"Wang Aiqing, when he passed through Manila, he left fifty soldiers in Manila. Remember that the Spaniards must not notice this, and that someone will answer you. Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"No." Regarding Zhu Youxiao's order, although Wang Mengxiong was very curious, he didn't dare to ask.

"And these fifty soldiers must be elite generals and people who can lead the troops to fight." Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"No."

……

In this era, if you set off from Yuegang, Fujian, and travel with the wind, it will take about 15 to 20 days to arrive in the Philippines. The Ming mission arrived in Manila in early April.

Sebastian? Hurtado was a racist who did not welcome the Ming mission, but only because of the interests of Spain that he allowed the Ming mission to dock in Manila. However, he did not allow the Ming mission to enter the city of Manila, and only allowed the Ming mission to use the port for supplies.

The Spaniards are very wary of the Chinese, since the Chinese have a huge wealth in the Philippines, the Spaniards have forbidden the Chinese to enter the city of Manila, after the massacre of 1603, in order to eliminate the Chinese wariness, the Chinese were allowed to enter the city of Manila, but in Sebastian? After Hurtado became governor of the Philippines, the Chinese were again forbidden to enter the royal city.

"The Spaniards deceive people too much, no wonder Your Majesty wants to do something to Manila." Lin Jiuguan complained.

"Manila is a choke point, whether the empire goes to Leng Chau or Europa, it must enter this place, Manila is controlled by others, like a big knife on the neck of the empire, once Leng Zhou has something to do, controlling Manila can cut off the connection between Leng Zhou and the empire." Xi Qingfan said.

"On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore. When I came to Manila, I learned about His Majesty's painstaking efforts. Lin Jiuguan sighed.

"Foreman Fu, I don't know when someone will arrive? The Governor General of the Philippines only allowed us to stay in Manila for three days. Li Hailong asked softly.

"He's on the ship, you'll see him soon." Fu Xianglin said softly.

Fu Xianglin is a eunuch and a secret agent of the East Factory in Nanyang, and his position is the foreman of the East Factory, in charge of all the East Factory spies in the Philippines. The reason why a eunuch was appointed over is because in this era, according to the understanding of the people, the eunuch is the emperor's house slave, who can represent the emperor better than others and gain the trust of the Chinese in the Nanyang area.

"My lord, the head of the stall is here." At this moment, a voice came from the door.

"Let him in." Fu Xianglin said.

A chubby man in his thirties soon appeared at the door, this man must be Zhu Youxiao's appearance, he walked into the room before saluting: "See Master Fu." ”

"Excuse me, this is Ambassador Li Hailong, this ......" Fu Xianglin first introduced them one by one.

After a brief greeting between the two parties, the topic cut to the point.

"My lord, where is the goods?" Rong Guan asked.

"It's on this ship, but how are you going to get to Balian? The Spaniards seemed to be wary of us. Li Hailong asked.

"I'll leave this to me, I'm the biggest sugar merchant in Balian, I have a batch of goods to be delivered to Balian early tomorrow morning, and I will be able to send this batch of goods to Balian together at that time." I'll send someone to take the cargo away tonight. Rong Guan said.

"That's good, I'm worried about how to deliver the goods to Balian?" Li Hailong said happily.

"Is this shipment for the purpose of making the Eight Links an incident?" Lin Jiuguan couldn't help but ask.

Rong Guan did not answer Lin Jiuguan's words, but glanced at Fu Xianglin. Fu Xianglin nodded and did not speak.

Rong Guan then said: "Is it for self-preservation, since Sebastian? After Hurtado became the governor of the Philippines, he implemented a high-pressure policy on the Chinese of the Philippines, extorted and extorted Chinese local , and the tax revenue increased several times compared with before Chinese. Hurtado was unimpressed, and even took more drastic measures, the local Chinese were afraid of the tragedy of 1603, but His Majesty Shengming, willing to support the local Chinese, sent this batch of weapons from the empire. ”

"But even if you have weapons, you will not be able to withstand the Spanish army without effective training, and will only invite more bloody retaliation from the Spaniards." Lin Hailong said.

Rong Guan smiled when he heard Lin Hailong's words, Lin Hailong's words had already involved the next plan, but the plan had not yet been implemented, and it was really inconvenient for him to answer.

"Rong Guan, you go down first, this batch of goods is very important, there must be no mistakes, otherwise, it will not only arouse the vigilance of the Spaniards, but even cause the Spaniards to retaliate." Fu Xianglin said.

"Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll arrange for manpower first." Rong looked at the head.

After seeing Rong Guan leaving, Fu Xianglin said: "Lord Lin, after you deliver this batch of goods, even if the task is completed, the less you know about other things, the better, if you accidentally leak the news, you and I can't afford it." The water in this area of Nanyang is very deep, and some people just criticize the skin of the Chinese, but they are all towards the Westerners in their bones, and in the words of His Majesty, they are traitors, so they must be cautious in their words and deeds. If you say too much, you will lose! ”

"Master Fu's words, we naturally know that we will never do anything to betray the country." Lin Hailong said.

"I will get off the ship in Batavia, you still have to go to the Western Ocean, today's matter must be rotten in the stomach, if the slightest rumor leaks and is found out by Your Majesty, Your Majesty's treatment of traitors must be bone-drawn. Even if it's unintentional. Fu Xianglin reminded.

"We naturally understand that Master Fu has a lot of subordinates, so we should pay attention." Lin Jiuguan said coldly.

"Hey! I've been floating on the sea for a few years, and I still can't sleep well on the boat. I'm going to go and rest first, and I have things to do in the evening. After Fu Xianglin finished speaking, he got up and left the room.

"Brother Jiuguan, don't mind. What Foreman Fu said is not unreasonable; if the slightest rumor of this matter is leaked, if nothing else, it will be said that the more than 20,000 Chinese in Luzon will absolutely not escape. Xi Qingfan persuaded.

"Yes! This part of the South Seas is not in the hands of the Empire, doing things here is extremely dangerous, you must be extremely careful, and be careful in order to sail the ship of ten thousand years! Lin Hailong said.

……

Rongguan's cargo ship docked next to the ships of the Ming Mission. At the end of the day, Rongguan brought a group of cronies and members of the mission to move all the weapons and equipment to Rongguan's cargo ship for nearly two hours. Although the Spaniards were extremely wary of the Chinese, they did not expect that the Ming would use the mission's ships to transport weapons and equipment.
