The elders really didn't have the confidence to confront Han Du head-on, otherwise they wouldn't have fled overnight as soon as they got the news, not even taking care of their nest.
In fact, although these people are extremely powerful, in the final analysis, the high-level officials they control are just businessmen. Businessmen forget their loyalty when they see profit. They can naturally swarm them when there is a benefit, but once they encounter a slight difficulty or setback, they will definitely be the first to want to run away.
Take the time Han Du went to Yaeshan Island for example. If Lao Zhu was at the helm, no matter how strong Han Du was, Lao Zhu would not run away like that and would definitely fight against all odds. In that case, it is still unclear who will win.
But the elder and others would just run away blindly. The key point is that this is not one person's idea, but everyone thinks so. I have to say that this is the tragedy of businessmen, who never have the courage to fight to the death.
After thinking for a while, the elder said: "The firearms of Han Du's navy are very sharp, far better than bows and arrows. If you want to kill him, he is no match for him if there are few people. You must mobilize a large army to surround and kill, and exchange lives for lives. Only then can we succeed.”
"Firearms?" The King of Java was confused. "I have heard of firearms, but it is said that gunpowder is most afraid of moisture. Java is extremely humid, so firearms should not be used, right?"
The elder looked at the Javanese King with a sneer and said, "Don't count on this king. Han Du has improved his firearms so that they won't get damp at all. Not to mention the humidity, even in the pouring rain, his firearms are still sharp. Incomparable.”
You can know the late autumn by watching a fallen leaf. Although the King of Java had never met Handu, he immediately became nervous when he heard that he could improve firearms like this. Now, he finally understood why the elder insisted on letting Han Du change his plan when he saw him coming. Facing such an extremely smart person, the arrangements I made were really the same as nothing.
"Then let the elders make arrangements, and I will just act accordingly." King Java grinned.
The elder nodded with satisfaction. He just liked the Javanese King's temperament. Although he was not very smart, at least he knew how much he weighed and would not be blindly arrogant. This is also the reason why the elders and others chose the King of Java.
After a pause, the elder said: "Your Majesty must first let Han Du lower his guard."
"It's simple, but it's amazing that I lower my profile. If he is still not satisfied, I can lower my profile even lower." The King of Java was able to transform from a prince who was not taken seriously in the past to become the real king of Java. , relying on the word ruthless. He is not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself.
When he was bullied by other princes, he never resisted in the slightest. It could be said that no matter they were beaten or scolded, he always greeted them with a smile. It was precisely because of these that he was subconsciously marginalized by several princes when they were hostile to each other. No one would think that he would pose the slightest threat to the throne.
"If this can make Han Du let down his guard, then Your Majesty, you underestimate him." The elder said with a smile.
The King of Java frowned after hearing this. He had already reached this point. If Han Du still didn't believe it, then there was nothing he could do. He asked in confusion: "What can the elder do?"
"Isn't the solution here?" The elder picked up the documents reported by Yu Dushu and said with a smile: "What Han Du wants most now is the news about these people, so let's give him this news."
After looking at it, the King of Java smiled slightly and said with certainty: "Senior, I'm afraid the person Han Du is looking for is you. I remember that you came to Java at that time." After saying that, he said directly Staring at the elder's face, trying to spot anything unusual.
It's a pity that the old man disappointed the King of Java. His expression remained calm from beginning to end, but he nodded and admitted, "Your Majesty expected it to be true. Han Du came to see me and others."
The King of Java was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then asked with a smile: "If the elder told me this, aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to Han Du without stopping?"
"We are all adults. Your Majesty, it is better not to deceive me by deceiving children." The old man shook his head and looked down on the King of Java's methods, and continued: "If your Majesty thinks that I will hand over my husband and others to Han Du , you can ask Han Du to let you go, then you are totally wrong. You must know that it is also a serious crime for a vassal country to conceal anything from the Ming Dynasty. I don't believe that your envoys in the capital did not tell you what happened there. thing. Besides, the Ming Dynasty was founded on filial piety. If I knew about you, the Javanese king who killed your brother and imprisoned your father, do you think Han Du would let you go?"
When the King of Java heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he smiled in agreement, and said: "In this case, please let me know what we should do."
The elder nodded with satisfaction and said a few words to the King of Java.
The next day, the King of Java came to the port with great grandeur. After the King of Java arrived, he quickly boarded the ship to pay homage to Han Du without any hesitation.
"Come down to Java and meet the angels from above."
Han Du saw that the Javanese King was a bit young, frowned and asked, "Are you considered the Javanese King?"
"Exactly. The little king pays homage to the angel." King Java paid homage again.
Han Du saw that this man knew etiquette and knew numbers, so he bowed back and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. Han Du, the great Ming Dynasty Jing Hai Bo, pays homage to your Majesty."
Seeing Han Du's polite return, the Javanese King suddenly smiled with great satisfaction. When a vassal king pays homage to Han Du, he is not paying homage to Han Du, but to paying homage to the Ming Dynasty. But even though Han Du was a count, he should naturally pay homage to the king of Java. Of course, it's okay if you don't return the favor. Anyway, no vassal king would dare to take this matter to the Ming Dynasty to complain.
Even if he went, the people in the Ming Dynasty would not pay attention to it, because those civil servants were even more arrogant when facing the vassal countries.
Han Du's return gift was enough to give the Javanese king face.
"I'm here to get some news from the king."
"Please give me the angel's instructions." The Javanese King lowered his posture.
Han Du nodded and said, "I wonder if a huge fleet came to Java about ten months ago?"
"No." The Javanese King replied without hesitation.
"Oh?" Han Du was a little curious as to why he was so eager to reply. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Javanese King carefully and said, "Why is the king so anxious? Why don't you recall it carefully before answering this uncle's question?" .”
The King of Java was not impatient at all, but explained to Han Du without realizing it: "Angel Mingjian, in the past two years, there has indeed been no large fleet coming to Java. The fleets that can come to Java are very similar to Java. Familiar, very few strange fleets have arrived. However, ten months ago, a strange small fleet came."
