For Western civilization, Java at this time was a completely barren land. In their opinion, there is no difference between the aborigines and the monkeys on the island of Java. Governor Kuiyi even directly called these people black-skinned monkeys, and he often called the Ming people yellow-skinned monkeys.

As a Caucasians, he has an infinite sense of glory. Therefore, he also hated Li Xiao to the core. However, he chose a different way to take revenge from Wu Sangui. That is, to maintain a base in the Far East that can be operated, and in the future the motherland will become strong again. You can rely on the geographical advantage of Java Island to hold that narrow strait.

Born as an admiral, he knows too well the role of the strait. As long as he controls the strait and Java, he can directly separate the Indian Ocean from the Pacific Ocean. No matter how powerful the yellow-skinned monkeys in the east are, it will be difficult for them to continue to penetrate westward. He wants to protect the great Christian civilization, and he wants to protect the holy white man from the yellow-skinned monkeys.

Zheng Zhilong's power in the strait is very huge, and it is not something that Yu Yi can compete with at this time. He was gathering strength, and at the same time he did not offend the English.

The Dutch, known as the coachmen of the sea, have been running the island of Java since 40 years ago. After all these years of operation, the island of Java is actually very different from what it was 40 years ago.

The main change was the beginning of religion here. Most of the servants from India believed in Hinduism or Buddhism, and most of the Ming maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty believed in Buddhism or Taoism, the native religion of the Ming Dynasty.

The Silent Religion from the Middle East, with its strong missionary ability and highly inflammatory teachings, quickly occupied the religious market of the indigenous people. So much so that many indigenous areas have begun to appear Qingzhen Temple.

Every Sunday of the Mohan Sect, there will be a sea of believers who come to worship in the Qingzhen Temple. There are even some believers who sell their life's belongings and go to the holy land of the Mai family to worship.

As long as such a person returns to Java, he will become a great hero that everyone envies.

There is no control over religion, anyway, people believe whatever they like. In the face of the powerful Da Ming, he was selectively blind to the religious beliefs of the people at the bottom. The natives at the bottom have some beliefs, and these are not human beings anyway, at most they are black-skinned monkeys who are worse than the smart yellow-skinned monkeys.

The attitude of the governor determined that the religions in Java were in full bloom.

You can see that next to the Mazu Temple, there is a Taoist temple. A little further afield, you will find temples. Indigenous settlements [5200 www.bqg5200.xyz], usually with Qingzhen Temple. And on top of the tower of the Doge's Palace, which represents the authority of the Governor, a high cross is erected.

He is a person who is very good at judging the situation, and his defeat in Daming has almost lost all his family resources. When his power was no longer strong, he chose the Daming Maritime Merchants as the administrator of Java. Most of the office offices in Java are yellow-skinned Ming people. Even the position of the head of the errand officer, or the head of the fast catcher, is also held by the Ming people.

There is also a reason for this, because many Ming people who have been running the sea for months and months can write. As long as there is an interpreter, you can have a good communication with white people.

The poor natives can only do the lowest and lowest jobs on the land handed down by their ancestors. can be mixed with an errand soldier, and the ancestral grave is already billowed with smoke.

The whites govern the Ming people, and the Ming people govern the indigenous population, and this is the power structure on the island of Java. This Game of Thrones has been going on for two years, and it still seems to be in a well-functioning phase.

As long as the Ming people are obedient, they don't bother to care about some of their small problems. For example, bribery, such as cruelty to the aborigines who have made mistakes, such as helping the white people to divide the property of the natives, such as punishing and humiliating the aboriginal leaders, in order to establish deterrence.

In his opinion, as long as he controls the white army of 2,000 people, he controls everything in Java. Of course he didn't bother to pay attention to what the Daming maritime merchants did here, and besides, the benefits of the Daming maritime merchants were also a lot, and it was very necessary to turn a blind eye.

The top is too lazy to care, and the Ming people naturally understand it. In Javanese officialdom, the culture is rampant, and everything is so similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. For the purpose of promotion and wealth, everyone traveled thousands of miles to rule the stupid Javanese monkeys. This ideal is great, it is worth promoting, and it requires the spirit of practice.

So the officials of the Ming people began to collude with the maritime merchants, or rather, they were originally maritime merchants. Reselling Javanese specialties, minerals, and even the population of Java.

On the dock managed by the Ming people, there is already an open human market. is responsible for buying and selling people to the Ming Dynasty as slaves!

Slaves are not worth much in Java, and twenty or thirty Daming copper brothers can buy an indigenous girl. Resold to Fujian, Guangdong, those places, to say the least, can be worth three or five taels of silver. These female slaves were not familiar with the Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to run away or resist at all.

At present, indigenous slaves are already in short supply. In some places, even abduction has become a common practice. not only abducted the young man, but even beat the child's idea. Every day, slave ships set sail from the Java docks and crossed the vast South China Sea to Guangzhou or Quanzhou.

For those slave ships, it was just an ordinary voyage. But for the natives who were sold, it was a farewell to their homeland.

What he didn't expect was that the natives who seemed to him to be submissive were actually holding back their anger. Two years of oppression have raised the anger to dangerous levels. It only takes a little spark to ignite this anger, and now the one who lit the fire is here.

"Oh! Brother Zheng, look up for a long time! Long admiration! Wu Sangui faced a middle-aged man in front of him and enthusiastically clenched his fists.

"You are Mr. Wu of the East India Company of England?" Zheng Chengzong looked at the young man in front of him, this guy was too young, so young that it was beyond Zheng Chengzong's expectations.

"It's Wu, a little care, not respect." Wu Sangui ordered someone to present the gift.

A beautiful glass box contains Korean red ginseng, next to a statue of Guanyin, and at the back is a shelf of genuine deer antler velvet.

As the leader of the Javanese maritime merchants, Zheng Chengzong's eyes narrowed, although these places in Java are hot and dry, but they like the tonic from the bitter cold place the most, and it is said that these things will have extraordinary effects when eaten with the blood bird's nest, which is a specialty of Java.

Man! Who doesn't need some supplements yet!

Because these things are far away in Northeast Asia, they are precious on the island of Java. In comparison, the red gold **** statue is nothing. It's just beautifully shaped gold, and who hasn't seen it.

"Mr. Wu, you are too wasteful, how embarrassing is this. Etiquette must be asked for by others, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, and the brother who can be thoughtful must be thoughtful. "Zheng Chengzong is a maritime merchant, so he naturally understands the principle of equivalent exchange. No one would ever meet for the first time and give such a heavy gift to someone for no reason.

"Brother Zheng is happy! My ancestors are from Liaodong, and these things were also obtained through some connections between my ancestors. This time, it was Mr. George, who represented the East India Company of England, to discuss a business with Brother Zheng. ”

"Oh! Let's talk about it, if you can help, someone Zheng will definitely help. For the sake of the generous gifts, Zheng Chengzong thought that if it was not a big deal, he would agree to it. The English East India Company is also a wealthy and powerful master, and it is not good to have a good relationship with these people in the future.

"There's a lot at stake, you see......! Belch......! Wu Sangui looked left and right.

Zheng Chengzong waved his hand, and the servants and cronies who were waiting all withdrew, leaving only Wu Sangui and Zheng Chengzong in the room. There are two strong men of the Zheng family standing at the door, like two door gods, and idlers are not allowed to approach.

"Here's the thing, you know that the strait is more heavily guarded. So, our East India Company ships wanted to come around from the open sea. This requires an anchorage, but Mr. Kuichi doesn't like the English very much, so that's ...... I thought I would ask Mr. Zheng for help. ”

"Oh! What is being shipped? As far as I know, the strait doesn't seem to be wide. Zheng Chengzong's face immediately darkened, in fact, there was only one kind of goods strictly inspected on the other side of the strait, that is, duck slices.

As long as the duck slice is found, whether it is the captain or the crew, it does not matter whether it is innocent or not. These people will be killed, and their bodies will be hung from trees for public display. The duck slices will be destroyed by the fire along with the ship and finally sink into the sea.

Zheng Chengzong didn't break it, just for the sake of the face of these gifts. If this guy surnamed Wu insists on going his own way, I'm afraid he can only drive people out. Zheng Chengzong didn't want to be found out to be involved in this matter, and the Zheng family's family law was not something he could afford.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Zheng, you said that you were transporting duck slices, so you didn't dare to go through the strait. You can only go to the open sea, but don't worry. These duck slices were not shipped to Daming, but to the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo. You know, the Ming Dynasty strictly inspects the duck slices. But for the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, this kind of thing was not forbidden.

Many nobles in the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo also had an addiction to smoking this thing. So, the price is very good. If you don't believe Mr. Zheng, you can send someone to board the ship and follow you to the country to unload the goods. Wu is a hostage in Java Port, as long as one or two duck pieces flow to the land of Daming, Wu's head is Brother Zheng. How is it? ”

"Uh......!" Zheng Chengzong hesitated, and Zheng Zhilong only said that one or two duck slices were not allowed to disperse to the land of Daming. He didn't say that one or two opiums were not allowed to be trafficked to Korea or the Japanese state. The English were transported to Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, which was a sideshow. Besides, this surname Wu was introduced by Yu Yi's deputy, and this face can't be left unavailable.

"In return, of course. We will ......" Wu Sangui looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "We will help you drive out the Dutch, so that this place is completely decided by the Ming people." ”

"Oh!" Zheng Chengzong's heart is tight again! In fact, he had long seen the weakness of the Dutch, and it was not easy to deal with two thousand Dutch soldiers. This requires the use of many manpower of the Zheng family, and they sent someone back to Quanzhou last year. I got the news that the patriarch Zheng Zhilong went to Beijing to be the minister of water and electricity. The old clans who remained in Quanzhou were leaderless and were now fighting among themselves.

Without the support of the Zheng family, Zheng Chengzong could only sigh in vain. Now that he suddenly heard this surnamed Wu say that the English would support him, the little flame in his heart immediately began to burn.

"The Dutch have two thousand troops here, and they are well armed. How many troops are the English ready to send? Zheng Chengzong naturally won't agree easily, and will first explore the reality of the English.

"Our East India Company can't mobilize the Indian garrison, but we can send some arms to Brother Zheng. The Dutch occupy the island of Java, but they take advantage of the equipment. If you talk about melee combat, how can you be the opponent of my thousand-year-old civilization of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Dutch are suppressed on the firearms, there are tens of thousands of Javanese Ming people. Killing the 2,000 Dutch garrisons was just a matter of effort. ”

"How much ammunition can you give?" Hearing the word munitions, Zheng Chengzong's eyes lit up. Daming firearms are naturally respected by the Liao army. Those who can be well-equipped are all descendants of the Liao army. Even the Liao Army garrison division can only get the eliminated old-fashioned firearms.

It is even more difficult for other armed forces to obtain advanced firearms.

Because of their good relationship with the Liao army, the Zheng family got some arms. But they are all equipped with Zheng Zhilong's descendants, and in the hands of Zheng Chengzong, a side branch of the Zheng family, there are few firecrackers that can be used. Now the English want to give a batch, which is really unwanted.

Zheng Chengzong decided that whether he did the Dutch or not, he would get this batch of firearms in his hands first.

"Two thousand guns and ten guns. But ......" Wu Sangui said this, adjusting Zheng Chengzong's appetite.

"But what?" Sure enough, Zheng Chengzong was a little breathless.

"However, our East India Company supported these arms, after Brother Zheng got Java Island. Not only are we to be free of charge to the East India Company of England, but we are also to be allowed to stock up in Java. Of course, the previous promise to you remains the same. One or two duck slices flowed into Daming, and Brother Zheng could cut off someone's head in Wu. Wu Sangui put his hand on his neck and made a cutting motion.

Wu Sangui saw Zheng Chengzong's eyes and knew that the fish had swallowed the bait.

"Okay, I can promise you that. In the future, the ships of the English could borrow the port of Java, and all fees would be waived. And you can also stock up in Java, but if you have a duck slice or two, it will flow into Daming. Then don't blame Zheng for being ruthless! Zheng Chengzong agreed without thinking about it.

It doesn't matter what you promise now, just get your hands on this batch of arms.

"Good! Brother Zheng is a happy person, deal! Wu Sangui happily stretched out his hand.

Zheng Chengzong did not hesitate at all, and also stretched out his hand. The palms of the two hands collided in the air, making a slight "pop" sound. According to the rules of the Ming people, this is considered to be a contract.
