Chapter 407: Catching Up

"Uncle...... Your Excellency, Earl, you ...... You know English? ”

Looking at Ang Kes, who was stammering and looking at him, Yang Feng asked puzzledly: "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"No...... No, I ...... I ......"

Ankos felt that his mind was a little confused for a while, and after a long while, he explained in stumbling English: "Your Excellency, I beg your pardon, I was indeed rude just now. ”

Hearing Ancos's spoken English, which was even worse than his own, Yang Feng frowned, waved his hand and said, "Forget it...... Let's communicate in the language of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Earl!" Ang Kesi also breathed a sigh of relief, although he can also speak some English, but at best it is the level of two knives, but it is not as fluent as the Ming official, if Yang Feng really wants to communicate with him in English, it will be a big trouble, the bull head is not a small matter, if there is a problem because of the language barrier, it is a big deal.

"Major Onkos, let's get down to business." Yang Feng said: "I heard that you have something to look for me, can you say it now?" ”

"Yes!" Ankos knew that the time had come to decide his fate, whether he would work as a coolie in this strange country to death or return to his hometown would depend on his performance today, he took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Earl, I was ordered by Governor Steve, the Governor of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan), to meet His Excellency Stephen, the Governor of Portugal in Macao, but I didn't expect it to have a conflict with your country's navy, the Penghu Islands, Fujin, so that our fleet commander, Lieutenant Commander Rouen, was also killed in the conflict, I hope you will be magnanimous and not worry about us, and let us wanderers who are far from our homeland return to our hometown. ”

Seeing that Angkos actually downplayed the battle with the Fujian Navy Division as a conflict, Yang Feng couldn't help but sneer: "Major Angkos, I want to ask, where is the place where you are engaged with our fleet?" ”

"In the Penghu Islands?" Onkos replied.

Yang Feng continued to ask: "Is the Penghu Islands the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Onkos hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes! ”

Yang Feng raised his voice: "Since you also know that the Penghu Islands are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, why do you want to launch an attack on the navies of other countries patrolling your territory, can I understand that I am an invasion of the Ming Dynasty by your Dutch?" ”

"This ......"

In fact, strictly speaking, in the hearts of the Dutch are unwilling to admit the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty over the Penghu Islands, but because the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty fought a battle in the Penghu Islands during the Wanli period, the Ming army spent a lot of effort to drive the Dutch away from the Penghu Islands, and now whether the Dutch admit it or not, the Penghu Islands are the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty It is an indisputable fact, and it is useless for Ang Kos to deny it.

Ancos said reluctantly: "It is indeed our mistake, that we were too impulsive. However, we would like to apologize to your country for this incident. ”

"Too impulsive?"

Seeing that the Dutch officer actually downplayed a battle into a conflict and tried to downplay it, Yang Feng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and slapped his right hand.

"Smack...... Crash! ”

With Yang Feng's beat, the coffee table on the right suddenly scattered on the ground with a bang and turned into a pile of parts.

I saw Yang Feng say angrily: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you Dutch think about war, but for our Ming Dynasty, war is a very serious and serious thing, since you have opened fire on the Ming fleet in my Ming Dynasty's territory, it shows your attitude, since you have the courage to start a war and suffer the consequences of the war, come on, ...... people."

"What does Uncle command?" With Yang Feng's shouting, the two heavily armed family members standing outside the door immediately walked in from outside the door and gave Yang Feng a military salute.

Yang Feng pointed at Ang Kesi and said, "Take him out for me!" ”

"Yes!" The two housekeepers answered loudly, and walked over and grabbed Onkos by the arm to take him away.

Seeing this, Ang Kesi thought that Yang Feng was going to order his execution, and he was so frightened that his face turned pale and struggled desperately, and while struggling, he said loudly: "Lord Earl...... You can't kill me, the Admiral said when I surrendered that you would keep our lives and private property safe, and you can't break the agreement! ”

"Kill you?" Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily and funny: "You think too much, I won't kill you, but you will pay the price for your actions, and from now on you will work in the mine for ten years." ”

"What...... Ten years in the mines? ”

Hearing this, Onkos struggled even harder, and others didn't know him, didn't they know? In the colony, to work absenteeism means stepping into the ghost gate, the harsh environment and high-intensity work of the mine are not very many people can survive, ordinary people can live for three years at most, and it is great to be able to survive for five years, if it is really like Yang Feng said that let him work in the mine for ten years, I am afraid that his bones will rot by that time.

What the...... How do you say Encos knows? It's simple, because that's what the Dutch themselves did, and Ankos doesn't think the Ming mines are much better than theirs.

"Your Excellency, don't send me the mine, I have something important to report to you, I have something important to tell you!"

Looking at Ang Kesi, who was struggling desperately, Yang Feng waved his hand and said to the two family members: "Wait, let him come over." ”

Ang Kes, who was let go of his hand by the two family members, collapsed on the ground as if he had escaped from the ghost gate, panting heavily, and after a while, Yang Feng said coldly: "What you say had better be of interest to me, otherwise I don't mind letting you know the consequences of cheating on me." ”

Frightened, Ankos waved his hand again and again: "Your Excellency, I will never dare to deceive you, I will tell you everything." The reason why I went to Macao with Lieutenant Colonel Onkos this time was that I was entrusted by Zheng Zhilong to mediate the conflict between him and the Portuguese......

Ang Kos told him the deal between him and Zheng Zhilong, and even the fact that he was ordered to give Zheng Zhilong twelve warships and sixty guns was all told like beans.

Yang Feng listened to Angkos's words, although the expression on his face did not change, but he was greatly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to collude with the Dutch so deeply. After pondering for a while, he stared at Angos and asked solemnly: "You tell me honestly now, why do you support Zheng Zhilong at such a large cost, and even go to Macau to put pressure on the Portuguese in person for him?" Don't tell me, it's because you Dutch people are bodhisattvas. ”

Although Angkos didn't understand what a bodhisattva's heart was, he also knew that it was definitely not a good word, but he couldn't say it for a while.

Seeing Angkos's hesitant look, Yang Feng suddenly shouted angrily: "Say! ”

"I ...... I'm ......."

Ang Kos almost collapsed to the ground again, he was already frightened and finally the Netherlands intended to fully invade the Ming Dynasty, so they chose Zheng Zhilong as their spokesperson in the Ming Dynasty, so that Zheng Zhilong would play the vanguard when invading the Ming Dynasty in the future, implement the policy of using China to control China, and seize greater benefits for the Netherlands.

Hearing this, Yang Feng was angry and funny in his heart, the ambition of the Dutch is really not small, and they are not stupid, they actually came up with a way to control China with China, but they are too naΓ―ve, the Dutch think that with 20,000 or 30,000 troops and Zheng Zhilong, who sees the wind and rudder, they can conquer Daming, they also underestimate Daming, right?

As he spoke, Ang Kesi secretly looked at Yang Feng's face, but what disappointed him was that Yang Feng's face had always been calm and did not fluctuate, allowing him to see that Yang Feng's idea was in vain.

It wasn't until Ang Kesi almost told him about peeking at the aunt next door taking a bath when he was ten years old and sleeping with the village flower of the neighboring village when he was thirteen years old, and his mouth was dry, Yang Feng nodded, "Okay, let's do this for the time being, you go back to the prisoner of war camp first, and I will send someone to call you if there is something." ”

With a flattering smile, Onkos said, "Your Excellency, you see that I have told you everything I know, can you put us back?" Of course, according to the rules we will pay you the gold. ”

"You want to redeem yourself?" Yang Feng's face showed a smile that seemed to be a smile.

"Yes, this is the rule of our Obaros for hundreds of years, and I hope you will allow us to redeem ourselves."

Yang Feng didn't seem to see the expectation in Angkos's eyes: "No, at least not yet, I still have some things that I haven't thought about, and I'll tell you my decision after I think about it." ”

After Jiading brought Ankos back, Yang Feng pondered. To tell the truth, he looked at the Dutch's plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty with a joke attitude, after all, the Dutch are thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and the population is only one million, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to conquer a country with a population of hundreds of millions across the ocean, not to mention the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, even the Yankees in the twenty-first century dare not boast that they can do it, the only thing that worries Yang Feng is that today's Western colonists have extended their tentacles to Southeast Asia, if the Ming Dynasty does not hurry up, I'm afraid that a hundred years later, the tragedy in another historical time and space will be repeated, when the Ming finally realized the importance of the ocean, only to find that the whole world has become a blond and blue-eyed Caucasian colony except for the Ming Dynasty, and at that time the Ming wants to catch up, I don't know how much effort and sacrifice it will take.
