"It's full of risks, of course, but it's also full of opportunities, right?" Yang Changfan gestured out of thin air, "Imagine what kind of prosperity it will be for Daming's raw silk to be sent to the factory in Mexico, what kind of income will be from the silver from the Americas to the port of Manila, and when Europe no longer depends on your country's Asia-Africa routes, who will be the biggest beneficiary and victim?" ”

Sagaru's wheezing grew heavier.

For many years, the owner of a ship in the East was just a frog at the bottom of a well, obedient as long as he was fed, but now in front of him is a shipowner who has a huge amount of information and a strategic overview of the world.

"Now the Spaniards have no intention of coming to the Philippines, and our country will not sit idly by."

Compared with the tension of Shajialu, Yang Changfan is full of confidence, just because his control and understanding of the situation far surpasses that of this businessman: "Don't force Shagaru, you are just struggling to maintain, your country has never had the strength to colonize half the world, the colonies in Africa are already in danger, the king is addicted to fantasy, and the nobles enjoy themselves all day long, I don't think you have the confidence to fight with us, let alone Spain." ”

At this point, the tension in Sagaru finally reached its highest point.

Even Xu Wenchang and the others on the side were secretly surprised.

This is no longer a provocation, but coercion, grasping your psychological shortcomings and exerting pressure.

"I don't understand where the information from the shipowner came from...... But I can assure you that SebastiΓ£o I was a wise and enterprising monarch. Beads of sweat dripped from Sagaru's forehead.

"I don't care about this, I just need you to give me the result as soon as possible, I believe that in the current situation, you can't call the shots." Yang Changfan opened his hands, "Share the South Seas with us, and we are responsible for fighting against Spain; Or against us, we don't mind dealing with the entire Villa Peninsula at the same time. ”

Xu Wenchang wanted to correct Yang Changfan's wording, but after seeing his eyes, he still held back.

"......" Sha Jialu glared at Yang Changfan for a moment, and then suddenly turned to look at Xu Wenchang, "Have you ever traveled to Europe or the American continent?" ”

Xu Wenchang laughed when he heard this: "The sons and daughters of China, like gulls, birds, guinea fish, are all over the world, and they are just a frog at the bottom of a well." ”

Shagaru shook his head, finally got up, and stretched out his right hand: "I will inform the Governor of Malacca of the situation, and leave the rest to the king and God." ”

"It is hoped that in two months we will be able to enter the stage of signing the agreement, during which time all trade will continue, but if your fleet insists on entering our routes, we will also enter the routes of the South Seas."

"Please be lenient, the owner should know that the road is long."

"There's a fleet back to Europe in Malacca, you go back now, it's too late."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sending away Shajia Road, everyone had to bow to Yang Changfan.

is not only the elusive interception and expulsion before, but also the precision of poking Shajialu's weakness in a few words, Yang Changfan has reached the point of being a god.

Zhao Guangtou watched the boat on Shajialu leave from afar, rubbed his head and exclaimed: "After so many years, I have never seen such a Shajialu." ”

Xu Wenchang bowed his hand and bowed: "The ship's owner has given him this grace and power, and I didn't expect to make Franc bow his head so far." ”

"A young shipowner is no less than an old shipowner!"

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to seize this South Sea!"

Yang Changfan waved his arm and said: "Everyone, it's not that I have a strong mouth, it's really the old shipowner who is powerful, such a powerful fleet, invincible in the four seas, it's just that we were willing to succumb to the East China Sea before." ”

"That's right! Is Franc our opponent? ”

"Let's talk about peace in this Luzon country, how can we talk about a few francs?"

"Don't be too confident, Francois is vicious and brutal, and now that he is under pressure, he will brew a poisonous scheme." Ma Laojiu, the boss of the horse, gritted his teeth and said, "Looking down, the words of those who rebel will not be credible." ”

"That's what Ma Laojiu said." Xu Wenchang nodded beside him, "But the shipowner's plan is just delaying time, and in two months, Little Manila has been completed, and it is more secure for us to wait for the South Seas to be conquered again." If the Fran Dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and gathers the fleet here to break the net with us, it is the most fearful. ”

Ma Laojiu said humbly when he heard this: "The clever plan of the military advisor and the shipowner is nothing more than the words of the horseman." ”

"Okay, we have always been inclusive of all parties' remarks, Lao Jiu's trip is indispensable, what he said is true, since he has the same hatred for Franco, it is better to join the gang and be in charge of Manila commerce and trade, what do you think?"

"Ma Laojiu is his own person, so he can naturally do it."

"It just so happens that we don't want to deal with the egg king."

"Lao Jiushi is a trustworthy return!"

Ma Laojiu had a hard time riding a tiger, so he had to say: "Everything else is easy to say, but I don't want to cooperate with Franco." ”

"Cooperation is temporary, war is certain, how can the land of the South Seas be allowed to wreak havoc?"

Ma Laojiu gritted his teeth when he heard this: "With the words of the shipowner, Lao Jiu joins the gang." ”

Yang Changfan raised his hand and announced, "The first expedition to Nanyang will be suspended for the time being, and we will make plans after Franc Ji replies." From today onwards, Zhao Guangtou will temporarily serve as the Admiral of the First Fleet, and Ma Laojiu will serve as the Governor of Manila. ”

Everyone received the order, they didn't expect the southern expedition to be so short and so successful.

Xu Wenchang explained: "The owner of the ship was afraid that Dongfan would lose, so he stopped here. In addition, our front should not be too long, and it is the best policy to fight steadily and steadily, and the stronghold in the South China Sea depends on you. ”

Amid the applause, Little Manila stood still.

Yang Changfan wrote a letter informing the Luzon King Hui that the Franc plane had been completely dispatched and that the route was safe, and that the Hui Wangfu fleet would continue to defend the route and defend Manila in the future.

Seeing this situation, Suleiman was once again bittersweet, and he had no choice but to send a smile on his face, no matter the number of sergeants, the size of the ships, or the quality of the guns.

Yang Changfan, Xu Wenchang and Teqi led Zheng He to return home. It's not that he feels more comfortable staying in Dongfan, it's just that he really needs a rhythm now, the rhythm of immigration, and only enough immigrants to Manila can really stand on this stronghold, and he has to shout some slogans again.

Ride the wind back to the east, all the way without danger or danger. In fact, there will be no thrills, Yang Changfan will pay attention to the charts of the East China Sea and the South China Sea every day, whether it is the Ming Navy Division or the Japanese pirates, if there is a large-scale operation, it will be the first time to see it, including the Franc Machine, if the Franc Aircraft has a situation of gathering the fleet for a decisive battle, he will return to Manila for the first time to deploy operations.

With Portugal, Yang Changfan is really not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, because there is no need to fight, it will soon wither. Moreover, the benefits of Southeast Asian trade are all in pepper and spices, and it is easy to get these things. Spain, which has swept through South America and is about to destroy Luzon, is a terrible opponent, unlike Franco, who relies on artillery to be sharp, Spain, which occupies the silver mines of the Americas, is a vampire with great profits, and the route between Manila and Mexico is the real profiteering.

What he wants to build is a monolithic city of Manila, and at the same time continue to expand the territory of China and make more ironclad plates. (To be continued.) )
