    "Jeremy, good afternoon."

    "Chen, good afternoon."

    Second Lieutenant Jeremy saw that the Chinese Chen Dong who had come to the officer several times appeared at the port again, with a happy face.

    He likes this person, who always brings many gifts to himself and his subordinates every time he comes to visit.  Sometimes they are local specialties from Fujian, and sometimes they are just free money.

    As members of the East India Company, they took the risk to come here from the distant Netherlands, and did not hesitate to start a war with the Ming Dynasty in order to make a fortune.

    But obviously with the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army regaining Penghu and the East India Company¡¯s disastrous defeat in the Battle of Liaoluowan, the opportunities for making a fortune suddenly decreased.

    Especially after the mysterious disappearance of the huge and arrogant battleship "Viking", the employees of the East India Company were even more frightened, and they became increasingly afraid to go to sea easily.

    But it¡¯s better now. It is said that Governor Mr. Putmans signed some kind of contract with them, which will allow them to make huge profits.

    Especially this Ming Dynasty man named Chen Dong was even more generous.  In the shortest possible time, he became "good friends" with the Dutch.

    "I brought you some silk, really good silk." Chen Dong's words did not disappoint Second Lieutenant Jeremy and his companions: "Second Lieutenant, everything is on the ship, you can take your people to bring them  Moved down."

    "Thank you, my friend, for your generosity." Second Lieutenant Jeremy said sincerely: "My soldiers and I are very grateful to you. This makes us more hopeful for the days to come. Ah, this time you  How many days will you stay?¡±

    "Three days."

    "Okay, no matter how many days you stay here, we welcome you." Second Lieutenant Jeremy said with a smile. When he saw Chen Dong taking out his pass to show him, he waved his hand hurriedly: "No need, the pass is far away.  Your familiar and friendly face works. Ah, are there still sixty people? Okay, no problem, you can get off the boat in groups and have a good time."

    "Thank you, Lieutenant." Chen Dong said, turning his head and shouting to his boat: "Did you hear that? Everyone must abide by other rules when getting off the boat. You are not allowed to run around and cause trouble."

    Hongyi was busy unloading the goods, and the crew members were busy disembarking. Chen Dong pointed at the locals not far away who were having a fierce argument with the Hongyi soldiers: "What's wrong with them?"

    "A group of barbarians." Jeremy shrugged contemptuously: "Mr. Governor recently issued a special tax order specifically for cane sugar. As a result, these barbarians were unhappy. The one named Guo Huaiyi,  I always bring a group of people here to make trouble. I really don¡¯t understand why there is such a big difference if they are all the same as you. "

    Chen Dong smiled on his face and said silently in his heart that when that day comes, you will definitely know what the true people of the Ming Dynasty are

    There was a lot of commotion over there, and the leader, Guo Huaiyi, was talking loudly.  The Hongyi officer who was negotiating with him was arrogant and seemed unwilling to give in at all.

    Chen Dong had a smile on his face, knowing very well that it seemed that Brother Ding had an effect on Hong Yi's instigation here.

    Jeremy¡¯s attention was not there. He was completely attracted by the goods that Chen Dong brought to them on the ship. He hurriedly said a few words to Chen Dong, and then hurriedly walked to the ship to supervise his men in handling the goods.

    Someone from behind patted Chen Dong, and when he looked back, it was Xie Tian.

    Xie Tian nodded slightly towards him, turned around and left without saying a word.  Chen Dong understood, looked around, and followed him.

    When they came to a deserted corner, Xie Tian stopped and asked, "Is everything ready, sir?"

    "We are almost ready." Chen Dong said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you are training in siege techniques there day and night, and you are making good progress. Now our Penghu Navy warships are quietly gathering together. Once the time comes, we will launch an attack on Taiwan.  Attack with force!"

    "Where are your brothers?" Xie Tian asked, still expressionless.

    "All preparations have been completed." Chen Dong nodded: "These brothers are carefully selected and are the most loyal and reliable. Now they are very familiar with Hongyi, and they don't need special reports when they come and go. And every time I  When the officials come, they also deliberately arrange for some of them to spend the night in the city of Relanja. This will become a natural habit and will not appear too abrupt when a sudden attack occurs. "

    Xie Tian looked very satisfied.

    This plan to attack Taiwan is very risky. The brothers are simply putting their heads in their waistbands to take risks. The most important thing is whether Chen Dong and his group can successfully open the city of Relanja.?

    He looked to the side: "You go back this time and tell your Excellency that I have instigated Governor Putmans to collect a special tax on sugar, which has seriously caused dissatisfaction among the locals, and"

    His voice began to lower: "I have convinced Guo Huaiyi to start the incident on November 16th."

    Chen Dong was surprised. Guo Huaiyi started the incident on November 16th?  How did Xie Tian convince him?  If that is the case, then the Hongyi will have to devote a large part of their energy to deal with the rebellious Taiwanese, and the defense of Relanjia City will definitely be empty. This will add a few points to Penghu's ability to seize Taiwan.  Odds.

    In fact, it is not difficult to do such a thing.

    Guo Huaiyi likes to eat fish, especially raw fish without any cooking, which he regards as the most beautiful thing in the world.  Xie Tian arranged for Duan Saner to find a way to give a manipulated fish to Guo Huaiyi.  There was a strip of cloth in the belly of the fish. When Guo Huai ate half of it, he found the strip of cloth. To his surprise and joy, there were several words written on the strip of cloth:

    "The red barbarians are in chaos, and the high officials are rebelling; those named Guo will lead Taiwan."

    As soon as Guo Huai saw these twelve words, his heart was beating wildly.  He didn't dare to tell anyone else, so he quietly went to Xie Tian, ??who he considered a friend and the most knowledgeable, to discuss it.

    This was originally arranged by Xie Tian. When he saw the banner, he acted as if he was extremely surprised: "This is a hint from God. At present, the red barbarians are occupying high positions, doing evil, and rashly imposing a sugar tax, which has already caused the anger of heaven and earth.  One person raises his arms and shouts, and everyone responds, "The person named Guo will lead Taiwan." Isn't that what he's talking about?"

    Guo Huaiyi was ecstatic.

    He didn¡¯t have this ambition in the first place, but when something like this suddenly happened, was God really giving him a hint?

    Those with the surname Guo will lead Taiwan.

    There is nothing wrong with Taiwan being led by oneself.  Didn't Zheng Zhilong also grow from a small pirate to become such a big situation today?

    Hongyi suddenly imposed a large sucrose tax. Just as Xie Tian said, he put a perfect opportunity in front of him.
