Zhenhaiwei Zhongzuo, an important military fort defending Xiamen Port, has become dilapidated at this time, first was bombarded by the Dutch warships nearly half of the city wall and the houses in the fort, and then the Ming army counterattack was bombarded by the Hongyi cannon of Yongningwei, at this time there are not a few complete sections of the city wall.

At this time, the Dutch warships had retreated ten miles according to the agreement, and there was no trace of the Dutch in the city, and the governor Zhu Yifeng entered the city with a large army.

Walking on the streets of the city, looking at the ruins on both sides, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, a good castle was destroyed in two or three days, and he didn't know how much people's labor would cost to rebuild.

Seeing that Yang Yingqian had been silent since he entered the city, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Lord Yang hasn't said a word since he entered the city, but what's on his mind?"

Seeing that Zhu Yifeng had discovered the change in his mood, Yang Yingqian simply said what he was thinking.

"Such a prosperous small city, just after a few days turned into a ruin, thousands of people displaced, the country's armament is in ruins, to the people only brought endless torment and torture, this time we and the red-haired ghost is not fierce and caused such consequences, the eastern border of Liaodong has lasted for nearly ten years, the people's lives are not even more miserable, this is all the fault of our court officials!"

Yang Yingqian's words couldn't help but make Zhu Yifeng a little impressed, after so many years of ups and downs in the sea of Huan, there are too few officials in the DPRK and China who can have such insight, this Yang Yingqian can have such insight at such a young age, and in time, he will become a talent of the Ming Dynasty.

looked at Yang Yingqian's eyes at the moment, and there was a little more pity in his eyes.

"Wait for this incident, this official will truthfully report this matter to the saint, I think the imperial court will definitely be of great use to you, if you can be sent to Liaodong, maybe you can also display the ambition in your chest!"

Yang Yingqian did not reply, but looked up at the slightly gray sky, if you want to make a difference in this troubled era, you have to expand the army as soon as possible, although Yongningwei has now begun to have combat effectiveness, but there are only a few thousand people, it is difficult to affect the overall situation.

Now that he has a stable source of economy, the pressure to expand the army will not be very great, but the maximum number of 5,000 officers and soldiers in a single guard station, if you want to expand the army, you must have a bigger platform, but now the government is controlled by the eunuch party, if you want to have greater development, you can't bypass the eunuch party, thinking of this Yang Yingqian can't help but have a headache.

Zhu Yifeng and his entourage came to the center of the center of the left office, a long wooden shed appeared in front of everyone, yesterday Zhu Yifeng decided to negotiate with the red-haired ghost, so he let the soldiers into the city in advance to build this wooden shed for the two sides to use when talking.

By this time several red-haired and blue-eyed Dutchmen were already standing in front of the shed, and it was the commander of this fleet, Faberg, and several of his officers.

Seeing that the Dutch were already waiting, Zhu Yifeng seemed to remember something, and leaned in front of Yang Yingqian and whispered: "This official sees that you know a lot about these Yiren things, and when you negotiate for a while, you will assist next to this official!" ”

Yang Yingqian couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Yifeng looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Immediately, Zhu Yifeng walked into the long shed and sat down on the side of the long table, with Yang Yingqian and Xu Li and other military attachés standing behind him, and behind Fairberg on the opposite side were also standing five or six Dutch officers.

Seeing the arrival of the Ming officials opposite, Feuerberg hurriedly got up from his seat and bent down to salute Zhu Yifeng.

"Dear Governor, I am Filberg, the commander of this fleet, and I sincerely apologize to you for this misunderstanding that happened the night before!"

Hearing Fairberg's words, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but sneer: "Killing hundreds of my soldiers and civilians like this when I returned to Huaicheng in the middle of the Ming Dynasty is actually a misunderstanding, are you Yi people blind?" Saying that, Zhu Yifeng patted the case and shouted.

Hearing that this Ming official came up and scolded, Feerberg's face couldn't help but twitch in embarrassment.

"This time, our East India Company came to Nanyang, in fact, to establish friendly trade relations with the Ming Kingdom!" Felberg didn't want to dwell on the matter of the day before yesterday anymore, so he said left and right.

Yang Yingqian saw the trick of the red-haired ghost, looked at Fairberg and said, "Mr. Commander, you are here to surrender today, and the trade matter should be put aside first." ”

Fairberg's face was embarrassed again, and then a Dutch officer sitting next to him suddenly said disdainfully: "Your Excellency Commander is an honor for you Ming people to come to negotiate with you, we still have a fleet in Penghu, if you don't know what to do, we will destroy your city!" ”

As soon as the Dutch officer's words came out, the generals who followed the Ming army were immediately furious.

Yang Yingqian smiled coldly: "Then we have to see if you can get out of here alive!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw one of the Zhan Hao on the side wave his hand, and the figures of Ming musketeers suddenly appeared on the ruins of houses and rooftops on both sides of the road, and hundreds of muskets suddenly surrounded this group of Dutch in the middle.

Yang Yingqian had expected that these Dutch would come out of the moth, so he let Zhan Haozhi lead his musketeers to ambush around the negotiation site early, and could respond immediately if the situation changed.

The Dutch obviously didn't expect the Ming people to set up an ambush here, and their eyes suddenly widened in fright, and the Dutch officer who spoke wildly just now also closed his mouth in amusement.

Fairberg turned around and glared at the officer fiercely, and then said to Zhu Yifeng with a humble smile on his face: "Honorable Governor, I am sorry once again for our presumptuous behavior, we sincerely want to establish a friendly relationship with Da Ming, and I don't know how to calm the anger of you and your subordinates." ”

Felberg is not a fool, judging from the artillery power of the Ming army yesterday and the elite musketeers around him now, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is far above their country, and it is definitely worth the loss to fight with such a giant beast, it is better to have a good attitude of admitting mistakes, maybe this Ming official is in a good mood, and can agree to their trade request.

Seeing that the red-haired officer was soft, Zhu Yifeng stroked his beard with satisfaction, pondered for a moment and said: "My Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, since you wait for the people to know your mistakes, this official can intercede on behalf of your emperor, or let you come to my Ming trade, but you have to agree to three conditions for this official!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Yifeng agreed to trade, Fairberg couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Honorable lord, you are really an enlightened official, please tell me your conditions." ”

Zhu Yifeng unhurriedly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, as if he wanted to adjust Felberg's appetite.

"This first point, your fleet needs to leave my Daming Penghu Islands immediately, otherwise everything will not be discussed, and this officer will also mobilize an elite fleet to destroy you!"

After Zhu Yifeng finished speaking, he looked at Fairberg fixedly, and Fairberg only agreed after a little hesitation after hearing this condition.

Originally, they wanted to permanently occupy Penghu and establish a stronghold, but this time they saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Penghu was not a good choice, and Xiaoliuqiu Island was also a good choice, but it was inevitable to eliminate the pirates entrenched on the island, but the combat effectiveness of a group of pirates should be negligible.

The red-haired ghost agreed so happily, Zhu Yifeng was a little surprised, so he talked about the second condition.

"As for trade with my Ming court, this official doesn't have such a great right to promise you, but you can contact this Lord Yang under this official, and he can help you find a trading partner for my Ming people."

Hearing this, Yang Yingqian was slightly surprised, Zhu Yifeng didn't tell him this beforehand, but seeing the smile in Zhu Yifeng's eyes, he immediately understood that this was a favor given to him by Zhu Yifeng, thinking about this, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but look at Zhu Yifeng gratefully.

At this point, Felberg also promised that as long as he could trade in the Ming Kingdom, what was the difference between official and private? And this Lord Yang seems to be also a high-status official, who should be able to protect his interests in the Ming Kingdom.

"Is this the third point, this time you invaded my Ming Sea Frontier, causing my Ming to lose so much, I should have killed you with ten thousand cannons, I think you still have the intention of repenting, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, the four warships you brought this time need to leave three, and the artillery and weapons on the remaining warship must also be left, and it should be the compensation this time!"

Hearing this, Felberg couldn't help but be shocked: "God, this must not be! ”

The fleet sent by the East India Company this time consisted of only about 20 warships, and the loss of these four would undoubtedly cause a serious decline in the strength of the fleet.

Seeing Feerberg's opposition to Zhu Yifeng, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"If you don't want to, then prepare for war!"

Immediately made a gesture to stand up, and when he saw that Zhu Yifeng was about to turn his face, Fairberg couldn't help but be shocked, these ninety-nine bows have been worshipped, and this one is missing, so will all the previous efforts be wasted.

Seeing that Zhu Yifeng was about to leave, Fairberg gritted his teeth and stood up and shouted, "I agree!" ”
