An emergency meeting was held in the city of Jelan Cha that night. Many senior executives of the East India Company were in Taiwan, and even the governor was there. This saved a lot of trouble. Of course, the tone set was that it could not be continued. Peace talks were the only way out, and even Song Ke had to admit this.

They came to Asia not to go to war with the Ming people, but to various interests, and to lose their profits in a false sense. This is absolutely impossible. Even if Cohen wants to continue, the company's headquarters in the Netherlands will never agree. Thirteen major shareholders cannot sit idly by and watch their money be thrown into the sea for nothing... Even if this side is not controlled by remote control, Cohen insists on fighting, he may have to undergo mutiny in at most two months.

The thousands of employed and mercenaries from the East India Company were not here to fight wars. To put it bluntly, they were willing to fight colonies and pirates in order to make money.

If the company makes more money, the salary will be higher and the bonus will be higher.

There are many captures of colonies and pirates, and there are many benefits, so of course everyone wants to fight.

It proves that the hard bones of Taiwan cannot be gnawed, and their teeth have collapsed. I don’t know how to explain the losses of the four ships to the headquarters. Although shipwrecks are normal in this era, unless large warships are in a very bad luck, they will be in the center of the storm, otherwise the chances of shipwrecks will be much smaller, and the chances of being robbed and destroyed by pirates are much smaller.

All four ships were sunk, and they were all headaches when they thought about it. How could they explain to each other?

Fortunately, the explanation was about Governor Cohen. As the governor of Taiwan, Song Ke was probably the shortest-lived governor. He took the escort of more than 30 entourage and rushed to the Crown Prince. The bow of the ship also sailed across the sea as required by Hutchison... It was too close to each other, and he almost didn't feel how the ship got here.

Looking at the dark heads on the shore, Song Ke twitched the corners of his mouth... As for what, he didn't think that Hutchison was such a lack of quality group. Of course, he called himself here to show off his strength. There was no way to do this. The Dutch did not have much resistance to this, and it would be the same if they won. Europe in this era is still very simple, and everyone understands the principle that the hard fists are the boss. Unlike those two people in later generations, they are obviously bigger than those who are bullied by others, and they are still bullied by others. They are still happy to say that I am willing. If their current ancestors see it, they will definitely use a volley of mechanics to destroy them.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, Song Ke always thought so, how could he change his taste after winning a battle? Is this what he wants to give more people?

As a defeated general, Gao Wenlu was responsible for sending people here this time. He was not qualified to play in the negotiations. At this time, he couldn't help but sneer: "No matter how many people there are, we are not unable to fight back. If it is too much, the Governor will ignore them and let us leave."

Song Ke glanced at the defeated general, and the meaning was very obvious, and he told this guy to shut up.

If I were so tough here, why didn’t Hutchison take the white flag to become a senior official?

Just say a few words on your own territory. If you really think so, it would be better to throw this guy into the sea and let him be sober.

However, if Hutchison really tried to oppress with force and then spoke loudly on the negotiation conditions, Song Ke would not surrender.

I believe both sides are very clear about where the bottom line of negotiations is.

Seeing two eight-square boats coming, rowing the sea water to pull the big boat into the port, Song Ke sighed again.

This sea is still so familiar. The naval battle a few days ago seemed to have passed a long time ago. There were only small boats on the sea that were salvaging shipwreck artillery, and the eight-slurry boats that were flying back and forth, reminding him of the four big sailing boats that were like nightmares.

What a strange trick... Song Ke sighed.

If it weren't for those large sailboats, Hutchison would have sunk a small merchant ship after the naval battle, and he would probably not be able to protect the Batavia. However, if this is the case, the East India Company could still continue to fight. Anyway, it would be a great loss of half a year of profits. As long as Hutchison is completely defeated, these benefits will be doubled... If there are greater interests waiting, the company's senior management will of course support it to the end!

Of course, let's not mention everything... Song Ke looked depressed, and the defeated general felt uncomfortable. The company was still very anxious. Many merchant ships were requisitioned in Taiwan, and they could not get in the goods. The one-day loss was terrifying. Even if the company was big and the business was big, it would be impossible to bear it.

When they got off the pier, a group of Hutchison soldiers with live ammunition stopped the regiment.

Gao Wenlu stared and said, "What are you doing?"

He knew that Hutchison was equipped with Dutch knowledge, so he was not afraid that these people would not understand it.

The soldiers in front of them are still very fearful. They are tall, one head taller than the indigenous people of South China and southern China, and are even worse than the Dutch and not much different.

There are blue military robes and hats, black boots under the white pants, two cowhides of leather straps on the chest, many bottles of medicine for fixed charges, and several cowhide boxes at the waist, containing gunpowder and lead pills.

A short dagger was hung on the back of the butt, and a bright bayonet was installed on the head of the musket, which made people feel very threatening. The pointed bayonet looked particularly sharp and had a blood groove, which made people know how much threat to their lives at a glance.

The soldiers' expressions were even more fierce and fierce, with their eyes raised and their elite looks like a battle-protected elite.

These Dutch people have also seen large formations through many places. At a glance, they can tell that the soldiers in front of them are indeed fierce and powerful soldiers, and they must have seen blood. Thinking about the fact that there are five or six thousand soldiers on the island, Hutchison was immediately relieved of his confidence.

In fact, there are more than 6,000 soldiers on the island, but 80% of them are new recruits who have never seen blood. In the battle at sea, the soldiers were all veterans, the members of the artillery team were also veterans, and the musketeers were almost all new recruits.

However, in today's occasion, most of the time, the veterans are concentrated and many war soldiers pretend to be musketeers. They had seen blood on their hands a few days ago, and the murderous aura on their bodies had not yet dissipated. It was just right to use it to shock the Dutch.

Although both sides knew that they wanted to negotiate peace, they did mean peace, but both sides tried every means to take the lead. The Dutch used the Crown Prince to come over. The meaning was very obvious. There were many Dutch people in the big ship. Don’t think that if we had captured four prisoners and sunk one, we would have no ship.

Hutchison put out the strongest soldiers and horses, with murderous auras everywhere, and of course the meaning is obvious. If you do it again, it doesn’t matter. Are you sure that the elite soldiers here will be able to eat?

The Huji Tong incident deliberately delayed a while before it translated back. The short and Fujianese people rolled their eyes and said, "In order to avoid misunderstandings, please move forward with the white flag."

"This is so insulting!" Gao Wenlu was about to get angry and roared, "We are not here to surrender!"

"Then why are you here to Bengang?" The leader was Lu Dafu. Wang Jingzhong maintained this scene today on the trial table, so he brought a squadron to greet the Dutch people. There were more than a dozen squadrons scattered along the way to isolate the natives and the people.

It’s okay for the Han people, but they actually have no deep hatred with the Dutch. In the past six months, they have been so frustrated. The natives are different. The Dutch have caused them a lot in recent years. If the natives meet the Dutch and do not have strong pressure, who knows what will happen?

Seeing that the situation was about to collapse, Lu Dafu instructed Tongshi to turn over this meaning, and then he saw a middle-aged Dutch with gray hair bowing slightly and sneering.

The news said: "This is Song Ke, the governor of Taiwan in the Netherlands. He said thank you for your kindness."

"The words are good words, but they are not good." Lu Dafu smiled slightly, and didn't mind. Anyway, since Hutchison did it, he should not care about his attitude.

As soon as the Dutch were solemn, the Dutch could only raise the white flag, and their faces were pale, but they could only follow Lu Dafu and others. The soldiers of a squadron were divided into two rows and wrapped the Dutch in the middle, which was very similar to the scene of surrendering to the white flag.

Song Ke is mentally prepared for this kind of thing... It is indeed as the Chinese said. Since they lose, they must have the consciousness of losing. Why are they coming over, not the Chinese going over? Since they come, it will be meaningless to have such a battle of will.

Fortunately, Hutchison didn't do too much.

Dozens of soldiers lined up on both sides to protect the Dutch in the middle. There were also soldiers standing with guns on both sides, isolating more people.

Of course, there must be shouting, scolding, laughing, and sarcasm. There have been endless hearings along the way, and Song Ke's face was as deep as water, just pretending that he didn't hear it.

The members of the escort were mostly old foxes, and they only followed Song Ke down and walked. There were only a few who were inexperienced and couldn't help looking up. Sure enough, seeing the malicious expressions of mockery all around, they panicked and lowered their heads again, triggering a new round of mockery and laughter.

Hutchison did not deliberately block the shipyard and factory areas along the way. First, it passed the storage area, which attracted the attention of the Dutch. No one, including Song Ke, thought that Hutchison would have so many stored materials here.

When I saw the boat yard area again, everyone looked ugly.

In terms of war potential, Hutchison also put the East India Company aside for more than a dozen streets.

The colonies can only repair or build small boats, and large boats come from Europe. The time for sending messages and returning ships from Europe is calculated in half a year. Even if the East India Company receives strong support from the headquarters, dispatches or purchases warships, arranges personnel, allocates supplies, and then sets off from Europe to Batavia, which is at least one year.

In a year, there were several large warships in the yard in front of me being built at the same time, and they were launched in at most half a year!

In a year, Hutchison's fleet has already formed combat effectiveness. The East India Company's merchant ship may still be on the way. Even if it arrives, it has not undergone tactical exercises. What should I do to fight Hutchison's Navy?

This time, Song Ke and others were completely discouraged, but Song Ke glanced at the entourage with a warning look, reminding them not to show expressions they shouldn't have.
