After listening to the translation, the two looked at each other, and Paletta said: "We ask the ship's owner to protect the local Portuguese as well as the church and the clergy, and in two days seven Portuguese and one priest have been killed. ”

When Yang Changfan heard this, his face was calm: "When you slaughtered the locals and MSL, who did they go to protect them?" ”

After the translation, Paletta gritted his teeth and said, "Sagarus once said that the owner of the ship is a leader who knows how to be diplomatic. ”

Yang Changfan nodded: "Of course, so I didn't abuse any of your captives, but it is not in my interest to protect the residents and churches of your country, I am the liberator of the local area and not your accomplice, if your country can open enough chips, I am happy to do it." ”

Canelas hurriedly said: "With all due respect, the shipowner's fleet is by no means a match for our East India Combined Fleet, and the shipowner cannot hold this place. In this case, the owner should leave a way back for himself. ”

Zhao Guangtou said angrily when he heard this: "Little Brown Mao is still shouting if he loses!" If it weren't for the shipowner's intention to protect him, Lao Tzu would have skinned you a long time ago! ”

Canelas also did not lose: "Killing me will only strengthen the determination of our navy to win!" ”

"Alright, alright." Yang Changfan waved his hand helplessly and said, "There will be another boat today to send your clergy and residents out of Ambon, and I really don't care if you don't leave." ”

Paletta added: "I hope the shipowner will seal off the church so that it will not be burned down by the locals." ”

"Again, didn't you think about this when you burned the mosque?"

“……”

After the two Portuguese looked at each other again, Canelas argued: "In that case, it is enough for the owner of the ship to allow the local administration to leave Ambon as well, and for me and Paletta, and the navy as prisoners of war." They are only salaried natives, not military personnel. ”

Yang Changfan said with a smile: "I understand, I will consider paying them salaries, so that they can work with peace of mind in their respective positions for the time being." ”

After that, he asked, "Do you two live on wages?" In this way, I will also pay you a salary, please help me do something. ”

Canelas was as earthy as an earthy face.

Paletta was excited: "Yes, I will do my best to maintain order." ”

"I can too, but you can't be a governor, you can only be a vice-governor, only the executive power."

Paletta nodded closely: "I will maintain the interests of all parties here, please rest assured." ”

"Then you can go back and rest."

Coaxed the two away, Yang Changfan couldn't help but smile with Zhao Guangtou: "This is considered a traitor, right?" ”

"Hahahaha! I'd be more worthy of that tough captain! ”

"Not really." Xu Wenchang said to Palota, "Most of the local Francois are indeed administrators who work on salaries, and helping us do things is conducive to controlling the situation, I don't think it is to the extent of treason." ”

In this regard, the Spice Islands centered on Ambon came under Yang Changfan's control. As for the scattered Portuguese merchant ships, Yang Changfan didn't need to deal with them at all, the pirates were the best at pinching such soft persimmons, and some places where the Huiwangfu fleet had no time to take care of were also sacked by pirates. The appearance of pirates certainly had the effect of monopolizing the shipping routes, but at the same time, it also ruined the reputation of the Huiwangfu in the local area, although the Huiwangfu stated that it had nothing to do with them, but no one believed it.

The trade route was opened, the materials were delivered, the port and the strait, Yang Changfan began to urgently practice naval battles, not stingy with shells, the fleet bombarded the imaginary enemy wildly, and in the process of indiscriminate bombing, 3 artillery pieces were blown up, dozens of dumb bombs, and dozens of wounded, which made Yang Changfan shudder, if the decisive battle was carried out like this, it was really not an opponent at all.

At the same time, the Portuguese fleet in Malacca began to sail to Ambon, and the combined fleet that lost Canelas was slightly inferior to the Huiwangfu, and the number was only about one-third of the Huiwangfu, but Yang Changfan did not dare to underestimate it at all, and stepped up the training, and mobilized and hired locals to make up for the number of sailors and oarsmen, so that the Huiwangfu sergeants were more engaged in battle.

On the seventh day of August, when the Combined Fleet was still three days away from Ambon, Shagar Road landed first.

Sagaru regretted it very much, he regretted that he still underestimated this man.

The location of his landing negotiations has changed from Kyushu to Penghu, from Penghu to Manila, and now from Manila to Ambon.

I wanted to smile, but when I saw Yang Changfan and two compatriots Canelas and Palotta in the governor's palace, Shagaru couldn't smile.

"Ship owner."

"Sit." Yang Changfan looked at a few Portuguese, "You should communicate freely first and learn about the local situation." ”

A few of them were not formal, and they started to talk in the most local Portuguese, and they couldn't even understand the translation.

After a while, Sha Jialu nodded at Yang Changfan and said, "The owner of the ship is very wise and has reserved the last hope for peace. ”

Yang Changfan knew that since Shajialu came first, the other party still didn't want to fight, so it was better to listen to the price they offered: "Say, what kind of peace law." ”

"The owner doesn't like to say useless things, so I'm going to make our bottom line straight here - divide the moluccas."

Yang Changfan's eyebrows raised: "How to divide it?" ”

Sagaru took out a chart and drew the area of the Moluccas, and crossed it in the middle: "Bounded by the central island of Obi, the north is yours, and the south is ours." ”

"No, I'm going to settle for Ambon."

Sagaru's eyebrows tightened: "Ship owner, my country's years of hard work have led to the prosperity of Ambon today, and our people have already taken root in the local area. Moreover, for the shipowners, the interests of the South Seas are nothing more than spices, and we can share these spices, so why do we have to engage in aggression and war? ”

"Aggression and war? Say it out of your mouth, hahaha! Yang Changfan laughed and said, "I have already proposed to share the South Seas, but what answer did you give me?" Conversion to God? Encampment in Luzon? ”

"It's not what it used to be."

"Yes, I won it by force today, but I don't think I should have gained so little force." Yang Changfan grabbed the chart and charcoal, and after thinking for a while, he also drew a line, "You and Spain follow the papal meridian, so let's also have an eastern meridian." ”

Yang Changfan's line is very brainless, almost in the middle of Southeast Asia, based on the longitude of Manila, to Portugal in the west, and to Huiwangfu in the east, which is almost the current division of power.

Yang Changfan put down the charcoal pen and said: "I'm not greedy, I just want where I want to go." ”

Seeing this, Sagaru smiled dryly: "Is the shipowner still ready to monopolize the spices?" (To be continued.) )
