Dropping the steel knife in his hand, Duncan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, he knew that he would never be able to return to the Great Commander and return to Europe with this knife! I am afraid that I will have to stay in this distant Ming for the rest of my life, which makes Duncan very sad in his heart. [with _ dream]ā

Under the coercion of Lin Fusheng and the Ming soldiers, the remaining six Dutchmen also had to raise their butcher knives towards Anglo, and not many people could treat death as if they were at home at the moment of life and death, and the choice between slashing and killing Anglo and being shot by the Ming people was not too difficult.

"I was forced, and what happened on a remote island in the distant Wa Kingdom, I don't think the East India Company would know about it, and I would still be able to return to Europe if I had the opportunity in the future." This is the psychology of a lot of Dutch.

Soon, however, the last vestiges of their illusions were shattered. Lin Fusheng announced that in view of the fact that Java was originally a subject state of the Ming Dynasty and had paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, Qi Guogong, the owner of the Qiyun firm, announced that he would find an opportunity to release the captured thirty or forty Javanese people.

Looking at the dozens of Javanese natives around them who were being held to watch the execution of Anglo, all the Dutch were in despair. These people were let back, and everything that happened here could no longer be hidden, which was equivalent to completely cutting off their way back!

"Grandpa, this Lin Fucheng is a talent, but his methods are a little vicious." Gu Junen said with a smile.

"Maybe it was because I was oppressed too much by the Dutch in the past, but now I finally have a chance to vent it." Chen Yue shook his head, "The Dutch are used to being brutal, and they don't treat the natives as human beings, so they need people like Lin Fucheng to train them." ”

"As soon as the retreat is broken, these Dutchmen will have to work for our Zhoushan, and the Grandpa's Sailor School will finally be officially opened!" Gu Junen said with a smile.

Among these Dutch were surveyors who could measure latitude and longitude, gunners who were good at handling guns, and sails and rudders. With their joining, the two armed sailboats will be more proficient.

In fact, as Gu Junen said, after despair, these Dutch people were much more active, in order to have a good treatment and a good future in the new place.

And after hearing that the chief of these Ming people was the duke of the Ming Dynasty, these Dutchmen were in awe and worked harder. Chen Yue then officially opened a school, and these Dutch people taught the students, including Lin Fucheng, a Nanyang Chinese who was proficient in Dutch, and others, and the students had no problem finding out what the Dutch were saying.

The courses offered are "Geometry", "Surveying", "Sailing Guide", "Shelling" and so on.

In order to make these Dutch do their best, Chen Yue gave them a modest salary, one hundred taels of silver per person per year, and appointed them all as the official positions of the general banner, equivalent to lieutenants in the West.

Several three-masted ships sail on the sea, and more than ten miles north of the ships is the Korean Peninsula, and you can see the curved coastline.

Fu Chun stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the coastline in the distance, carefully drawing a chart with a charcoal pen, his task was to take the guide provided by Li Guozhu to the Liaodong Peninsula, and the idea of buying wood from Mantar.

The southeast monsoon goes north along the Daming coast, and it is a headwind to return to Zhejiang from the Wa Kingdom at this time, but it is possible to use the wind power to go from the Wa State to Liaodong, and the boat is not easy to get lost along the Korean coastline to the north.

Chen Yue's task for Fu Chun was to go out to buy timber, and in the future, the wood from the Northeast was continuously transported to Zhoushan by sea and turned into sea ships. It is about 2,000 miles from Nagasaki to Liaodong, and it takes about half a month to drive downwind. It was now September, and Fu Chun did not need to return to Nagasaki after buying the wood, but waited for the northwest monsoon to rise, and went directly from Liaodong to Zhoushan.

Fu Chun is an old crew member, and there is a guide from Li Guozhu on the ship, and he entered the Bohai Sea without danger all the way, to the Liaodong Peninsula, and to a small island at the mouth of the Liaohe River.

Originally, this was the territory of the Dongjiang Army, but with the killing of the marshal Mao Wenlong more than ten years ago, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other generals have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Dongjiang Town has long disappeared, and many overseas islands are no longer inhabited. Mantar is not good at water, and has no interest in these uncontrollable overseas desert islands at all.

On the desert island here, there are still many dilapidated thatched huts, so Fu Chun asked people to clean them and use them as camping places for the time being.

Accompanied by two soldiers of the Zhoushan Army and two Japanese warriors, a guide sent by Li Guozhu sailed upriver into the Liao River in a small boat to contact the Manchu tribes. Fu Chun led the brigade to stay at the mouth of the Liao River and wait.

More than ten miles to the east of the island is Gaizhou, which is already considered to be the heart of Mantar. However, with the Manchu Tatars entering the customs and conquering Beijing, the vast majority of the Manchu Tatars outside the customs have entered the customs, and there are not many people who still remain outside the customs, Gaizhou and Fuzhou have given up, only Shengjing has thousands of Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the northeast, and there are some small tribes in the northeast that have attached to the Manchu Tartars, and they have not followed to Beijing for various reasons.

The guide traveled along the Liao River by boat for two days, and finally found the tribe he had worked with years earlier.

The tribe was small, numbering about 200 people, but most of them had already followed the Manchu court into the pass, and most of the people who remained here were old people who refused to leave the place where their ancestors were buried.

There was a shortage of materials outside the Guan, and the Manchurians were not good at farming, so the people of this tribe mostly relied on hunting in the mountains to make a living. In the past, the young people of the tribe followed into the customs and robbed a lot of living materials. However, this time he did not return for a long time, and it is said that the warriors of the tribe followed the Prince of Yu Duoduo all the way to the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the material to rob, the standard of living of the tribe suddenly dropped, and the people of the tribe were very happy when they heard that merchants from overseas Japanese countries had come to buy wood.

The most in the mountains is wood, the least valuable is also wood, the stream rushes down from the mountain into the Liao River, as long as the trees are cut down and put down the stream, it is easy to reach the mouth of the Liao River. A few years ago, the tribe had traded with the maritime merchants of the Wa Kingdom, and at that time, it was the blockade of the Ming people, and the materials obtained in exchange for wood solved the tribal problem. Therefore, the people of the tribe will cut down some trees and store them, waiting for the possibility of trading again. There are hundreds of trees on both sides of the mountain streams, and the trees have long since dried up in a few years.

Now, once again, the Wa people came, much to the delight of the tribesmen.

After negotiating the price, the tribesmen tied the big trees into wooden rafts and lowered them down the river, and down the Liao River into the sea.

Fu Chun's tree procurement was extremely smooth, but compared with him, the other fleet led by Wu Ping had experienced a lot of ......
