Not to mention that Liu Pei is in full swing preparing for war here, Liu Dahai has already rushed to southern Taiwan with a famous ship. Inside the cabin, Liu Dahai was staring at several people who were nominally his entourage in a daze.

These people were all stuffed under him by the Intelligence Bureau, nominally his servants, but in fact they were in charge of spying on intelligence. There was an old man in there who couldn't walk. It is said that he is an expert in tomb robbery for generations, and he can tell at a glance what kind of soil it is.

There is also a middle-aged man who cowered and had calluses in one hand. It is said that this person is a great expert in civil engineering! No matter what kind of house it is, you can see at a glance what weaknesses there are in how it is constructed. There is also a middle-aged scholar who is said to be a good painter. Whoever has seen it once can draw it. He once drew pictures in the government to arrest thieves. There are also a few strange people who also have their own uses.

Liu Dahai looked at these people and knew that the determination of the marshal to go to war was inevitable, it was just a matter of time. If the Dutch are lucky, they may be able to drag on for a year and a half; If they're unlucky, the war will start in a month or two.

Liu Dahai's ship approached Tainan, Taiwan shortly after that. They were spotted in the distance by a Dutch sentinel ship, which immediately met them.

Liu Dahai, who was standing at the bow of the ship, carefully observed the appearance of the ship and found that it was not much different from his own new record. But Liu Dahai's status allowed him to understand that there was such a thing as a watertight compartment on his ship, but the search boat in front of him did not. So Liu Dahai secretly despised these barbarians in his heart!

Under Liu Pei's teaching, coupled with the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Pei's people have become more and more despised by these people! Even Jack began to look down on those people who defecated in the open, and began to feel that he was a Ming man!

Waiting for the other party's ship to approach, Liu Dahai recognized that it was an armed merchant ship. Liu Dahai ordered his ship to lower its sails and wait for the other party to approach. After the other party's ship approached, Liu Dahai keenly discovered the greed in the eyes of those soldiers at the bow of the boat!

Liu Dahai knows what these Yiren are! It's not unusual for these people to do any kind of bad things. But Liu Dahai was not worried at all, he gently waved his hand behind him. The sailors who had been waiting at the mast for a long time immediately pulled the rope hard, and a skull flag with a black background immediately fluttered in the sea breeze! Liu Dahai firmly believes that after this flag flutters, no one dares to move a finger against him!

Sure enough, after the black-bottomed skull flag fluttered in the sea breeze, the Dutch soldiers were visibly in a commotion. The greed in their eyes was replaced by curiosity.

Obviously, they had heard the name Red-Eyed Dragon King. But they weren't afraid of the Red-Eyed Dragon King. The Dutch already rule the seas of this world, and they fear no enemy at sea. However, the small size of the country is their natural bruise! The defeat of the Dutch was due to the fact that the French had attacked the Netherlands from land, forcing them to dig their own seawalls and drown the enemy. So these soldiers were just curious about Liu Dahai and not afraid. Because they feel they have the qualifications.

Liu Dahai waited for their commotion to subside, and shouted loudly in Dutchland, "I am a messenger sent by the Red-Eyed Dragon King, and I ask to see your governor. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the Dutch sailors parted, and a middle-aged man with a big beard appeared on the side of the ship. Liu Dahai knew that this person must be the captain of the ship, so he repeated what he had said loudly.

The captain gave a few orders to the sailors, and then shouted to Liu Dahai, "Follow my ship." ”

The Dutch ships turned their bows and headed for the mouth of the Taijiang River. Liu Dahai also ordered the ship to raise its sails and follow.

Before coming, Liu Pei showed Liu Dahai a lot of information. Liu Dahai knew that just a few years ago, these Dutch people actually attacked Penghu's idea, but they were just repulsed. These Dutch landed at Magong Hongmucheng in Penghu and began to build a castle at the end of the Penghu Wind Cabinet. They robbed the Chinese of more than 600 fishing boats of various types in Penghu and forced the Chinese to build fortifications, forts and walled cities for them. 1,300 Chinese died of starvation and exhaustion in hard labor, and more than 270 were plundered to Java for hard labor! They also used their base in Penghu to constantly harass Chinese mainland, so Liu Dahai actually looked forward to the marshal starting a war with them earlier!

When the ships approached the mouth of the Taijiang River, the density of ships was significantly larger. After sailing into the Taijiang River, Liu Dahai's boat also staggered with a Chinese-style sea boat. The scholar, who was good at painting portraits, leaned close to Liu Dahai's ear and said, "Lord Liu, I recognize the person at the bow of the boat that staggered with us just now!" It is a pirate leader nicknamed Datou under Liu Xiang! It seems that Liu Xiang has really taken refuge in these Yiren! ”

Liu Da said in a low voice, "It's not sure yet." You take a closer look. ”

The middle-aged scholar nodded and retreated, lying on the side of the boat looking idle. In fact, Liu Dahai knew that he was staring at the passing ships. Liu Dahai's ship soon came to the dock and stopped at the dock under the command of the dock soldiers. The captain, who had stopped the ship first, came over and shouted, "Mr. Messenger, you can't get off the ship now. I will not be able to give you a formal reply until I have finished briefing the Governor. ”

Liu Dahai nodded to show that he understood, and stood at the bow of the boat very casually, looking at the scenery around. And the people around him look the same, but they are actually busy with their own things. After all, the Dutch castle is clearly visible here.

Liu Dahai also began to count the boats on his head by the way. Liu Dahai saw that there were already four large Dutch ships parked on the dock. Only one of them was a battleship with a double gun deck. The others were armed merchant ships with single-deck guns.

However, the extra 17 or 8 ships on the pier were all Chinese-style sea vessels. They are the direction of Liu Dahai's key observations. In the same way, the other party is watching them carefully. The people on the boat looked extremely fierce, and they were not good at first glance. When they saw the skull flag on a black background, there was always a hint of awe and resentment in their eyes! It seems that these people are Liu Xiang's subordinates.

After Liu Dahai looked at these boats and you, he turned his head to look at several other entourage. The faces of these people were very solemn, especially the middle-aged craftsman who kept rubbing his big hands full of calluses, and his face was very ugly.

Liu Dahai asked in a low voice, "Why do you have this face?" Any questions? ”
