With this in mind, Miguel got in touch with the Phnom Penh dynasty, and in order to let the other party see his strength, he also intended to sell two hundred muskets to the other party, and after earning a lot of money, the other party really became enthusiastic about them, and even sent an envoy Ke Moyi to negotiate with him.

The two sides negotiated, and other things were easy to say, including importing goods from here and bringing them back to the Western world, including that they could sign long-term contracts for the purchase of muskets, etc., for which the Phnom Penh dynasty was also willing to pay a large amount of silver, but when it came to giving up a city to rent to them, Kemoyi directly refused.

"The Phnom Penh dynasty is a sovereign and territorial country, and it is impossible for them to lease a city of land, which is a provocation to the royal family, and is not tolerated by the king, ministers and people. ”

The negotiations had to be stopped, and just as Miguel was still thinking about how to convince Kemoy, war broke out suddenly, and the ships flying the five-star flag suddenly sailed into the port of the Phnom Penh dynasty, and after a burst of shelling, they began to land. Everything was moving so fast, and by the time Miguel got the news and sent his lieutenant Cruz to bring people to check on the situation, everything was settled.

As a result, Cruz did not have the opportunity to see the moment when the mercenary navy was in power, which laid the foundation for their demise soon after.

The port of the Phnom Penh dynasty was opened by mercenaries by force, and peace talks were not necessary in the possibility. Miguel decided to wait and see who would win and who would lose, and what kind of profit he would make.

Without making him wait long, before the war could be resolved, Kemoy appeared and expressed their king's willingness to lease a seaside city to the Spanish navy, with no compensation, but only to ask them to send mercenary ships out of the sea.

In previous negotiations, Envoy Miguel had boasted more than once about how powerful their navy was, how terrifying the power of their artillery was, and so on. In a word, they describe themselves as invincible in the world.

Kemoi bowed his head with the intention of King Polamo, much to the delight of the envoy Miguel. It's just that he didn't agree right away, because in his eyes, mercenaries are a better partner. The other party has a greater variety of novel goods, and now the Phnom Penh dynasty is very dangerous, and it is about to be occupied by mercenaries, so why not have a good talk with the mercenaries, in such a sensitive period, he may be able to get more benefits.

Just saying that he had to think about it, he sent Kemoi away, and then the envoy of Miguel called his lieutenant Cruz, and asked him to talk to the mercenaries on his behalf, only this time the rented city was changed from one to three.

Miguel was a great learner, and during this time he learned that merchants in the East always liked to bargain when talking about things. Sometimes the asking price may be a scary amount, but the actual price is very low. When he first arrived, he suffered a lot of losses in this area.

Now that he has experience, he wants three cities, and in his opinion, if he can't get along, he can bargain, and at least two cities are no problem. He did not know, however, that it was impossible for the mercenaries to negotiate with them on the territorial issue, and that he was only asking for misery in doing so.

Receiving the order, Cruz arrived at the port of Kampot on a merchant ship disguised as a warship, but what he didn't expect was that his large ship was not allowed to pass. In desperation, he had to drive a small boat into the port and met Long Yuntian, the commander of the 3rd Division of the 1st Marine Army, who was commanding the overall situation here.

With Yang Chendong's speech, Long Yuntian was not only no longer the acting head of the regiment, but became the commander of the third division, needless to say, the gratitude in his heart was needless to say, he had already made up his mind to follow the sixth young master for the rest of his life.

At this time, he was commanding the Fourth Division of the Navy to cooperate with the sixth young master's northern attack. The navy Leng Feng is a dragon at sea and a tiger on land, and they are powerful, although the Phnom Penh Dynasty sent 100,000 troops to support, but in the hands of Long Yuntian, they did not get any benefits.

He fulfilled the order of the sixth young master very well, destroyed the 50,000 navy of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and captured most of the enemy. and restrained the other party's 100,000 army, Long Yuntian is still in a good mood these days. After receiving a report from the soldiers below, it was a Spanish general who wanted to see him, and with curiosity and a good mood, the two sat face to face in a compound in the port of Kampot.

Cruz has a typical Western face, with white skin and blue eyes. But Long Yuntian, who often walks on the sea, has seen a lot of people, so he doesn't care, he politely invites the other party to tea, and even hands him a cigarette to show his hospitable side.

Why are mercenaries so powerful, in the final analysis, in addition to Yang Chendong's thoughts playing a great role in it, it is commercially developed. It is precisely because of money that there is now an invincible army, which can gallop anywhere at will. Long Yuntian thought that the other party was going to do business with him, which was also a credit, so he met the other party enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, the difference between expectations and their imagination is too big, the other party actually wants to rent a seaside city, one mouth wants three, and also deliberately pointed out that the mercenaries and the Phnom Penh Dynasty are now fighting each other, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty has agreed to their request to rent the city.

The indirect meaning is already very obvious, the Phnom Penh dynasty agreed, if the mercenaries do not agree, then it is very clear where the Spanish warships will go next.

"Damn, only twenty warships are so arrogant, they don't want to live." After hearing the other party's request clearly, Long Yuntian's face showed an angry look. The translator sent by the First Academy on the side did not speak, and he knew that some words could not be translated casually.

"What did he say?" Cruz looked at the translator in confusion. Although he couldn't understand Chinese, he could see that this Long Yuntian's expression seemed to be a little wrong, and his mood seemed to be a little unpleasant.

"Master Long said that he can't do anything about this matter, and he needs to ask for instructions from above." The translator had no choice but to smile and find an excuse.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you to make a decision, but please hurry, our warship is not far away, as long as you agree, we can immediately support the artillery and help you repel the soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty." Cruz said proudly, as if one of his actions could dominate the battle. "Okay." The translator nodded with a smile, and then conveyed Cruz's meaning to Long Yuntian, but at the end he added some words of his own, "Master Long, this matter should still be decided by consulting the dean." ”

"Well, yes, please advise the sixth young master." Long Yuntian nodded and agreed, and asked the translator to arrange a place for Cruz to rest, so he went to the telegraph room and reported what happened here.

The telegram was quickly sent to Yang Chendong, and after reading it, his face was as calm as water, but the movements in his hands had completely exposed his thoughts. The telegram was tightly clenched by his right hand, "Yang Er, plan to telegraph." ”

Yang Er, who rarely saw the sixth young master angry, immediately took out the pen and paper he carried, and at the same time he was also sad for some people in his heart, although he didn't know what the content of this telegram was, but if he provoked the young master, it would be no different from provoking the Lord of Yama.

The telegram was sent out, and soon it reached Long Yuntian's hand, looking at the telegram in his hand, his expression was first surprised, then excited, and then solemn, and then shouted outward: "Come on, invite that Spanish lieutenant to come." ”

Three hours later, Adjutant Cruz reappeared aboard the Spanish warship and reported the negotiations to the general's envoy, Miguel.

"Oh? They promised? Miguel's face was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, General, they not only agreed, but they also fully fulfilled our request, and will give us three cities as a foothold. Hehe, in fact, this is also easy to figure out, these territories were not theirs in the first place, and they will naturally not feel distressed if they are given out. Of course, they also made two demands. Cruz smiled and took out the contract he had signed with Long Yuntian.

"What requirements?" Miguel asked rhetorically.

"First, find out the command of the Phnom Penh Dynasty military in the south, and then end them, and second, hand over the envoy of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, Kemoi, to them." Cruz didn't have any strange look on his face when he said these two requests.

Not only him, but even Miguel did not show a curious look. Probably because these two requirements are nothing to him at all, or maybe they are still an opportunity for them to show their strong combat effectiveness, a way to show their means.

"Okay, promise them, this time we will use the people of the Phnom Penh Dynasty to let the mercenaries take a good look at our strength, so that they will dare to be dishonest in dealing with us in the future."

"Yes, General, did I bring Chemoy here?" Cruz had a wicked smile on his face.

Locked in the room, Kemoy was still anxiously waiting for Miguel's answer. This time, in order to understand the siege of the royal capital, the king even agreed to the matter of cutting the city from the land, so it can be seen that the royal capital is already very dangerous. Now he only hoped that Miguel would soon agree to his request.

After a long wait, every minute that passed was an ordeal for him, and finally there was a knock on the door, and Cruz's voice rang, "Mr. Messenger, our general wants to see you." ”
