Chapter 301: The Indigenous Saucer!
Arozo knew that the news that Zheng Tianfang told him would definitely not have any water, and he had to deeply understand the abilities and means of that Young Master Liang, so even if Zheng Tianfang told him that Young Master Liang had razed the Netherlands to the ground, he would believe it, of course, he would be curious about the means he used.
"Okay, now what we're going to do is get as many of your people as possible to infiltrate the city of Jakarta. As soon as the young master's army arrives, you will launch it immediately, and me and my people are only responsible for that one task, and the rest is what you and your people should do. ”
"Don't worry, murder and arson are our favorite things to do, and besides, you're sure those natives will agree to ...... then."
"Of course, they want to hide the affairs of Sulawesi as much as they can, but they can't stop other people's mouths, not to mention, those natives are not deaf and blind, we will naturally let them know." The corners of Zheng Tianfang's mouth showed a hint of evil and smug smile.
"The young master's army is enough to level the whole of Jakarta, why would he do this?" Aroso removed the wig from his head and scratched his scalp with a confused expression.
"What do you think those natives are good about? It's just a pack of wolves that can't be fed. We Chinese came to this land hundreds of years ago, bringing them peace, but what about them? Greed becomes a surname, milk is a mother, and he is lazy, but he is jealous of the achievements of hard-working people. And the Chinese who died at their hands were no less than those who died at the hands of the Dutch. Zheng Tianfang sneered.
"You're right, those natives are black, ugly, short, rough, lazy and cruel, and I think they are like moths in the land. I owe them the slightest favor, for we recruited these natives as pirates, only to find that they were greedy for life and death when they fought and divided the spoils of war, but they were able to draw their swords against their companions for a coin. Arroso also complained with disdain, as if his pirate-turned-intelligence agent was the most noble gentleman in the world.
"What the young master means is to let them eat dogs with the Dutch, whether they bite and win the Dutch, or the Dutch clean them up, it will only be good for us and our compatriots, you know, this colony of the Dutch, the young master has already taken a fancy to it. It will be the best transit point between our Central Luzon Islands and the Australian Islands. Therefore, it is better for both sides to lose both, or even to the death. Zheng Tianfang said coldly.
"You're right, those people are indeed worse than brutes, originally I thought we pirates were vicious and vicious enough, but I didn't expect that those so-called officials and gentlemen were even more brutal than us." Arroso drew a cross on his chest: "May God punish them." ”
Zheng Tianfang pursed his lips: "There is no need for God, our young master has already begun to punish these beasts, and they will pay the due price for this." ”
--------------------
"Brother Zheng, my father has already arrived at the corner of the street, and he will be in the shop soon." At this time, a crisp and cheerful voice came from outside the hut, like a nightingale.
Zheng Tianfang hurriedly replied: "Okay, Ah Xiu, you go and deal with your father first, and I will come out immediately." ”
There was a crisp sound of consent outside, and a rush of footsteps disappeared into the distance, and Zheng Tianfang's face never disappeared from his face after hearing the voice of Xiaoxiu.
"You're in love." Arozo, a pirate in the past, and now an upstart, is actually a capable veteran of the love field in private, and commented on Zheng Tianfang.
Zheng Tianfang's face was slightly red, but he just smiled and didn't dwell on this issue: "Okay, this is not something you should be concerned about, Mr. Arozo." ”
"As a companion, your life is also the focus of my concern, if you need it, you can ask me for advice, you know, I have had many women." Arozo's expression became incomparably silver at this moment.
"I want to beat you!" Seeing Arozo's face, Zheng Tianfang was a little crying and laughing, and he gritted his teeth.
Xiao Xiu, who was chattering with his father on the pavement, looked happy, and Uncle Huang's son Huang Tiancheng looked at his daughter's appearance and couldn't help shaking his head like his father. "I said Xiaoxiu, this time I went to the shop, why did you pull me to talk about the things of heaven, Mo Tian, you just watched him do nothing all day long."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiu's face turned red all of a sudden, and her big watery eyes were full of shame: "What did Daddy say, I didn't keep staring at him."
"Okay, okay, what is the matter with your big brother Zheng in the end, Daddy's ears are calloused." Huang Tiancheng said deliberately, and when he saw that Zheng Tianfang accompanying that Arozo out, he put away his heart of joking with his daughter and walked forward. "Oh, it's actually Boss Ah who came to the shop, it's really a bright wall, Xiaoxiu, why don't you tell Daddy that Boss Ah is here."
"Don't be so polite, Boss Huang, we are not only business partners, but also friends, dear Brother Huang. Hehe, okay, all the goods, Xiao Zheng has already counted them, does Boss Huang need to take a look at them again? Aroso winked at Zheng Tianfang beside him, and received a vicious threatening look from the other party. How happy is Alrozo's heart, well, if this kid is really Boss Huang's daughter becomes a couple, won't he be a generation higher than this boss? The more I think about it, the happier I feel.
Huang Tiancheng insisted on sending Arozo to the street, looking at the backs of the two, Zheng Tianfang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Damn Arozo, wait and see, see how I clean you up then." ”
"What's wrong with Brother Zheng, did that friend of yours offend you?" Xiao Xiu blinked her big beautiful eyes and raised her head full of doubts.
"Hmph, of course, this kid actually wants to grow up with me, when I can't see what the hell he has in mind." Zheng Tianfang still said with some indignation.
"Older than you, he is not your friend? He ......" Xiaoxiu suddenly stopped, her big eyes blinked a few times, and her cheeks were instantly dyed a magnificent pink like the most delicate flowers. "I'll go to the backyard first to see if the goods have been counted...... Brother Zheng. After saying this, Xiao Xiu ran towards the backyard in panic like a deer chased by a hunter who had been cornered.
Zheng Tianfang looked at Xiaoxiu's slender figure, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved, and the smile on his face could be compared to the blazing sun that day.
"Something is not going well, Your Excellency, for both the Sultan of Mataram and the Sultan of Banten have demanded the purchase price of spices and various products, and have demanded that we pay in cash. And there are a lot of requirements. Jakarta's provincial governor, Sneijder, was sweating from his fat face, like a roasted game on a fire.
Groening, the governor of the Dutch colony, took the documents handed over by Nasneid, looked at them several times with a gloomy face, and then handed them to the old Van Persie, a staff member beside him. Groening sneered, "This is simply ridiculous, and it actually asks us to increase the purchase price by ten times." And let's reduce the price of salt and other necessities. Who do they think they are?! ”
"It seems that they already know what happened in Makassar, otherwise, they would never have dared to make such an unwarranted request, I am sure." Fan Peixiang's wrinkled old chrysanthemum face was full of worry.
Hearing this, Groening immediately set his eyes on Sneijder's face. Sneijder's face was equally shocked. "This is impossible, Fanny is now in my mansion, under strict guard, and even the guards are not allowed to approach without my orders, and the guards guarding him have been my confidants for many years."
--------------------
"Your Excellency, you don't have to look for reasons from within, if my guess is correct, the other party must have promised a lot of conditions to those natives, and these are the temptations of those natives. A temptation for our Dutch colonists. Van Persie Sr. was very sure and very resolute.
"You mean, yes, yes, it must be the damned British, and if they dare to do that, why don't they dare to inform the stupid natives of this and let them be the vanguard of the death." Governor Groening, worthy of being a minister retained by King William V of the Netherlands, quickly understood what his staff meant.
The big hand slammed on the table, and his eyes almost turned red: "Despicable, too despicable. ”
"Your Excellency, now is not the time to be angry, we must respond as soon as possible, you know, one of the most important reasons why we keep their positions in Mataram and Banten is that we hope that they can contain the Chinese on Java for us, but now, they have betrayed us, if we give in, then they will definitely gain an inch." Snead waved his arms angrily, shaking his face and the fat on his body.
"Mr. Van Persie, I would like to hear your advice." Groening raised his arm and motioned for Sneijder to be calm, looking at his most trusted staff member with a very serious expression.
"If it were me, I would have used the same tactics as the iron-fisted Governor of the Nation and the Chinese rebellion forty years ago, when I was only a soldier, but I still firmly believe that only by force can we bring the damned natives to their knees!" Van Persie Sr. clenched his fists tightly and voiced his opinion.
"Well, I agree with Mr. Van Persie's suggestion, but now, under the threat of the British, we do not have enough forces to control the entire colony." Sneijder's statement did not bother Governor Groening.
"Since it is not enough to control the whole colony, but I don't think we should let the natives dare to talk to us in that kind of attitude, Mr. Sneijder, put all the envoys to death, and tell the Sultan of Mataram and the Sultan of Banten, if they think that the British will be their saviors, then, I have only one word, they are wrong, and they are wrong!" Governor Groening smiled slightly, the teeth baring from the corners of his mouth looking pale and pale.
