Chapter 432: 3 bottom lines

The solemn and majestic soldiers made Rod feel a little uneasy. ? Eight? One Chinese? W≤W≤W≤. ≤8=1≈Z≈W≠. ≥COM
And the first sentence of the young King Qi caused a cold sweat behind his back. He didn't know much about the country of Da Yu, and he didn't understand what purpose the King Qi said this sentence, it was preparation. revenge? Or is it just a test?
After being silent for a while, Luo Luo said cautiously: "His Royal Highness Qi, I think the war with King Chu is not initiated by us, but King Chu has long planned to monopolize the sea trade."
At this time everyone was outside the Dengzhou government office. Xiao Ming sneered and said, "Ambassador Rod, let's talk inside the house. I know you Dutch very well."
Luo Luo was taken aback, and he followed Xiao Ming into the palace.
Everyone seated, the officers offered tea, and Xiao Ming took a sip and said, "You have a total of twelve battleships in East Asia. Ryukyu and Nagasaki are your two supply points in this area. You built two on Ryukyu Island. There are three castles, one at the southern end of Ryukyu Island and the other at the northern end of Ryukyu Island. Among the ten thousand garrisons, there are real Dutch soldiers and more than three thousand people. The rest are local natives of Ryukyu Island, including the Japanese pirates you hired. ?"
Xiao Ming didn't say a word, the more cold sweats on Luo Luo's body, he looked at Xiao Ming incredible and said, "Are you investigating us?"
"Yes, this king is investigating you, just as you are investigating this king." Xiao Ming said frankly.
Luo Luo opened his mouth in surprise, his thoughts are a little confused now, facing the Qi King, he couldn't be as calm as facing the Chu King, because the young prince in front of him seemed to have seen him through.
"Let's talk about the purpose of your trip."
Seeing Luo Luo's expression in shock, Xiao Ming turned the subject away, his goal had been achieved, just to shock Luo Luo.
After swallowing, Rod said: "His Royal Highness Qi, we are here this time to establish a long-term foreign trade relationship with His Highness and to seek partners."
"Foreign trade relations? Partners?" Xiao Ming sneered. He said, "I shelled the merchant ships of our country and occupied our coastal routes. Is this your foreign trade relations?"
Hearing this, Luo Luo didn't know how to explain it. Originally, they looked at Dayu with the eyes of Native Americans. They never looked at this seemingly powerful but actually very weak country.
But now things have undergone unexpected changes, and there is clearly a very powerful force in the north of this country.
If this place is as close as the Americas, he wouldn't be so worried, because the native 6th Army will provide support for them, but now they are thousands of miles away, so their people equipped with the same weapons have become dangerous.
"His Royal Highness, I think this is a misunderstanding. We only attacked King Chu's merchant ships, not other merchant ships..."
"I know you colonists very well!" Without waiting for Rod to explain, Xiao Ming interrupted Rod, because Rod was obviously lying.
Staring sharply at Rod, Xiao Ming continued: "In North America you slaughtered the local natives, in Africa you bought and sold slaves, and in South Asia you looted spices and various raw materials. Your hands were covered with blood. Now you point the butcher knife at After this king’s country, you know that my country is in a torn apart and weak, so you want to force your trade hegemony on my country."
"You... how do you... know America and Africa!"
Luo Luode could not be described as surprised anymore. The flintlock had subverted their understanding of the Qi King, and now the Qi King's knowledge shocked him even more.
He has spoken to many people in Great Yu, and no one knows anything outside of Great Yu. For him, this is a closed country, but now the King of Qi has completely broken his perception.
"This king not only knows America and Africa, but also knows where your Netherlands is? Adding between France and England, your Dutch life must be unsatisfactory." Xiao Ming's mouth was full of mockery.
No matter how the Dutch are in Europe, the Dutch are now colonists to him.
Rhode’s psychological defenses have completely collapsed. The unknown makes people feel terrified, and now he faces an unknown.
"His Royal Highness Qi, please believe in our sincerity. We did come with the original intention of establishing trade relations." Rod said with difficulty.
In the era of great navigation, no war was justified. At this time, speaking depends on fists. Just as the Dutch colonized Ryukyu and occupied trade routes, this was supported by force.
The so-called truth is only within the range of the artillery, and the winner is qualified to formulate the rules of the game. For Xiao Ming, it is time for him to formulate the trade rules of the East Asian region. So he said: "It is okay to establish trade, but the first First, you must transfer Ryukyu Island to this king. Second, the trade routes in East Asia are owned by this king. Third, Dengzhou will be your only trading point. If you agree to these three, this king will agree to establish with you. Trade."
"How can this be!"
Rod suddenly stood up from his chair out of anger, and when it was the natives' turn to make the rules for these indigenous countries, they had always been the Dutch.
What's more, this rule will completely turn their Dutch from the protagonist of the trade into a vassal, which they cannot tolerate.
"Nothing is impossible. East Asia is our territory, and the rules here should also be formulated by us. You Dutch are only outsiders. You should follow the rules. Moreover, Ryukyu belongs to the great Yu country. This is already an act of aggression in the territory of Yu State, and this king has the right to demand that you return the Ryukyu Island.
"His Royal Highness, your request is too much. We will not agree to any of these three items, especially Ryukyu. This is not your land. Now it belongs to the Netherlands." Rod said angrily.
"Ryukyu belongs to the Great Yu Kingdom!"
Xiao Ming's expression became cold. He has lost patience with these bandits~EbookFREE.me~ It seems that the Dutch have not realized what they will encounter.
"I think we have nothing to talk about." Rhodes stood up at this moment.
"As you wish." Xiao Ming said resolutely, because this is also his bottom line. He must take it back for Ryukyu, and he must take it back for trade routes.
With a cold snort, Luo Luo got up and walked out, and the accompanying people also left.
"His Royal Highness, these barbarians have always been awe-inspiring but not ethical. No matter how much they say, it is not as effective as a war. Moreover, the Dutch and the Japanese are in peace, which is very detrimental to us. The Japanese pirates outside the city walls are all holding guns. Ben looked serious at this time.
Xiao Ming nodded. In contemporary times, the 16th-century Wa country used to be a world-class gun-making center. Statistics show that the Wa country once produced 300,000 muskets.
Although subjectively does not want to see the Japanese, Xiao Ming objectively has to admit that the Japanese is a strong opponent and should not be underestimated. Because of this, he has to cut off the Dutch and the Japanese to prevent more Western technology from pouring into the Japanese. .
