Sonod is 43 years old this year, the age of a man who is young and strong. In addition, he has been the governor of the Netherlands to Taiwan for three years and has a high prestige in Taiwan. When he saw this, Encos' heartbeat could not help but accelerate violently.

Facing Sir Sonod's faint gaze, Encos lowered his head slightly and said, "Governor General, I think...I think this is the case. The Ming people should know our plan."

"Well..." As soon as he heard this, Sonod's eyes suddenly became a little sharp, "What's going on? Why did our plan leak?"

Encos became more and more panicked by Sir Sonod's glare. He quickly defended: "Governor General, we are not the only ones who know this plan, but even Zheng Zhilong and the others know it. I think the reason why this plan was leaked is likely to be related to Zheng Zhilong!"

"Zheng Zhilong?" Sonod pondered, and after a while, he nodded slowly. "It is indeed possible that the Ming people are the most unreliable. These people can do anything for money. They naturally have no burden to sell news, but..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Encos again, "Major Encos, this time you went to Macau with Lieutenant Colonel Rouen. After a conflict with the Ming people, not only Lieutenant Colonel Rouen was killed in battle, but even the two warships were captured by the Ming people. How do you think I should punish you?"

Encos laughed bitterly, "Governor General, I should indeed bear the main responsibility for this defeat. I have no objection to you in any way you punish me. However, before punishing me, I hope you can send back to the Netherlands the hundreds of letters I brought to my family from the officers and soldiers who were still detained in the Ming Dynasty to their families. In this way, I have fulfilled my promise to those soldiers."

"Hmph!" Sonod's face was a little gloomy and calm. Looking at Encos with a bleak face, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it, I won't send you back to the country for punishment, so I will demote your military rank to captain, are you convinced?"

"What... I'm convinced!" Encos was stunned for a moment, and nodded repeatedly. After such a defeat, he was already ready to take off his military uniform. Now he has only been demoted to one level. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Seeing Encos' overjoyed look, Sonod snorted, "Although you have been demoted to captain now, you still have to do some things. You have to go to Macau to find Governor Steve, the Governor of Portugal to Macau, and tell him the Ming people about rebuilding the Fujian Navy, and he will understand what he should do."

Encos' eyes rolled twice and asked curiously: "Governor General, are you planning to provoke conflicts between Portugal and Ming people?"

"It seems that you are not stupid yet." Sonod glanced at him with a squinted look: "This place is too far from our local area. It is very troublesome in terms of military force delivery and warship allocation. And according to your story, if the marquis of the Ming people rebuilt the Fujian Navy after the Fujian Navy is rebuilt, the difficulty of conquering the Ming Kingdom will rise sharply, so we have to take advantage of their navy not yet built and cause some trouble for them. This kind of thing is most suitable for the Portuguese to do."

Hearing this, Encos couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Governor General, you are so smart. This can not only break the Ming people's plan, but also weaken the Portuguese's strength. In the words of the Ming people, this is simply a stone to kill two birds!"

"Hahaha……"

Sonod, who was comfortable being slapped by this flattery, couldn't help laughing...

Just as Sir Sonod tried his best to weaken the strength of the Ming Kingdom, the fate of several people in Shengjing City, thousands of kilometers away from them, quietly changed.

In Shengjing City Imperial Palace, there is a palace built in the middle and facing north and south. This palace is called Qingning Palace. Historically, this palace was the residence of Huang Taiji and the Great Concubine Jin Zhezhe. But now for reasons that everyone knows, the owner of this palace has become Huang Taiji's great concubine Yijing.

Today, due to the clear weather, the great concubine of Yijing, Namuzhong, brought a few eunuchs and palace maids out to relax. As soon as he walked to the garden behind, he saw two childish figures cleaning the ground with difficulty holding brooms as tall as them.

Seeing these two childish figures, Namu Zhong frowned slightly when he saw these two childish figures, and turned his head to ask the eunuch behind him and said, "Sandezi, what is the eunuch in charge of the business? Why did such a small two people come to clean the back hall? Is there no one in our Qingning Palace?"

Sandezi, who was following Namuzhong, quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, please quietly and see who they are?"

Namuzhong narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. He couldn't help but take a breath, stretched out the orchid and pointed at the front and screamed: "How could it be Makata and Chenghuan? Who is so brave to let them do such rough work? The eunuch in charge, called him over, I want to ask him how many heads he has!"

"Shh..." Sandezi quickly whispered: "Master, have you forgotten? This was the emperor personally instructed me!"

"Your Majesty can't..." Namu Zhong stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech. Thinking of these two mothers, her originally frightened and angry expression slowly became helpless, and she shook her head and said, "Oh... these are the lives of two girls."

The eunuchs and palace maids following Namu Zhong looked at the two figures not far away who were struggling to clean the ground, and their eyes also showed regret, helplessness, and even gloating.

The two figures sweeping the floor were nothing but Zhezhe and Huang Taiji's biological daughters Makata and Chenghuan. As the daughters of the great concubines Zhezhe and Huang Taiji, their status was extremely respectable and they would be enthroned as princesses in the future, but because of Zhezhe, her two daughters instantly fell from the clouds to the ground.

Huang Taiji and Zhezhe have been married for many years. Originally, his feelings for Zhezhe were just "respectful to each other". As an ambitious man, Huang Taiji naturally did not have much leisure to devote himself to the love of his children. However, after learning that Zhezhe actually followed Yang Feng to the Ming Kingdom with him on his back, Huang Taiji was naturally furious. This had nothing to do with love, it was purely caused by a man's self-esteem.
