"Someone, who?" Ye Yan quickly ran to the patrolman's side, and looked in the direction of the patrolman's finger, there was a person lying motionless on the beach, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, it seemed that he should have been washed up by the sea.

"Let's go, let's see." Ye Yan felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, finally a case happened, and there was no need to look for chickens anymore.

More than a dozen patrols followed Ye Yan to this person's side, and the two patrols went up and flipped him over, and a Westerner's face appeared in front of everyone.

"Hongyi?" Ye Yan muttered.

"Chief Inspector, he's still angry."

"Let's get alive first."

A patrolman crouched down, pinning the Hongyi man against his knees and slapping him on the back, controlling the water outward.

After a while, the man suddenly spat out a large puddle of water with a "wow".

"Alright, it's alive." The patrol brought the Hongyi to the ground again.

"Who are you and how did you get here?" Ye Yan stepped forward and asked.

The Hongyi man sat on the ground and looked at Ye Yan, but these people didn't say a word.

"Chief Inspector, he doesn't seem to understand."

"Can you understand Annan?" Ye Yan asked again in Annan dialect.

But this Hongyi man still didn't say a word, and still looked directly at the patrol around him.

"Chief Inspector." A patrol suggested, "Those Yulinwan gentlemen in the barracks understand their Hongyi dialect, why don't we send him to the barracks?" ”

"That's all it can be." Ye Yan commanded these patrols, "You set him up, let's see what he has on him first, let's go to the barracks." ”

A Westerner was found on the beach, and Li Fuqiang and Zhou Lei, along with An Yuhang, the captain of the Yazhou who was still in Puliange, came to the governor's palace.

Ye Yan reported the process of discovering the Hongyi people to these people in detail, and put the things found from this Hongyi people in front of Li Fuqiang.

"Where are the people now?" Li Fuqiang asked.

"It's right outside, we're patrolling and watching."

"Okay, you go out and watch him first." Li Fuqiang instructed, "I'll call you later, and you bring people in again." ”

Ye Yan went out, and Li Fuqiang looked at the things on the table, a dagger, a few silver coins, and some messy things. One of the bamboo tubes with a seal caught Li Fuqiang's attention.

"Let's see what it is." Li Fuqiang lifted the bamboo tube.

Xu Tianbin took the bamboo tube and looked at it over and over for a while: "This should be a letter, maybe it is still a very important piece of information, otherwise it can't be sealed so tightly." ”

"Guess what, just open it and see it." Zhou Lei took the bamboo tube and took out a dagger to open the seal. Inside the bamboo tube is a piece of parchment with words written all over it.

"It's still parchment, it seems that this thing is quite important." Li Fuqiang took the parchment back and looked at it for a while, "I can't read a word of what is written on it, it looks like Dutch." ”

"Really?" Several other people leaned their heads over, "It's really Dutch, and none of us understand it, what should we do?" ”

"Let's call that Westerner in and ask for it first." Li Fuqiang shouted outside the door, "Ye Yan, bring people in." ”

Ye Yan and the two patrols brought the Westerner in.

Li Fuqiang pointed to a chair and motioned for him to sit down, and Xu Tianbin asked in English, "Do you speak English?" ”

The Westerner stood up from his chair and bowed: "Your Excellency, I speak English, and I am English." ”

"English." Xu Tianbin and the others were secretly happy, "What is your name, where are you from, where are you going, why did you come here?" ”

"Your Excellency." The Westerner replied, "My name is Alan, and I am a messenger from the Governor's Palace in Batavia, and my destination this time is Macao." But unfortunately, our ship ran aground at sea and sank, so I was sent here by the sea. Thank you, Excellencies, for saving me, and God will bless you. ”

"God will bless you, too." After Xu Tianbin finished speaking, he silently organized the vocabulary in his heart, and then asked, "You are an Englishman, how can you be a messenger in the Dutch governor's palace?" ”

"Your Excellency, for survival."

"Hehe, that's a good answer." Xu Tianbin laughed and picked up the parchment full of words again, "Allen, can you tell me what is written on this letter you are carrying?" ”

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency. I don't know the Dutch language, so I don't know what is written in this letter, and my task is to hand it over to the Governor of Macau. So I hope Your Excellency will give it back to me. ”

"You don't understand?" After listening to Xu Tianbin's translation, Li Fuqiang was a little confused, "You are an Englishman, with a letter that you don't understand yourself, how can you talk to the governor of Macao when you go to Macao?" ”

"Your Excellency." After listening to Xu Tianbin's relay, Allen replied, "Our Governor's order is that I only need to hand over this letter to the Governor of Macao, and I don't need to say anything, everything is on this letter. ”

"How long have you been a courier in Batavia?" Xu Tianbin suddenly asked again.

"Your Excellency, I've just been doing this for more than a month."

"Is there anyone else but you who has come out to deliver the letter?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know about that." Alan said honestly, "I have just gone to Batavia, and the situation is not very familiar, I only know that the Governor has sent me to Macau alone. ”

"Mr. Allen, we appreciate your candor, you go down and rest first, as for when you can leave here, we need to discuss it again." Li Fuqiang motioned to Xu Tianbin to translate his words to Allen, and then said to Ye Yan, "This person will be guarded by your patrol room first, remember, this person is very important, he must not leave the person at all times, he can't let him run away, let alone let him die, and the good food and drink are entertained." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." Ye Yan agreed and went out with Alan and the patrol.

"What do you think?" Li Fuqiang asked a few people in the room, "I have a feeling that this letter will be an important piece of information. ”

"Batavia is in the hands of the Dutch, and this Macau is in the hands of the Portuguese." An Yuhang expressed his doubts, "This Dutch has always been at odds with the two teeth, how can they send a message to the Portuguese, are they united?" ”

"I think the same way you do." Zhou Lei continued, "But the question is, even if the Dutch unite with the two teeth, what is the reason for their union, and who do they want to deal with?" ”

"Xu Tianbin, what do you think, why haven't you spoken." Li Fuqiang asked.

"I'm having a mess right now, and I'm a little confused." Xu Tianbin replied, "But I have a hunch that this matter may be related to our Yulin Bay. ”

"Why?" Hearing Xu Tianbin say this, several people were stunned.

"You think, since we robbed the Queen the year before last, we have killed several Dutch and Portuguese ships in the past year or so. With so many ships missing, the Dutch and Portuguese would have been more or less suspicious. Even if our secrets are kept tightly, there are now more than 20,000 people in Yulin Bay, and the news will leak out if it is guaranteed. Anyway, I think this is the only reason why I can tie the Dutch and the Portuguese together. ”

After Xu Tianbin finished speaking, several people fell into deep thought.

"So what do we do now?" Zhou Lei asked, "None of us can understand what is written on that letter." ”

"It doesn't matter, if we can't understand it, someone can understand it." Li Fuqiang said, "An Yuhang, you are ready, use the Yazhou to send this Allen and this letter back to Yulin Bay, and the committee will find a way to find out the truth." ”

"Is it in time?" An Yuhang asked worriedly.

"It's definitely in time." Li Fuqiang replied, "This letter has not been delivered to Macau, and they are definitely not ready now, so you should hurry up and try to get ahead of them." ”

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

"That's it." Li Fuqiang instructed again, "You leave early tomorrow morning." Xu Tianbin, you work hard tonight, write a letter to the committee, introduce the situation of Brother Pu Li again, talk more about our difficulties, don't let the committee always take care of other places, we also have to care about it. ”

"Hey, I'm talking about Governor Li, Commander Li." Xu Tianbin shouted, "This Xu Lang has gone back, why are these things all mine." ”

"That can't be helped." Zhou Lei said with a smile on the side, "Who called you highly educated, college student, who is not looking for you." ”

"Isn't that still in college, I haven't even entered the university door, so I came here."

"It's all the same, then even if you get in."

"You two don't quarrel." Li Fuqiang interrupted the joke of the two with a smile, "It's decided, let's go and prepare." ”

Early the next morning, the Yazhou set sail and returned to Yulin Bay within a few days at the fastest speed.

The enlarged meetings of the two Committees were once again convened. According to the translations of Shinyuzaemon and the Western Battalion, the committee now figured out what was written in the letter, that the Dutch were going to join forces with Portugal and Spain to go to war, but that the target of the war was not Yulin Bay but Zheng Zhilong. Both the Dutch and the two teeth now believe that the disappearance of several ships has a lot to do with Zheng Zhilong, because at present, in the entire South Sea, no one except Zheng Zhilong has such courage and ability to dare to rob Western ships.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me first." Zhang Guodong kept slapping the table again, this Zhang Guodong felt very aggrieved, why do you have to maintain discipline first every time you have a meeting, this is a meeting and not a vegetable market, "Everyone understands the situation, now the Westerners are going to war with Zheng Zhilong, what about us, we just started to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong, so what should we do, help him or not?" ’

"Help him." Qiu Peng was the first to speak, "If Zheng Zhilong is defeated, then who will sell our warships and guns to, won't it all be smashed in his hands, and he must be helped." ”

"I also agreed to help Zheng Zhilong." Sun Dalei said, "With Zheng Zhilong's order, the economy and finance of our Yulin Bay are now advancing by leaps and bounds, and the GDP is rising slowly. ”

Sun Dalei's words caused a burst of laughter among the participants, and Xia Yang shouted: "President Sun, is that chicken fart of yours accurate, are you making it up?" ”

"Don't laugh, don't laugh." Lu Tianxiang stopped everyone's laughter, "Now it seems that everyone's opinions are to help Zheng Zhilong, who has different opinions, if not, we will settle it like this." ”

"I have an opinion."

Everyone turned their heads to look, Xu Lang? Everyone's hearts began to murmur again, isn't this Xu Lang very good these days, cooperate in everything, and don't let go of guns, what's wrong with today, the old illness has relapsed?

"Don't look at me like that, I'll just say my own opinion." Xu Lang himself smiled first, "In the original history, next year, that is, in 1633, the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch broke out a sea battle, that is, the Battle of Liuluo Bay. In this naval battle, Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch and Liu Xiang, and finally achieved the hegemony of Nanyang. Judging by the current situation, the history of this naval battle is probably a year earlier. My opinion is that we can help Zheng Zhilong, but we must not let him defeat the Dutch, and we must maintain the balance of power. ”

"If we don't defeat the Dutch, then we won't have to guard against the Westerners every day." Han Wantao asked, "What about our plan to go north?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question." Xu Lang didn't answer Han Wantao's question, "Everyone has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and they all know the story of Huarong Dao, since Zhuge Liang knows that Guan Yu will definitely let Cao Cao go, then why didn't he send Zhang Fei to guard Huarong Dao, why didn't he send Zhao Yun to guard Huarong Dao?" If he changed to anyone else, Cao Cao would not run away, but why did he send Guan Yu? ”
