"The Netherlands, also known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is located in the northwest of Obaro, this country is not big, less than half of our Shandong, more than a hundred years ago by the Spaniards, until this year they officially read the power."

In a conference room in the Dingguo General's Mansion, Pang Gang was illiteracy for a group of subordinates, and the participants included Lin Feng, Kong Lin, and other people who were about to go to Oubaro and Tu Hai and Mo Hui, two sailor generals, due to the hot weather, everyone in the conference room was wearing thin short shirts, and the obese Lin Feng even opened his shirt, but large drops of sweat still flowed from his forehead and body, but at this moment, Lin Feng, like everyone else, was like a student in the school, listening attentively to Pang Gang's explanation, After all, this is related to whether they can open up the situation in Obaro in the future, so he can't afford to be inattentive.

"Now that the Netherlands have replaced Spain as the maritime overlord of O'Barro, they have reached into the East, and the greed of these foreigners is endless, so you must be vigilant, but don't follow the path of those foreigners."

Kong Lin asked puzzledly: "My lord, didn't these red-haired foreigners agree to our mission to send them to their country?" Could it be that they still harbor some evil intentions? ”

On this kind of formal occasion, Kong Lin didn't dare to call Pang Gang's name even if he dared to do so, he had always called Pang Gang an honorific title.

Pang Gang shook his head with a smile, and glanced around everyone with sharp eyes: "You must remember that between countries, there will always be only interests, and any moral righteousness is false." Do you really think that Puttersman is really going to ally with us? Wrong, now he just wants to stabilize us, I am sure that once his strength is strong enough to match us, he will definitely swallow us without hesitation, this is the surname of these foreigners! ”

Everyone listened to each other, and the adults spoke too realistically.

"Don't believe you." Seeing everyone's skeptical expressions, Pang Gang felt that he had to talk about the history of the expansion of the Luoba people in Nanyang, so that these subordinates who were still using Chinese morality and etiquette to look at the Western colonizers would be sober and sober.

"The first to put their hands into our east was the Spaniards, and then the Spaniards gradually became a little overwhelmed, and then the Portuguese and the Dutch put their hands in, and they all had delusional hopes of gaining a foothold in the Ming Dynasty or the South Seas. The first to gain a foothold was the Portuguese, who, through their efforts, finally rented a small piece of land in Lingnan, and now they are still living there. Then there were the Dutch, who built two cities in Taiwan under the name of the Dutch East India Company, called the cities of Prominsha and the city of Geranza, but they operated Taiwan as their own territory.

In recent years, the Spaniards have concentrated on Luzon, while the Portuguese have begun to decline and can hardly afford to trade in the ocean alone. The Dutch, who ran into a wall in Taiwan, used Batavia as a stronghold, using spices as bait to attract Chinese to trade in Batavia. At the same time, Chinese merchants, mainly Fujianese, maintained long-term trade with Spain through Manila."

After talking so much, the people below were also stunned, and after a long time, Lin Feng muttered: "My good man, there are so many Taos here!" ”

"What do you think?" Pang Gang said angrily: "Throughout the history of O'Barro's development, it is actually a history of piracy, don't think about how noble those foreigners are, what they pursue is the principle of hitting with a big fist with a naked fist." ”

After Pang Gang eradicated everyone's illiteracy today, he completely subverted the impression of foreigners in the hearts of Lin Feng, Kong Lin and others.

Pang Gang took a sip of tea and explained to Kong Lin: "Shilin, you have to remember that after you arrive at Obaro, you and the merchants who go with the ship must sell the goods you bring at a good price, the higher the better. ”

"Hahaha," Kong Lin and the others laughed.

Putting down the teacup, Pang Gang turned his head to Lin Feng and Mo Hui, who was in charge of the security of the mission and was also the commander of the mission's fleet, and said, "Governor Lin, Deputy Commander Mo, after you arrive at Obarro, you have to deal with the king of the Netherlands and their nobles well, and at the same time make a good note of the situation over there. For example, the composition of their army, the civilian situation, and so on, must be recorded, compiled into a book, and presented to their own officials when they return. ”

"Yes!" Lin Feng and Mo Hui agreed loudly in unison.

After explaining the envoy of the mission, Pang Gang asked Tu Hai: "Commander Tu, you are the commander of our Shandong Naval Division, our naval division seems to be quite large, there are more than 100 and nearly 200 warships, but if you want to distribute it in North Korea, Liaodong, and even Shandong to Zhejiang, there are not many, at present, it is not appropriate for us to add more warships, and if we add ourselves, we will have to be supported to death, now your main task is to improve the combat power of our naval division, and train skilled sailors and officers as soon as possible." We also have to guard against the Fujian side, Zheng Zhilong is not a master who will admit defeat casually, to prevent him from sending people to make trouble, especially after Li Xiaojun, the commander of the North Korean sailor, goes back, we have to rely on ourselves to train sailors, the burden on your shoulders is not light! ”

Tu Hai raised his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, now there are people on Shenmi Island who have settled down one after another, and our sailor school on Shenmi Island has also started, as long as we survive another year, our shortage of people will be greatly alleviated, and we can buy a new ship at that time." ”

The need for warships in the sailors is endless, and there is no sailor commander who does not like to equip new warships, and now for Tu Hai, who is short of manpower, it is simply a painful torment to have a new warship but no skilled sailors to control it. For a while, Tu Hai, who lacked manpower, wanted to go to North Korea to dig the foot of the North Korean sailor's wall directly, if it wasn't for Pang Gang's sentence "If it's not my people, their hearts will be different", maybe he really did it.

Pang Gang suddenly remembered something and asked Tu Haidao: "By the way, is there any movement on the North Korean side now?" ”

Tu Hai shook his head, "It's nothing, now those Koreans are busy recruiting troops to replenish the troops lost during the last Tartar invasion, and their current strength is about 10,000 people, but the last general heard that North Korea is arguing about what kind of army to build recently, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are arguing fiercely." ”

"Oh, that's right!" Pang Gang couldn't help but put his left hand on his chin and pondered.

After the meeting, Pang Gang walked back to the inner courtyard, sat on the lazy chair under the cool grape trellis, and a cool breath came to his face, and then the whole person didn't want to move anymore.

Summoned the maid to pour himself a pot of tea, Pang Gang drank a few sips and a sense of sleepiness came to his head, and Pang Gang lay down on the lazy chair and fell asleep.

Pang Gang slept groggily all afternoon, and didn't wake up slowly until the evening, Pang just woke up and faintly heard a delicate voice next to him whispering: "Sister Yuanyuan, when will the husband wake up, people want to ask him something." ”

Soon, Chen Yuanyuan's somewhat timid voice sounded, "Mrs. Xuezhu, don't call it that, the slave is just the master's slave maid, but you can't call it the slave sister." ”

"Sister Yuanyuan, since my husband married several of our sisters into the door at the same time, he just let our sisters be treated equally, regardless of size, why did you come to this set again, it's really boring." Li Xuezhu's coquettish voice sounded, and Pang Gang could imagine Li Xuezhu's cute appearance with cherry lips at this moment, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

"Alright then!" Chen Yuanyuan reluctantly agreed, but obviously there was still some unaccustomed to it in his heart.

Hearing this, Pang Gang sighed slightly in his heart, Chen Yuanyuan was born in the dust, which made her feel inferior, although for Pang Gang, a person from later generations, he didn't pay attention to his identity, and when Pang Gang married them, he also specially explained that all women will be treated equally.

But for Chen Yuanyuan, this is obviously not the case, she still positions herself in the position of a concubine, and lists herself and Qiao'er and Ling'er as the same kind of people. After all, although Kong Ruolan is the daughter of a businessman, she is the first person to marry Pang Gang, and she is Pang Gang's wife, not to mention Wei Manyao and Li Xuezhu, they are the daughter of an official eunuch family, and now Wei is the governor of Shandong in the same year, and she was named the second-grade lady by the emperor, how respectful her identity is. As for Li Xuezhu, you are a North Korean princess, not to mention, how can a woman in a Qinglou be compared with them, so even if Li Xuezhu is younger than Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan still calls her sister.

Pang Gang opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the two delicate and bright faces were sitting next to him chatting, Pang Gang was childlike for a while, stretched out his hands and patted them on the buttocks of the two, making a crisp sound of "pop", which scared the two girls to scream at the same time.

After seeing that it was Pang Gang, the second girl was so angry that she stretched out her pink fist and slapped Pang Gang's body, Pang Gang sat up and laughed, stretched out his arms and hugged the second girl into his arms.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was lying in Pang Gang's arms, said bitterly: "Master, really, he is so scared of the concubine, you see, it's all about Sister Xuezhu is frightened." ”

"That's it! The husband is the worst, honest and scary. Li Xuezhu, who was so angry that her teeth were itching, also reached out and twisted her husband's waist.

"Haha, okay, it's my husband." Pang Gang apologized with a smile and said: "Who let your master make noise around him, don't you know that sparing people's dreams is the most hateful?" ”

"Hmph, people are here this time to find a husband, how can you say that people disturb people's dreams." Li Xuezhu snorted with her nose cocked.
