Spexes only felt creepy, if he usually heard such laughter, he must have felt very kind, people who made this kind of hearty laughter generally have a bold personality and are easy to get along with others, but today's Zheng Zhilong made his heart tremble, as if he was laughing at him, a toad, and wanted to eat the whole swan.

Today, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a gentle drizzle, a stormy rain, a night rain in Bashan, and a downpour in the future.

But Spex's heart was not clear, his face was gloomy, and he no longer cared about the gentlemanly demeanor he had always maintained.

The first peace talks ended with Zheng Zhilong's laughter and Speix's gloom.

Zheng Zhilong's fleet did not return to Malacca, but went northeast and entered Pontianak in western Borneo.

Pontianak is a relatively concentrated place of Han Chinese in the east of the Kajiang estuary, with a total number of more than 20,000, of which several thousand are engaged in business and assisting in business in the city.

Zheng Zhilong anchored at the mouth of the Kajiang River and then landed from the east bank, most of the personnel stayed on the ship and outside the city, and he only brought a personal guard of more than 100 people into the city.

The procession of one hundred and ten men wandered aimlessly through the streets, and Han Chinese could be seen everywhere in the city, as well as some blonde and blue-eyed whites, presumably Dutch.

The Dutch were very surprised to see them in full armor, but seeing that they had no ill intentions, the Dutch also drove them away, but only patrolled the city since ancient times.

Zheng Zhilong They did not harass the people in the city, but the Han people in the city harassed them, and the Han people pointed at them from afar, and even stopped to watch, as if they were monsters from Mars.

The guards didn't care, they puffed up their chests one by one, their breath was high, and their eyes did not squint, as if they were in the middle of a military parade.

The group walked in front of a tall building, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a three-story building, and at the entrance of the lowest floor, there was a huge plaque with five golden characters written in Chinese characters: Pontianak Seafood Restaurant.

Zheng Zhilong happened to be a little hungry, so he was about to go in and taste the seafood, "Brothers, it's almost noon, let's dine here to see if the seafood in Pontianak is authentic." ”

"Yes, Commander."

The guards immediately made arrangements, Zheng Zhilong took ten guards to eat in the open, leaving forty guards downstairs to meet Zheng Zhilong, and the rest of the guards went to dine first, and then came back to replace the guards downstairs for dinner.

Zheng Zhilong took the lead and entered the seafood restaurant.

Xiao Er saw the guests coming, politely greeted them over, and when he saw the outfits of Zheng Zhilong and others, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't react slowly, and then bowed and saluted: "The military master wants to eat, please upstairs!" ”

Zheng Zhilong followed Xiao Er up to the third floor and picked a room near the window, where ten soldiers sat around Zheng Zhilong.

"What do you want to use?"

"Serve your signature dish and have a pot of wine."

"Master Jun, wait a minute, it'll be fine right away." Xiao Er glanced at Zheng Zhilong again and silently exited the room.

Zheng Zhilong looked out of the window, the street was full of traffic, and the two-wheeled vehicles transporting goods could be seen at any time, either to the dock or from the dock, and he couldn't help but think that this should be the prosperous place in the city.

After a simple count, there were more than 30% of the Han people in the past, and nearly 20% of the Dutch, and the rest were probably local natives, the Europeans were blonde and blue-eyed, and they were easy to recognize, but the local aborigines were somewhat similar to the Han people, but the body was slightly shorter, the face was dark, and the eyebrow bones were prominent.

Zheng Zhilong didn't see the Dutch security forces, maybe they were hiding in an inconspicuous corner, secretly spying on themselves, Zheng Zhilong was not afraid of any friction with the Dutch, if the two sides had friction in Pontianak, maybe it would be good for the peace talks.

However, the other party did not appear, and Zheng Zhilong did not have the desire to take the initiative to provoke.

"Master Jun, your food is here." Xiao Er's words interrupted Zheng Zhilong's contemplation, he was holding a rectangular tray in both hands, with a white delicate wine jug and several wine cups on the plate, as well as a few seafood, the seafood was steaming, obviously just out of the pot.

Xiao Er was followed by a middle-aged man, dressed in a gray robe, square face, a little wide nose, and a cleanly shaved beard, but revealing dark cyan fibrous roots, and his hair was neatly combed back to the back of his head.

He saluted Zheng Zhilong, "Master Jun, can I sit down?" ”

"Are you ......" Zheng Zhilong thought about it, he shouldn't have seen this person, and he didn't know why he came to the door.

"This is the proprietor of our seafood restaurant, Boss Chen." Xiao Er hurriedly answered, and then put down the seafood and went out.

"The contemptible Chen Da is the proprietor of this small seafood restaurant." Chen Da bowed to Zheng Zhilong again.

Zheng Zhilong said lightly: "Since you are the proprietor, then sit down." He reluctantly returned the salute, the other party did not know what to do, he would not be too enthusiastic.

"Chen thanked the military master!" Chen Da carefully sat down opposite Zheng Zhilong.

"You're welcome, this is your seafood restaurant, you can sit wherever you want." Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, and now he is a soldier, and he is a little unaccustomed to Chen Da's literary and crepe appearance.

"The military master laughed, now the military master is a guest, this room, this dining table, naturally it is up to the military master to decide, Chen is bothering the military master," Chen Da got up and filled the wine cup for Zheng Zhilong, he found that Zheng Zhilong had an escort on him, he should be a senior officer, and while pouring wine, he casually asked: "The military master is a soldier of the South China Sea Fleet?" ”

"Exactly, we passed by the neighborhood and stopped by Pontianak for a seafood meal." Zheng Zhilong raised the wine cup and drank a glass with Chen Da.

"That military master is ......" Chen Da looked at Zheng Zhilong carefully, both wanting to hear some information, but also worried about angering Zheng Zhilong, the Ming soldiers have never entered Borneo, and now this general has entered Pontianak with his own soldiers, showing off his might, I don't know what follow-up means there are, with the current strength of the South China Sea Fleet, it should not be such a simple matter as tasting seafood.

"It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning......" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, "It's Chen Dongzhu's seafood restaurant, which is very magnificent." ”

"Chen Mou is just begging for food under the Dutch, which makes the general smile," just as Xiao Er came in with food again, Chen Da said to Xiao Er: "Tell me to go down, I will invite you to come up with all the good dishes in the kitchen for today's meal for the distinguished guests of the South China Sea Fleet." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Er said yes and trotted out.

"Proprietor Chen, we have no merit, so embarrassed?" Zheng Zhilong was a little humble for a while, and then had a drink with Chen Da.

"Master Jun, Chen has been away from home for many years, and when he saw the army of the Ming Dynasty in Pontianak, he felt very cordial and happy for a while, so Master Jun doesn't have to mind." Chen Da was telling the truth, if it weren't for Zheng Zhilong's indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Chen Da really had a feeling of "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country".

At that time, Zheng He went to the West seven times, along the way was either commerce and trade, or to promote national prestige, and had good relations with the Nanyang countries, never disputes and conflicts, and the people of Nanyang often remembered Zheng He's feats.

Now the South China Sea Fleet has entered the South Seas, from the island of Taiwan Luzon, to Malacca, several wars down, let the Ming further Yang Wei South Seas, although the South China Sea countries no longer exist, but the people of the South who got the information are looking forward to the Ming fleet can go further, drive away the red-haired ghosts, and save the common people.

If Zheng He preached the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty when he went to the West, then the victory of the South China Sea Fleet made people have a sense of awe for the Ming Dynasty, and the status of the Han people in the South China Sea was also rising, and they were stained with the light of the South China Sea Fleet.

Chen Da is a businessman, and he wants to find out the next move of the South China Sea Fleet so that he can make the right decision.

Will the South China Sea Fleet officially enter Borneo?

"Proprietor Chen, business has always been good, right?" Zheng Zhilong threw out a sentence without being salty, Chen Da took the initiative to treat him, he didn't have any gratitude, such a big seafood restaurant, he shouldn't be poor if he invited himself to a meal, right?

Besides, if you really have to charge, Zheng Zhilong is not unable to pay, the South China Sea Fleet occupies Malacca and confiscates a large amount of Portuguese property, and he is not nervous at hand, otherwise the personal guard team of one hundred and ten people would not dare to pick such a high-end seafood restaurant.

"Thanks to the military master, the business is okay." Chen Da had another drink with Zheng Zhilong, he wanted to open his mouth several times and ask about the next move of the South China Sea Fleet, but Zheng Zhilong looked at him left and right, Chen Da did not dare to make a mistake, maybe it was the military secret of the South China Sea Fleet.

"It's going well, isn't it? Will the natives, the Dutch, come and make trouble? Zheng Zhilong knew what Chen Da was going to ask, but he hadn't made a decision yet, and he couldn't use Chen Da's mouth to promote it in Borneo for the time being, so he had to divert the topic.

"It's nothing for the natives, they don't come here to eat." Chen Da played with the wine cup in his hand, as if he was expecting something.

Zheng Zhilong understood that the indigenous people were engaged in agricultural production in the local area, or worked as coolies for the Dutch, and the surplus was limited, so they could not afford such a high-end seafood restaurant, "What about the Dutch?" Will they oppress the local Han Chinese? ”

"In addition to the heavier taxes for the Han people, the Dutch rarely interfere with them," Chen Da turned to a wry smile, "It's just that the Dutch security army is really difficult, and they don't give money to eat, and these people are often drunk, and when they get drunk, they make trouble, and they drop dishes or something, and they will even drive the customers away from the store, which seriously affects the reputation of the store." ”

"So what do you do? Don't they have the law of kings? "Zheng Zhilong just heard how the Dutch governed Borneo.

"Wang Fa? That's to the Dutch, we Han Chinese, have no power in the local area, the Dutch army will not protect us, they are only here to demand taxes, how can they care if we live or die? Chen Da shook his head and sighed, he suddenly looked at Zheng Zhilong expectantly, "General, will you still come?" ”

"Yes, we'll definitely come."

Zheng Zhilong said goodbye to Chen Da and left the seafood restaurant, from this moment on, he had already decided that Borneo must belong to Daming.
