Almantha is just the beginning.

There were also more than 200 pure-blood Spaniards in Aport, some of whom were Almansa's bodyguards, others Spanish nobles who had been captured in the war, and whose freedom was not restricted after the Ming army took away their weapons and armor as they did with Almansa.

These people also hoped to use their own well-behaved excuses to prevent the Ming army from overthrowing the peace, but they did not expect that they became the target of the port people.

There are not many real aborigines in Agang, some are women, and the rest are all of mixed Spanish race, because the Ming army is still sitting in the port, most people are still in awe of the court law compiled by Zou Yuanbiao.

But from the time Almansa was attacked, they were gradually reducing their fear of the Spaniards.

"You're a governor, and you can be a robber?"

In the prison of the port yamen, Chen Mu sat in the corridor with his arms crossed, looked at Almansa in the prison, sighed helplessly, and said: "The punishment does not avoid the doctor, but the first person to be imprisoned is the governor, which makes me feel embarrassed." ”

Almanza's condition was fine, although he was disgraced, but the leader did not dare to beat him too badly, not to mention that he was discovered by the patrolling officials at the beginning of the fight, and he was detained, and he only suffered a little skin trauma on his body.

"What did you do to make them dare to do it to me?" Almantha was frightened, not to mention these low-class hybrids, even in the Old World, even the richest merchants only dared to sneer at the knights, but did not dare to do anything with them: "He wants to kill me, and those who come up around him, they all want to kill me." ”

Chen Mu nodded slowly, of course he knew that those people wanted to kill Almansa, he said: "So I ordered you to be locked up here, not only to practice the law, but also to protect you from being killed, there have been many cases of attacks these days, all because of you, why do you want to grab that pack of cigarettes, you just go to me directly, will I still be stingy with a pack of tobacco?" ”

"I didn't do anything. The pack of cigarettes you want was bought by the chief of them and a hundred first-class leaders, and you don't want to think about it, can an ordinary person afford two packs of tobacco? ”

Things made Chen Mu feel a little tricky, not because of how difficult things were, but because bearing the love of the people would make people's hearts feel heavy, and then cause worries about future development: "He raised his leg and kicked you, just to defend his neighbors, who they bought with money, and they had to get that pack of cigarettes." ”

"But as soon as he kicks you, he will want to kill you because you make him afraid, and if you live, he thinks that you are capable enough to take revenge on him, against his family, on his friends, so they are going to kill you."

Almansa felt gloomy, the old governor sat on the straw of the stone bed with his legs crossed, his eyes did not look at Chen Mu, but just asked, "When can I leave here?" ”

Chen Mu had people put a cushion under the straw, he didn't want the people who were imprisoned for making mistakes to feel that the Ming army was treating him differently, nor did he want to treat Almansa too harshly - he did feel annoyed that Almansa was robbing the people of tobacco.

Isn't this telling everyone that the Ming Army treats you badly? Forcing you governor to grab cigarettes from the common people.

But obviously you don't dare to ask for it, if you open your mouth, can you still not give it to you?

In good conscience, Chen Mu really didn't feel that he was bad for Almansa, even if he wrote to Bernal to tell Chen Mu that he would risk his life for his country to do such a thing, so he didn't blame Almanza.

"You will be detained here for a few days, and after the Yamen will try to rob you of a pack of tobacco worth three taels of silver, you will need to pay nine taels of silver in compensation, and you will be punished ten times as much as you are a nobleman who oppresses the people, and you will also have to pay a fine of ninety taels to the port yamen.

"In the end, your punishment is ten days of imprisonment, compensation of eight taels of silver, and a fine of eighty-one taels, which I will pay for you first, and will be paid by Spain in the peace agreement."

Almantha didn't care about these punishments at all, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mu and repeated, "When can I leave here, leave Acapulco." ”

"That's what you're asking."

Chen Mu could see that Almansa had completely lost confidence in this port, and even simply wanted to escape from here, losing face, he could understand, and said: "Acosta has already gone to Mexico with my agreement, it may take a month or two or more, and when the peace is negotiated, you can leave here." ”

Negotiate peace.

It seemed that these two words could make Armansa's eyes resurface, and he asked Chen Mu, "General Chen, do you know what it's like to see a city thrown out of your hands?" ”

Chen Mu: "I don't know. ”

He looked at the old governor with a playful look, and his meaning could not have been clearer: "I am afraid you know this more than I do, and much more. ”

For better or worse, Spain will lose many cities in the New World, not just Acapulco.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu no longer stimulated the old man, he changed his comfortable posture and said: "Let's say something happy, I asked people to find all the aboriginal tribes in the New World under the current control of the Ming Dynasty, and invite their tribal leaders to come to Agang, and it will be very lively next." ”

But obviously, Chen Mu's happiness was not Almansa's happiness, and the old governor drooped with serious bags under his eyes and said, "This really can't make me happy, my people, are they okay?" ”

"Not so good."

Chen Mu shook his head, looked left and right, and said, "You may have noticed that in the past two days, there have been several people in the prison, and in the county, except for the chickens and dogs, the people are fighting with yours. ”

"But this situation will soon stop, my county commander is still capable of doing things except being a little stupid, and he is waiting for someone to kill first."

Almanza's eyes widened in front of Chen Mu for the first time at this time, and asked, "Who will kill first?" ”

"Yes, after the analysis of my staff, people are not fighting each other because they are Spaniards, you can rest assured, I did not deliberately lead the people to bully the Spaniards, I really want to kill you, you don't have to wait until now."

"They will do this because of the vengeance that has been born from the great difference in status and power with you for a long time, especially now that you are a prisoner of war, and I think it is good for me."

Chen Mu did not shy away from his dark psychology, and talked eloquently: "The Spaniards are not my people, and those who surrender to me will be protected, but you are very brave in the war, and people are more willing to be prisoners, I hope that this short-term chaos can make the people under my rule less afraid of the Spaniards, and let them know that if anyone makes a mistake, the law can punish them, but no one in the world can take revenge on the people of the Ming Emperor." ”

"The people here don't understand the law, and they don't trust the law, this is something you Spaniards didn't do well, so Agang needs dead people, I don't know who will die on both sides, but only one person will die."

"If the law is not practiced, it is a dead letter, and the murderer dies."

Zou Yuanbiao said, if you don't kill a hundred people, he will bloom everywhere, so that he can't control it. /14_14088/
