The Dutch, not to be outdone, offered to perform the same service in return for a monopoly of trade in the Emperor's dominions.
This brought all other Europeans into line against the Dutch proposal, and the intrigue was defeated.

The embargo on all European trade at Surat was maintained, while the Dutch, French, and English were directed to scour the seas and destroy the pirates.

It was further ordered that Europeans on shore were not to carry arms or use palanquins, and their ships were forbidden to hoist their national flags.

The Dutch and French hung back.

They would not send a ship to sea without payment, except for their own affairs.
