The young man narrowed his eyes, then buried his head on his lap, and snored.

Of course, this snoring sound was exactly what he made on purpose.

Putmans and Siviri looked at the young man who was snoring and stopped moving, with excitement in their eyes.

Putmans rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his right hand, stretched out from the gap of the wooden stake, and touched the key on the young man's waist.

The young man only had one key hanging around his waist, and Putmans didn't have to worry about which key it was.

Putmans' right hand was getting closer and closer, but the young man didn't seem to notice it, and he was still snoring.

Putmans took a deep breath, feeling uneasy.

His eyes kept flicking back and forth between the young man and the key.

Finally, he grabbed the key on the young man's waist.

He held the key tightly and stared fixedly at the young man.

"call!"

Putmans let out a long breath, and slowly withdrew the hand holding the key.

The key on the young man's waist didn't seem to be firmly fixed, and Putmans pulled the key back with a light tug.

Siviri looked at the key in Putmans' hand, and his heart beat violently.

The captives behind the two tightly covered their mouths and looked at Putmans with bright eyes.

After a few breaths, Putmans finally took his hand back.

The young man didn't even move from the beginning to the end.

After Putmans got the key in his hand, he hurriedly dug a hole in the ground and buried the key in it.

After doing all this, Putmans and Siviri looked at each other with a relieved expression.

After that, the prisoners in the cell stayed quietly in the cell as if nothing had happened.

Putmans looked at the sun in the sky, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

The young man leaning against the outside of the cell seemed to be completely asleep, staying there, motionless, snoring non-stop.

At last night fell and the moon rose.

From the beginning to the present, during this period of time, no one came over except the young man outside the cell.

The moon was getting higher and higher, and it was already midnight in the blink of an eye.

The young man leaning against the cell stood up from the ground, yawned and walked towards the distance.

Putmans and Siviri looked at the young man who left and hurriedly dug the key out of the ground, and hurriedly walked towards the big lock hanging on the cell door.

Siviri looked around, eyes full of vigilance.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the large lock hanging on the cell door opened in response.

Putmans glanced around, and then took the big lock off the gate.

At the same time, the young man came to Zhao Wen's big tent.

He cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and said, "My lord, the matter has been settled."

"Okay, very good, you did a good job." Zhao Wen walked up to the young man, patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face.

"Back to your lord, this group of Hongyi's plans are like this..."

As he spoke, the young man revealed the plans of Putmans and Siviri.

Zhao Wen chuckled, and said with a playful look: "Hehe, this group of people's calculations are pretty good."

"Send down the order to withdraw all the soldiers in the port, and only send a small group of people to monitor them. Remember, we must not let them find us.

Now their manpower can only drive away one ship. If they want to run, let them run. "

Zhao Wen looked at the people in the big tent and said.

"Subordinates will obey your lord's orders!"

Song Hu and the others in the big tent stood up, bowed their hands at Zhao Wengong, and then went outside, arranging Zhao Wen's order.

"Keep your voice down, don't make any noise, or you don't want to escape."

Putmans bent over, turned his head, looked at the people behind him, and said in a low voice.

Under the shadow of the moonlight, a group of people sneaked on the ground and hurried towards the port.

It was not long before they reached the port at last.

Originally, they were all ready to fight to the death with the soldiers in the port, but they didn't expect that there was no one in the port.

Five sailing battleships and five treasure ships lay quietly on the port, and it was pitch black above.

Putmans stopped, looking at the quiet and deserted port, his face was full of doubts.

"Isn't it too smooth for us? We escaped so easily? I really can't believe it? These soldiers are extremely fierce in combat. They don't seem to make such low-level mistakes, right?"

All this went so smoothly, Putmans really couldn't believe that he and his group escaped so easily.

Siviri turned around and said to Putmans, "What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. As for why it went so smoothly, it must be that these soldiers didn't expect us to escape.

Alright, stop talking, since we have already escaped, let's go quickly, don't waste time. "

After Siviri finished speaking, he led his men towards a sailing battleship.

Although Putmans was very puzzled, he didn't think too much, and followed Siviri directly.

Chapter 312 The Ryukyu King's Worries

Half an hour later, a warship sailed out of Zeelandia's port in the dark, heading towards Batavia under the cover of darkness.

"My lord, they have already left."

A soldier rushed into Zhao Wen's big tent and told Zhao Wen the news that Putmans and Siviri had left.

Zhao Wen waved his hand with a smile on his face, "It's fine to go, it's fine to go, we'll see if they take the bait or not."

Mao Chengzuo sat next to the big tent, looked at Zhao Wen's smiling face, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, I really don't understand why you let these people go?"

Zhao Wen sat on the main seat, slapped the table, and explained: "If we don't let them out, how will the Hongyi in Java know about us? If we don't let them out, how will they know that the city of Zeelandia has been taken by us?" gone?"

"It doesn't seem to be good for us to let them know about this." Mao Chengzuo said with some doubts.

Zhao Wen slapped the table, and said calmly: "Why is there no benefit? There are many benefits in this."

As he spoke, Zhao Wen expressed his thoughts.

The reason why Zhao Wen let Putman Shivili leave was to pass the news of the fall of Zeelandia through the mouths of these two people.

And Putmans and Siviri have personally experienced Zhao Wen's firepower, and the two of them will definitely describe Zhao Wen's firepower to Hongyi in Java.

And Zhao Wen's weapons are hundreds of years beyond this era, and Hongyi on Java may not be able to believe what Putmans and Siviri said.

After all, these weapons of Zhao Wen are placed in this era, as long as they have not seen them with their own eyes, not many people believe them, especially Hongyi who is extremely proud now.

If they don't believe it, they will definitely organize a fleet to attack Zhao Wen.

After all, the geographical location of Zeelandia City is very important to Hong Yi.

If they came to attack Zhao Wen, they would hit Zhao Wen's arms, and Zhao Wen would kill as many as they came.

After the killing, Hongyi's troops in Java must be empty, and then they will send troops to attack Java.

If they believed that they would not attack Zhao Wen, then they would definitely shrink their troops to prevent Zhao Wen from attacking them.

And Batavia is their most important stronghold in Southeast Asia, they will definitely shrink their troops to Batavia.

In this way, the strength of other places is bound to weaken.

At that time, Zhao Wen will be able to defeat these Hongyi colonies in Southeast Asia one by one, and finally send troops directly to Java, approaching Batavia.Uproot Hongyi's influence in Southeast Asia.

Zhao Wen looked at the people in the big tent and explained his thoughts.

"Okay, my lord, this method is good. Whether Hongyi believes it or not, it is good for us.

Hongyi doesn't believe it, they will definitely send troops to take back the city of Zeelandia, and then we can lay an ambush for them.

If it is believed, they will definitely shrink their forces and gather all their forces in Java.

There will be fewer troops in other places, and Java is thousands of miles away from their country. It is not so easy to deploy troops.

At that time, we can break down one by one. "

Mao Chengzuo's eyes lit up, he patted his thigh and shouted excitedly.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu also kept applauding Zhao Wen's method.

Zhao Wen let out a long breath, and said slowly: "However, I think the probability of Hongyi coming to attack Zeelandia City is relatively high.

These Hongyi are unscrupulous and arrogant on the sea, and they have never suffered such a big loss here.

With Hongyi's temperament, I think the probability of coming to attack us is higher.

That's enough, let's not talk about this, even if Hongyi wants to attack us, it won't come in a short while, let's deal with the Zeelandia city first. "

……

In the next few days, Zhao Wen and his people were busy cleaning up Zeelandia City.

After 2 people cleaned up for three or four days, the entire city of Zeelandia has been cleaned up.

The broken rubble and collapsed houses in the city have been cleared away.

After cleaning up these things, Zhao Wen sent people back to Phi Island to transport some cement and craftsmen.

When all the craftsmen and cement were delivered, the entire city of Zeelandia became a huge construction site.

This time, the design drawings of Zeelandia City were designed by Zhao Wen himself, and the advantages of the bastion were absorbed in the design.

The entire city is more than four times larger than the original city of Zeelandia, divided into inner city and outer city.

Inside the inner city are buildings such as soldier garrisons, offices, grain warehouses, and ammunition warehouses.

There are shops, streets, common people's houses and other buildings in the outer city.

The walls of the outer city are surrounded by a large number of bastions, each of which is equipped with a large number of weapons.

Almost all the new cities are built with cement, which can effectively resist the bombardment of solid shells in this era.

Near the port, Zhao Wen also built ten coastal defense artillery forts, and these forts were all made of cement.

Standing on the port of Zeelandia City, Zhao Wen looked at the five treasure ships and four sailing battleships floating in the port, and said to Zhao Daniu and others beside him, "Is there anyone among us who can control these four sailing ships?" Battleship people?"

Several people looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly.

"My lord, the way these four ships are controlled is very different from ours. The sails they use are soft sails, while ours are hard sails.

Hard sails are easy to control, but soft sails are not so difficult to control.In the past few days, our sailors also tried to control it, but they couldn't control it at all. "

Mao Chengzuo pointed at the four sailing battleships, his face full of helplessness.

Zhao Wen wasn't surprised at all. Western-style soft sails are indeed much more difficult to maneuver than Chinese-style hard sails.

And it takes a lot of manpower to hoist the sails.

However, Western-style soft sails have an advantage that Chinese-style hard sails do not have, that is, the speed of Western-style soft sails is much faster than that of Chinese-style hard sails.

On the surface of the sea, the faster the speed, the greater the probability of winning.

The reason why Zhao Wen built treasure ships before was because the speed of these sailing battleships was too fast.

It is not so easy for ordinary ships to catch up with them.

In naval battles, it is very likely that these sailing battleships will take advantage of their speed to defeat them.

The treasure ships are large in size and carry many weapons.Even if a treasure ship loaded with weapons encounters a battleship with sails on the sea, there is no need to be afraid of them at all.

The five treasure ships are lined up side by side, and they are not afraid of these sailing battleships relying on speed to intersperse.

You just need to fight steadily and keep firing shells.
