On 29 October 1676, reports from China mentioned a self-proclaimed legal heir named Sieeuw ongh, who claimed to have saved thousands from death and still kept them under his protection. However, no one had seen Sieeuw ongh or could confirm his claims. Despite this, many Chinese officials supported him due to his significant power. This influence led the young Pinghlamon to submit to him and the city of Canton to surrender to Pinghsal. There was no confirmed news from the government of Nanckin, though rumors had circulated before.

The main reason Taijsongkon changed his attitude towards the Dutch was after their envoys returned from Canton without success, following fruitless negotiations and gifts about 2 months earlier. The shift was attributed to a letter sent by the Dutch to the old Maijt, translated into Chinese, and the positive testimony of Nachoda T Samqua upon the arrival of a known ship in Canton.

Taijsongkon began to strengthen his position, as further details would show. To understand his initial submission and later recovery, it was noted that his change in attitude started after he saw his state more firmly established.

30 August 1676, from Ternate:
The Council of Tidore informed us that due to their great inability, they would not be able to write to Your High Mightinesses this year. They requested us to ask Your High Mightinesses to excuse them for this. The local governor plans to personally visit soon after leaving Ternate to possibly resolve the long-standing disputes between the Council of Ternate and His Highness once and for all. If His Highness, who is visibly aging and is 105 years old, were to suddenly pass away and the crown were to pass to his son, Quitchil Cheram (who is strongly supported), the unresolved disputes could leave the Company in a difficult position between the two young and inexperienced kings.
His Majesty will also be urged to address the complaints of citizen Hendrik van Driel from Amboina, as recommended by Anthony Hurt, regarding the piracy committed by the Papouans of Salwatti. He will try to persuade and warn the Papouans to prevent further excesses.
A Spanish letter from the Padres of Chiauw was sent to us via the fluyt Helena, requesting it to be forwarded from here to Batavia and then to the fatherland to be delivered in Cadiz, Spain. This letter is now enclosed for Your High Mightinesses to forward as appropriate.
Here, since our last report to the Company's cashier, the sum of 1033 rijksdaalders has been counted, for which the following bills of exchange have been issued to Your High Mightinesses:

On 20 May, around 10 or 11 in the morning, Pieter Andries Landouw, aged 29, was at the office and was surprised when Kommis Landouw showed him and other young men a copy of a letter. Kommies Von Lutzow also had a copy, along with others whose names he could not recall. He stayed quiet but informed heer Ardesch about it in the afternoon while passing by the house of Van Elk. Heer Ardesch was very surprised and suspected Landouw of spreading it, who then named Landouw as the one who had shown the copy that morning. Landouw stated he was not present at the meeting and, being quiet and isolated while doing his work, had never heard anything that could provide insight to the police. He hoped that writing this letter would not cause him any unpleasantness, as he believed he could not refuse such a service to a respectable man.

P. van Rees, aged 38, born in Pasuruan, a clerk at the General Chamber of Accounts, living in Parapatan, declared that between 10 and 11 on Saturday, 20 May, while visiting heer Brouwer at the revenue collection office, he received a copy of the letter from heer Ardesch for reading. He also made a copy for himself because the letter caused a stir and people had different opinions about it, so he wanted to verify the truth. He had nothing else special to share.

Karel Willem Frederik Don Laetgow, aged 27, born in Batavia, a clerk at the General Chamber of Accounts, living on Evenweg Saharie, declared that he had never had a letter from heer Ardesch in his possession. He had never told heer Limmer that people were talking about going to heer Reynst's house after the meeting on 22 May to commit mischief there. Onderschout Limmer confronted heer Laetgow face to face.

On 5 June 1629, Petrus de Nijssen and Hendrik Wightman, respected members of the Council of Justice of this government, appeared before the honorable commissioners. They brought with them the sailmaker Albert Franken from Amsterdam and the sailor Gideon van Loveren from Serdam, both crew members of the sloop Landouw. These men, upon examination by the honorable independent fiscal of this coast, Robbert Weir, testified as follows:

They had departed from Trincomalee on the evening of the previous Monday aboard the aforementioned sloop. The next day, they arrived at Ponto Pedro das Pedras. From there, they set out to sea with the sloop and a cargo vessel (lastdrager) for their journey back. At that time, the cargo vessel was about a musket shot behind them to leeward.

The cargo vessel soon caught up and came alongside Landouw, but both ships passed each other without damage. However, when the cargo vessel approached a second time from behind, it broke and took the sloop's flagpole and swan neck. On its third approach, the cargo vessel, sailing with full sails, pressed so hard against the leeward side of Landouw that the sloop damaged the cargo vessel. The crew of Landouw had tried to fend off the cargo vessel. The commander of the sloop then called out to the cargo vessel, "We are sinking, we are sinking, is this not enough, throw it away."

On 19 August 1756, N: Ringholm wrote from Timor that in Landouw, on 8 August 1756, there were still about 400 people, including women and children, who needed to be sent away. He mentioned that the only thing left to wait for was the boats. This letter served as a guide for the 46 Landouw people who had stayed for a long time with the wife of the regent of Landouw in Bulba. He also reported that the day before, he had left the settlement of Landouw after ordering the fence around it to be knocked down and the houses to be burned. He was sending all the Europeans and Balinese away as quickly as possible, as they were more needed at Costi than there. He would follow the next day with some regents on the boat de Vrijheit. The regents together would send the people as uwel Edele Agtbare had written, but they did not have enough boats.

If Paulus van Hemert, the son of Willem van Hemert, lived outside the city or province upon his father's death, the house, stable, and coach house were to be used by his other brother's son, Johannes Junius van Hemert, until Paulus van Hemert returned to live in this city.
