After receiving Marin's reply, Charles II, the Duke of Guedes, was very excited. But immediately, he remembered the painful experience of being fooled by Marin on the issue of West Friesland. So, Charles II wrote to Marin - You go abroad...

In Charles II's opinion, pretending to be sick is not safe. Even if Marin pretends to be sick in bed, Maximilian I's messenger will come to visit him at the bedside. In this way, it will be easy to see through. Once this happens, Marin will have to send troops at the emperor's conscript. Therefore, it is best to not be in the country.

In addition, Charles II, Duke of Geders, was also afraid that Marin would be fooled and deceive him. Therefore, he made a request to let Marin go abroad for at least three months in the spring of 1507 and not stay in the country. In this way, Emperor Maximilian I could not find him and could not order the Grand Duchy of the North Sea to send troops.

After receiving the letter from Charles II, Marin had to praise the other party for being cautious. However, Marin had long planned not to get involved in this war. Moreover, it was already signed that Schwartz led more than 20,000 troops to accept the order employed by John II, Duke of Cliff. Even if he went abroad for three months after the Spring Festival, it would have no effect on the situation. Just so, Marin also planned to go to America in the spring to see it. Marin was still very curious about North America in this era. So Marin wrote a letter to Charles II, Duke of Gedes, who agreed to go abroad for three months after the spring plowing, and guaranteed to leave the European continent...

After receiving Marin's letter of commitment, Charles II, the Duke of Guedes, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Marin left the European continent, things would be much easier. Moreover, he was not a fool. If Marin did not leave, he would not take action... But even so, he still didn't know that he was still fooled by Marin... Marin, who had seen various contract traps in his later generations, was already full of octopus ink...

In his previous life, before graduating from college, in order to improve the level of self-protection of graduates and avoid falling into contract traps, Marin participated in the school's anti-contract trap training. The trick he played this time was just a small part of that training and later social experience...

...

At the same time, at Sheliao Island at the mouth of Keelung River in the northern part of Taiwan, Columbus's fleet finally arrived here...

Before this, Columbus tried to land on the western coastline of Taiwan. However, the local natives were very fierce. Columbus's fleet came to Dajia Creek and the mouth of Tamsui River to see the final destination. Before the anchor was finished, a group of natives picked up wooden sticks, bamboo poles and earthen bows and arrows emerged from the jungle...

Columbus was dissatisfied and wanted to lead people to compete with the natives, but was persuaded by Conte. After all, they came to find a place, not to fight. Besides, they were not going to deal with the indigenous plate armor. If they died to fight against a few indigenous people, it would be more than worth the loss...

So, Columbus ordered people to put away the anchor and continue sailing along Tai Island until he arrived at the Sheliao Island and Tongpan Island at the mouth of the Keelung River...

"It should be here. This big island called 'Dongfan Island' seems to have a big island at the mouth of this river." Columbus compared the sketch given by Marin for a long time and judged.

While Columbus and Kongtai were discussing fiercely whether this was the destination west of Sheliao Island and Tongpan Island, suddenly thick smoke rose from Sheliao Island, and something seemed to have happened...

"What's going on?" Columbus asked.

The first mate climbed up the mast and looked at it with a telescope, and came back to report:

"It seems that a small village on the island was attacked by a group of pirates!"

"Pirates? Are there many people?" Kong Tai asked cautiously.

"Not many, only a few dozen people, a boat. The pirates seemed to hold a slender scimitar, but they were very fierce... and they were all very short..." the first mate replied.

"The short stature...the slender scimitar...is it...the Japanese pirates?" Kong Tai said in confusion.

"No matter what he is, as the regular navy of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, let's teach these pirates a lesson!" Columbus was bored, and it looked like he was looking for someone to fight.

Kong Tai thought about it and said:

"Okay, let our musketeers take action..."

Then, the commander of the musket team, Wesset, who had demonstrated the musket gun to Guangzhou Ming officials, summoned 100 sailors who could use muskets on the ship and boarded the land with muskets and ammunition. At the same time, Kong Tai also asked 40 sailors to hold spears and boarded the land, divided into two strands to guard both sides of the muskets.

But the first thing these musketeers did after getting ashore was to light the fuse first... This is the trouble for the mesh gunners - it requires a certain amount of preparation time... At the same time, the mesh gunners need to be separated by 1 meter from each other to prevent the fuse from accidentally igniting the gunpowder of the people around them.

After 100 meshmen ignited the fuse, wrapped it around the left arm, and clamped its head on the meshmen, a large group of people ran into the eastern part of the island...

This group of people, including men and women, old and young, looks like refugees running for life... In fact, they are indeed refugees running for life...

Behind them, a group of pirates of about 30 people were chasing the group...

This group of pirates is very funny. Most of them are only one meter-50 meters tall, and most of them are still chewing legs. Because of their short legs, they were unable to catch up with the group of refugees who were running away... However, the group of people were very fierce. They waved their slender Japanese swords and shouted loudly in unfamiliar Chinese while running:

"You group of fat sheep dare to run away... When we, the great warriors, catch up with you, will all die..."

The 50 refugees who were escaping ahead, led by a group of old men, originally planned to escape southwest and plan to go into the water to swim to the island. After all, this place is not far from land. If the water is better, it may be able to escape to land alive. As for the poor water nature, it is left to fate...

However, the group of people who were escaping suddenly discovered that there seemed to be three large ships docked to the west of the island, and more than a hundred people came down from the ship, forming a formation, as if they were ready to fight against the enemy...

"Is it the soldiers of the court? How could they appear on Dongfan Island?" The old man in the lead thought in confusion from a distance.

But at this time, he had no time to think about it. Because the group of short-legged Japanese pirates behind him were about to catch up...

So the old man made a quick decision:

"Run west with me, the troops from the court may be ahead!"

The group of refugees were greatly motivated and forced themselves to run towards the formation formed by the sailors of the Beihai Kingdom in the western part of the island...

When they ran closer, the old man realized that these people were not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Because these people were all blonde and blue-eyed ghosts...

"Uncle Lao Gen, who are these people in front?" a young man asked nervously.

The leading old man named "Uncle Lao Gen" thought for a moment and said without hesitation:

"No matter who they are, we go and ask for help. If no one saves us, we may be killed by those Japanese pirates..."

"It makes sense..."

So, when approaching the battle formation of the sailors in Beihai Kingdom, the leading old man ran and shouted for help in the more standard Ming Dynasty's official language...

Wisset looked at Conte and asked for instructions:

"Sir Kongtai, how should we deal with it?"

Kong Tai frowned, but made a decision quickly:

"Help these refugees, but prohibit them from rushing to our own formation! Forget it... let me say it..." Kong Tai remembered after giving the order - these sailors did not understand Chinese.

So Kong Tai shouted to the group of refugees in Mandarin taught:

"Don't attack the military formation, come from the side!" After shouting, Kong Tai kept gestured to the refugees.

The leading old man understood and understood Kong Tai's gesture, and hurriedly said:

"Let's tilt to the south!" After saying that, he took the lead in running to the side of the battle formation. The group of refugees supported each other and followed the old man to the battle formation...

Without the cover of the refugees, a group of more than 30 sword-carried dwarfs suddenly appeared in front of the sailors of the Beihai Kingdom...

Looking at these funny little dwarfs, many sailors couldn't help laughing...

"Don't underestimate these short men. They have great martial arts skills!" Kong Tai scolded loudly. He heard from Marin that a little ghost in the east called Japan. Although the samurai in their country is short and has a strange walking posture, his martial arts skills are very good, and he is not ruthless when killing people...

At this time, the group of Japanese pirates also discovered the sailors of the Beihai Kingdom and began to discuss:

"Mr. Fujita, why are there a group of ghosts ahead? Should we withdraw?" A Japanese pirate leader hesitated.

A short samurai known as "Fujita" said confidently:

"Don't be afraid, although there are hundreds of those strangers, we are all the most powerful samurai warriors in the country of Taimae. Although we have few people, we can fight several people at one side! So, please follow me and let me sprinkle them!" These samurai warriors in the westernmost part of Japan's Reijima. The samurai country includes Hirado Island, the famous Japanese foreign trade center, but now the pirate king Wang Zhi is still a 5-year-old little boy and has not yet operated Hirado Island as its nest. Therefore, the current samurai country has not yet become a major maritime trade vassal, but it is still an ordinary vassal state. Of course, because of geography, the samurai country has not yet become a major maritime trade vassal state, but it is still an ordinary vassal state.

Characteristics: The Daiming Shaoye of the Himefa Kingdom sent this samurai leader named Kikujiro Fujita to take a pirate ship to the south to see if there was any chance to start. After all, before the rise of the pirate Wang Zhi, many of the trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty were transferred by the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Ryukyu Kingdom also became rich due to maritime trade. These samurai warriors from the Himefa Kingdom wanted to rob the Ryukyu Kingdom with mediocre force. However, they were accidentally blown to Taidao Island by the sea breeze. Seeing a village on Sheliao Island, they simply landed directly to fight the autumn wind...

"But, Fujita-kun, what is the iron pipe they hold in their hands? Why are they facing us?" A samurai asked in confusion. Although the Warring States Period of Japan had begun, there was no contact with the Portuguese, and no iron cannons appeared, so the samurai did not recognize muskets...

"Don't worry about him! I'll fight ten! Warriors, follow me! Say it!"

Wissett saw more than thirty fierce short men holding swords on the opposite side rushing to a distance of 60 meters, and he seemed to be almost ready to shoot. So he raised his command knife:

"First row preparation-"

"Fire—"
