Chapter 225: Signing

What Acuña didn't expect was that Miguel, who had always maintained a neutral position, actually stood on Moga's side this time, looked at him with a smile and said, "I think Moga. The judge's suggestion is good, this solution is beneficial to both of us, and it is the best solution at the moment! ……”

Acuña was more and more surprised, if even Miguel was on Moga's side, then his stubbornness would make his situation even more passive, he felt isolated, this feeling made him very unhappy, looked around the venue with majestic eyes, knocked on the table with anger and said: "What about the dignity of our Spanish Empire?!" Are you ready to give up the dignity of the Spanish Empire and apologize to those lowly biological people?! ……”

Everyone saw that Acuña was angry, and they all avoided him with some eyes, and they didn't dare to look directly at him, only Miguel was not affected by his fierce gaze, squinted his eyes and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I think you really have to take a long-term view, although the secret agents we sent to China have not returned, but according to what I have learned from those biological people before, China's current situation will not be better than ours, and their national strength is declining, so we might as well make some concessions for the time being, This will prevent us from being caught between China and the Dutch, and when we defeat the Dutch in Maluku, it will not be too late to deal with the Biological Humans, and then maybe we will really have the opportunity to plant the flag of our Spanish Empire on the land of the Biological Men and open up our colonies there, and who will dare to ignore the dignity of our Spanish Empire at that time?! ……”

Acuña was finally moved by Miguel's words, and his ambition was ignited, if he opened up a colony on Chinese soil, he would undoubtedly become the greatest governor of the Philippines, so he nodded and gritted his teeth: "Okay! Your Excellency Bishop has a point! Then, according to the plan that Moga just said, when the Dutch in Maluku have been driven out, I will definitely personally lead our armada to conquer the kingdom of the biological people, and let them know that the dignity of the Spanish Empire cannot be offended! ……”

Moga was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency the Governor, you don't have to come forward in person, let me talk to the messenger of the biological man, and when the Dutch in Maluku are driven away, the initiative is in our hands, we can terminate the agreement at any time, levy a heavier tax on the biological person, and then we will have the final say!" ……”

Miguel glanced at the happy Moga, and said contemplatively: "That's fine, Moga will sign the agreement with the Governor on behalf of His Excellency the Governor, and His Excellency the Governor will have a reason to abolish this agreement at any time in the future, but this young Biological Messenger is not simple, I think we must strengthen the intelligence collection of the Biological Human, I have a hunch that this young Biological Messenger will definitely become the biggest threat to our conquest of the East, we must keep an eye on him, Strangle him in the cradle before he becomes a threat to our conquest of the East! ……”

The next fourth round of negotiations went relatively smoothly, the Spaniards made concessions with the calculation of tearing up the agreement at any time, and Guo Zhiyuan did not hope that Spain would keep his word, he knew that only when he really had a strong force in his hands could he guarantee that such a historical tragedy would not be repeated again, what he needed now was time, with the advantage of the traverser, he was confident that he would be able to establish his own maritime power in a few years, and he would not be afraid even if the Spaniards tore up the agreement!

Of course, there will still be differences between the two sides on some details, the two sides have their own intentions, after some bargaining, finally reached a consensus, the Spaniards' compensation will be completed in five years, the first two years of China and Luzon trade tax full deduction, the last three years of 50 percent, the reason why the time is so agreed, the Spaniards think that they have two years is enough to drive the Dutch out of Maluku, then they can tear up the agreement at any time, And Guo Zhiyuan is also confident that as long as he is given two years, he will be able to establish his own power at sea, and he is not afraid that the Spaniards will not keep the contract.

In order to ensure the implementation of the agreement, the two sides also agreed that China could send a tax official to Manila, and reassign the original Chinese gathering area --- Eighth Company to the Ming merchants who came to Manila to do business, and in order to protect the safety of these Ming businessmen, China could send a small number of troops to the Eighth Company, and the number of people could not exceed 200.

At this point, Guo Zhiyuan played a cautious eye, proposing that the tax officer sent by China can only be appointed by Guo Zhiyuan, and the Spaniards only recognize the tax officer sent by Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan is naturally doing this for his next plan, so that the trade between China and Luzon is equivalent to being controlled by Guo Zhiyuan, and he can also use this to quickly accumulate his own maritime power and wealth, and at the same time have a window to the outside world, which can collect advanced technology from the West and material resources that China does not have.

The Spaniards didn't intend to keep the treaty for a long time, so they didn't pay much attention to Guo Zhiyuan's request, since Guo Zhiyuan wanted to make some oil and water for himself, the army of 200 people could not reach them any threat, as long as they were free, they could launch another Manila at any time. Slaughter. Kill, readily agreed. It wasn't until a few years later that they realized that they had underestimated Guo Zhiyuan, and they were about to regret agreeing to Guo Zhiyuan's condition.

At this time, the Spaniards naturally did not think so, Moga felt that with a paper agreement that could not be implemented for a long time, he could resolve the crisis of the joint attack between China and the Dutch, resume the interrupted trade between China and Luzon, and make money from the biological man, which was definitely a good deal for the Spaniards, and as a signatory of the agreement, he would also establish a higher prestige among the Spanish citizens of the Philippines, and increase the bargaining chip for him to compete for the position of Governor of the Philippines. So he happily signed his name on behalf of Acuña with a quill on the agreement.

Guo Zhiyuan also signed his name on the agreement, all the terms were written in Chinese and Western characters twice, and the two sides exchanged signatures after signing, Guo Zhiyuan handed over the signed agreement to Fa Zheng and asked him to put it away, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and immediately offered to let Moga take him to see the imprisoned Chinese prisoners.

There were more than 500 Chinese prisoners imprisoned by the Spaniards, and most of their relatives were in Manila last year. Slaughter. Killed in the killing, imprisoned by the Spaniards for a whole year, and had to do hard labor, the pain of losing their loved ones and the daily torture made them lose hope in life, even the news of their release did not make them feel much excited, and they were driven together by the Spanish soldiers like cattle, looking blankly at Guo Zhiyuan, who rescued them.
