Chapter 466: The axiom is within the range of the cannon
The current Tamsui area is in ruins, and all the facilities are not perfect, so the place where Wang Yue met with Putmans is still located in the office of the landing ship.
Putmans's pride as an official of Europe's number one maritime power has been shattered, and this feeling has become even stronger after he got on the landing ship.
The guards at the hatch of the landing ship stood straight, like a wooden stake standing there. The blue bayonet was beside him, and he didn't mean to move when he saw someone coming, which means that the military discipline is strict!
The soldier in charge of the inspection had a good attitude, and after a brief inspection, he let them in.
Following the soldiers who led the way, Putmans and his party walked towards the interior of the landing ship, and there was a sound of "dangdangdang" with metallic footsteps under their feet, and the facilities inside the ship could be seen everywhere, and there was almost no purpose to see it, but one thing was certain, that is, luxury was incomparably luxurious.
After walking more than 100 meters, I arrived at the place where I met the guests, which shows how big the ship is.
The person in charge of receiving at the door of the office was a soldier, with a grim face, and left a somewhat blunt sentence: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and report." ”
Waiting, forget it if you don't greet it, a strong sense of humiliation grows in Putmans's heart. Know that you are an official of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a maritime power, and that the indigenous kings of Southeast Asia are treated with great courtesy.
However, he was in a bad mood today, and what he saw with his own eyes put a lot of pressure on him, and the strength of the Starting Point City and the Tiance Army was immeasurable.
"Lord Wang, please everyone!" The soldier came out and made a gesture of invitation to them.
After hearing the translation, Putmans nodded and walked into the office. He found that the dress and behavior of these soldiers were similar to those of Westerners, and they were very different from the Ming people he had come into contact with, but one thing was certain, these people were highly civilized.
When he entered the office, the first thing he saw was a young man sitting in the main seat, and other officers, and a beautiful European woman, who was very familiar.
"Oh my God, Lisa, why are you here?" Before Putmans could speak, Lieutenant Colonel Villa's voice of surprise came from behind him.
Lisa was a little embarrassed and coughed dryly, but didn't say anything.
Although Wang Yue didn't know Dutch, he could also hear that the Dutch officer was calling Lisa's name, so he looked at her with his eyes and inquired.
Lisa had no choice but to explain softly to Wang Yue, it turned out that this Lieutenant Colonel Villa was one of Lisa's suitors.
Wang Yue suddenly, he couldn't help but look at Lieutenant Colonel Villa, about thirty years old, although he was not very handsome, maybe he was born in a noble family, but his temperament was handsome.
Liu Ru, a reporter with the army, still hasn't figured out what the relationship between this beautiful foreign woman and Wang Yue is, and she heard Lisa's words just now, which makes her feel very interesting.
In fact, the accident happened very briefly, because Putmans immediately stopped Villa's shouting.
Wang Yue didn't give up his seat to them as guests, but asked: "I am Wang Yue, the squire of the Ming Army, the governor of Yingtian, and the commander of the Tiance Army, I don't know what you have to do here." ”
Lisa then translated it into Dutch and spoke it to Putmans and others.
Putmans has been in Taiwan for three years, and he still knows about the official position of the Ming court, and Wang Yue is undoubtedly a high-ranking official of the Ming government.
He stepped forward, raised his hand to his chest, and bowed deeply. "Putmans, the governor of Taiwan in the Netherlands, has met His Excellency King Daming." Putmans maintained a polite manner, behaved in moderation, neither humble nor arrogant.
Wang Yue's reaction was to be stunned, and said lightly: "The governor of the Netherlands in Taiwan? When did Taiwan become part of the Dutch state? How did I not know? ”
After Lisa relayed it, Putmans immediately froze, completely unsure of what to say next. He wanted to say that Taiwan was the territory of the Netherlands, but he knew better that as long as he said this, the king of the Ming Dynasty might immediately turn his face. It is a trivial matter to drive him away, so I am afraid that I will cut him off directly and use his head to "sacrifice the flag". The Ming people had this habit, and it was said that some of the punishments in this country were very barbaric.
"In accordance with international practice, there is no problem with my statement." Putmans chose a mild one.
Wang Yue crooked his mouth and sneered: "What international practice?" Isn't it just what you say? The Netherlands, a country with a big palm, is embarrassed to say what international practices? Let me tell you, this is the sea area of the Ming Dynasty, and Taiwan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You come uninvited, and you don't leave, not because of international practice, but because of the strength of your ship. Originally, I was going to send someone to inform you, but now that you're here, you just save yourself this trouble. Now I officially inform you that within half a month, all the Dutch must leave Taiwan. ”
"God, this can't be!" After the interpreter finished speaking, Putmans blurted out. Wang Yue also waited patiently for Lisa's translation, and said lightly: "Nothing is impossible." It's polite to let yourselves go, and if you don't leave, let the cannon do the talking. ”
"No, it's not an axiom, it's all the act of banditry!" Putmans cried out, as if they had come from Europe to Asia for charity.
Wang Yue laughed when he heard this, is it axiomatic? He laughed and said to Lisa: "Tell him that the axiom is only within the range of the cannon!" "I finally had the opportunity to say such a super pretend to be X, Wang Yue was sour for a while!
Feng Yuanshan, Zhuang Suwen and other officers present listened to Wang Yue's words, not to mention being more energetic. Liu Ru, a reporter with the army, was dumbfounded, judging by the sage books she had read, Wang Yue was simply reckless, Confucianism pays attention to the inner sage and the outer king, and the external implementation is the royal way, and the virtue is to convince people.
It was the first time that Putmans had grown so old and heard such tough diplomatic rhetoric, and his lips trembled with anger. The Chinese may have prepared for all wars, otherwise they would not be so tough.
Lieutenant Colonel Villa was furious, and roared at Wang Yue, looking very excited.
Wang Yue waited for Lisa to translate, and Lisa had no choice but to say to Wang Yue with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, he said that he is Lieutenant Commander Villao of the Royal Dutch Navy, because your words just now seriously hurt the dignity of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, he asks you to apologize immediately to Commander Putmans, otherwise he will ...... you" Speaking of this, Lisa couldn't go on, and her face turned a little red.
"Go on!" Wang Yue said coldly.
"He's going to propose a duel to you!" Lisa bit her red lip and finally spoke.
