Although there were 300,000 or 400,000 natives under Spanish rule, was this useful?

If they were really strong in combat, they wouldn't be ruled by so few people as they were in Spain!

Of course, this also has to do with the situation on the Luzon side.

The natives of Luzon are distributed on the islands of Luzon and exist in the form of tribes. Moreover, there is hatred between the various tribes and attacks each other. Coupled with the backwardness of civilization, it was broken by the Spaniards and controlled by force and religion to rule Luzon.

At this time, hearing Diego's question, Philot was also a little puzzled: "I don't know what's going on, I was negotiating with the earl of Mingguo, and suddenly said that there was a will from their emperor." The earl took the will, and that was it. ”

"So, this is what Emperor Ming meant?" When Diego heard this, his face became more and more ugly, "How can this be?" ”

"yes, I can't figure it out either!" Philot also said with a puzzled face: "The massacre more than ten years ago, it was also this emperor who was in power. At the beginning, Ming Guo didn't even let out a fart, nothing happened at all! This emperor hasn't changed, so it stands to reason that he should be fine! The two previous massacres, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was also the same, and nothing has changed! ”

When he said this, Diego was also puzzled. I feel that why is his luck so bad, he only slaughtered Ming once, and Ming Ren's reaction was so fierce that he declared war on him?

However, in this Far East, the troops in his hands have not been able to give him a sense of security at all, and if he asks for reinforcements, the nearest reinforcements are also on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and he can't ask for reinforcements at all, what should he do? Could it be that he was defeated by the Ming army, and then ended up with his ears cut off or even killed?

The thought of this made the sweat on his forehead come down. I couldn't stand still, so I walked back and forth in the house like ants on a hot pot, anxiously thinking of countermeasures.

Suddenly, Diego seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, and immediately looked up and said to Philott: "Now our advantage is only at sea. I will immediately send someone to the sea to warn, as long as I find that the Ming army is coming across the sea, I will fight a decisive battle with the Ming army at sea! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, it may not be useful!" When Philot heard this, he shook his head bitterly and denied the claim.

When Diego heard this, without waiting for Philott to continue, he shouted angrily: "How can it be useless? Even if our warships are not as many as the Ming army, they can definitely kill the Ming Sea Fleet with one top ten! ”

When Filot heard this, he still shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, you haven't seen the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, there are at least three hundred ships!" Even if it's just a big warship, there are about a hundred of them......"

"What's wrong with a hundred? Is a hundred too much? When Diego heard this, he happened to walk to the edge of his desk, slapped the table, and shouted frantically, "Believe it or not, our fleet can still defeat them?" ”

"Your Excellency, you didn't listen to me!" Philot's speech was interrupted continuously, and he was also a little irritable, and immediately raised his voice and said, "And the Portuguese, who also listen to the Ming Kingdom now, will definitely take this opportunity to fight us together!" ”

When Diego heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly confirmed: "You said that the Portuguese will also take this opportunity to fight us?" They are such unprincipled thieves, and they still want to unite with the Orientals to fight us? ”

It seems to be a bit of a fuss, but in fact, these Western colonizers often encountered such things in the process of overseas colonization. The first colonists were at war with the natives, and the later colonists helped the natives to fight with the first settlers. When defeated, tear your face to deal with the natives and colonize.

Therefore, as soon as Filot heard this, he knew that the governor had already remembered that his mind was a little confused, so he said in a loud voice: "The Portuguese have formed an alliance with the Ming Kingdom, and they say that they have formed some kind of brotherly state......

If it were just the Portuguese, these Spaniards would not be afraid. If it was only the Ming army, these Spaniards felt that they still had a psychological advantage; But now that the Portuguese and the Ming army are colluding together, these Spaniards are frightened.

Diego listened to Filot's introduction, and even couldn't stand still, shook a few times, slowly retreated to the edge of the chair, and sat down.

However, in his distraction, he made a mistake in his prediction, and did not sit in the correct position, but only sat on the edge of the chair, and as a result, he slipped down and sat on the ground. Suddenly, I grabbed my hands and tried to grab the table, but I grabbed the documents on the table, and instead grabbed them.

Philott was a little dumbfounded, and saw that the Governor was falling on all fours, and he was embarrassed.

Naturally, the others also saw it, and the sudden appearance of this scene made one of them, who had no ears, laugh out loud immediately. But he came back to his senses immediately, as if he shouldn't laugh, so he quickly stopped again.

There was a panic in the house, but fortunately there were no injuries, but only a big start. Diego sat down breathlessly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do!

The Ming Kingdom declared war, such a huge empire, and the army sent was definitely in tens of thousands. It's just this little force on Luzon, how to fight? Even if this time it is difficult to win the battle by taking advantage of the geographical advantage, what if the Ming Kingdom sends troops again?

Unless...... Unless this time the Ming army is defeated neatly, let the Ming army know that on this sea, they have no chance of winning, only in this way can they win this war!

However, with the current strength of Luzon, is it possible?

Or, just 36 plans? However, without the will of the king, if you abandon Luzon and run away, you will definitely be punished if you go back!

The more I thought about it, the more sweat I had on Diego's bare head, and I couldn't wipe it off.

If he knew that Luzon's troop deployment had all been explained by Philott and others, I am afraid that he would not have any idea of winning the Ming army at all.

But obviously, he didn't expect this, and Filot and the others, they all wrote that confession to each other, so on the land back, they had already made an appointment with each other, and no one said anything, no one mentioned it, and if they mentioned it, they were beaten to death by others!

The atmosphere in the house is particularly tense. For a while, no one spoke, and everyone's expressions were not good-looking.

Suddenly, I heard Philot speak, "Your Excellency, or I have a solution!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Diego couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly looked up at him, urging him to say, "What's the way, hurry up!" ”

The others were also curious, so they looked at Filot, wondering what he could do?

They didn't know that Filot was actually thinking about escaping. However, if I fled to the Americas, I would not have survived to the other side without the help of the Pacific Current, so I did not think about escaping there.

Then he only had one idea, to go to Africa, where to go back to Spain.

However, it soon occurred to him that if he escaped from this route, he would have to pass through the Strait of Malacca, or a little farther Sunda.

However, the Strait of Malacca, formerly controlled by the Portuguese, has now been seized by the Dutch. As for the Sunda Strait, it is the closest to the base camp of the Dutch in the East.

Whether it's the Portuguese or the Dutch, it's a Spanish rebellion, and it won't work!

Thinking of this, Philott's heart suddenly moved, and he had an idea.

At this time, when he heard the Governor's question, he replied: "Your Excellency the Governor, we may be able to unite with the Dutch, so that we may be able to engage the Ming army at sea and defeat them." ”

"Impossible!" When Diego heard this, he flatly denied it, "Those are rebellious ......"

After saying this, he suddenly realized that for now, maybe there was really only this way, so he frowned again and changed his words, "Even if we have this heart, will those Dutch form an alliance with us against the Ming army?" ”

Hearing that the Governor had changed his words, Philot immediately replied: "Do you remember the Governor, didn't there be news that the Dutch's stronghold in Taiwan had been captured by the Ming army, and everyone had been killed!" They have an enmity, and they will form an alliance with us against the Ming army! ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it for a while, and then added: "Also, now that the Portuguese have become accomplices of the Ming Kingdom, they will definitely want to dominate the Far East, so it is likely that the next step will be to use troops against ......the Dutch."

After a pause, his eyes rolled, and Philot immediately said: "Even if we don't use troops against the Dutch, we can say that the country will definitely use troops against the Dutch!" ”

Hearing this, Diego thought carefully for a moment, then stood up with a little joy and said, "Okay, in this way, at least there is a little hope." Just go and convince the Dutch to send a fleet to help in the war! ”

When he said this, he looked at Philot and added: "You have two ears cut off, yes, let the Dutch see the cruelty of the Ming army to us!" ”

I had both ears cut off, and you still say it's good? Philott couldn't help but scold Diego angrily in his heart, but he also had to admit that he could sell miserably like this.

Time is pressing, and I don't know if the Dutch will finally agree to send troops, and even if they do, I don't know if they will be able to rush over to help in the war.

Therefore, without further ado, without even taking a sip of water, Filot immediately took their fastest galleon in Spain and hurried to Batavia to find the Dutch.

Sometimes, God really takes a nap, and luck will not always be on the side of the Ming army.

In terms of distance, the voyage from Hoi An in Annam to Luzon is much closer than that from Manila in Luzon to Batavia. Even if the Dutch could send troops immediately after hearing the news, they would definitely not be able to catch up with the war in Luzon, at least not in the early stage.

However, God went and did them a favor and made them an alliance.
