The Governor sent the guests to the door, and told the administrative officer Corina and the interpreter Chen Yucheng to accompany them and sit down first, and try to meet any requests.

Then the Governor returned, and the group of ten who remained in the hall looked at each other.

Although this visiting envoy of the Ming Dynasty spoke slowly and calmly, he had a hint of sharpness, rejecting all the benefits that the Spaniards wanted, and did not want to get any benefits in his hands!

Before he came, the Spaniards looked down on any Ming envoys and clamored for them to get out, but when they came, after seeing the demeanor of the people and the ship, the Spaniards felt the pressure and praised the governor for his vision.

The other party seems to have bad intentions!

"No!" The Governor shook his head and said, "They didn't want to fight us!" ”

"Send a clipper to inform Batavia that the Akito will be attacking them soon!" The governor was scheming, and through everyone's communication, he had already seen that the southeast province had no will to fight and did not want to deal with the Spaniards.

So the southeast province is desperately building ships, whose head will the shells fall?

Briton?

It is impossible, their forces do not control Southeast Asia, and there is no dispute with the southeastern province, on the contrary, the relationship between the two sides is hot;

Portuguese?

They control the Strait of Malacca, but they are too far away from the southeastern province, and although Macau is close, the southeastern province would have fought it long ago if it wanted to.

Then the unlucky ones must be the Dutch!

It would be better to inform the Dutch to prepare early and let the two families lose both!

Seeing that everyone seemed to be relieved, the governor warned: "Don't think that they can relax if they don't fight us, I am not their governor after all, in case they want to fight us, we still have to prepare and prepare for war!" ”

"Oh, that's terrible!" The governor drew a cross and said, "Aren't they afraid that the barbarians will send them to hell if they sell those cannons and warships to unreligious barbarians?" ”

He saw that the 18-pounder cannon was made in the Netherlands on the warship of the Ming people, and he thought that the battleship was also sold by the white people to the Southeast Province, and he did not believe that the Southeast Province could build its own ships......

……

The governor explained to the administrator Higaira: "When the Ming merchant fleet arrives, you go and watch the point, let the Kapitan maintain order, and do not cause disputes during the period." ”

Iguela understood it, and waited to send the plague god away, and sent these non-religious Ming people away as soon as possible.

"Also, don't think that when the Ming warships are coming, you think that they can come out, you see whoever jumps out, you will ......" The governor made a downward movement, revealing his fierce face.

The banquet that night was very warm, and the food was Chinese, which was extremely luxurious and luxurious, and there was no need to go into detail.

Everyone made a statement to jointly develop trade relations between the Ming Dynasty (in fact, the Southeast Province) and the Kingdom of Spain, including holding a high-level summit meeting between the two countries as soon as possible, holding a regular annual meeting mechanism, discussing the export of goods from the Southeast Province to Spain, as well as jointly maintaining shipping routes, setting up trade representatives on each other's territory, etc., anyway, the results were fruitful and happy.

That night, the three southeast warships were anchored in Wangcheng Harbor.

……

Chen Yucheng, the Spanish translator, returned home at the banquet, the blue bricks of Zhumen were paved with high eaves, the lion in front of the door, and the house was deep, which was a rich family.

When he returned to his room, his wife and children had already slept, he returned to his study, lit a candle, poured himself a glass of water, and silently thought about his thoughts.

The events of the day were vivid, and his heart fluctuated, and he had a feeling that the edifice of faith in his heart had collapsed.

The Chen family arrived in Manila from southern Fujian in 1605, not far from the massacre, and Chen Yucheng had just been born!

His father, Chen Guangsheng, finally became Kapitan ten years later, and was re-elected until now.

After Chen Yucheng became sensible, he was told by the adults that those white people were messengers sent by God, that they had God-given wealth (referring to American silver), that they had the whitest skin, that their strength was strong, and that they dared to take risks...... Don't offend!

When he was ten years old, he began to run boats, following the path taken by his father, and returning to the mainland, but he was greatly disappointed!

Although the mainland is his hometown, after he appreciated the mainland customs, the mainland disappointed him!

The upper class people were drunk and dreamed of life, and the lower class people were struggling to survive, and the military strength of the Ming army was not comparable to the white plywood ships and cannons.

Although his Chen family is rich (they also have land in their hometown), they are not looked down upon at all, and some of the talents who are all over the house are proud to show their BS appearance, and they don't want to think about how the money came from, and they can make a fortune by reading a few books?

Money is made by hard work! Chen Yucheng seriously b.s. them.

And the foreigners, quite good, they built beautiful royal cities, they had a lot of wealth, they had big ships and heavy artillery...... At the age of fifteen, he was baptized and became a Catholic.

The family invited a gentleman, who learned the way of economics and Spanish, and soon became proficient in conversing with the Spaniards, and became his father's right-hand man, and he was very comfortable in front of the whites, and everyone said that the tiger father had no dog, and in the future Kapitan would definitely fall on him.

But what did he see today? I saw a different Akito!

They spoke the same thing as him, they came in powerful warships, they wore unique and new military uniforms, they were full of sunshine and vitality! Even the ordinary creeps who came with the officers were arrogant!

Who gave them such confidence?

From the Southeastern Province, a regime that is attached to the Ming Dynasty but is independent!

They even defeated the Dutch, and the Dutch, Chen Yucheng knew that the Spaniards were deflated in front of them!

Today, Chen Yucheng saw with his own eyes that the invincible Spanish governor bowed his noble head in front of the southeastern officers!

Originally, we Han people, Ming people, and Fujian people can also be proud in front of Hongmaofan!

Everyone will have a sense of honor and shame, Chen Yucheng is a devil translator, and outsiders envy him for having a head and face in front of white people, and he can eat openly, but he knows that he is using his own integrity to subjugate white people.

"Ahem!" Someone coughed outside the door, Chen Yucheng left his position and saw that it was his father Chen Guangsheng, he invited his father to sit down inside, and asked, "Father, haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Did you see it all during the day?"

"Yes, I saw it all, I heard it!"

"Do you think that the Spaniards also bow their heads?" Chen Guangsheng asked.

"Yes!" Chen Yucheng said.

"Want to go to the Southeastern Mansion?" Chen Guangsheng asked suddenly, and the candle suddenly exploded, so frightened that Chen Yucheng brought the teacup down, and the water splashed on the table, and the teacup was stopped by Chen Guangsheng in the chaos, and it didn't fall to the ground.

"It's still frizzy!" Chen Guangsheng straightened the teacup and shook his head.

"Son, remember one thing, we merchants are the grass on the wall, which side of the wind is strong! As a Han Chinese, this Southeast Mansion Yan Overseer has extended his power to the South Seas, and we are going to bet on him for this treasure, but if you don't see a fish, you can't get into the net! There is a village saying that is very rude, but it makes sense in it, and I remember it clearly: if you have milk, you are a mother, boy, this is the true meaning of the business! ”

"Do you understand?" Chen Guangsheng asked his son.

"Got it!" Chen Yu became enlightened.

"So can you bet now?" Chen Guangsheng asked his son again.

"Can't!" Chen Yucheng bowed his head and said.

"Exactly!" Chen Guangsheng looked at the candle, the candlelight was reflected in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "The Spaniards are sharpening their knives, waiting to see who will take the bait!" ”

That night, not a single Chinese merchant from Manila went on a warship to visit the Southeastern Army, much to the disappointment of the natives who were waiting.

If a Chinese businessman is unlucky, they go to raid the house, then they can get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately the Chinese businessmen are just like doing business, they are cunning enough, and the natives can't do what they want.
