Chapter 1108: Oolong
The 100 men who went out to sea were either captured or killed in battle, and more than 100 men were lost in the attack on Manila, and their four ships with a total of 500 men arrived on Luzon, and now more than half of them have been lost!
What made them most depressed was that they didn't lose many people in capturing and conquering this island, but they let the Portuguese who came out of nowhere beat so many of them!
Damn the Portuguese! These Spaniards cursed and slaughtered the whole village to vent their anger! In fact, it is not only to vent anger, but also the fear in their hearts.
Although they sailed to the East in search of the Spice Islands, which were occupied by the Portuguese, and were mentally prepared to meet the Portuguese, they imagined meeting the Portuguese ships at sea.
They were not afraid to encounter Portuguese ships at sea, they could even fight if they were of a similar force, and they could retreat calmly if there was a disparity in strength.
But I didn't expect them to be blocked on this island, and face the Portuguese with superior forces! They have lost their ships and have no way out.
Although the natives who slaughtered the village were cathartic, the fear did not dissipate because of the catharsis, and still grew in their hearts. After eating the food, the Spaniards gathered together in despair and began to discuss.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss, and now there is no other choice, either die or surrender to the Portuguese! Although they were extremely reluctant to surrender, they were even more reluctant to die on this island. Eventually, they chose a Portuguese speaker to be their emissary to talk to the Portuguese.
Although Zhang Zhijie did not pursue the Spaniards, two or three hundred Spaniards fled all the way and could not hide their whereabouts at all, so Zhang Zhijie soon received news from the Spaniards that it was time to completely eliminate them.
Just when Zhang Zhijie was preparing to fight, a Spaniard cautiously came to Manila City! Just when he came to a place not far from the city gate, he met a Luzon people, who suddenly saw this blond and blue-eyed foreigner who suddenly appeared, and immediately screamed in fright.
"The foreigners have been killed! The foreigners have been killed! The people ran in fear and screamed loudly into the city, which really frightened countless people in the city. Even the soldiers guarding the city were startled, and hurriedly climbed the tower to take a look, and a lonely foreigner outside cautiously approached the direction of the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city looked into the distance, and did not find the ambush in the distance, only this lonely foreigner, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but be very speechless, is it a fuss about this foreigner?
After the people entered the city, there was a wolf howl, which quickly caused panic, and even Zhang Zhijie, who was in the palace, was alarmed. When Zhang Zhijie heard that the foreigners were calling again, he was not surprised and rejoiced, so that there would be no need to go on an expedition.
Zhang Zhijie rushed to the palace gate with his personal guards, and saw a hundred households with more than a dozen people escorting a blonde foreigner.
Zhang Zhijie said a little strangely: "Hey, didn't you say that the Spaniards came to kill you?" How did you catch a foreigner? ”
The hundred households hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "My lord, no foreigners have killed them, only this one foreigner appeared outside the city gate, and the people were scared enough to see it, and they thought that the foreigners had killed them, and the city was just a rumor!" ”
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, these poor Luzon people didn't know how many sins they had suffered, and they were scared like this by a foreigner.
At this time, the foreigner began to chatter, Zhang Zhijie and the guards could only be at a loss, who could understand this kind of chirping bird language?
Not only is Zhang Zhijie at a loss, but this Spaniard is even more at a loss, what the hell is this? What about the Portuguese? Why are they all Orientals? The people who defend the city with arquebuses are also Orientals, and not a single Westerner has seen it! The people who lived in the royal palace must have been important people, why were they also Orientals?
This foreigner suddenly appeared outside the city, and it was certainly not separated from the Spaniards, the only possibility was that this man must have come to surrender, or to negotiate on behalf of the Spaniards.
Zhang Zhijie could only say helplessly: "Bring him in and find all those translators!" ”
Magnolia said in a deep voice: "My lord, those translators can only speak Portuguese and Japanese, and no one can speak Spanish." ”
Zhang Zhijie waved his hand and said: "Whatever, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, if it doesn't work, he will be locked up and brought back with those captured Spaniards to be coolies, and see if anyone will redeem them in the future." ”
Zhang Zhijie tasted the sweetness of the captive, to see if he could extort a sum of money from the Spaniards, I heard that the Spaniards were richer than the Portuguese, but the Kingdom of Spain was more powerful and unruly than the Kingdom of Portugal.
However, Zhang Zhijie's dead horse as a live horse doctor really took effect, because this Spaniard knows Portuguese. So when he said something out loud in Spanish, no one understood, but when the Portuguese interpreter weakly asked in Portuguese, the Spaniard was ecstatic!
"Oh God, I finally understand, I, a Spaniard, from the great Kingdom of Spain, am a member of the Spanish Armada. What about the Portuguese? I want to meet the Portuguese! ”
The interpreter hurriedly translated: "Lord Admiral, he is indeed a Spaniard, and he asked the Portuguese?" He said he wanted to meet the Portuguese! ”
Zhang Zhijie frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's a Spaniard, but why is he looking for a Portuguese?" The Portuguese are still in Manraka! ”
"We are going to surrender like the Portuguese! I guess it's just a misunderstanding! We're not here to be enemies of the Portuguese! ”
To tell the truth, Zhang Zhijie was a little confused when he heard it, why did these Spaniards surrender to the Portuguese? Are these Spaniards brains funny? If you want to surrender, you should surrender to Daming! Zhang Zhijie did not expect that these Spaniards took it for granted that the Portuguese had defeated them.
Zhang Zhijie said angrily: "What surrendered to the Portuguese? Tell him that if he doesn't surrender to the Doge, he will lead an army to kill them all!" ”
The translator quickly translated the words into Portuguese, and the Spaniard opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "What? Didn't the Portuguese defeat us? It was you Easterners who defeated us? ”
Zhang Zhijie laughed angrily when he heard this, how can there be Portuguese, if the Portuguese dare to come to Luzon, they will still fight and they will not be able to find the north! It's funny that these grandsons thought it was the Portuguese who had defeated them!
