Who is this person who can actually make Hongyi bow his head and admit defeat?
Ding Yunyi was curious.
Seeing that Mrs. Yu's matter was settled and everyone dispersed, Ding Yunyi stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Master Guo."
Seeing a stranger greeting him, Mr. Guo was startled and returned the greeting: "Who are you?"
"I'm at Dingshan." Ding Yunyi said with a slight smile: "I just saw Mr. Guo's bravery and bravery in standing up for our people. I admire him in my heart, and I would like to invite Mr. Guo to have a bowl of tea."
Mr. Guo was also a generous man and was not polite after hearing this. He followed Ding Yunyi to the tea shed.
Ding Yunyi ordered tea for him, and Master Guo looked him up and down: "Brother Ding is not from here, is he?"
"Yes, I came from Fujian as a silk trafficker." Ding Yunyi said immediately, "You haven't asked Mr. Guo about his name yet?"
Mr. Guo said smoothly: "I'm Guo Huaiyi."
Guo Huaiyi? Guo Huaiyi!
That Guo Huaiyi who led the Taiwan Uprising?
He is from Nan'an and was originally a subordinate of Zheng Zhilong. After the Dutch invaded Taiwan, he became a tenant of the Dutch and lived in Chican City. He was a sociable person, made many friends, and was eager to do justice. Originally, he was a subordinate of Zheng Zhilong.
, he and many immigrants were engaged in land reclamation and lived a relatively free life. The Dutch invasion turned them from free farmers into tenants, and they were brutally exploited and enslaved, and they were also persecuted.
I never expected that I would meet Guo Huaiyi here.
It’s no wonder that although Guo Huaiyi was a tenant, he worked as a subordinate of Zheng Zhilong, and later he stayed in Taiwan because he didn’t want to continue to be a pirate. He had a wide network of friends and was generous and righteous. Although he was only in his thirties, he was well-known in the local area.
He is very respectable. Even the Dutch dare not not give him some face.
Guo Huaiyi never imagined that the young man opposite had so many thoughts on his mind. When he heard that he was doing business with Hongyi, he frowned and seemed a little unhappy.
These expressions did not go unnoticed by Ding Yunyi. He sighed: "The current situation is difficult. In order to make a living, I can only associate with those red barbarians. Please don't blame me, Mr. Guo."
Guo Huaiyi is also an open-minded person. Since the other party said this, with a smile on his face, he no longer took it to heart.
Ding Yunyi asked tentatively: "Just now I saw that Hong Yi was very afraid of Mr. Guo. I don't know why?"
"There is an agreement between me and Governor Putmans of Hongyi." Guo Huaiyi did not hide anything: "Some time ago, a 'Viking' from Hongyi disappeared at sea..."
When Ding Yunyi heard that it was actually related to the "Viking", he immediately became concerned. Guo Huaiyi said:
"The 'Viking' is missing. It is said that there are a large number of Governor Putmans' personal belongings on board, as well as a large amount of property looted in Taiwan. Putmans was angry because he could not find the 'Viking'.
They wanted to transfer the losses to us and raise taxes. I thought that no one could survive if this continued, so I called on everyone to stop listing things so that there would no longer be a seller in Relanja City.
Can't buy anything..."
Ding Yunyi's face showed a smile, this was the market strike.
Guo Huai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Putmans became angry and threatened us. I knew that with our help we would never be able to fight the Hongyi, so I wrote a letter to my old boss Zheng Zhilong for help. A few days later
God, Putmans actually sent someone to find me and said that he would sign an agreement with me. As long as we reopen the market, he will try his best to restrain his subordinates."
Hearing this, Ding Yunyi suddenly realized that although Hongyi was a little wary of Guo Huaiyi, he was not afraid of him. Zheng Zhilong must have played a big role in that agreement.
After Guo Huai finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "Brother Ding came to Taiwan from Fujian. He must have passed through Penghu, right?"
Seeing Ding Yunyi nodding, Guo Huaiyi lowered his voice: "I heard that a great person has appeared in Penghu recently, and he has the same surname as you. His name is Ding Yunyi, and his nickname is 'Ding Jiu Ming'. Have you ever seen him?"
Pass?"
Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry.
Ding Jiuming? When did he get this nickname? He shook his head: "Master Guo, I am just a businessman with no capital. He joins forces with others to do small business. How can I recognize such a person?"
Seeing some disappointment in Guo Huai's eyes, Ding Yunyi asked curiously: "I have heard of the name Ding Yunyi, but how do I call him 'Ding Jiu Ming'?"
Guo Huai smiled and said: "He killed several giant sea pirates one after another. We all said that this man had nine lives and could not be killed no matter what, so he got this nickname."
Ding Yunyi didn't expect this, so he heard Guo Huai sigh: "It's a pity that we don't have such a Ding Jiu Ming in Taiwan. Otherwise, if he raised his arms and the crowd responded, Hongyi might not be able to stand here."
.”
Ding Yunyi was greatly moved. Could it be that Guo Huaiyi was already plotting to rebel against Hongyi?
He wanted to get involved in Taiwan, so it was unknown whether this person could be a helper. But he was originally a subordinate of Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong had just done him a favor. It was hard to say what Guo Huaiyi's attitude was.
He tentatively asked, and sure enough, Guo Huai was full of praise and admiration for Zheng Zhilong. At this point, Ding Yunyi also knew that it would be impossible to win Guo Huai to his side in a short time.
.
Putting aside this thought, we talked about the customs and customs of Taiwan for a while. When the conversation was getting lively, a man hurriedly came into the tea shed and called "Master Guo".
Guo Huaiyi pointed at this man and smiled: "He is my companion Wu Hualong."
He is also the person who will join Guo Huaiyi in the future, Ding Yunyi thought to himself.
Wu Hualong and Ding Yunyi said hello, then turned to Guo Huai and said: "Master Guo, Candinius and Marco had another dispute there. They were arguing endlessly, and no one was willing to give in. Thanks to Mr. Xie for mediating,
Otherwise, it is possible for the two of them to fight."
"Hey, these two people always refuse to make people feel at ease." Guo Huaiyi shook his head in distress: "Brother Ding, I originally wanted to continue a long conversation with you, but something happened there and I had to rush back.
, forgive me.”
When he heard the words "Mr.
have a look."
Guo Huai was very happy. He had already felt that he had fallen in love with this young man and was reluctant to leave. After hearing what he said, there was no reason for him to refuse. He immediately agreed.
Ding Yunyi was about to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper saw that he was a friend of Guo Huaiyi and refused to accept the tea money no matter what. Guo Huaiyi didn't care and told Ding Yunyi not to worry about the tea money.
Ding Yunyi no longer forced himself, thinking that although Guo Huaiyi was also a tenant, compared with others, he was probably a little closer to the powerful.
