After talking about the affairs of Mexico, Bourblon was very satisfied, but Fernando was a little embarrassed, seeing this, it was Bourblon who took the initiative to help mention: "Your Majesty, Fernando still has something I want to ask for your country's consent. With that, he glanced at Fernando.

Fernando cast a grateful look, bowed down to Feng Yunshan and said another reason: "Your Majesty, your country has occupied Indochina before, Siam has also become a vassal state of your country, and now it owns most of the East Indies such as Borneo and Java Islands, and its power has dominated the entire Far East. Your Majesty is aware that the Philippine Islands have always been a Spanish dependency, and our Queen Isabel II is very worried about this, so she has specially ordered me to ask Your Majesty to conclude an alliance with your country for mutual non-aggression. I have heard that your country's losses in the naval battle of the East Indies are not small, and that warships must be needed to replenish the fleet, so in return, I will make the decision for the queen and sell one battleship and two cruisers to your country at a low price. After speaking, Fernando looked at Feng Yunshan expectantly.

When Feng Yunshan heard it, there was really a play. Quietly: "Sell at a low price? I don't know how much lower it can be? Compared to this Luzon Islands, this benefit is obviously not enough! Feng Yunshan's face turned straight, and he said loudly: "Speaking of the Luzon Islands, I remembered something. Some time ago, hundreds of expatriates who had returned from Luzon complained to the government that the foreigners on Luzon had arbitrarily bullied them, and had joined forces with the island's natives to seize their property and kill their families. I wonder if there is such a thing? ”

Fernando's face changed, and he smiled: "Naturally not." How can we oppress your nationals who have always been law-abiding and contributing to Spain? ”

"How could it not be? I have heard that since the beginning of the 17th century, the Viceroyalty of your country in the Luzon Islands has carried out large-scale massacres against the Chinese in Luzon under various pretexts, and there have been as many as six massacres against the Chinese, killing nearly 100,000 of my ancestors. I have already sent an envoy to the Luzon Islands to investigate, and on all occasions, as long as there are more than 30,000 Chinese compatriots in Luzon, your Spanish king will order the local governor's office to find an excuse to kill the Chinese compatriots of the Chinese Empire, which is basically a genocide that exterminates humanity, and is a serious discrimination and provocation against my Chinese Empire! For this reason, I am ready to send a large army to recover the Luzon Islands! You must know that this Luzon was a former vassal state of the Chinese Empire, and the king of Nasulu had dedicated the entire country to China, so not only the Chinese compatriots living in Luzon should be responsible for them, but also so many indigenous tribes, I must be responsible for them! ”

Fernando's face was very ugly. Just now, because of the joy brought by the benefits of 100,000 saint dollars promised by the other party, it disappeared in an instant, although he was greedy for money, he also had to sell the interests of Spain on the basis of loyalty to his country, and he was unwilling to do it.

Therefore, he resisted with difficulty: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Do you have to invade the Philippines and declare war on us and Spain? As the current governor, he naturally knows the history of the Spanish Governor's Office in the Philippines, the Chinese have always been a big force in the Philippines, and the successive Governors' Mansions, including himself, are all guarding against this group of hard-working and wealth-creating ethnic groups, and will be cleaned up regularly. If it weren't for the rapid development of the Chinese Empire, they would not have had time to implement it, and they were also preparing to clean up the Philippines again to prevent Chinese riots in response to the Chinese Empire. It's just that now, I'm afraid it won't work.

Bourblon stood aside, unable to speak.

Feng Yunshan sneered: "Invasion? No, it's just a reconquest! However, considering that your country is now an ally of the Chinese Empire, I will allow you to evacuate within a year, and I can compensate you with a sum of money to buy Luzon back. ”

Fernando left angrily with a blushing face, and Bourblon was worried, he was worried that the two sides would fall out and affect their Mexican affairs in France, so he hurriedly chased them out.

That night, Feng Yunshan was about to rest, when he heard Liu Shengbang report that the Spanish governor had come to ask for a meeting.

Feng Yunshan was a little strange, didn't he have a little trouble during the day, why did he still come? Let people bring in.

Fernando didn't see the unhappiness of the day on his face at this time, his face was full of smiles, and when he saw Feng Yunshan, he bowed and said loudly in a very non-fluent Hokkien dialect: "Your Majesty, Fernando has a secret matter to ask for help from Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can help, pay some more price, and it is not impossible for the Philippines to be returned to your country as mentioned during the day today." ”

Feng Yunshan was stunned! This Spanish governor doesn't seem to be easy! came with Burbulon on his back, and deliberately learned Hokkien dialect, I don't know why.

Because of the loss of a large number of colonies in the Americas, without the support of wealth, coupled with the fact that the country has not carried out the industrial revolution, the foundation is not enough, and the country is still sixty or seventy percent illiterate peasants, coupled with the domestic political turmoil in Spain in recent years, the internal strife is serious, resulting in the complete decline of Spain. But after all, it is not a small European country like the Netherlands, no matter what, as a former superpower and maritime hegemon, shipbuilding capabilities and weapons are not lagging behind, and it is still at the forefront of the world. Therefore, after fighting the Netherlands and Britain in a row, Feng Yunshan actually did not want to fight with Spain immediately, after all, the navy of the Chinese Empire had not yet developed. He originally just wanted to cheat and grab more benefits, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to him late at night, revealing that he could transfer the Philippines to himself! It's unbelievable!

I don't know what to ask myself to help, it must be a difficult thing, after all, the Philippines is a lot of fat.

Feng Yunshan nodded and let him continue.

Seeing that Feng Yunshan was interested, Fernando was overjoyed, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, here's the thing. To tell you the truth, after the death of the previous king of Spain, there were no male heirs, and the throne should have been passed to the legal heir, Don. Prince Carlos, however, was sabotaged by a group of army generals with ulterior motives and capitalists and liberals in Congress, passing on the throne to the current Queen Isabella II of Spain! Mess up the whole of Spain. For this reason, Old Don. The son of Prince Carlos, the current Don. Prince Carlos was worried and had been working to restore Spain to its glory. ”

Hearing this, Feng Yunshan finally understood something, it was nothing more than a cousin who wanted to seize his cousin's throne. However, it seems that it can be used. So, he deliberately said angrily: "So that's the case! Are you out of a man in Spain? Would a woman be put in charge of the country? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty's words are extremely true! To tell you the truth, I obey Tang's orders. Prince Carlos. The prince is now hiding somewhere in the West Indies, and has been secretly preparing military forces to return home, overthrow the rotten rule, and return to control Spain. However, because there were not many people loyal to the prince in the Americas, coupled with financial difficulties, the prince had been preparing for many years, but it was still difficult. Seeing that the desolate queen of the country frequently changed the government team, even the constitution was constantly changing, and relied heavily on the army and the church, so that the power of the entire Bourbon dynasty had completely fallen into the hands of those officers and capital merchants, the prince was anxious. I also feel bad about it. It just so happens that now that Your Majesty's Chinese Empire has risen and there are many soldiers, I am thinking that if Your Majesty can borrow funds to help hire some troops and assist the Prince to ascend to the throne of Spain, not to mention those warships, it will not be difficult for the entire Philippines to be ceded to Your Majesty. After Fernando finished speaking, his eyes stared directly at Feng Yunshan, making Liu Shengbang next to him vigilant.

Feng Yunshan was thinking about it quickly. Although this condition is good, it has no practical effect. After all, it's just empty promises. It seems that even the old Don. Prince Carlos has a lot of power, but now his son, who fled to Central America, probably doesn't have much support. However, it is a great opportunity. Being able to meddle in the affairs of the first generation of the empire on which the sun never sets, if a new Spanish king is really supported, must be of great benefit. Even if it fails, there is not much loss, and it can be used as an excuse to occupy the Philippine archipelago with the cooperation of this Philippine governor, which is worth the investment.

So, Feng Yunshan said directly: "I have the funds, and the mercenaries also have them, but my soldiers, if you go to fight for the throne for your prince, you must pay a high price." How about we sign a secret agreement to cede Luzon to the Chinese Empire, and give your prince a loan of three million sacred dollars and thirty thousand mercenaries? ”

Feng Yunshan had already made up his mind, with a small number of soldiers of the captive army as officers, and recruited some original soldiers from the newly occupied Korea, Vietnam and other places to send them as mercenaries.

Fernando was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that this attempt without great hope would be that the emperor of the East would really agree. That's a huge boost. In fact, he didn't care about the Eastern mercenaries, the main thing was money, and only money could make the prince have more followers and grow his power.

However, Fernando felt that three million dollars was too little, and offered to increase it to five million dollars. Feng Yunshan knew that money could not be compared with the future value of land, so he agreed. The two sides agreed to provide 1,000,000 S$ in advance, and Fernando handed over the island of Baraban and the Sulu Islands in the southwest of the Philippine Islands to the Chinese Empire in the form of a formal agreement.

Both of these places are close to the northeastern part of Borneo, so they are connected as a whole. As long as these two places are firmly occupied, it will be difficult for Spain to hold the Philippines at that time.

The two sides did not disperse to each other's satisfaction until the early hours of the next morning.
