Nan Hai, Fei Ribin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once upon a time, this place was famous for Luzon, Mayi, Sulu, and Hulo.

But since 1565, Cebu Island was occupied by the Spanish in Mexico. The name of the Philippines, along with the rule of the Spaniards, is deeply rooted in this land.

And Manila City, because of Manila Bay, has naturally become the most important port in the Philippines, and it has also become a city that the Spaniards focus on.

Over the past two hundred years, Manila has been divided into an inner city and an outer city. Wine shops, standing on the street. There are more than 1,000 households, and it is beginning to take shape.

At this time, the building was prosperous.

This is a Chinese-run restaurant. After experiencing a large-scale migration of Chinese to the Ming Dynasty, there are few Chinese in Manila City, let alone a restaurant.

It's time for dinner, but there aren't many customers in the restaurant. It was loose and loose, not even half of the seats were filled.

The guys were also happy, three or five of them got together, talking about meat and jokes, hehe, hehe, laughing.

But the shopkeeper didn't seem to care. Sitting at the counter, holding an account book, I flipped through it very carefully.

But from time to time, his eyes moved out of the book, and he looked at the only white person in the store.

I saw the man sitting in the corner against the wall, silently drinking Daming's Artemisia annua wine.

This is a kind of medicinal liquor, take fresh artemisia, glutinous rice and koji in moderation. It can clear away heat heat, intercept malaria, and reduce deficiency fever.

The South Seas region is humid and hot, and there are many mosquitoes. Malaria is the most prevalent disease in the region. The average indigenous person is used to it and can adapt to it. But Europeans from outside are very easy to be recruited.

Therefore, Daming launched this medicinal wine in a targeted manner.

And on the taste, we have done a lot of work.

For example, the alcohol content is deliberately increased, which is biased towards the spicy taste of liquor, which is in line with the drinking habits of Chinese people.

Or introduce the sweetness and sourness of red wine and make it meet the drinking requirements of Europeans.

After all, in the Nanyang region outside the rule of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Europeans who have a little spare money, the natives are all very poor. Even if you want to buy it, you can't afford it.

As a result, this kind of life-saving and delicious medicinal wine became popular as soon as it was launched.

Not only Nanyang, but also Yunnan-Guizhou and Guangzhou-Guangdong regions in the Qing Dynasty, Siam and Myanmar in Southeast Asia, Mexico and Brazil in the Americas, are all bestsellers.

In restaurants that focus on Chinese cuisine, there are very few white people who patronize them.

Of course, this is not the only reason why he pays so much attention to this person!

At this time, the white man drank another jar and said loudly: "Come again!" ”。

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately got up. He snatched the jar from the man's hand and delivered it to the white man himself.

"Guest, your wine. The shop is the only one that has this last jar. ”。 He cautioned. Spanish is spoken.

This is the territory of the Spaniards, and of course Spanish is spoken. If you have to do something on a regular basis, you will inevitably deal with the Spaniards. Therefore, the Chinese or indigenous people in Manila City can speak a few words of Spanish to a greater or lesser extent.

The white man didn't raise his eyes, and took the wine jar with his hand.

When the stopper is opened, a rushing smell of alcohol spreads.

This is Artemisia annua wine that is biased towards the Chinese, not the sweet and sour taste that Europeans like. Because Spain prohibits the entry of Ming goods, there is no supply in the restaurant. I had no choice but to take this instead.

The shopkeeper stood aside, a little cramped and uneasy.

On the borders of Manila, white people are always superior. Even if you kill the aborigines or Chinese, you will not be severely punished.

So he was afraid that the white man would get angry and cause unnecessary trouble.

But he thought too much!

The white man took a few sips of the wine jar very proudly, and did not show an unswerving expression.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to leave, the white man said, "What kind of shou wu do you sell in this shop?" ”。

Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes blood, nourishes yin, moistens and laxatives.

How can this restaurant sell such things?

The shopkeeper's face immediately flashed unnatural, and he smiled and said: "Go out and turn right twenty meters, Li's Pharmacy has its own sale." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the two looked at each other for two seconds.

After a while, the white man looked away first. Leave the money and leave.

Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper also said hello to the guys, asked them to take care of the business, and went out with them.

A quarter of an hour later, in the pharmacy of Lee's Pharmacy.

Tall wooden cabinets lean against the walls and contain a wide variety of herbs. The choking smell of medicine spreads, and ordinary people stay for a long time, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable.

It looks no different from a regular pharmacy!

But in fact, there is a small two-meter-high door on the wall behind the wooden cabinet. Inside, there is a secret room.

At the moment, the white diner and the restaurant keeper are sitting firmly in the chair. Smelling the strong smell of herbs, his expression was indifferent, as if he was completely unaffected.

"I'm going to enter the Governor's Palace, what good can you do?" , the white man asked directly. He is Li Luo, an excellent agent of the Ming Dynasty, codenamed Chiyan.

Originally, he had been in charge of the affairs of the Indian side, but after the accident on the Philippine side, Zhang Yang sent him here.

As soon as he arrived in Manila today, he found the hidden stake that Daming had laid in ambush.

The shopkeeper pondered silently for a while, and said, "The Spanish governor in the Philippines is extremely sorry for his life. His governor's palace is not so easy to enter. ”。

He was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. After Shan Xinyi accepted the solicitation of the Ming Dynasty. The original helmsman has also become the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society.

And with the cooperation of Shan Xinyi, the forces of the Heaven and Earth Society in the Nanyang region were almost wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.

Those who surrender are incorporated into the forces of Shan Xinyi, and those who are stubborn can only be laborers for the rest of their lives.

Nowadays, in the Nanyang region, the Heaven and Earth Society of Shan Xinyi is orthodox.

A small person like him can also see the situation clearly. The Heaven and Earth Society, which knows Shan Xinyi, is just a name. In fact, it has inevitably become part of the Intelligence Division.

So he got on the ship of Daming with all his heart.

Now it remains, and it is also the orders of the Intelligence Division.

He looked at Li Luo carefully for a while, with dark blue pupils, short brown hair, and wheat-colored skin. The facial features are profound, handsome and extraordinary.

The shopkeeper was sure in his heart, and continued: "However, it is not impossible. I heard that the Governor of the Philippines has a broken sleeve! ”。

As he said this, he cautiously observed Li Luo's expression.

After all, when ordinary people hear this, they will subconsciously feel disgust and disgust.

But Li Luo didn't even move his eyelids, so he agreed, and instructed: "You go and arrange it!" In two days, I'm going to be in the Doge's Palace! ”。

Before becoming an excellent agent, Li Luo's training was perverted, perverted, and cruel. A small matter like this kind of dedication is nothing.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and said yes again and again.

He was sure that this person must be the number one agent in the Intelligence Division.

Because I only have loyalty to Daming in my heart, I agreed so easily!
