And this time it was Xu Xinsu's subordinates who came to Dayuangang under the instruction of Xu Xinsu, but now Xu Xinsu is no longer the commander of the Fujian official army, because Xu Xinsu was forced to follow Yu Shigao to attack Nanri Island, and was captured alive by the sea wolf in the battle of Nanri Island.

Originally, many people of the sea wolf mentioned that they wanted to kill Xu Xinsu, but they were stopped by Yu Xiaotian, Xu Xinsu completely regretted it until this time, and immediately said that he was willing to submit to Yu Xiaotian, and did things for Yu Xiaotian in the future, including his family business and land business, and was also willing to serve Yu Xiaotian.

So Yu Xiaotian left Xu Xinsu's life, and now Xu Xinsu has been arranged by Yu Xiaotian to work in the council hall and has become one of Yu Xiaotian's subordinates.

This time, he sent his former subordinates to Dayuangang, in fact, Yu Xiaotian deliberately informed the Dutch of the general information about the outside world in advance, and they were like a stuffy gourd, completely ignorant of what was going on in the outside world.

When he saw Xu Xinsu's men, Peter was very excited, and quickly asked them about the outside world.

Xu Xinsu's subordinates did not hide it, and told Peter in detail the general situation of the conflict between the sea wolf and the government.

In addition, they told Peter the shocking news that they had heard that the Dutch fleet led by Waite had now been completely wiped out by the sea wolves, and it was impossible to return to the Commander.

Hearing the news, Peter almost fainted, these days, he waited for Waite's fleet to come, and waited for them to come, in fact, Peter had already prepared some thoughts, he had already thought about the worst case scenario he could think of.

He also guessed that Waite may have suffered a defeat in the battle with the sea wolf, but he never thought that Waite would be wiped out by the sea wolf, he has been guessing that Waite is likely to be defeated by the sea wolf and then pursued by the sea wolf's fleet, so that he can't and dare not return to the big man, he should have fled directly back to Batavia.

And Batavia to Dayuan, it takes half a year to go back and forth, and it will take more than three months at the earliest, and it is estimated that the news has not yet arrived, or it is impossible to break through the blockade of the sea wolf and reach Dayuan.

But he never thought that Xu Xinsu's people would bring him such a news that Wet's fleet was wiped out by the sea wolf.

For this news, Peter couldn't believe it, and shook his head again and again and said that it was impossible, although Waite might fail, but it was impossible for the sea wolf to kill all the seven large plywood boats he brought him, and he couldn't run if he couldn't run.

What's more, it was seven ships, not one, as a member of the navy, of course, he knew very well the power of these seven ships, so that seven warships, loaded with artillery, including the sailors on the ship, sometimes what can destroy a small country, no matter how powerful the sea wolf is, how can it be possible to destroy them all?

So Peter shook his head again and again, refusing to believe that this was true, and the people who came to report the news did not explain much about Peter's reaction, anyway, the order they received was just to bring the news over, and even Xu Xinsu had now voted for the sea wolf, and he did not tell Peter.

Next, someone told Peter about the battle of Nanri Island and the battle of Weitouwan fought by the sea wolf in Fujian, and as for whether Peter believed it or not, he didn't care.

After Peter had sent off the ship, he returned to his office, sat down in his chair, and for a little day did not say a word, but sat on the chair like a clay sculpture, without a trace of life.

It was not until it was getting dark, and the servant came to light the candlestick for him, that Peter suddenly moved, took up a piece of letterhead, drew the quill from the inkwell, and began to write on the desk, writing several pages of letter paper with great enthusiasm.

When he had finished writing, he looked at it again, folded it and put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, put a stamp on it with his ring, beckoned the servant to come, and sent the servant to call the captain of the clipper in the port of O'Yuan.

In the second half of the night, a boat did not have any lights at all, under the tow of several rowboats, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly sailed out of Dayuan Harbor, after leaving the port, the rowing boat took off the towing cable, the sailors on this boat, immediately began to hang up the sails, after eating the wind, immediately began to adjust the course, in the dark night, hurried towards the south.

After all, it was night, and their actions were not discovered, including a sea wolf's sentinel ship on the nearby sea, and it was not found, so he slipped out of Dayuan Harbor and sailed to the wide waters of the south, once he entered the wide waters, it was basically impossible to intercept this boat at night.

In February, the port finally welcomed a second ship into the harbor, but this time the ship that entered the harbor was only a sampan, which was lowered from a large ship flying the sea wolf flag outside the harbor, and the sailors on board rowed hard to operate the small boat into the harbor.

The Dutchmen on duty in the harbor saw the boat, but did not intercept it, because it was clearly not a hostile attack on the port, but must have come here as a messenger, so they did not fire or intercept it, and just let the sampan into the harbor.

After a while, a Dutchman's speedboat, also under the paddle of the sailor, stopped the sampan in the harbor, and there was a man on the sampan who spoke fluent Dutch, and it turned out that this person was a Chinese interpreter that Waite had brought with him when he left the army, and after a short exchange, this interpreter came up to the Dutchman's speedboat, and the seawolf sailor immediately rowed the sampan and returned to the sea.

Peter looked at the letter in his hand, and when he had read it, he sat down in his chair again, the paper fell on the table, he held his head with both hands, and his ten fingers were inserted into his hair, and he grabbed his hair hard, and after a while, he smashed his fist on the table in anger, startling the attendants in the room and the interpreter who came back to deliver the letter.

"Prepare, I'm going to go to Tamsui City myself!" After slamming his fist on the table, Peter's anger and fear seemed to be vented a lot, and the man began to calm down, and opened his mouth to command the attendant.

When the attendants began to prepare as he had commanded, Peter smiled wryly, leaned back in his chair again, and muttered, "I have a headache!" It seems that this time this big guy can't stay anymore! It's a pity! It was not easy to gain a foothold in this place, and the efforts of the past few years have been in vain, I don't know how the company's senior executives will react this time, will they concentrate their forces to fight this sea wolf again? ”

A few days later, the only medium-sized Galen ship left the port of Dayuan, when two ships of the sea wolves immediately sailed towards the Dutch ship, blocking its way.

Although the two ships of the sea wolves looked so small in front of this medium-sized Galen ship, the Dutch people could no longer feel a little disdainful when they saw these ships flying the sea wolf flag, on the contrary, they felt cold and nervous, even if their ships could easily crush the small boats of these sea wolves blocking the way, but no one dared to do so.

The Dutchman's ship immediately slowed down, and without opening any of its guns, made the slightest gesture of hostility, and allowed the two sea wolf ships to come closer, shouting at them and asking them what they were going to do.

A flash of anger flashed in Peter's eyes, but he still resisted his anger and told the man on the ship who was on board to tell the man on the ship of the two sea wolves the purpose of their trip.

After hearing that the ship was going to Tamsui City to negotiate with their boss, the two sea wolf ships did not continue to stop it, but ordered the Dutch to follow them and sail to Tamsui City, which was almost like an escort.

But even so, the Dutch did not express any dissatisfaction, and honestly agreed to the request of the sea wolf tribe, and one sea wolf's ship remained to continue to monitor the port of Dayuan, while the other boat accompanied Peter's ship, adjusted its course, and began to sail to Tamsui City.

Suddenly there was a burst of cannon sound outside the mouth of the Tamsui River, and the sea wolf troops in the fort rushed to their respective gun positions when they heard the sound, and under the officer's order, they began to operate their cannons nervously, and some people secretly scolded that it was the thing that didn't open their eyes, and they dared to come to the trouble of the sea wolf, and see if Lao Tzu didn't beat him into scum!

But the observer suddenly turned and shouted to his comrades in the battery: "Don't load! It's the ship of the red-haired people, and they're not attacking us, they're firing a salute! ”

Although the cannon rumbled outside, not a single cannonball fell from the seawolf's fortification, and there was no splash on the sea, so the observer immediately judged that the red-haired man's ship was not attacking them, but using their etiquette to show their respect to the seawolf.

So the officer in the fort immediately lifted the battle alert and muttered: "If you are full, scare Lao Tzu!" What are you looking at? The big boss said that for the salute, we have to return the salute, load the medicine bag, don't load the shell, let's also shoot a few shots! ”

So several forts at the mouth of the river also fired a few salutes, and there was no conflict between the two sides, after all, next to the ship of the red-haired man, there was also a sea wolf patrol boat, with it, naturally there was no misunderstanding.

Peter's boat did not sail directly into the Tamsui River, but stopped outside the Tamsui estuary, obviously he was a little worried about the safety of his boat, for fear of sailing into the Tamsui River, once the talk collapsed, the sea wolf would block the mouth of the river and detain his boat, this is the only large ship he can use at the moment, the few boats left in Dayuan Harbor are some speedboats, and they can't sail to Batavia independently.

If he talks about collapse here, the ship will still have a chance to escape back to Batavia, and now the company's strength in the Far East has been weakened a lot because of Waite's defeat, and it is better to keep a ship.

So here, Peter ordered his men on the ship to be vigilant, and if they found that something was wrong, they left him alone, and sailed away from here and fled to Batavia.

And he himself, with a dozen soldiers and attendants, lowered a rowboat from the boat, unloaded some boxes from the boat, rowed by manpower, sailed into the mouth of the Tamsui River, and headed for Tamsui City.

(It's not bad, this time my son got better relatively quickly, and in a week, he can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon!) Go pick up my son and take him home now! Self-praise, this week actually held on, did not break the shift, or maintain two shifts a day, rare! Hehe! ）
