    The man named "Guan Fu" stood up and shook his head as usual: "The red barbarians are the Netherlands, the lotus flowers reflect the moon, and they are also called the peace and harmony, they are the country of the West"  "

    After hearing what this man said, Ding Yunyi also took it to heart. Unexpectedly, the steward said next: "The country is so big that it is extraordinary. It is roughly as big as our Ming Dynasty. It has hundreds of millions of people and millions of ships."  He has tens of thousands of soldiers and more than ten thousand generals who are good at fighting. His king is eight feet tall and has red hair and eyebrows, so he is often called "Red Barbarian".

    This man spoke clearly and eloquently, and everyone listened attentively.  From the second floor, Han Xiaoxiao said "Oh": "It turns out that it is also a big country, no wonder it dares to attack our Ming Dynasty."

    "That's nonsense."

    When Ding Yunyi heard this, he couldn't help shouting.

    This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention. Guan Fu was embarrassed and became angry: "How dare you say such arrogant words at such a young age?"

    Ding Yunyi stood up and glanced at him disdainfully: "It's not wrong for Hongyi to call the Netherlands, but how could it be so scary as this gentleman said? It's just a small country in the West. Its full name is the United Provinces of the Netherlands.  ', was originally ruled by Spainthat is, the Ganrasi people, and later invaded, so it was a feud with the Ganrasi people. After gaining independence from the Ganrasi people, the Netherlands developed into navigation and trade.  A powerful country with more merchant ships than all European countries combined, it is known as the 'Sea Coachman'. Their king is not an eight-foot-tall man with red hair and red eyebrows, but the head of the republic, Governor William II!"

    These words were unheard by everyone here. Even Qin Yun opened his eyes wide. Who would have thought that Inspector Ding knew Hongyi so well?

    "Governor William II? That's an interesting name." Han Xiaoxiao's voice came from the second floor.

    Ding Yunyi glanced upward: "The governor was elected by the Dutch, and he actually does not have much real power. The operating system of the United Provinces Republic is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty. For example, in diplomacy, if a treaty of great importance is signed, the United Provinces  The head of the republic has no say and must take the treaty to the parliament of the republic for discussion and decision-making; but the republic is composed of autonomous provinces, so it must be discussed and approved by the provincial assembly of each province; and each province has  There are some autonomous cities, so the treaty must first be approved by the parliament of each autonomous city. Then, the decision of approval or disapproval will be sent back to the provincial assembly-the Assembly of the Federation of Provinces and the head of state.¡±

    Everyone in Lanyue Pavilion opened their eyes wide when they heard this.  What kind of parliament, what kind of republic, hearing it is like hearing it from heaven.

    "Their leader must be on par with me, the Ming Dynasty emperor, but what he says doesn't count?" Han Xiaoxiao Dajue was curious and half-believed: "Since you said Hongyi is a small country, how dare you compete with me, the Ming Dynasty?"

    "This is called Yelang's arrogance." Ding Yunyi smiled: "The Netherlands has developed maritime trade and always thinks that it is invincible. In Europe, the Netherlands is very similar to the Francois, in that they are extremely short of land, so they have to make a living from the sea. As  With the development of maritime trade, the Dutch had established a huge ocean-going fleet. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Malang, deputy commander of the Dutch Eastern Fleet, led two large warships to the Ming Dynasty sea area in an attempt to invade Macau first and then occupy Penghu.  Unexpectedly, they encountered strong winds on the way and drifted to Penghu Island. At that time, Ming Dynasty flood troops were stationed on the island to guard against Japanese pirates. Since Japanese pirates mostly invaded in winter and spring, it was summer and the garrison had withdrawn to the mainland, so the Dutch had no resistance.  They occupied Penghu and declared it a Dutch stronghold."

    There was silence in Lanyue Pavilion, everyone was attracted by Ding Yunyi¡¯s story:

    "After Wei Malang was stationed, he asked a Ming businessman to go to the mainland to discuss trade matters with local officials in Fujian. It is a serious crime for Ming officials to trade with foreign countries privately. Therefore, the businessman was arrested as soon as he landed. The local official also asked the Dutch  People exit Penghu first.

    What's ridiculous is that the Dutch actually regarded me as a native of Ming Dynasty. Wei Malang turned a deaf ear to the imperial court's request. While he sent people to bribe the tax collectors and eunuchs stationed in Fujian, he also wrote a letter threatening the local officials, claiming that if  If they disagree with the trade, they send warships to attack along the coast of Fujian.  As a result, their approach attracted 50 naval warships from the Ming Dynasty.  "

    Speaking of this, Ding Yunyi¡¯s words were full of admiration:

    "The commander of the fleet is named Shen Yourong. He has participated in the Wanli Korean Campaign and the Southeast Coast Suppression of Japanese Campaign. He is a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles. The imperial court sent such a general to lead the fleet to negotiate. This is the Dutch  Unexpected.

    A dramatic scene happened. Shen Yourong informed the Dutch of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s commercial policy and asked the Dutch to leave Ming territory immediately.  Although Wei Malang himself could still maintain his grace, the people around him became angry and drew their swords in protest.  Faced with the threat of war from the Dutch, Shen Yourong replied:?China is very accustomed to killing thieves. Since you say you are a businessman, so you act as a guest, how can you talk about fighting?  I think I had the intention of rebelling, so I came to see the power of the Celestial Empire!  You have never heard that I destroyed the Japanese sea, and the water turned red. I cannot bear to have you follow in the footsteps of the Japanese.  ¡¯

    The Dutch were shrewd businessmen. Although they declared war, they wisely chose to retreat when they found that their two warships had been surrounded by 50 Ming warships and the commander of the other side was a confident general.  .  The first armed contest between the European maritime hegemons and the Ming Dynasty ended in a bloodless way. This incident left a monument in Penghu called "Shen Yourong ordered to retire the red-haired fan Wei Malang and others", which will be famous throughout the ages!  "

    "What a Shen Yourong, who can defeat others without fighting." Han Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise.

    "You have never heard that I destroyed the Japanese sea, and the water turned red. I can't bear to have you follow in the footsteps of the Japanese!" What a momentum!

    Ding Yunyi smiled. Although he couldn't see Han Xiaoxiao's appearance behind the curtain on the second floor, he could think of Han Xiaoxiao's admiration at this moment: "More than that? Hongyi was always unwilling to accept it, so he repeatedly provoked me, Da Ming, but every time  They were all defeated by our Ming Dynasty, and the fortress established in Penghu was completely destroyed. The previous naval battle was a complete defeat. Now Hong Yi'an dares to face our Ming Dynasty? It is really ridiculous to say that Hong Yi's land is as different as our Ming Dynasty.  ¡±

    "Guan Fu" became angry in embarrassment: "Nonsense, nonsense, you made this up yourself. How can you understand Hongyi's affairs so well at such a young age?"

    Before Ding Yunyi could answer, Qin Yun had already laughed and said: "Don't you all know who he is? The sea water where Shen Yourong killed the Japanese pirates turned red. This Inspector Ding also killed red in the battle of Liaoluo Bay.  Yi was frightened when he heard the news!"
