Upon returning to the East India Company's headquarters in Batavia, Cohen convened an all-hands meeting directly in the conference room.

Of course, just as democracy is always represented by a small number of people, the so-called plenum is not really attended by many people, only the middle and upper levels of management.

After everyone arrived, Cohen glanced at everyone before taking two puffs of his pipe, and then said lightly, "Get ready, we're going to give up here." ”

Armand immediately asked, "Your Excellency, when will we return?" Or rather, do we have any hope of coming back? ”

Cohen let the smoke fill his hands and smiled, "I'll definitely be back!" This time, I gave them a map of the Spanish sea area and military intelligence, and I also attached a map of the sea area of the British.

Presumably, for a long time in the future, these navies of the Ming Kingdom will be exhausted.

Moreover, the Spaniards and the British, who themselves were interested in the East, took the opportunity to get them all moving. ”

As soon as Cohen's words ended, there was a burst of laughter in the entire conference room.

Spain was originally the suzerainty of the Netherlands, and it can be said that the entire East India Company was originally under the jurisdiction and exploitation of the Spaniards.

But as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Spain lost to the Netherlands in the last match, they are still far from breaking their bones.

Even now, the Netherlands cannot stand up in front of Spain, and in the face of the Spanish threat, they must deal with it with all their might.

In case Spain goes crazy and wants to kill the Netherlands, it's really hard to say who will kill the deer.

Cohen's gameplay happened to lure the powerful Ming navy to the Spaniards.

The two are battling, and no matter who wins or loses, the Dutch can reap some benefits in it.

If the Spaniards lost, the Netherlands could go into trouble with the Spaniards with the Ming army, and by the way, bite a piece of meat from the Spaniards.

And if the navy of the Ming Kingdom loses, it will be even more perfect.

Even if they were still enemies in the first place, but in the face of the rich Ming land, the Spaniards would definitely be very interested.

Not to mention that Cohen also dragged the British into the water with him.

Patting the table, Cohen continued, "Gentlemen, don't be busy rejoicing, we have a lot of things to do right now!" ”

Armand said curiously, "What else is going on?" Isn't it time to pack up and go back to the Netherlands? ”

Cohen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my dear Armand. In the agreement with the Ming people, there was no provision that we should go back to Holland.

We will definitely have to send some of our employees back to the Netherlands, but we will also open a new headquarters in the vicinity, a little further away from the Ming Kingdom.

Don't forget, we still owe the Ming people seven million taels of silver! ”

Armand laughed and said, "So, Your Excellency the Governor is willing to repay them the seven million taels of silver?" ”

Cohen didn't feel strange that Arman Mao was able to guess his own thoughts, and it was strange that he couldn't guess: "Of course, today next year will be our first repayment date."

However, although I plan to repay the loan, it depends on whether the navy of the Ming Kingdom has the strength to receive this repayment at that time? ”

After a few more puffs, Cohen knocked his pipe and continued, "Also, I think we should contact the Portuguese." ”

Armand looked at Cohen curiously: "Mr. Governor, we didn't have any contact with the Portuguese before, and they were not happy with our previous monopoly of Formosa?" ”

Cohen nodded: "It's normal for them to be dissatisfied, after all, such a big piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite."

It's just that we have the upper hand in Formosa, and they only get a small piece of shelter, and they always have to worry about being caught and spanked by Ming officials.

However, the situation is completely different from the previous situation.

According to the news that the Governor received from the Ming people, the Portuguese who lived in the Ming Dynasty had been killed! ”

St. George exclaimed, "Why? These Portuguese also provoked the people of the Ming Kingdom? ”

Cohen shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, these Portuguese are very honest, but they have suffered because of the misdeeds of those Spaniards, just like us."

It's just that we are far away from Daming, so there is still something to talk about, and those Portuguese were killed without even having a chance to resist and distance. ”

Armand exclaimed, "God! That's cruel! The Portuguese did not make a mistake at all, so why kill them all? Just because they look like us? ”

Cohen nodded and confirmed Armand's statement: "Although I don't admit it, I have to admit that the Portuguese suffered because they looked like us, and they were also called Francois by the Ming Kingdom."

As for now, we have two common enemies with the Portuguese, one is the Ming Kingdom and the other is Spain.

Don't forget, the Portuguese are also at odds with the Spanish now, and they want to be as independent as we are. ”

Armand pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Common interests and common enemies should be able to make those Portuguese abandon their previous hostilities." I just don't know what the Governor's plan is? ”

Cohen said: "Naturally, I learned from the three countries in the history of the Ming Kingdom.

First of all, we can unite the Portuguese against the Spaniards, and even help the Ming navy against the Spaniards.

When the Spaniards are no longer strong enough to pose a threat to us, we can pull the Spaniards together against the Ming navy.

You know, whether it's Spain or Portugal, these two guys have coveted the wealth of the Ming Kingdom for a long time! ”

Knowing Cohen's intentions, Armand then asked, "What about us?" Batavia is going to be handed over to the navy of the Ming Kingdom, and if we don't go back to the Netherlands, where should we choose as our new headquarters? ”

Cohen smiled, "Wherever it is, we still have three months to pick and choose slowly."

There are so many islands here, as long as we are far away from the Ming fleet, we can find another island as our new headquarters. ”

After saying that, Cohen remembered another thing: "By the way, contact all the merchants in this neighborhood and sell all the millions of taels of silver that we have accumulated in our hands at a low price for the construction of our new headquarters!" ”

Seeing that Cohen had already planned everything, the others naturally had no opinions, and after they dispersed, they were busy with the things that Cohen ordered.

After all, whoever it was was a little scared of the twelve warships on their doorstep - even though they had been snatched from someone else.

But it doesn't matter, if you give up here, you can still snatch another one back from someone else's hands.

But Sanchez is not as open as Cohen and others.

As the governor of Luzon, Spain, a veteran maritime power, Sanchez has been planning how to bite a piece of meat from Daming's body.

After all, even his own original horse boy Holland was able to bite such a big island as Taiwan from Mingguo, why can't the Spanish Empire bite a piece of meat?

And the current situation, not to mention biting a piece of meat, even Luzon, which has been operating for many years, has to give up together, how can Sanchez balance in his heart?

Sanchez was not too surprised by the news that Acuña had brought back the Dutchman himself.

Although Sanchez did not know that the Ming East Sea Fleet had bypassed Luzon and fled to Batavia to trouble the Dutch, the pirates alone were enough to give the Dutch a headache.

Sanchez has a deep understanding of the fighting power of the Ming pirates.

Since the Dutch were no longer reliable at this time, they had to rely on themselves.

But Sanchez was depressed to find that his plan on his own did not seem to be very reliable.

You can't fight with firearms, you can't fight with cold weapons, how can you rely on this?

After kicking Acuña out of his office, Sanchez slumped in his chair and pulled open a drawer to pull out his pipe, which he usually avoided.

After a few puffs in a row, Sanchez, who was choking on cough and tears, put down his pipe - more than ten years of hard work, with the massacre he ordered, all over.

The army of the Ming Kingdom will not stop attacking because of its regrets.

And Spain's invincible army in Europe looked so ridiculous at the moment that even the Ming army could not resist several rounds of attacks.

It's time to make your own choice.

At the same time that Sanchez had the idea of running away in his heart, Shen Zhenjiang also vaguely felt that these barbarians might want to run.

Through the intensity of the artillery fire of those Franco-machine barbarians in the recent period of time and the fact that they have played all kinds of attack tricks, Shen Zhenjiang feels almost the same.

After all, the level and equipment of those barbarians fighting are clearly there, and they obviously don't have the courage to fight to the end, so if they don't run away quickly, I'm afraid that they won't even have a chance to run in the future.

After summoning a few leaders from other guards, Shen Zhenjiang said directly: "Those barbarians are almost there. The general order of the commander of the book will start tomorrow, and all the guards will advance twenty miles, forcing those barbarians to end! ”

Li Dejiang had some different opinions: "Why bother? It's just a little bit of pushing, wouldn't it be more refreshing to kill a few more barbarians? ”

After glaring at Li Dejiang, Shen Zhenjiang spoke: "You know a fart!"

What kind of place is that, the Northern Imperial Forest Army led by the East China Sea Fleet has forced the Dutch barbarians to surrender, and we are still grinding here, are you planning to follow those grandsons of the Northern Royal Forest Army to eat fart?

When the time comes, when we return to Daming, what credit can we have? Even if there is, but such a brilliant opportunity is gone, will you be willing? ”

Zheng Zhilong on the sea didn't know about the mess on Luzon Island, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

The official document sent by the East China Sea Fleet that he was holding in his hand was what really made him angry.

Isn't it just robbing a wave of heads, as for holding grudges against Lao Tzu until now!

After ordering someone to go down to entertain the letter for dinner, Zheng Zhilong also gathered his henchmen together.

As for Zheng Zhilong's mood of wanting to kill these Franco-machine barbarians as soon as possible, regardless of whether it is Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng, these brothers, or other sworn brothers, they all understand it.

However, it is of no avail.

Nan Juyi took shit luck, those Dutch barbarians chose to surrender without any resistance at all, and the Francois barbarians on their side are still holding on.

What can the big guy do?

Zheng Zhilong set his eyes on Zheng Zhifeng, who had the most ghost ideas: "Old Five, what do you think?" ”

Zheng Zhifeng bowed down and said: "The barbarians on Admiral Nan's side surrendered without resistance, it's just luck, why should the eldest brother compare his anger with Admiral Nan at this time?" ”

Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "I want to be angry with the old man Nan!" Isn't it just to kill a wave of Dutch barbarians before him? This old man is still sending someone to humiliate me, and he will not break with him! ”

Zheng Zhifeng said helplessly: "Even so, it is not a matter of a day or two to clean up the barbarians in Luzon, so I can't wait!" ”

Zheng Zhilong just wanted to say something more, but the soldiers outside the cabin walked in and bowed: "Lord Admiral, the commander of the Southern Imperial Forest Army sent Shen Zhenjiang to send a battle report!" ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't care about Nan Juyi's sullenness now, and after walking down from his seat directly, he picked up the battle report and read it.

Zheng Zhifeng and the others found that Zheng Zhilong's face was getting better and better, so they guessed that it must be good news in the battle report, but they didn't know how good it was.

Could it be that this Franco-machine barbarian can't hold on?

Just as he was guessing, he heard Zheng Zhilong command loudly: "Pass on the general order of the governor, strengthen the nearby sea patrol, and pay attention to the movements of the barbarians."

In addition, if the barbarians escape by boat, they are not allowed to sink them directly, but only chase the barbarians until they reach their homeland! ”

Zheng Zhifeng stopped: "Big brother, it's naturally no problem for us to chase all the way over, but the ammunition on this battleship may not be enough, right?"

What's more, the Southern Imperial Forest Army still has to stay behind to clear the remaining barbarians in Luzon, let's go directly to attack their port, I'm afraid it's not realistic? ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Zheng Zhifeng and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, it turns out that you also have times when you are stupid!"

Think about it, can we all go with these ships? How many must not be left behind? It's impossible for those guys from the guard to bring it, relying on a few people like us to fight a country? What do you think? ”

Zheng Zhifeng looked at Zheng Zhilong with a bewildered expression - I don't want to beat you to make a yarn? Traveling with someone?

In fact, Zheng Zhilong's idea is really to follow the trip: "Let's follow those barbarians all the way to see how they run back to their lair, and by the way, we can also see where there are more barbarians along the way."

When the time comes, write down the route, and go whenever you want to trouble them in the future, why rush for a while? ”
