After the introduction, the governor ordered to invite unrelated people to wait out, and only eleven whites and four Han Chinese were able to sit in the hall (plus two translators, the governor left Chen Yucheng, and there was no translator in Hongmao Fanzhong himself).

The summit meeting that day, regardless of the wonderful scene of Hong Xi's official battle, attracted the attention of Governor Juan de Oquado of all red hairs and non-whites.

He has a kind attitude, a gentle voice, and a reasonable voice, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Give the Spanish side a feeling of a meat tiger vegetarian!

Is the Governor a good man?

No way! The lord suppressed the place harshly with an iron fist, and the various classes were silent about him, and it is said that even the ships of the Spanish who came to check the accounts were sunk by him...... But he has a good brother who holds great power in the kingdom, and others can't help him.

It was the governor's power that overrode public opinion, so there was a meeting with Hong Xiguan this time.

Hong Xiguan knew that Hongmao Fan was so good at talking, and secretly sighed that it was really a battle to settle the country, and the battle with the Dutch fleet a few years ago can be called the battle of Dingding, which played with majesty and dignity!

And Xu Qing, a maritime businessman at the same table, had a feeling of dreaming.

He had been to Luzon before, and it was impossible for him to enter Wangcheng District, he was all begging for a living in Cavite, and he looked up to the white people in Wangcheng District, and admired him incomparably, thinking that this was the life of a human being.

Today, he can sit here in a dignified manner, and everyone's eyes make him feel like he is sitting on pins and needles, especially the three Fujian people among the four Chinese Jiabidan, who know Xu Qing, and their eyes are strange before leaving just now, which makes Xu Qing both frightened and a little proud in his heart!

Before that, when Xu Qing went to visit them, he only dared to touch his ass when he sat in his position!

It must be known that they are all Nanyang Han clans, and they are extremely wealthy. Whether it is money, prestige, customers, or even the relationship between the Spaniards, or even the influence in the south of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Qing cannot be offended.

That's why they were appointed "Kapitan" by the Spaniards!

In order to "nourish the Philippines with China" and "govern China with China", the Spanish colonial government implemented the Kapitan system. Kapitan's powers were considerable, and his main responsibilities included: collecting taxes and issuing travel documents to overseas Chinese for the colonial government; Responsible for conveying the orders of the colonial government to overseas Chinese, conveying the opinions of overseas Chinese communities to the government, and reporting the situation of overseas Chinese; Maintain law and order in the diaspora community, exercise primary judicial powers, and adjudicate minor civil cases; Responsible for the registration of births and deaths of Chinese, and the registration of Chinese entry and exit; Management of overseas Chinese charities and public welfare organizations.

Kapitan was "elected" by overseas Chinese. The electoral college composed of the former Kapitan, the heads of the guilds, and the influential merchants who were entitled to participate in the voting were mainly elected by the electoral college and submitted to the Governor, who selected a person and submitted it to the King of Spain for approval before he could be formally appointed.

The Governor decided on the choice of Kapitan based on two main considerations: moral and economic. The so-called morality refers to loyalty to the Spanish government, religious beliefs, and prestige among the Chinese diaspora. Preferably Catholics, the Spaniards consider Catholics to be more loyal and reliable. The economic aspect was also very important, as Kapitan had to collect taxes from overseas Chinese on behalf of the colonial government, and if the taxes were not collected enough, Kapitan himself had to raise money to make up for the arrears.

Although Kapitan was essentially an agent of the colonizers, on the other hand, it also played the role of a spokesman for the Chinese community, which was equivalent to the leader of the Chinese.

So what!

Today I have a seat, no matter how much money you have, no matter how much power you have, you will also stand!

Xu Qing lowered his head, silently thinking about his thoughts, he was determined to go back and hug the thighs of the Southeast Mansion!

The money donated is more, and the children of the family immediately join the Southeast Mansion and join the army and politics!

……

There are three key points of conversation between Hong Xiguan and the governor, the first is the friendship between the two sides, and the governor said that he has great respect for the Ming Dynasty and wants to develop friendly relations with the southeast province.

"We are cooperating with your government's collection of water sources...... the governor said wildly, and immediately promoted himself to become an old friend of the Chinese people, a good friend of the Ming Dynasty, and a staunch ally of the Southeast Mansion!

Listening to his words, Hong Xiguan smiled and nodded, and those who knew him had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

At present, the Edo shogunate completely stopped trading with Spain because it liked to preach, and as for the Ming Kingdom, a large number of Ming people rushed to Luzon to deliver goods without Spanish merchants coming to the door, so the southeast province collected water, but it really couldn't collect its head.

Talking about the economy, the two sides believe that the current trade relations between the Ming Dynasty and Luzon are very important, and it is necessary for the two sides to maintain bilateral trade relations.

"I respect your country's maritime areas, and I hope that your country can respect my country's controlled areas!"

The Governor proposed that Taiwan and Luzon should be used as the boundary between the Balintang Strait, each with jurisdiction over the northern and southern boundaries, and that mutual interests should be respected.

"Not good! I have a better proposal. ”

Hong Xiguan skillfully used two ways of speaking, one is that the Fujian Sea and Guangdong Sea have been China's sacred territorial waters since ancient times, and others are not allowed to enter casually, which is not negotiable, and others have no way to put their beaks!

Second, for other sea areas, the "three-nautical-mile territorial sea" system is implemented, that is, the southeast province respects the three-nautical-mile territorial sea rights of the areas controlled by various countries, and as for other places, the southeast province has the right to free passage!

How's that, familiar with it, right?

This is taught by Yan Changwu, bringing together the "since ancient times" of the rabbit family and the harmless right of passage of the Eagle family, which makes the Spaniards breathtaking!

The yellow race and the white man are chickens and ducks, and Hong Xiguan proposed to put the dispute on hold, and the governor agreed to let it go for the time being.

And then there's the drama meat!

"The Dutch occupy your island of Taiwan since ancient times, and they violated your territorial waters since ancient times for no reason, and we Spaniards are indignant about this (this word is a summary of the translation, and the red-haired fan can't say such a deep word)!

Therefore, I propose that we form an alliance against the Dutch, so that when one side is in trouble, the other side will support the other!

Jointly wage war against the Netherlands and divide the Spice Islands (i.e. the East Indies) equally! ”

The Spice Islands produce spices that can be compared to gold, which makes the Spaniards drool, and they are not satisfied with the silver of the Americas, and they always want to occupy the Spice Islands of the Dutch.

His proposal was rightfully rejected by Hong Hee-guan, who talked about friendship and trade and ignored the alliance.

Everyone was unhappy, and the governor secretly scolded: "Dead little ghost! Hong Xiguan slandered: "Old fox! ”

It was impossible to talk about it at this time, and it was just time for the meal, and the governor invited Hong Xiguan to dinner, and Hong Xiguan happily accepted the invitation.
