"Of course I have an intention, but Benjue has an idea:

These five first-class battleships will wait for you to finish building and then hand them over to my Ming Navy I don't know what year and month it will take to wait, I don't think it's as good as this, you will sell this "stubborn John" as the first first-class battleship of my Ming Navy, and Benjue will drive him away, how about it?

In this way, you will only build four of the five first-class warships we have allocated for the purchase of the first class, and the first first-class warship, the "Stubborn John", will also be sold to us at the price of 300,000 silver dollars for the new construction, which also saves the cost of transportation, so why not? ”

Van der Laan had to admit that Liu Kongzhao was reasonable, but he was also a little puzzled and asked, "But why is His Excellency the Earl so anxious to have a first-class battleship?" ”

"I won't hide it from you here, the power of this Zheng family is getting bigger and bigger, my Ming court can't control it, if my Ming Navy doesn't have a powerful warship, I'm afraid that in the future, I can only watch this Zheng family become bigger, I think this is not the ending you want to see."

In addition, as long as you let me take this first-class warship back to Nanjing to show your majesty now, my Chinese emperor will only be willing to agree to my cooperation with you, and then I will give you the next three or four million silver dollars, instead of to the Franco, can you still not believe me;

I, Liu Kongzhao, am the descendant of the god of wisdom that you mentioned, and my meaning will often be represented by the meaning of my Majesty the Emperor of China. ”

Liu Kongzhao was so foolish, and began to believe that Liu Kongzhao was a top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty and could influence the opinions of the Ming Emperor, Vanderland finally agreed to Liu Kongzhao's request and signed a contract with Liu Kongzhao to deliver the stubborn John warship to Liu Kongzhao as the first first-class warship.

Liu Kongzhao first paid a deposit of 100,000 silver dollars, and the rest of the money was to be made up within three months after returning to Beijing, together with the payment for other orders.

In this way, Liu Kongzhao only used 100,000 silver dollars to take Van der Lane's flagship away, and Van der Lan returned to Batavia City with Liu Kongzhao's 100,000 silver dollars, a contract, and a jade pendant symbolizing his status as a top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.

A large order with a total value of 4.5 million silver dollars.

After addition, there can be a long-term relationship with millions of silver dollar business.

Coupled with the status of a top nobleman who is almost equal to the emperor, even a Westerner himself has heard of his ancestors.

These are the reasons why Vanderland chose to deliver the first-class battleship "Stubborn John" to Liu Kongzhao.

In front of this large order of millions of silver dollars, Vanderrainer had to be moved, as a businessman who came to the Far East, what he pursued was to make more profits.

The cost of a first-class warship is about 100,000 silver dollars, and even if the transportation costs, labor costs, and dividends paid to the East India Company are added to complete the sale of a first-class warship, Van der Laan estimates that his shipbuilding company can earn a profit of 100,000 silver dollars.

And five ships are 500,000 silver dollars, plus other orders, Vanderland found that as long as he firmly grasped Liu Kongzhao, a buyer, he could still make more profits than by plundering everywhere without having to go on such a hard ocean voyage.

As for whether this will strengthen the strength of the Ming Empire's navy, Vanderland feels that Liu Kongzhao is right, the Ming Empire's navy in the Far East will naturally not affect their maritime security in the Western Ocean, and helping the Ming Empire's navy can indeed suppress the rise of the Zheng Group.

As a Dutch colonist, Vanderland also dared to be angry with the Zheng Group, and even hoped that the navy of the Ming Empire could clean up the Zheng Group.

As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Vanderlaan chose to give the first-class battleship to the Ming Navy without any psychological pressure.

In addition, Liu Kongzhao said that he could also find a Franco machine man or even a pair of people who competed with his family in the Dutch shipbuilding industry, which made Van der Laan feel even more that he was now one step ahead of the Franco machine man to establish a business relationship with the top nobles of the Ming Empire, even the governor would be very happy, and his family would be very happy.

As for the "Stubborn John", a first-class battleship, was given to Daming, Vanderland was not worried about being blamed by the East India Company, because it was originally made by his family.

Liu Kongzhao let the navy escort he brought with him drive the "Stubborn John" to Kinmen Island.

"This name must be changed, and when the time comes, please give your majesty a name."

Liu Kongzhao laughed as he spoke, he finally had some confidence to hold his head high in the Zheng Group's warship camp.

Of course, Liu Kongzhao didn't expect that his boasting and fooling could really fool this super giant ship from the hands of the red hair.

Liu Kongzhao thought to himself, if he knew, he would definitely die of anger.

Of course, the reason why Liu Kongzhao would rather buy the "Stubborn John" battleship at the price of buying a new ship first is also because of the fact that the Zheng group of the Ming Dynasty is about to declare war on the first part of the East Fan, which may lead to a bad relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Hongmaofan, and maybe Vanderland's cooperation with himself will have to stop.

Because of this, Liu Kongzhao decided to fool Van der Laan into selling this super battleship to himself before he knew that the Zheng Group was really going to make a move against him.

In this way, even if the cooperation is terminated, he can earn a super battleship first, and it is not a loss.

However, Liu Kongzhao also hopes to continue to cooperate with Vanderrain, after all, the Ming Navy needs more than just a first-class warship in the future.

Liu Kongzhao is already mentally prepared, and when the time comes, he will continue to be emotional and reasonable to Van der Lan, throw the pot of attacking Yi to the Zheng family, and continue to draw a big pie for Van der Lan, as long as Van der Lan is still willing to make money from his own hands, he must continue to put the national interests aside and cooperate with him.

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Liu Kongzhao to be able to get the "Stubborn John" directly from Van der Lan.

On the same day, Zheng Zhihu and Liu Guoxuan and other generals of the Zheng Group also rushed to visit, and they all flattered Liu Kongzhao, and Liu Kongzhao naturally did not shy away from letting these Zheng family members see, after all, the relationship between the imperial court and the Zheng family is so delicate, and suspicion and intimacy coexist.

On the same day, Zheng Zhilong held a pledge meeting, and 300 large warships gathered on Kinmen Island.

Liu Kongzhao was also fortunate to participate in it, looking at these scenes with sails and flags covering the sky and dense warships, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Zheng family did have a strong foundation.

Liu Kongzhao followed the Zheng family's warship fleet towards Penghu, where he joined Shi Lang's warship.

A few days later, the Zheng group's fleet arrived in the southern part of Dongfan Island, and for a time almost the entire sea was filled with Zheng family's warships on the coast of the two cities of Geranza and Pulominza.

At this time, the Dutch colonists had also completed the defense preparations for the fortified wilderness.

The shores of the cities of Geransha and Pulomin were crowded with broken ships in the harbor, and even the harbors were all destroyed, in order to prevent the Zheng fleet from landing.

It was the first time for Liu Kongzhao to observe this kind of landing battle, and for a while he had the time to order his men to drive his first-class battleship farther forward.

"Uncle has an order, set sail at high tide, and rush into the Luermen Inland Sea with all his might!"
