After the light replaced the darkness, the Dutch immediately conducted a more detailed investigation of the anchorage.

Some Dutch people with excellent water properties dive directly to the bottom to check.

After all, the anchorage is not the deep sea, and the water depth is very limited.

Then they found different details and finally pieced together a similar conclusion. Indeed, the explosion that sounded almost at the same time destroyed the warships.

And they were sure that the explosion came from near the waterline and was ringing from one side of the battleship.

This almost shows that some outsiders lurked to the anchorage at night and blew up the Batavian fleet with medicinal powder.

So who is it?

Where are these people now?

Immediately search for residential areas and markets outside the city, especially those Chinese.

Artin is not a fool. When he recovered from autism and looked at the conclusion after investigation, he immediately thought of the Zhao family in Shizizhou, and naturally thought of the Chinese.

Official Cai Dun's face was almost dark.

This is really a matter of sitting in the house behind closed doors, and disaster comes from heaven.

What is the relationship between the Zhao family in Shizizhou and these people?

But in Batavia the Dutch's words were imperial edicts, and they could only obey them.

Several Kapitan and Chinese wealthy businessmen met and unified their thoughts, and followed the Dutch's will.

Don't cause trouble at this time.

But because of this, the Zhao family, who had a certain reputation in Nanyang, is now even more famous.

Moreover, the Zhao family's reputation was all from the Zhao family's merchants, but now the Zhao family's reputation comes from the fist.

When Zhao Liang didn't know, the explosion at the anchorage had been held on the head of the Zhao family by different forces from several parties.

Of course, Zhao Liang even knew it and would not say anything.

"Dad, we have already paid 10,000 shields. If we add 10,000 shields, our family will be hollowed out."

Cai Chongji looked at his dad in surprise.

Twenty thousand dollars, this is 70,000% of the Cai family's reserves. This money was originally to buy land to expand the manor, but now it is given to the Dutch. Cai Chongji feels sad as if he is cut by a knife.

"One time and another time. I'm willing to give it to me if you are me."

四个荷兰盾顶一两银子,两万盾就是五千两银子,这绝对不是个小数字.

Not only Cai Chongji felt very distressed, but Cai Dunguan also felt distressed.

As a newcomer who rose after the Hongxi tragedy, everything in the Cai family is now made by Cai Dunguan. If his family could have 5,000 taels of silver, they would have returned to their hometown long ago. Who would have been a son and a grandson in front of the Dutch?

"Isn't it just the Zhao family? Look, this is an opportunity."

Cai Chongji is not a second-rate person who is ignorant and understands the activities inside and outside Batavia.

Isn’t the reason why Cai Dunguan added another 10,000 shields because of the appearance of the Zhao family?

His father was just expressing his loyalty to the Dutch.

But Cai Chongji felt that the Dutch now has the Zhao family to check and balance, are they still as arrogant as the Chinese?

The Zhao family in Shizizhou can attract the help of the Chinese.

No son is better than father.

No one said anything about Cai Chongji, but Cai Dunguan also knew what he meant, so he shook his head disapprovingly.

Also give a help from the nation?

No one in the world can be reliable, and you can only rely on yourself for anything.

What does these people have to do with the Zhao family? Why do they just want to be more powerful than the Dutch for you?

Moreover, Batavia is not the entire Netherlands. The latter's strength is far from summarizing just a few sunken ships, nor can it be summarized by the small battle in Lion Island.

If the Dutch were really angry, gathered a large group of warships to fight, the Zhao family, how could they resist?

So it would be of no benefit to the Zhao family if it really angered the Dutch.

Although the Zhao family has the advantage now, the key to the matter is not whether the Zhao family has the advantage, but how much the Zhao family wants to take away.

If the lion was too greedy and asked for a price that the Dutch could not bear, then they would be the one who was unlucky in the end.

The smartest choice for the Zhao family is to ask for a moderate "price" that can get benefits without angering the Dutch, so that they will not really make a big fuss. This is the best result.

Because the Dutch people's land is thousands of miles away, if they want to make big moves, they will have to pay a considerable price, especially when the Dutch people have just suffered a defeat.

This is the real key.

——To cut a piece of Dutch meat without letting them get furious, then this piece of meat is expensive than to be able to fight.

This is the key to this "big drama".

Even if this peace talks are just a short 'intermission break'.

But how to grasp the degree? Can he really grasp the Zhao family's young chief?

Official Cai Dunshakes his head in his heart.

He not only knew that the Zhao family's "authorous aid" was not real, but also knew that the Zhao family's prospects were definitely not beautiful.

After dealing with the Dutch for so many years, he has a deep understanding of the nature of the Dutch.

This is a group of robbers who are insatiable and highly regarded.

Don’t look at their Heavenly Father’s mercy and civilized gentlemen, that’s all nonsense.

In essence, the Dutch are just Pixiu that only eats but does not vomit. If the benefits that have fallen into their hands will never be allowed to be given out willingly.

Especially the Orientals who look down on them.

Whether it is the indigenous people in the South China Sea or the Chinese in the South China Sea, these Dutch people all look down on them. They discriminate against Eastern people from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that only Western white people are civilized people, while other races are uncivilized barbarians.

Cai Dunguan was actually very funny. Because Chinese merchant ships often arrived in Batavia, he knew that the wealthy businessmen and gentry in China also regarded themselves very highly and regarded the Dutch as barbarians.

Both sides regard each other as savages, so whoever is the real savage can only be seen as whose fists are harder.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch invaded the southeastern seas several times, but they were beaten back by the weak Ming Dynasty. Even the senior officials were taken away by the master of the Guo family. It can be said that the Dutch were losers in the game where the Dutch were more fists.

But people still regard the Eastern people as barbarians, especially after Batavia sent envoys to Daqingguo in the north several times, but they failed to get what they wanted, the concept in their minds would not change.

Cai Dunguan did not think that the small Netherlands could compare with the vast Daqingguo, but he knew that the Dutch's strength at sea. Even if the East India Company was just a part of the Netherlands, the power it could mobilize was not something that the rising star of the Zhao family, who had only risen in recent years, could challenge.

After losing the fleet, Batavia is likely to negotiate peace with the Zhao family, but this is only a short truce.
