I have to say that Zhang Zhijie's words are very tempting, even Alfonso has to admit that Daming is the overlord of the East, even compared with the Western powers, it is not inferior, and more importantly, compared to the West, which is thousands of miles away from the East, Daming is in the East.

Now Da Ming is like an ancient beast, awakening from its slumber, revealing its hideous fangs. And if the Kingdom of Portugal wants to gain a foothold in the East and safeguard its interests in the East, it is undoubtedly excellent if it can obtain the friendship of the Ming Dynasty and conclude an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, they will not be afraid of the challenges of Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other countries. It was also extremely advantageous for Alfonso himself, and if he could gain the friendship of the young Ming governor, it would also be extremely beneficial to stabilize his position as the governor of India.

After some thought, Alfonso let out a long breath and said, "I am more than happy to have your friendship!" It will be a great honor for me! ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this: "So? For our friendship? ”

Alfonso also smiled: "For our friendship!" ”

Zhang Zhijie motioned for Magnolia to take the paper, Alfonso wrote it on the paper now, confirmed by the translator, and then translated it and wrote it again, Zhang Zhijie put Alfonso's IOU away with satisfaction.

"Come on, serve the wine!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

Zhang Zhijie and Alfonso toasted together, Zhang Zhijie smiled: "For friendship, for the stability of the East, cheers!" ”

Alfonso also smiled when he heard this: "For our friendship, for the stability of the East, cheers!" ”

The two looked at each other and drank with a smile, Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Governor Alfonso, that, silver and spices。。。。。。 ”

Alfonso laughed, "Your Excellency, I will go back and collect silver and spices, and I will send them to the Governor in the near future." ”

Zhang Zhijie also smiled knowingly: "Governor Alfonso rest assured, your department has always lived very comfortably in Quanzhou, and I will take them to meet with Governor Alfonso's fleet when the time comes!" ”

If Raphael and they heard this, they would be dumbfounded, they lived very comfortably in Quanzhou? How thick does it take to say such a thing?

But Alfonso didn't care, whether it was comfortable or uneasy, as long as the person was still alive! Alfonso bid farewell to Zhang Zhijie and led the fleet back to Manraka.

Zhang Zhijie's boat also began to return to the fleet, Feng Haisheng, Chang Yun and others boarded Zhang Zhijie's boat, and said with concern: "How are you, Lord Admiral?" You okay? ”

Zhang Zhijie laughed and said, "What can this governor do?" Magnolia was very speechless on the side, this time the Admiral knocked the bamboo bar really hard! I don't know how the Admiral's words worked so well, and he actually frightened the Governor Alfonso into a daze.

What is even more unbelievable is that the governor of Alfonso was knocked out of 400,000 taels of silver, two boatloads of spices, and an IOU of 200,000 taels of silver by the Admiral, and he was very happy in the end!

After hearing the general situation of Lord Admiral, Feng Haisheng and the others couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Four hundred thousand taels of silver!" Two boatloads of spices will cost at least 400,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 taels of IOUs, which is a million taels of silver! ”

Magnolia then understood, it turned out that what the Admiral said about a boatload of spices was only worth 100,000 taels in Daming, it was a fake at all! Lord Admiral is really capable of, the key is that Governor Alfonso really believes it!

But not only the million taels of silver, but also the nine captured warships, and the firearms! Chang Yun suddenly thought of a question when he thought of this, and said with some apprehension: "Lord Admiral, those nine warships and arquebuses?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Governor only promised to return the people to Portugal, and the Governor will not return the warships and firearms to them!" Ben wants to get a few more ships from them! I didn't expect them to slam the door very much! ”

Chang Yun was relieved at this time, they all admired the Admiral one by one, these two naval battles were really profitable! More importantly, the fleet of sailors has not yet lost anything.

After returning to Quanzhou Port, Zhang Zhijie saw at a glance the Portuguese prisoners who were struggling to carry sacks. Zhang Zhijie came straight to them and said with a smile: "Raphael, congratulations, you are about to be free!" ”

Raphael was already on the verge of despair, but now when he suddenly heard the good news, his whole body trembled with excitement. Raphael, with disbelief in ecstasy, stammered, "Really, really? Are we really going to be free? ”

He was really afraid that he had heard it wrong, because he really couldn't stand this miserable life anymore, and he felt that he was about to lose it.

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, the Governor has just returned from the sea and met with Governor Alfonso, and he promised to ransom you with enough ransom!" Just come with the ransom you promised, and Ben will release you! ”

At this moment, Raphael and the captives around him all burst into tears, and Raphael trembled: "God praise you, dear Governor, for not abandoning us!" I am willing to follow you with my life! ”

At this moment, they had an unparalleled admiration and gratitude for Alfonso, but the kindness of Governor Alfonso was a matter for the future, and now they were most concerned about their life at the moment.

Raphael said, "Your Excellency, since Governor Alfonso is about to pay the ransom, are we?" You see, we can't eat enough now。。。。。。 Raphael couldn't help but choke up at the end.

Zhang Zhi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, you can't let you go hungry!" After that, he instructed the soldiers next to him: "Let them eat more in the future, you see that they have no strength to work now!" Let them have enough to eat and do a lot of work! I'm about to let go, and I haven't done much work yet! ”

The soldiers next to them hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and they immediately grasped the key point and let them work more! Let them work more! Let them work more!

Raphael was pleasantly surprised when he heard the reply of the Ming governor, and the days of suffering were finally over! Finally, I don't have to endure hardships!

After Zhang Zhijie left, they sat on the ground one by one, but before they could take a few breaths, a whip followed. Raphael and the others were stunned for a moment, obviously the governor had already agreed just now, why did they still smoke them?

Fortunately, the translator hadn't left yet, and translated Zhang Zhijie's words just now, and Raphael and the others immediately cried, it turned out that the days of suffering had to continue!
