"Ambassador Dimon, let me first state that Dayuan Island belongs to our Hongtang's sphere of influence, and we will resolutely not allow anyone to occupy or build any new strongholds on Dayuan Island and attack." In the conference room of Jilong Harbor, Li Tianyang was sitting on one side, looking at the brown-haired hook-nosed man who had just arrived in Jilong Harbor for a few days opposite: "I hope that your fleet of the Netherlands Kingdom can quickly evacuate my Dayuan Island!" ”

Luke's arrival caused a disagreement in the originally harmonious negotiation meeting, and everyone is engaged in fierce negotiations on this disagreement.

Speaking of this disagreement, it was actually something that Li Tianyang and them made up on their own.

Luke. J. Vansel and his seven Dutch warships have been wandering in the Dayuan Sea for more than half a year, and it is impossible that they have not had a place to stay, although there are the territories of their Dutch merchants on the side of the Wa Kingdom, but they have come and gone for many months, which is unacceptable to Luke, who needs to show his face in the chicken coop harbor from time to time.

Therefore, Luke took seven Dutch warships and found a suitable foothold on the coast of Dayuan Island, more than 100 miles south of Jilong Harbor, and built a stronghold.

Of course, the stronghold built by Luke and them had already been under Li Tianyang's surveillance, and for Li Tianyang, who regarded the entire Dayuan Island as his own territory, they would never have allowed such a thing to happen.

However, at this time, Li Tianyang and the others were waiting for Gan Dabiao to negotiate with the Dutch, and the war that had stopped couldn't be restarted because of this incident!

In addition, the remnants of the Dutch really needed such a place to stay, and after Li Tianyang and them found out where Luke and them were, they could only turn a blind eye and let Luke and them go to the southern end of Dayuan Island, and easily established a stronghold.

Until the arrival of Damon, Li Tianyang and the others made their request to Dimon the day after Luke's fleet came to join Damon, that is, today, Li Tianyang solemnly put forward their request to Damon.

"Sect Master Li Tianyang, in the agreement negotiated by everyone outside, there is no specific situation about this stronghold, so it makes no sense for you to ask me so rudely to let me withdraw from your so-called Dayuan Island and withdraw from the stronghold belonging to our Netherlands!" As the plenipotentiary representative of the Dutch in Chicken Coop Harbor today, Damon naturally wants to protect the interests of his country, although they did not think of Luke before leaving, but it does not prevent them from fantasizing about having a foothold of their own in the sea outside the Ming Dynasty.

"Ambassador Dimon, we respect the courage of your officers and men to carve out a stronghold on the deserted island, and we will strictly abide by the agreement and contract that has just been reached between us. However, this does not mean that we in Hongtang will allow the presence of other people's eyes and ears in our sphere of influence. ”

"The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, our Hongtang has not yet developed the stronghold where Lieutenant Luke is located, but it does not mean that we will not develop there in the future!" Li Tianyang looked at Dimon with a serious expression, although his eyes were calm, it made Dimon feel boundless pressure, as if as long as he said a word, they would immediately wave their troops south and capture Luke's stronghold: "We are not willing to take the initiative to use force, but we do not give up the right to use force!" ”

"......" Damon, who had been silent for a long time, faced Li Tianyang's tough tone, and after a long sigh from his mouth, he had to give in and say: "But Lieutenant Luke, they have paid a lot for these strongholds, and they can't just give up just because of Li Tianyang's hall master, right?" ”

This was an excuse for Dimon to step down for himself and the others, but Lieutenant Luke, who was beside him, changed his face and stopped talking.

Even if they don't accept the softness, at this time, Li Tianyang and they have not yet completed the capture of Damon and them, and at the same time, the Daming maritime trade, which is more concerned by the Dutch, also needs Li Tianyang's support. Even if it is difficult to gain a foothold on Dayuan Island, but if it offends the Hongtang team, which is in the limelight in the South China Sea, the Dutch, who were already crippled by the expeditionary force, will really not be able to spare manpower to stabilize this stronghold that is not big or small, and has just opened up.

Lieutenant Luke was also a clever man among the Dutch, and he had already known the point of their coming to negotiate with Hung Tang since he had come to see Dimon yesterday, not in the slow down of the prisoners, and not in their stronghold on the island in the middle of nowhere.

When they came back this time, the most important thing was naturally to establish a cooperative relationship with Hong Tang, so that they could open the door to the wealth of the Ming Dynasty from the hands of the Portuguese by relying on the strength of Hong Tang and Qixintang.

Therefore, for the sake of this long-term benefit, Governor Cohen was willing to pay 500,000 ounces of silver, both to redeem their own sailors who had been killed, and to make up for the compensation they had given for their previous attack on Hong Tang. At the same time, even the unspoken rule between Europeans that they would not sell advanced firearms to the Ming people was also broken by the Dutch, although they found various reasons to limit the number of firearms purchased by Hongtang in a year, but after all, this is the first non-governmental organization that can buy powerful firearms from the Dutch in addition to the Ming officials, and even Li Dan, the lord of the sea, can only buy some firearms eliminated by the Dutch at most.

Such an enclave, which has only been under construction for less than half a year and has never been to it himself, is naturally certainly not as important as the ultimate purpose of his trip in the mind of Dutch Ambassador Dimon.

"I'm sorry, Ambassador Damon, the reason why I didn't make any moves to build a stronghold for Lieutenant Luke before that was because we saw that your fleet had no foothold in our waters and could not drift at sea for a long time, so we gave you convenience. Otherwise, your fort, which was finally completed on November 20 last year, one hundred and thirty-three miles south of our chicken coop harbor, would have been destroyed by our men long ago. Li Tianyang's detailed account made Luke change color on the spot, and even he himself did not expect that Li Tianyang would know everything about his own construction: "Therefore, you should thank our side for your generosity and tolerance, instead of trying to use this stronghold in exchange for other benefits." ”

Li Tianyang was very confident, and he didn't think about making concessions at all, so there was not much room for Ambassador Dimon: "Well, after the agreement between us is completed this time, I will take them back to our Java territory and no longer stay in your territory." ”

"Congratulations on making a wise choice, and I wish our cooperation a long and pleasant one!" Li Tianyang showed a bright smile and warmly stretched out his hand to have a friendly handshake with Damon.
