The attendant had no choice but to retreat and close the door and knock lightly, and heard the sound of Acuña shouting "come in" before pushing the door in again, at this time Acuña could no longer see traces of anger on his face, and smiled amiably: "Young man, don't panic, there is the Almighty Lord, nothing can make the invincible Spanish warriors afraid, now you can say, what happened?" ……”

"The messenger of the biological man, the messenger of the biological man is coming, the ship, the ship has entered the harbor......" the squire replied, stammered by Acuña's moodiness.

"The messenger of the biological man?" Acuña frowned and said with some displeasure, "What's there to be worried about?" It's not the first time that the messengers of the biological people have come, these biological people will only bluff, not worth mentioning, just let Thomas take someone to intimidate them and drive them away......"

"But... However, the biological envoy who came back seemed to be a little different, and the second lieutenant Marcuri, who went to negotiate with them, said that the biological envoy who came this time had a very tough attitude, and asked His Excellency the Governor to meet him personally...... "The attendant glanced at Acuña and said cautiously.

"Do you want me to meet you personally? What a big breath! Where do these biological people get their self-confidence? Acuña sneered, stood up and walked to the window, the governor's palace is at the height of Manila City, the window is facing the port, look at it, Acuña saw Guo Zhiyuan and their big fortune ship, at this time Guo Zhiyuan was idle, with the regiment training village soldiers on the deck to practice, although the distance is very far, the people on the deck look only the size of ants, but the neat queue, the same movement of the battle formation, from a high point is still quite shocking, but also let Acuña feel that the Ming Dynasty envoy who came back is indeed a little different.

Don't look at Acuña's disdain, but in fact, he still attaches great importance to this matter. Slaughter. After the killing, the trade links between Luzon and the Ming Dynasty were basically cut off, which also caused the Spaniards to suffer heavy losses, not only the tax revenue was greatly reduced, but the Ming porcelain, raw silk, silk and other goods that were very popular in Europe were also out of stock.

You must know that before, Manila's import tax on Chinese goods accounted for almost 80% of all import taxes, reaching 92.06% in the highest year, with a trade volume of more than 1 million pesos, and the resale of porcelain, raw silk, silk and other goods of the Ming Dynasty to Europe made Spanish merchants make a lot of money, and now this big financial route has suddenly been cut off, so that the Spaniards also have disagreements on how to deal with this matter, although Acuña has supreme power in the Philippines, but if he can not balance the interests of all parties, His position as governor was precarious, as exemplified by his predecessor Francisco, who offended too many officials and clergy during his tenure, and was challenged by the special court when he left office, and finally died of illness in Manila.

So Acuña thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to deal with this matter carefully, since the defeat of the Spanish Armada to the British, Spain's national strength has been greatly inferior to before, in the face of such a behemoth as the Ming Dynasty, he actually has no bottom in his heart, in case the Ming Dynasty is desperate to start a war with them, it is good to win, if the war is unfavorable, he, the governor, will have to be responsible for this matter.

Thinking of this, Acuña beckoned to the attendant and whispered to him to hurry up and inform the archbishops and principal officials of the royal city of Manila to come to the governor's palace to discuss the matter.

The people who can discuss with Acuña are naturally the leading figures of Spain in the Philippines, and the news in Manila is also very well-informed, and they naturally knew the news that the diplomatic envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty arrived at the port of Manila, so they quickly rushed to the news that Acuña asked them to come to discuss the matter, after all, this matter is also related to their vital interests.

As soon as Acuña told him what had happened, Thomas, the captain of the guard of the Manila Kings Guard, immediately jumped up and shouted arrogantly: "What is there to talk about with these men, just blast them away with a cannon, and they dare to ask His Excellency the Governor to personally meet their rude request?" Your Excellency the Governor, I will command that I will at once lead the royal guards to kill them and take their two great ships!" ……”

Thomas is Acunia's nephew, and he can be the captain of the royal city guard because of Acunia's relationship, before Acuña became the Spanish governor in the Philippines, he was just a low-level officer, and the first taste of power in his hands, Thomas was naturally a little carried away. Slaughter. The killing incident completely stimulated his brutal character, his hands were stained with the blood of the Ming merchants who did business in Luzon, and he killed every Ming businessman he saw, whether they surrendered or not, many of them were helpless women and children!

And he's also big from this time. Slaughter. In addition to privately plundering the wealth of the Chinese and the spoils of the royal city, he also got an excellent estate in the suburbs of Manila and Bang Asinan, so they were a little addicted to looting, and they actually remembered Guo Zhiyuan and their two big ships!

Acuña glanced at Thomas a little speechlessly, Thomas is a sharp knife in his hand, loyalty is no problem, but this knife is a little too simple-minded, before Tu. Killing the businessmen who were doing business in Luzon could be said to have been done by the indigenous Filipinos, but directly killing the diplomatic envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty would be of a different nature, and would even attract condemnation from the international community, and he was a little skeptical that it was appropriate for him to suddenly promote Thomas to such a high position as the captain of the royal city guard.

Sure enough, as soon as Thomas's words fell, he sat at the bottom left of Acuña at the head of the Spanish Colonial Court in the Philippines. Judge Moga glanced at Thomas contemptuously and sneered, "Simple-minded! Killing those cyborgs in the Eight Companies has already caused a lot of damage to our tax revenues and our commercial trade, do you really want to start a war with the cyborgs? This is a great country larger and more populous than our entire kingdom of Spain, and do you really think that you can conquer such a large country with fifteen thousand soldiers? Not to mention the fact that biological people are still useful to us, not only do they bring us taxes and wealth, but their minds and skills are far better than those of the stupid Filipino natives, and there are not a few decent tailors and cooks to be found in the whole of the royal city these days, and it is difficult to find a real farmer and shepherd outside the city......"

Moga's position in the entire Philippine colonial government system is second only to Acunia, and he is also a strong contender for the governor, so naturally he will not have the same heart as Acunia, but Acuña is cunning, and it is not easy for him to find Acunia's fork, so he pointed the finger at Acunia's nephew Thomas, when Thomas first became the captain of the royal city guard, he put forward an arrogant plan, saying that he would lead a fleet and 15,000 soldiers to conquer China, and the result was rumored to be a laughing stock, As soon as Moga seized the opportunity to take this incident out and taunt Thomas, he actually slapped Acuña in the face.

Acuña naturally knew that Moga was coming for him, and his face was a little unsightly, but he also had to admit that Moga's words had a certain truth, and he didn't want to rush into war with Daming, after all, Daming was not as good as the Philippines, and it was impossible to turn Daming into a Spanish colony with the strength in his hands, even if he won, he would suffer heavy losses, so his position as governor would not be stable.

So Acuña didn't want to argue with Moga on this issue, so he turned his attention to the archbishop Miguel at the bottom right, although the archbishop did not belong to the Spanish colonial government system in the Philippines, but the influence of the church was everywhere, so Miguel's status was very transcendent, even Acuña had to give him three points of courtesy, and his opinion would also affect Acuña's decision-making, so he smiled and asked Miguel: "Lord Bishop, you have gone to the kingdom of biological people to preach, and you know them best, What do you think of the arrival of the messenger of the biological man this time? ……”

Miguel tried to sneak into China to preach in his early years, but he was driven back as soon as he arrived on the coast, which was his shame, he naturally didn't want to admit it, but regarded himself as a Chinese expert, and saw that Acuña took the initiative to consult him, so he said with some pride: "I didn't approve of you killing the biological people of the Eighth Company before, although the biological people are backward, but they are also God's people, we should educate them, let them know their way back, before I have developed a lot of biological people in the Eighth Company to become religious people, and the result is that you will ......kill all of them."

Everyone present rolled their eyes at Miguel, and was very disgusted by Miguel's pretentiousness, these missionaries are so hypocritical, they talk about God all day long, and they look compassionate, why don't you say this when they divide the wealth of those Ming merchants? Didn't you develop those Ming businessmen to be parishioners so that they could donate their hard-earned wealth to the church?

Thomas sneered even more unceremoniously: "Lord Bishop, have you forgotten that those biological people have driven you out of their kingdom and forbade you to serve in their kingdom? If you can educate them with your mouth, it will be easy to do it, but if the Bishop can go to the messenger of the biological man on behalf of His Excellency the Doge, and let them give up all their wealth? ……”

Acuña also frowned a little unhappily and said, "Lord Bishop, don't mention the past, we are now discussing how to deal with the messenger sent by the biological man......"

Seeing the anger of the public, Miguel also coughed a little embarrassedly and said: "I know the biological man better than you, the biological man is impossible to start a war with us, the kingdom of the biological man is now suffering from external and internal troubles, the officials are corrupt, and they are unable to start a large-scale war, so the envoys they sent before were just bluffing, and they didn't dare to make excessive demands at all!" ……”
