Horton finally agreed with Zhao Hai's statement and decided to join forces with other foreign representatives to prepare to put pressure on William Richthofen.

The other sixteen foreign representatives also agreed to the enlistment and request of the Ming Dynasty's secret envoy. Everyone held a meeting for this and prepared to discuss their views on this matter.

"You are all attracted by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?" asked an expatriate representative at the meeting.

"Yes! We have all seen the secret envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and they have promised us a lot of benefits!"

"Yes, if I defect to the Ming Dynasty, then my previous transactions will not only be retained, but will also be expanded by more than five times. The most important thing is that they can also enter the Chinese market, which is a market with a population of 400 million!"

"So, have you all decided to surrender to the Ming Kingdom?" a representative asked uncertainly.

"Yes! I don't know what you are thinking, but I'm ready to surrender anyway. Now the situation in the Netherlands is getting worse and worse. Our company's cargo for several days cannot be shipped out. Moreover, the British outside are eyeing each other. Many ships were sunk by the British before. If we surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be a correct investment in the future." Another foreign representative said.

"But we still have many industries in the Netherlands! This is not something that can be transferred by just relying on it. Not to mention whether the losses are serious, we have to convince the heads of each family. Otherwise, we will make a private decision. What should we do if the heads of the family do not agree?" A representative expressed his confusion.

"Hey, it's time, we can only agree to them. I can't control whether my head of the family will punish me. We can only do our best. Anyway, the fruits provided to us by the Ming Kingdom will be placed in front of us."

"Yes! We can try it! If we don't do as they ask, our company will not only go bankrupt, but we will also be sent to the concentration camp as war criminals!"

"I think we can still persuade our heads. Although we have made money in the Netherlands for hundreds of years, it seems that the fate of the Netherlands sinking is destined! In addition, it is said that Daming can still send troops to help the Netherlands maintain order. The army of the Ming Kingdom is so strong that if there is a riot, the Ming army can definitely suppress those mobs." A representative suddenly said.

"Oh? The Ming Dynasty promised to maintain order in the Netherlands? That would be great! My head of the family is an old stubborn person. He would definitely not agree to move out of the Netherlands. We don't need to withdraw. I think the Netherlands will be in turmoil soon after this war. If there is a Ming army maintaining order, then we don't have to worry, or even worry about the surrounding countries taking the opportunity to attack the Netherlands!" said another representative.

"Let foreign troops enter the Netherlands? Will this give the damn William V a polite? He is now trying his best to create an image among the people, just to lay the foundation for him to be king! If he is king, we republicans will be done!" Another representative led the topic to conflicts in the Netherlands.

"Haha, let's talk about this later! Anyway, we have money, so it's not easy to kill him?" One of the other representatives disagreed.

"I think everyone agrees that we will surrender to the Ming Kingdom, so we should take action! We must win over the military power here in Batavia as soon as possible! We must strive to force William Richthofen to surrender as soon as possible. If he does not surrender, we will get rid of him! We cannot let him stop our chances of getting rich again!" Seeing that everyone agreed, Horton said.

"Well, I think it should start immediately now!" "I think so!" "Let's start taking action now!" Everyone was talking, but they all said that they were going to prepare for a coup to force Governor William Richthofen to surrender to the Ming Kingdom.

Although their seventeen representatives are far away from overseas, they still have the best financial resources. If they really start, who can withstand their silver bullet attack? In half a month, the self-defense commander Horst from Batavia City, and many grassroots officers were bribed by the money of these seventeen people.

Horst is actually a fool. He also took the power to the struggle between the royal family and the republicans in China. Since the Republicans have given him so much money, why didn't he fight? He has no patriotic thoughts at all, just to spend all day.

On March 13, 1782, after being blocked for more than a month, a coup broke out in Batavia. William Richthofen was suddenly invited to attend a meeting of seventeen representatives on this day, saying that he would continue to discuss how to solve the current problem.

Richterhoven had no choice but to follow the company's rules and regulations, he had to participate.

But as soon as he arrived at the meeting, he found that it was surrounded by the army, and the representatives were looking at him with a smile on their faces, as if they were watching a clown in a circus.

"What are you doing? Horst, why did you transfer the army?" William Richthofen asked Horst, who led these troops.

"Governor General, we are asking you when do you want to surrender to the Ming Kingdom?" Horst asked expressionlessly.

"Surrender to the Ming Kingdom? You...you want to surrender? Alas, I understand what you mean, but they ask us to surrender unconditionally! Can you bear such an insult?" William Richthofen understood what was going on insults in an instant, but he asked.

"No matter what conditions we are, we will surrender now! Otherwise, you will not want to leave this room alive!" said a representative.

"Yes! I will agree to surrender now, Horst, go and find the Ming negotiator in the prison!" Richter Hoffen said helplessly.

"No need to invite me, I'm here." Li Yun suddenly appeared in the conference room and walked out. He had a list in his hand, and he walked over and placed it in front of William Richthofen's eyes.

"You...required to take control of the Dutch East India Company? Did you actually agree?" William Richthofen's expression was helpless at first, but then turned into astonishment.

"Yes! Although we lost control, we made more!"

"Governor General, I advise you to surrender to the Ming Kingdom too! This broken ship in the Netherlands has leaked everywhere! You are not only a governor, but also familiar with all European countries. Maybe it can help the Ming Dynasty open up the European market!" Another representative persuaded.

"You traitors! You actually sold the company! You even advised me to surrender! Don't think about it!" William Richterhofen cursed.

"Bang!"

Horst shot William Richthofen from the back of the head, and the governor fell on the table, with blood splashing everywhere.
