The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 417

In the original history, Putesman was not transferred back to China after losing the battle this time. He stayed in Taiwan for another six years before being transferred back to China.

But right now Putesman didn't know, he thought he would be transferred away after losing the battle, and Ding Yi didn't remember if he would leave, but this didn't prevent Ding Yi from buying what he wanted with [-] silver.

Putesman quickly understood what Ding Yi wanted and thought about it for a long time.

He is a very educated Dutchman, and he would never sell his company for a little personal gain.

However, if the benefit is huge enough, and it is related to the happy life of his family, children, women, and even future generations, it is another matter.

5 taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money in this era.

Ding Yi believes that there is no one in this world who cannot be bought. If you cannot be bought, it proves that the price you paid is not high enough.

It wasn't long before Putesman recalled the interpreter.

"Why did you buy this at a high price? To be honest, I don't think he's paying this price?"

Ding Yi said: "It's worth it in my heart, because I hope we can cooperate in a friendly way so that you don't have to worry about the future."

"I may not be able to do it."

"I believe you can do it. In the early stage, I can provide you with one-tenth of the activity expenses."

"Aren't you afraid that I will perfunctory you after taking 5000 taels?"

"You are an elite member of the Netherlands and an outstanding talent from the East India Company. I fully believe in your professionalism."

"What are your plans?"

"No matter what I try, it is impossible to harm your family and your country. We must reach a consensus on this. We are here, we are friends, we have a common enemy, and he is on the opposite side."

The translator followed the translator, completely unaware of what the two were talking about.

Putesman finally thought for a long time, and sighed: "I will think about it."

Ding Yi smiled.

After leaving Putesman's office, he saw Ruan Siqing and Pilut standing together and chatting outside.

Ding Yi was very surprised. He walked over to ask and found out that Ruan Siqing was learning Dutch from Pilut.

Zheng Zhilong was very powerful in history, he could speak Dutch and Portuguese.

Ruan Siqing is also very talented in languages ​​and is willing to learn. He can speak Japanese and Korean. In the past two years, he has been doing business with Pilut and often travels to Taiwan. He is also learning Dutch from Pilut.

Ding Yi was overjoyed, and immediately he asked Putesman and Pilut that I want Ruan Siqing to stay here for three months and learn Dutch.

Pilut looked at Putesman, Putesman thought for a while and nodded slowly.

In this way, newly married Ruan Siqing and Xu Miaozhu will live in Taiwan and learn Dutch for three months.

That afternoon, Ding Yi's fleet will leave Taiwan with [-] catties of white sugar, [-] catties of brown sugar, and a total of [-] catties of granulated sugar.

He stayed in Taiwan with 6000 catties of raw silk and [-] bolts of silk. The two sides estimated the price, and Putesman would give Ding Yi another [-] taels, but I will keep it in mind for the final settlement.

The day before leaving Taiwan, Ding Yi called Ruan Siqing over.

"The Dutch immigrate here along the coast of Fujian every year. In the past two years, I have asked the intelligence department to develop dozens of people here. Half of them came from Lushun, and a quarter of these people have successfully entered here. immigrants."

Ruan Siqing looked at Ding Yi in surprise, but he did not expect that Ding Yi had arranged to infiltrate people into Taiwan two years ago.

"Fujian will continue to let our people immigrate here. After one year, I want more than 50 of us here."

"Find an opportunity to observe carefully and write down the main structures of Rezelan City, forts, arsenals, etc."

Ruan Siqing nodded heavily, with a serious face.

Ding Yi still didn't know that the first phase of the city of Rejalan was only built at this time, and it was not until 1639 that Putesman returned to the Netherlands after the completion of the project.

But this does not affect Ruan Siqing's observation and study here.

"Have a good relationship with the Dutch, especially Pilut. Ordinary soldiers in the Netherlands are short of money. They come here to serve as soldiers because of lack of money. You have to be willing to spend money to make friends with them." Ding Yi said little by little. Ruan Siqing said.

Ruan Siqing already knew what Ding Yi wanted to do, so she patted her chest and assured Ding Yi that the task would be completed.

After Ding Yi arranged everything, he left Taiwan.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Ding Yi felt confident as Taiwan was getting further and further away from him.

Although the Dutch managed it very well, it was not breached until the Zheng Chenggong era.

But it will be ten times easier for Ding Yi to do it from the inside than Zheng Chenggong.

Once Ding Yi takes possession of this place, Zheng Zhilong will have to consider whether he can turn against him.

Because Ding Yi ships from here, the powerful infantry battalion arrives at night.

At that time, no matter how strong Zheng Zhilong's fleet is, Ding Yi can choose to land anywhere along the coast, and it will be much easier to enter Quanzhou with infantry.

After entering the coast of the Ming Dynasty, his fleet continued northward, passing through various coastal cities along the way to buy some tea, silk fabrics, and search for craftsmen and other talents. In the meantime, he went to Nanjing to recruit a group of craftsmen.

Return to Lushun in mid-July.

Because Ruan Siqing stayed in Taiwan, the person who went to Japan to trade this time was the Portuguese François.

Some time ago, Fran took Sein Fei to run on both sides of Lushun Ishijian Yinshan. Sein Fei was already familiar with the whole process, and now he can go alone.

This line is also relatively simple. It happened that the two had just returned from Japan this time, and Fran led Ruan Siqing's fleet to Japan.

At this time, Ding Yi found that there were too few people in his hands who knew how to run the sea.

The main ones are Fran, Xilaojing and Ruan Siqing.

Ruan Wenyan used to be able to run, but now she has just given birth and cannot go to sea.

Silao has to train artillery and navy, but can't do business.

Ruan Siqing stayed in Taiwan, and he had even fewer people who could go overseas.

So this time he transferred Xu Erxian, the deputy of Xilaojing, and Shen Zhixiang, the nephew of Shen Shikui, to Franco.

Shen Zhixiang has also run before, but he hasn't run in recent years.

After sending off the ship of Fran, Xu Erxian and Shen Zhixiang to Japan, Ding Yi had enough money and food in a short time.

Later Jin's second entry campaign is still in progress.

He's fine now, finally free.

Go see your three children first.

In early June last year, Ruan Wenyan was pregnant first, in mid-June Shen Chu was pregnant, and in mid-July, the first day after Ding Yibing sent to Japan, Qin Nan also found out that she was pregnant.

Everyone thinks that Mr. Ding is very powerful, either he is not pregnant, or he comes one by one.

Ruan Wenyan lived up to expectations and gave birth to a fat son.

Shen Chuying was a little impatient, she gave birth to a daughter, which made Mr. Shen anxious, and she didn't sleep well for several days.

Qin Nan is also a son, so Ding Yi now has two sons and a daughter.

They are only a few months old now.

When Ding Yi returned to the house that day, a nanny came out with three babies in her arms.

Although Ding Yi is now the deputy general of Dongjiang, he spends a lot of time in Lushun.

Usually the three women also stay here, because it makes him feel more secure.

Everyone also knows Ding Yi's habit, as long as he returns home, he has to see the three babies first.

It's only been a few months now, and the meat is very cute.

The three wives followed behind, watching Ding Yi hug him one by one: "Call me dad, call me dad."

The three little men looked at him as if they were looking at SB.

The boss, Ding Ye, was stunned for a while, and suddenly, wow, he burst into tears.

The nannies hurried over with a smile.

Ding Yi picked up the second child Ding Mi again: "Call me Dad, call me Dad."

Ding Mi ignored him, turned her head, and went to find her mother.

Ding Yi was still overjoyed, bowed his head and kissed, Shen Chuying saw it in his eyes, and was very happy in his heart, because Ding Yi was not patriarchal, and he usually liked Ding Mi more.

The third child is a bit fat and heavy, named Ding Xiang.

The names of the three children were all chosen by Ding Yi, and everyone felt confused.

Because the names in this era are basically three characters, and the names with three characters are cultured.

But Ding Yi didn't want to use his brain, so he randomly chose three names for his children, and they all had two characters.
