Chapter 475: Batavia
Xia Yang asked He Yun again: "Aunt He, did you tell the girl about her pregnancy?" ”
"I haven't said that yet." He Yun said, "I haven't figured out how to say it yet, if I say it rashly, I'm worried that her mother will have any ideas." What I told her mother was that there are more things going on at school now, so her daughter will live in school first and not go home for a while. And I only said that Chen Yan fell in love with her daughter, and her daughter also liked Chen Yan. ”
"Then ask Aunt He to take care of the girls first." After Xia Yang finished speaking, he turned his head to Chen Yan, "You still have to find a way yourself, you see who is more suitable to find, and talk to Huang Sanxiang about this matter with you." In the current situation, as long as Huang Sanxiang is willing, there will be no problem with our side of Yulin Bay, and as for the Qiongzhou Mansion, let's talk about it. ”
"Xiao Xia, it's easy to solve Chen Yan's matter alone, if you really can't do it, let your Uncle Lu come forward to talk to Huang Sanxiang."
As soon as He Yun said half of his words, Chen Yan thanked him: "Thank you, Principal He, or Principal He's thoughtfulness, Lu Lao will come out, Huang Sanxiang will definitely agree." ”
"Don't be too happy." He Yun continued to say to Xia Yang, "In fact, there is Gao Chen's marriage, and our education in Yulin Bay has developed well in recent years, especially the enrollment rate of girls has increased to a certain extent. But I've heard from some teachers that some of the engaged children are reluctant. And there have been several cases of male and female students eloping because their families did not agree to divorce, and I think it is really time to introduce a law to solve the problem of divorce. ”
Xia Yang said in his heart: "There are too many things that should be solved, and now I want to think about how to fight this battle." ”
Xia Yang thought so in his heart, but said on his lips: "Aunt He, what you said is very right, you should solve this problem." Chen Yan, you don't have anything to do now anyway, you go to find Shi Xianyang, and then go to Song Yingxing and tell them about the situation. Take you as an example, let Shi Xianyang introduce a law and take it to the General Assembly and the Federation to vote, and pass it one day earlier and worry one day earlier. ”
Xia Yang sent Chen Yan away, and continued to take out the plan that Xu Lang had left for him about Yulin Bay to absorb the Puritans, and now this plan gave Xia Yang a headache. Yesterday's conversation with Luan Xu made Xia Yang realize that if he really wanted to allocate a leased land to the British in Yulin Bay, I was afraid that the crossing conference would directly veto it, and Xu Lang would be held accountable if it was not done.
Xia Yang looked at it for a while and closed the plan again: "Let's talk about it." ”
In the Doge's palace in Batavia, representatives of the Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese were sitting around the palace. Fan? Dimon was gushing.
"Gentlemen, I think you are well aware of the current situation. We have been driven out of Taiwan, and Zheng Zhilong has taken control of the whole of Taiwan. According to the information we have received, Yulin Bay is currently actively preparing for the competition, and their next target will be Macau and Manila. Francisco, the representative of the Governor of Macao, brought the latest news and asked him to talk to the gentlemen. ”
Francisco stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been in contact with the Ming Emperor's envoy in Macau, Master Kong, and the Ming Dynasty Emperor is also very dissatisfied with Yulin Bay. What Zheng Zhilong and Yulinwan did in Taiwan this time was not what the Ming Emperor meant. ”
The Spanish commander Flores asked: "Your Excellency, is your news accurate, what is that empty mage is really the envoy of the Ming Emperor?" ”
"This is very accurate." Although Francisco didn't know Tao Min's true identity, he still said, "We have verified that he is indeed the envoy of the Ming Emperor." ”
Governor Anthony waved his hand and motioned not to interject yet: "Honorable Excellency, please continue. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor." Francisco nodded and said, "The Ming Emperor means that we can unite to deal a heavy blow to Yulin Bay, so that he will have a reason to punish Yulin Bay." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency." Flores interrupted Francisco again, "I don't understand, why did the Ming Emperor want us to attack Yulin Bay, couldn't he punish Yulin Bay himself?" ”
"It's their Oriental thinking." Francisco tried hard to explain what Tao Min said, and finally shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "Gentlemen, I can only explain it like this, the thinking of the Oriental people is not something we can understand, but we are beneficial, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty promised to open the entire Ming market." ”
Francisco's last words aroused the interest of those present, and Van Rude asked: "But what about the English, I heard that the British went to Goa in India, and the strength of their fleet is not small. ”
Francisco replied: "Your Excellency, this is indeed a problem. According to the information we received from Malacca, the fleet of the English is now anchored in Singapore, and they are in contact with Yulin Bay. ”
Rodriguez, the representative of Manila, asked: "Your Excellency, do you mean that the English and Yulin Bay are on the same side?" ”
"There's no definite news yet, but it's possible."
"These damned Englishmen." Rodriguez scolded, "Have they forgotten that we all believe in one God?" ”
"Mr. Rodriguez, don't speak of God, the English are now disobedient to our great pope." Anthony looked at the people present, "The English only have six warships, and all the warships in Yulin Bay are only about ten, and we have a total of thirty-two warships. No matter how stupid the English are, they will take into account the balance of strength. ”
"Your Excellency, Governor." Van Rude said, "I don't think you may know that there is an iron ship in Yulin Bay, the Pearl, which has no sails, but it is extremely fast, and the range of its guns is as much as twice that of our cannons. ”
"Hahahaha, Your Excellency is really joking." Anthony didn't believe Van Rude at all, "How can an iron ship float on the sea without sails?" ”
"Lord Doge, I'm not kidding." Van Rude explains, "Captain Flores can prove that I'm telling the truth. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor." Flores said, "There really is one such ship in Yulin Bay, the devil incarnate. ”
"Gentlemen." Anthony was a little angry by what the two people said, "I invited you here today to discuss how to attack our opponent, you know, the conditions of the Ming Emperor are very tempting." ”
"I don't know what the envoy of the Ming Dynasty Emperor said." Rodriguez asked.
