This strategy was decided by a meeting on board the Nicole a day ago.

When Xue Laixiang and his companions were rescued on the ship, many people invariably proposed this strategy - as long as the Nicole was sailed outside of Hollow Harbor, even if nothing was done, it should have a considerable deterrent effect on the Sulu magnates, and then we only need to put forward some terms for negotiation.

Of course, this is a bloodless and ideal situation, and if the other side does not open his eyes and does not agree to our demand for compensation, then we can completely block this port.

Our ships are strong, once the port of Holo is blocked, cutting off the wealth of the king and the nobles, I don't believe that your Sulu country can withstand it, at that time, whether it is flat or round is not up to us?

So things have developed so far, and the situation is basically in normal development.

It's just that the battle just now was indeed a bit unexpected by everyone, and everyone didn't take into account that because of the dense fog weather, the Nicole did not arrive outside the port of Holo for a long time, but let the Pride go all the way to the front.

No one can see Nicole, and the goal of intimidating others with Nicole will naturally not be implemented, and the result is that the other party treats the Pride as a piece of fat, and we will naturally not obediently let others slaughter, and the conflict is a natural thing.

Fortunately, this unexpected conflict does not contradict our intimidation tactics, but rather has a bonus effect.

By the time the three rows of boats on the sea were beaten badly by the Pride, the fog had mostly cleared, and the view of the narrow strait from the walls of Holo was clear.

Therefore, the scene on the sea off the port of Holo should be clearly visible, at least in the telescope.

As for the closer docks, there are probably tens of thousands of people who witnessed the tragic situation of the slurry boats, right? Anyway, from the Pride, the docks were crowded with onlookers.

Especially the two huge explosions, there were about tens of thousands of people in the distance who exclaimed together, and the sound came, just like the shouts of the fans when watching a football game in the stadium, although the sound could only be heard because of the distance, but those shouts were nothing more than fear or surprise, in short, one thing was certain---- at that time, the Pride was out of the limelight.

Soon, the people on board the Pride sensed the fear of the people on the Pride docks in Port Hollow.

Because when the Pride slowly approached the dock, it actually caused a great panic among the onlookers.

It seems that people really can't understand how a ship without sails and oars can sail on the sea, and the most natural thought is that it is a devil or a ghost driven by a magic ship.

Now, the devil's ship is heading towards itself, and it is strange that people do not panic, so when the Pride gradually approaches the pier trestle under the guidance of Xue Laixiang, the people in the vicinity begin to scatter and flee, and finally the entire dock business district becomes chaotic, the men are fleeing, the women are being wrapped up in the crowd and screaming, the babies are crying in their mothers' arms, the shops in the market are closed, the open-air stalls on the dock square are crowded because they have not had time to clean up, and the scattered goods are trampled by the fleeing people.

In a matter of moments, the dock square was deserted, except for a few cats and dogs haunting the cargo room......

At this time, Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo looked at the empty dock from a distance in the cockpit, and they couldn't laugh or cry - well, at least they achieved a good intimidation effect. However, Li Sanduo, who was a little helpless about this situation for a while, turned back to Zhu Beiguo and said:

"Brother Zhu, who are we going to negotiate with now? Who's doing business with us? ”

Zhu Beiguo looked at the dock and the city wall where there were no human figures in the distance, and responded for a while:

"It seems that the captives can only send a message to the city first......"

The letter had already been prepared.

Last night, dictated by Zhu Beiguo and written by Xue Laixiang, he wrote a note to the Kingdom of Sulu in the name of the Australian Federation.

The reason why Zhu Beiguo asked Xue Laixiang to hold the pen was because he felt that such a thing as a brush character was impossible for all traversers, including himself.

Nowadays, there is no computer printing, so the negotiation documents are handwritten.

It's okay to write by hand, the simplified Chinese characters that are missing arms and legs in one hand, once it is written, I am afraid that it will make the princes and adults of Sulu State laugh at us for not being educated, and the result is that we have not started negotiations, so I will lose points in this regard, Zhu Beiguo is unwilling, he doesn't want to be looked down upon by this group of people.

Although we claim to be Australians, we claim to be "after the cliffs" hundreds of years ago, and after all, we regard ourselves as Chinese sons and daughters, but what is embarrassing is that this group of people who claim to be Chinese sons and daughters are not even standard in the posture of holding a brush, let alone the writing of brush characters.

Moreover, once others find out that we can't write a neat calligraphy, we will immediately be thought by others as a group of barbarians who have never even attended a private school.

Well, although we don't think we are barbarians, but to be honest, we are still a little weak-hearted, after all, we can't write calligraphy, we can't read the Confucian classics without punctuation, and we still write Chinese characters with missing arms and legs.

Therefore, if this group of people appeared in this world, it would be good if they were not regarded by the world as Japanese people who used fake words, and now this group of people still regard themselves as authentic Chinese sons and daughters, obviously, it seems to be very unconvincing in this era.

In short, it doesn't matter what others think of him Zhu Beiguo, anyway, Zhu Beiguo himself is absolutely unwilling to show this cowardice and fall in front of a group of nobles from the Sulu Kingdom.

Since it is impossible to practice calligraphy, the best thing to do is to avoid it.

Also, this note article is aimed at the upper echelons of the Sulu Kingdom, although the Sulu Kingdom is a barbarian, but Dr. Zhu's historical knowledge, he knows that in the article calligraphy and other things, it is absolutely impossible to fool these so-called barbarians.

According to historical records, don't look at the Sulu country is located in the wilderness of the South Seas, but it is deeply influenced by the ancient imperial culture in the East, from the king to the well-educated literati, more or less will write and read some Chinese characters and Chinese books, many learned nobles can read the Confucian classics such as the "Analects" without punctuation marks - no way, this is the cultural characteristics of this era, there is a term in history called "Chinese cultural circle".

This "circle" includes Nanyang, in this circle, the Han cultural characteristics are so strong, looking up and down, the five words "Chinese cultural circle" are by no means called in vain.

Obviously, in this era, the ideology, culture and writing from Europe have not yet had much influence on this region, and the Chinese cultural circle of Greater China at this time is still very strong, for people in the middle and upper classes, being able to read Chinese and write Chinese characters is a status symbol, and that feeling is just like the aristocrats of European countries must know some French and write a few lines of French to be considered literate and compelling.

Therefore, from the East to the South Seas, large and small countries, for the upper class and scholars, the sign of being literate and compelled is to be able to read Chinese classics, and it is best to be able to write beautiful brush Chinese characters, which must be in traditional Chinese.

If you add a little poetry or something, then the force is even higher.

This fashion has been around for a long time, not to mention a handful of small countries such as Sulu, just like Japan and Korea in the East, Siam, Annam and Burma in the South Seas, and Manchurian and other big countries, the upper class of society also wants to learn Chinese, and the enlightenment teachers of the royal family must teach the princes and princesses to read and write Chinese classics, otherwise, one day when they go to the heavenly kingdom to pay tribute, if they can't even write a congratulatory article well, or the emperor's edict can't understand it, they will be despised by others and uneducated.
