Guo Zhiyuan smiled when he saw that Chen Zizhen's tone softened, people like Chen Zizhen are actually the best to handle, greedy for money and afraid of things, as long as he is pulled into the water, not only does he not dare to be unfavorable to himself, but he also has to find a way to help himself cover up, of course, he can't be ruthless against him, he has to give a sweet date when he beats a stick, so he said haha: "How can the lower official harm the adult, the harm to the adult is to harm the lower official himself, Dongfan Bank is open on the ground of the adult, and it depends on the care of the adult, I have reserved a bank for the adult. Adults just need to open one eye and close one eye and wait for the money to be collected......"

Chen Zizhen has been pulled into the water by Guo Zhiyuan, and he can also go to the dark all the way, listening to Guo Zhiyuan say that he will be given a dry share, greed suddenly overcame the fear of the court, turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just this once, don't take it as an example!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was secretly funny, and said in his heart that it would be up to you, but his mouth was full of promises: "Don't take an example, don't take an example!" ……”

Chen Zizhen's side is settled, but the Spanish side is not so easy to speak, the Spanish governor in Manila City Acuña heard that Guo Zhiyuan asked that future trade should be traded with the newly issued silver coins of Dongfan, and the branch of Dongfan Bank has been grandly opened to the rebuilt Chinese residential area in Manila, and he was immediately angry, and said angrily: "These biological people are really too much, and they have to inch in!" This is a provocation against the great Spanish Empire, do they think we really don't dare to go to war with them?! ……”

Captain Thomas was already angry about the last time Guo Zhiyuan sent an envoy to Luzon to ask the Spaniards to apologize for killing the innocent businessmen of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon, and immediately jumped up and shouted when he heard this: "Our previous foreign policy towards biological people was too weak, so that these biological people who do not know whether they live or die can gain an inch, please give an order from Your Excellency the Governor, I will immediately lead the royal city guard to kill all the biological people in Manila!" ……”

Big. Judge Moga, who had always looked down on the simple-minded Thomas, immediately mocked: "It's easy to kill all the biological people in Manila, but what about after killing them?" It's nothing more than to repeat what happened five years ago, we need Chinese goods, kill them all, who will give us the goods? ……”

Acuña, as the governor, naturally can't consider the problem as simple as Thomas, listening to Moga said this also calmed down, now these Chinese specialties in Spain are becoming more and more popular with the nobles, but also make their trade with China bigger and bigger, if the innocent merchants of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon are slaughtered again, the trade with China is bound to be interrupted again, and then those nobles who are used to drinking Chinese tea and can't do without the "old godmother hot sauce" every meal are estimated to be violent and will not be able to step down, or he, the governor, will step down!

Thinking of this, Acuña turned his head to look at Archbishop Miguel with some hesitation, and kicked the ball to him: "Your Excellency, what do you think about this matter?" ……”

Miguel has always regarded himself as a wise man, and said calmly: "Judge Moga is right, we need Chinese goods, so we can't let the events of five years ago repeat themselves, this Guo Zhiyuan is different from those biological officials we have seen, he is very cunning, and he is very familiar with us, we must not underestimate him, we have already suffered a loss in this last time......"

Thomas couldn't help it when he heard it, and rushed to say: "Then are we going to let this Guo Zhiyuan provoke?" Don't want the dignity of our great Spanish Empire? ……”

Miguel smiled and said, "Of course you can't let them provoke, haven't you heard a word?" The bullet without the disembowel is the most deterrent, now our biggest problem is that Guo Zhiyuan knows us very well, but our understanding of him is very limited, so we will be so passive, I suggest that we can send a fleet to Dongfan, on the one hand, to show our strength to the opponent, on the other hand, to understand our opponent, I heard that the Dutch are also very dissatisfied with Guo Zhiyuan, this time without the help of the Dutch, I don't know what confidence Guo Zhiyuan has in the face of our powerful Invincible Armada......"

Thomas was still a little unconvinced: "What is there to know about this, it's not that we haven't seen a human warship, such a warship, we can fight a hundred Spanish warships, give me a fleet, I can sweep them!" ……”

Acuña interrupted the words of Thomas, who was simple-minded and well-limbed, with some impatience, and waved his hand: "Thomas, don't say any more, just follow the advice of the Bishop, we will send a fleet to Dongfan, this time I will go in person, whether to start a war or not depends on the situation and then decide!" ……”

In the end, the Spaniards sent a fleet of 22 Spanish galleons, don't look at the number doesn't sound much, but it is already a luxury lineup, you must know that the Spaniards can claim to be an invincible armada, not by number, but by their powerful firepower configuration, colonies like the Philippines and Indonesia, the Spaniards only need to send a few such warships to sweep, even if the Daming Naval Division at this time, and the West these maritime powers are at war, they are also in absolute weakness, This gap can only be made up by tens or even hundreds of times.

Take the naval battle of Tuen Mun Island between the Ming Dynasty Navy Division and the Portuguese fleet on Tuen Mun Island in 1521 as an example, when the Ming Dynasty Navy Division dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 50 warships and fishing boats to attack the Portuguese armed group occupying Tuen Mun Island, and the Portuguese on Tuen Mun Island at that time only had 5 warships, and the soldiers and sailors added up to more than 800 people. In the end, the Portuguese forced their way out of the encirclement with three battleships! It can be seen how big the difference in strength between the two sides is!

Not to mention that the strength of the Spanish Empire far surpassed that of Portugal, and its fleet was superior to the Portuguese warships in terms of firepower and combat effectiveness, and the fleet composed of 22 Spanish galleons sent this time can be regarded as an eagle fighting rabbit, which also shows that Acuña attaches great importance to this trip to the East!

Such a powerful fleet is naturally imposing, the merchant ships and pirate ships along the way are shocked to see the Spanish flag flying high on the mast of the fleet from a distance, and they quickly escaped, they know that the Spanish fleet has been operating in the waters around Luzon, but this time it is so fanfare that it is approaching the Chinese mainland, there must be something big to happen!

The Spanish fleet has not yet arrived, the news has quickly spread to Dongfan, Xu Guangqi and others were shocked when they heard the news, although they have not dealt with the Spaniards, but the rumors that the Spanish fleet is strong and invincible at sea they have heard, and now the Dongfan Navy is still being formed, and there are only about 20 new warships that can be launched, and they have not yet fully formed combat effectiveness, how to resist the menacing Spanish fleet known as invincible at sea?!
