"Prince, Dutch envoys meet!"

As the morning sun rose, a loud shout came from the towering and solemn Huangji Hall. Then, like a sound tube, a eunuch shouted one after another from Huangji Hall until the Meridian Gate.

"Your Majesty has an order to promulgate the Dutch envoys to meet!"

Above the Meridian Gate Tower, there were soldiers shouting and soaring into the sky.

Outside the Meridian Gate, accompanied by several officials from the Honglu Temple, several Dutch envoys stood.

Hearing this voice, one of the officials of the Honglu Temple nodded to the translator beside him. Then, under the guidance of the officials of the Honglu Temple, several Dutch envoys slowly walked into this towering imperial palace.

The soldiers along the way stood straight with guns and swords. The palace was solemn and majestic. Under such an atmosphere, the Dutch delegation subconsciously tightened their minds, silently recalling the etiquette of seeing the emperor taught by officials of the Honglu Temple.

Step by step, until the Emperor's Hall where all civil and military officials lined up.

Standing in the hall, under the curious gaze of civil and military officials, the Dutch envoys couldn't help but feel a little confused. After a while, the leader of the mission, Qiao Ge, spoke in the stumbled Chinese and shouted.

"The Deputy Governor of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, please pay homage to Emperor Da Heng!"

"The external envoy does not need to be polite."

Li Xiu looked down at several Dutch envoys, then looked around the civil and military officials, looking at the Dutch envoys curiously, and his eyes flashed.

He naturally knew the purpose of the Dutch envoy, but he still asked the Dutch envoy to visit the palace to give a deep impression of the Western Barbarians and increase their understanding of the Western Barbarians.

After all, the future Daheng is destined to deal with Western Yi.

After a while, Li Xiu asked knowingly.

"The foreign envoy came from thousands of miles away, but what happened?"

Hearing this, Qiao Ge looked at the delegation translator, then bowed to Li Xiu and said:

"When your Majesty ascended the throne, the Dutch Governor to Taiwan specially sent us to congratulate you... I want to communicate with Daheng..."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as the translator said halfway, he was interrupted by the sudden rebuke. The chief minister of the cabinet came to Zongdao and bowed deeply to Li Xiu: "Your Majesty, Taiwan has been under the jurisdiction of Penghu since ancient times and the present, and it is the territory of our dynasty. How come the Dutch governor of Taiwan said!"

"This is a secret residence in our territory, and his heart is punished!"

"Please also ask your Majesty to give a clear explanation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials in the court, who were originally interested, suddenly changed. Taiwan was stolen by the Netherlands, and few people knew about it in this court.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, before the Year of the Tianqi period, any Western barbarians' peeping on the Ming Dynasty was subjected to an extremely powerful counterattack.

The Netherlands occupied Taiwan, which began when Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and died in the sixth year of the Age of Revelation. Since then, the court and the world have never been peaceful, so naturally few people will care about how Taiwan is far away.

Even if he reports to the court, he is undoubtedly extremely inconspicuous among many major events.

For example, Zheng Zhilong was ordered to defend guerrillas and generals in Anhai, which was the result of this inability to take into account.

However, I can’t take care of Gui, and I don’t know whether Gui knows. In the court now, when I visit foreigners, this reality has been shown. It naturally involves national prestige. Everything involves national prestige, which is naturally something that cannot be ignored!

What's more, the cabinet chief minister fired this shot, and the deep meaning behind it was obviously very clear.

As a result, the direction of the court also changed suddenly, and civil officials and military generals stood up one after another, either citing classics or directly yelling to destroy the city and restore the land...

"Your Majesty, the Western barbarians are treacherous, taking advantage of the civil strife in China to steal the land of Taiwan, despise the power of Daheng Tian, ​​please give your majesty the order, and the last general is willing to lead a partial army..."

"His Majesty……"

The sudden outrage of the crowd undoubtedly made the people in the Dutch mission a little confused. The translator explained it for a long time before several Dutch envoys understood.

For a moment, several Dutch envoys also looked pale. Even though they were traveling thousands of miles on the sea, how could they not know how powerful this country is for decades.

What a terrifying right does the emperor of this country have.

The reason why they can run rampant in the Taiwan Strait is just because this country doesn’t care about the ocean. Even if they don’t care, they have been defeated many times in the Taiwan Strait and can only hide in Taiwan far away.

Although the dynasty has changed now, this new emperor has been pushed to the throne by the glory of victories one after another, and his prestige and strength are even more terrifying.

If you kill them in a rage, then you will really kill them!

"Your Majesty, this time we are here for the Taiwan affairs. The Governor wants to follow the Portuguese and settle in Macau and pay rent to His Majesty regularly every year. If His Majesty can grant us the Penghu of Taiwan to us and open up trade, the Governor will say that he can also send a fleet to help His Majesty quell the rebellion!"

The translator immediately fell to the ground and said tremblingly.

Li Xiu sneered, and a sentence made the translator even more sweaty.

"Taiwan, Penghu, you have a great appetite. Otherwise, I will give you Ningbo Port and Yuekou Port to you again. Do I want you to give you Guangdong and Fujian again!"

"Do you think Daheng is easy to bully? Is it easy to bully?"

"If I don't agree, will you imitate the Portuguese colluding with rebels and interfere with internal affairs of our dynasty?"

A series of questions directly made the translator's heart sink to the bottom.

This attitude is undoubtedly very obvious.

It is obviously impossible for them to achieve their wish in this trip.

After hesitating for a while, the translator conveyed Li Xiu’s original words to the envoy leader in charge of the interview, the deputy governor of Taiwan, Qiao Ge.

After listening to the translation, Qiao Ge couldn't hide his anger. The land they had already occupied was still willing to give so much for this, and Daheng actually had such an attitude!

In the end, the translator had to whine the bullet and speak out under Jogg's glare.

"Your Majesty, Taiwan, our East India Company has occupied it for a long time. Now the Ming Dynasty has fallen. Several provinces in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang are still not convinced by Your Majesty's rule. How can Taiwan talk about your territory belonging to Your Majesty?"

"It is not your Majesty's territory, so why should you be stingy? As long as your Majesty you promise to grant Taiwan Penghu to us, my East India Company will do our best to help you quell the rebellion..."

"presumptuous!"

“Bold!”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court had a few goals, and they scolded each other one after another, and even more military generals were already full of murderous intent.

"All the king's land under the world is the king's land, and the king's ministers are the king's ministers!"

"The world is the great territory of Daheng, all under the power of Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, these Western barbarians are without trust and righteousness, and are unbearable. The evil intentions are hidden, and their hearts can be punished!"

"Please give your order..."

The Taoist sect was righteous and passionate, which attracted the support of all the ministers.

It was not until Li Xiu slowly stood up from the dragon throne and looked down at the ministers, and the hustle and bustle in the hall were boiling, that it was instantly quiet.

Li Xiu looked around at the turbulent ministers. He did not deny that radical and hard national policies would harm a country. However, what a country could not have the most is to retreat and compromise, and it would not be impossible to lose its iron bones and national confidence!

These things are gone and they need to be cultivated again, but it will not take a day or a night, and it will be difficult to reshape for dozens or hundreds of years!

If one day, Da Heng will perish, he hopes that it will perish vigorously. Even if it is perish, he will leave a strong and unyielding strong backbone for this nation!

Instead of surviving humiliation, leaving indelible pain and shame on this nation!

Thoughts circulated at this moment, and Li Xiuzhi's eyes finally settled on the several Dutch envoys in the hall.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly suppressed, and the pressure from the mountain was overwhelmingly covering several Dutch envoys.

"Folang Jiren colluded with rebels and wanted to seize Macau. I have issued an order to order a large army to conquer. In Macau, there will be no chicken or dog left behind!"

As for this, Li Xiu stared at Qiao Ge, who looked unyielding with his head raised, and his voice suddenly became cold, as if he was a certain fact.

"The land of our ancestors cannot be as big as humans!"

"You'd better get out of Taiwan!"

"Otherwise, it won't take long to know what a king's army is and what a crime is to slaughter the people and punish them!"

As for this, when Li Xiu waved his hand, several generals from the Jinyiwei rushed into the hall. Then, Wang Wu, who had just recovered from his wounds, also shouted: "Please retreat to the court!"

In this situation, Qiao Ge obviously wanted to say something else, but in front of the Jinyiwei General who was surrounding him, he had to hold back his words, snorted coldly, and left.

"If you are not a person of my race, your heart will be different!"

When the envoy left, Li Xiu looked down on the ministers and slowly spoke: "The Flang Ji people have repeatedly disrupted the seas and have been repelled many times and have made a comeback. Now the Flang Ji people have colluded with rebels to build castles and forts in Macau..."

"The Dutch is the same. He has also repeatedly invaded Xinjiang and was repeatedly repelled. He has taken advantage of the chaos to occupy Taiwan. Now he is even more eager to peek at Penghu..."

"The Western Barbarians have been peeping at our dynasty for a long time, and the wolf's ambition has been revealed!"

"As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. I ordered the Martial Arts Academy to sort out the situation of the Western barbarians overseas and summarize it into a book. All the people can study it happily!"

As for this, Li Xiu paused for a moment before saying, "The current situation in the world is completely different from the past."

"After all dynasties, you can stabilize yourself and pacify the troubles of the northern barbarians, you can enjoy peace and create a prosperous era."

"But today's era is different from the past. Nowadays, Western barbarians are rampant overseas. Just like this Netherlands, a small country in the West, it uses naval troops across thousands of miles, swallowing dozens or hundreds of times of land for its use, and plundering the world's wealth to support its local area..."

"This era has changed. As the central minister of the court, you must not stick to the rules and have a broader vision..."

This statement made the civil officials unconsciously surprised. They could not imagine that now there are endless internal and external troubles, and the emperor's eyes have been set overseas.

And the meanings between these words reveal one meaning, that is, even if internal and external troubles are pacified, the war will not stop...

Such a warlike king...so...so...being warriors?

The civil officials were silent and did not dare to speak much. The martial arts were also hard to hide their excitement and were ready to go.

No matter what they have, they will have military achievements as long as they fight. If they have military achievements, their status will always be transcendent!

How could they not be happy?
