Chapter 292: The Treaty of Moon and Harbor
In the slightly dim room, the faint candlelight kept flickering, shining on Putmans's slightly pale face, since he was captured, Putmans has not rested well, especially the armistice agreement is like a mountain directly pressing him out of breath, now it is the ugly time of Ming time, and Putmans is still sleepy, he is still staring at the armistice agreement in a daze, suddenly, his door was opened, and the voice of the Ming soldier came from outside: "Go in!" Then he saw a familiar voice appear in front of him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lang Bi is Brother?!" Putmans said in surprise.
"Sir Putmans!" Lang Bi gave a military salute to Ricgo.
"Why are you here?" Putmans said in surprise.
Lang Bi was immediately embarrassed and said: "Captured by the Ming army!" ”
Putmans' eyes widened even more when he heard this, then he closed the door, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Sit down and speak!" ”
After listening to the order, Brother Lang Bi sat down, struggled for a while, and then said: "Since the commander led the fleet out, I have been waiting for the news of your triumph in Resharan City, but unfortunately I didn't wait, but waited for the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, sir, the fleet of the Ming Kingdom is too strong, and we have no power to resist and are defeated, I believe that even the fleet that has exhausted our whole country is not necessarily the opponent of the Ming fleet!" "Lang Bi, that is, Brother Li, naturally won't tell the shameful thing that he was controlled by the women of the Ming Kingdom.
"When was it?" Putmans asked.
"The night before yesterday! The Ming army has launched an attack on our city of Reshalan! In less than three hours, we were defeated! In fact, we didn't resist at all, the artillery of the Ming army bombarded for more than two hours, and the city of Resharan was bombed into ruins, and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties! No more power! Sir! We've done our best! Lang Bi said in a choked voice.
Putmans sighed, patted Lang Bi Rigo on the shoulder and said, "I understand! That fleet is only half of the Ming fleet! Don't talk about you, just Zheng Zhilong's fleet, in less than half an hour, was wiped out! ”
"What?!" Langbi's eyes widened, and when he heard Putmans say this, his heart suddenly balanced a lot.
"What is the movement of the Ming army today?" Putmans asked.
"The Ming army took over the city of Resharan and began to manage it, and then except for a small number of ships left, most of them went out again, and the route seemed to be going north!" Lang Bi Ric replied.
"In this way, it seems that the Ming army is also going to do something against the Spaniards! In the future, Taiwan will completely become the territory of the Ming Kingdom! Putmans sighed.
"Sir! Even if the city of Resharan is lost, it will not affect us very much! Lang Bi Ric replied.
Putmans looked at Lang Bi and said, "Do you think the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will let us go so easily?" This is the truce they gave, you can take a look! As he spoke, he handed the armistice agreement to Lang Bi Li Ge, who took it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he shouted in red: "We will fight to the end!" ”
"How to fight?!" Putmans glanced at Langbi Ricgo, and Langbi Ricco was speechless.
"You've also seen the military strength of the Ming Kingdom, how sure do you think we are?" Putmans asked.
After hearing this, Brother Lang Bi began to think quickly in his heart, and after a while, he smiled bitterly, and then shook his head, but still said: "If we agree, then all our efforts in Asia will be in vain!" Besides, Governor Carpentil would not agree! The council will not agree either! ”
"The commander of the Ming army's fleet said! If you don't agree to them, you'll knock us out of Asia! I believe they have this ability, and we have no ability to withstand the attack of the Ming army! Putmans spread his hands.
After hearing this, Lang Bi was speechless for a while, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, and Putmans sighed and said, "Let's do this first! There are two rooms where you rest! Go ahead! ”
Lang Bi and Brother Li also sighed, got up and gave a military salute and said, "Yes!" Sir! And he went back to his house.
The next day, a guard sent a letter from Putmans to Wang Zaijin, and at the same time said: "Governor Wang, the red-haired fan said to hand over this letter to their Governor of the Dutch East India Company, Carpentil, and the chart is also in this envelope!" ”
"Got it! Stand down! Wang Zaijin waved his hand.
"Yes!" The guards respectfully retreated.
"You go and give this letter to Zhongxingwei's people and let them translate it!" Wang Zaijin turned his head to the guards beside him.
"Yes! Governor Wang! The guards took the order.
Three days later, a fleet of ten Ming warships left the harbor and headed for the Dutch East India Company on the charts.
In the western part of Java, Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company was illuminated by the tropical sun, and in the office where the supreme ruler of the Batavian colony had been on the verge of collapse and madness recently, looking at the information in his hand, he kept crumpling him into a paper ball and throwing it into the paper basket, but he still kept picking it out and laying it out again, which seemed to outsiders to be a mental illness.
"It can't be! How is this possible! Carpenter's mouth kept repeating this sentence, but just when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the alarm on the island, and the originally trance-like spirit instantly returned to the original point, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Report to the Governor! A fleet suddenly appeared outside the defense zone! It's coming towards us! The soldier said.
"Fleet? Which country? How many are there? Carpentier asked.
"According to the soldiers on the lookout, the soldiers above are all dressed as Orientals, and they look like they are from the Ming Kingdom! There are ten warships in total! The soldier responded.
"Ming Guo?!" Carpentil was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coldly: "You can't blame me if you send it to the door to find death!" Then he said to the soldiers: "Order! Fire! All the warships in the harbor are assembled and ready to stand by at any time! Also, evacuate all merchant ships in the harbor now! Fast! ”
"Yes!" The soldier saluted and withdrew.
Soon, Carpenterte heard the roar of artillery, it was their artillery, and the corners of Carpenter's mouth couldn't help but curl, as if he saw the Ming warships being smashed by artillery bombardment.
"My lord! The ship we sent to negotiate was sunk by the Red Hair! The guard reported.
"In that case! Then fire! Beat them until they come out and beg us! Chen Zilong ordered, at this time Chen Zilong's life trajectory and the trajectory of history deviated, may be the butterfly effect brought by Chongzhen, Chen Zilong met Wang Zaijin in a chance encounter, his talent was appreciated by Wang Zaijin, plus Chen Zilong has a meritorious career, enthusiasm to serve the court, so he was recommended by Wang Zaijin to enter the Ming Navy, this time is also Wang Zaijin's experience for him.
"Yes!" The guards took the order and went,
