Blood from Daming

Chapter 512 He Bin
The Dutch commander Gao Wenlu knew that it would not be a problem to procrastinate like this. He and his commander Mattisunke lived on a needle mat in Promincia Castle. Report it to Chief Marty Sunke for a decision, as to whether it will be successful or not is not a matter of your own heart.

So Gao Wenlu gritted his teeth and said, "General Yan, please quote a price. I will report the price to the chief. As for whether it will be successful or not, I will be helpless."

Xue Yun said: "This general is a rough man, not very good at settling accounts, you go back and tell Matty Sunke, don't do things too badly, it will harm the children and grandchildren, tell him to show sincerity, open If there is an appropriate labor compensation price, we will immediately make a deal and start exchanging prisoners."

Gao Wenlu said: "Very well, General Yan, I will take my leave."

Xue Yun said: "General Gao, why don't you go after lunch."

Gao Wenlu hurriedly said no, turned around and flew away. Xue Yun smiled at He Bin and said, "Come on, let's continue drinking."

He Bin said: "General Yan, the students have already eaten enough, why don't you go to the general's camp to see how mighty Xue's army is."

Xue Yun said: "Okay, the south is closer, let's go to the south, and by the way, we have seen the Dutch prisoners undergoing labor reform."

Accompanied by Xue Yun, He Bin left the "Yangtze River" in a small boat with the officers and soldiers of Xue's army camp, and took a boat to the shore where Xue's army built the city. On the construction site of the castle, the north wall of Promincia Castle facing the Dutch is almost capped.

He Bin knew that Xue Yun, the leader of the Xue family army, was in Datong, Shanxi, and it was said that he was still ill. However, the general Yan in front of him was Xue Yun's brother-in-law, but he had never heard of it, and this general Yan was not a woman disguised as a man. , He Bin was a little puzzled. If General Yan's manner of speaking and demeanor was in line with Xue Yun's identity, would Xue Yun pretend to be a concubine's surname?

He Bin thought it was unreliable, so he picked up his mood and focused on Xue Jiajun's fortification site. Sure enough, he saw a lot of foreigners with high noses doing the dirtiest and tiring work, and they were very active; Taiwan's Pingpu Fan is also participating in labor. He Bin sighs secretly that Xue's army has gradually captured the people of Taiwan in less than a month. This Xue's army is indeed Shibazhi's strongest opponent.

He Bin seized the opportunity to ask Xue Yun: "General Yan, I have admired Xue's army's unparalleled grenades and explosives for a long time. I didn't know that the students had no chance to see them."

Xue Yun smiled, and asked Wang Erwa to give some instructions, and Wang Erwa immediately went to arrange a performance of grenade and explosive packs. Xue Yun accompanied He Bin in an open space and waited to watch the performance of Xue Jiajun soldiers. In Xue Yun's heart, he also hoped that through the performance of grenades and explosives, He Bin and Zheng Zhilong's group could be shocked, and Xue Yun's army could win precious time in the war against the Dutch.

The first performance was that Xue Jiajun soldiers put several large wooden boxes. The soldiers stood at a distance of about [-] steps. In the ditch at the foot, "boom" "boom" "boom" "boom" "boom", several large wooden boxes in the distance were blown to pieces.

He Bin looked a little ugly when he saw it. Xue Yun pretended not to see it, and ordered the soldiers to perform a show of explosives. Soon, several soldiers of the Xue family army held an explosives bag each, and they put them collectively in the recess of a boulder, and then connected the fuse and ignited it. , several soldiers of the Xue family army quickly ran away from the boulder and hid in a deep ditch. With a loud "boom", the boulder was blown to pieces, and stones of various sizes collapsed on the ground.

He Bin was irritated by the grenade just now, but now seeing the power of the explosive package, the grenade is simply insignificant. In his heart, he is envious and afraid of Xue Jiajun's grenade and explosive package, and more of it is greed. Knowing that it was impossible, he still had the cheek to ask Xue Yun if he could send or sell a line of grenades and explosives to Shibazhi marine merchants.

Xue Yun secretly thought that Shibazhi and these pirates were shameless, and they just wanted to fight together as pirates, but they turned into maritime merchants when they turned around. Xue Yun replied unceremoniously: "Boss He, how can a country's sharp weapon be shown lightly to others."

He Bin was very embarrassed and said, "General Yan, it's a pity that the students can't use such a sharp weapon."

Xue Yun said with a smile: "If the leader is willing to serve the court, fame and fortune will come easily, so what are these grenades and explosives?"

He Bin's heart moved when he heard this, but he said haha: "General Yan, the students have long been accustomed to begging for a living at sea, so the matter of being an official has been taken lightly."

Xue Yun said with a smile: "Hasn't Chief He ever thought that one day he will sail the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty and spread the country's prestige thousands of miles overseas? This general has heard that France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands have countless wealth, beautiful women like clouds, and a man's life should be like this, which is better than today's Wanhuhou."

He Bin felt itchy when he heard this, thinking that there are countless Western beauties surrounding him, maybe these beauties are all princesses, or even queens, then life is really not in vain, it's a pity that in the blink of an eye Finding out that he was still a red guy floating on the sea, he secretly sighed in his heart, this General Yan is especially good at joking, let me draw cakes to satisfy my hunger.

It happened that Xue Yun wanted to tease He Bin. When Xue Yun entered the dinner, a beautiful Western beauty appeared beside him, which made He Bin greedy, but seeing General Yan and the Western beauty Qingqing, I knew that I could only feast my eyes. I had no choice but to bury my head and eat faster, preparing to leave this embarrassing place earlier.

He Bin returned to his boat with Xue Yun's gift to Shibazhi, and sat there alone sighing. He Bin spent a lot of money in Guangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places in the past few years. After playing with dozens of Western women, now that I think of them, all of them are as stupid as pigs, as fat as a big bucket, and as old as my own mother. He Bin is ashamed There was no place to put his face, and he hurriedly signaled to leave without waiting for the boat to sail at dawn the next day, and even fled overnight.

He Bin left and Xue Yun didn't care, anyway, he stimulated He Bin severely, and then slowly saw if there was any effect; the Dutchman Gao Wenlu came to Xue Yun's boat "Yangtze River" once a day for the next few days Xue Yun reluctantly agreed, but Xue Yun asked Gao Wenlu to go back and let Matty Sunke send all the original materials about these coolies to Xue Jiajun for record.

When Gao Wenlu learned that General Yan really wanted to send the gold coins to these coolies and their survivors, he was really moved. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with General Yan to deal with the aftermath, and said that tomorrow he would send [-] gold coins to Spain. The gold coins were sent to General Yan, thus launching the long-awaited captive exchange plan.

Sure enough, the next day Gao Wenlu brought gold sand and gold wares worth 300 Spanish gold coins, so the prisoner exchange between Xue Jiajun and the Dutch officially kicked off. In this way, more than 1000 Dutch people returned to Promincia Castle, and more than [-] coolies from the Ming Dynasty also returned to Xue Jiajun to regain their new life.

Fearing that these coolies would have contagious diseases, Xue Yun ordered Wang Erwa, Lian Xiongwei, and Ji Tianen to set up a simple camp a few miles away from the southern military camp. Medical officer Lu was responsible for the sanitation and quarantine of these coolies, and waited for the coolies to recover. After recovering and no diseases were found, these coolies were allowed to integrate into the environment of Xue Jiajun.

Next, Matty Sunke seemed to have found the key to the peace between the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty, and frequently offered Xue Yun an olive branch of peace. First, he proposed a package of economic and military cooperation between the Dutch East India Company and the Xue Family Army of the Ming Dynasty, but was politely rejected by Xue Yun. After that, Matty Sunke proposed that his birthday was coming, and he wanted to take Liya back to celebrate his birthday.

Xue Yun asked for Liya's opinion, but Liya herself was hesitant. After Gao Wenlu met Liya, Matty Sunke sent Liya a gift worth a thousand dollars the next day, saying that Liya married General Yan , Liya's natal family's dowry, Liya was greatly moved, and resolutely decided to go back to Promincia Castle to attend her uncle's birthday party.

Although Xue Yun had some regrets about Liya's return to Promincia Castle, Xue Yun also understood Liya's relationship and family affection, and believed that Matty Sunke would at most engage in a tender offensive, and would not do anything that would make him angry. Xue Yun In order to save face for Liya, Yun prepared [-] boxes of gold, jewelry, silk, porcelain, tea and other valuables for Liya. All kinds of jewelry and treasures are for Liya to reward relatives and friends in Promincia Castle.

Liya returned to Promincia Castle for three days before she came back. She also brought back a foreign lady and two foreign girls. Liya finally had her own circle of life. Xue Yun could only shake his head with a wry smile. It is planned to establish a small circle of Dutch life for Liya, but the choice of personnel should not come from the people in the castle of Promincia.

In this way, Xue Yun and Marty Sunke officially became relatives, and the personnel from both sides came and went with each other. Except for Matty Sunke who insisted on refusing to leave Promincia Castle, Xue Yun was determined to win the entire island of Taiwan. Everything is very harmonious, and I don't feel that there have been several very fierce battles here.
