Chapter 169: Macao's Reply
A few days later, on the morning, Alan stood in the back garden of the Governor's Palace, dressed in Chinese clothes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Noronia, the fourth governor of Macau, sipped a glass of red wine.
"Mr. Allen." "Although you are English, you now represent the Dutch people of Batavia, so I would like you to convey my words to the governor of Batavia." On behalf of the Portuguese Empire, I lodge a grave protest against the fact that you attacked our Malacca and repeatedly harassed the shipping route from Macao to Goa, which had a serious impact on the interests of our Portuguese Empire. ”
After listening to the translation, Alan hurriedly stood up: "Dear Governor, I will bring your words down. But I am only a postman, and my task is to deliver letters, and it is not up to me to decide what our Lord Governor wants. ”
"I know that." Noronia beckoned, and a servant brought over a bamboo tube.
"This is my reply to your governor, and all we have to ask for is in it, and you just have to go back and deliver this letter to your governor." Noronia then asked, "Mr. Allen, how are you going to go back?" ”
"Your Excellency the Doge." Alan replied, "Our ship has sunk, and I was rescued here by a cargo ship, which needs to return to Batavia in a few days, and I can go back with them." ”
"Very well, Mr. Allen. Have fun in Macau, I'll find someone to be your guide. ”
On the morning of the next day, Alan carried a few gifts accompanied by the guide of the Governor's Office of Macau to the sales office of Yulin Bay Sugar Mill, and He Wendong was waiting for Allen at the sales office.
"Dear Mr. Ho." Alan held the gift up, "Thank you for saving my life at sea." According to your Ming customs, I am here to thank you today. ”
"Mr. Allen is gracious." He Wendong said through the translator on the side, "Our Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can we see death and not save it?" ”
Then he pointed to the person next to Allen: "This is 。。。。。。 ”
Before Alan could answer, the man preemptively said, "My name is Adele, and I am a friend of Mr. Allen. ”
"Does Mr. Adel speak English too?"
"I'm Scottish, I know something."
He Wendong smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "Both, you are patronizing, please take a seat." ”
"Mr. He, this." Eren held up the gift in his hand again.
"Mr. Allen is really polite." He Wendong stretched out his hand and took the gift, "Come on, take the gift to the back hall and watch the tea." ”
In the secret room in the backyard of the sugar mill, Xie Tian opened the gift, took out a bamboo tube from it and handed it to the Shinyuzaemon on the side.
"Hurry up and copy a copy, word for word, understand?"
He Wendong in the lobby was talking with Alan and Dayal, when a servant walked in from behind with a few things and whispered a few words in He Wendong's ear.
"Mr. Allen." He Wendong took the things in the servant's hand and handed them to Allen, "We Ming people have a saying that we don't want to be rude. These things are gifts from me to Mr. Allen, and I hope Mr. Allen will not be polite. Our ship will return to Batavia the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Allen will be able to take our ship back. ”
Alan accepted the gift from He Wendong: "Thank you very much, Mr. He, God will be with you." ”
After sending Alan away, He Wendong returned to the secret room of the sugar mill, and Xie Tian was the only one in the secret room.
"Lord Xie, they have already left, what else does Lord Xie command?" He Wendong asked respectfully.
"He Gongzi, you did a good job." Xie Tian took out a silver ingot from his clothes, "This is the principal's reward for you." ”
"No, no." He Wendong excused himself, "It's an honor for the villain to be able to do things for Lord Xie and the principal. ”
Xie Tian said solemnly, "I will report the situation here to Director He and the principal when I go back, and my identity He Gongzi already knows, so there is nothing to hide between us." ”
"The villain knows." He Wendong asked hesitantly, "Lord Xie, that villain's request Lord Xie。。。。。。 ”
Ho Wen-tung has been running this sales office in Macao these days, saying that he is engaged in intelligence, but there is not much information to be done in Macao. In addition to the 10 taels of silver per month set at the beginning, He Wendong has no additional income, but he likes to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and the 10 taels of silver are not enough to spend.
This time, Xie Tian came to Macao because Wei Yang personally accompanied him, and Wei Yang told He Wendong to use all resources to meet all Xie Tian's requirements. He Wendong secretly asked Wei Yang, who is this Xie Tian, and why even the old men of Yulin Bay have to listen to his orders. Wei Yang's answer to He Wendong was, just do things, don't ask more. Because he didn't know who this Xie Tian was, he only knew that what he was holding was a letter from the two committees to Wei Yang, asking Wei Yang to unconditionally meet all Xie Tian's requirements, which had the autographs of Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Guodong.
He Wendong was taken to heart, and asked Xie Tian's identity on the side. Xie Tian didn't hide too much and told He Wendong his true identity, because now with the gradual expansion of intelligence work, both Wang Hua and He Jiong felt that there was a serious shortage of people in the Second General Affairs Department. In particular, Operation Falcon and Operation Viper have begun, and this person has been sent out, but the contact network has not been established, so Wang Hua signaled that He Jiong can recruit some suitable personnel to be the periphery, and slowly expand the scale of the Second General Affairs Division, and this is how Henglu Keiji was developed into a periphery.
After He Wendong knew the status of the Second General Affairs Department and the power of the Second General Affairs Department, he couldn't wait to express to Xie Tian that he wanted to join this department.
"Don't worry." Xie Tian replied, "I'll talk to Director He and the principal personally when I go back, so I don't have to worry about it." ”
"Thank you, sir." He Wendong quietly stuffed the ingot of silver back into Xie Tian's hand, and the money that should be spent still had to be spent.
The original letter and translation of Shinyuzaemon were sent back to Yulin Bay by the flying pigeon.
Wang Hua sat in Zhang Guodong's office again, in front of a reply from the governor of Macao.
"It seems that the Portuguese have acceded to the Dutch's request." Zhang Guodong said after reading the letter.
"What a Munich agreement." Wang Hua said with a smile, "They think that they can defeat Zheng Zhilong by uniting, and they still want to carve up Southeast Asia?" ”
"How's that Ellen?" Zhang Guodong asked again.
"He's back in Batavia." Wang Hua replied, "Our ship sent him back, and we also have people following." ”
"How's that, insurance? Under what name our ship went to Batavia. ”
"Insurance. This time, in the name of a sugar mill, I went to Batavia to sell sugar. Wang Hua said, "Just take this opportunity to go to Batavia to have a look, we plan to set up a point in Batavia to get some information." ”
"Lao Wang, can you get busy?" Zhang Guodong was a little skeptical when he heard Wang Hua say this.
"No way, there's too much to do." Wang Hua explained, "I'm worried that something will go wrong if I send Alan back alone. This time, if the people we were with us could stay, they would stay, and if they couldn't, they would come back as soon as the Batavian warships left, and they wouldn't be delayed. ”
"Yes." Zhang Guodong thought for a while and asked, "How are the preparations for the affairs in Xiamen?" ”
"Preparing." Wang Hua replied, "The person has been found, and now it is being urgently trained, we have to pinch the time, Zheng Zhilong is not a child, the last time he came to Yulin Bay, I felt that this person is very shrewd." So we can neither let him not believe it, nor give him time to check the accuracy of this news, and the timing is very important. ”
"Lao Wang." Zhang Guodong smiled, "You were a major in the regular army in your last life, why do I think you are becoming more and more like a special agent now?" ”
"Huh." Wang Hua also smiled, "That's not for you to force Chairman Zhang Da, if you have to let me engage in intelligence, then I can only try my best to learn." But don't say it, this intelligence work is really interesting. ”
"Don't keep thinking about intelligence, these things should be let go." Zhang Guodong changed his words, "You are the principal of the military academy, and the work of this military academy is the main one, no matter how good the intelligence is, we will not be able to fight a tough battle in the future." ”
"I know that." Wang Hua asked, "What happened to the two things I told you last time?" ”
"I was about to tell you this." Zhang Guodong replied, "I discussed with Lu Lao and found someone to help you copy the documents." ”
"Who?"
"Do you remember that cold weather?"
"Cold ice?" Wang Hua thought for a while, "Is it Li Lin's husband?" The one who used to work on computers? ”
"Yes, that's him. He now works in an idle position in the Industrial Bureau. Zhang Guodong suddenly smiled when he said this, "In his previous life, he was doing business, and his daughter-in-law was a full-time wife, but now it's about to turn around, Li Lin is now successful in her career, and this cold weather is very unwilling." ”
"Does he agree with it himself?"
"I talked to him, and he agreed, you can find another time to talk to him, if it's okay, it's him."
"Okay." After Wang Hua finished speaking, he asked, "What about the expansion of the military academy?" ”
"I have already discussed that matter with Han Wantao and them, and when Jiang Beiming and them come back, our Military Commission will have a meeting together, and it will basically be decided." Zhang Guodong suddenly looked at Wang Hua and said with a smile, "Lao Wang, I want to upgrade the level of the military academy, you see that now these members of the Military Commission are either colonels or lieutenant colonels, only you are still a major." How to say that you were a retired major in your last life, and you are still a major in this life, it is always a bit unreasonable. At the beginning, there were few people in the military academy, so the battalion level was set, but now there are more people and more work, you see how about being promoted to the regimental level, you also get a colonel and lieutenant colonel. ”
"Haha." Wang Hua was a little excited in his heart, but he still covered it up, "What level is not level, what's the use of asking for that thing, doing a good job is better than anything." ”
"You don't care, but you have to think about the people under you. You, the principal, have always been majors, what about those directors and instructors, you can't even be promoted to a school officer. ”
"And." Zhang Guodong continued, "Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian both said that the mixed brigade will appoint a few Ming Dynasty people as battalion commanders and prepare to award the rank of major. ”
"Okay, Chairman Zhang." Wang Hua stood up, "Look at the arrangement, how can you say that you are the chairman of the Military Commission." ”
In Brother Pulian's patrol room, Li Xiao was holding the ledger and looking at it little by little. Li Xiao doesn't know much words, that is, he knew dozens of words when he was still in the security group, and this account book looks like a headache.
"Cao Lin." Li Xiao closed the account book that gave him a headache, "How can I collect so little money this month, it is 2% worse than in previous months." ”
"Head. They all cried with me. Cao Lin also had a sad look on his face.
"Crying poor? What else are they crying poor? Li Xiao slammed the ledger on the table, "These Annan people, are they playing tricks with us now?" It seems that they have forgotten what happened in the first place. ”
"Head, don't be angry." Cao Lin hurriedly poured Li Xiao a glass of water, and then said hesitantly, "Actually, head, there is a reason why the money is less this month." ”
"The reason? What's with? Li Xiao just picked up the teacup, and when Cao Lin said this, he put the teacup down again, "Cao Lin, don't hide it with me, if you have something to say." ”
"Head, since you asked, then I'll say it." Cao Lin was ruthless, "Those old men all went back for the New Year, but we patrols haven't even returned home for the New Year." Now that all this money has been collected and handed over without a penny of silver, we have no benefit at all, so now the following detectives have great opinions on catching heads, and they are not so careful to put away this money. ”
