If someone said such things to Acuña before he met Guo Zhiyuan, Acuña would definitely not hesitate to call the guards to arrest the person who said this and throw it out, a thousand warships? Isn't this a wild talk? Daming really has such strength and courage, why is it so big as Manila. Slaughter. It's been a year since the killings happened, and I'm still here grinding with myself, and I've already started fighting. But after seeing Guo Zhiyuan, Acunia's judgment of himself was a little shaken, Guo Zhiyuan's performance was indeed too different from those previous Ming envoys, his attitude was tough, and he did show the strength that made Acuña jealous, not to mention anything else, but Guo Zhiyuan's guards were all equipped with flintlock pistols, which was enough to make Acuña a rat trap!

Therefore, although Acuña didn't believe what Guo Zhiyuan said in his heart, thinking that he was lying and threatening, he didn't immediately call the guards to arrest Guo Zhiyuan and throw him out, but just snorted disdainfully, indicating that he had seen through Guo Zhiyuan's lies.

Guo Zhiyuan also knew that Acuña would not be intimidated by his few empty words and make concessions, so he said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if Your Excellency the Governor doesn't believe it, because I will prove it to His Excellency the Governor." We are not afraid of war, but we are not willing to start a war, because war is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting ourselves, so we generally take war as the last choice, and we will not take this step unless we have to......"

Acuña showed a mocking look on his face, and Guo Zhiyuan was still lying and intimidating, and there was no real threat at all, so he said impatiently: "Are you finished?" Then you can go out now, I will not agree to any of your requests, my armada will be waiting here for your so-called thousand warships, and then we will talk about it ......"

Guo Zhiyuan did not panic at all when the lie was exposed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is better for you to listen to my words before making a decision, I will tell Your Excellency the Governor now, if you refuse the conditions I proposed, we will gradually take countermeasures and the serious consequences that may arise, first, we will completely cut off the blockade of trade with Manila, and in the future, there will never be any more of our merchant ships in the port of Manila, and you will lose a huge source of tax revenue, You will no longer be able to buy my Ming ceramics, silk and other in-demand goods, this is already being done, maybe for the time being your country can still bear the losses caused by this, but if we keep the blockade, can you still bear it? Even if His Excellency the Governor could afford it, how could Manila continue to attract merchants from your country without the goods and tax revenues from our country? Where do you get the money to support your sacred missionary work? Will the church say yes? Will the royal family of your country say yes? At that time, I'm afraid that His Excellency the Governor's position will also be a little unstable, right? ……”

Acuña chuckled in his heart, this was exactly what he was most worried about, in fact, if it weren't for Spain's horse last year. Buddhist nun. The looting of a large number of goods and wealth of the Ming merchants who went to Manila to do business in the massacre can offset the resulting tax losses, but I am afraid that they will already have internal trouble, but if China continues to blockade, the losses will be far from so small.

However, Acuña was not willing to make concessions, and sneered: "So what? Without you, we can trade with the Japanese and Southeast Asian countries, buy your goods from them, and I know your biological people, the ban of your imperial court is just an empty word, as long as it is profitable, it will not be long before other biological people will come to trade with us......"

I have to say that Acuña's words do hit the inferior root nature of the Chinese, the typical good scar forgets the pain, in the original history, in 1603 Manila . Slaughter. Within a few years of the killings, the trade blockade of Manila became an empty phrase, and the Chinese maritime merchants soon resumed trade with Manila for the sake of huge maritime trade profits, which would lead to the recurrence of the next two tragedies. Even in later generations, there are countless examples of this, when a certain country has a row. Hua Yan. After the China incident, the domestic people may be very angry and launch a boycott in a short time, but it will not be long before a large number of tourists will flock to the country to travel and frantically sweep goods. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to refute Acuña's words, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that His Excellency the Governor has not fully understood the situation, not only you Spaniards know how profitable the trade with our country is, many countries on the European continent, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France are waiting in line to trade with us, even the Portuguese who wear a pair of pants with you are hoping that you will withdraw from the commercial competition here as soon as possible, this is the second countermeasure I want to say, I have contacted the Dutch leader sent to the East, Wei Malang, who is very interested in establishing a colony in the Philippines in your place! ……”

Acuña's face finally changed, Guo Zhiyuan really hit his key point now, as the Spanish governor in the Philippines, Acuña is of course very aware of the ambitions of the Dutch, and Guo Zhiyuan even said the name of Wei Malang, obviously it is not a lie, and he immediately roared inwardly: "The Dutch are delusional!" As long as they dare to come, I will definitely let them know how powerful the Spanish Armada is! I will prove to God that his faithful servant has not declined to the point where he cannot lift a gun or a sword! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Acuña and added lightly: "The Dutch may not be your opponent, but what if you add our country's thousand warships?" Is Your Excellency the Governor confident that he will be able to face the two of us at the same time? Your Excellency the Doge doesn't really think that your Armada can be invincible at sea, does you? As far as I know, your "myth" of invincibility has been put to an end by the British? ……”

These words hit Acuña's sore spot, a terrifying cold light erupted in his eyes, his eyes were blood-red staring at Guo Zhiyuan, and a thick murderous intent shrouded Guo Zhiyuan! Guo Zhiyuan looked back without showing weakness, without flinching or evading at all. The two stared at each other in the air for several minutes, and the silence in the office was terrifying. The air was so tense that it looked like it could be lit with a match!

Even Felisha on the side felt the atmosphere depressed and **, she was naturally biased towards her father's side, but she also appreciated Guo Zhiyuan's calm response, she had never seen anyone who could make her father so out of shape, so she chuckled at Guo Zhiyuan and said: "I believe that such a thing will not happen, otherwise my father would not have met you here......"

Guo Zhiyuan didn't want to really tear his face with Acuña, after all, what he said just now was also deceiving Acuña, and he couldn't implement it at all, so he raised the silver cup in his hand, saluted Felisa, and said with a smile: "I don't want such a thing to happen, it's too ungentlemanly to talk about war in front of the beautiful Miss Felisa, I apologize to Miss Felisa......"

Acuña happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and also laughed and said: "Yes, you can't talk about war in front of women, it's our men's business!" As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers and said to Guo Zhiyuan: "I already know your request, this matter is too important, I need to discuss it with my colleagues before I can make a decision, Mr. Guo is coming to Manila for the first time, it is better to stay first, let Felisa accompany you to take a look, and then give you an answer when we have discussed......"

Guo Zhiyuan knew that this was already the best result, the negotiation could not be achieved overnight, and Acuña could not immediately give in because of his empty words, so he put down the silver cup in his hand and stood up, and said with a slight smile: "I hope I won't wait too long for ......", and then bowed to Felisa and said: "I am very honored to have the beautiful Miss Felisa accompany me to appreciate the style of Manila!" ……”

Felisa is now more and more interested in Guo Zhiyuan, and giggled: "I am also honored to be a guide for the envoy from the Eastern Country......

Guo Zhiyuan followed Felisa and left, Acuña's face instantly became gloomy, he beckoned to the attendant, and said fiercely: "Find someone to keep an eye on them, don't let them walk around, and don't let them see what they can't see!" ……”

In the next few days, Guo Zhiyuan wandered around Manila City every day under the leadership of Felisa, but also had some gains, the Spaniards have been operating in Manila for many years, Manila City has been quite prosperous, there are many shops opened by Spaniards here, Guo Zhiyuan saw a lot of good things that cannot be bought in Daming here, such as Westerners' clocks, jewelry, etc., the most surprising thing for Guo Zhiyuan is that he also saw a glass shop here, Guo Zhiyuan has always wanted to make glass, with glass he can make telescopes, It's a pity that his chemical knowledge is too scumbag, and he can't make it if he wants to, but now that he has ready-made glass, it's easy to do.

In order not to let the Spaniards see through their intentions, Guo Zhiyuan did not let those Spanish businessmen help him polish the lenses, those Chinese businessmen who were imprisoned by Spain have been doing business in Manila for many years, and there must be talents in this area, and when the time comes, let them help them polish themselves, and they can build the telescope!

Guo Zhiyuan also found tobacco here, Luzon tobacco is very famous, Guo Zhiyuan bought several tons in one go, ready to go back to get cigars out, specializing in the high-end market, this is another way to make money. So then Guo Zhiyuan opened the loser mode of buying, buying, buying, buying, he is not bad for money now, as long as he is too lazy to pay back the price, he is quite generous, and has become the most popular "big Kaizi" welcomed by Spanish businessmen, as long as he is coming, all the Spanish businessmen all run to the door of the shop to greet him with a smile.
