Putmans took a clear look at the situation on the shore through a monocular telescope. First, the Ming general hit his own men, which made him very angry. But he couldn't understand what happened next.

Logically speaking, both sides have reached the point of beating each other. Is the conflict very serious? But later on, we relaxed again and seemed to be able to talk ok. Even now, why did this Ming general come to his side alone again? Didn't he see the defensive posture put on by his side?

Under his puzzled gaze, several people climbed onto the deck one after another through the ladder. Sure enough, there was a whip mark on Aibi Ge's body, which showed that he was right. But it seemed that Aibi Ge didn't care about the whip marks at all. She just introduced him with a smile: "This is the number one general under the governor of the Ming Dynasty, General Liu Shen!"

Then he introduced Putmans to Liu Guoneng, and then said with a little embarrassment: "I heard some rumors on the road, and I was suspicious and returned before arriving in Fuzhou. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I am ready to go to Fuzhou again. , to negotiate for our trade between the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty."

Naturally, he explained in his native language and Putmans, which Liu Guoneng could not understand. But this does not prevent him from observing the situation through his expressions.

The leader of the red barbarians seemed a little surprised, and asked the red-haired ghost who knew Mandarin in a gibbering voice. The two of them communicated for a while, seeming to be explaining things. After a while, Aibi Ge turned to look at Liu Guoneng and said, "General Liu, I've already explained it. It's all a misunderstanding. It's okay, it's okay!"

Putmans also smiled and nodded in agreement.

In fact, the fact that Liu Guo was able to board the warship alone showed with practical actions that the Ming Dynasty had no ill intentions. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the top general to send himself into the tiger's den. Sometimes, it is difficult to communicate clearly about some things just by talking about them, but when you take actual actions, everything becomes clear.

After hearing this, Liu Guoneng glanced at Ma San, and then asked: "I would like to know why you were so good before, but then changed your mind. Not only did you threaten the warships, but you also wanted to drive the grain ships out of the dock?"

After hearing Aibi Ge's translation, Putmans was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to say it at first, but on the Ming Dynasty, the generals were all personally on their flagships, which in itself showed the greatest goodwill. If you want to have good trade with the Ming Dynasty, it is best not to leave any trace of distrust, so you can only answer: "There is a Ming Dynasty person who said that he was influenced by Aibi Ge..."

At this point, he pointed at Aibi Ge himself, and then continued: "Zhizhi said that he discovered that your Ming Dynasty wanted to annihilate our Dutch fleet. He saw that we brought food to trade, and we were very sincere but suffered such injustice. , out of righteous indignation, he helped spread the news. He also asked why our warships could not dock and why the Ming army on the shore seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. He also said that the general would lead his troops and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. When it comes to taking action..."

Liu Guoneng couldn't help being surprised when he heard these words. At this moment, he immediately understood the emperor's intention of asking him to come in person. Sure enough, there was an evil person obstructing him. If I don't come here, judging from the expression on the Hongyi leader's face, he doesn't seem to want to say anything yet. He may have made some kind of promise to the traitor.

At this time, Ma San suddenly said: "I am Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi Ma San. Who knows who this traitor is?"

Upon hearing this, Aibi Ge was immediately shocked. Looking at the ordinary-looking Ma San, she seemed a little unbelievable. He understands the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally understands the affairs of the Ming Dynasty relatively well. The Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal soldiers and had great power in the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, he suddenly understood why General Liu Shen immediately changed his behavior after the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi bit his ear.

At this moment, he knew that he could offend General Liu, but he could not offend Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi. Otherwise, even if the local government is willing to do business with the Netherlands, if the emperor's pro-army slanders the emperor, everything may change. To a certain extent, what Jin Yiwei does represents the emperor's attitude.

Thinking of this, he immediately introduced Putmans in his native language and said what he was thinking about: "Judging from what happened just now, what this Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi showed was all against us Dutch people. He said, as long as we follow the rules of the Ming Kingdom, we don't have to worry about anything. Even if the Ming Governor is the same person as the previous governor, they are no bigger than the Ming Emperor. Someone with the emperor's endorsement , we must be overthinking it.”

At this point, he thought that he had actually asked Putmans about the warship operation before, but Putmans made it clear at that time that he did not want to name the Mingguo person who tipped off the information because he had promised not to disclose the information. , he continued: "Jinyiwei Xiaoqi asked that person just now, Your Excellency the Governor, that person obviously means to sow discord and is not a good person. When Jinyiwei Xiaoqi asks, it is best to answer truthfully, even if it offends Liu Shen We will not let this Jinyiwei Xiaoqi have any opinions on us. This kind of thing is a recognized matter in the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Putmans nodded without hesitation and immediately answered, translated by Abigail: "I don't know that person, but he is very good at talking. He looks gentle and gentle, and he seems to be a businessman... …”

After describing it for a while, Ma San frowned and asked again: "Can you draw his portrait? Just a sketch!"

Liu Guoneng, on the other hand, had no complaints about the fact that communication with these Hongyi was suddenly dominated by Ma San. Because behind Ma San, standing was the emperor. He was sure that Ma San would never be able to say these words, especially these terms that he had never heard before. What Ma San said at this time must be just paraphrasing the emperor's words.

Besides, for things like checking people, I am not good at leading troops, so it is most suitable to leave it to the Jin Yiwei.

Abigail was also very surprised by this Ma San. Not only could he correctly pronounce the name of the country of the Netherlands, but he was also distinguished from other Ming people by the red name of the country. At this time, he also specially pointed out the sketch. Apparently, he seemed to be interested in things other than the Ming Dynasty. very familiar.

He did not dare to neglect in front of such a discerning person, and immediately relayed Ma San's words to Putmans and proposed to give a portrait. After getting the consent of Putmans, he said with a smile: "Please wait, two adults. There is someone on the ship who can sketch and let people draw it in a while. Our Lord Governor said that it is a rare time for you to come, so he decided to entertain you well." For a moment, please don’t refuse.”

As he spoke, he became much more enthusiastic, and he also thought about entertaining people.
