, either recalled the high-level staff to the country, or transferred the high-level staff between the colonies. The high-level staff who were transferred will marry each other, and this marriage is not known by the Dutch headquarters. Yes. Because the object of the marriage is their illegitimate child here. Young employees with potential will also be recruited as son-in-law. Son-in-law is more important than son-in-law, and is often assigned to take up important positions."
"The councilors and councilor representatives arrested by the governor belong to the local faction and often oppose the governor. This time the governor and the governor's cronies can be released, but those local councilors cannot be let go. After the governor signs the treaty, let him take the The cronies went to India. In order to protect himself, the governor must have poured dirty water on the heads of the congressmen, saying that Batavia was lost because the congressmen surrendered."
"The Dutch headquarters has been suppressing the local faction, and even no longer allows the local faction to be the governor. At that time, the headquarters is very likely to favor the governor, and the main reason for the loss of Batavia is that these congressmen surrendered. The Dutch East India Company's local Pai, the contradiction between Ken and the headquarters will become more and more serious. One day the imperial court will go to India to attack the Dutch castle, and it is estimated that the Dutch will break out their own internal strife."
After hearing these words, Liu Hanyi exchanged a glance with Sun D.
The so-called local faction has only been formed in the past ten years.
At the beginning, the environment faced by the Dutch East India Company was very harsh, and a group of poor people struggled with their heads in Asia. And those real nobles will run away after a few years, so the rise of ordinary employees is very fast.
It's like the little old man who slapped the table and scolded the governor. From a low-level businessman, he became the chairman of the municipal council in a few years, and then took full control of the Taiwanese colony. Even if he is forcibly transferred back to the headquarters, he will have to be given the post of commander-in-chief of the East India Fleet.
The most powerful governor, Fan Dimen, also climbed up from the bottom.
But now, the governor and fleet commander can only be served by nobles sent from the country. Those low-level employees of the company have their room for improvement sealed. At most, they can become company councilors, and they simply form cliques to cultivate local influence.
If it were not for the rise of China, the next step for these local factions would be to fully build a colonial society: encourage the Dutch to build plantations, encourage the Dutch to start companies, and then do business in partnership with the Chinese and Javanese nobles. Then build various public facilities and entertainment facilities, treat the colony as their own home, and even if they retire, they will never return to the Netherlands.
What are you doing back home?
They are not nobles when they return to the Netherlands, but they can continue to be superiors if they stay in the colony.
One afternoon, Governor Rainiers was escorted to negotiate.
Sitting at the negotiating table, Rainiers was very dissatisfied: "Is this your country's negotiating attitude? I need an adjutant and a clerk."
Liu Hanyi sneered: "I will give you two options, one is to continue the negotiation, and the other is to be taken to Nanjing for trial. I can guarantee that after the trial, you will be beheaded."
Rainiers fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that this guy didn't make a statement, Sun D shouted: "Put it down and bring it back to Nanjing!"
Two soldiers immediately dragged Rainiers out. The guy was obviously frightened, and quickly shouted: "I am willing to negotiate!"
Liu Hanyi raised her hand: "Bring it back."
Sitting down again, Rainiers said: "I am now a prisoner, and a prisoner is not qualified to negotiate on behalf of the company. Moreover, I need the authorization of the council. If there is no authorization, it is useless for the governor to sign the treaty. "
Liu Hanyi asked: "You still need authorization from the council? You have arrested all the councilors."
"That was an extraordinary moment," Rainiers said.
Sun D said: "Now is also an extraordinary time. But don't worry,??French, Portuguese, Spaniards appreciate. These countries have all signed treaties with the Netherlands that have not yet expired. As long as the Netherlands dares not admit it, other countries will also have an excuse to tear up the treaty.
Several warships, transporting five hundred troops, headed quickly towards Ambon Island.
Ambon Island is next to Seram Island, and there is a Buru Island to the west.
The aborigines on the island are extremely fierce, and have broken through Portuguese and Spanish castles many times, and once defeated the Dutch colonists.
In order to prevent the indigenous rebellion, the Netherlands has carried out massacres many times. Because the massacre was so excessive, even Britain, Portugal, Spain and other countries couldn't stand it, and accused the Dutch colonists of being inhumane.
By the way, during the negotiations between Cromwell and the Netherlands, one of the clauses of the armistice treaty was: The Netherlands compensated the descendants of the Abbon Islanders who were massacred by 300,000 Dutch guilders.
Holland really agreed. As for whether to pay or not, only the devil knows.
Even if the Dutch are willing to accompany them, the natives dare not take it. The treaty only said that the money should be paid, but it didn't say that the massacre could not continue. It was enough to kill the natives who received the compensation.
Cromwell never thought about making the Netherlands lose money. Many contents of the armistice treaty are not operable, and they are simply disgusting the Netherlands.
Of course, there is a sum of money that must be paid.
Because when the Netherlands carried out the massacre, it also killed all the British on the island.
Seeing the Chinese ships approaching, the Dutch officers in Ambon immediately blew their horns to gather soldiers for defense.
There are only more than 80 Dutch defenders here, and there are only about a hundred people including civilians and civilians.
The writer Neuhof went ashore in a small boat, took out a document issued by the governor, and said to the Dutch in the city: "We have lost the war. Ambon Island was ceded to China. You should pack up your things and prepare to leave."
An island rich in spices fell into the hands of China. </div>
