Borrow the day to change the day

As soon as Liu Xingzuo saw Xing Guogong's posture, he understood what it meant.He immediately reported to Zhong Jinwei: "Duke, after the contact some time ago, Lord Ruan in the south of Jiaozhi and Lord Zheng in the north both intend to exchange food for my Daming flintlock. But when the Ruan family in the south was about to reach an agreement, The Dutch appeared and sold arms to Nguyen first."

"The Ruan family urgently needed firearms to defeat the Zheng family in the north. They couldn't wait for our armaments, so they bought them from the Dutch. Another reason is that our side ordered to use food in exchange, but the Dutch are nothing worthwhile. Everything is fine."

Speaking of this, Liu Xingzuo deliberately added: "The current Ruan family in the south is also a sensible person. For them, armaments are important, but food is also indispensable. Therefore, under the resonance of these situations, problems have arisen."

Zhong Jinwei frowned when he heard this, the Dutchman was always in trouble with Daming.The lessons learned from the last invasion of the Jiangnan area were not enough, and now they are making trouble again.

He thought for a while, and said to Liu Xingzuo: "Tell me about the specific situation of the Dutch."

"The Dutch had two warships, and under the guise of needing supplies, they approached the port controlled by Ruan. Then they got in touch with Ruan through the Western missionary Alexander Rhodes as an intermediary. When the Dutch knew that Ruan was in urgent need of firearms, A transaction request was made."

When Liu Xingzuo said this, he deliberately led the Duke to the Jiaozhi map, and pointed at the Dutch with a thin stick.

Then he continued to report: "The Jinyiwei Qianhu who was there at the time, Yu Haijing, made amends and assassinated Alexander Rhodes, but it was too late."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, his old acquaintance Yu Haijing was active there and even assassinated a missionary.I thought to myself that this task is suitable for him to do, but although he used the means of his original quack, it was still a bit late.It didn't work, which is a pity.

In fact, this assassination operation was not without effect. In the original history, this Rhodes created the Vietnamese national language characters, replacing the original characters of Jiaozhi and Chinese characters.Fortunately, this situation will not happen now.

Of course, this unexpected result, in this plane, no one will know.

Zhong Jinwei thought about the information reported by Liu Xingzuo, and reconfirmed: "That is to say, there are only two warships for the Dutch in Jiaozhi?"

"According to the feedback from the other side, it is indeed the two bows. They stop at this port." Liu Xingzuo led Xing Guogong to the sand table and pointed to the port model above.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the sand table and didn't speak, just thinking about things.As soon as Liu Xingzuo saw it, he said the plan he had thought of: "So the lower officials thought that instead of letting the Dutch do bad things in Cochin, it is better to use the undercover Jin Yiwei among the pirates to guide the pirates to attack the Dutch warships."

After speaking, he looked at Zhong Jinwei, waiting for his decision.

But Zhong Jinwei did not give a conclusion on his suggestion, but asked another question: "How is Jin Yiwei's undercover situation among pirates?"

The Duke could not make a conclusion, and Liu Xingzuo had no choice but to answer Zhong Jinwei's question: "The pirates who fled into Southeast Asia have a total of sixteen forces, and eight of them are the most powerful pirates. Jin Yiwei undercovered these eight pirates. There are both in the faction, but there are only two people who become the big bosses."

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, then shook his head at Liu Xingzuo and said, "It's still what I said just now, use Jin Yiwei among the pirates as an undercover agent, and don't do it unless it is absolutely necessary. Your proposal will not work, and I don't agree."

When he finished speaking, he saw the doubt and unwillingness on Liu Xingzuo's face, and knew that he didn't explain the reason clearly, so he would not be convinced.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei explained to Liu Xingzuo: "The reason why I said this is not my arbitrary conclusion."

"Don't dare." Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo quickly expressed his opinion.

Regardless of his statement, Zhong Jinwei gave him an analysis: "First, Jin Yiwei's undercover strength is not strong. If this power is used to guide the pirates to attack the Dutch warships, I don't know if they will go, even if the pirates do go. I don’t know if it will be successful or not; if it succeeds, I don’t know how much it will benefit the pirates; this kind of business is not worthwhile for the pirates. If Jin Yiwei’s undercover agent is active, he may be suspected of his intentions .”

"Secondly, I, Da Ming, was deployed among the pirates so early, and entered Jinyiwei as an undercover agent. I focused on the whole of Southeast Asia, not just one place in Jiaozhi. If it was all exposed in the matter of Jiaozhi, it would be very uncomfortable for me, Da Ming. Good deal."

Liu Xingzuo kept nodding slightly while listening to Duke Xingguo's eloquence.But at the same time, his brows also wrinkled.

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo couldn't help asking: "Duke, if you don't use Jin Yiwei as an undercover agent, the Dutch will always influence Jiaozhi Ruan. Then what should I do about my plan for Jiaozhi?"

Zhong Jinwei looked at the port model on the sand table, but did not speak.After a while, he suddenly asked, "Have the two warships of the Dutch stayed here?"

After speaking, he touched the sand table with his finger.

"Yes, Duke. The Dutch seem to be plotting to make a deal. They didn't just want to make a deal and leave. Therefore, they have been staying there and have no intention of leaving." Liu Xingzuo quickly replied.

Zhong Jinwei clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, I have an idea."

With such a loud voice, not only Liu Xingzuo, but even Zhong Jinwei's guards scattered in the lobby looked at him.

"Duke, what's the best plan?" Liu Xingzuo frowned and asked in surprise.

Zhong Jinwei smiled, went to the desk and sat down, then raised his head and said to Liu Xingzuo who followed him: "You send news to Jin Yiwei, an undercover agent among the pirates, and let them encourage all pirates to buy food in Southeast Asia, whether it is for buying or not. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you grab it or not, as long as you can get food, you can bring it to Daming in exchange for flintlock guns and artillery.”

Liu Xingzuo was fully expecting the Duke to tell him how to deal with the Dutch, but when he heard such words, he felt empty in his heart, as if he was about to vomit blood.

At the same time, he didn't understand what Duke Xing said, so he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Guo, why?"

Zhong Jinwei stretched out a finger and said: "First, Daming is in urgent need of food. Although I have already added double insurance, it is good to add a third insurance just in case."

Then Zhong Jinwei stretched out another finger and said: "Secondly, the pirates have my Ming's guns and artillery, and their force in Southeast Asia will be stronger. The more chaos they make in Southeast Asia, the better for my Ming Dynasty."

In the end, Zhong Jinwei stretched out a finger and said, "Thirdly, let Jin Yiwei's undercover agent pass this food-for-arms exchange, completely rise to the top, control the most pirate forces, and secretly serve my Ming Dynasty."
