According to Overstratten's understanding of the Ming Dynasty, if the monkeys on Batavia really launched an attack on the Lanfang Administrator, or another Red Creek tragedy in Batavia, then the biggest possibility is that the entire Netherlands will be dragged into the water by the monkeys and end up in a worse situation than Portugal.

It is precisely for this reason that Overstratten directly ordered the suppression of the monkey when he found that something was wrong.

But Oshen Stratten didn't expect that these monkeys were really stupid, and they even started working with the East India Company regardless of the situation.

After thinking about it, Overstratten said, "Let's do this, let's send a note to the Ming Kingdom first, asking them to withdraw their people first to avoid accidental injury - although the monkeys are now targeting us, who can guarantee that they will not attack the merchants of the Ming Dynasty?"

Johnnis Silberg shook his head and said, "No, the Ming Dynasty cannot be notified to send a ship to pick up their merchants. The best way is to send troops to protect the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and then directly send the ship to send them all to Lan Fang."

Overstratten was stunned and asked, "Don't let the Ming Kingdom send ships to pick them up, but instead, they will draw more personnel and warships to escort them at this time?"

Silberg nodded and said, "Yes, you must not give Mingguo any chance - do you want to know the final result of the meeting of the Seventeen Gentlemen on this matter?"

Overstratt nodded curiously and said, "Of course I want to know."

Silberg laughed, and then slapped his pipe in his mouth and said, "Then I will tell you directly. The final result of the Seventeen Gentlemen Conference is that if you can solve the monkeys and ensure the stability of Batavia, you will be included in the shortlist for the next Seventeen Gentlemen."

"If you fail to solve the monkeys, or if those monkeys provoke Ming, and dragged the East India Company or the entire Netherlands into the water by those monkeys, then don't think about the seventeen gentleman candidates."

Overstrathan laughed, his face full of self-deprecating smile: "If such a situation really happened, Ming Dynasty would definitely send troops to Batavia. I may not even have the chance to return to the Netherlands alive, and of course I don't have to think about the candidate for the Seventeen gentleman."

Silberg nodded, but his smile looked even worse than crying.

As one of the seventeen gentlemen of the East India Company, Silberg was not ignorant of the Ming Dynasty. Siler knew more about the history of the Central Plains Hall than Overstratten. Even when warships and firearms were at a disadvantage, the country called the Ming Dynasty still chose to attack with a tough attitude. Now that country almost has all the advantages...

When he thought of this, Silberg couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Go and do it quickly. It's okay to send those Ming merchants to Lanfang or to Jiaozhi. Staying in Batavia is the biggest danger for us."

Overstratten also knew that Silberg's proposal was correct, but when he thought of the Ming people, Overstratten couldn't help but have a headache.

In the past, especially when the Central Plains people had a small braid behind their heads, they were actually very afraid of the Batavian Governor's Mansion. They just wanted to make money and never thought about other things. Even if the Batavian Governor's Mansion wanted to take away their money, they would only try their best to keep even a small part and never think about resisting.

But since they cut off the braids behind their heads, these usually docile sheep seemed to have become wolves in sheepskins. They would always smile and deal with others, but when others grind at them, they would no longer choose to retreat as usual, but instead glar back in the same fierce posture.

Overstratten was a little confused. Could it be that the little braids behind these people's heads had magic that could bind them?

Overstratten was very worried. The relationship between the Batavian Governor's Office and these Ming people was quite bad. Now the Batavian Governor's Office has changed his face and said that they would send them away. Will they believe the Batavian Governor's Office? Will they obey the arrangements of the Batavian Governor's Office honestly?

Especially after the encyclopedia of Liangliang, the Ming Dynasty's actions in the Nanyang area became increasingly important. The maritime merchants who came to Batavia to do business also brought this news to Batavia. The people of the Central Plains who survived the Hongxi tragedy and their descendants also knew that the Central Plains Hall had changed.

These people were almost immediately involved with the merchants from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these people are not what Overstratten is most worried about.

Because the people of the Central Plains and their descendants after the Hongxi tragedy were still a little easier to say. Although they became less gentle and obedient, compared with those merchants from the Ming Dynasty, they could still be considered well-behaved and obedient.

Those merchants from the Ming Dynasty were never afraid of anyone. Although they could accept the normal tax collection of the Batavian Governor's Office, when facing threats, they often became more crazy against the threat - do you know how far away is the nearest fleet here to the Ming Dynasty, and you can try moving it?

But what Overstratten did not expect was that the Ming merchants in Batavia had never thought about evacuating.

After learning that Batavia's monkeys were dissatisfied with the Lanfang Governor and the Ming merchants in Batavia and wanted to create the Hongxi tragedy again, the ideas of these Ming merchants gradually became dangerous.

First, there was a Hongxi tragedy in Batavia. These monkeys are now unhonest, which is also a threat to the governor of the Ming Lanfang;

Second, the Dutch barbarians here fought several naval battles with the Ming Dynasty before Emperor Chongzhen, but these Dutch barbarians may not have changed them now;

Third, when going overseas to do business, it is money. However, in the Ming Dynasty, those with the highest status were never rich, or even powerful, but those cruel people who had military achievements.

Fourth, the Ming Dynasty's South China Sea Fleet is not too far from here. Even if you really can't beat those monkeys, you can still run away. As long as you find the Ming army, you will be safe.

Based on these four reasons, these brave Ming merchants first secretly united together, and then held a banquet to invite Shi Chengzu, the leader of the Shi family, who is more prestigious among the people of the Central Plains in Batavia.

The statements of these Ming merchants are very simple: "The Shi family was the Xuanwei envoy of the Old Port Xuanwei Office during the Yongle period. In the Hongxi tragedy, your grandfather Shi Banrang also led the local people of the Central Plains to fight against the Dutch army and the monkeys. From Qian De for five years to Qian De for eight years, the Shi family has always been the leader. Now these monkeys are not honest. Shouldn't you, the current leader of the Shi family, stand up?"

These Ming merchants patted their chests to guarantee Shi Chengzu: "As long as you, Shi Chengzu, are willing to stand up, we will find a way to solve the logistics and weapons problems for you. We will definitely not be able to get the most advanced muskets in the court, but it would be too easy to get some flintlock guns and artillery one or two generations behind."

"Let's go back and recruit some young people who dare to fight and fight. We all work together to kill the monkey. You, Shi Chengzu, announced the restoration of the old port as the Ming Dynasty's old port envoy and requested to be attached. You, Shi Chengzu, can become a hereditary Xuanfu envoy, and we all also make some military achievements."

"As for those Dutch barbarians, you don't have to worry about Shi Xuanfu. Anyway, there is a military port for the Ming South China Sea Fleet nearby, and there are also a Ming garrison on the Lanfang Administrator's Office. Is it easy and easy to kill them?"

Then Shi Chengzu planned this matter together. After carefully studying the details of the action with these brave Ming merchants, he gathered all the elders of the Shi family when he went back.

"This place was originally called the Old Port Xuanwei Department, and our Shi family is also the hereditary Old Port Xuanwei Envoy."

"It's a pity that Jianyi invaded the south, and the mountains and rivers hang upside down. After the Hongxi tragedy, our Shi family was getting worse day by day. Now the monkeys are going to make trouble again. If we don't take the initiative, where should our Shi family go?"

Shi Chengzu looked at the clan elders and said seriously: "I decided to call on all the people in the Central Plains in the old port to gather together to fight back the monkeys and seize the old port!"

Shi Chengzu's uncle Shi Jiye knocked on the dry tobacco pot in his hand, and asked with half a glance: "If this matter is done, our Shi family will naturally soar into the sky. At least a hundred years of age can maintain wealth. But if it fails, I'm afraid our Shi family will be wiped out immediately. Have you thought about it?"

Shi Chengzu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm determined, uncle, don't persuade me!"

Shi Jiye laughed and said, "Please? I never thought of persuading you - your grandfather is my father, your father is my elder brother, do you think I don't hate those monkeys? Do you think I don't hate those Dutch barbarians?"

Speaking of this, Shi Jiye turned his head and ordered his son Shi Chengxian who was standing behind him, "Go, go to my room and pick up the top small box among the five small boxes."

After Shi Cheng first took the small box, Shi Jiye took out the key from his body and opened the small box.

In the small box was a hat and helmet, and underneath it was a rather worn Ming army armor.

Shi Jiye stroked his hat and helmet, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Your uncle and uncle have no queen, this official uniform of the Zuojun Qianhu Office of the Xuanwei Office of the Ming Dynasty, has been passed to our branch. Your father should have inherited the Xuanwei Envoy, so I inherited the Zuojun Qianhu."

Speaking of this, Shi Jiye suddenly said seriously: "There should be 1,120 people from the left army, but there are actually two people, the central army, the right army, the front army, and the back army, the thousand households from the back army, have all disappeared."

"If you really want to start a crime as the old port envoy, you will disperse your family's wealth and find a way to buy a batch of weapons. At the same time, you will also recruit troops to supplement the troops of five thousand households, and carry the banner of the old port envoy!"

Shi Chengzu fell into silence.

Before his death, my father did pass on the flags, official uniforms, seals, hereditary documents and iron vouchers of the old Hong Kong commissars, and these things were also placed in his room.

Shi Chengzu always thought that these things were passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms, but he never thought that he would have to rely on these things to get into trouble one day.

After a while of silence, Shi Chengzu finally stood up, breathed out a breath of turbid air and said, "How can we, the people of the Central Plains, stay under the barbarians for a long time?"

"If Yin Monkey is so arrogant, it will be another Hongxi tragedy, and we will die. Even if we can escape, what will we look like to meet our ancestors?"

"The so-called "reward" means death, and if not "reward, death, death, not fighting, not humiliating the reputation of our ancestors!"
