"We, the Ming court, have promised to lease Hong Kong Island to you to live in, just like the Portuguese live in Macao for trade?"

Yang Dudu looked at the Dutch envoy in amazement.

"Yes, our envoy has already gone to Guangzhou to negotiate."

The messenger said.

"How did I not know?"

Yang Dudu said in confusion.

"Your Excellency, we have been invited by your officials, and we have received an invitation from your merchant ship in Pattani and have arrived in Lianzhou, where your envoys are waiting for us, and we are taking our envoys to Canton to negotiate with your officials. And we continue to the north, and at present our fleet is on its way, and we have come here as an advance party to await our envoy from Canton, and you do not know what you have to do with this island, but we have been invited by your officials. ”

The messenger said righteously.

"When did I invite you? I am the official here, I am the governor appointed by the Ming Emperor to serve the coastal military affairs, this is my defense area, as the highest military governor here, I have never extended any invitation to you. ”

Yang Xin said.

He had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Those officials in Guangzhou certainly did not have the courage to do so, so the only possibility is that someone made trouble from it, and it is difficult to say what the purpose was, but it was true that they deceived the Dutch.

"Are you kidding?"

The messenger looked at him solemnly and said.

"I'm not interested in joking with you, no matter who brought you here, you have no right to set foot on any islands and land in this area without my permission, this is the land of the Ming Emperor, and I, as the military governor of the Ming Emperor's dispatch here, will not allow any foreigner to set foot on the land here without permission.

Ten minutes for you.

Those who are with you will immediately withdraw to your ships.

Then get out of here and go back and tell your fleet commander to stop moving forward, and turn around where you want to go.

otherwise

I'm going to have to send you to the bottom of the sea. ”

Yang Dudu said in big pants.

"Your Excellency, I need to reiterate that it was your officials who invited us."

The Dutch messenger said.

The soldiers behind him raised their guns and blew the arquebuses in full swing.

Yang Xin looked at them speechlessly, and then moved forward, those soldiers did not hesitate to pull the trigger, but the next moment their target was in mid-air......

It was almost impossible for the arquebus to hit Yang Dudu head-on.

This thing pulled the trigger and the process of the fire rope falling to ignite the gunpowder took more than a second, and he could jump out of more than ten meters at the speed of Yang Dudu in a second, not to mention that he was still used to jumping, and Yang Dudu volleyed down in the spray of gunfire and gunsmoke. While the soldiers were still holding their guns up, he landed beside the outermost soldier and pulled out the dagger from the latter's waist, which slit the hapless soldier's throat before the latter could put his gun in place.

Blood spurted from the latter's neck.

The next moment the dagger slit the throat of the second soldier.

The remaining soldiers were in confusion, but as they scattered and fled, Yang Dudu still chased after them like maggots and slit their throats one by one.

In the blink of an eye, ten dead bodies fell.

The messenger was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't wake up until Yang Xin walked in front of him.

Then he fell to his knees with a limp.

He obviously wanted to be brave, but no matter how much he supported his hands, he couldn't get himself back on his feet.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, although this matter is very inexplicable, but I will definitely find out, but no matter what the final result is, you are not allowed to set foot on any islands and lands here without my permission, otherwise I will consider you an invader and kill you."

Yang Xin lowered his head and said to him with a pleasant face.

The latter lay there trembling......

"Don't get out of here, bring these dead bodies back by the way, don't stain my beach."

Yang Dudu shouted.

The messenger rushed to the front, and then suddenly sobered up, and quickly picked up a dead body, and looked at the scene of his hard work, Yang Dudu leisurely returned to the top of the mountain, and his godsister gnawed on the roasted hare, and watched the messenger carry all the dead bodies into the dinghy, and then rowed back to the sea alone, the three-masted galleon did not dare to stay any longer, and then turned to prepare to leave.

But at this moment, countless sail shadows appeared on the vast sea in the southwest.

"It's a bit big this time!"

Yang Dudu gnawed on the rabbit's head and stood up and said.

Indeed, this time it was a bit big, because in the following hour, twenty-four armed merchant ships gradually appeared on the sea, the largest of which was no less than twice the size of his cruisers, but the number of guns as an armed merchant ship was still small, ten guns on the middle deck, and eight on the bulwarks of the deck, that is to say, thirty-six guns of all sizes combined. The others were of various sizes, but the smallest was about the same as his cruisers, and the number of guns varied, most of them were about twenty guns, and three of them were more than thirty guns, but this strength was no weaker than that of his fleet.

This is beyond the original history of the Battle of Penghu.

Originally, the Dutch had a total of 17 warships and more than 900 soldiers.

The arrival of these armed merchant ships also alarmed the patrol fleet at the mouth of the Pearl River, and then a dozen centipede ships from Tuen Mun sailed out, and then two cruisers arrived, and this small fleet directly assumed a blocking posture under Davis Ridge.

"Your Excellency the Governor, damned Dutchman, these things that deserve to go to hell!"

Salazar said indignantly.

He was seconded by Yang Xin to Tuen Mun as the commander of the Tuen Mun blockade fleet.

"Aren't they the same god as you believe?"

Yang Xin said.

"No, no, Your Excellency the Governor, they are a blasphemy against the gods, who created the land and gave them a black sun, and these fallen souls, seduced by heresy, can only go to hell to be punished after death. We are believers in the true gods, our faith is pure, and unlike their heresies, I once went to Holland and killed four heretics with my own hands, and I still regard those days as the most glorious days. ”

Salazar said very seriously.

"Your heretics are coming!"

Yang Xin said.

A third group of Dutch envoys came in dinghys.

It's just that this is from the largest battleship with thirty-six guns, which is obviously the flagship of the fleet.

Soon the dinghy was escorted by two centipede boats, and by this time Yang Dudu had already changed into a python robe, and even set up a table on the beach, he sat on the Taishi's chair, watching the Dutch envoys being escorted in front of the Ming army, who were also heavily armed.

"You, act as a translator."

Yang Xin said to Salazar.

Salazar was stunned......

"This official officially receives them as the governor of the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Dudu said.

It didn't matter if it was informal before, and it was impossible to speak barbarian language in such formal diplomatic occasions.

Salazar, who knew Dutch, immediately stood beside Yang Xin in a translation posture, looking at the heretic who came over with a haughty gaze, and the heretic was also looking at him suspiciously, obviously Salazar in a Ming military uniform also made the Dutchman a little puzzled, but after confirming that this guy was an old believer, the envoy also put on a proud posture, and the two showed each other their arrogance like two fighting cocks.

"Kneel, this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, this is the Admiral of the Ming Empire, His Excellency Yang Xin, the Governor of the Coastal Region!"

Salazar shouted unceremoniously.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency should give us a reasonable explanation as an envoy to Admiral Rejouz, the commander of the fleet of the Dutch East India Company, and your officials in Canton have sent someone to invite us to come, but Your Excellency has blocked us and killed our soldiers?"

The messenger said.

I could see that he was in a very unhappy mood.

But it was really infuriating to them, and their merchant ship met a merchant ship of Li Dan in Pattani, who told them that the Ming magistrate in Canton had invited them to go north, and that they were willing to allow the Dutch East India Company to live on Hong Kong Island as they had allowed the Portuguese to live in Macau, and that they would be treated as they had been treated as the Portuguese had been treated. They immediately sent men to Batavia, and the governor of Batavia was equally pleased to mobilize all the armed merchant ships that could be mobilized, and even halted some of those who were supposed to return to Europe to form this fleet to the north.

Moreover, they arrived in Lianzhou under the leadership of Li Dan's merchant ship, where they met the Ming officials who were waiting to greet them.

Now I was completely convinced.

They immediately sent an emissary with a gift to the official to Canton.

At the same time, the fleet left Lianzhou and headed north, and sent an armed merchant ship to Hong Kong to investigate the environment and find a suitable anchorage for the fleet.

Then the fleet followed.

However, they got angry news here, a man on Hong Kong Island claimed to be the lord of Hong Kong and refused to land them, even killed many of their soldiers, and said that he was the highest military commander of the Ming Dynasty here, and he never said that they were allowed to live on Hong Kong Island. It is said that these Dutchmen had sailed thousands of kilometers from as far away as Batavia, and they had been invited by someone here, only to be told that there was no such thing at all......

Play with us?

Playing our Dutch East India Company as a monkey?

Treat the twenty-four warships and hundreds of cannons behind us as if they don't exist?

"You just made him kneel, didn't you?"

Governor Yang said to Salazar.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the last general will have him kneel for you."

Salazar said.

"Then why didn't he kneel?"

Yang Dudu said.

"Kneel, Huguenot, this is the land of the Ming Emperor, you lowly goods, you must kneel to His Excellency the Governor!"

Salazar Fox shouted in a pretending manner.

It was clear that he could tell the identity of this guy from the accent of the messenger's voice, and then Salazar, who had been in France for a while, called the messenger in French in the standard tone of an old French churchman.

The latter took a deep breath......
