Wang Xuanhe listened to Su Lei's words, and sat down with a sad face. + At this time, his mind was very confused, and he felt tangled like never before.

Marco glanced at Sures, and Surez said with understanding: "Don't worry, I solemnly promise here that as long as you serve the kingdom, our Kingdom of Spain will never harm the Chinese who serve us." Moreover, you will also become the leader of the Chinese in Manila in the future, and the kingdom will give you the same rights as the nobility of the kingdom, and your taxes will also be exempted. ”

Wang Xuanhe listened to Sures's words, his face gradually softened, and Marco next to him also smiled and said: "On behalf of the Dutch East India Company, I can also promise you that your business will also enjoy the greatest benefits in Batavia in the future." You will be our East India Company's largest business partner. ”

Wang Xuanhe, who was still entangled, listened to the conditions thrown by the two, and the last line of defense in his heart collapsed. A qiē concern instantly came to naught, and the lucrative benefits became the last straw that overwhelmed his will.

Outside of Manila, there is a lot of land left over from the Spaniards, most of which is now occupied by the natives. Zhang Siyuan and several directors of Chinese businessmen have talked with the leaders of the indigenous people a few times, but these indigenous people are just a hob meat image with a dead face.

A group of Chinese businessmen had no idea, originally He Wu heard about it, and wanted to bring pirates to kill people at that time, but he was immediately stopped by a group of Chinese businessmen, saying that they wanted to think about it in the long run. Now there are too many of these natives, and there are hundreds of tribes scattered among them, once the natives make trouble. It is bound to cause chaos in Luzon.

He Wuyi didn't care anymore in a fit of anger, and led the pirates to concentrate on training. Although he always felt aggrieved in his heart, when the big boss was leaving, he repeatedly ordered him not to ask about these Chinese businessmen, so he had to endure it. Let those indigenous monkeys sigh for a few days, he knows that after the owner comes, he will definitely not let those indigenous monkeys go.

Marco and Surez met with the leaders of nearly 100 indigenous tribes on a Spanish estate. Surez personally promised the many leaders that as long as the local natives helped the royal team, the land would belong to them in the future.

Many of the indigenous leaders heard Sures' promise. immediately agreed. Where to find such a good thing. And it's still going to attack the "cowardly" Chinese, and there is no pressure at all.

The Chinese always seem to have a fierce conflict with the natives of Southeast Asia, and when the Chinese conflict with the Europeans, the natives of Southeast Asia always help the Europeans to massacre the Chinese. There is a relationship that Westerners are constantly provoking in this. But that's not the main thing. To this day, Southeast Asian society is widely hostile to the Chinese. The status of the Chinese is somewhat similar to that of the Jews in the Mediterranean.

In the eyes of the aborigines, the Chinese are known for being "diligent", "peace-loving", and "cowardly" by nature. Moreover, the mother states of the Chinese Empire in all dynasties regarded overseas immigrants as untouchables. I was bullied, and I didn't even get out of the way. So whenever the Western colonizers slaughtered the Chinese, the indigenous people of Southeast Asia always rushed to the front.

In the port of Batavia, more than 20 Spanish galleons are ready to go. The Spanish fleet rested here for a few days, and it was only after dozens of merchant ships carrying supplies for them arrived in Batavia that they raised their sails and prepared to sail for Luzon.

This time, the Spanish army transferred two regiments of standing troops from the mainland, totaling more than 6,000 men. There were six infantry regiments, of which nearly seventy percent were armed with Mushkert arquebuses, and the rest were spearmen.

Several Spanish phalanxes could be formed in the field, and the Spanish standing army, both spearmen and arquebusiers, had a calm fighting spirit and were well trained, so they were able to dominate the European theater in the second half of the 16th century and the early 17th century.

The combat effectiveness of the standing army was by no means comparable to that of the colonial army, and even during the Thirty Years' War in Europe, Spain did not have many standing armies, most of them were temporary mercenaries.

In addition, this time, the Kingdom of Spain also hired more than 1,000 Polish cavalry from Europe, as well as more than 3,000 mercenaries from Germany, Switzerland and other places. The magnates of the New World, who had lost a great deal of wealth in Manila, also financed the organization of a mercenary army of more than 2,000 men. In addition, there are twenty-four army field guns.

Such a military force was enough to participate in a relatively large-scale battle in the Thirty Years' War in Europe. And nearly half of the army was still a standing army of the Kingdom of Spain itself. One can imagine the importance that the Spanish kingdom attached to this reconquest of Manila.

Qiao Haipeng led the Admiralty to rob the property of the four Spanish galleons, causing heavy losses to countless magnates in Spain and the New World, and their voices carried a lot of weight in Spain. So this time, Spain made a bloody investment, and when the clouds of war on the European continent had not yet dissipated, it still sent such a huge military force.

Even the Dutch in Batavia, seeing such a lineup as Spain, felt incredible, so much military power, it is not an exaggeration to sweep Southeast Asia on land.

He Wu has been extremely irritable in the past few days, because the spies sent out also felt something different in the royal city. They searched Manila but did not find any valuable information.

But the pirate leader who went to sea brought the last thing he wanted to hear, that the fleet of the Franciscans had arrived in Batavia. In He Wu's view, this news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

It is said that there were more than 10,000 Spanish galleons and army soldiers and horses combined. The more He Wu listened, the more confused he became, this is still a fart. Needless to say, on land, even if you rely on the strong fortifications of the royal city and the castle of Santiago, you will not be able to withstand it for a few months.

I didn't expect Francois to come so quickly, his first thought now was to run away, but when he thought of the strong strength of the Far East Company, he began to be entangled again. After thinking about it for most of the night, he decided to take a gamble.

Although He Wu is just a lowly pirate, he is just as ambitious. He had seen the cannons of the Far East, and the immense power of them still made him feel uneasy when he thought about them. In the future, all the Franco-Robot and Hongyi people will be wiped out in an instant under the heavy artillery attack of the Far East.

Only by following such a powerful force can you become famous in the future.

Thinking of this, He Wu began to make arrangements for the pirates, and he asked the pirates to leave Manila Bay in batches while the night was over, leaving only the more than 1,000 pirate elites who could fight the most.

He Wu did not announce the news of the imminent arrival of the Francophone man. Because he suspected that the city of Manila had been mixed with Francis's spies, he just quietly arranged it for himself. After arranging the pirates, he took advantage of the night to lead a large number of pirates to the royal city, first forcibly took over the defense of the royal city, and then told more than a dozen maritime merchants the news of the imminent arrival of the Franciscan.

His news also surprised those Chinese businessmen, Zhang Siyuan said with some anxiety: "He Wu, didn't you say that Francois will come after 100 days, this is only a dozen days, how can Francoji arrive?" This...... That's a good thing. ”

The other Chinese merchants also had no idea, and sighed there, for them, it was no different from the sky falling.

And Wang Xuanhe heard the news, although he also looked anxious on the surface, but he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he had agreed to Franco's conditions, or he would die like everyone else.

He Wu looked at the faces of a group of Chinese businessmen, and couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart. He shouted impatiently: "Don't shout, the soldiers will cover the water." Lao Zhang, have I made all the things I asked you to buy in Wangcheng? ”

Zhang Siyuan was stunned by He Wu's shout, and he hurriedly nodded: "A lot of food and materials have been stored, and the ammunition of each fort is also sufficient. In addition, there were a lot of swords, guns, bows and crossbows, enough to arm thousands of people. ”

He Wu nodded, and then said solemnly: "You each go back and transfer all the Chinese children living near Manila to the royal city, if you don't come, you will tell them that the Franji people are going to slaughter the city, and if you really don't leave, you will kidnap me." The defense of the royal city will be handed over to us from now on, and your two thousand soldiers will do nothing, but they will be sent to the vicinity of Manila to help the Chinese transfer, and tell them to bring only food and goods, and throw away the rest. ”

When these Chinese businessmen heard that the pirates were going to take over the royal city, they were stunned for a moment, and Wang Xuanhe said coldly: "He Wu, what do you mean, can't you believe us?" ”

He Wu smiled and said, "I just can't trust those soldiers in your hands, don't be scared out of urine when you hear the cannon." Now in this extraordinary period, don't be uncomfortable with me, from now on, Manila, I have the final say, whoever wants to talk nonsense with me again, I will kill him. ”

Suddenly, several Chinese soldiers ran in from outside the door, and as soon as they entered the house, they began to shout, "Those pirates are going to rob the city......

After they finished shouting, they saw He Wu, and immediately pointed at He Wu excitedly and asked, "He Wu, what do you mean?" Why did you force us to change our guards, what are your intentions? ”

"Do you want to rebel, Wangcheng is our defense area, don't forget that you only need to manage the sea, this is the charter set by the owner, do you dare to change the rules without authorization?"

A "bang" gunshot.

He Wu held a short gun and shot it at the roof. Then he blew the muzzle of the gun that was still smoking, and sneered: "You are right, I specially changed this charter of the owner." When the owner came, I went to say, and now I will do what I say, if anyone dares to waste a word again, Lao Tzu will kill someone. ”

At this moment, more than a dozen fierce pirates rushed into the house, each holding two firearms in their hands and facing a group of Chinese merchants in the house. The leaders of several Chinese soldiers also fell silent, and they realized that the person standing opposite them was a pirate leader. (To be continued......)
