When he heard this, Su Minggang, who was originally lying on the recliner, suddenly sat up, with a serious face, stared at the young man talking, and said sternly: "Fight? What are you fighting for?"

He suddenly became angry and shocked everyone. The lobby and the yard became very quiet. However, the crying sounds from outside became clearer.

Looking around the others, Su Minggang shouted seriously: "They are afraid that there is no excuse to attack us directly, so you are willing to hand over the knife? I will tell you that if we fight with them, we will not have a chance, we will only die faster and drag everyone down!"

Who doesn’t know how powerful the Dutch people are? They can all become the masters of this place when they come so far away and turn their backs on the enemy.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, the scene was depressed.

Only those young men, although they didn't speak, still looked very indignant.

When Su Minggang saw them, he stared at them and said, "Don't do stupid things. The Ming people in Luzon were eventually slaughtered by the Spanish because of someone resisting!"

"But... but are we bullied to death like this?" the young man roared unwillingly, and pointed his hand outside and said, "Did Brother Wang cause trouble on his own initiative? Now that there is no restaurant, what should he do if his family is old?"

Hearing this, Su Minggang stayed for a while, then sighed and said, "We are all Ming people, wandering outside, and we should work together. If you can, please help! Maybe... maybe we will be able to live a little better when the next governor takes office!"

Hearing this, sighs sounded inside and outside the lobby, expressing endless helplessness.

This is how the Chinese people are. If they can tolerate it, they will definitely tolerate it. Without a real dead end, few people will resist.

This is also regarded by Western colonists as a manifestation of "cowardice" by nature.

However, it will be different in later generations. Westerners often spread the theory of Chinese threat.

This change was made by the Chinese with fists, which made Westerners realize that the Chinese are not lambs to be slaughtered, but just a sleeping lion.

In the lobby, an old man with a gray beard suddenly said to Su Minggang: "Or, Brother Su will talk and let us go back? No matter how chaotic the country is, it is not much better to go here. It is better to die in your hometown even if you die!"

Seeing Su Minggang looking at him, he continued: "I know that money must not be taken away. I just want to have money and return to my hometown!"

After hearing this, the others also agreed.

"Yes, why not go back."

"If we don't leave, we will only starve to death if we stay here! Death is not death, so it's better to go back to our hometown!"

"Didn't they say that the court is already very strong now? I'm willing to go back and see it, maybe it's true?"

"That's right, you will definitely not be able to survive if you stay here. It's better to go back to China. If you can't stay in your hometown, you can go to the next door. As the Ming Dynasty is so big, you don't believe there is no way to survive!"

“…”

Su Minggang was also moved when he heard these words. It can even be said that he had actually regretted coming back after seeing what he had experienced over the years. As the brother said before, he died in his hometown, and after all, he had returned to his roots!

After pondering for a while, he reached out to signal to Jingjing, and then said, "Okay, I'll go and ask for the Governor. We will give all the property here to the Governor, just to leave a fortune. In this way, if you have a treasure, you will not make things difficult for us if you don't have this jade, right?"

Although many people feel very uneasy about this, they feel that the money they have worked hard all their lives and have finally accumulated money is worth it. However, they are very helpless about their current situation. There is only one way that may change their situation.

"Then let it be. You can make another profit if you lose money. You only have one life. Don't take money too seriously!"

"Yes, just make money again!"

“…”

When they saw that they all agreed, Su Minggang also thought they had agreed and tried to stand up from the chair and ordered a young man beside him, "Quan'er, help grandpa change his clothes and meet the governor, you can't do whatever you want!"

After hearing this, his grandson quickly agreed and went to help him back to the house.

Just like that, under the expectation of his compatriots, Su Minggang helped his grandson to find the Dutch Governor in Batavia.

……………………

Before long, Su Minggang came back. However, facing all the anticipated eyes, Su Minggang shook his head bitterly and said to them that he had not even seen the Governor's face and could not enter the gate.

When everyone heard his words, they were very disappointed and even despaired.

Seeing this, Su Minggang frowned and said to them: "You fellow villagers don't have to worry. The Governor must have thought that I wanted justice when I went to him, so I avoided it. As long as the Governor knows that we are willing to donate all our property, I believe that the Governor will not make things difficult for us!"

Before the others answered, they supported his grandson and complained: "Grandpa, the guards at the door are not spread at all. When they see us, they drive us like something. How can we let the Governor know?"

Everyone was even more disappointed when they heard this.

"It's okay, your grandfather, I have a solution!" Su Minggang replied immediately, "Just do what I say!"

……………………

In the Governor General of Batavia, Governor Anthony was handling government affairs. Listening to his subordinates’ reports, he suddenly heard noises coming from outside and frowned.

As soon as his subordinates saw it, they immediately walked to the window to check the situation.

Then he smiled and reported to Anthony: "It's those Eastern pigs who are making trouble at the door again."

When Anthony heard this, he frowned and said, "You dare to come, do you really think I have a good temper?"

At the same time, he was also a little surprised. Why was his subordinates still laughing? Didn’t he say harsh words before and directly imprison Mingren to prison?

Perhaps guessing what he was thinking, his subordinate reported to him: "Governor General, those Ming people held banners at the door, saying that they gave us all their belongings, and only asked Governor General to allow them to return to their hometown."

"Oh?" When Anthony heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out. Sure enough, a group of Ming people held the banner timidly. The banner had Dutch words, which meant the meaning I just heard.

His subordinates were beside him and said to him with a smile: "Governor General, you can have this, you can get all the belongings of these Eastern pigs without any worries!"

Anthony didn't speak immediately. After watching for a while, he suddenly shook his head.

When his subordinates saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Do you think these wise men will hide their property secretly?"

After asking, without waiting for Anthony to answer, he replied himself: "If this is the case, you don't have to worry. Just leave this matter to me to do it, so that these Eastern pigs will not take away any money!"

Anthony turned around and walked back to his seat, and said, "If they were let go, the Ming army would know clearly about our Batavia situation. Do you think, can I let them go?"

When he heard this, the man was immediately surprised, then he showed an admiration, thinking in his heart that he was worthy of being the Governor General, and he thought more than himself.

So he immediately expressed his opinion: "Since that's the case, just do it all and slaughter them all, then there's nothing to worry about!"

Anthony walked back to his seat and sat down, then looked up at his subordinates, shook his head and said, "No, they still have some use, they can't be killed!"

"Can't kill?" His subordinates were surprised when they heard this, "Governor General, kill them, the property is not ours, what can't be killed? Could it be that they should keep working?"

Anthony opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly remembered that if this matter was said, it would hurt the morale of the army, so he waved his hand and said to the subordinate: "Remember what I said, you will know in the future."

Judging from this, it seems that it is not for money. His subordinates were surprised. I wonder what the Governor was making?

However, he also knew Anthony. Since he didn't want to say it, he definitely wouldn't say it, so he had to press this curiosity in his heart.

When he was about to leave, suddenly, a happy guard ran in outside. Before he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Governor, our ship has arrived, reinforcements have arrived!"

When he heard this, Anthony's chair seemed to be equipped with a spring, and he stood up from the chair and asked in surprise: "How many boats are there?"

"Twenty-three ships! Twenty-three ships!"

When Anthony heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

After losing, he immediately sent a message back and asked for reinforcements from Batavia.

These days, he has been worried that the Ming army would come first before the reinforcements arrived. Or in other words, the final result was that there were no reinforcements.

But unexpectedly, twenty-three ships came this time. You know, there were only 40 warships in the entire Dutch East India Company.

If we count the warships that had been lost before, it can be said that most of the warships of the East India Company were sent to the Far East.

In addition, there are 29 warships in Batavia. If we add armed merchant ships, there are about 70 warships on Batavia. In addition, there are as many as 100 warships on the Strait of Malacca and Annan.

This fleet size, even in Europe, is a powerful force.
