In July, Fujian began to reclaim its farming early.

Compared with the Central Plains, the agricultural work in Fujian often started two months earlier. Since the Dutch invaded Penghu and fled to Xiamen, more and more refugees have increased.

At this time, Xiamen had more market terms among the people - Jiaheyu, Xiamen and Zhongzuo were all ways for the people to call this area.

Since the 22nd year of Wanli, the term Xiamen appeared in the documents of the court and officials, and became the official title of official.

In March this year, the British slaughtered local Indian tribes in Jameston, Virginia in order to better turn the local area into a colony.

After the Dutch came to Penghu, they were not much different to the local people, although they had not yet treated the Liao people in the Liaodong area.

In the eyes of these people, the Orientals are no different from the Indians, both of which are inferior races. Once the Ming Dynasty shows weakness, the Dutch will definitely think of turning this place into a colony.

Guangrou Haibo has not seen any fishermen for several months. Wherever the Dutch ships passed, the blue sea changed color and the ground was in chaos.

Thanks to the Ming Dynasty's court still alive, the Dutch did not do too much, and in order to win the Ming Dynasty's trade, they still maintained their basic human nature.

The sun is very bright on the sea, even a little dazzling.

What followed was the heat that was completely opposite to that of Liao.

At the port of Zhongzuo Suo (Xiamen), an 18-year-old boy with a dark face was standing on the board, waiting for the shipment to ship the goods.

Zheng Yiguan had been following his uncle Li Dan before, transporting goods between Japan and the Ming Dynasty and making profits.

The last time the death of the Tiqi in Suzhou was actually planned by Li Dan. Zheng Yiguan still remembered his feelings at that time. Seeing the Tiqi who were showing off his power was beaten to death, it was really relieved!

As for why he relieved his hatred, he didn't know at that time, but he felt relieved inexplicably.

Of course, two years have passed, and Zheng Yiguan’s idea is different from before, because he saw clearly the faces of the so-called righteous gentlemen of the Donglin Party in the Beijing News.

His idea was shaken. Perhaps it was wrong to kill Ti Qi at the beginning?

Just as he was thinking, a sound of cannons suddenly came from afar. Zheng Yiguan looked at the small Cangshan boat that was gradually sinking in the distance. He was stunned at first and said to himself:

"This sound is not like the firepower that pirates can have..."

"The red haired man is here-"

"The red-haired fan is here, run away!"

Passing by the panic shouts of sailors in the court of Zhongzuo, relieved Zheng Yiguan's doubts.

However, he did not have the fear of ordinary people, but instead sneered:

"Hang the flag of our Zheng family!"

With a command, the red pennant with the word "Zheng" written on it was hung high. This change also made the eight Dutch ships that were attacking were confused.

A Dutch admiral who literally translated as "Gaowenlu" in Dutch stood on the deck and was also very curious when he saw this scene.

He put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said amusingly:

"What is written on that flag?"

"Dear Admiral, this is the flag of Zheng Yiguan, a maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Last year, His Excellency Cohen, the chief of our East India Company, gave him the position of director."

"Zheng Yiguan, his name is as stupid as their skin color..."

Gao Wenlu nodded absent-mindedly, not knowing whether he could listen or not. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Can these ships be fought?"

After hearing this, the Dutch was stunned at first. Seeing that the admiral was so excited, he did not dare to disobey his wishes. After a while, he said embarrassedly:

"What the Chief Secretary means is to try not to attack the alliance family."

"Try not to do it, that's it to do it?"

Gao Wenlu laughed loudly, picked up the Qianli Mile Mile again, and specifically observed the appearance of Zheng's order flag at this time, and then said:

"Tell me my orders and those who hang these flags will be beaten."

The reason why he is so confident is that Gao Wenlu disdains the power of the navy in the Ming Dynasty today.

The same eight ships just attacked a group of Ming Dynasty merchant fleets that returned from the Spice Islands a few days ago.

The maritime merchant fleet had more than 200 ships, but they didn't even find a single hair.

Although this is just a merchant ship, the Royal Dutch merchant ships also have the power to fight in maritime business, and no country dares to underestimate them.

It was also a merchant ship, but the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were so vulnerable!

Such a ignorant and backward country does not conquer, but instead engages in negotiations and trade. Gao Wenlu thinks that His Excellency Cohen is simply squeezed out by the door!

The Ming Dynasty Maritime Merchant fleet that Gao Wenlu robbed a few days ago gave the Dutch a lot of sweetness.

It just so happened that the Fujian government has just changed its governor recently, so it has been delaying again and again on the issue of the Netherlands, and it is not very tough.

This also made Lei Yeshan, the commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet, despised him, believing that the Ming Dynasty was just a paper tiger, and like those Indian natives, he could not withstand a battle at all.

So, after Gao Wenlu's instigation, Lei Yeshan decided to take the initiative without hesitation and sent eight ships to block the port of Xiamen to give the Ming Dynasty a warning.

One of the reasons why Zheng Yiguan was fearless was that he had become nominal ally with Cohen, the chief of the Dutch East India Company.

According to Cohen's intention, as long as the ships with the Zheng Family Flag are hung, they will not be embarrassed by any colonial fleet under the Dutch East India Company.

Although the Zheng family's fleet was not afraid, the other maritime merchants were afraid.

The navy in the Zhongzuo Suo had already been in a slump and was unable to recover. When attacked by eight Dutch ships, it actually scattered and ran faster than the merchants.

When they ran, the entire port was powerless to resist.

Zheng Yiguan lay on the bed, listening to the sound of the Dutch fleet bombing the port ships outside, his face was calm, but his heart felt all kinds of feelings and could not be said.

"Peng!"

Suddenly, a wave of sky and earth shaking, and a shell actually hit the board of Zheng Yiguan’s ship!

Zheng Yiguan, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly woke up.

He struggled to sit up, looking confused, and was soon pulled to the deck by life and saw a hellish scene.

This Dutch fleet did not take their relationship with the Zheng family's allies seriously.

After a moment of dazed, a shell hit the board of the ship in front of Zheng Yiguan. A familiar seaman disappeared instantly and turned into a pile of minced meat.

There are also bloody and blood everywhere in the port. Looking around, countless ships were destroyed, emitting rolling black smoke and sank into silence.

"What's going on?"

"Yiguan, go quickly, these red-haired fans were blown up together!" Zheng Yiguan's fifth brother, Zheng Zhibao, was holding him tightly with tears on his face.

"Dog day Dutch!"

Zheng Yiguan's eyes were red, he roared, held his hands tightly, and was pulled by Zheng Zhibao to escape from the ship.

......

Half a month later, Zhongzuo Suocheng.

The new Fujian Governor Nan Juyi, who had just taken office in the past few days, was ordered to start negotiations with the Dutch on behalf of the court.

He looked at the red-haired men with smug faces in front of him, trying his best to control the ups and downs of his chest.

The diplomat and four followers in front of him were the negotiating delegation sent by the Dutch this time.

Today is the third day of the Dutch resolution on the trade between the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch's attitude is getting tougher and tougher. Nanju knows that it can no longer be delayed.

Whether to open a business or start a war, we need to make a decision today!

A Dutch diplomat stood beside him a Chinese-skilled translator. Every time he said, the translator of the title would repeat it in the same tone.

Just listen to him:

"You said it would take three days to consider it. This is the third day. If you don't give a clear reply, we will force your country to open up trade."

"Your port is still under our blockade!"
