"Who knows!" The man next to him, with a long beard, naturally didn't know, and said casually, "I'm tired, whatever, I just want to relax and relax after I go ashore!" ”

At first, the man tried to speak, but heard cheers from the boat behind him. When I turned my head, I saw that my own crew members were all hugging the deck, and a person who did not look like a human or a ghost was cheering.

"God forbid, here we go again!"

"After I go ashore, I must hug the woman of the Wa Kingdom, no, no, no, it is the woman of the Ming Kingdom who sleeps with her for a few days!"

"Manila is so bustling, okay!"

“……”

Hearing this, he smiled and said to the people around him: "Captain, look, everyone is eager to relax and relax!" ”

When the captain heard this, he frowned, ignoring the cheers of his men, turned around, and looked again at the distant port of Manila with a telecular.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said in a nervous voice: "John, something is wrong, why didn't you see us Spaniards?" How do you look at it, it seems that they are all Mingren? ”

The beard, that is, John, said a little disappreciatively: "Those Ming people, only have profits to be made, and they are not flocking here. Captain, you don't know that the Ming people are probably the largest ethnic group in the world! ”

"No, John, come and see!" The captain seemed to be a little anxious, and suddenly reached out and stuffed the monocular into John's hand, and said eagerly: "Look at it, why are there so many Ming warships in the harbor?" Those boats are all soldiers, I'm sure I'm not mistaken! ”

When John heard this, he was a little unconvinced, and quickly took the monocular and quickly looked at it.

Not to mention, as far as the eye can see, the first thing I see is that I am attracted by those warships where the Ming army is stationed. There were no monoculars, but when I looked at it from a distance, I thought it was a sailboat from my country. After seeing the results clearly, I found that it seemed to be a warship of the Ming Kingdom. And at this time, there were already three warships of the Ming Kingdom, which had already set sail to meet them.

After looking at it more carefully, a bad thought came to John's heart, put down the monoculars, looked at the captain, and said, "Is it ...... Could it be that Luzon's side was captured by the Ming Kingdom? ”

He felt a little unbelievable to say this. Their ship has come to Luzon more than once. As far as they know about the behemoth of the East, it seems that they have little interest overseas, so how could the Ming Kingdom send troops to capture Luzon?

But if it wasn't for the Ming capture of Luzon, why couldn't there be any trace of the Spaniards on the docks? Not only is there no one, there are no warships, and there are no flags, which makes no sense at all!

The captain stretched out his hand to grab the monoculars, and when he wanted to look again, suddenly a crew member shouted with surprise.

"Look, there's a ship over there!"

"Hey, there's a boat coming over here!"

"What do you mean, this is to surround us, don't they know that we are here to give them silver dollars!"

“……”

The captain was taken aback and quickly turned his head to look. Sure enough, in a few directions behind them, I don't know when, a number of ships appeared, coming towards them. He hurriedly looked at it with a monocular, and was immediately taken aback and said, "John, quick, ring the bell, enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

"It's all Ming warships?" John asked, looking at the captain with a bitter expression.

When the captain saw that he was still standing here, he couldn't help but be anxious, and immediately put down the monoculars and shouted: "Nonsense, don't go ring the bell soon!" ”

John still didn't move, and said with a very ugly face: "Captain, do you think we can beat them, or can we escape?" Now our two ships are in urgent need of shore repairs! ”

Hearing him say this, the captain also collapsed at once, and he understood that John was right. He set out from Mexico with these two ships and crossed the Pacific Ocean to Luzon, and he was already exhausted, how could he fight another battle with a superior enemy, let alone be surrounded now.

Thinking about it this way, the captain was a little desperate. However, his face soon changed again, and he said loudly a little unwillingly: "Quick, throw all the silver dollars into the sea, and don't give Ming Guo a silver dollar!" ”

When he had said that, he himself had to run off the bow of the boat to do this.

When John heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly hugged the captain and said, "Captain, are you crazy?" We definitely can't escape, the Ming people know that we are doing this, and in anger and shame, do we still have lives! ”

At this time, although the alarm bell was not sounded, the ship surrounded by the Ming Kingdom was already close. The originally happy crew members on the ship can almost see the situation clearly with the naked eye. Suddenly, they all panicked. It is definitely not a good thing to be surrounded by Ming warships like this!

The captain had plucked up the courage to do this, but when John said this, this courage was suddenly lost. He couldn't do it, and he wouldn't be angry if he gambled with his life. He also cherishes his life, who would have thought that he would die in a foreign country like this?

In this way, after a while, the Ming warships slowly approached from all directions, and the expressions of the Ming soldiers standing on the deck of the Ming Kingdom could be seen with the naked eye. There was no hostility on this side, no cannon or anything else was on the side of the ship, and everyone gathered on the deck with their hands in order. In particular, John was holding a white flag from nowhere in his hand, climbing on the flagpole and waving it.

Soon, a Ming warship approached, while other Ming warships remained vigilant.

After half a day, the situation was reported to the flagship of the Ming army, that is, Zheng Zhilong: "Marshal, these two sailboats are really Spaniards. Both ships were loaded with silver dollars......"

The Spaniards scavenged silver from Mexico, minted it into silver dollars, and then came to Manila to trade, then shipped the goods back to Mexico and sold them in Europe. This is also the main source of a large amount of silver inflow in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

However, after the rise of the Dutch and the British, especially after the defeat of the Spanish armada, Spain itself ordered Mexico to ship all the silver dollars directly back to Europe for emergency relief. Luzon, on its part, is no longer the same as it used to be, going back and forth to the Pacific Ocean once a year.

The Spaniards on the Mexican side naturally did not know about the occupation of Luzon by the Ming Dynasty. This convoy crossed the Pacific Ocean to Luzon, and just crashed into the arms of the Ming army, and sent two ships of Mexican silver dollars.

When Zheng Zhilong heard the announcement, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was really a wealth that fell from the sky. However, he didn't think about embezzling it privately, so he hurriedly said to Liu Jinsheng beside him: "Tell Your Majesty, let Your Majesty be happy and happy!" ”

It's really a lot of money for nothing, and whoever it is, it's sure to be happy. Of course, the Spaniards are an exception.

Emperor Chongzhen happened to be in the chat group, and after hearing Liu Jinsheng's message, he was naturally very happy. Spain is still famous for its treasure ships. However, the richest fleet was the fleet that was brought back to Europe from the Americas. Originally, there was a famous time in history when England and the Netherlands joined forces to rob Spain's treasure fleet. It's just that this time on Daming's side, it was sent to the door by the Spaniards themselves.

Emperor Chongzhen was happy for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and his eyes turned to North and South America.

In fact, he has already begun to lay out North and South America. It would be strange for those who have crossed over from the afterlife, and if they have the ability, they will be able to spare North and South America. However, Nanyang and the Wa Kingdom have not yet been resolved, so he has never brought the affairs of North and South America to the surface. But secretly, there is also work.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen sent Jinyi Wei to secretly investigate the situation of the Spaniards' Pacific routes. I know that the Spaniards sold many Ming people as slaves to North and South America. At this time, there were already many Ming people in Mexico.

However, North and South America are too far away, and if you go back to the vassal king, I'm afraid it won't be so easy! But now, since the Spaniards have hit the muzzle of the gun, why do they have to do something, okay?

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen thought carefully for a while, then had an idea in his heart, and immediately replied to Liu Jinsheng: "Order Zheng Zhilong to put out all the seizures, so that the Ming people in Luzon can see the two boats of silver dollars!" ”

"Your Majesty means ......" Liu Jinsheng was a little excited, not knowing how to describe it, and finally confirmed in passing, "Put all the silver dollars out and blind their eyes?" ”

When I used to be a pirate, I sometimes came back from robbery, and I did it. The purpose is to boost morale and make the pirates they see more active the next time they go to rob.

"Yes, it is to let everyone see that there are mountains of gold and silver over there in Mexico." Emperor Chongzhen immediately confirmed, "It is better to publicize the wealth of Mexico." In addition, after staying in Luzon for a few days, even people brought silver dollars back to the Fuzhou Governor's Palace. Remember, if there are large ports along the way, you have to stop and advertise, understand? ”

Hearing the emperor say this, a thought immediately flashed in Liu Jinsheng's mind, shouldn't the emperor want people to rob Mexico? He wasn't sure, but he had a hunch that it was similar to what he used to do as a pirate.

After exiting the chat group, he conveyed the emperor's will to Zheng Zhilong. When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately became sensitive.

In the past, he was also a big pirate. This kind of stimulation is also understood. However, Mexico is too far away, and Daming is prosperous, and if it were him, he didn't think he would be moved.

Although Zheng Zhilong thought so, but the emperor's will had been made, so he would do it.

As a result, there was a sensational scene in the port of Manila.

"Look, the imperial court sailor has caught two boats, and at first glance they are Xiyi's, everyone go and see them!"

"Not necessarily, sailboat, don't we have a sailor in the imperial court!"

"You are stupid, just these two broken ships, how can they be the imperial court sailors? Besides, didn't you see the situation just now when the imperial court sailors surrounded him and arrested him? ”

"It seems that there is really Xiyi, go and see it!"

“……”

The Ming people of Luzon had a special affection for Xiyi, who used to be high and was finally trampled underfoot, because of the massacre, this hatred for Xiyi could not be forgotten in a short period of time.

In this port, there are many merchant ships that come to Luzon to trade, and merchants from the mainland also come to watch. As a result, the Ming people here gathered more and more.

Fortunately, on the port side, it was originally a heavily guarded place, and there was no shortage of soldiers. There were soldiers to maintain order, but there was no chaos.

When the two sailboats were escorted to the harbor and the Spaniards were escorted off the ship, the crowd of onlookers became a sensation again.

"I'll go, this Xiyi hasn't taken a bath for many years! The wind stinks for three miles, and it smokes me to death! ”

"I must have been floating on the sea for a long time, where did it come from?"

"This is what you don't understand, Xiyi is really stinky, or how could it be Xiyi! Do you know why Xiyi likes spices, just because they are born with body odor? ”

"These Xiyi beards and scumbags are indeed at sea for a long time! But Xiyi's stink is also a fact!"

“……”

The onlookers involuntarily dispersed, and some even covered their mouths and noses with their hands and pointed there. Originally, I didn't have a good impression of Xiyi, but now this situation will not be moral.

John was escorted off the ship and gathered here at the docks, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart was still terrified, and the anxiety about the future made them dare not resist at all, saying whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until the silver dollars on the ship were moved down one by one and placed on the dock not far in front of them that they were a little commotion, but when the Ming army's swords and guns were pointed over, they were honest.

"What's in this box?" The onlookers were very curious and speculated.

Suddenly, two soldiers carrying the box seemed to be careless, and they didn't cooperate well, and the box toppled over, and suddenly, with a "bang", the contents poured out and rolled all over the ground. Under the sun, reflecting the sunlight, it really blinded the eyes of the onlookers.

"Wow, what is this, it can't be all silver, right?"

"No, it's not silver!"

"Wow, I know, I know, this is the treasure ship of the Spaniards, full of these silver dollars, all silver!"

“……”

Rubbing his eyes, if he didn't know, he quickly asked what he knew. Most of the people who knew it were the Ming people who had stayed in Luzon before, and they exchanged it after saving money, and it was this kind of silver dollar, and they also knew that it came from Mexico, and they all said what they knew, whether they showed their knowledge or not.

Listening to the introduction, watching the soldiers still carrying boxes and boxes, I don't know how many, this scene in front of me really shocked these onlookers. Especially the visual impact of the silver dollar all over the ground, how many times can you have it in a lifetime?

At the same time as the blind onlookers were watching, the news spread, and there were more onlookers, no, more and more, blocking the dock.

In the distance, there was a man who looked like an official, and after knowing the situation, he went to Manila like crazy, and he didn't know what he was doing.
