He Bin didn't want to go, and his intuition told him that this negotiation was not so simple, and He Bin was the only one present who was forced to go.

There is no way who makes the fat translator only He Bin, in Liu Hongji's words, if you don't go to hell, you will go to hell.

The next morning, Liu Hongjian and his entourage took a bird boat and rushed to the pre-designated negotiation site, an unnamed island thirty miles west of the Palawan Sea.

However, from today onwards, the island has a name, and Liu Hong gradually named it Sanguang Island.

Because there are no animals, no plants, and no food on this island, it is about two miles long and less than one mile wide, except for the sand on the beach, the whole island is a stone island.

One of the reasons why I chose this island is that it is bare and not big, and there is no way for the Dutch to make it boring, of course, Liu Hongjian himself is fearless.

It wasn't long before a small boat arrived from the direction of Palawan Islands on the east side of the island, with the Dutch tricolor flying on it.

Rear Admiral Jon, the Dutch governor in Batavia, was in his forties, dressed in a sky-blue tuxedo, pale yellow trousers, a tricorne hat studded with the captain's logo, and long boots.

"I didn't expect the Admiral of the Great Ming Water Master to be so young, I'm glad to meet you, Your Excellency Liu Hongchuan." Jon took off his hat and saluted humbly.

"Oh? Is it? You're still happy, maybe Admiral Ben didn't hurt your fleet enough yesterday, I'm sorry! Liu Hongjian made an apologetic expression and said.

Before the interpreter on the Dutch side translated Liu Hongji's words to Jon, Jon thought that Liu Hongjian was also humbly greeting him, and then he smiled and waved his hand, meaning that there was no need to be so polite.

He Bin stood aside and curled his beard, the arrogance of the prince in his heart was really something he had only seen in his life, but at the same time, he was worried about his personal safety.

He clearly saw that the three foreign vassal people following behind the Dutch were not good at stubble, and he saw that his waist was bulging, so he must be tired.

God is pitiful, before leaving, he deliberately observed the outfits of Niu Zhuang and several people, it was a real one who didn't bring anything, and he couldn't figure out why the prince, who had always been despicable and shameless, was so honest.

He wanted to remind Liu Hongji, but he didn't have a chance at all, and Liu Hongji's tone was so arrogant, it was likely that he didn't take this negotiation seriously.

Oh, my God! Is the old man going to die here? This is a place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs?

Sure enough, Jon listened to the translation of the person behind him, and his face suddenly fell, but he frowned, and did not speak ill of Liu Hong.

He is also a person in his forties, how can he care about the gains and losses of words with a young man, his purpose is very clear, not to have a tongue with the Ming people.

"You're welcome, just sit down! Sit down and let's talk. Liu Hong gradually pointed to a stone four or five steps in front of him.

Of course, it was impossible for Liu Hongjian to sit on a stone himself, and according to his instructions, Kuoduan specially carried a Taishi chair from the boat, while Cui Geng gradually felt the parasol for Liu Hong, and stood behind Liu Hongjian with his hands crossed on his waist.

And He Bin stood on the other side of Liu Hongjian with fear, one shrunk and cowardly, the other arrogant and domineering, and the black and astringent will have a sense of déjà vu.

Jon didn't have Liu Hongji's style, but he didn't follow Liu Hongji's advice, how could the dignified governor of Batavia and the rear admiral of the Combined Fleet sit on a stone to negotiate with others, and sitting on a stone is obviously much lower than the Ming people.

Jon finally stood in front of Liu Hongjian against the sun, and his face became even darker.

"I myself express my extreme indignation at the unprovoked attack on the Dutch soldiers stationed in Taiwan, in my heart, the Ming Dynasty is a country that pays attention to etiquette, and your Excellency's behavior really impresses me with the Ming Dynasty."

Jon's tone was flat and there was a hint of sarcasm, it was obvious that he didn't understand the situation, or maybe he didn't understand what had happened to Daming in the last two years.

"Hahaha! Then you have to scratch your eyes a few more times, the Ming courtesy is only for the person who speaks the ceremony, and you can speak the etiquette in the Netherlands?

Have you ever spoken to the locals of all the filthy things you did in India, Chenla, Manchurianja, and Batavia?

What's more, you invaded my Ming territory first, how can you be a wicked person who sues first, don't you want to be embarrassed? Liu Hong replied with a smile.

Taiwan is the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, at least Liu Hongjian thinks so, and he sent troops to fight Ovat completely to defend territorial sovereignty.

"But as far as I know, Yiguan Zheng is also your enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and my Dutch Kingdom got rid of Yiguan Zheng for the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't your court thank us?" Jon didn't answer Liu Hongji, but chose to divert the topic.

"That's our Da Ming's family affair, you guys are really mother-in-law dogs and rats - nosy!" Liu Hong replied disdainfully.

The translator behind Jon frowned, not knowing if he was angry or didn't know how to translate the sentence at all.

"Let's open the skylight and say something, let's talk, what do you want to talk about?" Liu Hong gradually felt that it was boring to talk here, so he went straight to the point.

"We hope that Daming will return Taiwan to us and release Major General Owat, for which we are willing to pay a large ransom." Jon said seriously.

"Your Excellency, are you sure you are not joking? Daming is not short of money. Liu Hong couldn't hold back and laughed.

"We are willing to pay a ransom of two million guilders, if converted into Ming currency, it is equivalent to 240,000 taels of silver, please consider it." Jon swore by it.

The Ming court had been plagued by finances, and it was heard that the deficit had reached three times the tax revenue.

In recent years, Jon has been staying in Batavia, rarely asking about the trade with the Ming, and the trade with the Ming has always been the responsibility of Viscount Ovat, who is stationed in Taiwan.

He was angry when he thought of Ovat, he was incompetent and wanted him to wipe his ass, if he hadn't asked him to settle the matter of Taiwan, maybe he would have taken Sulu by now.

Damn it! Yiguan Zheng's son is even more difficult than Yiguan Zheng!

Burn the pen! Liu Hong gradually glanced at Jon and said in his heart.

"Don't think about it, Taiwan is originally Daming's, and there is no intention of handing it over, Owatt can give it to you, but the premise is that your Dutch country must immediately withdraw the fleet that attacked Sulu, for this reason, Daming can not blame your country's actions in the past." Liu Hong gradually said his price very calmly.

With a good conscience, Liu Honggradually came to negotiate with sincerity, otherwise he would not have come at all.

Da Ming is not strong enough, he doesn't want to tear his face with the Netherlands, if an Ovat can be exchanged for Sulu and Xiao Zheng, it will be a good deal.

"If Daming can return Taiwan to us, I think your proposal is good, and we are still willing to pay a ransom of two million dong." Jon insisted.

"Sand sculpture, see you later! Zhente Niang's waste of this king's time! Liu Hong gradually frowned, got up, and said vulgar words.

What's the matter, after a long time, I still want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, this was originally his specialty, and now I want to set him? Phew!

Ovat is worthless a dime, and since Taiwan has been recovered, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over again, and there is no reason for it, not even his brother Xiao Zheng.

What's more, isn't Xiao Zheng born for Taiwan?

Seeing that the matter was not settled, Jon turned his head and glanced at his subordinates, and the three Dutch soldiers immediately touched their hands to their waists.

"Believe it or not, I can make you see your own brain in a second?" Liu Honggradually seemed to have eyes behind him, and suddenly turned his head to Jon and said.
