Hearing Ren Siqi's words, the Dutchman's hope of returning home was dashed, and they roared hysterically and cursed bitterly.

"Bastard, what are you yelling about?" Although they did not understand the Dutchman's swearing, the soldiers guarding the prison knew that it was not a good word, so they went up and stabbed the window with the wooden handle of their spears, and the prison screamed again and again.

"Gentlemen, if you want to improve your salary, you have to prove that you are useful, and I will not waste food in vain. If you want to get out of captivity and return home sooner, ask your compatriot Oliel and see what you should do! When the noise in the prison was quieter, Ren Siqi continued.

The prison was quiet. Ren Siqi left Oliel here and turned to leave.

"Oliel, what does that Akito mean? Does he want us to surrender like you? There was silence for a while, and the voice of a Dutchman rang out in the cell.

Seeing that someone finally communicated with him normally, Olier was very excited and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Alvin, in fact, I didn't surrender to the Akito. Instead, I signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Akito, and I would serve him for five years in exchange for his release of me. ”

"Five years of service? Isn't that too long? Alvin's voice was hesitant.

"Alvin, do you want to surrender to Oriel like a coward?" In the cell, the voice that had been scolding Oliel sounded again.

"Augustine, didn't you hear Olier say that he reached a five-year agreement with the Ming people, not a surrender." Alvin Dao.

"That is surrender, how can we, noble Dutchmen, give in to these filthy yellow-skinned monkeys?" Augustine roared angrily.

The prison was silent again, these Dutchmen came out of Europe, traveled thousands of miles, whether Bengali or Javanese, they were no match for the mighty Dutch fleet, and the long victory made these Dutchmen look down on the Oriental race, and they all had the noble views of white people in their hearts.

"I'm not Dutch, I'm German, I'm just employed by you, and there's no need to be loyal to the Dutch!" Another voice rang out in the cell.

"Duncan, you have a service agreement with us, and you are betraying the Dutch!" Augustine said predictively.

"Augustine, I have a pact with you, but since I was captured, this pact has lapsed, and I don't want to be locked up in this shady place for the rest of my life. Anyway, it's all about making money, and working for you in the Netherlands is no different from working for the Ming people! Duncan, a German, said as he banged on the cell door.

"Release him quickly, he's willing to work for the inspector." Oliel was pleasantly surprised to see that someone had finally heeded his persuasion, not a Dutchman but a German, because he knew that as soon as he started, more and more people would follow the same path as him, and he would no longer be so alone.

Duncan was a German, of course, Germany in the 17th century was not a unified country, it mostly belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, the whole territory was divided into hundreds of princely realms, the empire was not a centralized state, and the princes were at war with each other all year round. Duncan was a civilian by civilian origin, and although he served in the military for more than a decade, he was unable to rise through the ranks until he was wounded in a battle.

However, Duncan returned to his hometown to find that his village had been slaughtered by the rebels, and his wife, children and relatives had also died at the hands of the rebels. In desperation, Duncan boarded a sailboat bound for the East in the Netherlands and chose to go into self-imposed exile away from his sad homeland.

As the Dutch ship crossed more than half the world and came to the far east, struggling in the angry seas and fighting the aliens, Duncan slowly moved away from his sorrow and became the indifferent soldier again. The fighting power of the alien races in the east is very poor, and often hundreds or thousands of aliens who can fight with dozens of whites can flee in the wilderness. The seafaring skills of the East were also very poor, and the backward sailing ships were not at all able to fight back in the face of the strong ships and guns of the West. Duncan plundered the eastern seas with the Dutch ships, and lived a very comfortable life, and also amassed a lot of wealth. originally wanted to return to Europe to live the life of a rich man with the money earned by his life, but not long after, Duncan's "Princess" was defeated by the Ming people in the East, and he also became a prisoner of the Ming people.

On weekdays, I was accustomed to seeing the cruelty of white people to the natives of the East, and it was common to kill all the crew members after robbery. Duncan thought that he must not be spared, who knew that the Ming people did not kill them, but only locked them up. Duncan himself is not Dutch, and he does not have much sense of belonging to the "Princess", when he heard that he could earn his life by serving Akito, he immediately stood up, and whoever he worked for was a life, in Duncan's eyes, playing for Akito was no different from playing for the Dutch.

The young Ming official inspector was very kind, and was very happy when he heard Duncan's words of willingness to serve, and was even happier when he heard that Duncan was a professional soldier, and signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Duncan on the spot, and promised that after five years, he would not only let Duncan go, but also pay him a large sum of silver, which was enough to make him a rich man. However, the inspector also made a request to Duncan, that is, let him learn the Ming language as soon as possible, so that he could integrate into the Ming army.

The person in charge of teaching Duncan's Daming language was an Oriental named Anthony, who spoke Dutch very well, and Duncan followed Anthony's ass every day, trying to learn Daming.

On this island called Daishan, there are hundreds of Ming soldiers stationed and eight or nine large ships. Duncan found that in addition to himself, there were several Dutchmen who were serving the Ming people, in addition to Oliel, who persuaded him to surrender, there were also Monroe and Shabila, all of whom had fully integrated into this Ming people's collective and lived a very comfortable life.

Akito's food is very strange, they will make all kinds of things into strange dishes, but it is very delicious, far from the almost unchanged layer of bread and cream in Europe, Duncan eats very refreshingly, I heard that people are about to celebrate the New Year, they will eat a food called dumplings, according to Anthony, dumplings are the best food in the world, Duncan is very much looking forward to this.

In short, life in Daishan is quite comfortable, no one beats and scolds, no one abuses, just lying on the beach by the sea in his spare time, listening to the continuous sound of the waves, Duncan will think of his hometown in Europe, and think of his relatives who are long gone.
