Of course, for the Spaniards, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that they not only lost themselves to the Chinese, but also sent more Filipino natives together.

They are all valuables bought with money, once they die and are known by those tribes, will those tribes trouble them or will they go to trouble the Ming army?

How the Spaniards managed to colonize the Philippines in the first place, they know very well.

After this war, the Spanish decades of military accumulation were destroyed, and in the Philippines they had completely lost all advantages, and the few hundred remaining soldiers were cowering in the Governor's Palace in Manila, desperately waiting for death to come.

The thing they regret the most is that they provoked the Chinese when they shouldn't have provoked the Chinese, and those main battle factions were the culprits who killed them, but they were powerless, powerless in all senses, because those main battle factions had all died and were killed by Xiao Ruxun.

The only five remaining warships did not know where they had fled, and it was impossible to give them much hope with a few hundred people, and the remaining hundreds of people were trapped in the governor's palace in Manila, and they no longer had any will to fight, looking at the west in despair, waiting for the appearance of the Ming army.

The governor was cured, but after learning the news of the defeat, he fell ill again, and was frightened twice in a row, and everyone thought that the governor was dying.

However, the governor did not fall, but dragged his sick body to the last meeting, and made the decision to give up resistance, surrender to Xiao Ruxun, and accept all conditions.

No one objected, and in fact, there would be no more.

On November 10, Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Manila, where the Philippine governor surrendered and led the remaining hundreds of people out of the city to surrender, presenting all the identity certificates of the Philippine governor and begging for Xiao Ruxun's forgiveness and mercy.

Bishop Alexander shrank back in Manila with more than 200 missionaries, without the protection of the army, and the missionaries were very uneasy, and did not dare to preach around as before.

To put it bluntly, the Catholics would not be able to stand without the support of Spanish force.

Two of the missionaries spoke Chinese, so they came out to act as interpreters to let Xiao Ruxun know what the governor had said.

After listening to the translation, Xiao Ruxun squinted his eyes and looked at the sick governor.

"Say let me forgive you? But what about the hundreds of soldiers who died in battle? This battle was originally not necessary, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more soldiers are killed in the battle, isn't it your fault? Do you need me to forgive you? ”

The Governor's face turned pale.

"General Xiao, we don't have any force anymore, and we don't plan to use any means of force, the previous things were all stupid things made in private by some people who opposed my decision, and it has nothing to do with me and all of us here, we are all resolutely against this war, especially the archbishop, he is even more opposed! It was those stupid officers who privately decided that they wanted to fight you! ”

The governor not only explained himself, but also called Bishop Alexander, who had a good relationship with Xiao Ruxun before, and the two begged for mercy together.

Bishop Alexander naturally knew his current situation, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, General Xiao, we tried our best to stop it, but they launched a mutiny and held us hostage, we have no way to stop them, we can only passively stay here, we are really very difficult!" ”

In order to survive, Bishop Alexander also talked nonsense, but I have to say that this is indeed a very good way, throwing the pot to the dead, Xiao Ruxun can't fish the dead people from the bottom of the sea and ask them whether this situation is true or false.

Xiao Ruxun simply didn't have the idea of killing them, otherwise he would have ordered a killing campaign at this time.

"I will not kill you, I accept your surrender, but you must first show your submission to the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and give me eighty percent of the local spice trade in Luzon and eighty percent of the minerals you mine every year, instead of handing it over to your untouchable king."

Xiao Ruxun's condition made everyone who understood stunned for a while.

They understood their situation in an instant.

Is this any different from betraying the king?

The governor thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of the difference, Spain was at war, and needed the spice trade and mineral production to support the war, otherwise the country would go bankrupt, and the Philippines was a very important economic source, otherwise it would not be named after the king.

And now eighty percent of the income will go to Xiao Ruxun, so the remaining twenty percent is enough for them to maintain their own needs, and can they give a penny to Spain to support the war? The war in Spain cannot be sustained, the hegemony cannot be sustained, will they become sinners?

The governor looked at Xiao Ruxun very painfully.

"You have to think about it, you hundreds, if you don't accept my conditions, don't say that I will kill you, even if I leave here and don't pursue you, those natives have lost so many people, will it be so simple not to investigate?

Your contradictions are not small, in the past they did not dare to clash with you head-on because of your strength and weapons, but now you have no troops, you have become so weak, guess, will they come to take revenge? ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at the governor and the officials around him playfully, and these officials were crying and sad as if they had eaten stool, or looked at the governor, or looked at each other, and then without exception they all lowered their heads and kept silent.

It's so bad, nothing so bad has ever happened, they have to be forced to become sinners of the country, to become a group of people who can't defend the interests of the country, but still have to give up the interests of the country.

Even the interpreting missionaries bowed their heads in embarrassment.

But I have to say that Xiao Ruxun's proposal is reasonable, and the contradiction between them and the indigenous Filipinos is still quite big, although there are tribes who are willing to cooperate, there are always those who are unwilling to cooperate.

Over the years, they have colluded with those cooperating tribes to cooperate with each other, and they know very well how many natives they have killed and how many lives they have on their hands.

They also know how much those who are pitted hate them.

There will be no reinforcements in the country now, but there are Xiao Ruxun's male soldiers in front of him, if they don't accept it, don't say whether they will be killed by him, just say that those cunning and greedy natives will let them go? They have limited ammunition and limited manpower, but Manila is very attractive because of its vast reserves and wealth.

They can't escape death, and if they refuse Xiao Ruxun, they won't have any way to live.

Any sane person has the right thing to do in the best interests of the person at this moment.

As a result, the Philippines has actually changed its surname to Xiao.
