In fact, there is no need for Charlie to say, Zhu Youzhen must also escape. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but to be able to come to Taiwan from Diaoyu Island, instead of being buried in the belly of a fish or trapped on the island, this is already much better than the worst-case scenario imagined by Zhu Youzhen. As for how to get rid of the Dutch care next, he didn't have time to think about it.

Looking at Charlie's impatient look, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help asking, "Didn't you just say that the King of England would ransom you back with ransom?" So why risk running away? ”

Charlie gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know, the royal family is now on the verge of bankruptcy, I'm afraid I can't come up with such a large amount of money, so I can only fund it from Congress." But the MPs hated me in the first place, and when they saw me captured by the Dutch, they were afraid that they would not be happy enough to pay for me.

"My king has been very ill lately, and if the matter is left unresolved, and my king dies, and I am not in the country, those little people will abolish my inheritance and make another king. Therefore, I must hurry back to the country as soon as possible, and I cannot wait for the Dutch to negotiate with my king. What I need most now is a boat, a boat! ”

"I'm afraid I can't help you with anything," Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment before he said, "Now we are all prisoners, and we don't even have freedom of movement, so where do we go to get a boat?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already arranged it." Charlie, however, said confidently, "Captain Pete has just said that in view of my noble status, the Dutch will treat us with courtesy and will not restrict our freedom too much. Because of the importance of the matter, Pete did not dare to call the shots himself, and had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Governor Cohen in Batavia. I guess Cohen will take me to Batavia first, but it will take about a month to get back and forth from here to Batavia.

"In this month's time, it's up to Your Highness! You are Chinese, and the slaves who do hard labor here are also Chinese. I have just asked Pete that in order to reduce the amount of ransom, I am willing to be an overseer for them and supervise the work of the slaves, and Pete agreed. So you have the opportunity to reach those Chinese! Then you have to encourage them to rebel against the Dutch, and we can take the opportunity to grab a boat and go to sea! …”

"No, no, absolutely not!" Before Charlie could finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen immediately denied his idea, "Have you thought about it, the Dutch are all armed, and we and those workers are unarmed." What are the chances of success if you start rashly, as you said? Even if we can grab a boat and escape from the chaos, what about the rest of these people? Can a boat fit thousands of people? ”

"What do you care about those people," muttered Charlie dissatisfied, "I am the Prince, and you are the Prince, but they are just ordinary people!" If a nobleman does not have the courage to make decisions and trade-offs, he is not worthy of being a nobleman! ”

"What's wrong with ordinary people, ordinary people are not human beings, they can die casually? If you believe in God, doesn't the Bible say that all men are created equal? Zhu Youzhen saw that Charlie was so ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, and he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately ridiculed him.

Charlie was choked by Zhu Youzhen, and then turned his head away with a grim face and ignored him.

Zhu Youzhen also felt that he was a little excessive, as the saying goes, don't slap people in the face, don't expose their shortcomings when scolding, and he ruthlessly exposed the "equality" that Westerners love to boast of in one sentence, and of course Charlie can't get off the stage. Anyway, people have saved their lives, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to owe Charlie this favor.

So he had to persuade Charlie: "What are you anxious about? I didn't say I wouldn't run away, but your plan was a little too reckless. Isn't there still a month to go, and let's pretend to be overseers and observe the Dutch's vigilance. If we were not on guard, we could have fled, so why should we lose so many lives. ”

Charlie was helpless, so he had to say angrily: "You look at it, I'm going to sleep!" With that, he unceremoniously occupied the only large bed in the room.

Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't provoke him, but just leaned against the wall at random and quietly discussed the plan to get out.

The next morning, the Dutch escorted them to work as overseers. Zhu Youzhen quietly told Charlie that he wanted him to be the supervisor of the farmland outside the city, after all, it was easier to escape from outside the city than from inside the city.

This time Charlie was very happy, and he was willing to try as long as there was any hope of escaping. So he immediately went to the Dutch, and the Dutch agreed.

The three of them went to the farmland outside the city under the watchful eye of a team of Dutch soldiers, but they were immediately dumbfounded. The farmland where they were supposed to oversee the work was surrounded by a high wooden fence and a sentry tower at the four corners, which was guarded by heavily armed soldiers, and it was not much like a prison.

When I entered the fence, I saw dozens of Chinese slaves working in the fields under the scorching sun and sweating. The Dutchman gave Charlie a few words, and then locked them in the fence gate and locked them from the outside.

Charlie saw that there was no possibility of escape here, so he couldn't help but be disappointed, and he didn't have the heart to supervise the work, so he sat on the ground dejectedly and said: "If I knew this, it would be better to supervise the work in the city, at least there is still some shade to rest!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was so excited that his face was red, and he plunged into the field, caressing the branches and leaves of those crops in surprise, and even his hands were trembling slightly!

It turned out that this field was full of crops from the New World, in addition to potatoes that had not yet been harvested, there were also corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, sunflowers, peppers, pumpkins and a series of other crops, and even a ridge of tobacco.

Looking at these crops that were commonplace in the previous life but very rare in this era, Zhu Youzhen was like a treasure. He didn't care about the scorching sun at all, just stood in the field and chatted with the working slaves, all about how to water and fertilize a certain crop. In spite of the excitement, he also personally went into battle to loosen the soil for crops and catch insects.

Charlie saw it and said disdainfully: "Hey, we are here to supervise the work, not to do farm work!" A king does not need to know how to farm, it is the work of the peasants; He doesn't need to know how to govern the country, that's the minister's business. The king has only one mission, and that is to lead his army to victory over the enemy! If you put too much energy into these trivial matters, you won't be a good king! ”

Zhu Youzhen said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Charlie, that's Europe, not China." With us, even the emperor had to plough and persuade the peasants. Because we don't live by plundering, everything we eat is harvested from our land! ”
