In the following days, Li Tianyang invited Ambassador Dimon to visit the entire Chicken Coop Harbor, and even introduced Father Felix to Envoy Dimon after hearing the news.

As Jesuit priests, Felix was an amiable group of people in the eyes of Europeans. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, where various religions flourished, the situation in Europe was almost dominated by the Jesuit family, although there would be various branches brought about by doctrine, but on the whole, the priests from the Holy See were still quite cordial in the eyes of many Europeans.

"Praise God, I did not expect to be bathed in the glory of my Lord in the far east, Amen!" After a sincere prayer in the church that had stood in the chicken coop harbor for several years, Dimon was pleasantly surprised to talk with Father Felix.

"All these things have been arranged by our Lord Jesus, and we have arranged for Master Li Tianyang, and with his help and permission, we can preach here unhindered and spread the glory of our Lord." Father Felix is also a rare person from the West, although the two are not from the same country, but the same skin color and common beliefs make him very affectionate to Dimon and others.

Of course, his kindness to Dimon and others also has a different meaning.

Although priests do not have nationality, priests who spread the glory of God have nationality. Although Father Felix came from the Holy See, to be honest, he had long been cared for by the Portuguese in Macau, and they were certainly willing to do something for the friendlier Portuguese without offending God.

The relationship between the Dutch and the Portuguese in the Far East is obvious to all, and although they have converted to the Jesuits, the priests are not saints who do not know what is going on outside the window.

Originally, when the Dutch attacked Chicken Coop Harbor, Father Felix and their husbands asked the Portuguese to fund a lot of arms and weapons and other materials to Li Tianyang in order to help Li Tianyang them, so that they could resist the invasion of the Dutch.

When Wu Daofu and the others returned to the port of the chicken coop with a large group of Dutch captives, Father Felix was not only happy for Li Tianyang and them, but also for the Portuguese, and from then on, the Portuguese had many fewer challenges.

Naturally, among the captives who were also Westerners, there were indispensable faithful believers who believed in Jesus, and with the addition of these Dutch Christians, the church in Joncoop Harbor would no longer be deserted, and finally it would be able to do lively worship and other activities.

But who would have thought that Li Tianyang's team, who thought they had made a bad deal with the Dutch, turned their faces and it had only been more than half a year, and it was rumored that they were going to stop fighting with the Dutch and establish a good cooperative relationship, which made Father Felix, who heard the news, stunned for a while.

The situation changed too quickly, before Gan Dabiao and they took ten Dutch captives to the south, went to Java to negotiate a truce and cooperation news, Li Tianyang has been keeping it secret from the outside world, although they were also quite friendly to the Dutch after that, but Father Felix They never thought that Li Tianyang and they could put aside such prejudice and hatred, and turn hostility with the Dutch.

By the time Father Felix and the others received the news, the Dutch ambassadors had already arrived in the chicken coop harbor to discuss with Li Tianyang and them the next exchange of prisoners, trade treaties and other matters.

On the other hand, in the past six months or so, the Portuguese have made some moves against Li Tianyang: urging Qixintang to pay the money they had previously purchased arms on credit, and using this as a threat to try to intervene in the chicken coop port, which is now gradually developing; Increase the price of arms sales, because at this time, in the East, those who are still willing to sell arms to Hongtang are the only ones left, the Portuguese, and so on.

The reason why the Portuguese dared to do such a thing was nothing more than that they thought that Li Tianyang's team at this time, after offending the Netherlands, another largest trading country in the Far East, could only purchase arms and other materials from the West from the Portuguese.

More importantly, as Hongtang gradually became stronger, the Portuguese gradually feared this partner, but also gave birth to a bit of delusion, thinking that they could extend their tentacles to the top of Li Tianyang's team, and use the advantages in their hands to influence and control Hongtang, a powerful violent organization, and work hard for them to dominate the Far East for the Portuguese.

However, it is obvious that the Portuguese underestimated Li Tianyang's ingenuity and underestimated Li Tianyang's open-mindedness, and at this time they didn't even know that the Dutch had come to make friends with Li Tianyang's ambassadors, and they had already come to Jilong Harbor for several days, and had almost negotiated with Li Tianyang about everything that would happen to each other next.

It was only Father Felix and them, who took advantage of their geographical advantages, to learn the news of the cooperation between the Bengang team and the Dutch. Therefore, for the sake of the Portuguese friends who were still in the dark from afar, Father Felix hurried over from Bengang to personally meet with Dimon and other Dutchmen, hoping to help the Portuguese find out some useful news.

It was a pleasure to meet with a priest from the Holy See in the far East to talk about the divine light of Jesus and listen to the teachings of God to his earthly walkers.

After greeting Dimon and the others, a black figure slipped out quietly at the back door of the Chicken Coop Harbor Church late at night, and then a carrier pigeon rose from the sky and flew to the western land.

However, far from the water could not quench the thirst, the carrier pigeons that flew from the chicken coop harbor to the Bengang arrived at the destination after half a day, and then from the Bengang dock, a supply ship belonging to their Jesuit Society hurriedly set off and headed in the northwest direction, and the delay time on the road for a few days was already enough for Li Tianyang and Dimon to negotiate everything.

By the time the members of the Portuguese and Macao Councils learned of the news and were shocked, Dimon and the others, who had arrived from the distant Dutch colony in Java, were already ready, exchanged prisoners with Li Tianyang and them, and were preparing to take nine Dutch ships and set off in the direction of home.

Luke's stronghold built by them for half a year of hard work was finally given up by them, and they didn't wait for Li Tianyang to send someone to hand over, and the seven Dutch sailors who had been adrift in the Daming Sea for more than half a year happily took care of their bags, and after receiving Lai Qichen, Lei Yousheng and other officials and sailors who had not been seen for more than half a year in Jilong Harbor, they set off and returned under the leadership of Dimon.
