Zhu Haitao doesn't have to participate in specific aid matters. He just gave some general scope, that is, the latest weapons cannot be provided to these people, and he cannot provide them with too much technology and industrial technology to prevent them from leaking due to failure, or threatening the Ming Dynasty with success. However, in addition, Zhu Haitao like money and instructors gives them whatever they want, and for this purpose he also opened a secret account in the Ming Bank, which they can use as they want.

They were then led to visit the industrial area near Chengtian Prefecture. Of course, their routes were arranged in advance, and they would not see the natives and Spanish captives. In these industrial areas, they saw the towering steelmaking furnaces, the equipment manufacturing plants with roaring machines, and the textile factories with rumbling sounds, which gave them a deep impression, giving them a full understanding of the vigorous and upward vitality of this emerging country, and also gave them full motivation to build such a modern country in their hometown.

However, they were privately doubting Zhu Haitao's generosity towards them.

"Why did Mr. Hidalgo, the king of Chinese, help us so generously? They have a big dispute with the Spaniards. If we support us, maybe we just want to make trouble for the Spaniards, right?" Bolivar said in a bedroom in the hotel.

"I think there must be such a meaning. They wanted to make trouble for the Spaniards, so they invited us from America thousands of kilometers away. However, the resentment towards the Spaniards in my hometown has reached an extreme level, just like a volcano that is about to erupt." Saint Martin said from the side.

"If you have this meaning, what can we do? You are all excellent Spanish officers and you can't stand the scenes in your hometown, let alone the priests who I have always come into contact with the villagers. We must resist the Spanish, otherwise, the people in our hometown will always live in hell." Hidalgo said.

The three of them stopped discussing this matter and just returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The three then returned to America by boat, and their support would soon be shipped to the Spanish colonies of America, where they would stir up a tremendous movement.

Shortly after they left, the fleet of Spanish and Dutch negotiators was almost at Chengtian Prefecture.

The plenipotentiary of the Spanish Negotiation Mission was Prince Seston, who was the cousin of Carlos III, who was responsible for this Mingxi peace talks.

The Netherlands' negotiator was Van Leiden, who is one of the largest directors of the 17-member directors of the Dutch East India Company and is also a republican. He came to negotiate with Zhu Haitao, which can be seen as the internal republicans in the Netherlands have won.

Prince Seston met with the Dutch delegation in Madrid. Because both sides had to negotiate peacefully with the Ming Kingdom, they agreed to take a boat to the Far East together. Spain and the Netherlands had fought for eighty years because of the issue of Dutch independence, but a hundred years have passed since this incident, and the hatred between the two sides has also disappeared with time.

At this time, the fleet had already entered the South China Sea and was very close to Chengtian Prefecture.

"Mr. Van Leiden, how did His Highness Prince William V want to solve the problem between you and these yellow monkeys?" asked Prince Sethon in the bedroom where Van Leiden lives on a luxury passenger ship in the peace regiment.

He had no favors for the Ming Dynasty in his heart, although he also advocated peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, which made Spanish aristocrats like him unable to change their contempt for the Chinese in the Far East. In the eyes of these nobles, regardless of the reformists and conservatives, they all believed that Spain had only suffered a small setback, but was unable to exert Spain's strong national strength because of the accumulated problems of Spain over the years. In the eyes of these reformists, they only needed to go through serious and continuous reforms and eliminate the disadvantages of these systems, Spain could crush the Ming Kingdom again.

When Van Leiden heard him ask about William V, he felt a sense of contempt. William V tried all his best on the European stage over the years and made his voice strongly, making all European countries think that one of the royals in the Netherlands controlled the rights of the United Republic. However, Van Leiden knew that this was the result of the republicans losing their ambitions over the years, which led to the royals being clamoring by the side. This time, after the confrontation between the two sides, the royals knew that the power of the republic was unshakable. Now the person in charge was not William V, but the directors of these seventeen people. However, these republicans still dared not depose William V directly, because William V is related to the current British royal family, and the two sides also have many interests. If they act rashly, the Netherlands will be threatened by Britain again.

"Prince William V has already planned to recognize the Ming Kingdom's possession of the East India colony. Our country is weak and not as powerful as your country. He suffered great losses when he started a war with Britain before, and could not conduct an expedition. It is better to end the war with the Ming Kingdom as soon as possible and suffer less losses. Maybe we can still reconcile with the Ming Kingdom and continue to trade! How did His Majesty King Carlos III decide?" said Van Leiden.

The Netherlands has always been established by trade, but later the rise of Britain and France caused a great blow to the Dutch maritime trade route, which led them to take the route of absorbing colonial interests. After the foreign representatives returned to the country, they gradually convinced them and the directors to unite with the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty, which not only allowed them and the republicans to continue to make money through trade, but could even restore to the era when the East India Company was known as the "maritime coachman" in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Therefore, their peace talks were just that these directors made some specific interests with the Ming Dynasty. They had already planned to make the Netherlands a bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty in Europe.

Prince Seston couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He knew that the Netherlands was originally built on finance and trade. Even if he lost such a large area of ​​colonies, it would be fine as long as he could continue trade. But Spain was not the case. They also needed the gold and silver of the colonies to maintain the status of the noble landlords.

"His Majesty the King also wants to end the war with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, but he still wants to buy back the Philippines. If it really doesn't work, it will take a lot of money to complete it! Alas, I really don't know how to negotiate this time." Prince Seston said. Carlos III still did not give up. He was a king with a strong desire to make achievements and definitely did not want to lose his colony during his tenure.

Van Leiden laughed even more in his heart. Carlos III is really unshakable. People have built the capital in Manila. How could they return the Philippines to him? But he still advised: "Let's work hard, maybe there will be a turning point?"
