These evidences were prepared by Zheng Zhilong. Of course, these evidences were not for the Dutch, but for Britain and France. He pretended to have a serious expression, stood up slowly, took out an account book-like thing from one of the boxes, held it up, raised it, and introduced it as if it were true: "This is a list of losses reported by all the robbed Ming merchants."

After saying that, he put the account book in his hand on the conference table, took out a similar account book from another box, raised it up, and Yang Yang, introducing: "This is a list of stolen goods found on the Dutch merchant ship."

After saying that, he placed the two notebooks side by side, and then he poured out all the things in the two boxes, such as iron sheets, copper sheets, paper sheets, cloth strips, etc., all kinds of things, and he picked up one of them and said solemnly: "These are all found from the goods of Dutch merchant ships, and they are all unique signs of our Ming merchants. According to our verification, although the stolen goods found on the Dutch merchant ships are of a certain difference in quantity and the types of goods that the Ming merchants were robbed, they are almost exactly the same. What is your explanation?"

After listening to the translated retelling, the British and French representatives showed a puzzled expression. It seemed that the governor of the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Empire was not so unreasonable. He seemed to be angry at Fan Mendy and did not make any unreasonable actions against them. Is there really a hidden truth in this?

Fan Mendi is crazy to the sky now. He didn't pay attention to the expressions of the British and French representatives at all. Instead, he said to Zheng Zhilong contemptuously: "What can these things represent? If you want to forge them, I can also forge a bunch of them."

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be angry and said, "These are all found from your cargo by my soldiers in front of your crew."

Fan Mendi argued: "Who knows if it is true? The cargo ship has been detained by you for more than ten days, and you have more chances to do anything."

Zheng Zhilong seemed to have been humiliated, and asked coldly with a stern face: "I heard from your tone, you don't admit that you have collusion with the pirates, right?"

Fan Mendy said proudly: "Of course, our East India Company is a regular company, why should we collude with pirates?"

Well, the real performance time has come, Zheng Zhilong showed a determined expression and said to the British and French representatives with pain: "Everyone, do you know what I did before?"

These British and French representatives have never been to the Ming Dynasty, or even Dongfan. How did they know what Zheng Zhilong did in the past? However, most of their translators know that because Zheng Zhilong can be said to be a translator and a leader in the translation industry. Many people who were engaged in the translation industry at that time had heard of him. So when these translators retelled, most of them said: "This Nicholas was a Dutch translator. After some unknown reason, he became a pirate for a while and finally surrendered to the Ming Empire and became the prince of the Ming Empire."

Zheng Zhilong didn't care what the translators were saying. He pretended to be incredibly looking back on the past and said painfully: "You may not understand why I am so good in Dutch, but I can actually talk to Governor Van Mendi. Tell you that I used to be the translator under Song Ke, the chief of the Dutch in Formosa. Originally, Song Ke asked me to be a pirate, and helped me organize many people, give us weapons, warships, and let us rob the Spanish, Portuguese and even the Ming Dynasty merchants. His purpose was to make no other people do business. Their East India Company wanted to monopolize the entire Japanese and even the Ming Dynasty market. In the end, I helped them do it, but I was condemned by my conscience, so I finally chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, Zheng Zhilong seemed to be in a state of madness, pointed at Fan Mendy and shouted: "It is indeed true that he said that they did not collude with pirates, because pirates were raised by them, and I was once the pirates they raised."

After listening to the translation's retelling, the British and French representatives' expressions changed. They looked at Zheng Zhilong and looked at Fan Mendy, with complex expressions on their faces. There are pirates in all countries. Britain even directly cooperated with pirates to resist the Spanish invasion. However, like Fan Mendy, they said in front of the pirate leader they trained that they had nothing to do with pirates. They really had never seen them. What a shameful face!

Fan Mendi didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to do this, and was stunned for a moment, but Zheng Zhilong continued to take the hot railroad: "Didn't you doubt that the Netherlands was originally just a colony under Spain, and it started to fly in just a few decades. The ocean-going sea ships were even twice as rich as all of your countries, and even more than their sect leader Spain. In just a few decades, how did this money come from? I don't know other places, in Japan, in Formosa, in Batavia, and in the entire Far East, I know that they started their own business by raising pirates and plundering!"

After listening to the translated retelling, the British and French representatives showed deep thought expressions. The rise of the Netherlands is indeed too abnormal. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible. Their eyes at Van Mendy were a little scared. Such an allies were indeed a bit scary.

Fan Mendy didn't expect that things would develop to this extent. He really didn't know how to refute Zheng Zhilong's accusations. In the end, he had to change the subject: "Nicolah, don't try to mislead our allies. The fact is that your Ming Empire detained our Dutch merchant ships. Can you cover up this fact by finding excuses from those pirates?"

Zheng Zhilong seemed to be desperate about Fan Mendi's character. He was too lazy to look at Fan Mendi, but instead said to the British and French representatives: "Do you think I should return the merchant ships and goods to them?"

Although the British and French representatives disliked the Netherlands' actions, the Netherlands was an allies after all, and it was impossible to let them help the Ming Empire in turn. So after they discussed it in a low voice for a while, Robert, the senior director of the British East India Company, came forward and replied: "No matter what, the act of seizing merchant ships is wrong. You can confiscate the stolen goods. As for merchant ships and other goods, they should be returned to the Dutch East India Company."

Zheng Zhilong seemed to have gone through a painful choice, but in the end he couldn't stand the "pressure" and could only grit his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you face."

After saying that, he turned his head and shouted at Zheng Xing with unwillingness: "Send out the guests."

When Zheng Xing saw Zheng Zhilong's joking expression in his eyes, he cooperated with his appearance of timidity and asked carefully: "That, those merchant ships and cargo."

Zheng Zhilong seemed to have suffered humiliation and continued to roar with "unwillingness": "Didn't you hear me? I'll give it back to them, and I'll give it back to them."

Zheng Xing seemed to be scared by the roar, so he quickly turned around and made a gesture to Fan Mendi and the British and French representatives.

Fan Mendi had long felt that he had no shame to stay still. Seeing Zheng Xing's gesture, he immediately stood up and left with his sleeves.

The representatives of Britain and France showed shame expressions and stood up and shook their heads. After they returned to Batavia, they all said goodbye to Van Mendy with various excuses. The rise of the Netherlands is too strange. The pirates in the Indian Ocean may have been made by the Dutch. They are still here to discuss cooperation with Van Mendy. It seems a bit too stupid. Let's go back and wait for instructions from the country!

Zheng Zhilong did not expect that making them suspicious not only cover up the pirate's identity problem, but also destroyed Fan Mendi's plan to use Donghu to hold the Ming Dynasty. Inadvertently, he made another great contribution.
