From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 867

Riding a horse, he quickly moved forward without any hesitation.

The woods on both sides quickly retreated. After a heavy rain, the weather suddenly turned cooler, which made people feel much better.

Ullian Bertin didn't know why the Governor was so anxious, but he could feel the emotions contained in the words in the letter, which were urgent, excited, and full of fighting spirit.

"Go to Da'an Society immediately, meet up with Lucas Benson, and fully cooperate with him to complete the elimination of spies and undercovers."

The letter was very concise, but Ullian seemed to realize that he was not alone on the way to Da'an Society, and there should be others.

Sure enough, as he expected, when he arrived at Da'an Society, seven or eight old friends had gathered together.

It was strange that these people who didn't get along with each other were willing to listen to the words of Lucas Benson, the old fool.

The wooden eight-immortal table in the courtyard looked very old. Seven or eight Dutch people sat here. They were the core members of Dongfan Island.

With the order from the Governor-General and knowing the basic situation, everyone temporarily put aside their past grudges and long-standing disagreements and began to work together to plan cooperation.

"I emphasize again that the leader of the exploration team is Zhou Yuan, the loyal and martial king of Dajin."

"He is the core figure of the entire Dajin, and the soul pillar of the southeast coast. Capturing him is almost equivalent to capturing Dajin."

Lucas said in a deep voice: "The Portuguese fleet was annihilated, the island pirates fled, and we have digested it for more than 30 years and have completely taken over Dongfan Island."

"If we capture Zhou Yuan, we can further expand to Dajin. The wealth there is innumerable. Our progress and income in one year may exceed the sum of the past."

"I believe this last sentence is enough to make you tempted."

The other few people nodded without hesitation. They have no principles and only money in their eyes.

If they can get money, even if Lucas is the leader, they will have no complaints.

Lucas continued: "Capture Zhou Yuan and invade Dajin, this is our goal."

"But on the contrary, Zhou Yuan is indeed a smart general and a great commander."

"He came to the island alone and wrote everything in the letter. It is not easy to deal with him. We need more preparation."

He pointed to the map on the table and drew lines on it with a pen.

"The current intelligence shows that Zhou Yuan is in Jilong Society. I suspect that he and Cai Husheng have reached a consensus and even formed an alliance."

"He wants to use Cai Husheng to continuously influence other places, and eventually lead the Formosa people to rebel against us and disintegrate us from the island."

"And what we have to do is to lead more local natives to completely kill his plan in the cradle."

At this point, Lucas raised his head and said in a deep voice: "There are many villages and families under your jurisdiction. I need you to mobilize them, gather them into several armies, and surround Jilong Society, leaving Zhou Yuan helpless and nowhere to escape."

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Jilong Society is a large community, with more than 3,000 people. If you want to surround it, at least tens of thousands of troops will be divided into several groups to cut off all roads.

In this way, it will become a large-scale and long-term war.

How to calculate consumption? How to calculate expenses? How to calculate merit?

But Lucas didn't seem to care about these. He just said in a deep voice: "Today is August 20th. Please gather the army within ten days and attack Jilong."

"I will assign detailed indicators and plans to everyone. Everyone must complete the task."

He smiled and said: "Mr. Cobb will also pay attention to this battle. He sees everyone's performance."

The last sentence made everyone very excited and their expressions became much more excited.

Cobb Grant, the governor of Batavia, is the most powerful head of the entire company.

If he can make a contribution this time, he will have a bright future.

...

Hesitation, regret, retreat, mixed feelings in his heart.

After the impulse that night, Chu Feifan began to regret for a long time.

Why should I turn back!

Why don't I continue to go into the mountains!

For those extremely stupid villagers? For those who have nothing to do with me? Damn, do I have to do it!

If they want to die, they can die. If they don't want to die, they can resist. What choice and what fate they have is none of my business.

I shouldn't have turned back and should have continued to go into the mountains.

Chu Feifan regretted it all the time, but every time he gathered up his courage and was ready to turn around and go into the mountains, a huge wave of inexplicable surges in his heart.

Yes, these people have nothing to do with him. What happened here has nothing to do with him.Everything has nothing to do with him.

He can ignore anyone, and he can be completely at peace.

But thinking of those scenes, Chu Feifan actually found himself a little sad.

This kind of sadness is difficult to express accurately in words, just like... just like an older person, every time he thinks of his unreasonable old parents, he is dissatisfied with them in his heart, but also has a faint sadness.

It was this sadness that made Chu Feifan grit his teeth and move forward.

At dusk that day, he stopped, just because he saw a large number of young and middle-aged men in front of him, speeding up their journey.

They held scimitars and spears in their hands, and carried bows and arrows on their backs, obviously going to join the war.

"It's over... It's really going to be a big battle, even the villagers are out, Jilong Society is going to be finished."

Quietly hiding in the woods, Chu Feifan was sweating coldly. At a glance, there were thousands of people here!

If all of them went to Jilong Society, then Zhou Yuan, that stinky boy, would have nothing to do.

No! I have to go to see Ye Qingying quickly! Go quickly!

After getting the news, you have to rush back immediately, otherwise Zhou Yuan will not be able to bear it.

Chu Feifan growled: "I won't sleep tonight, hurry up and get there tomorrow."

...

The moon is still round in the middle of the night, but the weather is not so hot.

Ye Qingying sat by the well in the backyard of the tile house, quietly looking at the moon, her face calm and her eyes like water.

Beside her, the woman who had been silent for a long time dared not speak, she could see that Ye Qingying was full of sorrow.

The sorrow came from the unknown, from the completely uncontrollable situation.

I couldn't see Zhou Yuan for a long time, and the key information could not be passed to him. At present, I dared only stay where I was to preach, and dared not move forward in the direction of Jilongshe.

The Dutchman's hook was waiting in front, and if I took another step forward, I was afraid that I would be treated as a fish.

But...

Thinking of this, Ye Qingying sighed, but at present, it seems that villagers from all over the country are gathering and organizing themselves to form combat power, as if they are going to do something big.

The situation of the junior brother has reached an extremely dangerous level. I really don’t know how he will face such a situation. He doesn’t know enough about this place. He doesn’t know that these indigenous people cannot be used.

For more than 30 years, they have been honest for a long time. Even the Sediq people chose to surrender.

The war is about to begin. The resources in hand cannot be transferred. Everything seems to be a dead knot.

There must be something to force this dead knot to open.

Ye Qingying took a deep breath. If there is no fish tomorrow, she will send the message even if she risks her life.

After all, it can’t be delayed.
