After the contract was signed, Fan Jinyan did not delay any longer, and immediately ordered Li Shuisheng, the commander of the northern fleet of the Qiongzhou Navy, to lead more than 200 warships to the north to help the Ming Dynasty assist in defense.

"Jing Haihou, now that the contract has been signed, why did you go back on your word?" When they learned that Fan Jinyan had only sent half of the fleet north, the two who had not left hurriedly came to question.

After listening, Fan Jinyan just smiled faintly, "You signed the contract, but can you represent the emperor?" When Benhou saw the emperor's decree and population, he would naturally send another fleet north, so you should hurry back and tell the emperor the good news! ”

Good news?

I don't even know how to explain it when I go back

Soon, the Ming delegation left Qiongzhou, ready to go back to accept Chongzhen's wrath.

In fact, regardless of whether Chongzhen recognized their contract or not, Fan Jinyan would only send a fleet north. After all, the South Seas are not very peaceful, and without a fleet for self-defense, he can't sleep at night.

After a long time, a knighthood, a general's title, 100,000 taels of silver and 300,000 people were exchanged for a fleet of only more than 200 ships that completely disobeyed his orders. I don't know if Chongzhen will be angry and cut down Wang Wenyuan and Hou Qi after knowing this result.

Moreover, Fan Jinyan also added such a sentence in his letter to Li Shuisheng, which must ensure that only our fleet is in the North Sea and the East China Sea, and the rest will be annihilated.

The meaning of this sentence is that Li Shuisheng, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, or the pirate, will annihilate them all, control the entire sea area in his own hands, and prepare for the future.

Chongzhen was worried that Holland was a greedy wolf, but he didn't know that he finally hired a fox that was worse and greedy than a wolf

Almost when the imperial envoys left Qiongzhou from Nanzhou Port, more than 200 warships of the Li Shuisheng Department of the Navy stationed in Qiongshan Port also set off at the same time, bypassing the vast South China Sea and sailing to the East China Sea to complete the mission given to them by Fan Jinyan.

At this time, another guest came to the port of Nanzhou, the pirate Jill representing the British East India Company.

To be precise, he came to ask Fan Jinyan for an explanation.

Since the fall of Spain and Portugal, and the rise of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the two countries have fought no less than 100 naval battles for colonies and trade with the East for decades, and Britain has always been at a disadvantage.

Gil is ostensibly a great pirate in the South Seas, but in fact a knight who has been awarded the Order of England by the Queen of England, and has been under the command of the British East India Company to help Britain gain a place in the South Seas.

When he signed the Yezidao agreement with Fan Jinyan, he made it clear that he would unanimously deal with the Dutch. Unexpectedly, it was soon discovered that Fan Jinyan had reached a trade cooperation with the Dutch, which was simply ignoring the agreement between the two sides and reneging on the alliance between the two sides.

According to Jill's thinking, leave to lead the pirate alliance to attack Qiongzhou Island, and take the land of low-hanging fruit in one fell swoop. But his idea was quickly dismissed by the company's top brass for the simple reason that it might be a trap.

However, the Westerners' thinking of putting interests first made the British East India Company's top brass believe that it was not impossible for Fan Jinyan to turn his back on the trade agreement with the Dutch as long as Fan Jinyan was given enough benefits. As a result, the British East India Company's mission led by Jill set off from the Indian Ocean and took nearly a month to land at the port of Nanzhou on Qiongzhou Island.

Fan Jinyan had already guessed that Jill would come to settle accounts with him, and originally thought that it would be on the battlefield in the future, but he didn't expect this guy to know so quickly, and he actually appeared as an envoy.

Because Fan Jinyan wanted to annex the whole of Nanyang, the Dutch would be his worst enemy sooner or later. Therefore, England, an ally who is also not a good stubble, is still very needed. At least, for a short time, they were allies.

Therefore, unlike the Dutch envoy's visit, when Jill arrived at Nanzhou Port, Fan Jinyan personally went to greet him, giving this good-faced British beard enough face.

However, Fan Jinyan's enthusiasm did not arouse the favor of Jill, but said in a very formal and official tone: "Your Excellency, I have come to hold trade talks with you on behalf of the British East India Company this time, and I don't know when it will take place. ”

"Friend, don't worry, at least let Ben Hou hold a welcome party for you first," Fan Jinyan said.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jill, "I don't think it's necessary, it's about trade cooperation between the two countries, so it's better to talk about it as soon as possible." ”

Fan Jinyan saw that this guy was actually angry, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he said half-jokingly: "Since you don't recognize us as friends, then there's nothing to talk about, we don't need to cooperate." ”

"Damn." Jill muttered and scolded, and said angrily: "I always thought we were friends, but you broke our covenant, is this what friends do?" I can't wait to bring my fleet over and teach you a lesson, you despicable villain. ”

Gil's upright personality not only did not disgust Fan Jinyan, but there was a trace of appreciation, so he smiled: "But you don't, my friend." I think in the next meeting, you will understand what I mean, at least, I have not broken the covenant between us. Please! I have prepared a grand welcome party for you. ”

After saying that, despite Jill's twisting, he dragged him into his carriage.

At this point, Jill understands, no matter how stupid she is.

In the East, if the ruler lets you accompany him on the carriage, it is the highest honor.

Could it be that he was really just taking advantage of the Dutch?

Looking at the young ruler who was sitting on the side and talking to himself.

At this moment, Jill faltered
