Looking at Zheng Sen, who was leaving angrily, Putsman did not say anything to save him, but just sneered. After a while, he said to himself, "Do you think that with a little money, you stupid pirates, you can make our great Dutch navy die for you?" However, although you can't do anything to Qingzhou, you can't relax the surveillance over there, and it's just that you can't get your hands on that kind of advanced musket, but I don't believe that you can keep everything so secret. ”

Putsmann stood up and paced up and down the office before shouting, "Someone, call me Lieutenant Mosto and Captain Nairn." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" The voices of the guards soon sounded outside the door.

Shortly after, Lieutenant Mostoto and Captain Nairn arrived at the door of Putsmann's office.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

Putsman, who was sitting behind his desk, looked at the two young officers in front of him and said majestically: "Lieutenant Mosto, Captain Nain, I have called you today to give you two important tasks, can I trust you?" ”

Upon hearing the Governor's question, the two officers immediately said in unison: "For the sake of His Great Majesty, we are ready to give our lives at all times!" ”

"Okay, let's start with the first thing!" Putsmann nodded, and said to the two officers, "You also know that in a few days the general of Qingzhou will send a mission to our great Netherlands, and out of courtesy, we will also send an officer as a guide to accompany them, and this officer I intend to choose among you." ”

Speaking of this, Puttersmann noticed that the corners of the eyes of the two young officers twitched slightly. Pretending not to see it, Putsman continued: "Of course, I know that this is a difficult choice for you who want to make a difference, but for the sake of our country, someone must do it, and now I formally ask you, which of you is willing to take on this difficult task?" ”

Mosto and Nainlai glanced at each other, but no one said a word, obviously not very willing to go back, after all, it is thousands of miles away, and the sea is high and turbulent, and any dangerous situation can happen, and the navigation technology at this time has not yet reached the advanced level of later generations, and every time such a voyage is carried out, it is like walking in a ghost gate, so both of them began to hesitate, obviously unwilling to take such a big risk for the mission of the Ming Kingdom.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Putsman also understood their worries in his heart, and in order to improve their positive surname, Putsman encouraged: "In order to encourage this officer who is willing to take risks, I plan to raise this officer's rank by one level, there are not many opportunities like this." ”

Putsmann's voice was full of temptation, like the serpent of Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden.

In the end, Nain gritted his teeth, stood up straight and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, since there is no one to go, let me go!" ”

"Good!" Putsman was overjoyed, he stood up and patted Nairn on the shoulder and said, "Captain Nairn, oh no, I should call you Major Nairn now, and I will hand you the official document of your promotion when I go back, and your family will be very happy to see that you have been promoted to major when you go back." ”

Nairn smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, as long as I can return to the Netherlands safely, I am satisfied,"

"You will be able to return to the motherland safely!" Putsman patted Nairn on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Major Nairn, since your mission is clear, you can go down and prepare first." ”

"Yes!" Nairn saluted Putsman and walked out of the office

"Come, Lieutenant Mosto, sit down." Putsman pointed to the chair next to him and did it himself.

After Lieutenant Mosto sat down respectfully, Putsman also sat down in his chair, and after sitting down, Putsman said with a smile: "Lieutenant Mosto, how much do you know about the Ming Kingdom on the other side, or Qingzhou?" ”

Lieutenant Mostow thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know much about the ancient country of the East, but one thing is for sure, and that is that the country is now undergoing a drastic transformation. To the north-east of him, the Tatars are constantly harassing the northern part of the country, and within him there are many peasants who have nothing to eat, and now it seems that the situation in the country is very bad! ”

Putsman nodded: "Mosto, it's good that you can have such an understanding. I've been in the East for many years, and I've done some research on this country, and I'm surprised to find that this country is going through a strange circle, that is, the country is going through a cycle almost every 100 or 2 or 300 years, which they call a change of dynasty, and at this time it is also the most vulnerable. This country is currently at the threshold of this change of dynasty, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Oh," said Mosto, who suddenly came to his senses, "I see, Your Excellency the Governor, you mean that we in the Netherlands will also gain our own benefits in this feast, and the Orientals have a figurative metaphor for this kind of thing, called robbery while the fire is fired, is that right?" ”

"Hahaha, you're right, that's what you mean." For the face coat, the lieutenant's surname was Putsmann, very satisfied.

"Now let's have a good relationship with the general of Qingzhou and stabilize him. This time, when I send Nairn back to China, I will send a letter to His Majesty the King, asking His Majesty to send a large army to Taiwan again, and when the time comes, we will surely be able to obtain a piece of land in the Far East that is far larger than the mainland! ”

"Then why did you reply that they sent a mission to our country to earn our gold? Isn't that in our interest? Mosto asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha dear Lieutenant Mosto, it seems that you still need to learn more about strategy." Putsman smiled and shook his head, "The reason why I agreed with that general from Qingzhou to send a mission to Obaro was to reassure him and show that we have no intention of making him an enemy at this time. Now let him earn some gold coins, as long as our army comes, the more gold coins they earn, the greater our harvest will be in the future, are you still worried that there will be no gold and silver treasures in the rich East for us to rob? ”

Putsmann said, his eyes showed a greedy light, he had long coveted the rich colonists of the East and the West, and now that they finally had this opportunity, how could they miss it!
