The dungeon was damp and dark, and what Waite could do every day was to lie on the ground and count the ants, and in the past few months, he felt that he had become an expert in ants, and he knew the habits of ants very well, and even saved a little bit of food from the pitiful food every day to feed the ants, and the ants had become his best friend.

In addition, he has a friend, that is, a few rats who will go to the cell every day to wander around, these rats were very afraid of him at first, but after a long time, these rats are no longer afraid of him, and they will come here to wander around when they are having dinner, Waite initially chased and beat these mice, and later found that the only people he could talk to were these ants and mice, so he gradually coexisted peacefully with the mice, and also tried to get out of the limited food, Save a little bit to feed the mice.

Just when Waite was in the company of ants and rats every day, the cell door was opened that day, and the jailer took Waite out of the cell, Waite was very frightened, he didn't know what the pirates were going to do to him, all he could think of was that the pirates might kill him, and the thought of having his head cut off made Waite tremble.

But things didn't go the way he thought, and when he was taken out of the cell, the strong sunlight almost blinded him on the spot, and he quickly raised his hand to block the sunlight with his bound hands, and it took a while to gradually adjust to the light outside.

The long-lost sunshine and fresh air made him feel dizzy, almost unable to stand firmly, he was very weak and even a little unsteady after a long lack of nutrition and sunshine, and he could only be carried by two strong pirates, walked into a compound, and was sent to a big house.

In the middle of the big room, in the middle of the upper hand, at this time sat a young man who looked very tall and strong, this man should be said to be quite handsome according to the aesthetics of the Chinese, and the short beard on the chin made him look very spiritual.

When Waite was sent into the room, the young man who was looking down at some Wen Jiàn raised his head and glanced at Waite, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were very sharp, and it seemed to flicker with a cold light, so that Waite couldn't help but have a trembling feeling after seeing it.

When he saw Waite being sent to him, the young leader-like man nodded, and the pirates holding Waite on both sides immediately let go of their hands and saluted the young man, and now Waite already knew that this was a unique military salute for sea wolves, which looked simple and handsome, not cumbersome, and could well set off the pirate's ability and spirit.

After losing the grip, Wate's legs were weak and he almost knelt on the ground, but he was not used to kneeling, so he still supported his legs and insisted on standing up straight, but before he could stand up straight, he kicked a foot from behind, which happened to kick the crook of his leg, Waite couldn't hold it this time, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

The young man who sat upright laughed, bared his white teeth, and spoke.

There was an interpreter next to him, and he began to translate for Waite, telling Sù Waite, this is Yu Xiaotian, the big leader of the sea wolf.

Waite raised his head and looked at Yu Xiaotian again, his heart was full of powerlessness, he had been locked up in a cell without seeing the light of day for a long time, no one spoke, he had already consumed all his pride, and now as a prisoner, he no longer had any power to put on a score.

Waite smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that you are Yu Xiaotian!" Then you finally remembered me today! I don't know what happened when Your Excellency the Leader brought me here this time? If you want to kill me, then do it, I'm not afraid of death! ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Why should I kill you?" Now you don't pose any threat to me, you're just a loser, a prisoner of war! It doesn't matter to me whether I kill you or not! ”

After hearing the words of the interpreter, Waite's tense heart finally relaxed, so he didn't have to die now, although he was not very afraid of death, but if he could not die, he didn't really want to be killed.

After watching Waite breathe a long sigh of relief, Yu Xiaotian continued: "But keeping you is also a waste of food, I asked you to come over today to ask you to write a letter, I will send someone to send your letter to the chief, if your people are willing to spend some money to redeem you, I don't care, in addition, I have captured a lot of your crew, if you still need them, I can also ask your company to redeem them."

In addition, you tell the people of your company or the governor of the great officer, that they will be given ten days to negotiate with me in Tamsui City, and if they refuse to negotiate, then I will attack the great officer, and from now on, you Dutch will not want to stay here again! It's that simple! Come on, give him pen and paper! ”

Yu Xiaotian completely used the tone of command, and did not allow Waite to have the slightest room for negotiation, and immediately someone sent Waite a pen and paper, but considering that Waite didn't know how to use a brush, Yu Xiaotian asked him to prepare a quill pen and a small bottle of ink.

Someone brought in a small table, untied the rope from Waite's wrist, and pressed him to the edge of the table and sat down.

Waite didn't have a way, because he believed that this Yu Xiaotian could do it, but he was still not very reconciled, and asked Xiaotian: "Your Excellency, the city we built in Dayuan with the permission of the Ming court, and now the Ming Dynasty government and us are allies, won't they care about you?" ”

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian sneered, and then laughed out loud: "Mr. Waite, don't think about the Ming Dynasty government anymore, now they are too busy to take care of themselves, where are they interested in taking care of your affairs!"

Let's tell you the truth, at least now the sailors in Fujian don't exist anymore, even if they want to manage it, how can they manage it? In addition, I can also tell you that Yuegang is no longer in the city, and that Zhongzuo and Kinmen Island are already under my control, and that in the future, all merchant ships in Fujian will go to sea and merchant, and they must be approved by me, and if you still want to continue to trade, it is best to listen to my orders honestly in the future!

Otherwise, not only your officers, but if I am not happy, I will not even allow any Fujian merchant ships to go to your Batavia in the future! Believe it or not, but I'm sure the Governor of the Great Governor will! ”

After hearing this, Waite's face changed, and he probably understood what Yu Xiaotian meant, and asked in surprise: "So Your Excellency the Chief has already defeated your country's navy?" ”

The corners of Yu Xiaotian's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded with a sneer: "Navy? They also deserve to be called the Navy? It's just a rabble! It's fine if you want to call them navy, but now they're basically gone! In the future, I will have the final say in this strait! ”

When Waite heard this, he was completely speechless, so he could only lie down on the table honestly, dip his quill pen in ink, and began to write.

When Waite blew on the letter and checked it one last time, he nodded and said, "The letter is finished!" ”

Someone immediately took his letter and handed it to the interpreter for review, and after the interpreter read it, he read the contents of the letter to Yu Xiaotian.

In his letter, Werter gave a general account of his defeat, expressed his apologies, and at the same time gave them an approximate state of their present situation, and told the company that the Seawolf was now willing to let them pay for the ransom of him and the other sailors who had been captured.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian's negotiation request, he also explained in detail, and the others did not contain any superfluous things.

Yu Xiaotian waved his hand and asked Waite to take him down, but this time he didn't take him back to the original dungeon, and continued to count ants to play with the rats, and placed him in another place with slightly better conditions, and the food treatment was also slightly improved.

Ever since Waite had left Dayuan with his fleet, Dayuan Harbor had once again been blocked by the sea wolves, completely cutting off them from land contact, and no ship had been able to sail into Dayuan Harbor for several months.

Peter. During this period of time, it can be said that Nuiz lived like a year, he almost every day was looking forward to the return of their fleet to Dayuan Port, and saw that the blockade of Dayuan Port had been lifted, but every day the result was disappointment, he never saw any more ships sailing into Dayuan Port, but every day he would see one or two clippers of the sea wolf sailing outside Dayuan Port.

As long as the seawolf's patrol ship continues to appear on the sea, then it can only show that the seawolf has not failed, so what does the seawolf not fail to say?

It was not until the Spring Festival of the Chinese that a ship finally became the first ship to enter Dayuan Port in these months, and this ship was driven to Dayuan Port by Xu Xinsu's men, but they did not bring any goods and supplies to Dayuan Port, but gave Peter . Noyz brings big bad news.

This is the first time that Peter has received information from the outside world in a few months, in the past two months, Dayuan Port has almost become an isolated island, the ships in the port dare not go out, and there are no ships outside, and there are still some Chinese immigrants who have some contacts with them around Dayuan, and in the past two months, only a very small number of people have come to Dayuan to do some small business.

They had brought some sporadic news to the Dutch stationed here, but there was not much of it, and no one knew where the Dutch fleet was.

Some people say that the sea wolf completely defeated the official army of Fujian, and attacked the land of Fujian, and the official army of Fujian was defeated, but the specific situation, no one can say, until this Xu Xinsu's ship arrived at Dayuan Port, Peter can be regarded as a thorough understanding of what is happening outside.
