Putmans knew Comrade One well well, after all, the scene where His Excellency Devith, the former former chief of the senior official, led the remnant general to flee back to Batavia, was not long since.

Now that I heard that the former Dutch translator and the current pirate leader had died, Putmans was still a little surprised.

However, what was even more surprising was later: Cai Feiming clearly told him after that that the senior officials were preparing to hire all 14 Dutch ships and to destroy pirates in Xiamen about a month later.

Putmans, who was in chaos, had to ask Cai Feiming to provide more detailed information. He could not understand this logic: Why did the travelers who already had channels to purchase raw silk to go to the other side of the strait to fight pirates?

You should know that the Dutch fought to death on the coast, today they fought to the government, and tomorrow they cooperated with the government to fight Zheng Zhilong. All of this has a clear purpose: to obtain the right to trade raw silk. So when the time-traveling forces of the warehouse of raw silk were clamoring to go to the other side of the sea to cause trouble, the Dutch were stunned.

Cai Feiming naturally would not tell the Hongmao about the twists and turns. He simply told Putmans: The ancient aristocratic force entrenched on the Dayuan Island still maintains a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, so the elimination of pirates is a political reason. In addition, eliminating pirates will help the transit forces in the future monopoly of the raw silk trade.

After hearing what Cai Feiming said, Putmans understood. In European history, the kings cheated on the great nobles, and the great nobles slapped the king in the face more than the bull's hair, so he quickly put the situation into the situation: the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was trying to weaken the strength of the time travelers, so he assigned them to destroy the pirates.

Thinking of this, Putmans showed a clear smile on his face: "For me, helping the noble gentlemen to eliminate pirates is a noble cause. Of course, this matter needs to be discussed with the sailors. After all, you know, those people only have money and beer in their eyes."

"You guys only have money in your eyes, right?" Cai Feiming nodded with a smile on his face, then took out a document from the table and handed it to Hongmao: "These are several sets of compensation plans for hiring the Dutch fleet to fight. We can pay both goods and money, and take it back and discuss it with the crew."

"Very good, this document is timely, and I will give you a reply soon."

To be honest, the Dutch were unwilling to help from the bottom of their hearts. Because times have changed, now that time travelers have the right to trade raw silk, as third-party buyers, the Dutch naturally did not want a certain force to go further and monopolize the trade of raw silk.

This is the same as their unwillingness to help Zheng Zhilong attack his opponents in history: once any commodity is monopolized, the buyer will be in a dangerous situation. As global coachmen, they are very clear about this.

However, the Dutch will is useless.

Since the Dutch in history failed to stop Zheng Zhilong from unifying the country and monopolizing coastal trade, the same is true for today's time travel forces, even more terrifying than Zheng Zhilong: the time travelers have all their hard power, and any of the Dutch's wits are floating in front of Italian cannons and heavy machine guns.

Therefore, Cai Feiming was asking the Dutch for the openly fighting pirates. In fact, this matter cannot be shirked. As long as you think about the goods in the dock warehouse and future trade qualifications, the Dutch had to agree if they did not agree.

Moreover, the Dutch were not even good at mowing the foreign workers this time. Devith's fleet could take the lead in running away in the battle between the three parties of the officials and bandits and the United States to wipe out Zheng Zhilong last year. Putmans could not return to the official and load the goods after the event? If he did not fight hard, he would not only pay for his merits after the war, but also settle the accounts after the autumn.

So after a little analysis in the mall that night, the red-haired men knew that this time they could not escape. Apart from going to bargain tomorrow and trying to squeeze out more oil and water from the travelers, there was not much that they could do.

So, after a fierce quarrel the next day, the matter finally settled: the Dutch fleet will go on a war with the crossing crowd at some point in the future and go to the other side of the sea to find trouble for the pirates.

This time point is uncertain at the moment. Because Zheng Zhilong had just died, the official was still waiting for the reaction of the thieves in Xiamen. According to the predictions of the time travelers, it will take about 15 days to reach the beginning of preliminary news. The real opportunity to take action is not surprising in a month. Anyway, the time is on the side of the time travel forces. The longer it drags on, the more chaotic the mobs will be.

Just as the senior officials were clearly relaxed and tightly watching the situation across the sea, the first typhoon in 1628 came.

There was no detailed record of typhoons in the 17th century, at least in Taiwan. So when the wind circle came from the Philippine Sea, the crossing forces without satellites and computers could only provide a half-day early warning.

It was obvious that half a day was a little nervous. Fortunately, since May, all industrial and mining enterprises under the crossing forces had begun to prepare for disaster prevention. So when the storm came, most factories had stopped operating according to the plan, and workers began to urgently reinforce the buildings.

However, some people who first arrived in the treasure land still underestimated the power of the typhoon.

The typhoon that lasted for a day and a night was mercilessly running through the front. When the central wind of Level 12 blows across the Tainan Plain, a large number of wooden dormitories in Chikan area were blown away from the roofs, some of the houses collapsed, and the docks and shipyards along the Taijiang line were also severely damaged.

These are not the most important things: floods and heavy rains that come with typhoons are the killing weapons.

Due to the pioneers' spared no effort to transform, the large and small river channels, including Xingang Creek, were once very quiet: the sandbars and boulders in the river have been cleaned up, the waterway has been dredged, and the water flow is very smooth.

However, when the typhoon came, the mountain torrents caused by heavy rain rushed down from the central mountain range, and all the waterways in Tainan suddenly rose sharply. Many smaller streams and rivers quickly could not withstand the flow. The next moment, the flood began to overflow.

Then it was when the roof was leaking and raining overnight: at night tide that day, the water level of Taijiang River soared, and the streams that originally flowed into the Xuehu Lake from the plains encountered sea water backflow. Chikan New District and Beishi Island immediately became water swamped under heavy rain and backflow sea water.

The above are all the meanings that come into question. Whether it is the time travelers or the coastal people under their command, including the foreign sailors on the island at the end of the North Line, they all have sufficient experience and psychological preparation for this kind of disaster.

However, the only thing people did not expect was that someone died.

A crossing person died in the storm.
