Jose is a unification faction, and he has always looked down on independent Portugal, but he said indignantly: "As far as I know, those soft eggs in Portugal have given up on the Ming Dynasty and are shrinking to Malacca as grandsons!" ”

"No matter what the Portuguese do, we can't break this agreement easily! And according to what I said, Daming has no spices at all, and we can't provoke that powerful country! Regasby said firmly.

The latter is the most important, they want spices, not endless wars. The most tempting thing for them now is not the mighty Daming, but the Nanyang, which is full of fragrance.

"No, it's different now, we need to do something!" José shook his head very firmly, and then seriously revealed the news: "Captain Regasby, you have just returned to Fort San Petro, and I am afraid you do not know the current situation in the South Seas. The latest news shows that the Ming people have already started to buy spices here in the South Seas and resell them to the damned Portuguese! If we leave it alone, we will have a hard time getting cheap spices in the future, and we will even be driven out of here by the Ming people."

A Spaniard next to him suddenly interjected, stifled a smile and said, "José, you're not joking with me, are you?" Can the Ming people threaten us? Can you expel us from the South Seas? I used to deal with the Ming people, their ship was small and broken, and I captured one of their ships, and found that there was an earthen cannon on board, but I never dared to fire at us. I was very curious at the time, and I was told that they were ...... I'm afraid that the ship will fall apart! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the Spaniards everywhere burst into laughter, and it seemed that they all looked down on that ancient country from the bottom of their hearts.

José looked at them with pity, hoping that their ship would meet that mighty fleet, and then be sacked by the other party and slapped by Da Ming.

However, he undoubtedly had an intention to find Regasby, that is, he said in a straight voice: "The Ming is a backward country, but they have a lot of fine goods, they have a lot of gold, they can buy Carrick sailing ships from damn Portugal, buy Portuguese heavy artillery!" Now the reason why Da Ming is here to compete with us for spices is that the Portuguese are behind it, in order to help Da Ming expel me, and then the Portuguese can sit on the whole spice of the South Seas. ”

Hey?

Listening to José's analysis, everyone's faces couldn't help but become solemn. If the Ming people had the support of the Portuguese behind them, with the support of ships and cannons, then they really had to be cautious.

Regasby didn't take the Ming people seriously, but he had to prevent the damn Portuguese from being behind him, frowning slightly, and asked calmly for a long time: "Jose, what are your plans?" ”

Jose's eyes immediately flashed with joy, and he clenched his fists and said with a fighting spirit: "The Ming people have built a base on Luzon Island, we have to give them a little color and destroy the city they built!" ”

"No, the city built by the Ming people is very powerful, we can't fight with them on land! They already have the support of the Portuguese behind them, and they will definitely build forts, we can't do that! Regasby shook his head firmly, disagreeing with this plan.

Jose bumped into a nose of ash and said in a reluctant voice: "Captain Regasby, then let's form a fleet dedicated to sniping the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty!" This can not only make them suffer huge economic losses, but also deter these Ming people who don't know the height of the sky, how about it? ”

"Yes!" Regasby knew that they were invincible at sea, and this was undoubtedly the best solution.

José looked delighted and said, "Captain Regasby, I have already recruited thousands of men, as long as you lend me a Carrick sailboat, I will guarantee that I can wipe out all the caravans of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Regasby glanced at Jose deeply, daring to attack the new city of the Ming Dynasty was just a pretense, and the real intention was to borrow a ship from him, and then sack the Ming merchant ships that had often been haunting the South Seas recently.

These Ming merchant ships were engaged in the spice trade, and it was inevitable that they would carry large quantities of spices on board. It's no wonder José is so aggressive, as long as his plans go well, he will become a real Monopoly.

After weighing it, Regasby chose to agree to the request.

At his current level, he no longer simply chases wealth, but also wants to seek status. Once the importance of the South Seas is recognized by the king, the position of governor will be established here, and with his strength he will likely be able to obtain this position.

It is precisely in this way that it is in his personal interests to purge the Ming caravan.

Early the next morning, José excitedly left Cebu Island with his fleet to begin his pirate plan.

Under the blue sky, there is a vast expanse of pure water, but the sea is as quiet as sleeping.

A fleet suddenly appeared here, breaking the tranquility of the sea, and sending a few waves towards the pristine island in front of it.

After several days of sailing, the Armada finally arrived on the island of Luzon.

Wow......

As the fleet drove along the coastline, out of nowhere, a few bare-armed children were shouting excitedly at the fleet, looking very excited.

"This is Luzon!"

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a bullfighting suit, stood on the bow of the boat, his eyes falling on this island. That green face, but it showed a depth that did not match his age, looking at this island with a slight distraction.

The Ming Dynasty had only a few days to sail with Luzon, but due to the sea ban, he ignored this golden island and ignored the unlimited business opportunities in the South Seas.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, especially the narrow-mindedness and selfishness of the ruling class, which has made him unable to complain.

"What are you thinking?"

But at some point, Hua Yingrong, who was wearing a dark brown embroidered long shirt, appeared here, tilted her neck and looked at Lin Haoran who was in a trance, and asked softly.

"I'm thinking! I have already taken this step with everyone, if it weren't for my push, would they dare to continue to go south and move back a gold mine for Daming! Lin Haoran's eyes looked melancholy, and he looked up at the sky to the south.

Hua Yingrong stepped forward and grabbed his waist and leaned her face on his shoulder, but she didn't speak. The hearts of the two people seem to be connected, and it seems that they are still communicating and exchanging.

Although she doesn't understand politics, she is an expert in business, and once almost became the successor of the Hua family. It is he who is good at business, but he understands that what this man is doing is great, and it is the most correct way to solve the current problems of the Ming Dynasty.

But she also knew that there was still a long way to go to accomplish these things, and she would definitely encounter all kinds of obstacles, so she suddenly replied softly: "I will try my best to help you!" ”

"Thank you!" Lin Haoran felt the tenderness of this woman, but pinched her chin and kissed Yinghong's little mouth, tasting this most flavorful woman.

Towards dusk, the fleet quickly sailed into a port, but the first stop was not Manila, but the United New City in Tortoiseshell.
