Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"Yes"

Soon there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door. Before those people entered the door, enthusiastic voices penetrated into the room.

"Dennis, my old friend, long time no see, how are you?"

Before the words fell, four or five Western envoys entered the room, and the leader was none other than the Spanish ambassador Silva.

Silva had a mean smile on his face, seeing Dennis as happy as seeing his own father.

He walked quickly to Dennis and grabbed Dennis' big hand.

It's impossible for Dennis to show embarrassment to them, at least not now.

He immediately stood up with a smile:

"What kind of wind is blowing today, why did it bring my old friend here! Please sit down quickly, and someone will serve tea to some distinguished guests."

These ambassadors are so distraught that they don't even have the time to drink tea.

"Master Dennis, have you received a notice from Daming that they actually forbid us from preaching and selling tobacco, it's simply bullying!

The Spanish ambassador took the lead in explaining his intention, and wanted to see what the powerful Dutch ambassador could say.

But Dennis did not answer his question, but took out a letter and handed it to the Spanish ambassador:

"Compared to you, our Kingdom of the Netherlands has suffered the greatest loss this time, and I am also a little bit devastated now."

Silva took the ultimatum, only glanced at it, and was immediately stunned.

"My God! How is this possible..."

Chapter 414

Spanish Ambassador Silva reached out to receive the notice from Dutch Ambassador Dennis.

After only one glance, his face changed, and he exclaimed in his mouth:

"God, is Daming crazy? How is this possible..."

While Silva was shocked, the Portuguese ambassador also saw the notice.

He was also secretly thankful that Daming did not treat Portugal like he treated the Dutch.

They once also occupied Macau of Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ming Dynasty just wiped out their troops stationed in Macau, and did not demand compensation from Portugal.

After a while, the Spanish ambassador Silva's little mind became active again, and he began to gloat.

The Netherlands was once a Spanish colony, and it became independent after nearly 60 years of wars.

To be honest, Spain does not have a good opinion of the Dutch.

Of course, it is impossible to show these things, you can only enjoy them in your heart.

Regarding the Macau issue, the Portuguese ambassador misunderstood the concept. It was not that Ming refused to allow them to pay compensation.

They occupied Macau as a rented place, and they paid rent to Daming at the beginning, and it was still a lease in name.

The Netherlands is different. They directly invaded and occupied Taiwan, completely treating Taiwan as their territory.

The Portuguese had already experienced the power of the Daming ironclad warships, and their ambassadors also began to make their own calculations in their hearts, and fell silent for a while.

But the Spanish ambassador Silva is also very bad. In order to completely tear the face of Holland and Daming, he ruthlessly took Dennis into the army.

"Mr. Dennis, you are known as the coachmen of the sea, and you are currently the strongest country in the world, are you still afraid that Ming Dynasty will fail?

This kind of unequal treaty, even if our Spanish empire is not as powerful as before, we will never agree to them. This is a naked challenge to the sea coachman...

Several other ambassadors didn't understand what Silva meant, so they quickly gathered around to watch.

Only then did they realize that things were not as simple as imagined, and Daming actually demanded huge compensation from the Netherlands.

"Mr. Dennis, what's going on? Could it be that Da Ming is strong enough to threaten the Netherlands?"

Dennis smiled coldly:

"Of course not, this is just Da Ming's wishful thinking, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will never compromise with them.

This ambassador has already reported to the higher-ups that not only will we not compensate Daming a penny, but we want them to make compensation and apologize for Daming hurting my Dutch soldiers. "

Several ambassadors echoed almost unanimously:

"That's right, we must show Daming some color, otherwise we will have difficulty in preaching in Daming.

We will also report the situation here to the empire and stand firmly with you.

If there is a war between you and Ming Dynasty, we will be the strong backing of the Netherlands.

Let's take our leave now, go back and report to the higher up immediately...

The tone of these people was very firm, they all expressed their support for the Netherlands, and then hurriedly left.

The purpose of these people is to discuss how to deal with the two decrees of Ming Dynasty.

However, when they saw that Daming had taken Holland under the knife, they immediately changed their minds and prepared to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

If the Netherlands is defeated by Ming, they will take the opportunity to snatch the colonies of the Netherlands.

If Da Ming is defeated, they will also take the opportunity to blackmail Da Ming and get the benefits they want from Da Ming.

It can be said that Westerners are not so united, nor are they monolithic. They all prioritize their interests.

Adding insult to injury is the method that Westerners are best at using, and they will not sympathize with the weak.

As a senior diplomat in the Netherlands, how shrewd Dennis is, how could he fail to see the faces of these people.

Looking at the backs of the ambassadors of several countries leaving, Dennis spat hard at their backs.

Although he was ashamed, Dennis knew that now was not the time to offend these countries.

Once Ming really took action against the Netherlands, the Netherlands would not be able to deal with countries such as Ming and Spain at the same time.

Taiwan

One day after all the Ming troops landed, they immediately began to divide the fields.

At that time, Taiwan's population was small, and if each household was allocated a few acres of land, there would still be a large amount of land left over.

The remaining land will be built into farms and will be used as supplies for Taiwan's garrison in the future.
