At noon, the Dutch envoy arrived in Min'an Town. The food of the Ming Dynasty had already made the Dutch envoy who had been in a wild and isolated island long for a long time. So he immediately went to the largest restaurant in the town to relieve his greed.

There was no shortage of money, and for the sake of safety, the Dutch envoy Aibige and his five guards all entered the private room to have a meal. The Ming officials who accompanied him had a meal next door, each eating their own.

As he was eating, Ai Bige suddenly heard the words "pirates" coming from the next room. He couldn't help but become curious and signaled his companions to cover up, but he eavesdropped.

Among the Dutch, he understood the Mandarin 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 is ruthless and ruthless, and he is merciless to any pirate. This time, in order to deal with Xu Xiang's group of pirates, he actually sent such a high-ranking civil servant, and two gang generals to Xu Xiang's nest. It's thrilling to think about it. If he can't escape, our Ming Dynasty will suffer heavy losses!"

"Yes, I was shocked when I heard this. It is said that Xu Xiang and the Pirates did not agree to plead, but just went to negotiate. They sent so many adults over there, which was really scary!"

“…”

Ai Bige was shocked and couldn't help but have a new understanding of the Fujian governor of Ming. You must know that if you just go to negotiate, you can just send someone from the government, at least you will be sincere first and then send senior officials? It seems that this Fujian governor is really not an ordinary person!

Thinking of this, he continued to listen.

"But what is even more unexpected is that while Sun Zhongcheng sent so many adults to negotiate, he had already predicted that Xu Xiang's pirates would not be recruited. He secretly sent troops to ambush. As expected, he would defeat Xu Xiang's pirates as soon as he was arrested."

"Yes, this is a big victory! It is said that Sun Zhongcheng hated the pirates to the core. Most of the captured pirates were cut off their heads and were shocked by hanging on the shore!"

"This is not surprising. Think about it, how many pirates and pirates have been killed after Sun Zhongcheng took office? It can even be said that Sun Zhongcheng is much more powerful than the previous Nan Zhongcheng. As long as he can capture those thieves, he is willing to use any means!"

“…”

Hearing this, Ai Bige couldn't help but feel a slap in his heart. They had suffered a great loss at the hands of the former Fujian Governor Nan Juyi. Thinking back to the beginning, Nan Juyi was also very cunning and lied to the Netherlands to negotiate and trade. As a result, the delegation went ashore to negotiate with him. He was arrested at the banquet. The two ships sent were also attacked and no one could escape.

This new Fujian Governor Sun Chuanting actually hated pirates more than Nan Juyi. He was so useless to do anything. Could it be that he was still lying to himself this time, right?

Thinking of this, he immediately remembered that, before the New Year, Sun Chuanting sent someone to come to the door and said that the Portuguese had gone to transport grain for them. If the Netherlands did not transport grain, they would send heavy troops to wipe it out. Then he said that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, as long as the food was transported and the law of the Ming Dynasty could trade openly. Now, I think about it, this... isn't this a coercion and temptation?

When Ai Bige thought of this, for some reason, he suddenly lost confidence and felt a little bad.

"You don't know that Sun Zhongcheng has actually planned to deal with these red barbarians. It is said that the combat plan for Taiwan has been formulated, and he is waiting for the Zheng family navy to come back."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to be heard."

Aibige heard that the officials in the private room next door seemed to be coming to check. He quickly sat back and pretended to eat and drink with his companions. After waiting for a while, there was indeed a person in the official named Kang who accompanied him came over and asked when he could leave and not let Sun Zhongcheng wait in a hurry, otherwise everyone would be in trouble.

"Now, right now!" Ai Bige replied quickly, "The food in your country is so delicious. We will set off when we have enough."

Seeing the official surnamed Kang go back, Aibige gestured again and asked his companions to continue to cover up, but he went to listen to the corner again.

"Those red barbarians are indeed a group of barbarians. They are just restaurants in the town. They just eat and drink in a sea of ​​vain. They are really useless. Don't worry about them. It seems that they still have to eat a lot of time."

"Haha, our Ming Dynasty is not comparable to those barbaric countries. Otherwise, they came here from thousands of miles away and were still thinking about stealing our Ming Dynasty, right?"

“…”

Ai Bige had a gloomy face and heard the officials next door telling Dutch jokes. He could feel that these officials looked down on them at all. But in order to listen to more useful information, he had to suppress his temper and continue listening.

"But speaking of this, the force of these red barbarians is really strong, which makes Sun Zhongcheng a little afraid, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so much!"

"What did you say? It's true to be afraid, otherwise why not let the Red Barbarians' warships dock?"

"Don't you know, General Liu Chan, who had just made great contributions, has led his elites to Changle. It looks like he was going to fight a war. I don't know if it's true?"

"What, there is still this? I didn't meet it on the way!"

"Stupid, this road is the way from the red barbarians next door to Fuzhou. How could General Liu Shen go here!"

"What does it mean? Could it be that you want to deal with those red barbarians?"

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

“…”

Hearing this, Ai Bige couldn't bear to listen. He was scared when he remembered the dealings with Ming Dynasty over the years. Could it be that Sun Chuanting, like the previous Nan Juyi, was also a person who was untrustworthy, and he wanted to help him transport food, and then turned his back on his face?

The more he thinks this, the more likely he feels!

After listening for a while, he could no longer listen and felt that there would be great danger to go to the governor's mansion. Not only himself, but also the fleet in Taiping Port was also in danger. He gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.

He whispered to his companion, then pretended to be happy, and called the waiter to ask them to add wine and vegetables to the next door, saying that he would thank them for their companionship. Then he ran away from pee, rode a horse and returned to Taiping Port.

What he didn't know was that almost at the same time, a boat was approaching the Dutch warship, and a Ming man got on the boat to communicate with the Dutch, and it took a long time to leave. Then, these Dutch warships also took action and made a defensive posture, approaching Taiping Port, and also sent people to the side of the grain ship, trying to get the grain ship out of the port, but the Ming army watched and was stopped.

Because of past history, the trust between both parties is like a piece of tissue paper, and it will be broken as soon as you touch it.
