Chapter 642
The Netherlands built two major defensive fortresses in the southwest of Taiwan Island, one is the city of Jelandja in Danyuan, and the other is the city of Plominja located in Chikan, inland of the Taijiang River.The Dutch ruled Taiwan from these two places, of course, to be precise, mainly central and southern Taiwan.

On this day, the city of Zeelandia was extremely lively, and groups of Dutch soldiers were seen coming off the warships that had just docked at the port.Many people have a head on their guns.Obviously, these Dutchmen just came back from killing someone outside.

Seeing this scene, a person on a merchant ship that had just docked at the port watched all this, and a Han man at the port couldn't help but ask, "Where did these red barbarians go to cause harm?"

The dock worker heard this, turned his head and glanced, and immediately replied: "Where else can it be, it must be Xiaoliuqiu. Seeing how happy they are, they probably killed everyone on Xiaoliuqiu!"

Of course, some of the original residents of Xiaoliuqiu immigrated from Fujian and Guangdong and refused to accept the Dutch. For this reason, the eight Dutch governors have been sending troops to try to wipe out Xiaoliuqiu for more than ten years. of the original inhabitants.

It was not affected by Emperor Chongzhen's crossing wings. In the end, just like in the original history, at the end of [-], the original residents of Xiaoliuqiu were basically massacred by the Dutch for a long time. about there.

The person who asked the question just now made a "hum" from his nostrils, obviously very dissatisfied.

The dock worker heard this and could understand. As long as they were Han Chinese, they were basically disgusted by the behavior of these red barbarians.However, this Taiwan is the territory of the red barbarians, so what if they are disgusted with it, unless one day the imperial court takes a fancy to this foreign land and will send troops to take over Taiwan. Otherwise, the red barbarians will always have the final say here.

However, will the imperial court take a fancy to this place of alienation?Obviously impossible!Therefore, I can only hide my dissatisfaction in my heart and pretend to be a grandson.

Thinking of this in his heart, the dock worker kindly persuaded him: "My lord, on this territory of Hongyi, you should do business with peace of mind, so as not to cause death!"

When the man heard this, a trace of contempt appeared on his face, but it disappeared quickly.Instead, he took out a sling of copper coins and rewarded the dock worker, "Thank you for letting me know. You go to meet Mr. He. This sling of money will be your hard-earned money. Then tell him, I have a big business here, I hope If you can do business with Hong Yi through him, you will definitely get him a lot of commission."

The dock worker was overjoyed when he got the windfall.He knew that generally this kind of maritime merchants were indeed generous.Therefore, he didn't have any doubts, and immediately agreed, and ran to work in a hurry.

Not long after, the dock worker lured a Han man over.However, there was a cross hanging on the chest of this Han man. Obviously, he had converted to the gods of Xiyi.And the dress is also very westernized.It's just that his black hair and black eyes can't be changed.

"He Tongshi, you are the owner of this ship. Wait a moment, the villain will call for someone to come and pick you up!" The dock worker said with a smile on his face. Seeing no one on the deck, he wanted to step on the deck to inform up.

Seeing that it was a big ship, He Tongshen felt that the dock worker hadn't lied to him and that it must be a big business, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Since it's a big customer, there's no reason for the boss to come out to pick it up. No need. I can just go up there myself."

After finishing speaking, he stepped onto the board with two followers.

He is Hongyi's translator, anyone who wants to do big business with Hongyi must go through him.Therefore, today's incident is considered common, and he has no doubts.

As soon as he stepped on the board, one of his attendants rushed into the cabin and shouted: "Is anyone there? My family, Mr. He, is here!"

"It turns out that He Tongshi has arrived!" Hearing the sound, one person immediately got out of the cabin and signaled to the inside, "He Tongshi, please come inside, my master has a big deal to discuss!"

After hearing this, He Tongshi smiled broadly, agreed immediately, and got into the cabin.However, when his two followers wanted to follow him, they were stopped by the man.The man smiled and said, "My master is going to negotiate a big deal with He Tongshi. The fewer people know about it, the better. Please bear with me if I look outside the window."

While speaking, he handed over two small money bags and stuffed them into the hands of two of He Tongshi's followers.

The two followers weighed the weight with their hands, and there was a smile on their faces, and it didn't matter whether they could get in or not.Accompanied by this person, they drank the sea breeze and chatted on the deck.

"Your master is doing big business, does he have any bank notes issued by the imperial court?" one of the followers asked the man.

The man was a little surprised when he heard this, nodded and said: "Of course, Hongyi doesn't allow transactions with bank notes, otherwise it would be so convenient!"

The servant heard this, and immediately asked with a smile on his face, "Yes, I don't know how convenient it is to trade the bank notes! I have saved up a little money, can you change the bank notes for me?"

"What's so difficult about this?" The man said after hearing this, "But you can't use bank notes here, and it's useless if you change them!"

"No, I'm also a Ming!" The servant heard this and immediately said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to bring a bank note when I go back to the mainland?"

The other attendant heard this, and quickly smiled, expressing that he wanted to change the bank notes, and at the same time complained in a low voice, saying that Hongyi was really stubborn, and that the bank notes issued by the court could be exchanged for silver. , what is forbidden to use!
…………

The words are divided into two parts, let’s go back to He Tongshi.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw a few people drinking tea inside, and felt a little displeased, but they were only drinking tea and did not come out to greet him.But for the sake of money, he just let it go, and immediately smiled habitually and said: "Here is someone here, I don't know who it is..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw one of them raised his head to look at him, saw his face clearly, was startled, and couldn't continue speaking.

After being stunned for a while, he immediately stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted, "I didn't expect Fourth Master to come. It's such a distinguished guest. No wonder the magpies keep barking today. Rare visitor, rare visitor..."

This person is Zheng Hongkui, and the matter is of great importance. This He Tongshi He Bin is the key person, so it was he who contacted this person himself.

At this time, seeing He Bin like this, Zheng Hongkui stretched out his hand to signal, and said with a smile: "Come, let's sit and taste the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain together!"

"Si Ye is so polite!" He Bin sat down as he said, and at the same time asked with a smile, "Si Ye, what business do you want to do with Hong Yi through the villain? You just need to say a word, won't Hong Yi listen?" of."

This He Bin used to be Zheng Zhilong's subordinate. Because he knew Dutch, he eventually converted to the Dutch belief and worked as a Dutch translator. He was very successful in Taiwan, a territory controlled by the Dutch.

However, in the original history, he eventually owed a lot of debt because of his gambling, so he was found and punished by the Dutch for his meddling in some matters.After being unable to get along in Taiwan, he fled to Zheng Chenggong's side to persuade Zheng Chenggong to regain Taiwan.

He Bin naturally knows the power of the Zheng family best.It goes without saying that he knew Zheng Hongkui.After Zheng Zhilong went north, of course he had to be careful as the actual controller of the Zheng family fleet.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui did not speak immediately. He just waited for him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

He Bin carefully picked up the tea cup, tasted it carefully, and then said sincerely: "This tea is so fragrant, good tea, good tea!"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongkui glanced to the left and right, and the two subordinates who had been drinking tea with him stood up and stood in the cabin in case someone came in suddenly.

Seeing this posture, He Bin felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he didn't realize that he had anything to do with the Zheng family, unless it was...

Thinking of it this way, he was a little puzzled again. After so many years, it is impossible to pursue it now, right?
So, he accompanied Xiaoxin and said to Zheng Hongkui: "Fourth Master, actually, the villain has always wanted to go back, but he never had the chance, so he just messed around with Hong Yi..."

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, in the past, when he changed his family, he did not work with Zheng Zhilong, but went to work with Hong Yi, who was against Zheng Zhilong at the beginning.

But how many years have passed since this incident, and Hongyi has reconciled with Zheng Zhilong and surrendered to the Zheng family.It feels a little strange to pursue him again at this time!
Zheng Hongkui was thinking about how to speak. Hearing what he said, he continued his topic and said: "Now we have an opportunity, and it is a very good opportunity. How about it? Will you return?"

Hearing this, He Bin groaned bitterly in his heart, but he didn't expect it was really because of this matter.To be honest, he really didn't want to go back, otherwise, after so many years, he would have a chance to go back.However, in front of Zheng Hongkui, he dared not say no.

So, he had no choice but to smile wryly and said: "If there is a chance to go back, the villain is of course willing to go back. I don't know what kind of opportunity Fourth Master said about?"

He didn't dare to offend Zheng Hongkui, because he knew very well in his heart that the Zheng family was killed from the pirate group, it was not from good men and women.

Zheng Hongkui was not in a hurry to answer. He drank the Dahongpao first, and made He Bin wait for a while in anxiety before putting down the teacup, and solemnly said to He Bin: "The Hongyi colluded with the Japanese country and attacked our Ming Dynasty. The decree is to destroy Hongyi. You have made great contributions for the internal response, and that is the best chance to come back. Maybe your official position can surpass some other old brothers!"

Upon hearing this, He Bin couldn't help being taken aback, and said with a surprised face: "Fourth Master, did you make a mistake? The villain is here, and he didn't see Hongyi's ship go to the country of Japan. They sent troops to destroy Taiwan at most." It’s just those who don’t obey them!”
