Chapter 302 They actually sent troops?!
"Mr. Sultan, can't you see it? The Dutch not only did not agree to your request, but also deliberately delayed, while speeding up the recruitment and training of soldiers. What are they doing? Is it just to guard against the group of pirates? If that's the case, they can directly refuse your request, or they will agree, not as ambiguous as it is now. Edward stood in front of Sultan Agung II of Mataran, who was wrapped in luxurious silk, covered with a jewel ring on his fingers and a beautiful golden crown on his head, explaining the current situation to the sultan in a clear way.
"You mean that the Dutch are just perfunctory to us, but in fact, they want to do something to us?" Next to him, Zuoyo, the prime minister of Ageng II, blinked his evil triangular eyes and looked at Chen Yanqun in front of him like a dangerous jungle snake, as if thinking about the true intention of his explanation.
"Then what else do you have to explain, dear Prime Minister?" Edward turned his head and asked with a smile to Zuoyo, the most trusted prime minister of the young Sultan Agung II.
"Then why did they agree to the request of Sultan Bandan? And they don't want to promise us Mataran. Do they think that we are weaker than Wantan? Age II, who was only 18 years old, deliberately knocked on the floor with the power of his hand, signaling that he was the owner of this palace.
"Of course not, Sir Sultan, have you heard of the story of mouth and teeth?" Edward saluted the Geng II and smiled respectfully enough.
Sultan Ageng rolled his eyes and turned his rescue eyes to his resourceful prime minister Zuoyo. Zoyo's dark and wrinkled old face squeezed out a humble smile: "What this gentleman means is that if his mouth is broken, his teeth will be hurt. Although there are often disputes between Mataram and Wandan, we are all Javanese after all, and the Dutch are foreign invaders. They only Promise Wan Dan, and perfunctory to us, is to hope to appease Wan Dan and deal with us Mataran first.
A Geng Sultan couldn't help standing up, and there was a trace of panic on the young face: "Prime Minister, is what you said is true or false?"
"If you, an idiot, listen to me and wait for those Chinese to take action first, it would be great if we followed him." Prime Minister Mayo cursed the young and impulsive, stupid and greedy master in his heart.
--------------------
However, on the surface, he still did not dare to show too much. He just thought for a moment and nodded: "I dare not deceive the Sultan. This may have a big surname."
"So what should we do? Otherwise, the prime minister will go to Jakarta in person and explain to those Dutch people. I even hope that they can raise the price. If not, forget it. There is no need to use force. Sultan Agen nervously held his golden power built by Westerners and looked at Zoyo eagerly.
"No, Mr. Sultan, you are sending the Prime Minister out of the fire pit, and if you do so, it will only make those Dutch people think that the Kingdom of Mataram is weak and bullied, then it will be even more unfavorable." Edward quickly stood up and said.
"There is still a bit of conscience, at least this Englishman is righteous." Zoyo couldn't wait to jump up and strangling the sultan who wanted to kill himself as a scapegoat.
"Yes, if we do this, those Dutchmen will definitely send troops to attack us now." For the sake of his old life, Zoyo would rather make things more serious. At that time, not only will our Matalan be attacked by the Dutch again, but you will be ousted by them and even kill you.
"What should I do? Mr. Edward, you know, after listening to you and agreeing to our request, I agreed to write a letter to ask the Dutch to raise the price. Now that such a big thing has happened, you should take responsibility. Sultan Aggen immediately turned his spearhead and aimed at the British envoy.
"Yes, Mr. Edward, now, at this point, you really should bear this responsibility." Although he was just grateful for Edward's speech, it did not mean that Zodate cared about the life and death of a foreigner. If it hadn't been for the fact that the other party's escort was outside the palace and it was an elite force with a firearm, Zoyo would even ask the sultan to arrest this guy directly and give it to the Dutch to appease the anger of the Dutch.
"Do you two think so? You know, you know, you two, now is not the time to shirk responsibility, but should consider how to eliminate those Dutch. You know, their troops are now trapped in Borneo, and even their fleet has become the trophy of Lanfang, and you have also seen that Some things should be known that the current Dutch are the weakest time. If you give up this opportunity, then I can only regret to tell you that there will only be one owner of Java Island. Edward curled his lips, and the behavior of the two stupid and timid guys made people want to take out the left wheel around their waist and shoot them in the forehead.
"No, Mr. Edward, you can't do this. Sultan Wandan is a capricious villain, despicable and greedy. If you cooperate with him, it will lower your identity." Zoeyo was really anxious and quickly came forward to apologize.
"So, what should I do? You know, Your Excellency Sultan Bandan has promised to send 10,000 elite soldiers ready to attack Jakarta at any time, but you are still hesitating here. You know, I don't have so much time for you to think about it. I must think about the overall situation and the overall situation of our East India Company. Hearing Zoyo's words, Edward almost laughed out loud. This guy is not describing themselves, is he? If it hadn't been for the regular etiquette exercise, maybe his pirate ruffian would have been exposed in this minute.
"They promised to send troops?!" At this time, Agen II jumped up with an unbelievable face. They actually sent troops."
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Jingliwen to inquire about it. The army of Sultan Wandan has gathered there." Edward smiled and straightened the skirt of his chest. Now, I hope you can give me a positive answer.
"But what if you don't keep your promise?" Zoyo's evil triangular eyes turned around several times and asked Edward.
"You are simply an insult to our honest British Empire. You know, we have a firm foothold in India because we are more honest than those capricious Dutch. Our relationship with those earth kings is very harmonious, and the trade between them and us makes them very Rich, not like you, there is only such a small palace, and even the weapons of the army can't be matched.
And I will immediately provide you with 500 muskets and nearly 2,000 spears. This is just a deposit. If you can capture Jakarta, our British Empire will hand over the place to the rule of the earth king who was the first to break through Jakarta, and the wealth stored by the Dutch in it will be the first to attack. You will get two-thirds. Think about it... How much wealth the Dutch have plundered from your hands every year, and how much gold and spices you have taken away..."
--------------------
"How's it going? Is it done?" When the guard commander waiting outside the Matalan Palace saw Edward walking out of the palace with an uncontrollable smile, he left his cigarette butt in his hand and stepped forward.
"Of course, with my three-inch tongue, it's no wonder that those ignorant fools won't be fooled." Edward proudly took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was a contract full of agreements between the two parties, and the Sultan of Mataram had stamped it. Of course, the seal of the British East India Company was also bright red and clear. However, the official seal of the British East India Company is forged and engraved with a radish. However, it is absolutely no different from the seal of the East India Company, because this radish seal has been strictly identified by two East India company employees and opium smugglers Pleasant and Ham.
Because the two Liang Pengfei want to fight in the Netherlands, they have always kept the lives of these two guys, because they are still useful to Liang Pengfei, and naturally they have to squeeze out all the utilization value. Otherwise, he will not call Liang Pengfei.
"So what should we do now?" The commander of the guard asked Edward.
"Of course, he will return to Wandan and tell the land king who is still hesitating that the Sultan of Mataran has promised to send troops, and it is 20,000 horses. If he continues to hesitate, if Sultan Mataran takes the lead, Java will have no place for them to stand in Wandan." Edward laughed with an extremely obscene and deceitful manner.
"You are really despicable." The commander of the guard rolled his eyes and handed a cigarette to Edward.
"I know that this is not despicable. According to our respected General, this is called wisdom, and it is because I have such a mind that he arranged me to be this vertical and horizontal lobbyor." Edward picked up his cigarette, tidied up his clothes, restored his elegant gentlemanly demeanor, and waved the civil war in his hand. Well, now it's time for us to set off. If the attack is late, the general's military tactics will not be forgiving.
"...I need to go to the city. The Spanish businessman Arrozzo said that a man there was sick and needed my help. I will be back in about a few days." Zheng Tianfang looked at Xiaoxiu with an reluctant face in front of him and comforted him in a low voice, looking around for fear that Huang Tiancheng would suddenly appear.
"How many days?" Xiaoxiu's plump little mouth pouted high and looked reluctant.
"In just a few days, really Xiaoxiu, have you seen me lie to you?" Zheng Tianfang looked at Xiaoxiu's lovely and coquettish appearance and couldn't wait to take a bite. However, this idea only dared to think about it in his heart, because his mission time had come. In any case, as long as I can complete this task and survive, I will definitely marry you. Zheng Tianfang swore secretly in his heart.
