Li Yuanqing smiled slightly: "Your Excellency the Governor, for this matter, I personally and my army, hereby make a sincere apology to you, the Spanish Empire, and the Governor's Palace of Manila!" This matter is a trivial matter, a quarrel of words, to the extent of taking office, we do have some responsibilities! In this regard, we will bear the medical expenses of your wounded soldiers and sailors! ”

Li Yuanqing said, like a gentleman, politely saluted Valen da Gama. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

apologized and didn't spend money, Li Yuanqing didn't just open his mouth.

"Huh?"

Valen da Gama had been waiting for Li Yuanqing's next step, but found that after a few minutes, Li Yuanqing had been looking at this side with a smile, how could he still speak?

What do you mean?

This~, this is the person who beat the Spanish Empire, or is it an active soldier and sailor, and then apologize, compensate for the medical expenses, and it's over?

"General Li, are you sure that this is your solution?"

Valen da Gama looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief as if he was looking at a monster.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Your Excellency the Governor, that's it, do you have any questions?" ”

Varun da Gama couldn't help but gasp!

He also discovered at this time, this matter, if he wants to do a simple good, it is almost impossible!

At this time, the white soldiers and sailors behind him also heard the results here, and couldn't help but curse one by one.

He scolded Li Yuanqing for this, but he did not leave Valen da Gama behind, and he almost rolled up the eighteen generations of Valen da Gama's ancestors, thinking that he had insulted the glory of the Spanish Empire.

Listening to Joseph's careful translation here, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but show a chilling sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Glory?

These white-haired monkeys are also worthy?

For the Netherlands and Portugal, Li Yuanqing is indeed a little jealous, and to a large extent, he is unwilling to face their sharpness.

But ~~, for Spain, which is about to pass out, Li Yuanqing has enough confidence!

At this time, the pattern of Southeast Asia has basically been stabilized, with Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal standing on three legs.

But ~~, the most powerful British Empire has not yet fully focused its attention here at this time, and they are still in India at this time, clearing out the resistance of Ah Sange.

There will be at least a decade or even twenty years of vacuum, and then they will focus on Southeast Asia.

And this time is enough for Li Yuanqing and his fleet to grow!

If you really can't talk about it today, then ~~, you can't blame him Li Yuanqing for being ruthless!

Listening to the scolding behind him becoming more and more mixed and worse, Valen da Gama's face was gloomy, and for a moment, he stared directly at Li Yuanqing's eyes, and said coldly like an eagle: "General Li, if ~~, you and the Ming Kingdom side can't give me a satisfactory explanation today!" I will remove you from the port of Manila! ”

The size of Li Yuanqing's fleet is not comparable to that of those small natives.

In addition, at this time, on the dock side, the fortifications of the Changsheng Camp have been piled up, even if Valen da Gama is unhappy, he doesn't dare to say too much, but uses a relatively soft way, which is also his lowest bottom line!

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, I really regret your decision!" If I and my fleet can't stay in Manila for trade, then ~~, I'm afraid this is not only a loss for us, but also a loss for Manila! ”

"Humph!"

Valen da Gama snorted coldly, "General Lee, I doubt your sincerity very much! Your sincerity in this matter! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly.

The matter has come to this point, and it would be best if it was not resolved by force.

After all, the fleet had just entered the South Seas, the trade routes had not yet been fully rolled out, and the goods had not been exchanged for silver, so at this time, if the Spaniards in Manila were directly killed, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Western powers and cast a shadow on Li Yuanqing's subsequent journey.

"Your Excellency, what do you want us to do, according to your wishes?"

At this time, there were already sailors and sailors, and after rushing to Varen da Gama for more than a dozen steps, someone shouted in Chinese: "What to do?" Hand over those women! Compensate us for all financial losses! Also, you despicable yellow-haired monkey, you must kowtow to us and apologize! ”

The interpreter passed the words into the ears of Valen da Gama, who smiled faintly: "General Li, this is our request!" If you don't do it, then ~~~, now, please leave Manila! ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Your Excellency the Governor, your handling method really disappointed me very, very much!" These soldiers and sailors are simply a group of the most despicable ruffians and scoundrels! Do you want to use their words as the ultimate guideline in this matter? ”

Valen da Gama snorted coldly, but he no longer looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, when a personal soldier behind him rushed over and whispered a few words into Li Yuanqing's ear.

Li Yuanqing's complexion couldn't help but change, but after a moment, he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, if this is the case, then~, it is convenient for me to take a step back, and we are willing to offer you one hundred taels of silver for this matter, as a compensation heart." In addition~~, if the conditions are right, we will purchase twenty large sail warships from your side! ”

"Huh?"

Valen da Gama couldn't help but be stunned, when he heard Li Yuanqing's first half of the sentence, he couldn't wait to go up and give Li Yuanqing an old fist, one hundred taels of silver, is this a flower child?

But Li Yuanqing's last sentence lifted his spirits.

At this time, there were white soldiers and sailors behind him who scolded: "Despicable yellow-haired monkey, our warships of the Spanish Empire, even if they sink to the bottom of the sea, will never be sold to you despicable miscellaneous!" I'm dying of this heart! ”

"You yellow-haired monkeys, you are so deceitful! Without apologizing, you still want to buy our warships? ”

“………”

"Enough!"

At this time, Valen da Gama was shouting.

After all, he is the governor-general, the highest Spanish governor in Manila, and he has been operating here for many years, and there is still no problem with his authority.

The sailors and soldiers behind him were taken aback and did not dare to say more.

Valen da Gama had a smile on his face at this time, and looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile faintly: "General Li, can you be sincere about buying a warship?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Of course." I have always had confidence in the seafaring skills of the Spanish Empire! ”

Varun da Gama couldn't help but rejoice!

On his hand, there are more than 20 old Spanish sailing ships that are about to be decommissioned, and he is ready to sell.

But there is simply no one in Manila, including the surrounding area, who can have such a big appetite and eat so many warships.

This matter has been entangled in him for more than half a year, but at this time, Li Yuanqing gave him a big 'pillow'.

Coincidentally, the official Spanish fleet is about to arrive, if this thing is done, then ~~, maybe, he can directly upgrade to another level!

"General Li, thank you for making such a big concession on this matter. On behalf of the Spanish Empire and Manila, I accept your sincerity! However, in terms of compensation, you need to pay a thousand taels of silver! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "I can accept this matter, but Your Excellency the Governor, I need three hundred boxes of Cuban cigars!" ”

Valen da Gama also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Deal!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and said, "General Li, tonight, I will hold a dinner in the Governor's Palace, and we can have a formal talk about the warship!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I accept your invitation." The fortifications here will be removed immediately! ”

…………

Varun da Gama soon left, and Li Yuanqing also ordered the sons to start cleaning up the fortifications here.

At this time, Yang Xiaozhou rushed over quickly and said in a low voice: "General, it is the fleet of the Spaniards, there are nearly thirty ships, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they should be able to enter the port." Presumably, the Governor's Mansion should receive the news soon. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Strengthen vigilance and wait for orders at any time!" ”

"Yes!"

More than half an hour later, the fortifications on the dock had been dismantled, and the Spanish fleet had begun to enter the port.

Huge sails, huge warships, and swarthy muzzles are all in one piece, which really brings strong pressure to people.

Li Yuanqing has been observing from a small observation deck on the dock.

The Spaniard's large ships were larger than the ones he had now, about thirty meters in their early thirties, and about the same height.

The difference is that their ships are designed to be very high, one to two meters higher than the warships of the Ming army, and on both sides, rows of swarthy gun muzzles, full of terrifying deterrence.

Regarding this, Li Yuanqing also chatted in a low voice with Joseph and Yang Xiaochuan beside him.

Joseph hurriedly explained in a low voice: "General, this is because the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean are very small, so the side of the ship does not need to be built too high, which is conducive to saving costs and carrying more cargo!" But the Spanish fleet was active in the Atlantic Ocean all year round, especially if they wanted to come to the Indian Ocean or Southeast Asia, they had to pass through the Cape of Good Hope. But here at the Cape of Good Hope, even in the best weather, the wind and waves are enough to rush up to the bow of the ship. Therefore, the side of the ship must be designed higher to protect the cabin and maintain the stability of the ship! ”

Although Yang Xiaochuan didn't quite understand this, Li Yuanqing nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, in terms of navigation technology, Westerners have gone ahead of China.

Although the Zheng family is also very strong at this time, their range of activities is still in East Asia, in the calm Pacific Ocean, at most, that is, to the South Sea.

Today, Li Yuanqing originally planned to fight the Spaniards, but ~, after getting the news of the arrival of the Spaniard fleet behind him, Li Yuanqing wisely gave up this idea.

After all, there was so little time left for him to occupy all the batteries and defend well before the arrival of the Spanish fleet.

As the saying goes, 'those who know the times are the best'.

At this time, Huaxia is already lagging behind in this regard, and it is unrealistic to catch up immediately.

Li Yuanqing can only maintain enough patience.
