"You'll be able to see Kupang City soon, what should we do next?"

Zheng Zhilong and Colonel Lincoln stopped twenty miles north of Kubang City.

"Can you send your men to the city of Kubang to find out if the other party is trading in it, or if the transaction has already ended."

After arriving at the ground, Colonel Lincoln became a little cautious, after all, if the next step was to put pressure on the Spaniards, they must be able to grasp the opponent's handle with certainty, otherwise such an invasion of the Spaniard's stronghold would only cause strong resentment on the other side.

Compared with the white faces of his own men, it is not easy to investigate the movements in the castle of Kupang without being noticed.

On the contrary, the Flying Dragon Gang under the command of Zheng Zhilong is mixed, including local natives, loyal subordinates brought by the liberation of African black slaves, and Han faces that have been flooded and can be seen everywhere in the entire Nanyang area.

In addition, the original news channel was provided by the Flying Dragon Gang, in addition to more than 100 Spanish soldiers in Kupang City, and hundreds of Spanish servants and slaves, more people were local natives and Han people who could live anywhere.

"Good!"

Soon, a fishing boat disguised as returning from fishing at sea quickly approached Kupang City.

An hour and a half later, the ship that had gone to inquire about the news returned again, bringing back a piece of news that Zheng Zhilong had expected, which made Colonel Lincoln both happy and a little worried.

"The transaction has begun, and the other party has been in Kubang City for half a day, so he must be able to negotiate a deal at any time!"

Zheng Zhilong gave his own judgment, but then he did not give any advice, quietly waiting for Colonel Lincoln's choice, and he was willing to use it.

"Go full speed ahead and block this gang of pirates in Kupang!"

"Understood!!"

"Full sails, full sails, direction due south, target Kupang City, go!!"

The fleet of the Dutch East India Company, which had been on this ocean for nearly two hours and four hours, finally pressed towards their goal.

Soon, the alarm bells rang out in the city of Kupang, and the Spanish warriors who were sentinels on the castle ran early to call the police to Lieutenant Colonel Fijue, who was meeting with the pirate leader Jack, when they saw the red, white and blue Dutch flag on the mast of the coming ship.

"What? The fleet of the Dutch has arrived? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue, who was stationed in Kupang City, was shocked when he heard the news, and at the same time looked at Captain Jack in front of him, and his eyes became a little unkind.

"Since Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue is here, then I'd better find a place to hide first!"

Without waiting for Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue to make a move, Captain Jack took the first step to say goodbye.

"Hide, where are you hiding? Kupang Castle is so big, do you want to hide outside the city? But what about your ships and your cargo, your crew? Can they still disappear for no apparent reason? ”

"How do you think I should explain to them why your ship and its cargo are in our castle?"

With a sneer, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue refused Captain Jack's request to leave, and at the same time, two heavily armed soldiers stepped forward and stared at Captain Jack in the room.

"OK, OK, I'm not leaving, okay? How about I'll stay in your room, Lieutenant Colonel, and wait for the final result? ”

Captain Jack raised his hand, signaling that he had no malice at all, and was willing to cooperate with the action, and simply sat down on the chair behind him, and began to enjoy the afternoon tea brought by the servant before.

"Your Excellency Fei Jue, you don't have to worry about me, there are so two people looking at me, and I can't fly out even if I have wings in your castle."

"But the fleet of the East India Company outside the city is menacing, do you just watch them invade your castle and encroach on your power and territory?"

When it was over, Captain Jack still had the leisure to remind Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue that he didn't seem to be worried about his own safety at all.

"Humph!"

Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue was furious at this time, and finally found such an opportunity to make a fortune, taking advantage of the sensitive time of the Dutch East India Company to track down the pirates who plundered their company's goods and ships, and fiercely bargained with Jack's gang of pirates who wanted to sell the dirt in their hands so that they could replenish the group's supplies.

According to the plan, after signing this deal with Captain Jack, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue would be able to transfer more than ten pesos of silver coins, plus the money he had earned before, he could retire and buy a manor in his hometown and live a happy life.

But who would have thought that such a secret transaction information would still leak the news on such a remote route as Kupang Castle, and it would be detected by the Dutch people, and it would be killed with a large army, which made Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue feel a little tricky.

Fortunately, the goods shown in the ledger given by Captain Jack were not consistent with the cargos stolen by the Dutch merchants, and Captain Jack, who had beaten several times, swore at night that their filth had nothing to do with the missing Dutch thieves, which made Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue's heart unhappy and full of crisis, but he would not panic because of this.

Even if Captain Jack lied to him, when the human and physical evidence was there, and it was really irretrievable, Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue only needed to hand over this group of pirates to the East India Company fleet general, presumably the other party would not dare to really do too much to their Kupang City.

After all, he Fei Jue stood behind him, but the Kingdom of Spain, although the reputation of the Spanish Armada was sinking, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and if the Dutch wanted to turn their faces, they had to worry about whether the consequences of such an act were worth it!

"Your Excellency Fiel, Colonel Lincoln of the Far East Fleet in the Lower Netherlands. Philp, I have received word that a band of pirates suspected of attacking the ships of our Dutch East India Company is looking for a buyer in your castle. ”

"I hope your ministry can allow us to send troops into the city to search and arrest!"

Although he reached the port of the Spaniards with great fanfare, Colonel Lincoln still maintained restraint, tried his best to avoid military conflicts, and personally rowed to a place more than 100 meters away from the port defense line in a small boat, and sent a request to Fei Jue in person.

"Damn!!"

Fei Jue, who was still holding on to the reverie in her heart, finally died of the heart of fishing in troubled waters after hearing the other party's words at this time, and after settling down, she began to prepare to negotiate with the colonel of the Dutch fleet who was not good in front of her.
