"For the sake of the safety of our industries and personnel in the Penghu area, and in order to completely put an end to the remnants of the pirate gang Shibazhi remaining in the Fujian Strait to continue to do evil, our fleet will conduct irregular military training and maritime patrols in the waters near Penghu. We hope that your training and patrols will not be directed at anyone else, including the East India Company, and will not interfere with the normal operation of the port of Dayuan, and we hope that you will not be overly concerned about this, and this passing through the port of Dayuan is just an ordinary sea cruise. ”

Qian Tiandun's "briefing" made Philip dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that the Haihan people would explain the naked military threat in front of him as a reasonable action with such a high-sounding reason. Nearly ten Haihan warships lined up on the sea about two nautical miles away from Dayuan Port, a picture of eagerness to try, Qian Tiandun actually called it "passing by" lightly, which really refreshed Philip's three views.

"Dear sir, I wonder how long it will take your fleet to completely 'pass through' the local port?" Of course, Philip didn't dare to open his mouth to reprimand Qian Tiandun in the current environment, so he could only ask in a tactful tone.

Qian Tiandun smiled and said, "This is our military secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it." In fact, our maritime patrols are also beneficial to the safety of Dayuan Port, isn't it? With the protection of the Haihan fleet here, there will be no pirates in the surrounding waters, and this is also a good thing for maritime merchants who come to Dayuan Port to trade. ”

Philip said in his heart that your fleet is outside Dayuan Port, everyone thinks that this is a posture to start a war, and the maritime merchants who heard the wind are only afraid that they will not come to Dayuan Port again in the next few months, this kind of behavior is malicious harassment, what kind of protection! As for the pirates, since the withdrawal of the Eighteen Zhi from the strait, there has been no large number of pirates in the hundreds of nautical miles, and how can the sporadic pirates dare to go wild on the territory of the Dutch, even if the Dutch can't kill the Haihan militia, but it is more than enough to clean up the pirates in the Far East.

But as for the true nature of this matter, Philip knew that it would be useless for him to argue with the other party even if he reluctantly argued, after all, the other party came with the purpose of coercing the commander to surrender, and if he could withdraw his troops by reasoning alone, then why should he still build the Fort of Geranza here. Although Philip was unwilling, he could only respond in a low voice: "Actually, the conditions of the last negotiation with you have been reported to Lord Hans, but this ↘dǐng↘diǎn↘ small ↘ story, .2∷3.$os_(); It will take some time to make a decision. ”

Philip's statement finally reached the point of diǎn, and Qian Tiandun asked, "I believe your statement, and I also believe that the East India Company is indeed sincere in reaching the deal with us that was previously negotiated." However, everyone's time is precious, and it would be nice if you could give us an answer. I think something like this big...... Shouldn't a day of making a decision be enough?"

The twist of Qian Tiandun's last sentence made Philip sit on the ground, and he originally thought that he could ask for at least ten days and a half month of consideration from the Haihan people, so that the Dayuangang side would have time to consider how to deal with the terms of the deal proposed by the Haihan side. But it is obvious that the Haihan people do not have such good patience at all, and they are not willing to even wait for the time to reply, but choose to directly lead the fleet to the door to reply. The method was simple and rude, which made Dayuangang suddenly confused, and he didn't know how to parry.

"One day is indeed too rushed, can you delay for a few days?" Philip was also very anxious, but after talking about it, he only found that his situation was becoming more and more passive, so that he could not communicate with the Haihan people with a more tough attitude.

Qian Tiandun coughed dryly and said, "However, our army did not arrange a multi-day trip this time, so we didn't bring much supplies." If you can provide supplies, then I can wait here for another day. Remember, only one more day. ”

Philip sneered, you shouldn't go back to Penghu if you don't bring enough supplies, if you don't go back to such a close place, you have to resupply in Dayuangang, isn't this a clear extortion?

However, Philip still squeezed a full smile on his face: "This is a good saying, after the contemptible people go back, they will have someone send a batch of supplies to your fleet." As for the time limit, I hope you will be more lenient. ”

Finally let the other party relent, and Philip didn't want to stay on the Haihan warship for a second, so he quickly said goodbye and disembarked, and returned to the port in a small boat rowed by the sailors.

Of course, Qian Tiandun did not really expect the soldiers to be able to coerce the Dutch immediately when they came to the city, if the pressure was too tight, the Dutch had no way to retreat, and they might eventually choose to resolve their differences by force, and the current Penghu base had just been put into operation, and Qian Tiandun did not want to start a war with the Dutch during this time period. Now that the other party had taken another step back, he also got off the donkey, and took advantage of the situation to relax with the ladder handed by Philip. Anyway, half of the purpose of this trip is indeed to conduct actual combat training at sea, and going around Dayuan Port to scare the Dutch is just an incidental act of hugging the grass and beating rabbits, and the effect is enough, and it is not really in a hurry to get things done in this time and a half.

"These Haihan people...... It's ...... Bastard...... "Hans, after listening to the report that Philippe brought back, was so angry that he couldn't even speak. I think that Zheng Zhilong's department had tens of thousands, but every time he came to Dayuangang to meet him, he was also careful with him, lest he offend himself. These Haihan people actually stared at each other like this, which he had never expected before. If it weren't for the fact that the current Dayuangang really didn't have the weapons to get his hands on, he really had the urge to directly order the war.

Of course, at least this temporary negotiation is not for nothing, at least we know the real purpose of the Haihan fleet to come here and the conditions for their withdrawal. Hans is not a fool, and he can naturally understand from Philippe's paraphrase that the Haihan side also does not intend to go to war, otherwise he would not have put forward conditions.

It took Hans a full five minutes to regain his composure, and then began to give orders: "Philip, I grant you temporary permission to immediately organize a batch of supplies in the castle and hand them over to the Haihan people, so that they can stay one distance from the port!"

Philip trembled and pulled out a piece of paper: "This is the list of supplies that Haihan asked for......"

Hans took it and saw that the list had been re-labeled by a translator. To tell the truth, Haihan's supplies are not excessive, they are basically food, but they all require the freshest - meat, for example, must be lived, not slaughtered.

The following will be re-edited later to prevent theft

"For the sake of the safety of our industries and personnel in the Penghu area, and in order to completely put an end to the remnants of the pirate gang Shibazhi remaining in the Fujian Strait to continue to do evil, our fleet will conduct irregular military training and maritime patrols in the waters near Penghu.
