As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

The He Bin in front of him was really suspicious. He didn't know this person before, and he didn't hear anyone know him. He just dared to come to the official family with such an important thing?

According to Liu Hongjian's guess, this guy probably made money, otherwise he would not have thought of any other reason.

If it is easy to say for the sake of money, if the Ryukyu can be recovered with silver, Liu Hongjian can wake up laughing in his dreams. The question is where did this picture come from?

There are also those European Rhombus Arrangement Maps, whether they are true or false. How could he get this thing so confidential?

"Report to the prince, this picture was made by a friend who is good at drawing. As for the defense of Lingbao, I will say bluntly that I know the city of Relanzha and Prominzha!" He Bin stroked the sparse goat wool and said seriously.

According to He Bin, he was originally a member of the Dutch in Ryukyu. To put it bluntly, he was just a translator.

He was specifically responsible for the contact between Dutch merchant ships and the Ming Dynasty. Because of his good words and long social interactions, he gradually came into contact with the senior Dutch garrison in Ryukyu. He went through five Governors of Ryukyu until he followed the current Governor of Ryukyu Owat.

But as a Ming people, he knew very well what life the Ming people in Ryukyu lived. The Dutch oppressed the Ming people and asked them to do the heaviest work on the entire island, and deducted wages. Whenever there was any resistance, he immediately suppressed bloody suppression.

He Bin saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He was also a descendant of Yan Huang, a descendant of China. He really couldn't bear to live a good life, but his compatriots were in dire straits.

So he used his power to give preferential treatment to the people of Ryukyu, such as bribing the men to feed the people who work, and often giving silver to their compatriots who couldn't eat.

There are countless such things, and later He Bin's behavior aroused the suspicion of the Governor of Ryukyu Owat, who wanted to get rid of him, the black sheep.

He Bin was desperate and fled to Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian overnight. He also thanked those suffering compatriots, so he simply spent a lot of money to ask someone to draw this defense map based on his memories of the two Lingbao Castles.

He had gone to the prefect of Zhangzhou but was not valued. Later, he heard news that the Beiyang Navy was coming to Quanzhou, so he quickly came with a mission to ask for a meeting.

"So, are you a patriotic righteous man?" Liu Hongjian frowned after hearing this.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it!" He Bin raised his eyebrows and said modestly, but his expression betrayed him.

"Who do you think we are more like a fool?" Liu Hongjian stared at He Bin with a burning look and said with great fun.

"This...this..." He Bin was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to reply.

"I will give you another last chance. If you don't tell the truth, haha, then let's go to the Jinyiwei Zhaozhuo." Liu Hongjian said with a calm expression.

He Bin's story sounds like there is no flaw, but it is precisely why Liu Hongjian feels upset.

If he had always been in the high-level of Ryukyu, then no matter how bad the Dutchman was, after all, he had raised you for more than ten years and gave you a rich life. You just bullied the people of the Ming Dynasty and then betrayed the old master?

Why do you have such a high level of awareness when people have not bullied you? Have you received nine years of compulsory education?

Having said that, if you really have such a high awareness, how could you be a traitor for the Dutch?

There were so many people who were bullied in the Ming Dynasty, but I didn’t see anyone. Everyone was alone and would be fine if they didn’t bully others.

In fact, this is actually the case.

He Bin has indeed been working with the Dutchman, and is indeed trusted by Ovat, the current Dutch Governor to Ryukyu.

But He Bin's sympathy for the people of Ryukyu and helping the people of Ryukyu to deal with the Dutch is nonsense.

This guy is a businessman, to be precise, a failed businessman, who can pay for whatever he does. After his last bankruptcy, he followed the Dutch as a translator.

After staying in Ryukyu for a long time, he found that the Dutch trusted him very much, including foreign businessmen who often gave him to follow him when trading with the Dutch.

This is a fat man. You should know that you need to find an intermediary to re-scale trade with foreign countries. After all, both buyers and sellers do not trust each other's words. In the later years, it is a fair scale.

This was an indispensable job in foreign trade in ancient times. Xiao Zheng's father Zheng Zhilong once did this job.

He Bin used his power to buy the person in charge of the fair scale and joined forces with him to cheat the Dutchman, and both of them made money.

But later, the bad thing happened. The greed of the scale was insufficient, and the matter was exposed by the Dutchman.

When He Bin saw that after he finished his life, he went home to clean up the soft and fled to Ryukyu alone that night, but he didn't even bother to take his family away.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to take him. His residence is surrounded by Dutch people. It’s okay to go out alone, but those who are with their families will be taken away in one fell swoop.

As soon as he arrived in Zhangzhou, he learned the news that his home was indeed raided by the Dutchman, and his wife and children were locked up.

After he became safe, He Bin began to worry about his wife and children, but he had no soldiers and no rights. Apart from the money he carried, what should he use to save his wife and children?

So today's events came into being.

He originally thought that he could rescue his wife and children with this picture, and then do some errands and ask for some money, but the prefect of Zhangzhou refused to see him at all.

It’s so good that money can make people beat the ghosts, so the prefect of Quanzhou took him to meet the most powerful prince of the Ming Dynasty.

I heard that the prince is still very young and wants to fool him, but looking at this situation, especially the cold eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, He Bin feels that he seems to be transparent.

"Prince forgive me! The young man actually just wanted to save his family, but the defense map is indeed true. If it is fake, it depends on the prince's disposal!" He Bin finally failed to hold on and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Then he talked about it all in a row, and buried himself in the ground and never dared to look up again. Although he had lived in Ryukyu for a long time, he had heard of the title of Jinyiwei.

"Hahahaha! Your damn is such a talent!" Liu Hongjian naturally saw the authenticity of the map, and felt relieved and swearing.

I also asked and learned that in order to deal with the Zheng family, the Dutch transferred all the warships of Ryukyu. At present, there are only 6,000 Dutch troops in Ryukyu. Not only does it have no ships, but many of the soldiers were transferred from several other colonial sites.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, why did he meet him? Made, if you don't come to surround Wei and save Zhao, you're sorry for the military books he has read these days, Liu Hongjian said in his heart.

PS: He Bin, from Nan'an, Fujian, Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan with the Lingbao Arrangement Map and the Taiwan Strait Waterway Map, but that was fourteen years later.

Regarding He Bin, some people say he is a patriotic hero, but Han Han believes that this is not really patriotism. The main reason is for his own interests, and the nature of patriotism is passive.

This is the same as whether Wei Zhongxian was a hero of the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian framed the Donglin Party because of his power, which indirectly extended the lifespan of the Ming Dynasty. But can you say that he was because of patriotism?
