The two of them pulled eggs in the city hall all morning, and both sides kept making solemn protests to each other, and even the entourage next to them felt bored and drowsy, but Simmons and Xiao Hanguang were like two fighting cocks, constantly negotiating.

In the end, the two sides pulled chicken feathers on the ground, but nothing came of it, and Simmons had to leave the city hall angrily.

He knew that if it continued like this, the Batavia side would definitely not be able to survive. The Far East Company sent a powerful fleet to seal the Strait of Malacca, and any Dutch ships or merchant ships bound for Batavia were detained, and the slightest resistance would be sunk.

Moreover, two of their warships also sailed to Batavia, attacked the port, and blew it to the ground. Enraged, the Governor of the East Indies sent more than a dozen warships to sea to fight the fleet of the Far East Company, but none of them returned to port.

The headquarters of the East India Company had been cornered, and now their trade routes were cut off, and even ships leaving the port were in question. The city of Batavia is also full of dangers, those Muslim heretics have just besieged them, if it were not for their food and grass, whether Batavia could be kept is two words.

Then worse news came, and the castle of Gerancha in southern Taiwan was taken down in one day. The Dutch East India Company gritted its teeth with hatred. They just sent five ships to the vicinity of Manila to exert some pressure on the Far East company, but the Far East gang of madmen, their counterattack was so fierce.

It was the first time that the Dutch had encountered such a fierce force, and most of the East India Company's maritime power in the South Seas had been sunk by them in just one month. And also broke the castle of Geranza where they were in Tainan.

Faced with this dire situation, the East India Company convened a meeting, believing that their greatest enemy at this time was the Sultan of Matharan Agung of Java, and that if this trouble was not resolved, Batavia would be in crisis at any time.

The spice islands in the Banda Sea are where their greatest interests lie in Southeast Asia, after all, it is not possible to achieve the goods of the Ming Dynasty in the short term, even if the Far East Company does not interfere, the Portuguese and the pirates in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty have been desperately obstructing.

Therefore, the temporary withdrawal from the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty did not cause much loss to them. And they felt their scalps tingle at the thought of the Far Eastern Company, and no one wanted to be the enemy of a group of madmen, or powerful madmen. So the voices of peace talks with the Far East Company accounted for the majority.

As a result, the Governor of Batavia sent Frank, the chief of the East India Regional Council, to Manila to negotiate with the Far East Company. Frank, who was also one of the first few figures in the Dutch East Indies, sent him to Manila in the hope of signing a new contract with the Far East Company to redefine the sphere of influence between the two sides.

Now in the face of the pressing momentum of the Far East, they can't bear it. If this toss continues, who knows what else those crazy people in the Far East can do to invite them, and now their key is to ensure their spice trade on Banda Island. Now they can't afford to provoke the Far East Company, so they can only temporarily give up the interests of the Daming coast.

The Dutch East India Company sent Frank to Manila, fully demonstrating its sincerity, and Li Ming also returned to Manila in due course to meet with Frank and reached a mutual understanding on the recent events between the two sides.

After more than 10 days of bickering, a treaty was finally signed that was satisfactory to both sides for the time being. The treaty demarcated the spheres of influence of the two sides, and basically established that the two sides were bounded by the island of Luzon, and the southern part was the sphere of influence of the Dutch East India Company, and the Far East Company was not allowed to send ships to enter.

In the north, the Far East Company was in the sphere of influence, and the Dutch India Company withdrew from Taiwan, but the Far East Company had to provide the Dutch East India Company with Ming goods, and the trading place was in Manila.

The Far East Company returned the Dutch ships that had been seized, but the goods on board belonged to the military materiel of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, and the Far East confiscated all of them, but the Netherlands was not required to pay ransom for those ships. The Dutch captives in the Far East, the Dutch East India Company paid a ransom for them and brought them back.

After nearly a month of busyness, the dust has finally settled. The Far East Company finally achieved its strategic intention and successfully cleared the Dutch power from the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

It has taken a solid step for the company to thoroughly control the circulation channels of Nanyang commodities. It was now February 1630, and the main fleet was still a little over a month away from returning to Vladivostok. Li Ming also began to arrange all aspects of Luzon's work.

The first was a formal surrender ceremony with the Spanish Expeditionary Force, and the Far Eastern Company formally accepted Enrique's surrender, retaining sufficient dignity for him. A relatively regular prisoner of war camp was established to house the Spanish prisoners. Enrique, on the other hand, lived in a small Western-style building with a single courtyard and enjoyed his due treatment.

The aborigines of Luzon have been centrally managed, and new villages have been built in various parts of Luzon, which is a very heavy task, but fortunately there are not many natives in Luzon now. With the help of a large number of indigenous leading parties, the work was finally completed.

The two brigades of the Overseas Corps that came with the fleet will be stationed on Luzon Island in the future, and the next assignment of land and the work of indigenous women for them will be handled by Xiao Hanguang and other employees of the Ethnic Affairs Committee.

The Luzon garrison was formed, consisting of two overseas brigades, the Foreign Legion, the Luzon Infantry Regiment, and a number of direct support units.

Two overseas brigades, one will be stationed in Batangas and one in Dagupan. Every year, they also take turns to send a battalion to the two castles of Tamsui and Anping in Taiwan. They were also responsible for administering the Foreign Legion, with eight mercenary companies stationed throughout Luzon.

Manila is garrisoned by a newly trained Luzon Infantry Regiment, while a platoon of the War Department and a machine gun company of the Far East Division will remain in Manila as a direct force of the Luzon Management Committee.

Li Ming also formed the Far East Company's Nanyang Fleet, two cutting-edge sailing ships and four fast sailing ships will be the main force of the fleet, stationed in Manila Bay. The Luzon guerrilla fleet was merged into the South Sea Fleet and four sub-fleets were stationed in Legazpi, Cassigulan, Mindoro and the Babuyan Islands.

During this time, He Wu absorbed some pirates, and the great reputation of the Far Eastern Company made small groups of pirates from all over the country rush to join him. There were even pirates from the southeast coast as far as possible.

After arranging the security work in Luzon, Li Ming met with the Zheng brothers again, had a long talk with them, and then introduced them to Liang Yujie, the manager of the Far East Branch, and the next work will be directly handed over to the Far East Branch.

Since the Zheng brothers and Li Ming went to sea to see the Far Eastern warships, they completely gave up their self-reliance and began to concentrate on acting as the doglegs of the Far East, they were in charge of the Chinese merchants along the coast of Fujian, and they also had to provide supplies for the Far East's two castles in Taiwan.

This year's situation is like this, the Zheng brothers integrated Fujian's Daming maritime merchants, channeled his influence, and the identity of the Daming sailor's guerrilla, and controlled all kinds of maritime merchants in Fujian.

Last year, the company has set up a wireless base station on a small island in the waters of Zhoushan, and has dispatched a wireless communication team to be responsible for the company's communication with Song Shiping. This year, Song Shiping's task is also very heavy, and he will make friends with all kinds of businessmen in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As for the coastal areas of Guangdong and Macao, they will not have the energy to manage them this year, and they will first digest the fruits of the existing victory. It would be good to do a good job in the coastal areas of Luzon, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Taiwan, and Fujian this year.

The plan to attack Macau is too big, and Li Ming can't make a decision lightly, he still decided to report this matter to the board of directors, after all, this involves the local government of Daming Guangdong, and once the Ming court is alarmed, it may affect their next plan. It is important to have a detailed and feasible plan to be addressed next year.

In the www.biquge.info town of Biquge in the north of Vladivostok, this year's autumn harvest has once again achieved a bumper harvest, with 40,000 acres of corn and 20,000 acres of potatoes planted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in the town of Biquge www.biquge.info. More than 10,000 acres of sweet potatoes, as well as thousands of acres of soybeans and peanuts, have been harvested quite abundantly.

In addition to the more than 20,000 acres of crops in Vladivostok, more than 20,000 tons of corn, more than 20,000 tons of potatoes, 40,000 tons of sweet potatoes, and a large amount of corn and peanuts have been stored in Vladivostok this winter. In addition, a large amount of autumn cabbage, green carrots, cabbage, capsule, and snow fern are planted in autumn to make a large number of kimchi, sauerkraut, and dried vegetables.

The company's fishing company is fishing and whaling day and night, and the seafood processing plant and canning factory also process a large amount of fish and canned whale meat. Dried fish, whale meat and scallops are piled up.

The North Korean authorities sent 50,000 stone of rice over this summer, and only received some silver symbolically, for fear that this evil neighbor in the Far East would come to the door again.

Jeju Island has also achieved a bumper crop harvest this year, and it is not only self-sufficient, but has even pulled a lot of grain to Vladivostok. Although the price of grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has risen a lot this year because of Li Ming and Song Tao's large-scale grain purchases last year, Song Shiping still transported nearly 100,000 stone of rice to Ulling Island before the winter.

The Russian Island breeding base, breeder hatchery center, broiler farm, layer farm, pig farm, meat rabbit and rex rabbit farm, duck and goose breeding center, and fungus cultivation center have also been produced one after another this year, but because of the limited scale, except for the fungus cultivation center that can guarantee part of the supply of Vladivostok, the rest can only ensure the supply of troops, company employees and regular laborers in various parts of the Military Commission. The breeding center will continue to expand its scale and will be able to meet the supply needs of the entire Vladivostok by the onset of winter next year.

The tens of thousands of tons of grain that Gao Jianguo and Li Ming brought back from Siam and Jiangsu and Zhejiang last year still have a lot left this year. Therefore, more than 200,000 people in Vladivostok this year have very sufficient food for wintering. Everyone in the company breathed a sigh of relief, and last year's food shortage made everyone feel palpitations to this day.

After the winter of this year, the company carried out the second labor winter training, because of last year's experience, so the implementation is much smoother. And the militia of fifty musket militia companies will be the main force of instructors for this year's winter training.

At the same time, a whole few months of large-scale ideological education were carried out, large-scale literacy was carried out, and the second group of Liao people were brainwashed and educated in an all-round way. A few months later, every new Liao person will have a kind of rebirth. R1152
