"Luzon is ours!"

Cheng Shi was a little confused at this time, and he bombarded Manila in anger. This decision was made by Cheng Shi, but in just seven or eight days, Luzon changed hands in this way.

Until now, he was still a little unbelievable.

What’s the next step? Where should we go?

Cheng Shi has never regretted anything he has done. If he does it again, he will probably do it again.

Anyway, after the bombardment of Manila, he has become a foreign devil. At least, the Spaniards will think of themselves as a butcher.

In fact, not only the Spaniards, but also the Chinese in Luzon regarded Cheng Shi as a butcher. At least 20,000 Luzon natives died under his command, and at least tens of thousands of people had their heads moved because of his words.

Looking at the gains from conquering Manila, Cheng Shi looked at Xie Jinglin and said, "Mr.

Xie Jinglin was slightly stunned: "Major General Cheng, what do you mean..."

"I got into such a big trouble and caused so much trouble to my father..."

Xie Jinglin actually knew that this matter could be right or wrong, the key was what Cheng Shijie thought.

Now it is a battle of honor between Spain and the Ming Dynasty. It is not up to Cheng Shi to decide what will happen next.

…

On Chongming Island, Cheng Shijie's news at this time was quite limited.

It was not until the Dutch Governor Putmans arrived in Da Yuan and made a serious protest to Cheng Shijie that Cheng Shijie learned that the Red Lady had used Liujiazhen to launch a head hunt in Da Yuan.

In just over a month, a total of 165 Dutch people were assassinated or kidnapped. The most serious incident was that on April 22, a group of 65 Dutch East

Members of the Indian Company's pioneering team, protected by 104 mercenaries, went deep into the Taichung area to survey.

As a result, they encountered an attack. Sixty-five members of the Dutch pioneer team had their heads cut off on the spot. However, there were two survivors among the mercenaries. The two survivors reported to Putmans that the Dutch East India Company was responsible for these attacks.

It's called the April 22 Massacre.

On behalf of the Dutch East India Company, Putmans made representations to Cheng Shijie, demanding that the Ning Navy stop its aggression against senior officials and compensate the members of the Dutch East India Company's expansion team who were killed on April 22.

Cheng Shijie categorically denied that the April 22 incident was related to Ning Haijun, and strongly condemned the Dutch colonial authorities' attacks on the people of Tamsui.

Of course, Putmans also flatly denied Cheng Shijie's accusations. Even if Ning Haijun submitted evidence to prove that those "horse bandits" were wearing Dutch cavalry uniforms, the Governor-General of the Netherlands also denied that those people were Dutch cavalry.

Clothes can be faked, so they can't prove anything.

Although the corpse appeared to have many Dutch characteristics, 165 people disappeared in the Netherlands within a period of more than a month, so it was impossible to prove whether the horse bandits were the Dutch who were killed.

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "Just because our Ning Haijun counts beheadings as military merit, you can't conclude that all the so-called victims were beheaded and it was our Ning Haijun who did it. This judgment is too arbitrary and cannot prove anything. It is said that

I know that there are many indigenous peoples in Da Yuan’s native land, and they all have the habit of headhunting, so maybe they did it!”

"Your Majesty the Governor, you are playing with fire. I must solemnly remind you that your irresponsible remarks may very well lead to the outbreak of war between our two countries."

Putmans knew very well that if it were just those large indigenous peoples, although they had the custom of headhunting, the problem was that they could never be the opponents of the Dutch. Occasional sporadic assassinations might be their fault, but the problem was that the pioneers

The team has more than a hundred hired guards, and the members of the pioneer team also have a large number of muskets and pistols. They can have an absolute advantage when facing the warriors of primitive tribes.

Cheng Shijie patted the table and said: "As long as you dare, we will definitely accompany you. Don't threaten me with war. I am not scared. I am not a native who has never seen the world. If you dare to talk to me in such a tone again, I will

I will send you back to Dajuan, and I can guarantee you that the Ning navy army will be able to occupy the entire territory of Dajuan within a month, and your local reinforcements will not be able to give you any support anyway."

"Don't forget Zheng Zhilong!"

"You can try to unite with Zheng Zhilong. As long as I get proof that Zheng Zhilong has passed through the Dutch, I will go to the capital and deprive Zheng Zhilong of all his titles. After Zheng Zhilong is dealt with, no matter how I fight with Zheng Zhilong or how the fight ends,

I have the absolute strength to destroy you first!"

Cheng Shijie stared at Putmans and said fiercely: "Admit it, compared with our Ming Dynasty, your Netherlands is just a small country. You should maintain enough respect for the superpower Ming Dynasty, instead of provoking everywhere like now! Our Ming Dynasty is an internal

There are many problems, but the problem is that any of our governors can easily crush your Netherlands, including your so-called East India Company."

Putmans' face turned red as he listened to the translator's translation, but he did not dare to say harsh words anymore. He stiffened his neck and said: "I will convey the words of the Governor-General to the Board of Directors of the Dutch East India Company exactly!"

"It's your power!"

Cheng Shijie is determined to get high-ranking officials, and high-ranking officials are not only like a fishbone, they will choke Zheng Zhilong, but they will also make the Dutch very unhappy.

Cheng Shijie was not an indigenous official of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Netherlands was still under the management of the Spanish Empire and did not have enough autonomy at all.

Now that the Spanish Empire has been retreating steadily in the face of the Europa coalition's attack, Philip III of Spain does not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty easily.

Although Da Ming is weak, he still has a huge air of strength, just like a super fat man. Regardless of whether Da Ming can fight or not, at least he looks very bluffing.

What's more, Zheng Zhilong's three battles with Cheng Shijie all failed, and now Zheng Zhilong's prestige has been greatly reduced.

Putmans became a little confused when he saw Cheng Shijie's tough attitude.

Because everyone knows that Cheng Shijie and Zheng Zhilong are competing for maritime hegemony, and although Zheng Zhilong is powerful, he is at a disadvantage, while Cheng Shijie has the initiative.

Both sides are now launching attacks around the trade line.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong couldn't bear it anymore. He decided to destroy Ning Haijun's main fleet first by sea and then by land, and then launch a land attack.

In this case, will Cheng Shijie take the initiative to establish Holland as a powerful enemy?

Could it be that there is something fishy going on here?

Is Zheng Zhilong up to something?

Thinking of this, Putmans feels that it is very possible, because once Holland and Cheng Shijie fight, the person who will benefit the most is Zheng Zhilong.

Putmans took a deep breath and almost fell into Zheng Zhilong's trap.

Otherwise, they would fight with Cheng Shijie, and Zheng Zhilong would be able to obtain the support of the Dutch East India Company without any effort.

"so close!"

When Putmans left Chongming Island, he hurriedly wrote to Batavia, reporting his judgment and doubts to the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company, hoping that the board would make a decision.

After Putmans left, Cheng Shijie gave Chen Dayong an order to temporarily stop military operations in Da Yuan.

In fact, Chen Dayong did not dispatch Ning Haijun soldiers. If he did dispatch Ning Haijun soldiers, Cheng Shijie could now have tea in Tainan Port.

After all, Ning Haijun is now fighting Zheng Zhilong. He is really worried that Zheng Zhilong will join forces with the Dutch. For Zheng Zhilong, what is integrity and how much is it worth?

Zhu Weiti was not present when Cheng Shijie was negotiating with Putmans, but she also heard that Cheng Shijie was very angry.

Zhu Weiti was worried that Cheng Shijie would be so angry that he had someone make a bowl of Poria and Huaishan soup to calm Cheng Shijie's anger.

But the problem is that when Zhu Weiti came here with Poria and Huaishan soup, she was wearing a gauze-like light green dress. Under the skirt, she only wore trousers instead of trousers, revealing her beautiful and moist breasts.

Come to the ankle.

Cheng Shijie finally extinguished the fire, but it suddenly started to burn again.

Cheng Shijie guessed that Zhu Weiti must have done it intentionally.

Of course, don’t say it when you see through it.

At night, Zhu Weiti said: "Zi Yi, has the consort slept?"

"I don't know, please come over and have a look!"

"good!"

Gu Ziyi came outside Cheng Shijie's study. Cheng Shijie did not return to Liaodong during this period of time in Chongming Island. On the one hand, the development of Liaodong was on the right track. On the other hand, Cheng Shijie was also putting on a show for the court, pretending to be happy and reluctant to miss Shu, which alleviated Chongzhen's concern for

his concerns.

However, Gu Ziyi came outside the study and found that the light was on in the room.

"Consort, the princess asked the slave to bring you fruits..."

Gu Ziyi heard that there was no sound in the study, and then walked towards the bedroom in confusion, but there was also no sign of Cheng Shijie.

Gu Ziyi returned to Zhu Weiti's dormitory: "Princess, it seems that there is someone outside!"

"ah!"

"This slave has been paying attention for a long time!"

"What?"

"The prince-in-law disappears at night!"

Cheng Shijie traveled through two time and space, but in fact there are people who doubt both aspects.

Xiang Hui also wondered if Cheng Shijie had someone outside, but the problem was that Cheng Shijie's firepower had dwindled. Occasionally, she would use Cheng Jiayue's child, pretending to accidentally put it in Cheng Shijie's pocket, to locate the watch to locate Cheng Shijie.

Of course, every time Xiang Hui locates his location, he discovers that Cheng Shijie left Longyue Company and only went home, and did not move for a long time. When he asked the guard, he also discovered that Cheng Shijie had indeed not left their community.

This made Xiang Hui dispel his doubts.

In the past, no one had the right to ask about Cheng Shijie's mysterious disappearance, but it was different now. After he married Zhu Weiti, Zhu Weiti had this right.

When Zhu Weiti heard this, she felt a little bitter in her heart.

Cheng Shijie has not been married to him until now, which shows that Cheng Shijie still has a grudge in his heart. Now that she is sure that Cheng Shijie is normal, she decided to find an opportunity to let Cheng Shijie take him back.
