Chapter 488 Ultimatum

"God, this can't be!" After the interpreter finished speaking, Putmans blurted out. Chen Xie also waited patiently for the translation, and said lightly: "Nothing is impossible." It's polite to let yourselves go, and if you don't leave, let the cannon do the talking. ”

"No, it's not an axiom, it's all the act of banditry!" Putmans cried out, as if they had come from Europe to Asia for charity.

Chen Xie laughed when he heard this, is it axiomatic? Hehe! "Sue him, the axiom is only within the range of the cannon!" finally had the opportunity to say such a super pretending to be X, Chen Xie was sour for a while!

The short meeting ended like this, and Putmans was stunned, standing in place and watching Chen Xie leave very impolitely, and seeing Lin Hengwan, who was still kneeling on the ground and not getting up, was trembling all over. Lin Hengwan knew very well that Chen Xie was very dissatisfied with him, so he ignored him at all. Give him a chance to meet, just to make him understand this attitude.

Putmans could only leave, not leave, and two soldiers came over and made a please. Lin Hengwan's side was ignored. Putmans, who walked out of the gate, heard a sentence: "Robbers are not welcome in the Ming Dynasty, please leave before dark, otherwise we will sink your ship." ”

It was the first time Putmans had grown so old and heard such tough diplomatic rhetoric. The Chinese are ready for a qiē war, otherwise they would not be so tough. It is typhoon-prone season, and the Chinese's military action may wait for a while, but not for long. Putmans didn't know how he had left. After being thrown into a carriage, he was directly pulled back to Lin Hengwan's house, and then asked him to pack up his things and leave.

Lin Hengwan didn't kneel for too long, that is, an hour, and was taken into the study. Looking at Lin Hengwan, who was walking a little wrong, Chen Xie's anger in his heart was a little less. He said lightly: "Do you know why I want to do this to you? ”

Lin Hengwan is also an old man, and immediately knelt down and said, "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned." ”

Chen Xie was also a little amused when he heard him say this. This old guy is still pretending to be confused at this time. But this pretending to be confused. It's still pretty good. At least Chen Xie didn't mean to continue to embarrass him. Actually. Things are well explained. Before that, Daming's sea power was a Zheng Zhilong, and it was okay to engage in offshore water, but it would be blind if it was far away. Chen Xie's thoughts about a businessman left and right. Totally understandable. Unacceptable. Chen Xie put the fleet in the big picture. And there is also a large-scale immigration, at this time Lin Hengwan still has the idea of being left and right, so he must express it.

"Get up. That's a lot of age. Remember, in the future, this sea will be decided by the Ming people, not only here is the Ming Dynasty, but also the farther South Seas, it will also be the Ming Dynasty. You go back and think about what you should do in the future. Chen Xie's attitude towards these people can be said to be simple and rude, but the effect is very good. Lin Hengwan staggered away, he also knew that he had picked up a life, this one was not Zheng Zhilong's kind of goods, and he still had the name of a scholar from Dongge University.

As a Ming person, of course, I hope that my country will be strong at sea and suffer less from it. When he walked out of Chen's house, the wind and rain stopped unexpectedly, and Lin Hengwan, who was standing at the gate and relieved, suddenly looked back, and subconsciously felt a deep sigh. It's not easy to get out, his family has a lot of money, and it's normal to cause covetousness. Chen Xie just let him out, it was not as simple as generosity. It's normal to just find an excuse to raid your family and destroy your family and seize your property. Just this job, a county order can do it, not to mention this cabinet lord with a heavy army.

Lin Hengwan is a maritime businessman, and it is too normal to do things such as collusion with pirates by maritime merchants these days. The sale of stolen goods is the most basic business. Chen Xie wants to take a fancy to his family property, and even the excuses are ready-made. Therefore, Lin Hengwan's bow is sincere.

"Just let him go, it's too cheap!" The person who said this was Lin Hengwan's old acquaintance Zheng Zhilong, and this guy didn't have the slightest guilt at all. At this time, it is still important to shoot Chen Gebu's ass. As long as Chen Xie nodded, he had a bunch of black materials to offer. Chen Xie felt ridiculous when he heard it, what qualifications does Zheng Zhilong have to say this and that to others.

Chen Xie didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Fang Sigu and said, "When will the British arrive?" These words made Zheng Zhilong tremble, looking at this meaning, Chen Gebu had already been laying out. The picture is not small!

"There should be half a month to go, news from Europe, the current British are being ostracized by the Dutch everywhere, and it is said that a new bill is being brewed in the British Parliament." Fang Sigu's answer Chen Xie was very satisfied, this person was placed in the big position, and Chen Xie was promoted. As a result, he did an excellent job, and at the same time he was also very concerned about the news from the European side, and every month he had a fixed piece of information sent from the big man to Nanjing. It is precisely because of this that Chen Xie's attention was aroused, and it was decided to let him contact the British and everyone sat down to talk. At this time, the British were not yet the leaders of Europe, but they already had the strength to challenge the Netherlands. Chen Xie wants to join forces with the British, which is something they can't ask for. The problem is that this cooperation will only be short-lived, and in the future, the two countries will definitely fight for turf. There has always been only one boss in this world. This principle has not changed since modern industrialization. Otherwise, the US imperialists are fed up and supported to check and balance China's development? Hollowing out your mind, all kinds of difficulties to make stumbling blocks? The reason is very simple, there are only three possibilities for countries and regions in the world that really have the ability to challenge the hegemony of US imperialism, one is the European Union united by Europe, one is Russia, and the other is the rabbit country.

The country of rabbits, which dress up as harmless livestock, is the country that poses the greatest threat to US imperialism. The reason is that the potential is the greatest, and why is the potential the greatest? Quite simply, population, resources, speed of development. In just a few decades, an agrarian country has become an industrial country, and if you are the president of the US imperialism, you will have to clean up this rabbit country. Russia is in second place, and this country has a criminal record. Therefore, the US imperialists pulled Europe together to engage Russia, eager to put the missile defense system on Putin's nose. There is also Europe, the United States imperialists hold Britain with one hand and detonate the debt crisis with the other, and European integration will basically not be achieved within 50 years.

Britain is a very nasty country, when it is the world hegemon, it is a-stirring stick, and when it is not the world hegemon, it is still a-stirring stick, and it is specially to plague Europe.

The UK is still a bitter second, and cooperation is beneficial to both sides. What will happen in the future, we will talk about it in the future. Between countries, there is no friendship at all, and etiquette has always been about etiquette. What kind of traditional friendship, that's all fooling. It's really stupid, it's still a very stupid kind. The winner of the Anglo-Dutch War was ultimately Britain, but the process of this victory was difficult, and all kinds of bitter things happened. It was the Restoration and the Black Death, and it was badly beaten during the Second War.

At this time, the British East India Company was still struggling in India, picking up leftovers from the fingers of the Dutch. It's unrealistic to expect them to make much of a difference, but then again, it's better than none to have a helper. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is also very unrealistic to expect Chen Xie to have discipline to the outside world.

After the wind and rain stopped, Chen Xie's trip to the army was about to end, and the hot shade of more than 1,000 people would not let Chen Xie personally conquer. One purpose is to come to see the master, and the other purpose is to strengthen his southward strategy. Let everyone know that Chen Xie attaches great importance to this.

After ten days in Dayuan, Chen Xie embarked on a journey back to Nanjing. If you don't go back, you can't do it, there are very important things to deal with over there. Chen Xie gave full authority to Fang Sigu and others in charge of the affairs of Reshalan, and asked them to solve the problem of the Dutch by force with the strongest attitude.

The one-month deadline passed quickly, and the Dutchmen of Putmans and Gesharan had no intention of leaving. Instead, they used this time to strengthen their armaments. This result was inevitable, and it was impossible for the Dutch to abandon the stronghold of the Grand Man. Once you lose here, it is likely that you will lose the entire Japan and Daming market. This is an unacceptable result.

For Putmans, the luck was terrible. In its reply, the East India Company stated that his concerns were unfounded. It was impossible for the Ming to challenge the Dutch at sea, and considering what he said, two armed merchant ships were transferred from Batavia as a supplement to his strength.

At this time, Putmans was completely desperate, and after writing back again about what had happened to him, he immediately began to prepare for stubborn resistance. Fortifications were fortified and fortifications were built. Preparing ammunition and food, holding on for a long time, and letting the Ming people retreat in the face of difficulties is the only choice. At this time, there is really no way for him to strive for a better result. To put it mildly, where Zheng Chenggong can be defeated, it can be seen how weak the strength is.

Time flies, and the last day has finally arrived, and it is Lin Hengwan who came, and this time he brought an ultimatum. The supreme commander of the Ming Navy, General Fang Sigu, ordered all the Dutch in the army to lay down their arms within 24 hours, walk out of the fortress and surrender, otherwise they will be completely destroyed.

Putmans stood high on the fortress, looking at the sails on the sea, the dense ships, he had sent all the ships away, and remained here to be sunk?

"Please go back and tell General Sù Fangsi Valley, as a soldier, I will do my duty and fight until the last moment." This was the answer of Ptamans, and at this time in Reshalam, there were only more than eight hundred people who could go into battle. (To be continued......)
