Chapter 31 Preparation for Peace Talks

Seeing that the four Dutch warships on the sea all hung up the white flags, Zhu Yifeng and the others, who were standing on the hillside watching the battle, couldn't help but be a little surprised, and even the officers and men of Zhenhaiwei, who were already about to rush to the Dutch soldiers' position, couldn't help but slow down.

Seeing a small sampan laid down on the flagship, a Dutch officer took the appearance of two Dutch soldiers to sit on the sampan and row ashore.

Zhu Yifeng looked at the sampan rowed on the sea, turned his head and asked Yang Yingqian, "Lord Yang, what do you think is the purpose of the red-haired ghost's move?" ”

Yang Yingqian pondered for a moment, after all, this group of Dutch was not a large number of regular troops, and to a large extent, they only followed the East India Company here to engage in colonial trade.

This kind of colonizer's virtue is like this, if he is much stronger than you, this group of people is the devil of killing, and they will carry out racial colonization and slaughter at every turn, but if you are stronger than him, or are evenly matched with him, he will change his face and sit down to negotiate with you.

It must have been a few rounds of volleys from the firearms battalion just now, which made these Dutch feel that the strength of the Ming army was not weak, and if they died again, they would probably not be able to afford it, after all, it was not easy for them to transfer troops here from Europe.

Thinking of this, Yang Yingqian bowed his hand to Zhu Yifeng slightly.

"I boldly guessed that the raid last night made this group of red-haired ghosts misjudge the combat strength of my Ming army, so they dared to land ashore to build a stronghold, but the shelling just now, coupled with the charge of the officers and soldiers of Lord Xu's department just now, must have made this group of red-haired ghosts afraid, and everyone on the sampan must have come to the armistice and peace talks!"

Yang Yingqian did not forget to praise Xu Li when he analyzed, Xu Li on the side couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Yang Yingqian, originally he was willing to put the old book on to save some face in front of the governor, this truce, but to save his more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, at the moment I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing Yang Yingqian's analysis, Zhu Yifeng also nodded slightly in agreement, and the three Dutchmen on the sampan got off the boat, and soon met the officers and soldiers of Zhenhaiwei, and the three of them were immediately tied into zongzi and brought to Zhu Yifeng and the others.

Zhu Yifeng looked at the three people who were tied up, and signaled to a few officers and soldiers on the side, and several officers and soldiers understood, so they untied the ropes on the three people.

"Why did you invade my maritime frontier and kill my border people, do you think that I have no one left?" Zhu Yifeng's eyes were like torches, and he shouted categorically at the three of them.

The three Dutchmen were taken aback by Zhu Yifeng's shouting and couldn't help but tremble.

Xu Li on the side also shouted: "You don't know how to be polite, and you don't kneel down to salute when you see the governor!" As he spoke, he glanced at several officers and soldiers behind the three of them.

Those officers and soldiers understood, untied the scabbard on their waists and aimed at the knees of the three and smashed them hard, these officers and soldiers are all Zhenhaiwei, this time because of this group of red-haired ghosts, Zhenhaiwei died so many people, and let the adults lose the adults in front of the governor, and they also made a dead hand at the moment.

The knee was hit hard, and the three Dutchmen were in pain, and they immediately fell to their knees with bared teeth.

The Dutchman, who was at the head of the group, struggled to stand up and spoke in Chinese with a strange accent: "We are messengers, you can't treat us like this!" ”

"Make you tall, be honest!" Behind him, a Zhenhai guard officer kicked the Dutchman in the ass again, and the Dutchman's body suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground and ate a dog nibbling mud.

I was kicked in the ass, and I was suddenly much more honest, and when I straightened up again, I was much more honest.

Zhu Yifeng looked at the three Dutch soldiers kneeling on the ground, and snorted lightly: "What is the purpose of the leader of your waiting for you to wait here?" ”

The Dutchman who was the leader grinned again when he felt a sharp pain in his knees, but he also knew that the Ming official in front of him was the supreme commander here.

Holding back the pain in his knees, he said: "Honorable lord, I am Captain Wei Malang of the Dutch Far East Fleet, and His Excellency our commander wants to establish friendly trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, so he specially asked me to deliver the message. ”

Yang Yingqian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, last night he still fired ten thousand cannons, and when he saw the strength of the Ming army today, he had to establish friendly relations with his face, and these colonists were really thick-skinned.

Zhu Yifeng also sneered, and was about to say something to refuse, but Yang Yingqian seemed to think of something, stepped forward and said, "Lord Futai, please take a step to speak." ”

Zhu Yifeng glanced at Yang Yingqian strangely, but because everyone was present, he followed Yang Yingqian to a secluded place a few steps.

It wasn't until there was no one around that Yang Yingqian spoke: "How does Lord Futai want to reply to this red-haired messenger?" ”

Zhu Yifeng didn't know what Yang Yingqian's calculations were, and when he heard him ask, he was even more strange in his heart: "How can I make peace with this kind of barbarian, not to mention that these red-haired ghosts killed so many of our soldiers and civilians last night, and this official is either party, of course he wants to exterminate these red-haired ghosts!" ”

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly: "As far as the lower officials know, there are still thousands of these red-haired ghosts in Nanyang, if Lord Futai kills them this time, thus attracting the main force of the red-haired ghosts to attack, can I resist the attack of the red-haired ghosts with the strength of my Fujian province?" ”

Hearing Yang Yingqian's question, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, although he relied on Yongningwei's cannon to bluff the red-haired ghost this time, but the only combatable soldiers in Fujian Province may be Yang Yingqian's Yongningwei and the thousands of battalions under him at present.

If it really starts, the Ming army may not be able to please it, and at present, the imperial court is also using troops everywhere, and I am afraid that there will be no extra troops to support Fujian.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yifeng looked at Yang Yingqian: "What does Lord Yang think should be done?" ”

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly: "As far as the officials know, the current situation in Nanyang is extremely complicated, in addition to these red-haired ghosts, there are also the Francophiles entrenched in Manraka and the Daming pirates who occupy Xiaoliuqiu Island, plus my Daming Sailor, it can be said that the world is divided." ”

"However, my Ming Dynasty has been deeply trapped in Liaodong since the previous dynasty, and the imperial court is now unable to pass through the South Seas, rather than us destroying these red-haired ghosts and attracting the revenge of their main forces, it is better to let them go back to fight for territory with the Francos and pirates, so as to buy time for my Ming Dynasty, and wait for the next day when I will prosper in the middle of the dynasty, and then level the South Seas in one fell swoop!"

After listening to Yang Yingqian's words, Zhu Yifeng nodded in approval and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Lord Yang is so young, how can he know so much about the affairs of Nanyang?" ”

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly and said: "Back to Lord Futai, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to work hard!" ”

Zhu Yifeng chewed this sentence carefully, and actually felt that it made sense, and remembered that Yang Yingqian also had a business partner of Franc Machine, and he was relieved at the moment.

"Are you going to let the official just let them go back?" Zhu Yifeng asked.

"Of course not, these red-haired ghosts, the more they give them a good face, the more they kick their noses in the face, although we are powerless to exterminate them now, but we must not weaken them in terms of momentum!"

Zhu Yifeng looked at Yang Yingqian half-jokingly and seemed to be serious: "Lord Yang, this official sees that you are not very old, but you are a little old and talented in seeking the country!" ”

The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, like two year-old friends, at this time Zhu Yifeng's heart already had his own judgment, this Yang Yingqian was definitely not a eunuch.

After a while, the two returned to the three Dutchmen, Zhu Yifeng was still strained, Yang Yingqian glanced at Zhu Yifeng, and with a secret smile in his heart, he stepped forward and walked in front of the three Dutchmen.

"Originally, Lord Futai had already mobilized a large army to prepare to kill Er and others, but God has the virtue of a good life, and I am the Heavenly Empire, since you are ready to repent, I will give you a chance, now you go back and tell your leader, immediately retreat ten miles with your people, and tomorrow our army will meet with your leader in the center and left, and talk about the conditions for forgiving you........."
