"Sir, Wang Ren has mobilized a lot of people to hunt down Geng Yi and Yaoqin, and the eldest prince has sent someone to ask if we want to send more people, or notify Shi Hu?"

Zhang Cheng bowed down and asked Li Hongyu with a serious expression, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have broken in to disturb Li Hongyu's memorial, now Geng Yi and Yaoqin are in danger, Chen Ada, he has to come up with an idea as soon as possible and rush to help overnight.

"Since Wang Ren has already torn his face, then there is no need for us to carry it all by ourselves, Shi Hu also has a part in this matter, tell the eldest prince to send someone to inform Shi Hu to see how he will react."

Li Hongyu quickly came up with an idea, and after a deep sigh, he admonished, "Remember, don't conflict with the local indigenous people unless you have to." ”

"The little one understands." Hearing this, Zhang Cheng bowed to Li Hongyu and Youlan, and hurriedly left the courtyard, so as not to disturb Li Hongyu and Youlan alone.

"Sir, what will happen if Geng Yi and Yaoqin are caught?" Youlan also knew about Geng Yi and Yaoqin, and couldn't help but ask after Zhang Cheng left.

"If our people find them first, the two of them can still live, after all, they are only instructed by others, if they fall into Wang Ren's hands, then they will definitely die."

Li Hongyu sighed when he heard the words and said, "It's also a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, it's a pity that they were born at the wrong time, otherwise they will definitely be able to fly with wings." ”

Youlan suddenly fell silent when she heard this, she was undoubtedly much luckier than Yaoqin who was destined to be at the end of the world, at least she could get along with Li Hongyu day and night, now think about it, this is also a happy thing, how many people can "occupy" the dignified Ming Auxiliary Minister for such a long time?

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Soon, Youlan, who was in a complicated mood, made a decision, looked up at Li Hongyu, and asked with a resolute expression, she had to share some pressure for Li Hongyu, how could she watch Li Hongyu suffer there?

"After the Dutch occupy Penghu, I will go to Macao to meet the Portuguese and Spanish, and you will accompany me to Guangzhou at that time."

Li Hongyu suddenly felt a burst of relief in his heart when he heard this, and said to Youlan with a smile, he needs Youlan to provide him with cover, so that it will be much more convenient to act, and it is impossible to let Youlan do some dangerous things.

"Guangzhou?

Youlan's eyes lit up suddenly, and then she nodded again and again, and agreed in one bite, "Hmm! I've wanted to go to Guangzhou for a long time, and I've heard that there are a lot of Western Hongmaoyi and Western strange things. ”

"By the way, I heard that the people over there in Guangzhou speak like birds, and outsiders can't understand it at all." Then, Youlan looked at Li Hongyu with interest, "Do we need to find a translator when we go?" ”

"No, you don't."

Li Hongyu smiled and shook his head, "The dialect they speak over there is Cantonese, and I have learned a little before that should be enough to communicate with them." ”

Youlan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then flashed a pair of beautiful eyes and stared at Li Hongyu tightly, which made Li Hongyu feel strange, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, "I have dirty things on my face?" ”

"You don't seem to know anything, Wen Taowu strategy, poetry and songs, wine, gambling and business are proficient, and you even know the dialect of Guangzhou, which is really incredible!"

Youlan shook her head, then couldn't help but reach out and pinch Li Hongyu's cheek, and asked in amazement, "Are you human?" Is there anything in this world that you don't know? ”

"Of course I'm human, but when I was a child, my parents were strict with me and I learned a lot of things."

Li Hongyu didn't feel proud of Youlan's praise, but he felt a little embarrassed, and replied with a smile on his face with a hint of embarrassment, as for how the truth of the truth will become a secret hidden in his heart for the rest of his life.

Hearing this, Youlan's face suddenly darkened, she was sent to Jilong Port by Chen Mingzhi since she was a child, and she never enjoyed the love of her parents at all, unlike Li Hongyu, whose parents were by her side.

"In the future, you can reunite with your parents, and they sent you to Chicken Coop Port as a last resort, you know, those who do your father's business not only have to fight to the death with their peers, but also have to guard against the encirclement and suppression of the government, once they are caught by the government, then it will be a disaster."

Seeing this, Li Hongyu knew that what he had just said had inadvertently touched Youlan's sadness, so he opened his mouth and comforted softly, being able to understand the misery and helplessness in Youlan's heart.

"Sir, you brought all this, Xin'er thanked Mr.

Youlan smiled when she heard this, and thanked Li Hongyu after her death, if it weren't for Li Hongyu, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to go back to reunite with her parents in this life.

"This is my duty, if it weren't for the long-standing sea ban imposed by the imperial court, you and your third brother would not have come to Jilong Harbor."

Li Hongyu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Youlan, "It's me, the one who is a parent official, who wants to apologize." ”

"Sir, you can kill Xin'er, how can Xin'er be virtuous, how can you stand this gift!"

Seeing this, Youlan hurriedly dodged away, where is the reason for the court's auxiliary ministers to salute a little woman? Moreover, the imperial court imposed a sea ban and Li Hongyu's military attaché, and she was nameless.

Unconsciously, Youlan has accepted Li Hongyu's true identity, and what makes her happy is that Li Hongyu took the initiative to show her her heart, and she finally realized her childhood dream and found a big hero as a husband.

Although Li Hongyu did not personally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he strategized to win a decisive victory, commanded the army to fight vertically and horizontally, and was an out-and-out hero.

"If I am not in his position, I am now the secretary of the Customs Department, and I have the responsibility to solve all kinds of problems caused by the decisions of the imperial court."

Li Hongyu immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, then looked up at Haoyue in the sky and said, "I hope everything will go well in the future, otherwise it will be another storm!" ”

Seeing this, Youlan's eyes couldn't help but show a look of concern, she can now feel the huge pressure that Li Hongyu is under, as the youngest official in the Ming Dynasty, he has the heaviest burden on his shoulders in the Ming officialdom, and it is estimated that he would have collapsed long ago if he was a bystander, but Li Hongyu has been gritting his teeth and insisting.

Through open and honest communication with Youlan, Li Hongyu successfully pulled Youlan to his side, and with Youlan's help, he will be more convenient in the future.

The reason why Youlan chose to stand on Li Hongyu's side, in addition to her feelings for Li Hongyu, also wanted to provide an opportunity for the pirates and armed smugglers in Jilong Harbor and even Xiaoliuqiu, so that they could start a new life instead of being exterminated by the sailors of the Ming Dynasty.

eliminated the estrangement in his heart, especially Li Hongyu showed his heart to Youlan, making the relationship between the two closer and acting more tacitly, Youlan decided to try her best to share the pressure on Li Hongyu.

Seeing that Youlan's face returned to a bright smile, and her expression gradually improved, Liu Bihua, who had been worried about her, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and vaguely felt that Youlan's loss some time ago seemed to be related to Li Hongyu.

In any case, Youlan has recovered and is closer to Li Hongyu, and Liu Bihua will no longer inquire into the details.

A few days later, news came from Penghu that a fleet of Hongmaoyi had attacked Penghu, and because the soldiers of the Penghu Inspection Department had been transferred to Fuzhou by the Customs Department for training, Hongmaoyi easily occupied the undefended Penghu.

Li Hongyu knew that the Hongmaoyi who had forcibly occupied Penghu were the Dutch, and now it seemed that their attack on Macao had failed, and they turned to attack Penghu.

After the Dutch occupied Penghu, they immediately sent people to the city of Fuzhou to meet the governor of Fujian, wanting to trade with the Ming Dynasty, but the governor of Fujian refused, demanding that they immediately evacuate Penghu.

The Dutch finally came to Penghu, how could it be so easy to leave, as they did with the previous colonies, the Dutch built a city on Penghu with great fanfare, and put on a posture of long-term occupation of Penghu.

After some careful consideration, the commander of the Dutch fleet, Rayson, chose to build a city at the end of the wind cabinet in Penghu as a base for the Dutch.

Li Hongyu felt a little puzzled after learning about this, with the Dutch's understanding of the geographical location of Penghu at that time, the sea breeze at the tail of the wind cabinet was very strong, although its terrain could hold the ships entering and leaving Magong Bay, but it was not suitable for large ships to shelter from the wind and cargo handling, so it was not the best base choice.

According to Li Hongyu's speculation, the reason why the Dutch chose the tail of the wind cabinet may have been just an expedient measure, and their real purpose was to find a trading base on the coast of the Daming coastal area like Portugal, and Penghu was just their temporary habitat.

In addition, the Dutch knew that the Ming were not easy to deal with, so they did not want to provoke the Ming, so they decided to adopt a tactful policy, although they went to Penghu but did not interfere in local affairs, and put on the appearance of only seeking trade, which was completely different from the policy of their colonies in the East Indies.

This allowed the Penghu Inspection Division to still operate, and the soldiers of the Inspection Division who had been trained in Fuzhou were able to return afterwards, but unfortunately they were unable to expel the Dutch.

In fact, the best place to build a city on Penghu is near the Mazu Temple, but unfortunately the Inspection Department is nearby, and a large number of people live, so it should be a choice made by Leier as a last resort.

In addition, Raelsen's owner was the East India Company, which was not a state power like Spain and Portugal, so the castles in the Netherlands were very rudimentary to avoid the financial burden on the company.

As a result, most of the castle's building materials are made from local materials, excavated from the site, and then cemented with turf.

Although some parts were carved out of the rocks on the mountain, the overall structure is still quite fragile; In addition, Penghu is windy and rainy, and the city wall often collapses, and it is constantly filled with earth and fixed with wooden planks, but it still does not help.

Therefore, this castle located at the end of the wind cabinet and called "Red Hair City" by the local people can be said to be quite simple and extremely shabby.

As a result, Penghu had no other commodities other than fish, and the governor of Fujian refused to trade with the Dutch until they had withdrawn, so the Dutch had to look for supplies and trade opportunities on the coast near Xiamen, and even robbed the ships of the Ming Dynasty, or boarded the 6 and then plundered villages in search of supplies.

Li Hongyu knew very well that neither the governor of Fujian nor Leiersen had the power to decide on the Dutch's invasion of Penghu, and the two could only report to their respective superiors for their own requests, and the superiors would make decisions.

Although the Dutch occupied Penghu, but because of their small number of people and lack of strength, Li Hongyu ignored it for the time being, and the thing he was concerned about now was whether Geng Yi and Yaoqin could be found by Liu Dahai and Shi Hu's people, as long as the two appeared, then Shi Hu knew that the brothel was done by Wang Ren.

After Shi Hu learned the news that Yaoqin and Geng Yi were together, he sent his henchmen to lead people to meet with Liu Dahai's subordinates and find the two together.
