At night, He Bin's residence.

There was no trace of light in the black, and the night was deep. He Bin was lying on the bed, but tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Shi Daxuan's words and the recruitment of the Zheng family made his brain boil and make a pot of porridge.

He thought of his bright future in Anping, and then his small property in Dayuan Town.

If he defected to the Zheng family, his family was small and his property in the senior staff would never be as good as before. The Dutch were not that stupid and did not guard against him at all.

That's why, if the Zheng family really fought with the Dutch, how could He Bin continue to be trusted by the Dutch?

This is a real question that cannot be real anymore. Just like Zheng Zhilong asked his subordinates whether the court would let the Zheng group go if he gained power. It was an inevitable fate.

This experience can still be tied to Guo Huaiyi.

The two of them have a deep relationship with the Zheng family, which many people know. They will definitely be suspected by the Dutch when they are imprisoned. It is good to be imprisoned and detained, but it may not be possible to die directly.

Because they were the leaders of Han immigrants under the Dutch, if they chose Zheng, the Dutch would have only a castle left.

The indigenous people were attracted and supported by them, but if the Zheng family's army attacked, would those savages dare to scream?

Although the Dutch have won over the indigenous tribes, they are very clear that these savages have never been the main force, and all they can do is follow the Dutch and shout.

"Hi..." He Bin sighed, and felt that he didn't have to worry anymore. The best answer was already in front of him.

But when I think of the difficulty and the possible casualties and losses of my family and property, I feel like a knife.

Shibazhi parted ways back then, from the choice between He Bin and Guo Huaiyi, we can see that they are not ambitious people.

Compared to the fact that they were holding their heads to work hard to find a bright future, these two people were more eager for a stable life.

At least at the choice of fate, He Bin and Guo Huaiyi made the choice of "quitting the world".

Such people will naturally be home-loving and will be reluctant to give up on the subsequent losses. This is natural.

Leonardus, the representative sent by the Dutch, has arrived in Xiamen at this moment. He is a member of the Council of the Grand Council, which is a rule of law for the East India Company. Due to the underdeveloped communications in this era, the East India Company established the "East India Council" in the East, and is located in Batavia, which authorized them to make decisions on their own in emergencies.

However, in the Dutch's name, the chief of Formosa or the governor of the Dutch.

There are as many as two or three thousand Dutch military and civilians who have been stationed in the long term. After half of the navy and army, the remaining more than a thousand people are quite considerable.

Formosa/The Council for Members’ Reviews naturally exists.

You can completely regard this as a local parliament, just like the Portuguese who made it in Macau. Leonardus is the key member of the inner world.

"This is impossible, this is too crazy. Is Zheng's group going to start a war with the company?"

When He Bin arrived in Xiamen on a boat and met Leonardus with a sad look, his remarks immediately detonated Leonardus.

The trade profits of the senior officials accounted for one-quarter of the overall trade of the East India Company in the East. How important this is, the Zheng Group actually asked them to give up completely, which was simply declaring war on the company.

Zheng's Group is about to touch the company's fundamental interests in the East.

"The Nan'ao Island shopping mall, a shopping mall without any special rights? What can I expect? Even if you can trade freely, it cannot make up for the company's losses. Unless they can allow the company to monopolize trade with China forever, there may be some talks. And Annan? God, how much is Annan's interests? Annan unified the biggest profit is Beizheng, not us." Leonardus shouted, and ten Annans were not as good as one official.

In their vision, the seniors with a superior geographical location are the bridgehead for the East India Company to fully control trade with China, but not just their transit station for trade with Japan.

The ultimate goal of the Dutch was to completely monopolize trade with China. To achieve this goal, control the generals and use force to cut off the trade routes from England to China, that is necessary.

Just like when they used force to cut off the big duck's trade in China.

He Bin did not tell Leonardus that the Zheng Group was willing to give up monopoly of trade with the Netherlands. There is no need to tell this. A South Australian commercial hall and a free trade are enough to show their attitude.

"The person in charge of Anping is Zheng Hongkui. Zheng Yiguan has been away for more than a year because of the war in northern China. However, I heard from Anping that Zheng Zhilong had already taken a boat south and would probably be able to return to Anping in one month at most." He Bin revealed Zheng Zhilong's whereabouts to Leonardus.

Leonardus's face improved a little, "Yes, this is good news. Zheng Hongkui is not Zheng Zhilong, he cannot be the home of the Zheng Group. But it is difficult for you to guarantee that the greedy proposal he has made now is not from Zheng Zhilong's sign. Formosa is under serious threats. The armed forces of the Zheng Group are far beyond our power in Formosa. I must spread the news to Lelanzhe. The company should be prepared to face war."

After Leonardus made the decision, he looked at He Bin in front of him, "My friend, we have known each other for many years. Although you are not a Dutch, I have always regarded you as your most loyal friend. I believe in your loyalty to the company."

"In the current situation, your situation will definitely become very difficult, but I hope you can think seriously. In the words of the Chinese, just think twice before acting. Never make decisions rashly, put yourself in a dangerous situation, and make yourself extremely regretful in the future."

Just as He Bin thought, when the Dutch felt a huge threat, he would immediately have doubts about Guo Huaiyi.

He Bin's face, which was not good-looking at first, immediately became even worse. "I understand, I understand..."

He didn't say much, but just looked sad and said in such a distraught way.

This made Leonardus feel a little unbearable.

He is He Bin's "friend" and he is the one who believes in He Bin.

What does it mean? Cats and dogs still have feelings after being raised for a long time, let alone people?

He Bin has been in the Netherlands for more than a dozen years since he defected to the Netherlands. During this period, he has performed very well after the Zheng He battle.

Now, he may not choose the Dutch East India Company.

But who can tell you this kind of thing? Before the war between the Dutch and the Zheng group was always the Dutch attacking. Even when Zheng Zhilong was at his most powerful position, he never showed his covetousness to the Dutch in the territory of the senior officials.

Now the Zheng Group is in the offensive, and they want to drive the Dutch away from the top.
