Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 616

Zhu Youjian's operation not only made Cruy a little confused, but even Zheng Chenggong and others were puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

They don't know what the emperor's intention is, and they are not trying prisoners in the country, so what's the use of asking the Dutch to write these.

Although they had doubts in their hearts, Zheng Chenggong and the others didn't dare to ask, they could only wait and see what happened, believing that the emperor would solve the mystery soon.

Yu Qian walked up to Cruy, put the paper and brush in front of him, and immediately a soldier brought an inkstone and ink.

Seeing that Cruy hadn't reacted yet, Yu Qian reminded him coldly:
"Write down what you said just now on this piece of paper, and how to form a joint fleet with Spain, England, and Portugal to attack Luzon. Write it down together, and sign it."

Cruy, who was still dizzy just now, felt much clearer after being reminded by Yu Qian, and began to weigh the pros and cons of writing a confession in his heart.

If Daming wants to kill him, he doesn't need any evidence, just behead him.

After all, his status still can't be compared with the governor of Batavia, even the governor was killed by Daming, what is he.

When the Ming emperor did this, he was obviously fighting against the royal family of the Netherlands and Spain. If his performance was good enough, he might still have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Cruy decided to perform well and try to get the understanding of Emperor Ming, so he immediately picked up the brush and looked up and down and began to write.

But after writing a few letters, he stopped again. He had never used a brush, and the letters he wrote were not even recognizable to him.

"My lord, I don't know how to use this pen. Do you have a quill?"

"What quill?"

Yu Qian was stunned by Cruy's question, how did he know what kind of quill pen.

Zhu Youjian immediately exchanged a quill pen from the system, and threw it to Cruy:

"I'll give you the quill. If you dare to play tricks, you will die a miserable death."

Yu Qian bent down to pick up the quill pen, and his mind went blank. He couldn't understand how to write with this thing.

Paper was invented by me in China.Before paper was introduced to Europe, they used reeds to write on sheepskin, but the reeds were very hard and often scratched the sheepskin.

Later, someone discovered that putting the reeds in the animal dung to ferment, taking them out and washing them after a few months worked very well.

So the writing implements used by Westerners later were all reed pens made by this method.

Until a girl was writing a thank you letter to her sweetheart, a feather suddenly fell from the sky. She picked up the feather and dipped it in ink to write, and found that the effect was better. Gradually, the quill pen replaced the reed pen.

In Europe, the quill has been used from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, and has a very important position in European history.

However, quills are not all goose feathers, there are also other bird feathers. It was not until the advent of fountain pens that quills disappeared in the long river of history.

The introduction of the origin of the European quill pen is not about the number of words. It is mainly used to prove that China's technology was far ahead of the West before the Ming Dynasty. Why was it so different from Europe during the domination of the Eastern Captives?

Seeing Emperor Daming take out a quill pen and stick it on the floor in front of him with a flick of his hand, Cruy's heart jumped wildly.

Colonel Netherland couldn't understand why the Emperor Ming had such a strong hand that a feather could penetrate the floor when he threw it.

"Don't be in a daze, Your Majesty's patience is limited, be careful not to let His Majesty regret it."

Calling Cruy a little silly, Yu Qian reminded Colonel Netherlands again.

"Yes, I will write it right away, and I promise to satisfy His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Without hesitation, Cruy picked up the quill and began to write vigorously.

It has to be said that once someone's life is seriously threatened, they can always exert their abilities beyond the ordinary.

Cruy is such a person. He not only clearly wrote about how the Netherlands occupied Taiwan and Java, but also explained in detail the formation of the joint fleet.

And also add oil and vinegar, and write all the things that don't exist.

In his writing, the royal family of the Netherlands directly became pirates, even more greedy and bloody than pirates.

Later, he was worried that Emperor Ming would be dissatisfied, so he gave a detailed introduction to Batavia's massacre of Ming people several times.

Carefully checking the confession he wrote, Cruy felt that it was not enough, and he wrote down on paper how to form a combined fleet to attack Luzon.

It took about half a day to finally write down the confession in its entirety.

In fact, it is a confession, it is better to say that it is the certificate submitted by Colonel Cruy of the Netherlands to Daming in order to survive.

Since he was kneeling on the ground to write, after a long time, Cruy couldn't get up at all. After handing the nomination certificate to Yu Qian, Cruy's body shook and fell to the ground.

Yu Qian ignored the fallen Colonel Nedland, but took a closer look at the nomination certificate.

But after reading it for a long time, he didn't see any tricks, because he couldn't understand the characters written by others.

He didn't understand that he couldn't make a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, so Yu Qian handed Zheng Chenggong five or six pieces of paper written by Cruy.

"Master Hou, see if it's true, Yu Qian really can't understand."

Zheng Chenggong smiled slightly:
"My lord, wait for a moment, I will check and check."

Someone might say, does Zheng Chenggong understand Dutch?

Of course I understand, his father Zheng Zhilong can speak several languages.

And their Zheng family often did business with the Dutch, which also made Zheng Chenggong proficient in the Dutch language.

Zheng Chenggong carefully checked the confession written by Cruy.

He suddenly found out that this guy is really talented, and he called the royal family of the Netherlands worthless.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Colonel Netherlands a few more times, with both approval and disdain in his eyes.

What he praised was that the confession was written to benefit Daming, but what he disdained was that he dared to insult his own country like this.

To be honest, Zheng Chenggong looked down on such a person, a standard scum.

Zheng Chenggong returned Cruy's confession to Yu Qian, and couldn't help laughing:
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Colonel Netherlands is a talented person, and he wrote a very good confession, but he actually..."

Zheng Chenggong explained the contents of the confession to Yu Qian and Zhu Youjian in detail.

Yu Qian and Zhu Youjian both had smiles on their faces after listening.

Zhu Youjian got up and said slowly:

"Cruey, your performance is good, I decided to save you a way out, but the death penalty is unavoidable, so I decided to send you to Ceylon to mine for five years.

As long as your expression is good enough, you will be released after five years, someone will escort them to Ceylon, and inform the person in charge of the mine not to embarrass Cruy. "

Cruy was overjoyed when he heard that, and finally moved the Emperor Ming with his actual actions.

Not only did he not have to die, but even more than 500 soldiers under his command were pardoned for capital crimes.

Although he has to work as a volunteer for five years, it's a hundred times better than being beheaded!

Colonel Cruy of the Netherlands kowtowed to Zhu Youjian excitedly on the ground:

"Thank you, His Majesty, Emperor Ming, for the grace of not killing, thank you Cruy!"
