Zhang Huan's words were loud, and the spirits of the maritime merchants were lifted by the listening. In the past, they had a taste of the Shangxiyi splint ships, but they had never heard today's rhetoric.

"The words of the hero are very heroic, but in the future, if we are sent, we will go all out!" Meng Fanrui arched his hand and said.

He was just polite and said something about the scene. Zhang Huan said with a smile: "Since it is the kindness of everyone, you can't save face for everyone." Now there is a chance to make a fortune, I wonder if everyone is willing to participate? ”

After Meng Fanrui and the other maritime merchants heard this, they felt bitter in their hearts. It was just a polite remark just now, but Zhang Huan was unceremonious. One by one, they couldn't help but show embarrassment, and their eyes dodged everywhere and didn't dare to look at Zhang Huan.

Meng Fanrui peeked at Zhang Huan, and found that Zhang Huan's face gradually became ugly, so he couldn't help but stubbornly say: "I'm just a businessman, wouldn't it be a sin if I delay the hero's big event?" ”

Zhang Huan's face softened slightly, and said: "Originally, for the sake of the people of Huaxia, I wanted to make a fortune with everyone. Who knew that the famous maritime merchants turned out to be a group of timid and fearful people, everyone walked slowly and did not send it away! After speaking, Zhang Huan was about to turn around and leave.

The maritime merchants didn't expect Zhang Huan to change his face so quickly, looking at the departing Zhang Huan, he was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do.

"Heroes stay! I don't know what I need to do? Meng Fanrui planned to listen to it first, and then he would talk about it, Zhang Huan made a fortune one by one, and he heard it itching in his heart.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Huan's mouth, who turned around and was about to leave, and he turned around and pointed to the galleon not far away with his hand and said: "That's the treasure ship of the Ganlas, and the silver that has been transported to Manila this year is a million taels of silver, and now all this silver is in Manila." As long as Manila is defeated, the entire silver mountain will be at your fingertips! ”

Hearing a million taels of silver, the eyes of the maritime merchants turned red, and they were short of breath, and there was a greedy look in their eyes.

When Meng Fanrui heard Zhang Huan's words, he was like everyone else at first, but he quickly reacted.

There has never been a pie-in-the-sky good thing, how could so much silver be given to them for nothing, do you want them to be cannon fodder to siege the city?

In that case, no matter how much silver you have, you won't have a life to enjoy. At that moment, he coughed loudly and said, "Although the silver is good, it must also be spent." Manila is a fortified city, and I am afraid it will be difficult to break through with us! ”

The others also came to their senses when they heard Meng Fanrui's words, Manila City is not easy to fight. There were a lot of artillery pieces at the head of the city alone, and there were not tens of thousands of people taking turns to attack them, so they didn't want to take such a fortified city.

"Haha!" Zhang Huan laughed twice before saying, "Do you think that you will be used as cannon fodder and dead soldiers to attack the city?" A few of them underestimated me, and the walls of Manila were not vulnerable at all. After breaking the walls of Manila, how many of you would like to help me take Manila in one fell swoop? ”

Hearing Zhang Huan's words, everyone was moved. Without the protection of the city wall, real knives and real guns, this group of maritime merchants really didn't fear anyone, and they came to the spirit one by one.

They glanced at each other, and finally Meng Fanrui spoke: "In that case, it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my fate." It's just that I don't know what the charter is for the income in the city? ”

"Of course, whoever grabbed it counts, everyone has their own ability!" Zhang Huan said indifferently.

"It's a deal!" The maritime merchants stood up one after another and responded to Zhang Huan with their fists.

"Walk slowly, you guys, there's a gift for you below!" When the maritime merchants were puzzled, Zhang Huan pointed to the forts on both sides of Manila Bay with his hand and said: "There should still be artillery that can be used there, all of which are gifts for everyone!" ”

Zhang Huan's reminder lifted the spirits of the maritime merchants, and the sharpness of Xiyi's artillery was the capital to save life at sea.

In the past, they had to pay a lot of money to buy it, but now that the artillery was in front of their eyes, the maritime merchants could not bear it anymore and wanted to rush to the battery to carry the artillery immediately.

"As a word of caution, Manila is not just about Ganlas and Han Chinese. Manila, which we have worked so hard to fight, cannot be exploited by outsiders! Zhang Huan's reminder made the departing maritime merchants pause, and then bowed down to thank them and left.

Looking at the maritime merchants who left in a hurry, the smile on the corner of Zhang Huan's mouth was even better. This is what they call the second plan, which is the backhand of the sneak attack on Manila.

Sneaking up on Manila is certainly the most time-saving and labor-saving method, as long as the death brigade rushes into the city. It is not difficult to quickly kill the head of the Ganlas, and it is not difficult to evacuate Manila while the Ganlas crowd is leaderless.

But accidents are everywhere, and once the sneak attack fails, the long march will be in danger. As long as the city of Manila withstands the attack of the long march, it will find a way to drive out the enemy.

They controlled Manila for many years and spread Catholicism widely among the natives. They would organize a large number of indigenous soldiers for a period of time, and with native soldiers as cannon fodder, it would be difficult for a long march to take the city of Manila.

The long march was not without its own foreign aid, and the numerous maritime merchants were a force to be reckoned with.

People who dare to go to sea to do business will not be afraid of things, at least they are much stronger than the natives. With their help, it is enough to offset the advantages of the natives.

This is also the reason why the long march failed to attack the city of Manila, and immediately opened a killing spree in the bazaar. They want to create an unprovoked influence in the hearts of the natives, and to make the natives who want to help the Ganlas people feel worried.

There is no doubt that the killing brigade of the bazaar was very successful, and the first battle killed the natives and the people of all countries.

All but a few who were still hiding in the shadows fled Manila. No one wants to face a group of murderous demons anymore, and Manila City will need more time to gather the natives.

As for the walls of Manila? As long as the 24-pounder long-barreled cannon was transported to the city, no matter how strong the walls were, they could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery at close range.

The maritime merchants who returned to the port did not stop at all, and immediately gathered their men and headed for the fort.

Regardless of the wealth in the city of Manila, there is white silver in the fort in front of you. They rushed desperately towards the fort, those who arrived first ate meat and those who arrived later drank soup, and those who arrived late did not even have soup.

Some of the small maritime merchants who were waiting in the harbor also got the news, and they didn't want to have as many ships as those maritime merchants, but they also had a lot of them.

Immediately, there was a bande of people intending to get a piece of the pie in Manila. It was too late for them to go to the fort at the moment, and these people had set their sights on the merchants in the bazaar.

As long as it is not the Akito or the target of their attack, the night market is no longer peaceful. Screams and fires were everywhere, and the natives and traders of the nations who had escaped during the day were once again looted.

Looking at the fire coming from the port market, the smile on Zhang Huan's face was even better. He aroused the greedy desires of the merchants, and everything that followed did not need to be worried about the long march.

Greedy businessmen don't let go of any wealth, and in a place as rich as Manila, businessmen can't let go.

All you need to do is follow the merchants!
