The sky was low, dark, and it seemed like it was going to rain! The waves crashed against the rocks with a deafening roar. The sea breeze is also getting stronger, and the saltiness inside is getting heavier.

A man stood on the reef, letting the sea breeze blow against him, and his blue robe was hunted by the sea breeze. From time to time, the splashing waters of the waves fell on this man's body, but he didn't seem to realize it. Looking into the distance, low and far-reaching, the whole person exuded a fierce aura. His right hand slowly grasped the sword at his waist, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

"One official, one official!" The voice sounded from a distance, and a man ran briskly, straight to the man standing on the reef.

This person is none other than Zheng Yiguan, who came to Taiwan, and glanced back at Cheng Yu who was running towards him, and could only shake his head with a wry smile. Slowly let go of the hand holding the knife, and quietly waited for Cheng Yu to run over.

"Yiguan, go back quickly! There are some people from the big boss, and it seems that they are looking for you! Cheng Yu didn't feel that he had disturbed Zheng Yiguan at all, and said with a bit of urgency on his face.

Slightly frowned, looking for your own? Who knew they were here? What are you talking about? Glancing at the panting Cheng Yu, Zheng Yiguan asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who it is?" What do they ask me for? ”

"I don't know what to do, but there are Dutch people among them, and it seems that there is something big to discuss." Cheng Yu shook his head, he really didn't know this, and his face didn't have the smugness he had just now.

Slowly nodded, it was actually Dutch! Zheng Yiguan had a slight sneer on his face, these people were all wolf cubs who couldn't be fed. Deal with them. You have to be careful! However, Zheng Yiguan also understands in his heart that he does not have the capital to turn his face with the Dutch for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yiguan sorted out his mood and turned to look at Cheng Yu. "Let's go!" Let's go and see, where are they? ”

"At the boss's place, all the brothers are waiting for you!" Cheng Yu came to invite Zheng Yiguan, and he wouldn't ask about other things. Cheng Yu is a rough man. The reason why he was able to get Zheng Yiguan's personal support was because he knew how to advance and retreat.

What you should ask, what you shouldn't ask, what you can do and what you can't do, Cheng Yu knows better than some smart people.

When Zheng Yiguan walked to the door of the living room, he heard loud laughter coming from inside, and his face suddenly changed. This person's voice made him feel very familiar, but although it was familiar, it made Zheng Yiguan feel very uncomfortable. It's as if this person's voice is inherently annoying. Let yourself be bored from the bones.

But it's all here. Naturally, he won't fail to go in! Just after walking in. Zheng Yiguan didn't squint, didn't look at the person on the side, and walked directly to Yan Siqi's head. Saluted and said, "Big brother, you look for me!" ”

"An official! You're here! It's all your acquaintances. Come and see you! Yan Siqi had a smile on his face, although there was no change, but his tone was still full of satisfaction. Yan Siqi has always attached great importance to Zheng Yiguan, not only with extraordinary force, but also with good strategies, and most importantly, he has always respected himself.

"Yes, big brother!" After giving Yan Siqi enough respect, Zheng Yiguan turned around and glanced at the two people seated, he really knew each other.

At the top was a Dutchman with leather boots, tight-legged trousers, and a wide belt. The most eye-catching thing is the two short guns on his waist, placed in a wallet, with a beard on his face, looking Zheng Yiguan up and down. This person is Zheng Yiguan's old boss when he was in the Netherlands, Brian, the deputy commander of the Penghu fleet of the Dutch East India Company!

Beside Brann, sitting was a Chinese, in his forties. The figure is very thin, but the eyes are very bright. The whole person sat there, revealing a shrewdness! This person Zheng Yiguan is no stranger, because this is his father-in-law Li Dan's worship brother Xu Xinsu!

This Xu Xinsu is not simple, it is more suitable to say that he and Li Dan are brothers than business partners. This person is very energetic in the mainland, and both officials and businessmen have to give face. Li Dan is the biggest person in smuggling from the mainland to Japan, and all his sources of goods were raised with Xu Xinsu's help.

Although Fang Shihong is also engaged in smuggling trade, almost all of it is through this Xu Xinsu, and this person has a lot of energy.

After the Dutch invaded Penghu in the second year of the Apocalypse, Xu Xinsu became a hostage who forced Li Dan to lead the Dutch to Taiwan because of his relationship with Li Dan and was detained. This experience became an opportunity for Xu Xinsu to connect with the Dutch, and Xu Xinsu used his status as a trader with Taiwan to gradually gain the trust of the Dutch and became a representative of the Dutch trade.

The Dutch urgently needed to trade with the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain raw silk and other items urgently needed by the Japanese route and the head office, and Xu Xinsu repeatedly received the treatment of the Dutch in advance with purchase funds, amounting to tens of thousands of taels. These funds not only show the trust of the Dutch in Xu Xinsu, but also show the scale of Xu Xinsu's business and his status in the Taiwan Strait trade at that time.

Xu Xinsu did not disappoint the Dutch, he actively used his mainland business network, and once after getting the Dutch advance funds, he once shipped 250 quintals of raw silk to the Dutch.

Two hundred and fifty quintals of raw silk doesn't sound like a lot, but when converted, that's nearly fourteen tons! This is just a trade of goods, which shows the great energy of Xu Xinsu.

For these things, Zheng Yiguan is very clear in his heart, and he has always been respectful of Xu Xinsu. Although he and Li Dan are brothers, their personalities are different. Li Dan, who was born as a pirate, exudes a sense of pride and righteousness. This is also the reason why Zheng Yiguan is willing to worship under Li Dan's door and is willing to work for him. Of course, Li Dan can give him a good future, which is also inevitable.

But Xu Xinsu is a businessman, an authentic businessman! In his opinion, there is no business that cannot be done, as long as the price is right, he can do anything! In his eyes, there is nothing but profit. Zheng Yiguan didn't want to be cheated once, so he had always been very defensive about this Xu Xinsu.

"It turned out to be Commander Brian, I really didn't expect you to come here, it's so surprising!" With a smile on his face, Zheng Yiguan arched his hand at Brian and said with a grin.

"Nikolai, it's been a long time! I thought you would go back to Penghu, but I didn't expect you to come here. If you have time, you still have to go to Penghu for a walk, Commander Waite misses you very much! "Brian actually doesn't like Zheng Yiguan, but Waite has repeatedly explained that this Zheng Yiguan is a very special person, and he has to cheer up.

Smiling and turning his gaze to the side of Xu Xinsu, Zheng Yiguan arched his hand and said: "Commander Brian is polite, I really didn't expect that Uncle Xu accompanied Commander Brian, I don't know how Uncle Xu is today?" ”

"Good, good! An official has a heart. Xu Xinsu looked at Zheng Yiguan with a smile, the expression on his face seemed to be very pleased, and the tone of his voice was also very close.

After sitting down, Zheng Yiguan smiled and said to Yan Siqi: "Big brother, I don't know what happened to General Brian here?" Have you ever talked about it? ”

Yan Siqi saw that Zheng Yiguan was mainly concerned about himself, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Not yet, we want to wait for you to talk about it together." After all, you and General Brian are familiar with each other, and we need to discuss it! ”

There is no suspicion of Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi, this is telling Zheng Yiguan that these people must have bad intentions. You and both of them are familiar with each other, and you have to be careful.

Zheng Yiguan was naturally able to understand, nodded to Yan Siqi with a smile on his face, and said, "Big brother, don't worry, Yiguan understands!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Brian and said, "Commander Brian, I don't know what happened to you this time?" We're all old acquaintances, there's no need to hide it, just say it if you have anything to say! ”

Xu Xinsu on the side was stunned for a moment, and his eyes narrowed, but Brian laughed, doing things like this was very much his appetite. Laughing and saying, "Nikolai, you are refreshing!" Then I'll say it bluntly, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is really unhappy and does not allow us to do business. A few days ago, we had a talk with the new governor of Fujian, but we didn't get along. ”

sneered in his heart, Zheng Yiguan was very disdainful, it's strange that you can talk about it! I don't look at who they are, and they will listen to you? However, he had a curious look on his face and said, "Then Commander Brian, what are you going to do?" ”

"That Fujian governor said that Penghu is the territory of their Ming Kingdom, let us quit! Otherwise, they will send troops to attack Penghu, and their attitude is very resolute! At the same time, the governor of the Ming Kingdom also said that Taiwan is not the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and we can retreat to Taiwan. Xu Xinsu is just a peacemaker, and he can talk to the governor of Fujian. When Brian had said this, he shut up, and seemed to be very depressed, and sat there, sulking.

Yan Siqi's face on the side suddenly became very ugly, he had just stood in Taiwan, how could he let the Dutch in? With the Dutchman's temperament, this place must be snatched away! I was unwilling to let it out, and the court was really ruthless.

This time, Yan Siqi was wrong, and the governor of Fujian did not have this idea of gobbling up tigers. Just want to drive the Dutch out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty! Sending troops to attack Penghu, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty really couldn't take it. That's when I came up with such a way, as long as the Dutch were brought to Taiwan, it would not be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

Xu Xinsu is not so much a representative of the Fujian magistrates, but rather a forced come! Of course, he also has an inextricable relationship with the magistrate, which is not enough for outsiders!
