Frank got up to the flagship ship and bowed to Zheng Tai according to his impression.

Looking at the stiff and funny appearance of the ghost, Zheng Tai almost laughed, and he stiffened his face and said forcibly: "This gentleman, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

As soon as Zheng Tai finished speaking, the Chinese hired on the side were busy translating to Frank.

After hearing this, Frank thought for a moment before he said, "Honorable Mr. General, I heard that those Dutch pigs refused your fleet's request to enter the port!" ”

Listening to the Chinese translator, Zheng Tai did not speak and did not deny.

Seeing that Zheng Tai did not respond, Frank continued: "General, you have a huge strength, but those Dutch pigs dare to treat you like this, they simply don't take you seriously, and as an outsider, I can't even look at it. General, you should teach them a hard lesson, so that they know that the dignity of being a strong man is not honorable and provocative......"

Listening to Frank playing the inscription, Zheng Tai didn't interrupt him, and waited until Frank's own mouth was dry and stopped, and then he said, "Say, what are you here for?" ”

Seeing that Zheng Tai had been silent, Frank's heart kept going up and down, for fear that the person in front of him would be like those officials in the Ming Dynasty, and he would not wait to see himself as a Westerner.

Now that he heard that the general in front of him had finally spoken, Frank was somewhat relieved that he would speak.

Frank hurriedly plucked up his confidence and said: "Mr. General, the protector of our country also hates the Netherlands' behavior of hindering free trade, and is willing to join forces with you to deal with the Netherlands." ”

Zheng Tai said expressionlessly: "Now the Netherlands must buy silk and porcelain from China through us, and by selling these, we can make rich profits." Trade lanes are not important to us, and we have no need or reason to deal with our customers. ”

Frank shook his head and said, "General, if that's the case!" You merchants in the four seas don't have to risk your lives on a long voyage. If you want to come here, you want to make a higher profit. Now the Dutch have a monopoly on the trade routes. He is your enemy and our enemy. We should unite to break this impediment to free trade. ”

Zheng Tai said: "What is the benefit to us of eradicating the Netherlands? ”

Frank said with a smile: "Get rid of the Netherlands, what do you think of the two of us dividing up the trade routes controlled by the Netherlands and making high profits?" ”

Zheng Tai said with a cold face: "We have already made a lot of profits, even if we defeat the Netherlands." Controlling some trade routes is only a little more profitable. On the contrary, you, in addition to being able to share the huge profits of the South Seas, can also replace the Netherlands and completely control the maritime trade in the Atlantic. Hmph, the calculation is too good! ”

Frank heard a cold sweat profuse his back. Damn, it's not that the official history of the Chinese people is a bunch of stupid hats, except for saying some ancient sayings that don't know what to say. Don't you understand anything? How can this general even know about the Atlantic.

Looking at the hesitant appearance of the ghost in front of him, Zheng Tai was wanton for a while.

Small, let's get to Lao Tzu Town!

Lao Tzu is not the kind of master who can be confused with a few words at will!

Ay! I often hear the general Zheng Chenggong say that we should attach importance to business, understand the overall situation of the world, and understand the geography of the world.

After listening to it a lot, Lao Tzu also understands that the world is round, although it still feels a little absurd.

also known in the far West; There are countless countries that are quietly developing, and one day they will threaten the East. It will bring great suffering to the yellow race!

Although he didn't believe it very much, the general repeatedly admonished. Lao Tzu listens too much, and he can fool you.

Frank tried to calm his hurried breath and said, "Dear General, although it seems that we have made a lot of profits, Huaxia has a wealth of commodities, and you can completely occupy a broader market. In the long run, it will be you who will profit more!

Zheng Tai said: "No one knows what will happen in the future, or the immediate benefits are more fascinating!" ”

Frank lowered his head and thought quickly, knowing that it would be impossible to persuade the general in front of him if he didn't come up with some dry goods.

Frank looked up and said, "I know you're chasing the Portuguese defeat, but you're running to the side of Batavia. Presumably, there is no detailed chart of this area! To show the good faith of our Republic of England. I'm willing to give you a copy of my chart, so that you can hunt down Portugal!" ”

Hearing that the merchant in front of him was willing to give a Nanyang chart, Zheng Tai hurriedly looked at him and said, "Really? ”

Frank patted his chest and said, "You can send someone to follow me back to get it later!" ”

Zheng Tai pondered for a while, starting from Zheng Zhilong, the Zheng family had the intention of recovering Taiwan, but they had always been afraid of the strength of the Netherlands and did not dare to act rashly.

Zheng Chenggong had expressed his intention to attack Taiwan one day, both openly and secretly.

Sooner or later, they are going to attack the Netherlands, and it's not bad to be able to pull an ally!

Thinking of this, Zheng Tai looked at Frank and said, "What kind of republic of yours has how much strength and how many warships?" ”

Hearing Zheng Tai's intention to form an alliance, Frank said happily: "Please rest assured, our Republic of England has 10,000 soldiers and horses, more than 100 warships, including more than 20 large warships like the one you docked in the port, and we are fully capable of being your allies!" ”

Hundreds of warships, more than 20 battleships the size of locks!

The strength can barely be seen, and it is qualified to form an alliance with the Zheng family!

Zheng Tai nodded and said, "When you return, we will send some people to follow you back and discuss the alliance with your protector!" ”

Hearing that my mission has finally been accomplished, the Lord Protector will surely reward me greatly when he hears this good news.

Frank nodded with a bright smile and said, "Okay, okay, we will send someone to inform you then, that is, we will leave for China this month." Please get ready early! ”

Zheng Tai lifted the tea and did not drink it.

The guard next to him shouted loudly: "Send off!" ”

Frank left, and Jung Tae sent someone to find Hong Sun. "The Republic of England intends to form an alliance with us against the Netherlands, and I am sure the Great General will approve of it. I am going to send you back with the maritime merchant to meet their man who is called the Lord Protector to discuss the matter of forming an alliance, and I will give you a document tomorrow for you to take with you on the road to see in detail. ”

Hong Shan bowed his hand and drank: "Yes, the last general will be honored!" ”

Zheng Tai nodded and said, "In addition to discussing the alliance, you have to investigate the situation of this country in detail when you go over there to see what their strength is?" What is the country like? Anyway, everything has to be recorded one by one, do you hear that? ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Tai waved his hand to signal that Hong Shan could go down, and Hong Shan hurriedly drank: "The last general will retire!" ”

Zheng Tai sat in the cabin and said to himself: "The land of the extreme west, really like the general Ruoyan, if we don't understand and don't make progress, will one day these white people become the bitter masters of the yellow race?" ”

……

The next day, Frank sent someone to hand over the charts that had been made overnight to Zheng Tai, and at the same time piggyback that he would leave for China in seven days, hoping that the people who would be sent here would be ready.

Flipping through the thick stack of Haiwen materials, Zheng Tai followed the map and compared his understanding of Nanyang over the years.

After checking, Zheng Tai knew that Frank had not deceived himself, this was the real chart.

Turning to the nautical chart marking East Timor, Zheng Tai suddenly drank: "Come on, send an order for the household officials to hurry up the preparation of supplies." We've delayed so much that we'll have to go in three days! ”

"Yes!"

Three days later, Hongshan and his men were left in Batavia to prepare to board Frank's fleet in the far west of Europe.

Zheng Tai led the fleet, with the help of astrology, compass, etc., to find the right direction and kill Timor-Leste! (To be continued.) )
