I wanted to pull Spain to deter the Governor of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect the Governor of the Ming Dynasty to have already made contact with Spain, which made Fernand's plan completely frustrated.

It's not just a failure, it's an unprecedented crisis for Portugal. Spain and their Kingdom of Portugal were already robbing the colonies all over the world. The Spaniards have coveted the Spice Islands for a long time, and indeed all the Western Kingdoms covet them.

Therefore, Fernand was not surprised that Spain sent a fleet to the East to explore, but if the Ming and Spain cooperated, it would definitely be a huge blow to their Portuguese kingdom.

Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "You go back and tell your marshal to immediately release the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, promise to withdraw from Manchuria, and this governor can allow you to redeem your prisoners!" In the future, the Governor will only welcome merchant ships that come to do business! ”

"If you don't want to fight again, the Ming Dynasty will accompany you to the end!"

Fernand left Laiyuanyi with a pale face, and this time he came to negotiate unexpectedly. The situation was more troublesome than he expected, and Fernand's heart was very heavy.

As he walked pretentiously, he was confronted by several people, among whom was a blonde man walking in the middle, who immediately caught Fernand's attention, and the man smiled at Fernand and passed by Fernand.

Fernand couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he saw the man, although Admiral Daming mentioned that the Spaniards were here as guests just now, Fernand was actually a little skeptical, but at this moment he completely believed it. Damn the Spaniards really came to the East, and to the Ming Dynasty!

This blonde and blue-eyed foreigner is Magellan, which was deliberately arranged by Zhang Zhijie, that is, to let Fernand see that there are Spaniards. And Zhang Zhijie's arrangement really played a great role, and Fernand believed it all at once.

Countless warships are moored in Quanzhou Port, some of which have been renovated and some are still under repair. But the speed of this repair is beyond their reach.

Especially seeing that the warships that originally belonged to their Portuguese kingdom had been renovated, Fernand's mood became heavier and heavier. There is no doubt that the Ming fleet will be integrated soon, and it will be full of troops when the time comes!

Thinking of this, Fernand couldn't help but curse the Spaniards again, his ship left Quanzhou and headed for Mangara, and Fernand never stopped cursing the Spaniards on the way! He felt that things had become so bad that the damned Spaniards were to blame a lot!

It was the Spaniards who informed the governor of the Ming Dynasty of the size of their Portuguese kingdom fleet, and united with the Ming Dynasty, which gave the Ming confidence and put forward so many harsh requirements like a lion's mouth.

The Portuguese marshal was in Manraka and directed his soldiers to repair the warship while anxiously awaiting news from Fernand. When Fernand returned, seeing Fernand's heavy face, the Portuguese marshal immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart.

A group of generals gathered in the hall, and the Portuguese marshal said in a deep voice: "What did the Ming governor say? Were there any conditions that were promised to us? ”

How could it be possible to say yes?! Fernand said with a heavy face: "The governor of Daming did not accept the conditions we proposed, but put forward even more demanding requirements!" ”

The Portuguese marshal asked in a deep voice: "Demanding requirements? What are the requirements? ”

Fernand took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ask us to immediately and unconditionally release the seized merchant ships, and allow us to ransom the captured soldiers, each soldier for a thousand taels of silver!" ”

As soon as he said this, the Portuguese marshal interrupted Fernand and shouted: "A thousand taels of silver for each soldier? No, it's impossible! We unconditionally release the seized merchant ships, and they must also unconditionally release our captured soldiers! This must not be compromised! ”

Fernand couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the marshal's excited words, this request of the Governor of the Ming Dynasty is just the beginning, and it is the lowest requirement, and the later requirements are more and more harsh than the other, he hasn't said it yet!

Seeing Fernand smiling bitterly, the Portuguese marshal couldn't help but reprimand: "Fernand, didn't you refute such an unreasonable request from the Ming people?" You can't be weak, you can't let him see your weakness, you have to tell them that this fleet is only a part of the vast fleet of our kingdom! You have to refute this unreasonable demand with righteous words! ”

Hearing this, Fernand smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, this is actually only one of the requirements, and it is not a harsh request!" ”

Listening to Fernand's words, the Portuguese marshal said with a gloomy face: "You say, what other harsh requirements are there?" ”

Fernand said in a deep voice: "The governor of the Ming Dynasty resolutely refuses to return our warships!" ”

Warships were the lifeblood of the Kingdom of Portugal, and they were the tools they relied on to maintain their vast colonization. They can continue to reap great benefits only if they have a large fleet.

The Portuguese marshal said angrily: "Shameless! Shameless! This was supposed to be the warship of our Kingdom of Portugal! This request must not be granted to them! ”

Fernand's face was very heavy and he wanted to speak, but this request of the Portuguese marshal was not unexpected, after all, the governor of the Ming Dynasty had already done this kind of thing, and Alfonso was a lesson from the past.

This is exactly what the Portuguese marshal feared, and it was because of fear that when the real fulfillment was realized, the Portuguese marshal was so hysterical. At this time, seeing Fernand's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the Portuguese marshal restrained his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the governor of the Ming Dynasty has more demanding requirements?" ”

Fernand said with some difficulty: "The Governor of the Ming Dynasty has asked our Kingdom of Portugal to withdraw from Manchuria!" "There is no doubt that this is the most demanding of them all, and it is also the most unacceptable of them.

Originally, the rest of the generals were a little commotion, but in view of the fact that His Excellency the Marshal was questioning, they restrained themselves, and now when they heard the last request, they really couldn't restrain themselves, and the hall suddenly became noisy.

Unexpectedly, things were so bad that all the unwanted demands were put forward, and the Portuguese marshal said in a deep voice: "This is the result of your negotiations?" Didn't you refute the same? Won't you bluff? ”

Fernand's face was very ugly and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, the problem is not me, the problem is that the Governor of the Ming Dynasty has already figured out the size of our fleet very clearly!" ”
