822 Fragile trust

At noon, the Dutch envoy arrived in the town of Min'an. For Daming's food, the Dutch envoy who was stuck on the wild island had been lovesick for a long time, no, he immediately went to the largest restaurant in the town to relieve his cravings.

There was no shortage of money, and for the sake of safety, the Dutch envoy Abbiger and his five guards all went into the private room to dine. The accompanying Ming officials dined next door and ate their own food.

While eating, Abig suddenly heard the words "pirates" from the private room next door, and couldn't help but become curious, so he motioned for his companions to cover, and he eavesdropped.

Among the Dutch, he understands the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although his position was not high, he was sent as an envoy to communicate with the governor's office.

"Sun Zhongcheng can be described as iron-blooded and ruthless, and he is ruthless to any pirate. This time, in order to deal with Xu Xiang's gang of pirates, he actually sent such a high civil official to participate in politics, and two generals went to Xu Xiang's lair, it is thrilling to think about, if you can't escape, our Ming will suffer heavy losses! ”

"yes, when I heard that, I was shocked. It is said that Xu Xiang's pirates didn't agree to appease them, they just went to negotiate, and they sent so many adults over, which was really scary! ”

“……”

Ai Bige was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of Mingguo, the governor of Fujian. You know, if you just go to negotiate, it's not too late to send someone from the government to go, at least to negotiate sincerity first and then send high-ranking officials, right? It seems that this Fujian governor is really not an ordinary person!

With that in mind, he continued to listen.

"But what is even more unexpected is that Sun Zhongcheng sent so many adults to negotiate, but he had already expected that the Xu Xiang pirates would not be recruited, so he secretly sent troops to ambush, and sure enough, he was caught and defeated the Xu Xiang pirates."

"yes, that's a big win! It is said that Sun Zhongcheng hated pirates to the core, and most of those pirates who were caught were beheaded and hung on the shore to be shocked! ”

"This is not strange, think about it, after Sun Zhongcheng took office, how many bandits and pirates have he killed? It can even be said that Sun Zhongcheng is much more powerful than the previous Nan Zhongcheng, as long as he can catch those thieves, he is willing to use any means! ”

“……”

Hearing this, Ai Bige couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, they had suffered a big loss at the hands of Nan Juyi, the former governor of Fujian. I think that at the beginning, Nan Juyi was also very cunning, and lied to the Netherlands that they wanted to negotiate and could trade, but the delegation went ashore to negotiate with him, and he was all arrested at the banquet, and the two warships sent were also attacked, and no one could escape back.

This new Fujian governor Sun Chuanting actually hates pirates more than Nan Juyi, and he is so unscrupulous, should he still be lying to his side this time?

Thinking about it like this, he immediately remembered that a few years ago, Sun Chuanting sent someone to the door, saying that the Portuguese had gone to transport grain for them, and if the Netherlands did not transport grain, they would send heavy troops to exterminate it; Then he said that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, as long as the grain was transported and the laws of the Ming Dynasty were obeyed, the trade would be bright and bright. Now that I think about it, this ...... Isn't this coercion and temptation?

Thinking of this, Ai Bige didn't know why in her heart, she suddenly lost her confidence, and she felt a little bad.

"You don't know, Sun Zhongcheng has actually planned to deal with these Hongyi for a long time, and it is said that the battle plan on the Taiwan side has been drawn up, just waiting for the Zheng family sailor to come back."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard."

Hearing that someone from the private room next door seemed to be coming to check on him, Ebi quickly sat back down and pretended to eat and drink with his companions. After waiting for a while, sure enough, someone from the official mansion, the official surnamed Kang who accompanied him, came over and asked when he could leave, don't let Sun Zhongcheng wait in a hurry, otherwise everyone will be in trouble.

"Right now, right away!" Ai Bige hurriedly replied, "Your country's food is so delicious, we will hit the road when we are full." ”

Seeing the official surnamed Kang go back, Abig gestured again to let his companion continue to cover, and he went to listen to the corner again.

"Those Hongyi are really a group of barbarians, it's just a restaurant in the town, they just eat and drink nonsense, it's really useless, don't care about them, it looks like they have to eat for a lot of time."

"Hehe, how can our Ming be compared to those barbarian countries, or how to say that they came to us thousands of miles away, and they still want to rob our Daming, right?"

“……”

Abi Ge's face was gloomy, and he heard the people in the government next door talking about Dutch jokes, and he could feel that these people in the government looked down on them at all. But in order to listen to more useful information, he had to suppress his temper and continue to listen.

"But speaking of which, the force of these Hongyi is really strong, which makes Sun Zhongcheng a little jealous, otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard!"

"What do you say? The fear is true, otherwise why not let those warships of Hongyi dock? ”

"Don't you know, Sun Zhongcheng's number one henchman, General Liu Shen, who has just made a great achievement, has already led his elite to Changle, looking like that, it's like going to fight, I don't know if it's true?"

"What, and this? I didn't meet it on the road! ”

"Stupid, this road is the road next door to those Hongyi to Fuzhou, how can Liu Shenjiang go this way!"

"What do you mean, it can't be to deal with those Hongyi, right?"

"I don't know, what does Sun Zhongcheng think, how do I know?"

“……”

Hearing this, Abigor couldn't listen anymore. Thinking of his dealings with Ming Guo over the years, he was scared in his heart. Could it be that this Sun Chuanting, like the previous Nan Juyi, is also a person who has no faith in his word, and clearly asked his side to help him bring food, and then turned his face ruthlessly?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible!

After listening to it for a while, he couldn't listen anymore, and felt that he would be in great danger if he went to the governor's mansion. Not only himself, but also the fleet in Taiping Port is also in danger. He gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.

whispered to his companion, and then pretended to be happy, and called Xiao Er again, and asked them to add wine and food to the next door, to thank them for their company. Then he then urinated and galloped back to Taiping Port.

What he didn't know was that almost at the same time, a bow ship approached the Dutch warship, and a Ming man came on board to communicate with the Dutch, and it took a long time to leave. Then, these Dutch warships also moved, made a defensive posture, approached Taiping Port, and at the same time sent people to the grain ship, trying to make the grain ship sail away from the port, but the Ming army watched and was stopped.

Because of the past history, the trust between the two sides is like a thin piece of paper, which will be broken when touched.
