The fall of Kupang into the hands of the Dutch Far East Fleet was completely predictable.

After the ocean-going fleet opened the impenetrable gates of Kupang Port and began landing operations, it advanced to the port in an orderly and orderly manner, and then the governor of Kupang Port decided to surrender.

And Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue, who wanted to resist stubbornly, although he had the duty to defend the homeland, he couldn't stand the fact that the mayor of the port town and the soldiers under him were limited by their lack of strength and could not resist stubbornly, so they had lost the will to continue fighting, and finally chose to surrender.

In the perception of Westerners, surrender is not an unacceptable fact, and there is a clear preferential treatment policy for prisoners of war, and the more noble the status, the better the treatment can be obtained, so at this time, the mayor and non-commissioned officers of Kupang Port value their lives more than dignity.

"Colonel Lincoln, are you trying to sow discord between the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of the Netherlands? Your attack on our colonies this time is enough to cause a war between you and me!! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue, who had been reduced to a prisoner, still did not give up threatening Colonel Lincoln, and tried in vain to make Colonel Lincoln retreat through words.

But he didn't know that Colonel Lincoln, who had already captured Kupang Harbor at this time, had no way to retreat, and the contradictions between the two sides had long been a foregone conclusion.

"I'm just trying to track down the pirates who attacked my Dutch East India Company's ships, and if I really misunderstand you, I'll give you an explanation."

Colonel Lincoln had already sent people to search the port for the pirate ships recognized by Persian Zheng Zhilong, and sent another team of men into the harbor to search for the traces of the pirate sailors and leaders.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Lincoln frowned and made his own statement: "However, if we find evidence in your harbor, then we need you and your Excellency the Governor to give us an explanation, a reasonable explanation!" ”

Seeing a group of strong Dutch soldiers boarding the port pirate ship that had not had time to destroy without any confusion, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue was already in a cold sweat behind his back, and the next threat from Colonel Lincoln did not bring much pressure to Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue.

However, George, the mayor of Kupang Harbor, who was unloaded and stood obediently with Fei Jue, found a reason for the Dutch fleet to attack him at this time.

"Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue, what the hell are you doing behind the scenes? Why is this happening? ”

"Wait, wait until Governor Falls knows what you have done, and see what he does to you!"

While cursing and reprimanding Lieutenant Colonel Feijue, Mayor George did not forget to clear up his relationship with Colonel Lincoln.

"Colonel Lincoln, I don't know anything about pirates in Kupang, and I will never think anything about your cargo ships, so I hope you can restrain your warriors and really hurt everyone's peace."

"If there is really evidence of collusion with pirates, the Timor Governor's Office will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Quiet!"

Regardless of whether Fei Jue and George were acting with each other, or if it was really as Mayor George said, most of the people in their town did not know, and what Colonel Lincoln, who had already controlled the situation at this time, wanted to know most was the news of pirates, and his impatient glaring suddenly interrupted the farce in front of him.

"Your Excellency!"

The search for the pirate ship in the port was handled by Zheng Zhilong, and when he came to report to Colonel Lincoln with a gloomy face, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue already felt that it was very bad.

"Did you find anything?"

Colonel Lincoln looked at Zheng Zhilong with a hopeful expression, if there was no sign of piracy in Kupang Port, then his attack on the Spaniard-controlled colony for no reason would inevitably cause protests from the Spaniards in the Indonesian archipelago, and at the same time, it would also change the situation that was in the balance at this time.

Even if they found a pirate clue in Kupang at this time, the mere fact that they were attacking the Spanish territory would have had a profound impact on the current situation of peaceful coexistence.

"The cargo carried on the ship should be part of the five cargo ships that we have disappeared, but there is one more thing that you need to confirm in person!"

Zheng Zhilong nodded slowly, and truthfully reported the information he had obtained on the ship with his own people on the ship.

Fei Jue's whole body almost went limp, and the only thought in his mind was that the matter was exposed, and what Zheng Zhilong asked Colonel Lincoln to confirm on the ship at this time must be to ask him to identify the dozen or so corpses that began to decompose in the cabin.

"I didn't do it, these are the pirate gangs in this sea area, their leader is called Jack, and he has ...... under him."

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue could no longer hold on, if Colonel Lincoln saw that the corpses on the ship really belonged to their East India Company, then in the case of annoyance and anger, Fei Jue did not dare to imagine what the other party would do.

"Shut up!!"

Zheng Zhilong drew his long knife at the right time and stared at the Spanish lieutenant colonel in front of him murderously, as if he was affected by more than a dozen corpses on the ship, and had a murderous intention towards Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue.

“……”

Colonel Lincoln looked meaningfully at the Spanish lieutenant colonel who had already surrendered, and at the same time was even more curious about what they had found on the ship.

"Watch them out!"

After Colonel Lincoln gave the order to the soldiers around him, he turned around and followed Zheng Zhilong to the pirate ship in the dock area.

"This—this should be the captain of the Flying Violet!"

The stench of decaying corpses in the cabin filled the room, and people had to hide their snorts and resist the reaction of wanting to turn their stomachs, Colonel Lincoln, who frowned, pointed to one of the corpses after carefully identifying them among a dozen corpses.

"He once had a three-inch scar on his stomach from encountering a gang of pirates. Look, the old scar on this corpse is exactly the same as the location he showed me earlier! ”

Colonel Lincoln identified the true identity of a corpse, which meant that the remaining dozen or so corpses should also be sailors and captains hired by the missing East India Company.

At this time, Colonel Lincoln's face showed a look of relief, and at the same time, he became extremely angry because of the appearance of more than a dozen corpses.

"This group of pirates' ships is still in the port, which means that they should still be in the port, send me someone to continue the search, and anyone who resists will be killed!"

Colonel Lincoln, who had been quite restrained by the influence of more than a dozen corpses, no longer had to worry too much at this time, with these evidences, at least it proved that the clues they were tracking now were correct, then the attack on Kupang Port would presumably have the support of Governor Dandel!
