Hearing Gongzhi Huanyi's words, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Lord Gongzhi is right, but the East China Sea Fleet has its own garrison and defense area restrictions, and this officer is no longer a thief, how can he casually order them to leave the station, abandon the defense area, and go to Qiongzhou Island to fight the Franc Machine?" Besides, those robbers are foreigners, and if we go to war with them easily, it will cause a dispute between the two countries, and I beg your pardon for the inability to do anything about it......"

Duan Fei's words made everyone lose their voices again, what Duan Fei said was indeed the truth, but with his temper and the weight of his speech in front of Huang Shan, everyone was a little surprised to hear him say this, and after a while, Yu Qi said loudly: "My lord, can we only watch those Francophone pirates on Qiongzhou Island run amok?" My lord! ”

Seeing that several of the top officials did not dare to make a sound, Wang Hong, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Judicial Department, rolled his eyes and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, Lord Duan didn't say that he wanted to stand by, but Lord Duan's concerns are also true, so let's do it, our Guangdong officials jointly wrote a letter to the emperor to explain in detail the disadvantages of the lack of sea sailors in Guangdong, and then ask the emperor to order the East China Sea Fleet in Moon Bay to go to Qiongzhou Island to expel those Franc machine pirates, everyone must remember that those Franc machine people are all pirates, otherwise how could they commit banditry acts?" No matter what country they are, as long as they become robbers and are killed by us, they all deserve it, right? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they all agreed, and all looked at Duan Fei, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Lord Wang said it well, if this is the case, the official has no choice but to intervene to help the people get rid of these robbers......

The officials led by Gongzhi Huanyi immediately wrote a joint letter while it was hot, and Duan Fei also wrote a letter and sent someone to bring it to Wu Huai'an, the letter was carefully scrutinized word by word, and it was moved by emotion and reason, this is not an order, but a request for assistance, Wu Huai'an can't understand the difference, but it can prevent someone from really wanting to find Duan Fei's fault in this matter afterwards.

After the matter was discussed, everyone went their own way, Duan Fei ordered the intelligence system of Guangdong Jinyiwei to shift the focus to the Franc machine invasion on Qiongzhou Island, and soon received a large amount of information, this time the Franc machine people invaded Changhua Port The motive is very suspicious, and the process is also very suspicious, they are not like the Franc machine people sent by the Manchu Jia side of the Franc machine, but more like a group of real Western pirates!

Duan Fei really wanted to call He Hai and Wu Haiyan to ask what was going on, but unfortunately these two people saw that Duan Fei had been staying in Guangxi and was busy with land reform, and they didn't have time to inspect the seaside at all, so one went north and the other went south, and they didn't know where to go, and they couldn't call back for a while.

While Duan Fei was waiting for news from Fujian, a person came to Guangzhou with a letter written by Duan Fei to Haizi to ask to see Lord Qincha.

When Jiang Hui brought Fu Mink to Duan Fei's study, Duan Fei carefully looked at Fu Mink, only to see that this person who had single-handedly created a huge maritime business empire for Wang Tang and He Hai before and after turned out to be a weak scholar, and it was absolutely impossible to see from the appearance that this person could have such great ability.

Fu Mink didn't raise his head after entering the study, his thin body immediately fell towards Duan Fei, and he kowtowed three times in the genuine version, and said: "Sinners Fu Mink, thank you for your grace not to kill, sinners are thinking about meritorious service and atonement all the time, if you can do something for adults, the grass people will not hesitate to break their bones!" ”

Duan Fei smiled and said: "You get up, I heard that you have done a good job under Haizi, this official is very pleased, you have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country and the people, and the previous mistakes have already been made up for in the past, so why bother?" Fu Mink, what I originally wanted to find was Haizi, since you came, you must have come prepared, then this official is not welcome, let me ask you, can the Francophone man who is full of thorns have the heart to invade Qiongzhou Island and confront my Ming Dynasty? ”

Fu Mink stood up and replied respectfully: "The sinners took care of the business in the East China Sea and the South China Sea on the orders of Lord Haizi, and were dispatched by the adults, and the grass people were really overjoyed, and immediately went to the vicinity of Changhua Port to inquire about the news, and now they have first-hand accurate information, so they dare to come to see the adults, back to the question just now, the Franco machine people who occupy the Manchu Thorn Plus are currently busy suppressing the local people in Manchu and the vicinity, and they know that our Ming ships are strong and artillery, how dare they dare to provoke easily, this time it was the Changhua Port on Qiongzhou Island that was seized by the Franc machine people, not the Franc machine people, It's another group of Western devils, let's call them red-haired fans......"

Duan Fei was surprised: "It's the Dutch? ”

Fu Mink smiled and said: "Exactly, Haizi said that the adults know everything about overseas affairs, and the criminals were still a little suspicious, but now that they have seen it with their own eyes, the adults even know about the red-haired fan who has just appeared, and they claim to be from a place called Helan, a name that few people can remember." ”

Duan Fei smiled and shook his head, and said in wonder, "Dutch...... Why did they capture the port of Changhua? Could it be that they, like the Francophiles back then, wanted to do business with us but were refused? ”

Fu Mink shook his head and said: "My lord, these red-haired fans are real pirates, they rely on the strength of their ships and guns, and have killed many innocent people in Java and other places, please see, this is a wanted notice for them collected by the criminals, if the adults send a fleet to exterminate this group of pirates, all countries in Southeast Asia will be grateful to the adults, and the Francos will also be impressed by the adults, and they will not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty, my lord, this group of red-haired pirates must be suppressed." ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "This official has planned to meet this group of red-haired pirates who have come all the way to Daming to send them to death, since you have personally explored them, why don't you tell this official the details of their strength?" ”

Fu Mink hurriedly told Duan Fei the information of these red-haired pirates, in fact, this group of red-haired pirates only had five ships, each ship had thirty Franco cannons, and the red-haired pirates had a total of less than sixty people, and their leader was a guy nicknamed Redbeard, in addition to the red-haired fan, there were many people on the ship who they had captured from all over the world, and those who were able to hold on to it until now have become pirates, and there are many small boats attached to the five big ships, if you count the total number, there are about two thousand people.

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Fifty or so people can use force to control so many people and establish a huge pirate organization, it seems that these red-haired people still have some ability, Fu Mink, do you know why these red-haired pirates came to Daming to grab a port and occupy it?" They should have their own lair, right? ”

Fu Mink said: "Yes, the sinners know that this is because the Francophile copied the nest of these red-haired fans, and these red-haired people heard about the forcible occupation of Tuen Mun Island by the Francophone people, so they planned to follow the example of occupying Qiongzhou Island as a stronghold......"

Duan Fei sneered: "Sure enough, the wolf is ambitious, but unfortunately they miscalculated the situation, the current Ming Dynasty is not a few years ago, this time the official not only wants them to come and go, but by the way, the official also plans to calculate the account from a few years ago with the Franc man, Fu Mink, you know the strength of the Franc man, do you think if we start a war with the Franc man now, what are the chances of winning?" ”
