Anyway, the Dutch Governor of Batavia, Van Mendi, is coming violently, what will Zheng Zhilong, the Nanyang Governor of the Ming Empire, do? Is he ready?

Zheng Zhilong is naturally prepared, in fact, when Shi Daxuan came to start plundering Dutch and British and French merchant ships, he began to prepare to intercept Dutch merchant ships, but the Dutch merchant ships can't be stopped indiscriminately, after all, they have a strong anti-Habsburg alliance behind them, and they don't want to poke a big basket.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong has been preparing things to be planted, that is, the so-called "evidence", but he didn't expect that before his "evidence" was fully ready, a Jinyi Wei spy came to report that the Dutch had organized a huge fleet and was coming to the Strait of Malacca.

This fleet is terrible, there are more than 200 large and small warships, let them pass, Shi Daxuan will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so Zheng Zhilong gave an order, directly intercepted the Dutch fleet, and took the opportunity to go on the ship to inspect it, first plant some dirt casually, and detain the merchant ships, as for the remaining "evidence", it can be made according to the real thing!

Batavia is about 2,000 miles away from Star City Port, and at the speed of a sail warship, it will take four or five days to reach it at the earliest, that is to say, from Van Del's return to the door to Van Mendi's approach, there will be at least ten days during this period.

Ten days is enough time to create countless "evidence", Zheng Zhilong prepared a lot of feasts, waiting for the Dutch to come and eat.

In the past ten days, the soldiers of the Ming Empire have been on the ship to inspect almost every day, and the employees of the Dutch East India Company are simply annoyed, but there is no way, the ships have been towed to other people's territory, and they have not directly robbed It's already considered civilized, just check it, what do you dare to say.

The soldiers of the Ming Empire inspected very carefully, and almost all the packages of goods had to be opened and carefully inspected, although the employees of the East India Company had been staring at them throughout the whole process, but there were too many people who came up to check, and they really couldn't take care of all of them, and the soldiers of the Ming Army did not want to steal their things, but wanted to stuff things into them, so they were unfortunate and hit again and again.

After a while, a wooden plaque was found in the spice bag, which belonged to a certain merchant in Daming, and happened to be in the list of looted items;

After a while, a piece of cardboard was turned out of the bag of rice, which belonged to a certain merchant in Daming, and it happened to be in the list of looted items;

After a while, a mark was found on the bag of cane sugar, which belonged to a certain merchant in Daming, and it happened to be in the list of looted items;

More and more stolen goods were found, and all kinds of "evidence" appeared in an endless stream, although these stolen goods did not account for a very large proportion of all goods, but they were convicted of colluding with pirates and selling stolen goods.

Just when Zheng Zhilong was tired of planting and didn't want to plant anymore, Fan Mendi finally came to the door, but, to Zheng Zhilong's surprise, there were a few British and French people around him.

Zheng Zhilong really didn't expect this, he was still thinking about how to show these "evidences" in front of the British and French to make them suspicious of each other, and now it's okay, they sent it to the door themselves.

Similarly, in order to show that he was justified, Zheng Zhilong did not go to greet him personally, but just asked Zheng Xing to greet him instead, while he himself sat in the huge conference room of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion with a group of Nanyang naval divisions and senior generals of the South China Sea Fleet.

This is the first time that the representatives of the British and French powers have had close contact with the Ming Empire, they have seen the huge warships from afar, it is not unusual, they have also heard of the fortress and the fort, and they are not very surprised, but the fort, the battery and even the dense artillery on the city wall really frightened them, the Ming Empire is so terrifying, the cannon is not made of paper, there are thousands of cannons in a Star City Port alone, this Ming cannon-making ability is really terrifying.

When they saw the Nanyang Governor's Mansion, which covers an area of nearly 1,000 acres, they were already shocked beyond measure, how rich is this Ming Empire, a Governor's Mansion is bigger than the palace and palace of any country in Europe, envy, jealousy and hatred, their determination to suppress the Ming Empire is even stronger.

Therefore, when they walked into the conference room, they were all aggressive, and there was a smell of common hatred.

However, their momentum is far from Zheng Zhilong's side, and the more than ten senior generals on Zheng Zhilong's side are all dressed in formal clothes, sitting there with straight faces, full of murderous spirit, and they are incomparable to the rabble in all kinds of strange costumes.

The momentum is incomparable, but Fan Mendi thinks that the combined strength of Britain, France and the Netherlands can crush the Ming Empire, so as soon as he sat down, he said arrogantly: "Your Highness Nikolai, on behalf of the United States of America, I strongly protest against your Ming Empire's seizure of our merchant ships without reason, and now, I demand that you immediately return all the detained merchant ships, publicly apologize in official form, and compensate the Dutch East India Company for the losses caused by the delay in the delivery time and the loss of customers, totaling 10 million taels of silver." “

Compared with me, hum, Zheng Zhilong slapped the table directly, pointed at Fan Mendi and roared: "You collude with pirates and rob the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, is it justified?" On behalf of the Ming Empire, I now formally ask you to explain your collusion with pirates, and compensate the losses of dozens of merchants in the Ming Empire totaling 20 million taels of silver, otherwise, your more than 100 merchant ships and the goods on them will be confiscated and auctioned off to compensate for the losses of dozens of merchants in the Ming Dynasty. “

Fan Mendi relied on the support of allies, it was also arrogant, he heard this, directly slapped the table, and roared angrily: "You say that we collude with pirates, we collude with pirates, I also think that pirates are pretending to be pirates in the Ming Empire Navy!" “

The representatives of the British and French Empires didn't expect that a governor of the Ming Empire would be so bullish that he would dare to slap the table and roar in front of the representatives of their three major European powers, it was so arrogant, and they didn't care what Fan Mendi said, as soon as Fan Mendi finished speaking, they glared at Zheng Zhilong angrily, with a strong warning in their eyes, boy, when we don't exist, right!

Of course, Zheng Zhilong was not afraid of them, but his purpose was not to even scold the British and French representatives, but to make them suspicious of each other, so he pretended to be jealous very cooperatively, and said indignantly: "When did I talk nonsense, will I slander you without evidence?" Come on, bring up the evidence. “

As soon as his words fell, a group of Ming soldiers walked in with two large wooden boxes, Zheng Zhilong gestured to Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Xing left and right with his eyes, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Xing hurriedly stood up, but the box in the soldier's hand was laboriously moved onto the conference table, lifted the lid of the box and pushed it in front of Zheng Zhilong.
