When Merewa tied up Valkenna and went to see Chen Ze, Chen Ze was holding a banquet in the camp to see off Guo Lin, Zhang E, and He Bin.
As the emperor's envoy, Guo Lin and others have visited the countries of Malacca. Although negotiations with Aceh, Perak, Kedah, Banten, Yogyakarta and other countries were unsuccessful, they successfully facilitated negotiations with Johor, Brunei, Peking University, etc.
In 2017, the anti-Dutch alliance in Sulu, Selangor, and Terengganu had fulfilled its mission and could return home.
Out of courtesy, in addition to inviting the envoys who were about to return to China, Chen Ze also invited Johor Prime Minister Rajapaksa, Allied Commander Ibrahim, Deputy Commander Gul Mubin, and generals from various countries.
"Commander, Grand Duke Merewa of Bugis has arrived with the special envoy of the Dutch Governor. He is waiting in the back tent." General Xiao Chengyuan secretly reported to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze asked Yang Quan to entertain the guests for him and slipped away to the back tent. After listening to Merewa's explanation of the situation, he felt that the trouble was serious and immediately ordered people to invite Guo Lin to come to the tent for discussion. He knew that this imperial envoy was a fellow commander of the Jinyi Guards and had rich
His experience in fighting behind enemy lines is correct. Listen to his opinion.
After listening to the briefing, Guo Lin was speechless for a long time.
After the incident of seizing the gate, the Holy One was annoyed that the Jin Yiwei did not come to visit and did nothing during his illness, and his trust in the Jin Yiwei was much weakened. Although the Jin Yiwei Commander Ma Jixiang and the commander Zhao Daxi explained in every possible way, the Holy Family recovered a little.
, but it is no longer the same as before. For this reason, Ma Jixiang instructed him to make great achievements during this trip and restore the trust of the Holy Emperor in Jinyiwei. This time, he tried his best, but he only promoted the anti-Dutch alliance in some countries, but
There are still many countries that do not buy the Ming Dynasty's account, and always feel that their achievements have not been accomplished, and they are unwilling to do so. Today's incident seems to be an opportunity.
"Brother Guo, what do you think we should do with this barbarian?" Chen Ze's words brought Guo Lin back to reality from her reverie.
He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Mr. Chen, it will take some time for the coalition forces of various countries to form a fighting force, so the red-haired ghosts must not be allowed to know about the existence of the coalition forces. Therefore, this barbarian must not be let go." Chen Ze nodded and said: "I think so too, so let's lock up this barbarian."
"Wouldn't it be a waste to lock them up? Now that the alliance of various countries has just been formed, it is inevitable that some chiefs will be on both ends of the road and secretly collude with the red-haired ghost. Since ancient times, those who turned into bandits still need to surrender, so it is better to use this barbarian as a surrender for all countries.
The title of the petition is to order the dignitaries of the six countries to kill this person as a sacrifice to the flag, and stab each person with a knife. If the dignitaries of any country do not take action, they are disloyal to the Ming Dynasty." Guo Lin changed the topic and put forward a new suggestion.
"Hiss~"
Chen Ze took a breath of cold air. This person is indeed a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei. The idea he came up with is sinister, ruthless and vicious. But for the great dynasty, would using such sinister tactics be disrespectful to a great country?
Thinking of this, he spoke, "Brother Guo's plan is indeed a wonderful one. However, our Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven. If we kill envoys and sacrifice flags, I'm afraid it will be known as unbenevolent and righteous!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is joking. How could such a barbaric thing as killing envoys and sacrificing flags be done by my Ming Dynasty? It was clearly done by the Johor country." Guo Lin laughed happily.
"That's right, the things that are inconvenient for Ming Dynasty can be done by the local chiefs!"
Chen Ze suddenly realized, "Thank you, Brother Guo, for your advice! It's a pity that you are leaving Malacca soon. Otherwise, if you and I join forces, we will definitely turn this place upside down!"
"No, Mr. Chen, I have changed my mind and will not return to my country for the time being. I heard from the Nayi people that the Dutch have just conquered the Gowa Kingdom on Sulawesi Island. Sultan Nagowa must be unconvinced. I
I want to secretly go to Sulawesi Island to persuade Gowa to join the alliance," Guo Lin's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Oh, Brother Guo, Sulawesi Island is currently under the control of the Red Mao Yi people. Going there is too risky!"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? Guards in royal robes are the claws and claws of the emperor. I have sent envoys to various countries under the orders of the Holy One. However, there are still many countries that are unwilling to obey the edict. They have not completed the full work and really have no face to see the Holy One. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire,
I’m going to give it a try!”
Seeing that he spoke with great fervor, Chen Ze poured a glass of wine and said in greeting: "Brother Guo, take care. I will be waiting for good news from Brother Guo in the camp."
Bajia, Ibrahim and his son were invited into Chen Ze's tent. Chen Ze told them that Johor would come forward to kill the Dutch envoy to break the hearts of other countries. After speaking, Chen Ze flashed his eyes with a pair of tiger eyes.
Staring at them.
Bajia hesitated for a while, but as soon as this was done, Johor formed a deadly feud with the Dutch, and there was no way out. But Ibrahim agreed without hesitation.
After leaving the tent, Bajia complained to his son, "Son! Do you know that if this happens, we will fight to the death with the Dutch?"
"Father, do you think we have any other way out besides relying on Daming?" Ibrahim asked with a smile.
Poor Valkenna was tied to a stake in the Johor Chinese army tent. Johor Crown Prince Ibrahim stabbed him in the left side with a knife. Brunei Sultan Gulmubin stabbed him a second time...
The powerful men took turns using steel knives to let him experience what barbarism is.
The two countries were fighting, and the envoys were not killed. Valkenna never imagined that he would be tortured and killed by these native chiefs after he went on an envoy to Malacca. A trace of grievances lingered, and he appealed to their God.
However, Guo Lin and Chen Ze thought that killing the Dutch envoy would prevent the Dutch from knowing about the existence of the coalition forces, but they miscalculated. The Dutch forces have been invading Malacca for many years, and there are many traitors, big and small. Matt Sol
Governor Coe found out through other channels that the alliance countries intended to send troops to challenge the Dutch position in Malacca.
He immediately ordered the governor of the Moluccas, Diman, to be transferred to the governor of Malacca. This was a veteran colonist with rich colonial experience. When he was stationed in the Molucca Islands, he almost wiped out the tribes who dared to resist on the islands. He was regarded as
A hard-hearted person.
In order to enhance Diman's confidence in defending Malacca, Governor Matsolko increased the number of Malacca defenders to 4,000, including 1,200 Dutch native soldiers and 2,800 from Banten, Yogyakarta, and Molucca.
Add mercenaries from Ceylon and Bugis.
Despite this, he was still worried and sent Commander Peter Van Dam to lead 20 warships and 1,800 naval soldiers to patrol the Strait of Malacca. Among them was a "Sea Monarch" class warship. He believed that,
This behemoth is equipped with three decks, one hundred cannons, and a displacement of up to 1,500 tons. It will definitely scare away any intruders.
In any case, the Strait of Malacca is the lifeblood of Batavia's monopoly on trade with the East. The Dutch East India Company will fight anyone who dares to take advantage of Malacca! The red, white and blue flag will never fall!
??
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Guo Lin, Zhang E, and He Bin took a speedboat and planned to sneak into Sulawesi Island without anyone noticing and secretly contact the Gowa Sultanate. Unexpectedly, they encountered a storm at sea.

The wind blew and the boat drifted, until it reached a large island with high mountains and steep coast.
After finally landing the boat, I planned to replenish some food and fresh water.
"Stop, who are you?"
A group of blond, blue-eyed and white-skinned Western Yi soldiers surrounded them with muskets.
"Your Majesty, my order is over!" Guo Lin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, lamented.
