Chapter 713: Wai Wei to save Zhao
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief.
The He Bin in front of him is really too suspicious, he doesn't know this person, and he hasn't heard his subordinates say that anyone knows him, so he dares to come to the official family with such an important thing?
According to Liu Hongji's guess, this guy is for money, otherwise he can't think of other reasons.
If it's for the money, if you can recover the Ryukyus with silver, Liu Hong can wake up with a smile in his dreams, the question is where did this picture come from?
There are also those European Lingbao defense maps, whether they are true or not, this thing is so secret, how can it be obtained by him?
"Returning to the prince, this map is made by a friend who is good at drawing, as for the deployment of Lingbao, with all due respect, the contemptible people know everything about the city of Nareransha and the city of Puluominsha!" He Bin stroked a few sparse goats and said in a positive color.
According to He Bin, he was originally a minister under the Dutch in the Ryukyus, and to put it bluntly, he was a translator.
Specializing in the contact between the Dutch merchant ship and the Ming Dynasty, and because of his good speech and communication, he gradually came into contact with the high-level Dutch garrison in the Ryukyus, and went through five Ryukyu governors, until he followed the current Ryukyu governor Ovat.
But as a Ming man, he knew very well what kind of life the Ming people of Ryukyu lived, the Dutch oppressed the Ming people, let them do the heaviest work on the whole island, and also deducted wages, and immediately suppressed them bloodily as soon as they resisted.
He Bin saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, he was also a descendant of Yanhuang, a descendant of China, he really couldn't bear to live a good life, but his compatriots were in dire straits.
So he used his power to give preferential treatment to the people of the Ryukyus, such as bribing the men to feed the working people, such as often giving silver taels to his compatriots who could not eat.
All of these were too numerous to mention, and later He Bin's behavior aroused the suspicion of the Ryukyu Governor Ovat, who wanted to get rid of him as a black sheep.
He Bin was desperate and fled to Zhangzhou Mansion in Fujian Province by boat overnight, and thanked those suffering compatriots, so he simply did not do anything, and spent a lot of money to ask someone to draw this defense map according to his memory in the two Lingbao castles.
He had gone to the prefect of Zhangzhou but was not taken seriously, and later heard the news that the Beiyang Navy Division was coming to Quanzhou, so he hurriedly came with a mission to ask for a meeting.
"So, you're a patriot?" Liu Hong's brows furrowed after hearing this.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" He Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly said modestly, but his expression betrayed him.
"Who do you think is more of a fool?" Liu Hong gradually stared at He Bin with burning eyes, and said very playfully.
"This ...... This ......" He Bin was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to reply.
"This king will give you one last chance, if you don't tell the truth, hehe, then go to the Jinyi Guard." Liu Hong said calmly.
He Bin's story doesn't sound flawed, but it is precisely because of this that Liu Hong's heart is drumming.
If, as he said, he has always been in the top level of the Ryukyus, then no matter how bad the Dutch is, after all, people have raised you for more than ten years and given you a rich life, and you will betray the old master because they bullied the common people of the Ming Dynasty?
People didn't bully you, why do you have such a high consciousness? Do you have nine years of compulsory education?
Then again, if you really have such a high level of consciousness, how can you go and be a dog leg for the Dutchman.
There are more people who have been bullied in Daming, and I haven't seen anyone do anything, everyone is alone, and everything will be fine if you don't bully others.
In fact, that's exactly what happened.
This He Bin has indeed been following the Dutch to do things, and he is indeed very trusted by the current Dutch Governor in the Ryukyus, Owat.
But He Bin's sympathy for the people of the Ryukyus and helping the people of the Ryukyus to deal with the Dutch is nonsense.
This guy is a businessman, a failed businessman to be exact, the kind who does anything to lose money, and after the last bankruptcy he followed the Dutch as an interpreter.
After staying in the Ryukyus for a long time, he found that the Dutch trusted him very much, including foreign merchants who traded with the Dutch, and often handed him over to keep an eye on him.
This is a fat gap, you must know that trade with foreign countries is to find a middleman to re-weigh the scales, after all, the buyer and the seller do not trust each other's claims, in the words of later generations, it is a fair scale.
This was an indispensable errand in ancient foreign trade, and Xiao Zheng's father Zheng Zhilong once did this job.
He Bin used his power to bribe the man in charge of this fair scale, and partnered with him to trap the Dutch, and both of them made a fortune.
But then something bad happened, the greed of the scale was insufficient, and he secretly ate alone by himself, which led to the revelation of the matter, and he was arrested by the Dutch on the spot.
He Bin saw that after finishing the calf, he went home to pack up the soft and fled the Ryukyus alone that night, and he didn't even care about his family and took it away.
It's not that he doesn't want to take it, his residence is surrounded by Dutch, and it's okay to go out alone, and the one who drags the family with the mouth will be served in a pot.
As soon as he arrived in Zhangzhou, he learned the news that his home had indeed been raided by the Dutch, and his wife and children were also locked up.
After he was safe, He Bin began to worry about his wife and children again, but he had no soldiers and no rights, except for the tickets he carried, what could he do to save his wife and children?
So here we are.
He originally thought that he could save his wife and children by relying on this picture, and by the way, he would have another errand and ask for some money, but the prefect of Zhangzhou refused to see him at all.
Fortunately, silver can make grinding ghosts, and the prefect of Quanzhou took him to see the most powerful prince of the Ming Dynasty.
I heard that this prince is still very young, and he still wants to fool around, but looking at this formation, especially the cold eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, He Bin feels as if he is transparent.
"Lord forgive your sins! The little one actually just wants to save his family, but this defense map is indeed true, if it is fake, but it is up to the prince to dispose of it! He Bin finally didn't hold on, and fell to his knees with a thud.
And then 1510 will talk back and forth, buried in the ground and never dare to look up, although he has lived in Ryukyu for a long time, but he has heard of the name of Jinyiwei.
"Hahahaha! You're such a talented person! Liu Hong gradually saw the authenticity of this map, and his heart was secretly refreshed.
He also inquired and learned that in order to deal with the Zheng family, the Dutch transferred all the warships in the Ryukyus, and at present there were only 6,000 Dutch troops in the Ryukyus, not only did they have no ships, but many of the soldiers were transferred from several other colonial points.
A once-in-a-lifetime good time, why did you let him meet, Made, if you don't come to Wei to save Zhao, I'm sorry for the military books he has read these days, Liu Hongjian said secretly in his heart.
PS: He Bin, a native of Nan'an, Fujian, Zheng Chenggong relied on He Bin's Lingbao defense map and the Taiwan Strait waterway map to recover Taiwan, but it was 14 years later.
Regarding He Bin and his person, some people say that he is a patriotic hero, but Han Han believes that this is not really patriotic, and the main reason is for his own interests, and the nature of patriotism is passive.
This is the same as whether Wei Zhongxian is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian framed the Donglin Party because of his power, which indirectly extended the life of the Ming Dynasty, but can you say that he is patriotic?
Personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.
