"Hahaha......"

The solemn atmosphere in the mansion was broken by Xiao Ming's laughter.

After maneuvering for so long, he basically solved the Ryukyu problem without blood, and also found a trade route with Europe.

Stopping his laughter, Xiao Ming said to Claire: "I'm glad you can accept this condition, if you can sincerely trade with this king's fiefdom, this king guarantees that your future trade in East Asia will not be harmed, on the contrary, you will get more profits." ”

"Hopefully, our ultimate goal as the Dutch is trade and profit, as long as His Highness can guarantee this." Claire said with the same smile.

Nodding, Xiao Ming continued: "In that case, it is better for us to sign a trade agreement now to stipulate the commitments of both parties. Xiao Ming said.

After that, he asked Yang Chengye to prepare a pen and paper to write down the results of this negotiation to form an agreement to stipulate the behavior of both parties, and Claire did not have any objection to this.

Then the two sides discussed some issues on the details, and finally reached an agreement.

In the agreement, it is clearly stated:

First, the Netherlands returned the main island of the Ryukyus to the Great Chongqing Kingdom under the name of the King of Qi of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the King of the Great Chongqing Kingdom guaranteed the safety of the Dutch trading company's garrison in the city of Geranza and the smooth flow of trade routes.

Second, the Dutch Trading Company and the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce jointly established the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Dengzhou, and all trade in the future must be approved by the office.

Thirdly, the city of Gelanza retained 2,000 musketeers and four warships, and at the same time allowed the same number of troops under the name of the king of Qi to be stationed and managed, and the supply of the armies of both sides was responsible for themselves.

Fourthly, when the city of Geranza was attacked by a foreign enemy, Qidi was obliged to defend against the enemy together with the Dutch trading company, and at the same time, both sides had a duty to protect their ships at sea when they were plundered by foreign enemies.

……

Writing down these clauses one by one, soon a piece of paper was covered with words, and after writing the treaty in the language of the Great Yu Kingdom, Xiao Ming wrote another treaty in the Dutch language, and this action made Claire's jaw almost drop.

"Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, why do you know our language?" Claire said.

Xiao Ming said: "Then why does Rhodes know the language of our Dayu country? ”

"But he only speaks, not writes." Claire said that Rod's past was not glorious, in fact, Rhodes was also a part of the pirates in the past, and it was with pirates from different countries that Rod mastered the language of Dayu when he was young.

"It is unfortunate that this king learned this knowledge from a knowledgeable missionary." Xiao Ming also used this reason to prevaricate.

"Missionary? So the flintlock pistols and artillery in the hands of His Highness are all? Claire was taken aback.

Xiao Ming nodded affirmatively, since they cooperated, he had to give them a reason.

"This must be a very knowledgeable missionary." Claire smiled wryly, he really wanted to shoot the missionary now.

Laughing lightly, Xiao Ming handed over the agreement to Claire, in fact, he has a very fast grasp of memorization things, such as language, after all, the knowledge that needs to be memorized is in the science and technology library, and a word or even a sentence will immediately pop up when he thinks of something.

"It's time for us to sign, and as long as this entente is in force, war can be avoided." Xiao Ming said.

Claire's expression became serious, and he took a deep breath as he took out a quill from his bosom and signed his name on the agreement.

The island of Ryukyu was developed by the Dutch Trading Company, so this belonged to the wealth announced by the Dutch Trading Company, and he had the right to dispose of the company's property, provided that the company's trade would not be lost.

After Claire signed the agreement, she pushed the agreement to Xiao Ming and said, "Now it's your turn." ”

After receiving the agreement, Xiao Ming also signed his name, and the agreement was officially effective, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Claire's expression was complicated, the Entente was a complete victory for the kings of Qi and a humiliation of defeat for them, which meant that the days when the Dutch informed the East Asian trade routes were officially a thing of the past, just as they had now lost their maritime supremacy in Europe.

"I hope Your Highness will keep the promise of the agreement, otherwise we Dutch will fight to the last soldier." Claire warned.

Xiao Ming's expression was serious, and he said solemnly: "This king has always kept his promises. ”

Nodding, Claire stood up, and said, "In that case, we are waiting for His Highness to arrive in the city of Geranza. ”

"Okay."

Xiao Ming wanted Claire to stay for a meal, but he gave up considering Claire's humiliation at this time, after all, losers also have their own dignity.

Seeing Claire away, Yang Chengye, who participated in the negotiation, looked at Xiao Ming with admiration and said, "I didn't expect His Highness to be really knowledgeable, and His Majesty is really admiring and admiring!" ”

"Less sycophants, more business, this time the treaty was signed, this Dengzhou will be a commercial port for trade with the Netherlands in the future, and the goods coming here from the Netherlands will be unloaded here, and our goods will be loaded on Dutch ships here."

Since the last time Xiao Ming talked about it, Yang Chengye has been looking forward to this day, and now two months have passed, and now he finally has some eyebrows.

He said: "The lower official ordered that the courtyard next to the government be vacated and changed to the Ministry of Foreign Trade. After speaking, Yang Chengye was ready to go, he was much more anxious than Xiao Ming now.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming walked towards Xingyuan, now that the agreement has been signed, there are still a bunch of things below, first of all, to receive the main island of Ryukyu and the fortress on the island opposite the city of Geranza.

His army was to then be stationed in the city of Geranza to work with the Dutch to monitor the trade routes along the coast.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to call Yue Yun over, and the matter of the route he controlled was naturally carried out by Yue Yun.

Not long after returning to Xingyuan, Yue Yun rushed over, during this time he had been leading the fleet for training, and when he learned that Xiao Ming had arrived in Dengzhou, he was about to come to Xiao Ming to inquire about this Ryukyu matter.

"The Dutch surrendered? It's boring! Yue Yun had a disappointed look, he was now looking for an opponent everywhere like a fighting.

"It's not a surrender, it's just that from now on we will be a cooperative relationship, but we must also be vigilant while cooperating, and this is the meaning of the garrison." Xiao Ming said: "Therefore, you will allocate a part of the warships to be stationed in the Ryukyus, and this king will also train a group of marines for you." ”

"Marines?" Yue Yun's eyes lit up, this was the class he had always dreamed of.
