    This blow must be severe and must kill!

    When he heard this sentence, Zhu Yuqian's eyes lit up.  But then he dimmed again and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not the center of the imperial court, so I can't say or do anything. Now I'm not even as good as you, the general manager, so why should I talk about national affairs again? Ridiculous, ridiculous."

    There is nothing pretentious about saying this, it seems to come from the heart.

    Ding Yunyi thought again that before he invited him to drink, he had to get permission from two of his attendants. Could it be that this person was actually a prisoner?  But seeing how he followed, he treated him respectfully and did not dare to neglect him at all.

    What happened?

    I thought about it for a while, but I couldn¡¯t figure it out.

    "Third brother"

    While talking there, Qin Yun's voice sounded outside.

    The two followers in front of Zhu Yu stopped Qin Yun, and Qin Yun looked confused.  This is my own military camp. How could two strangers appear from nowhere and not let me enter my own place?

    "Let him come in." It was Zhu Yuqian's majestic voice that made the two followers give way.

    As soon as Qin Yun walked in, he saw a stranger chatting with Ding Yunyi. He was startled for a moment, and Ding Yunyi asked, "What's the matter?"

    "General Manager Ding." Seeing that there were outsiders, Qin Yun restored the title of "General Manager": "Hongyi sent someone to ask for a meeting."

    "Hongyi sent people to ask for an audience?" Ding Yunyi said it out in front of Zhu Yu.

    "Yes, here is Paula Wockadek, the special envoy of the Red Barbarian Governor-General Hans Putmans!"

    "It turns out to be Putmansi." Zhu Yuqian smiled contemptuously: "This man is arrogant and domineering. As a result, in the battle of Liaoluowan, he was beaten by our Ming Dynasty Navy and lost his armor. Even his commander-in-chief's Wu Sha was also beaten.  Lost it. This is how Mr. Ding became famous, right?¡±

    He said it casually, showing that he was very familiar with these things.

    Ding Yunyi didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, so he thought for a moment: "Ask him to wait outside, just say that I am discussing business matters and don't have time to see him for the time being."

    "yes."

    Qin Yun agreed and was about to go out when he was stopped by Ding Yunyi: "Go to Hong Shou Bei and tell him that there are guests tonight. Please ask Hong Shou Bei to catch more fish."

    Qin Yun blinked and immediately understood the meaning of Ding Yunyi's words.

    Hong Tiaoyuan was cautious. When he heard that Hongyi was sending people, he must see them immediately.  Ding Yunyi wanted to let people hold Hong Tiaoyuan back.

    "Hong Tiaoyuan is more cautious than courageous." Zhu Yuqian actually saw Ding Yunyi's intention at a glance, and he was no stranger to Hong Tiaoyuan: "It would be good not to let him get involved.  But I wonder if I can ask General Ding to tell me to let Zhu stay here?"

    ¡°This person either did enough homework before coming to Penghu, or he is very concerned about places like Fujian and Taiwan. Ding Yunyi thought silently in his heart, but with a smile on his face: ¡°Gentlemen, it¡¯s okay to just sit down.¡±

    As he spoke, he poured wine into the empty bowl: "You and I just drink, and let the Hongyi envoy wait outside slowly."

    Zhu Yuqian toasted him with a bowl of wine: "The red barbarians are also hateful. Back then, the barbarian chief Song Ke commanded the fleet and left Penghu Fenggui. He came to the Taiwanese officials and pretended to be pitiful and offered to borrow a large cowhide  That's fine, but the shameless Hongyi actually divided a piece of cowhide into very thin leather lines and connected them to enclose the land. This is a 'piece of cowhide'."

    "One thought of benevolence will cause endless troubles." Ding Yunyi frowned tightly: "The Hongyi first occupied Kunyu, and they were carrying out large-scale construction projects to build the city of Orange. They actually changed it to a state in the Netherlands and named it 'Re  Lanzhe City' has become the 'Governor-General' of the Netherlands in Taiwan. The inner city has been completed, and the outer city is about to be completed. This will cause trouble for us to regain the governance of Taiwan in the future!"

    Zhu Yuqian sighed again and again: "The imperial court's focus is not on Taiwan right now. As long as the red barbarians are more peaceful, the imperial court will turn a blind eye and not distract energy at this time. But they never thought that they were raising tigers for trouble!"

    Ding Yunyi suddenly became arrogant: "If I have a fleet and land on Taiwan and attack it, I will definitely drive all the red barbarians out of Taiwan!"

    "You are so magnificent, Mr. Ding. I respect you!" Zhu Yuqian raised his bowl and praised loudly.

    The two of them drank the wine in the bowl and then refilled it, as if they would not stop until they were extremely drunk today.

    Ding Yunyi put down his wine bowl and looked thoughtful: "The sooner we drive away the Hongyi, the better, otherwise a large amount of our Ming Dynasty wealth will continue to flow to the Hongyi. The goods exported by the Hongyi from Taiwan every year are worth millions of guilders  ¡±

    "What is a Dutch guilder?" Zhu Yuqian asked curiously.

    ¡°That¡¯s Taiwan¡¯s currency, and it¡¯s the same as my Ming Dynasty¡¯s silver.it's the same.  "Ding Yunyi explained, then continued: "They exported rice, sugar, deerskin and vines from Taiwan to the Fuso Kingdom and even Persia; they transported metals and medicinal materials from their own country, and spices and pepper from Batavia.  , amber, tin, lead, cotton, and opium were exported to Fujian and other places via Taiwan; raw silk, porcelain, silk fabrics, gold and other goods from the mainland were then re-exported to Batavia or Western Europe via Taiwan.  This was completely unequal trade. The Netherlands plundered countless goods, and also made huge profits by extracting high taxes from merchants in Ming Dynasty, Japan, Nanyang and other places doing business in Taiwan.  The white money just fell into Hong Yi's pocket.  "

    "Hongyi is so rampant?" Zhu Yu's eyes showed anger.

    "It's more than that." Ding Yunyi sneered: "In the area ruled by the Red Barbarians, you have to pay rent for farming, you need to apply for a license for hunting and fishing, and you have to pay a poll tax for the population. Among the Red Barbarians, there is a man named Constantine No.  Bell, he called our people of the Ming Dynasty 'pig' and 'barbarians', and he was murderous. He personally killed more than a hundred of our people of the Ming Dynasty and died in Hongyi.  "

    "How unreasonable!" Zhu Yuqian was furious and shouted: "I only thought that the barbarians would occupy our Taiwan, but I was just greedy. Who would have thought that I would be so cruel? Do I really think that our Ming Dynasty has no one? Although I have no power, I also  I must risk my life to write a book and tell the Holy Spirit everything that happened in Taiwan!¡±

    Although this sentence is still concealing, his identity has been completely exposed.

    "Shangda Shengting"?  Does that mean he can convey his opinions to the current emperor at any time?

    Ding Yunyi did not show too much anger: "When you see the Hongyi envoy, gentlemen, you must not get angry. Just listen, don't speak, otherwise it will ruin my big event."

    Zhu Yuqian was startled, then nodded: "I'm just an outsider, and of course I won't get involved in Mr. Ding's affairs."

    Ding Yunyi laughed "haha" and poured all the wine in the bowl into his mouth: "Come here, bring me the Hongyi envoy!"
