"Owner, what will you do in the future?" Sending away Tagawa Ichiro, a retainer of the Matsuura family who came to warn, Song Liben asked Ren Siqi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Do what you have to do, and the Dutch will never be allowed to go ashore! We're moving a bit big these days, and we can't let the Dutch find any clues! Ren Siqi said.

In the past two months, Qiyun Commercial Bank has continued to buy ships and recruit people, although these actions are carried out in secret, but they can't help but show some deeds. In order to cover up his tracks, in order to weaken the strength of the Dutch, Ren Siqi formulated an assassination strategy, sending Japanese samurai with high martial skills to lurk all over Nagasaki and attack any Dutch who dared to come ashore. As far as Ren Siqi knows, there are only one or twenty real Dutch people on each Dutch ship, and most of the rest are native servants from the South Seas. As long as a few more Dutch are killed, the strength of the Dutch will be greatly weakened, and the others will naturally never dare to go ashore again, so that the information that Qiyun Commercial Bank is recruiting people to buy ships may be covered up.

Ren Siqi regarded this conflict with the Dutch as a war, and since it was a war, he would do everything!

"But what if someone else snitched the Dutch?" Song Liben said suddenly.

"Do you mean the Zheng family? No, they are also Ming people, they shouldn't do such a shameless thing! Ren Siqi was also a little unsure.

"How not! Have you forgotten what the Zheng family used to do, they had cooperated with the Dutch and the Franco, what if they cooperated again? Song Liben didn't believe in the Zheng family.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven! As long as the Zheng family doesn't openly help the Dutch. Ren Siqi sighed.

On the Five Islands, Zheng Hongkui met with the Dutch who came to visit in the base camp of the Zheng family on the island, and Zheng Sen, who had nothing to do, sat aside.

"General Zheng, please help us the Dutch no matter what. Now we Dutch can no longer go ashore in Nagasaki, and the streets of Nagasaki are full of assassins from the Qiyun Trading Company, and we can't even go ashore to resupply. Geert asked Zheng Hongkui for help.

"Mr. Geert, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, Nagasaki is the territory of the Japanese, you should go to Matsuura Dong!" Zheng Hongkui said lightly.

"I've gone to look for him, but the lord of the Matsuura clan doesn't want to ask about it at all, so I can't help it." Geert said anxiously.

"That's it!" Zheng Hongkui was silent for a long time.

"General Zheng, your Zheng family and us Dutch have been cooperating well for more than ten years, as long as you are willing to help me this time, we Dutch people will not forget the friendship of the Zheng family!" Geert pleaded, but there was a hint of menace in his tone.

"Captain Geert, I sympathize with what happened to you, so be it. Our Zheng family is responsible for the supply, whether your Dutch ship needs food or water, just come to me, I will provide it for you according to the market price. As if he didn't hear the meaning of Geert's words clearly, Zheng Hongkui said indifferently.

"General Zheng, I think you may not understand what I mean," Geert said solemnly: "Although the matter of supply is a little troublesome, we can still solve it ourselves, we want to ask the Zheng family to come forward and put pressure on the Japanese government to strictly investigate the murderers of the Dutch and maintain peace on the ground of Nagasaki." ”

The relationship between the Zheng family and the Dutch is actually very delicate, Zheng Zhilong used to do things for the Dutch when he was not born, and he had been cooperating with the Dutch when he was a pirate before being recruited. Nine times out of ten, the Ming immigrants on Dayuan Island moved from the mainland to Dayuan under the operation of Zheng Zhilong. In Zheng Zhilong's opinion, after all, the number of Dutch is too small, and there are only about 1,000 Dutch people in the entire Dayuan Island, and occupying a few fortresses is already its limit. After all, the Dutch came thousands of miles to do business, to make money, not to expand their territory.

Dayuan Island is very large, Zheng Zhilong thinks that he should have no problem coexisting with the Dutch, and he regards Dayuan as his inheritance.

From the beginning, only a few people of the Ming Dynasty went to Dayuan to fish, and with the unremitting efforts of Zheng Zhilong and others, tens of thousands of fishermen from the coastal areas of Fujian came to Dayuan, they farmed, they fished, and they made all kinds of items. The barren southwest of Dayuan became more and more prosperous under the hard work of the Ming immigrants, which also aroused the covetousness of the Dutch.

When Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the imperial court, the base was also moved from Dayuan Bengang to the mainland. The Dutch, who had long coveted the affluence of the Bengang generation in the west of Dayuan, launched an attack on Bengang and expelled the Zheng family's influence in Dayuan. This is also the main reason why the Zheng family and the Dutch are at odds with each other. Speaking of which, the Dutch are still very smart, much smarter than the Spaniards who occupied the chicken coop in the north of Dayuan Island at the same time, and they are very good to the Han immigrants from the mainland, and encourage the mainlanders to immigrate to Dayuan on very favorable terms. Countless poor people from the mainland left their homes and came to Dayuan, where the land was fertile, the wind and rain were smooth, and the taxes of the Dutch were much lighter than those of the Ming government, and the Han people worked hard to grow rice, sugarcane and other goods. The production of Hermes-Epitek later became an important trade commodity for the Dutch with foreign countries.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to let the big man he had worked so hard to develop be seized by the Dutch, and he had many conflicts with the Dutch. At this time, Zheng Zhilong was already the chief soldier of the imperial court's coastal defense, with the entire imperial court as the backing, and all the naval armies along the coast of Fujian were under his command. In the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch fleet, and the forced Dutch fleet did not dare to get close to the mainland, so he controlled the trade rights of the entire coast. Of course, in the war, Zheng Zhilong also saw the power of Dutch ships, and their ships were far from being comparable to the Ming Fu ships, and they often needed ten times the number of ships to win.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong already controlled the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was north to Japan or south to the South Seas, ships had to fly the Zheng family's flag, and they could get millions of taels of silver every year from trade. A series of agreements were reached with the Dutch. The agreement stipulated that the Dayuan would be completely ruled by the Dutch, and that the Dutch would no longer harass the Ming coast, and that the Zheng family would provide the Dutch with a certain amount of raw silk every year.

Therefore, the relationship between the Zheng family and the Dutch at this time was very delicate, and the two sides cooperated with each other and were wary of each other.

Zheng Hongkui listened to Geert's request, thought about it carefully, and knew that he couldn't completely refuse the Dutch, and Ren Siqi's Qiyun Trading House had indeed made a bit of a big move recently, and he had to beat it up.

"Well, Mr. Geert, I think I see what you mean. I'm going to put pressure on the Matsuura family, and something like the Dutchman being stabbed in Nagasaki shouldn't happen again! Zheng Hongkui said.

"Also, Mr. Geert, don't despise Qiyun Firm, otherwise you will suffer a big loss!" When Geert said goodbye, Zheng Hongkui reminded inadvertently. (To be continued.) )
