Chapter 2010: Momentum
Li Jin was stunned by Guo Zhiyuan, he had to admit that Guo Zhiyuan was reasonable, Guo Zhiyuan would change the route in advance, which showed that he had been on guard, so the secrets he knew were worthless to Guo Zhiyuan, but why did Guo Zhiyuan keep himself?
Guo Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed Li Jin's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "I won't kill you because you are still valuable to me, as long as you help me do something, I can let ......you go."
"What do you want me to do for you?" Li Jin asked vigilantly, but his tone was obviously loose, who would want to die if he could not die?
Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Dutch, I want to ask you to help me bring a letter to Wei Malang......
Li Jin was shocked when he heard it, not many people knew the secret of his collusion with the Dutch, how did Guo Zhiyuan know? This collusion with foreign vassals is a big crime, although he has Shen Yizhong behind him, but if the news of his collusion with the Dutch spreads, Shen Yizhong will not protect him, he will only treat him as an outcast, then it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Fujian in the future, and immediately said sharply: "You don't want to talk nonsense, I don't know the Dutch!" ……”
Of course, Guo Zhiyuan will not tell Li Jin, in the original history, Li Jin was notorious for colluding with the Dutch, so when Sun Er recognized that it was Li Jin who attacked him with the Japanese invaders, Guo Zhiyuan really had a feeling that there was no way out, and he asked Zhang Cheng to inquire about Wei Malang's whereabouts everywhere and found nothing, but he didn't expect God to send Li Jin to him, and with Li Jin, he naturally didn't worry about finding Wei Malang, so he laughed and said: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it first, Didn't the Dutch want to trade with me? You tell Wei Malang that I can do it for him, as long as he can do me a small favor......"
Li Jin was stunned for a moment, he knew better than anyone how eager the Dutch were to establish a mutual market relationship with the Ming Dynasty in order to break the monopoly of Portugal and Spain on the Oriental sea trade, and the reason why he took such a big risk to help the Dutch plan was also because once the Dutch could establish a mutual market relationship with the Ming Dynasty, he could also obtain huge benefits, so he didn't care about denying it, and asked in surprise: "How can you do this?" Even Grandpa Gao ......"
Guo Zhiyuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Then do you know where Gao Yin died?" ……”
Li Jin's mind flashed, he only cared about dealing with Guo Zhiyuan in order to please Shen Yizhong, and he didn't know Guo Zhiyuan's background, and finally remembered that he had heard that the powerful Gao Yin was killed by a Qipinzhi County, but at that time he only regarded it as a joke, with Gao Yin's power, even the governor of Fujian had to give him three points, how could he be killed by a Qipinzhi County? Hearing Guo Zhiyuan say this, he finally connected the two things, pointed at Guo Zhiyuan with a trembling hand, and stammered in horror: "Yes... Be... You... Handful... Handful... High... Gao Gonggong ......"
Of course, Guo Zhiyuan would not admit that he killed Gao Yin, so he pretended to smile profoundly: "I didn't say anything, I just want you to know what Gao Yin can't do, I may not be able to do it!" ……”
Li Jin felt more and more that Guo Zhiyuan was a little mysterious, and he couldn't help but be secretly afraid, this is a ruthless man who even Gao Yin was killed, and he actually led people to attack him, isn't this the old birthday star hanging--- is it a long life? Thinking of this, Li Jin couldn't get up anymore, and knelt down in front of Guo Zhiyuan, crying and saying with a sad face: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offended Lord Guo, please forgive the adult, the villain is willing to help the adult bring the letter......"
Guo Zhiyuan wanted this effect, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, the official of the dhow ship will give it to you, and your subordinates can also let you take it away, but those Japanese people must leave ......", speaking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly put away his smile and said sharply: "If you let the official know that you colluded with the Japanese to rob my Ming merchants, the official will not spare you!" ……”
Li Jin almost cried, he replaced a good big Zhuyin ship with a tattered dhow, Guo Zhiyuan said as if he had taken advantage of the sky, but he had already been frightened by Guo Zhiyuan, and said busily: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare to ......", send Li Jin and his men away, Guo Zhiyuan can travel lightly, otherwise he must always beware of these prisoners making trouble, which will affect his next trip.
The next trip was very smooth, and there were no big winds and waves along the way, and the pirates saw the two big ships one after the other, and they also knew that this was hard stubble and was not easy to provoke, so naturally they would not open their eyes and kill themselves, so Guo Zhiyuan and they sailed on the sea smoothly for more than half a month, and finally entered the waters of Luzon.
"Luzon has arrived!" The sailors who looked at the mast shouted excitedly, and the whole ship was excited when they heard it, this sea voyage is very boring, often not even the shadow of the ship can be seen all day, Guo Zhiyuan will walk on the deck every day for a few days, and then he also feels bored, basically stay in the cabin and can't come out, he has to think about how to deal with those arrogant Spaniards!
Hearing the sailor's shout, Guo Zhiyuan also hurriedly walked out of the cabin, at this time it was actually far away from Luzon Island, and he could only see a black line in the sky from a distance, but being able to see the land meant that the destination was about to arrive, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but clench his fists, this mission to Luzon is too important to him, the proud Spaniard is not so easy to talk to, can he complete this seemingly almost impossible task? !
At this time, the Spaniards on the shore apparently also observed the two big ships that Guo Zhiyuan and they were on. Slaughter. After the killing incident, the trade between Luzon and the Ming Dynasty was basically interrupted, and there were very few lucky ships from the Ming Dynasty, so the Spanish sentry in charge of the lookout on the shore saw that Guo Zhiyuan and their big ship were also facing the enemy, and immediately set off fireworks to warn them, and soon six black spots sailed away from the shore and outflanked Guo Zhiyuan and their fleet!
Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help sneering when he looked at the outflanking six black spots, of course the six black spots were six Spanish warships, these Spaniards really looked up to themselves, and put on such a big battle to "welcome" themselves, it seems that their mission will definitely not be so smooth!
Sun Er, who was on the side, also became nervous when he saw that the Spaniards had sent six warships, and said to Guo Zhiyuan with some anxiety: "My lord, the one who came is not good!" Do you want to mount the guns in advance? ……”
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand calmly and said: "No, we are here to negotiate, not to fight, don't use force unless you have to, you raise the flag, let your Sun Mansion family and the regimental training villagers change into the military uniforms I have prepared, don't fall into your majesty!" ……”
The Ming Dynasty did not have a national flag, after the Longqing switch, due to the rapid development of foreign trade, the Ming Dynasty merchant ships in order to distinguish themselves from Portugal, the Netherlands and other ships on the self-made sun and moon flag (the sun and moon flag by the red sun, the yellow moon overlapping pattern and blue background, the sun and the moon overlap is the word "Ming", on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, located in the middle of the flag impartial, is to take China in the Quartet of the meaning) hung on the ship, although it was not officially recognized, but because the Ming Dynasty merchant ships were hoisting this flag also became the de facto Ming Dynasty flag at that time, Guo Zhiyuan also got one when he came, and he also made a triangular flag embroidered with the word "Guo", which was raised at this time, waving in the wind, but also had a bit of momentum.
At this time, six Spanish warships have approached Guo Zhiyuan and their fleet, Guo Zhiyuan had seen the picture of the Spanish galleon before crossing, but at this time I was still a little shocked to see the real thing, the typical characteristics of the Spanish galleon are high strings, high tail buildings, and the weight is more than 500 tons, and it has a bow mast, foremast, mainmast and backmast four masts, it is like a moving sea fortress, it does look much more majestic than the three-masted Dafu ship that Guo Zhiyuan and they are on, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh that the Spanish fleet was called the "Invincible Armada" at sea, and it was really not for nothing, if the Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards had a frontal naval battle at this time, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
The six Spanish warships pressed over violently, and the portholes on the ship were all opened, revealing the black hole of the gunhole, there were dozens of them, and the faces of the sailors of the Daifuku ship were a little pale, this disparity in strength was too great, and if you really want to fight, it must be one-sided.
In order not to irritate the Spaniards, Guo Zhiyuan did not let the fleet continue to move forward, but asked Sun Er to command the sailors to lower the sails and stop the Daifuku ship.
Seeing Guo Zhiyuan and they stopped the boat, the six Spanish warships did not continue to press, and quickly put down a small boat and sailed towards Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan saw the Spanish warship put down the boat and knew that they should send someone to negotiate, so he asked people to put a Taishi chair on the deck, and he wore official uniforms and sat on it majestically.
The Spaniards sent a bearded officer and two soldiers, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw this meeting, the Ming Dynasty had sent a mission to Manila to negotiate with the Spaniards, but the military uniforms they wore were completely different from Guo Zhiyuan's, and there were musicians who beat musical instruments to open the way, and the weapons they took were also varied, what knives, axes, and sticks were brought, and they were once privately passed on as a joke by the Spaniards, but this team was obviously different, and they could feel a sense of slaughter!
Of course, the Spaniards thought that they had an advantage, and naturally they would not be intimidated by Guo Zhiyuan's posture, and after the bearded officer was stunned for a moment, he immediately pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and scolded angrily.
