So Zhu Yifeng informed Yu Zhigao, and ordered Yu Zhigao to send Xu Xinsu to talk to the red-haired people and ask the red-haired people to help the Fujian officials and soldiers.

After Xu Xinsu heard about it, he didn't agree to do this kind of thing, because he had recently established a cooperative relationship with the sea wolf, and the sea wolf would often send some ships to escort his ships to Dayuan Trade, so as to avoid his merchant ship being robbed by Zheng Yiguan, at present, this kind of cooperation is still relatively pleasant, and it has indeed brought him benefits, and even he bought more than a dozen cannons from the sea wolf and installed them on his merchant ship to enhance the self-defense ability of his merchant ship.

The two sides are currently an ally, so when he heard that Yu Zhigao ordered him to find the red-haired people and ask the red-haired people to help the government deal with the sea wolves, Xu Xinsu disagreed with this from the bottom of his heart.

But without waiting for Xu Xinsu to refuse, Yu Zhigao threatened him and told Xu Xinsu that if he didn't do this, then he wouldn't want to continue his business in the future, and there would be no place for him in Fujian.

If he doesn't follow the requirements of the government, then the Fujian officials want to crush him, as easy as pinching an ant to death, as long as he cuts off his supply of goods, confiscates his ships, and seizes his cargo number, then he will be finished.

So Xu Xinsu had to agree, there was nothing to talk about with these officials, as long as he still wanted to do maritime trade business, then he had to be subject to these officials, so he could only agree to come down and personally go to the big man to negotiate with the red-haired people.

And when the Dutch learned about this matter, the commander of the Grand Commander, Rejouz, did not immediately agree.

Because the matter was so high, he did not dare to make a decision on his own, and he had to obtain the consent of Peter Jun, the governor of Batavia, the Netherlands.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf have long been the object of attention of the Dutch, and not long after they occupied the position, they learned the names of Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf, and through some merchants, they learned that there was a relatively maverick pirate group on the coast of Fujian.

This group of sea wolves controls a large part of the sea surface and a considerable length of shipping routes in Fujian, which is a threat to them, but this group of sea wolves, for a long time, has not had any conflict with them, and later he also learned that this group of sea wolves in the northern part of Taiwan Island, established two large-scale strongholds, a large number of immigrants from land, in the northern part of Taiwan for farming.

This has aroused their attention even more, the Dutch actually have a greater appetite for the island of Taiwan, and they are not just satisfied with just occupying the place of Dayuan in the south of the island and establishing a trading port to do business with the Ming Dynasty.

After they occupied the majority, they discovered the value of the island of Taiwan, in this era, although it belongs to the wilderness, but there are a huge number of indigenous people living here, in addition to the island of Taiwan is rich in deerskin, camphor and other things, as well as precious clouded leopard skin, it is extremely sought after, and it can be transported back to Europe to earn a lot of profits.

Now that there is such a force, they have also begun to travel on the island of Taiwan, and it is obvious that they have become their potential enemies, so during this time, the Dutch are also very concerned about the situation of the sea wolf, and have sent spies to Tamsui and chicken coops many times to find out the situation over there.

Now they have made an assessment of the sea wolf, they think that the sea wolf is very strong, and has a large armed force, in the coastal area of Fujian, in a short period of time, no one can challenge, and they have developed very quickly, and they also attach great importance to the construction of defense facilities.

The sea wolf has made it clear that it will continue to operate on the island of Taiwan for a long time, whether it is in Jilong Bay or in the area of the Tamsui River, they have built perfect fortifications, which are far more than the defense facilities they have built in Dayuan, and the sea wolf's performance is also very strange, many of their buildings, especially fortifications, are similar to European fortresses, which are very different from the Chinese-style walled fort structure.

And they also confirmed that the Seawolf has the ability to cast its own cannons and build ships, which surprised them even more, and the guns cast by the Seawolves themselves, although they have not obtained the real thing, but they can still basically be sure that the artillery they cast is not an old-style Chinese-style artillery, but a completely Western-style artillery, which is rumored to be of quite good quality, powerful, long-range, and fast rate of fire.

In this way, the strength of the sea wolves will be continuously enhanced, and they can be completely self-sufficient, gradually building a strong sea force.

This is not good news for them Dutch, because once the strength of the sea wolf develops to a certain extent, they will definitely no longer be satisfied with just operating in northern Taiwan, they will definitely extend their tentacles to the south and southern Taiwan, the reason is very simple, that is, there are many hilly lands in northern Taiwan and few plains, which are not very suitable for tun farming, while the south of Taiwan is more plain and the land is fertile, which is more suitable for tun farming and feeding more immigrants.

Once that time comes, the sea wolves may threaten their existence in Dayuan, and may even squeeze them out of the island of Taiwan, they have been on the coast of China for so many years, and it is not easy to find such a place, as a port for them to trade with the Ming Dynasty, if they are driven away by the sea wolves, they will completely lose their bridgehead along the coast of China, everything will return to the starting point, and it may even affect their trade with the Japanese, the sea wolves can easily cut off their trade routes to Japan, Then they will be in big trouble.

Therefore, the Dutch assessment of the sea wolf turned out that the sea wolf was the biggest potential enemy they were currently operating in Dayuan and the island of Taiwan, and they had to find a way to control it.

The last thing the Dutch want is an absolute control over the China Sea, because once someone controls the China Sea, it will seriously affect their interests, and this force may control all trade with them, make them lose their pricing power, and greatly increase their trade costs.

For now, the sea wolf is the most likely to do this, so the Dutch are even more afraid of the sea wolf, and they are very eager to have someone deal a heavy blow to the sea wolf, preferably severely weakening their strength.

But at the end of April, they got the news that their old rivals, the Spaniards, had also taken a fancy to the island of Taiwan, but the Spaniards did not dare to come to trouble their Dutch, and planned to run to the north of the island of Taiwan to follow their example and establish a trading port.

But the Spaniards did not expect that they met the sea wolf, a strong opponent in northern Taiwan, and the two of them had a large-scale sea and land conflict in the area of Chicken Long Bay.

Only one West Bank gunboat, which eventually escaped from the battlefield and fled back to Manila with its tail between its legs, made the Dutch even more shocked.

They are very clear about the strength of the fleet of the West Bankers, although the strength of these West Banks after the destruction of the Armada by the British, the strength is not as good as before, and the status of the sea supremacy is given to them by the Dutch, but after all, the West Banks are starving camels bigger than horses, and they still have considerable strength, and they have a small fleet that can be used all year round in Manila, with some gunboats and armed merchant ships.

This fleet was not easy for them to deal with, even compared to the fleet of the East India Company stationed in Bacheng, so for a long time, they could only watch the Spaniards control Luzon, occupy the city of Manila, trade with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and obtain a lot of wealth.

But what they didn't think was that such a light fleet would actually lose to the sea wolf, even if they evaluated the combat effectiveness of the sea wolf's fleet and thought that the sea wolf's combat effectiveness was quite strong, but they didn't think that they could easily defeat the West Bank's fleet, but the result surprised them, those arrogant West banks were actually beaten by the sea wolf, and almost wiped out in Chicken Coop Bay.

At this time, the Dutch are a little more jealous of the sea wolf, and they see the sea wolf as their biggest potential opponent at the moment.

Just when they felt helpless about this matter, the Fujian government of China extended an olive branch to them, wanting to ask them for help to deal with the sea wolf together.

If they had been allowed to deal with the sea wolves by themselves before, the Dutch would not have been sure, especially after the defeat of the West Banks in Chicken Coop Bay, they would not dare to take action against the sea wolves easily.

But suddenly, now that the Ming Mansion wants to concentrate the power of a province to attack the sea wolves, then this time they feel that it may be a rare opportunity for them.

And the attitude of the Ming government is also very important for them to gain a firm foothold in the Dayuan, if they do not agree to the request of the Daming government, then the Daming government can prohibit Chinese merchants from trading with them, even if it cannot be completely banned, at least it will have a great impact.

The purpose of the existence of the Dayuan is to trade with the Ming Dynasty, if Fujian prohibits trade with them, Guangdong is estimated to follow suit, and then they will not be able to obtain enough goods in the Dayuan, so the Dayuan will lose the value of existence.

Therefore, after talking to Xu Xinsu, Reyoz thought that they could agree to Daming's conditions, and take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to this sea wolf, greatly weaken their strength, and eliminate the threat in the initial stage, but at the moment, he can't make the decision on this matter.

Although he has the authorization of the East India Company and can have the power to act cheaply in Taiwan, the biggest problem at the moment is that he is not strong enough.

At present, he has only four ships stationed on Taiyuan Island, of which only one is a gunboat of more than 400 tons, and the other three are sloops with a displacement of only more than 100 tons.

If he wants to help the government to exterminate the sea wolves with this little strength alone, it is impossible at all, and if he doesn't get it, he will suffer a fiasco, and the fate of the West Banks is in front of his eyes.

Therefore, even if he is willing, he must obtain the consent of Peter Jun, the governor of Bacheng, and send him reinforcements to participate in the battle, otherwise he will not be able to do this with his current strength.

So he told Xu Xinsu that he agreed in principle to help the Ming government in this matter, but he had to give him a minimum of three months to prepare, because he had to ask their master to send warships from Bacheng to help in the war, otherwise he would not be able to do what the government required.

Xu Xinsu had no choice but to return to Quanzhou and report the results of his negotiations with the Dutch to Yu Zhigao, who had no choice but to report the matter to Zhu Yifeng.

Zhu Yifeng thought about it for a while, and three months was still acceptable, because if he wanted to organize such a large-scale military operation this time, he had to prepare silver, food, warships, artillery, and mobilize soldiers and horses, and when he was thoroughly prepared, the time was almost up.

In this era, the speed of mobilization and assembly of officers and troops was very slow, and even if he was the governor, it would take at least two or three months to complete the preparations for war, so the Dutch said that they would have to wait for three months, which was acceptable.

So this matter was settled, and the Fujian government, under Zhu Yifeng's order, began to make preparations, and the materials and personnel began to move.
