"That's right!"

"Look, there are still words here, and the specific route is also explained above..."

"Great Admiral!"

"Since it has been unlocked, let's go and find that 'Terror' now!"

After reading the specific instructions above, the first mate who felt that he could find it excitedly suggested to a little girl who still looked depressed.

"don't want!"

(*???*)

"I don't want to go anywhere tonight!"

(?′ω`?)

"Let's wait tomorrow..."

(￣︶￣)

There is a hot spring in the Governor's Mansion, so Anne plans to take a good hot bath at night, and then have a good night's sleep. Until tomorrow, if she wakes up naturally, if she still remembers this, she will definitely look for it.

"Totally agree!"

"Then go again tomorrow!"

Song Yifeng was drunk tonight, and she wanted to continue drinking, but she didn't dare to get on the boat at this time. In that case, the overnight meal in her belly would have to be shaken out!

...

In the Governor's Mansion in Malacca, when a little girl was studying the map of the "Terror's Certificate" with her first lieutenant and second admiral and successfully found the burial point. She was about to take a bath and sleep, in the Governor's Mansion in Jakarta, the vicious Dutch Guava Antonio van Kuhn was still discussing something with her subordinates in the study, without any sleepiness.

"What?"

"It's really confirmed..."

"That guy Preyran was defeated. He and his flagship were smashed by the Li family's ships and sank directly to the bottom of the sea?"

"What a joke..."

"There are sixty-seven warships, eighteen sunk, and twenty-two captured, while the five giant warships of their Li family are not damaged at all?"

"This is simply impossible!"

Seeing the secret letter from a subordinate who rushed to Jakarta to report, Antonio van Kuhn was so scared that he stood up from behind his desk. The shaved air flow made the candlelight of the precious whale oil candles on the table next to him sway, illuminating the shadows of several people in the room.

"Governor!"

"This is the final news. It was sent back from Malacca the day before yesterday."

"A few days ago, you have asked the armed merchant ship of the Preyra Chamber of Commerce that fled to our Jakarta. The five enemy battleships were extremely fast, and there was no ship that could catch up with them in the same wind. In addition, the range of the cannons was long, at least twice or even more than that of our traditional Cannon heavy artillery, so that they could calmly adjust the direction and carry out side-side shelling in the distance, while Preyra's fleet could only bear the losses and could not counterattack..."

"It's not surprising that he was defeated in the end."

"I can't imagine that the artillery craftsmanship of the Ming people has reached this level?"

At the table of Governor Antonio van Kuhn, the man who seemed to be a secretary or a staff officer, and who was wearing a Dutch officer uniform and wig, was calm and patiently explaining and correcting their Governor Kuhn's wrong judgment.

“…”

"Let the fleet be on standby first, let's not regain Dernat and Manado..."

Close your eyes and think for a while, and finally, Antonio van Kuhn had to open it again and in agony his new order.

"clear!"

"But Governor, what should we do next?"

"The Li family fleet will definitely attack us!"

"In the Southeast Asian Spice Islands, Preyra's fleet is no weaker than ours, or even stronger. Since even they have failed, then we..."

The officer in Dutch officer uniform and wig obviously thought more than Kuhn, who had already begun to worry about the horrible scenes of the Li family fleet as they headed south from Malacca and attacked their Guawa Islands.

There is no doubt that even if they gathered all the ships near the Spicy Islands and armed them, they would be afraid that in the end they could only gain miserable and depressed failures like the Portuguese Malay Governor Doyle Ropez Di Preira, with no other possibility of reaping miserable and depressing failures!

“…”

"I will write a letter immediately and ask for help from the East India Company headquarters!"

"Let them send more high-speed warships as soon as possible. Ordinary armed merchant ships will definitely not work. In order to load more cargo, our Dutch merchant ships have small decks, and their speed is slower than those of Preira's merchant ships. That will only become a living target!"

"So, we need more battleships, the more the better!"

Gripping his teeth, Governor Kuhn picked up the quill, then pulled out a piece of waterproof parchment, and planned to write an urgent letter to the senior executives of the East India Company in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with ink.

Although this letter would make the company's directors feel that Governor Guawa is a little incompetent, in order to protect their own interests and to protect the Spicy Islands, a good place that is rich in spices, which is comparable to "gold", he doesn't care about so much for the time being.

"But yourselves!"

"Now that Malacca has been taken down by the Li family's fleet. If this letter is sent to Europe, it will cross the Indian Ocean and bypass the Cape of Good Hope. This time, at least half a year has passed. When the support fleet comes, it may be next year or the year after. Will the Li family's fleet wait so long before attacking us?"

Although I don’t know the proverb that ‘far water cannot quench near thirst’, the staff officer also knew that it would be too late to ask for help from the East India Company at this time.

“…”

"I don't know, let me think about it..."

"Let me think about it again..."

“!!”

"so!"

"We can surrender to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce for the time being, pretend to obey them, and buy the necessary time for the arrival of the fleet?"

Soon, after walking back and forth in the study for a long time, Governor Antonio van Kuhn, finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

So, in the Governor's Mansion in Malacca, when two little girls were playing in the hot springs, and when a second admiral named Song Yifeng was finally carried to the room smoothly because of alcoholism and sleepiness, Governor Antonio van Kuhn, wrote such a friendly surrender letter to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce overnight.

And the general meaning of the letter is:

First, the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce surrendered to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, acknowledging the Li Family Chamber of Commerce's occupation of Delnat and Port Manado and its rule over the South Ocean.

Second, as a condition for surrender, the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce will pay 20% of the trade profits to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce every quarter.

Third, the spicy food archipelago under Governor Guawa, including Jakarta, Balin, Banjarmasin, Makassar, Surabaya and Ambona, unconditionally open routes and markets to the Lijia Chamber of Commerce and its subordinate ships.
