"Brother... Earl, you... you actually speak English?"

Looking at Encos who was stutteringly looking at him, Yang Feng asked in confusion: "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with this?"

"No...no, I...I..."

Encos felt a little confused for a moment, and after a while he explained in a stuttering English: "Dear Earl, please forgive me, I was indeed rude just now."

Hearing Encos's speaking English worse than himself, Yang Feng frowned and waved his hand and said, "Forget it... let's communicate in the Ming Dynasty language!"

"Yes, dear Count!" Encore also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could speak some English, at best, he was at the same level as the two swords, which was not as fluent as the Ming Dynasty's official language. If Yang Feng really wanted to communicate with him in English, it would be a big problem. If there was a problem with his language barrier, it would be a big deal.

"Major Encos, let's talk about the serious business." Yang Feng said seriously: "I heard you have something to come to me. Can you tell me now?"

"Yes!" Encos knew that it was time to decide his destiny. Whether he was working as a hard worker in this strange country or being able to return to his hometown depends on his performance today. He took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Dear Earl, I went to Macau to meet the Portuguese Governor Stephen, Governor of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan), and I didn't expect to have a conflict with your country's navy, Penghu Islands, the Mission, so that our fleet commander, Lieutenant Colonel Rouen, was also killed in the conflict. I hope you can be generous and not to care about us, so that we wanderers who are far away from our hometown will return to our hometown."

Seeing Encos actually called the battle with the Fujian Navy a conflict in an understatement, Yang Feng couldn't help but sneer: "Major Encos, I want to ask, where is the place where you fight with our fleet?"

"In the Penghu Islands?" Encos replied.

Yang Feng continued to ask: "Is the Penghu Islands the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"

Encos hesitated for a moment before answering: "Yes!"

Yang Feng raised his voice: "Since you also know that the Penghu Islands are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, why do you attack the navies of other countries patrolling their own territory? Can I understand that this is an invasion of the Ming Dynasty by you Dutch people?"

"this……"

Encos was a little speechless. In fact, strictly speaking, in the Dutch, the Dutch were unwilling to recognize the Ming Dynasty's sovereignty over the Penghu Islands. However, because the Dutch fought a battle with the Ming Dynasty on the Penghu Islands during the Wanli period, the Ming army spent a lot of effort to drive the Dutch away from the Penghu Islands. Now, regardless of whether the Dutch admits it or not, it is an indisputable fact that the Penghu Islands are the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how much Encos denies it, it is useless.

Encos said reluctantly: "This is indeed our mistake, we are too impulsive. But we are willing to apologize to your country for this matter."

“Too impulsive?”

Seeing that the Dutch officer had turned a battle into a conflict and tried to fade it, Yang Feng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and slapped his right hand.

"Bang...shuh!"

As Yang Feng slapped, the coffee table on the right suddenly scattered on the ground and turned into a bunch of parts.

Yang Feng said angrily: "Sorry, I don't know how you Dutch people view war, but for our Ming Dynasty, war is a very serious and serious matter. Since you fired fire at the Ming fleet in my Ming Dynasty territory, it shows your attitude. Since you have the courage to start a war, you have to bear the consequences of the war. Come..."

"What are your instructions?" With Yang Feng's shout, the two fully armed servants standing outside the door immediately walked in from outside and saluted Yang Feng.

Yang Feng pointed at Encore and said, "Take him out for me!"

"Yes!" The two servants responded loudly, walked over and grabbed Encos' arm and was about to take him away.

Seeing this, Encos thought Yang Feng was going to order his death. He was so scared that he struggled desperately, and while struggling, he shouted: "Sir Earl... you can't kill me. When I surrendered, the admiral said that we should ensure the safety of our lives and private property. You cannot violate the agreement!"

"Execute you?" Yang Feng was stunned at first, then said angrily and amusedly: "If you think too much, I will not kill you, but you will pay the price for your actions. From now on, you will work in the mine for ten years."

"What... have been in the mine for ten years?"

Hearing this, Encos struggled even harder. Don't he know? In the colony, absenteeism means one foot stepping into the gates of hell. There are only a few people who can hold on to the harsh environment and high-intensity work in the mine. Most people can live for at most three years when they are absenteeism, and it would be great if they can last for five years. If Yang Feng said, he would be in the mine for ten years, he would probably be broken by that time.

What...How did Encos know? This is very simple, because the Dutch did it themselves, and Encos didn't think that the mining environment in Ming Dynasty would be much better than them.

"Your Excellency, don't send me a mine. I have important things to report to you. I have important things to tell you!"

Looking at Encos who was struggling desperately, Yang Feng waved his hand to the two servants and said, "Wait, let him come."

Encos, who was let go of his hands by two servants, collapsed on the ground and gasped as if he had escaped from the gates of hell. After a while, Yang Feng said coldly: "What you said is best that I am interested in, otherwise I don't mind letting you know the consequences of cheating me."

Encos, who was frightened, waved his hands repeatedly: "Dear Earl, I will never dare to deceive you. I will tell you everything. The reason why I went to Macau with Lieutenant Colonel Encos this time was that he was commissioned by Zheng Zhilong to mediate the conflict between him and the Portuguese. Last time he robbed several Portuguese merchant ships with his men, and after angering the Portuguese, the Portuguese surrounded him everywhere..."

Encos told the deal between him and Zheng Zhilong in a simplified manner, and even the matter of giving twelve warships and sixty cannons to Zheng Zhilong was told in a clean manner like a bamboo tube.

Although Yang Feng listened to Encos' words, his expression on his face had not changed, he was very surprised. He did not expect that Zheng Zhilong would collude with the Dutch so deeply. After pondering for a while, he stared at Encos and asked solemnly: "Tell me honestly now, why do you support Zheng Zhilong at such a high price, and even go to Macau to put pressure on the Portuguese for him? Don't tell me, that's because you Dutch are all bodhisattvas."

Although Encos couldn't understand what a Bodhisattva heart was, he knew that this was definitely not a good thing, but he was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Seeing Encos hesitant, Yang Feng suddenly shouted angrily: "Say!"

"I...I..."

Encos almost collapsed to the ground again. He was already scared to death and finally decided to invade the Ming Dynasty in full swing. For this reason, Zheng Zhilong was selected as their spokesperson for the Ming Dynasty, so that Zheng Zhilong would attack the vanguard in the future, and implemented the policy of using China to control China, so as to gain greater benefits for the Netherlands. After Zheng Zhilong failed to attack Xiamen, they suffered heavy losses and sent boats to strengthen Zheng Zhilong's strength while fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this, Yang Feng was both angry and funny. The Dutch people's ambitions were really big, and they were not stupid. They actually came up with a way to control China with China. But they were too naive. Do the Dutch think that with 20,000 or 30,000 troops and Zheng Zhilong, a person who was changing with the wind, could they conquer the Ming Dynasty? They underestimate the Ming Dynasty too much?

Encos said while secretly looking at Yang Feng's face. What disappointed him was that Yang Feng's face had always been calm and there was no fluctuation, which made him lose his thoughts about Yang Feng's vision.

Until Encos almost peeked at the next door's aunt taking a bath when he was ten years old, and when he was thirteen, he said everything about having sex with the village flower in the neighboring village. He had his mouth fucked. Yang Feng nodded, "Okay, let's do it for now. You go back to the prisoner-of-war camp first. If you have any questions, I will send someone to call you."

Encos said with a flattering smile: "Your Excellency Earl, you see that I have already told you everything I know. Can you put us back? Of course, we will pay you gold coins according to the rules."

"You want to redeem yourself?" Yang Feng's face showed a smile.

"Yes, this is the rule we Obaro people for hundreds of years, and I hope you can allow us to redeem ourselves."

Yang Feng seemed not to see Qi Yi in Encos's eyes: "No, at least not yet. I still haven't thought about some things. I will tell you my decision after I think about it."
