After the Netherlands occupied Ryukyu, they recruited many Han people as their staff.

These people are collectively called "Common Affairs". On the surface, as the name suggests, Common Affairs is actually a bridge between the Netherlands and local natives and Han people, or the duties of a secretary.

But because of language barriers, many things are managed through easy-to-use things.

This Gu Kai is one of the local tribes and soon becomes like a paint and glue with the Netherlands.

Even Gu Kai's arrival was different from other Han people who refused to cooperate. Deep in his heart, he hoped that the Netherlands would rule here for generations.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty court also sent officials to manage it, and it also attached great importance to a large family like the Gu family. However, after all, the language is the same and the customs are the same. Although the civil and military officials sent there will indirectly transfer some power to the Gu family, they will still manage it directly to some extent.

The Netherlands are different. The Netherlands only care about commercial interests. They do not seek to establish so-called orderly rule here, and they even want to outsource the lawsuits and collection of money and grain from local natives to the Gu family.

Anyway, as long as you deliver the money and food that the Dutch people should receive on time.

Therefore, a large family like the Gu family can gain greater local authority by relying on the reasons why the colonists such as the Netherlands could not directly manage it.

When the bad news came, Gu Kai was also shocked. He originally thought that the Netherlands was impoverished. After all, he witnessed the forts and forts built by the Netherlands with his own eyes.

I never thought that it was so vulnerable.

When I think of the government army as it may be killed.

Although Relanzha City is strong, the Gu family's family business is outside Relanzha City, Gu Kai is as anxious as an ant in the hot pan.

At this time, Gu Kai was speechless in the face of Coen's reproach. What does this have to do with him?

However, he knew the other party's nature very well. He could only bear the blame, so he said in a stuttering Dutch language: "The Ming Dynasty's official army is indeed incredible. This matter... has many mysteries. Governor, the problem now is that we need to figure out where these people come from and who they are. Only now, we know nothing about them, so we have the attitude of ignoring one another."

Coen calmed down, and his azure eyes stared at Gu Kai deeply: "So what's your idea?"

"First, we must be prepared to persevere. The Ming Dynasty's official army went deep alone, but from the perspective of students, they may have become the last of their strength at this time. The second is to understand the reality of the official army, how many people they have, and how can they be as powerful as they can go all the way."

Coen looked at Gu Kai, nodded and said, "You are right."

Gu Kai also said: "Students are willing to enter the Ming army and explore the reality of the virtuality."

Coen said in surprise: "You are here to be a messenger?"

“That’s right.”

Cohen thought for a while and said, "They are of the same clan as you..."

Gu Kai immediately said openly: "Please ask the Governor to give a clear explanation. The Gu family has served the Netherlands for twenty years. In the past twenty years, there have been five Governors serving. All Gu family members work diligently and dare not neglect. From the beginning of their parents, they have been giving advice for the Netherlands and working together in local affairs. Why does the Governor doubt our loyalty?"

He complained in his heart that these people were talking directly.

However, Gu Kai actually likes this method. If the other party is not direct but hides these suspicions in his heart, he will not be able to deal with them.

Now, since you have made it straight to the point, I have made it straight to the point too.

So he continued: "Now that the Gu family has done so many things for the Netherlands, it has long been regarded as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh. The Governor, they hate the Gu family, and they hate the Netherlands very much. How dare the students bully the Governor, you?"

After hearing this, Cohen felt it made sense.

If someone in the Netherlands had an affair with other countries, they would probably be hated by the Netherlands so much that they gritted their teeth.

So he smiled and said, "I don't mean that. Well, you're right. What you should do most now is to understand their true situation. Then Gu Tongshi, as an envoy, go to their place and understand their situation."

So Gu Kai hurriedly agreed and praised Coen again.

But Cohen was worried at this time.

When Gu Kai left, he quickly picked up his quill and compiled several letters. One of them was sent to the Spanish Governor in northern Ryukyu, hoping that they could do everything possible to support Rhelanzhe.

…………

After receiving the order, Gu Kai returned to his other restaurant in Relanzhe without stopping, but someone had been waiting here. As soon as he saw him come back, many people came to greet him.

Most of these people are shawls and Confucian shirts.

Some are local tribes.

There are also people who are the Jiangnan clans who moved south with their families after the accident in Jiangnan.

They took advantage of this Ryukyu to live in, and many people began to cooperate with the Netherlands. Originally, when European coalition forces came here, many people celebrated each other and felt that they had greater hope of moving back to Jiangnan.

Some people also believe that if the Netherlands can occupy the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty in the future, they are afraid that there will be more places to borrow from them in the future.

Therefore, a group of frustrated literati, coupled with a group of local tribes, talk about state affairs here almost every day.

Now that the terrible news has come out, many people are unsure of it, and naturally they start to worry.

Knowing that Gu Kai was summoned by the Governor, everyone was waiting here to see if there was any news.

At this time, when Gu Kai came back, someone immediately rushed forward and said, "Brother Gu, what's the situation?"

Gu Kai just smiled bitterly and said, "Even the Governor General doesn't know what happened. He only knows that the port and Chichi City have fallen, and the losses are heavy. The Netherlands are retreating step by step, and the situation is not optimistic."

"How could it be so far? It's probably the Donglin Army again. But where did the damn Donglin Army come from? The navy is so powerful." An old Confucian scholar with white hair couldn't help but sigh with a bitter face: "Lu Chen, Shenzhou, isn't this Ryukyu, there is no place for us to stay in?"

There are also many people who beat their chests and fall down, some scold them, while others have a silence and remain silent.

Gu Kai also sighed and said quietly: "At this moment, I can only take one step at a time."

Immediately, I ordered my family and guards to prepare to leave the city that day.

A day later, he was discovered by the scout of the Donglin Army. When Gu Kai saw the other party's clothing, he understood in his heart that everyone's guess was indeed correct, and the one who came was Donglin Army.

Gu Kai soon met Zhang Jingyi.

However, the way he saw him was a little embarrassed. He was tied up and sent to Zhang Jingyi.

Logically speaking, he should be a messenger and should be treated as a messenger, but the other party obviously was not willing to admit it.

Zhang Jing and his soldiers walked all the way. The Relanzha was already far away. When he heard that some messenger had arrived, he actually had no fluctuations in his heart. He just sent this person to him. When he saw Gu Kai, he said bluntly: "Has the Lobbyist from the Netherlands come?"

Since entering the camp, Gu Kai saw that the Donglin Army was full of energy and energy, and he did not feel tired of the hard work of the expedition. In addition, he had heard a lot of hearing about the Donglin Army who had entered Nanjing and knew the power of these people in his heart.

Therefore, although he was tied up, he actually bowed to Zhang Jing and said, "Governor of the Netherlands Cohen... he did ask the students to come to see the governor for their envoy."

Zhang Jingyi didn't even look at him and said coldly: "What do he have to say?"

"It's nothing, just let the students adapt."

Zhang Jingyi looked at him coldly: "Then how do you plan to adapt to the situation?"

Seeing this, Gu Kai said with fear and fear, "Students...students...do they dare to have any idea of ​​adapting to changes. Students have been famous for a long time. The general's name is well-known. It is a lifelong wish to see the governor today."

I originally thought that if Zhang Jingyi said this, he would let someone loosen his ties, then do something, give him a seat, drink tea, and call him sir.

but……

Obviously, Gu Kai was disappointed again.

Zhang Jingyi still had the expression of you as if you owe me money, saying that you are as cold as you are.

Zhang Jingyi said slowly: "What about?"

Then……

This guy seems to speak more directly and more naked than the Dutch.

To be honest, for Gu Kai, a great family, speaking like this is a huge humiliation.

But after this humiliation once or twice, I gradually got used to it.

He looked even more trepidated and said respectfully: "This time the governor is here... the students... are not very pleased. The students are alone overseas and are looking forward to the governor for a day..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Jingyi interrupted him and said, "If I guess right, you are a Dutchman, right?"

When Gu Kai heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was alert in his heart and couldn't help but guess. Obviously, there were many detailed works of the Ming Dynasty in this Ryukyu.

He said with a little embarrassedly: "Yes."

Zhang Jingyi still looked at him coldly and said bluntly: "Since it is a common cause, it is a cattle and horse for the Netherlands, why is it still in love with the homeland now?"

"This..." Gu Kai felt even more embarrassed and could only bite the bullet and said, "That's an urgent matter. Student..."

Zhang Jingyi interrupted him again and said, "Are you talking to the Netherlands on behalf of the Dutch?"
