240 Spies
Zheng Sen's whole person is like a tense string, which may erupt at any time.
He never imagined that the ultimate target of the natives' movements they detected would be his gang and the manor, and the mastermind behind it was the Governor of Dandel, who had summoned him two days earlier.
Through the intelligence channels of the Wyvern Gang, Zheng Sen learned that the natives were gathering in Batavia, and he thought that the natives had other targets, so although it cautiously let the gang start to lock down the manor, most of it was only for safety.
Now Daliman, a native, suddenly visited and handed himself an urgent letter from Hongmen, although it did not clearly inform himself that the Tu and Dutch targets were targeted, but from his analysis, Zheng Sen could still feel the full malice towards his own side behind these changes.
Regarding the relationship between Hongmen and the Flying Dragon Gang, Zheng Sen, as the leader of the Young Gang, knew it well, and even when Zheng Zhilong let go of his hatred for Hongmen Li Tianyang at that time, he also had a share of the credit for Zheng Sen's persuasion.
Therefore, this secret letter from Hongmen, Zheng Sen was full of trust, and he also agreed with the other party's judgment of the situation.
It's just that this situation is a difficult choice for their Zheng manor.
At this time, the total population of the Zheng manor was close to that of the predecessor, even if you exclude the hired natives and their own black slaves and Indian slaves, there are more than 700 of them just to help their families.
There are also mountains of grain in the granary of the manor, hoarded all kinds of materials, etc., all of which are a burden that will drag down the next actions of the Wyvern Gang.
With the strength of the Wyvern Gang in Batavia now, most of the strength has been taken out to sea by Zheng Zhilong, and the remaining and available gangs, plus the slaves and subordinates in the manor, may be able to rely on the terrain of the manor to inflict a heavy blow on the invading indigenous team, but compared to the reliance behind the people - the Dutch people who control most of the Indonesian archipelago in the entire Javaho, Zheng Sen has no confidence in his heart to rely on this manpower.
And there is another point, if the Dutch turn around this time, it has been planned for a long time, then they will transfer away from Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and there will inevitably be a bigger layout behind it.
It is true that Zheng Sen is full of confidence in his father, believing that the fleet of the Wyvern Gang may not be defeated by their Dutch fleet on the sea, but many things cannot be done with faith alone.
“…… We received news that the Dutch people were ready to √ our Zheng Manor, and whether this matter is true or not, we must prepare in advance. ”
"So, what I mean is to take the people in our manor to hide in Shanghai for a while, and then wait until the matter is clear, and then make a plan."
As the leader of the Young Gang, all the affairs of the Wyvern Gang in Batavia are basically decided by Zheng Sen, and he doesn't even care about the opinions of other gang leaders, so he makes a decision.
"But the young helper, is the news accurate? If not, we'll be mobilized! ”
There are still some helpers who have some questions about Zheng Sen's arrangement and ask their own questions.
"And if such a big movement is detected by Governor Dandel and they cause misunderstanding, I am afraid that they are not prepared to deal with us, and they will become hostile to us because of this."
"Do you want to hold on to the luck that the other party may not be able to deal with us, and hand over the lives of hundreds of people in our manor to this fluke?"
Zheng Sen's eyes were not good, and he raised his head and asked a question, which made the inflamed person speechless.
"If it's really just a misunderstanding, when the time comes, when my father and they return, I, the young gang leader, will personally take responsibility and go to apologize and explain to Governor Dandel."
"But at this moment, you all have to do what I have arranged, and from now on, everyone will move for me. Feicai, you organize our family to pack up, and we will send them on the boat after nightfall. ”
"As for the rest of the baggage, food, etc., if there is a vacancy on the ship, it will be sent to the ship, and if there is no vacancy, find a place to hide it, Huang Xing, this matter will be left to you."
"The most important thing is the manor of the Dutch merchant Franklin, twenty miles to the southwest of us, where all the warriors of the surrounding and qualified indigenous tribes are gathered, Zou Ping, you take a group of good hands, and keep an eye on the movements inside them, whether the Dutch people want to deal with us, it will be clear if you stare at them."
One order after another, issued in an orderly manner, and then dispersed the group of troops gathered by Zheng Sen.
In order to persuade the farmers of the manor to give up some unnecessary industries, the soldiers who went to organize the evacuation of their families and relatives were exhausted, and finally even forced to use force, so that the people could barely give up some invaluable objects.
A figure took advantage of the fact that the people in the manor were busy with the helpers, and quietly slipped out of the manor from a remote path near a long road, heading towards the port of Batavia in the north, more than ten miles away.
It's just that a few figures suddenly came out of the middle of the road and rushed towards this figure, although this figure reacted immediately, but in the end it was caught up by a few figures who came prepared, and captured alive.
"Say, where are you going?"
This sneaky figure was finally escorted to a familiar face, and suddenly the whole person lost his spirit and collapsed to the ground.
The person who was so frightened that the other party lost his strength turned out to be Zheng Sen and Zheng Fusong, the young gang leader of the Flying Dragon Gang, and the person who was paralyzed on the ground was the leader of the gang who raised the different meanings during the previous discussion.
"The young master spares his life, the little ghost is obsessed, the ghost is obsessed, just thinking that if we do this, it may cause a misunderstanding of Governor Dandel, and I want to go to His Excellency the Governor to confirm it."
"Confirmed? How old are you, even I, the young leader of the Flying Dragon Gang, want to meet Dandel, I have to report in advance and ask for the other party's consent to see it, but in your mouth it seems that I will definitely be able to see it!! ”
Zheng Sen was not angry and arrogant, but he was shocking: "You are also an old man, I don't want to use those dirty methods against you, as long as you explain honestly, I will leave your family a way to live." ”
“……”
was caught squarely, and easily pierced his lies, the leader who was arrested knew that he really had no way out this time, but fortunately, now the young gang leader gave him an alternative path, and after a long time of fighting between heaven and man, he had already thought about it.
“…… The Dutch told me to keep an eye on every movement in the manor, and if anything unusual happens, go to the port of Batavia and find Ensign Miller at the city gate......"
