Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 645
When he arrived in Jialong's office, he saw Jialong sitting there with a gloomy face thinking about something, and after waiting for a while, He Bin said again: "My lord, when the villain and the Haiphong guerrilla were communicating about this matter, Originally, the fourth eldest of the Zheng family, that is, Zheng Hongkui, was also on the sidelines, and he proposed a compromise method..."

"Oh?" Jia Long immediately raised his head when he heard it, his eyes glowed with hope, and asked quickly, "What kind of compromise?"

He Bin heard this, and immediately said respectfully: "Then Zheng Hongkui told Haiphong Guerrilla, that is, his nephew, that during the absence of the Fujian Navy, prohibiting maritime merchants from going to sea will easily cause dissatisfaction, and the Zheng family will suffer a lot. Therefore, he suggested that the Zheng family and the governor make a covenant, agreeing that during the absence of the Fujian navy, we can not collect our ship tax, as if we can't take the opportunity to make trouble."

Upon hearing this, Jia Long immediately said happily: "That's it? Sure, I'll write an oath to them right away."

After finishing speaking, he immediately went to get his quill pen and was ready to start writing.

However, He Bin immediately went on to say: "Master Governor, they said that they must meet and make a covenant, otherwise, they said that we would deny it, that you did not write this oath, and it may be that you did not swear to God. Everything is true. I want to trick the Fujian Navy into leaving early."

"..." Upon hearing this, Jialong froze, his face full of anger, "Can't you stamp my governor's customs seal?"

"Your Excellency, the guerrilla who just came to Haiphong doesn't believe it. He said that unless he saw the Governor swear a poisonous oath to God and wrote the oath in his own hand, otherwise, he felt that banning maritime merchants from going to sea would make the Zheng family more profitable. !” He Bin said pretending to be a little angry.

"How can this be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable..." After hearing this, Jia Long was very angry. He slammed the table and shouted sternly, "They are doubting my character! What a bully! Have they never done this kind of thing? Yan But Wu Xin said it was a peace negotiation, but ended up detaining the person, which is really bullying!"

"Yes, it's just bullying you. Do you want to accept it or not?" He Bin lowered his head and answered the words secretly in his heart.

He can be sure that if Taiwan's profits are greatly reduced, or even no profits, the position of the governor is definitely not easy to do.Now there are only two ways in front of Jia Long, one is to compromise, and the other is to go to war.

However, if they can defeat the Fujian navy, how can these Xiyi obediently submit to the Zheng family and hand over the silver to obtain the Zheng family's order flag!
He thought about it again, and Jia Long really roared: "The yellow-haired boy bullied me too much, isn't he afraid that I will start a war with them? My Dutch warships are far faster than theirs, and their cannons are far better than theirs. They Haven't you thought about it..."

He Bin lowered his head and let him go crazy wherever he went without saying a word.

"...Dare to doubt my character, this is absolutely unforgivable!" Jialong shouted angrily, unable to sit still, stood up like a headless chicken, and walked back and forth outside his office with.

He Bin was happy in his heart, and at the same time he secretly despised: "What kind of character can you barbarians have? As long as the opponent is weak, you will talk with muskets and cannons, cheating and abducting, so there are so many immoral things to do? There are still so many people hanging out there. The first level, just forget it? This is because the Zheng family is strong, so they have such a pitiful look, feeling like they are being bullied!"

After Jialong was angry for a while, he suddenly stood up and told He Bin loudly: "Go, gather those leaders, and give them an order to increase tax payment at the end of this year. As long as I survive this period, I will have If there is a big income, they will be given tax relief!"

Hearing this, He Bin understood that it was because he was afraid to reduce the exemption, and he wanted to wait until the Fujian Navy was transferred away.But it's useless, because the Fujian Navy will never really go to North Korea.

He Bin thought to himself, and immediately agreed, then pretended to be diligent and hurriedly went to do the work.

In fact, this is a chain meter.It doesn't matter if Jialong doesn't agree. In order to complete his task, he won't receive money from the sea merchants, so he will inevitably increase taxes.Originally, the levy on the people of Taiwan was high, if it was increased, it would inevitably cause anger and resentment.In this way, when the Fujian Navy turned back to attack Taiwan, it would be smoother.

Sure enough, after Jialong raised the tax, even if there were so many leaders hanging there, even if He Bin really had to communicate with those leaders for the Dutch, it still couldn't stop the anger of the Taiwanese people from growing.

This Chongzhen 18-year Chinese New Year, no one has thought about it.Because Jialong saw that the taxes could not be collected, and those untouchables were perfunctory in defaulting on the arrears, he sent his army to come to the door to grab things to pay taxes during the Chinese New Year, and arrest people if they didn't have anything.

During this process, it was inevitable that those Dutch devils would commit crimes and run amok.Robbing things, beating people, killing people, doing unforgivable things to women, etc., are all easy things to do.

Finally, a village couldn't bear the worsening of the Dutch. When they knew that the Dutch devils were about to enter the village, they ambushed the Dutch devils, killed one and wounded three. The whole village ran into the mountains and hid.

Jialong couldn't help being furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent people to gather other leaders, and asked them to go out and search the mountains with the Dutch army, and punish those Taiwanese people who dared to rebel, and kill them as an example.

However, how could those leaders seriously work for the Dutch? Naturally, it was futile.And they also complained endlessly, saying that they were about to die and couldn't raise taxes.

On the Dutch side, even after they started robbing things, they still couldn't collect enough taxes. Jialong's panda eyes have become deeper and more similar these days.

Finally, on this day, he received a tip-off saying that the Fujian navy hadn't left and was still making preparations and hadn't set off, so he couldn't sit still anymore and called He Bin over: "Go across the sea again and tell me That damned coastal defense guerrilla, just say that I agree with their conditions, but I won’t go to the mainland, and I will choose the meeting place! Otherwise, don’t force me to die, hmph!”

"Your Excellency, the new coastal defense guerrilla is hard to talk about!" He Bin didn't agree immediately after hearing this, but reminded, "Don't forget, Your Excellency Governor, they didn't believe you, they doubted you!"

Jialong blushed when he heard this, and growled, "I'm here to do business. As long as I can make money, what else do I care about? Go and tell that brat, if I really want to tear my face apart, I will definitely report to Badawi. Ya asks for help and asks for more troops to see how much money the Zheng family has to fight with my Dutch fleet!"

Although he was roaring, the voice was very loud, but He Bin could still hear his sternness.They have been working under these red-haired ghosts for so many years, no one knows how powerful these red-haired ghosts are!
He Bin thought so in his heart, but on the surface he echoed again and again, filled with righteous indignation, meaning that he was wronged by his master.In the end, he promised again and again that he must bring the words of the governor to him.

Just like that, He Bin left Taiwan again with justification and integrity, and went to Xiamen to deliver news again.

During the time when Jialong was waiting for the news, the people of Taiwan were more and more rebellious against the increase in taxes. He was very annoyed by this, and said viciously to the leaders of various ethnic groups: "It should be that the heads outside have already rotted." , it won’t have much effect, will it? If there are still people who dare to go against my will, I don’t mind replacing it with a batch of fresh heads, how about it?”

Of course, none of the leaders dared to object on the spot, and they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out.The anger towards the Dutch is also accumulating.

On this day, He Bin finally came back, his face a little ugly.This is not pretend, it is real.

He didn't expect that Zheng Chenggong asked him to take advantage of his status as an officer trusted by Hongyi to hold Dutch Governor Garon hostage when he signed the oath.

I have to say, this thing is a bit dangerous.However, he had no way out and had to do it.However, he was a little relieved that the risk was great and the benefits were also many. Zheng Chenggong agreed in person that he could be a subordinate of the Zheng family and get a share of the profits for three years.

"How about it? Did the yellow-haired boy agree, so Zheng Hongkui wouldn't let him go?" Jia Long asked immediately when he saw He Bin.Urgent, don't be too obvious.

After hearing this, He Bin started the performance according to the script agreed in advance, and immediately said a little angrily: "Then Zheng Chenggong still has doubts about the governor, and he is afraid that you will change your mind when the Fujian navy leaves. Fortunately, Zheng Hongkui persuaded him , and finally agreed to the Governor's request."

At first, Jia Long's face changed when he heard it, but at the end, he was finally relieved.I feel in my heart that the old people are still reliable, and those young people don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and the cost of fighting. If there is a fight, who can win?
Therefore, Jialong chose a place in the Penghu Islands to meet, and asked for the meeting as soon as possible.

When this request was passed on, when He Bin returned again, there were several merchant ships that followed him.He Bin smiled and said to Jia Long who was somewhat unexpected: "Master Governor, this is the Zheng family's belief in our sincerity, so the sea ban will be released before the oath is made."

Jia Long smiled when he heard that, that's the best.So, he immediately sent an order to mobilize three warships to go with him to the Penghu Islands to meet the new coastal defense guerrillas.By the way, he also prepared a gift for Zheng Chenggong.

On this day, when the agreed deadline came, the sun was rising and the waves were not big, so Garron hurriedly led the fleet to set off.

Seeing He Bin next to him, he was relieved, and finally at the last step, nothing happened.

However, sometimes, God likes to joke.Just when Garon's fleet was about to leave the port, they saw two Western-style warships approaching from the sea outside the port.
