Cai Feiming couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard Van der Hagen's fierce question at first glance. The next moment he laughed: the information he just gave, the Dutch probably thought about something. "Fan, is there an idiot in this world who returns the bride he snatched? As far as you know. ”

"Dear Cai, you must know that you attacked here when the senior was at his weakest, and you got what you didn't deserve, you know the strength of the East India Company, you must know right? Now is the best chance to make amends! ”

"Weak ......" Cai Feiming first showed a smile after hearing this, and then said to him in a tone that had lost his wallet: "No hurry, let's review first: On June 24 this year, Mr. Peter Noiz, the newly appointed third governor, went to Japan as soon as he arrived to save the increasingly severe trade relations between the Netherlands and Japan, and has not returned, right?" ”

After seeing Van der Hagen nodding, Cai Feiming continued: "That is to say, after that, the temporary prefect of the senior is temporarily taken over by the second prefect who has already stepped down, Mr. de Weis. Here's the problem: when we came to occupy Daguan half a month ago, you were the temporary governor, and Mr. Weiss had already led the fleet to eliminate the first official at the invitation of Yu, the supreme military governor of Fujian, right? ”

"What does this mean?" Van der Hagen thinks he has found the crux of the matter: "You occupy this place, you have all the documents and letters, you know everything. ”

"Alas, poor Fan, you always get caught up in your own ridiculous speculations, let me tell you something that is not recorded in the papers." Cai Feiming said in a slightly pitiful tone: "Mr. Weiss, who you and the other scumbags who are working so much, have returned to Batavia, and I am sorry to disappoint you, he will not come back." ”

"It can't be! You're lying! Van der Hagen called.

"Six days earlier, Mr. Weiss had led a Dutch fleet on Copperhill Island and had been attacked by fireships in a battle with a pirate regiment of the First Officer. Mr. Weiss escaped and sailed straight to Batavia, where the speedboat Owok was burned, and the Sicapel and the other four ships were captured by an officer. Cai Feiming said this, spreading his hands: "You see, the intelligence sources of the Kunlun people are far faster and more extensive than you imagined. Let's not forget that we are ancient aristocrats with huge, unknown channels in the Ming Kingdom. ”

Van der Hagen pondered for a while, then said with a little frustration: "Even so, Batavia's wrath will come sooner or later. ”

Cai Feiming slowly leaned closer, stared at Van der Hagen face to face and said, "You should know by now that we didn't come to Dayuan casually, right?" ”

Van der Ha wanted to refute at all, but in the end he nodded: "Maybe all the Ming people will help you because of your identity, and there are many Ming people." ”

"So, we waited until Mr. Weiss left with the main force before we came to the big man like a thief? Now, are you still holding on to this stupid idea, dear Fan? ”

...... Van der Hagen stammered. At this moment, the scene of the day of the fall of the Grand Soldier suddenly appeared in his head—a half-pounder cannon that spewed terrible flames and could kill 50 soldiers in an instant, a cannonball that exploded loudly when it touched the wall, and the short-barreled guns and long spears that the Kunlun people were generally equipped with and could fire continuously......

Van der Hagen opened his mouth several times, but he didn't speak.

"You've finally seen the essence of the problem." Cai Feiming showed the helpless expression after throwing away the wallet: "In the original plan, the object of our battle was Mr. Weiss and his fleet. But because of some damn delays, the fleet was postponed and finally came to the Chief, and Mr. Weiss, who was supposed to be sitting in front of me, was replaced by you, and his fleet was in the hands of a single officer! ”

Cai Feiming became more and more angry the more he spoke: "You think we are here to steal the money bag?" You're wrong! We've lost our purse, and Wess has lost all of our fleet! Seven boats, and those sailors! ”

Cai Feiming pointed to the red hair in front of him: "Now, you can go back, Mr. van der Hagen, today's exchange ends here." Also, if you can't face up to reality and still live in those hilarious fantasies and don't want to wake up, then we'll change people, or simply stop talking about it and wait for Nuiz to come back next month. ”

The first exchange between the two sides ended unhappily.

......

Cai Feiming walked out of the big office with a depressed face, muttering something all the way up the stairs to the fort in the northeast corner of the merchant house. This fort is tightly stuck in the channel mouth of the inland sea of the Taijiang River and the wharf of the merchant hall, and it has a wide field of vision, and it is the place with the widest view to look at the surrounding area and the main island of Taiwan.

The old Dutch guns in the prismatic turrets have long since disappeared, and in their place are naturally the M2 heavy machine gun crew. Due to the good view, it is common to find certain company executives here, such as CEO Xia.

"What, didn't you talk about it?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, Xia Xianze, who was looking out at the Taijiang Inland Sea with a telescope, looked back and saw that Cai Feiming's face was not very good, and it was estimated that the conversation might not go well.

"Encountering a brain-dead, this thing thinks we should return the captives and pay reparations."

"Hehe, that day at the door of the merchant house, Qi Brushing killed so many people, but he couldn't make him recognize the situation?" Xia Xianze was also puzzled after hearing this.

"Who knows?" Cai Feiming said angrily: "This is a horse boy, probably this thing has not had a chance to think about complex issues, if it really doesn't work, pull it down, and wait for Nuyizi to come." ”

Xia Xianze didn't answer, but raised the telescope and looked at it for a while, then handed the telescope to Cai Feiming: "Take a look, the first Western-style training ship in the Navy." ”

"Isn't this the Dutchman's speedboat? What is it called? Cai Feiming raised the telescope and looked at it

"Wilden." Now it has changed its name and is called "Chengfeng".

The Wilden was a Yahat ship – the Dutch word translates to "speedboat". This type of ship has a pointed head and a square tail, and there is no bow tower, which is characterized by its speed and low cost.

Unlike those who comically turn their ship into a flute-shaped ship with a small belly in order to pay less deck tax, the Ahhat ship has a shallow draft and is fast, making it suitable for service ships and expedition ships, and the Mayflower is a typical three-masted Ahat ship.

A group of Ming sailors were staggering in the Taijiang Inland Sea in the renamed "Chengfeng", and the sailors could clearly be seen climbing between the sail booms on the fort, but their movements in retracting the soft sails were still very clumsy.
