254 The so-called Yang Conspiracy
"Alas, Captain Shi, what do you think this Dutch will do? Did you find out that we were going for the right purpose? ”
In the waters of Indonesia, there was no longer a fleet of the Flying Dragons to hide their movements, but they were slowly moving towards the strait area where Puzhong was located.
Without the smell of gunpowder, Shi Peicai, Zheng Zhilong and the three of them gathered on a sea boat, enjoying a rare leisure, and catching fish in the stern.
While fishing, Lu Yi, who was still thoughtful, couldn't help but start asking Shi Peicai, the think tank.
"I don't know about this, in fact, we are locked up for Yangmou, no matter how the other party chooses, in fact, it is beneficial to us in the end, who let us occupy the advantage now!"
Shi Peicai squinted his eyes and leisurely observed the float on the water, and said meaningfully: "We are now Jiang Taigong fishing--the one who wishes to take the bait." ”
"Hehe, it's still Captain Shi, you're amazing!"
Zheng Zhilong has only now digested the huge plan that Shi Pei had revealed to her before, and at the same time figured out what purpose Hongmen was hiding behind their support.
Of course, this purpose is an excellent help for the Wyvern Gang, at least in the short and medium term, but in the long run, having more of them is a constraint.
What is the use of Prozhong to complete the show of goodwill to the other forces in Europe, and finally through the establishment of the United Joint Stock Company to make everyone finally come to the table, complete the division of power in the waters of Malacca, Indonesia, and the formulation of rules.
In fact, in the end, isn't it just that they Hongmen and the Shark Gang intervened in Indonesian waters together to achieve their goal of influencing the waters of Malacca, Indonesia?
Otherwise, why did he Shi Peicai suddenly abandon such a plan until now, so that he had to follow their wishes.
And the articles of association and treaty about the United Stock Company that he threw out later, he Zheng Zhilong didn't believe it, it was he Shi Pei who was able to write it in a short period of time and make it so perfect.
Hongmen said nicely, what is just to clear the changes that the Europeans may bring, but in fact, isn't it ready early in the morning, inserting their layout in the Indonesian sea and increasing their influence?
"Gang Leader Zheng, you don't have to be so angry, to be honest, from the perspective of interests, although our Hongmen and Crazy Shark Gang are suspected of going back on their word in this matter, but in the end, it is your Flying Dragon Gang that benefits the most."
"At best, we will get some more benefits by the way, but fundamentally speaking, it is not a breach of the covenant with your money!"
"Well, you didn't think about capturing Puluo at the beginning, but now if the plan is successful, you will also have an important economic source and an important stronghold on the island for nothing, why not do it!"
Shi Peicai smiled innocently and explained Zheng Zhilong.
"Hmph, I'm on your thief ship, and now I can't get off if I want to, so I can only follow you all the way to the dark!"
However, Zheng Zhilong is also a hero after all, and the abacus in his heart is clear, and he has already analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly.
"But what Lu Yi said just now is not unreasonable, if this Dutch is really calm and doesn't eat us, then what should I do?"
Along the way, they unleashed too many clues, and if the Dutch didn't know what was going on with the commander, then they would have to think deeply about whether the things that had been calculated for so many years were because the other party was smart or because they were stupid.
But they had traveled more than halfway there, and they had been slowing down, but they had not heard any news from the rear that the Dutch fleet had left the harbor.
This really made Zheng Zhilong and Lu Yi a little unbreathable, after all, if the Dutch people didn't get hit, even if they occupied Prozhong and couldn't destroy the living force of the enemy fleet, then in the long run, their danger was not lifted!
"The plans of the Dutch are obvious, the other side has obviously seen through our purpose, and they only want to hold on until they unite the forces of the other forces of the Westerners and re-assemble a fleet that can pose a threat to us, and then they will come out to fight us."
Shi Peicai was not surprised, the more cautious the other party was, it showed that their previous defeat was not unjust.
"Then what should we do, we can't just watch each other be turtles with shrunken heads, right?"
Lu Yi was in a hurry, if Shi Pei said this, then the situation they had to deal with next would not be easy, I am afraid that it would be another tough battle to fight.
"So what, if they are willing to give up Puzhong, we should gladly accept it, and when the time comes, relying on the fortifications of Puzhong, plus our fleet, will they still lose to them?"
Zheng Zhilong was also arrogant, and replied confidently.
"Yes, as I said before, our plan is a conspiracy, no matter how the other party responds, in the end, we are always the one who benefits the most."
Shi Peicai agreed with Zheng Zhilong's point of view and comforted Lu Yidao: "If the other party gives up Puluozhong, then we will eat this delicious flatbread, and then block the entire Strait of Malacca, and no one can pass through except our Han fleet." ”
"When the time comes, it's those hairy devils who should be in a hurry."
"At the same time, if we let the wind go again, we will say that we are willing to run Pulozhong with other Western merchants, but the necessary condition is that the other foreigners must draw a line with the Dutch."
"Then we, Hongmen, will use our own channels to send a few representatives to show up in the governor's palace of the other foreign colonies, and we will not ask the other party to receive them, as long as the Dutch spies can detect this and inform them of the upper echelons."
"I don't believe that if the other party doesn't leave a shadow in their hearts, then their already weak alliance foundation will collapse step by step."
"High, really high!"
Lu Yi looked at Shi Peicai with admiration on his face, and said with a thumbs up.
"Hehe, this plan didn't come up with me, but it took more than a month for the senators of our Hongtang Counselor's Office to come up with it."
Shi Peicai explained embarrassedly that he didn't have the cheekiness to accept that it wasn't his own credit.
"Hmph, I knew that!"
Zheng Zhilong muttered, although Lu Yi didn't hear it too clearly, but Shi Pei on the side listened to it at that time, and then looked at him with a simple and apologetic look, so that Zheng Zhilong couldn't get angry because of this.
