When he arrived in Garon's office, he saw Garon sitting there thinking about things with a gloomy face, He Bin waited for a while before he said: "Lord Governor, when the villain and the coastal defense guerrillas were communicating about this matter, the fourth elder of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Hongkui, was also on the side, and he proposed a compromise method......

"Oh?" When Garon heard this, he immediately raised his head, his eyes radiated the light of hope, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of compromise method?" ”

When He Bin heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "Then Zheng Hongkui said to the coastal defense guerrillas, that is, his nephew, that during the absence of the Fujian sailors, the prohibition of maritime merchants going to sea is easy to cause dissatisfaction, and the Zheng family's losses will be great. Therefore, he suggested that he and the Governor make an alliance with the Governor, agreeing that during the absence of the Fujian Marines, we could not levy our ship tax, and we could not take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. ”

As soon as he heard this, Garon immediately said happily: "That's it? Yes, I'll write them a vow right away. ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, he went to get his quill and prepared to write.

However, He Bin immediately continued: "Your Excellency the Governor, they said that we must meet and make a covenant, otherwise, they said that we would deny it, saying that this oath was not written by you, and it may also be that you did not swear to God, everything is to deceive the Fujian sailors to leave early." ”

"......" When Garon heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his face full of anger, "Isn't it okay to stamp my governor's seal letter?" ”

"Lord Governor, the guerrilla who just came to Haiphong doesn't believe it, saying that unless he sees the Lord Governor swear a poisonous oath to God and writes the oath in his own hand, otherwise, he thinks that prohibiting maritime merchants from going to sea will make the Zheng family more profitable!" He Bin pretended to be a little angry and said.

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable......" Garon was very annoyed when he heard this, slapped the table, and shouted, "They are doubting my character! What a bully! Haven't they ever done this kind of thing? Without believing in his words, he said that he was talking about peace, but as a result, he detained people, which is really a bully! ”

"Yes, it's bullying you, do you take it or not?" He Bin lowered his head and secretly answered in his heart.

He was sure that if Taiwan's profits were greatly reduced, or even if there were no profits, the position of governor would definitely not be easy. Now in front of Garon, there are only two paths, one is to compromise, and the other is to go to war.

However, if they can beat the Fujian sailors, how can these Xiyi obediently surrender to the Zheng family and hand over the silver to obtain the Zheng family's order flag!

When he thought about it again, he heard Garon really roar: "That yellow-haired boy deceived me too much, aren't you afraid that I will go to war with them?" My Dutch ships are far faster than theirs, and the cannons are far better than theirs, haven't they thought about it......"

He Bin lowered his head and didn't say a word, just let him go crazy wherever he was.

“…… It is absolutely unforgivable to dare to doubt my character! Garon shouted angrily, unable to sit still, and stood up like a fly without a head, walking back and forth outside his office.

He Bin was happy in his heart, and at the same time secretly despised him: "What kind of character can you Yi people have? As long as the opponent is weak, you will use muskets and cannons to speak, and you will be deceived and deceived. There are still so many heads hanging out there, and you forgot about them? This is also the strength of the Zheng family, so there is such a pitiful appearance, and it feels like being bullied! ”

After Garon was angry for a while, he suddenly stood up and explained loudly to He Bin: "You go, gather those leaders, give them orders, and increase taxes at the end of this year, as long as I survive this time, if I have a big income in the future, I will give them tax reductions and exemptions!" ”

Hearing this, He Bin understood that this was a fear of reduction, and he was thinking about staying up until the Fujian Navy Division was transferred. But it's useless, because the Fujian sailors won't really go to North Korea at all.

He Bin thought in his heart, so he immediately agreed, and then pretended to be diligent and hurried to do something.

Actually, it's a chain of schemes. It doesn't matter if Garon doesn't agree, in order to complete his task, he can't collect money from the maritime merchants, and he will inevitably increase his taxes. Originally, the levy on the people of Taiwan was high, and if it was increased further, it would inevitably cause anger and resentment. In this way, when the Fujian Navy Division turned back to attack Taiwan, it was smoother.

Sure enough, after Garon raised the tax, even if there were so many heads hanging there, even if He Bin really had to communicate with those leaders for the Dutch, it couldn't stop the anger of the Taiwanese people from getting stronger and stronger.

This eighteen-year New Year of Chongzhen, no one has ever thought about it. Because Garon saw that he could not collect taxes, and those untouchables were in arrears, he sent his army to grab things to pay taxes at the door of the Chinese New Year, and arrested people if they had nothing.

In the middle of this, it is inevitable that those Dutch devils will do evil and do wrong. Snatching things, beating people, killing people, doing unforgivable things to women, etc., are all things that are easy to do.

Finally, one village could not stand the intensification of the Dutch, and when he knew that the Dutch devils were going to enter the village, he ambushed the Dutch devils, killed one and wounded three, and the whole village ran into the mountains and hid.

Garon's side couldn't help but be furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent people to gather other leaders and ask them to send people to search the mountains with the Dutch army, and to severely punish those Taiwanese people who dared to rebel and make an example.

However, how could those leaders do something for the Dutch, it was in vain. And they are also complaining, saying that they will not be able to live anymore and cannot raise taxes anymore.

On the Dutch side, even after they started to grab things, they still couldn't collect enough taxes, and Garon's panda eyes are getting deeper and deeper these days, and they are becoming more and more similar.

Finally, on this day, he received a tip-off that the Fujian Navy Division had not left yet, and was still preparing for it and did not set off, so he couldn't sit still anymore and called He Bin over: "You go across the sea again, tell that damn coastal defense guerrilla, and say that I agree to the conditions they put forward, but I will not go to the mainland, and the place of the meeting will be chosen by me!" Otherwise, don't force me to die, hum! ”

"Your Excellency Governor, that new coastal defense guerrilla is not easy to talk to!" When He Bin heard this, he did not agree immediately, but reminded, "Don't forget, Lord Governor, they don't believe you and doubt you!" ”

Garon's face turned red when he heard this, and he roared and said, "I'm here to do business, as long as there is money to be made, what do you care about?" You go, tell that hairy boy, if you really want to tear your face, I will definitely ask Batavia for help, ask for more troops, and see how much capital their Zheng family has to fight with my Dutch fleet!" ”

Although he was roaring and his voice was very loud, He Bin could still hear his lust at once. have been mixed with these red-haired ghosts for so many years, how powerful these red-haired ghosts are, who doesn't know who!

He Bin thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he echoed it again and again, with a look of righteous indignation, and he was unhappy for his master. In the end, he promised again and again that he would bring the words of the Governor-General.

In this way, He Bin once again justifiably left Taiwan and went to Xiamen again to deliver news.

During the period when Garon was waiting for news, the Taiwanese people were rebounding more and more strongly about increasing taxes, and he was very annoyed by this, and said viciously to the leaders of various ethnic groups: "It should be that those heads outside are already rotten, so it won't have much effect, right?" If anyone dares to go against my will, I don't mind getting a fresh batch of heads, how about that? ”

In this regard, of course, no leader dared to oppose it on the spot, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. The anger against the Dutch is also accumulating.

On this day, He Bin finally came back, and his face was a little unsightly. It's not pretending, it's real.

He didn't expect that Zheng Chenggong asked him to use his status as a trusted and general minister by Hongyi to hold the Dutch governor Garon hostage when he made the oath.

I have to say, this thing is a bit dangerous. But he had no way out, so he had to do it. However, what made him a little relieved was that the risks were high and the benefits were many, Zheng Chenggong agreed in person, and he could be a subordinate of the Zheng family and get a share of the three-year income.

"What's the matter, the yellow-haired boy has agreed, so Zheng Hongkui shouldn't care, right?" As soon as Garon saw He Bin, he immediately asked. Eagerness, not too obvious.

When He Bin heard this, he started the performance according to the script he had said in advance, and immediately said with a little indignation: "Then Zheng Chenggong still has doubts about the Governor, and I am afraid that as soon as the Fujian sailor leaves, you will change your hexagram." But fortunately, Zheng Hongkui persuaded him, and finally agreed to the governor's request. ”

At first, Garon's face changed when he heard it, but in the end, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. I feel in my heart that the old people are still reliable, just those young people, they don't know how thick the sky is, they don't know how high the cost of fighting a war is, if they really want to fight, who can settle down?

So, Garon chose a place to meet in the Penghu Islands, and asked for it as soon as possible.

When this request was passed and He Bin returned again, he was accompanied by several merchant ships. I heard He Bin smile and said to Garon, who was a little unexpected: "Your Excellency, this is the Zheng family's sincerity in believing in us, so before the oath was made, we will first release the sea ban." ”

Garon smiled when he heard this, so it would be the best. Therefore, he immediately sent an order to mobilize three warships and go with him to the Penghu Islands to meet the new coastal defense guerrillas. By the way, he also prepared a meeting gift, ready to give it to Zheng Chenggong.

On this day, when the appointed deadline was reached, the morning sun was rising, and the waves were not big, so Garon hurriedly led the fleet to set off.

Seeing He Bin beside him, he was relieved, and finally there was nothing wrong with the last step.

Sometimes, however, God likes to joke. Just as Garon's fleet was about to leave the port, he saw two Western-style warships coming from the sea outside the port.
