Chapter Ninety-Six: Harvest, Central Luzon Islands!

"Of course, it's an honor to be able to attend such a gathering." Liang Pengfei smiled politely.

Blanche's eyes bent into two strings: "Then I will assume that you agree, by the way, in addition to this matter, there is also something about my husband, I don't know Mr. Liang, why did you detain my husband and those officials?" ”

"It's not that I'm imprisoned, it's just that my men may have mistaken it, in fact, I just hope that they can discuss it together and make a compensation that satisfies me, since you know my name, you must also understand what happened to me, if I am not the victor, perhaps, now Marani has become a boiling ocean, cheer for your hero, Colonel Alfonso." As soon as he mentioned this, the corners of Liang Pengfei's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of mockery.

"Of course, I can understand, I just wanted to come over and find out how my husband is doing, and since you have told me that he is safe, I am relieved, then, in order to prepare for the dance in two days, I have to deal with some things as soon as possible, and I hope to see you when the time comes." Mrs. Blanche stood up and walked gracefully as if she were dancing ballet.

"Of course, when the time comes, I will definitely invite you to dance the first dance, I don't know if you can enjoy your face." Liang Pengfei stepped forward, held Mrs. Blanche's hand, and gave a gentlemanly kiss, but the moment he let go of his hand, Mrs. Blanche's tail finger didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to scrape Liang Pengfei's palm, bringing a tingling trace.

Liang Pengfei couldn't help but whistle lightly when he saw the silky eyes of Mrs. Blanche when she turned around, as well as the back that looked like a perfect vase. "Your grandma's, the best......" His own boy chicken looks like he is about to lose, Liang Pengfei feels that he has such an awareness and premonition.

Hearing the evaluation of their young master, Bai Shusheng and Monk Chen nodded their heads desperately, in their eyes, this ghost woman is indeed a superb broken shoe.

"Scholar, you ask me what kind of road this governor's wife is, family background or something, and come back to me when the time comes." Liang Pengfei put the cigar to his lips and said lazily.

"Yes, young master, don't worry." Bai Shusheng nodded in obedience.

--------------------

"Now, can we talk about our new conditions?" Liang Pengfei was sitting in the hall of the Spanish Governor's Palace in Manila at the moment, took a glass of red wine handed by Bai Shusheng, and raised his glass to the frightened Spaniards around him, as if he was the master here.

Seeing the blood-red wine, which was almost the same color as blood, several Spanish officials immediately covered their mouths and hurried to the door, vomiting loudly.

The guards standing outside the door looked at the Spanish officials in their ornate robes with disdain and ridicule. Someone even whistled: "Look, these guys aren't much better than." ”

"Nonsense! I think these guys are whiter than the, and who knows that they are less daring than the. One of the guards squinted his eyebrows, causing the others to laugh maniacally.

"These guys, it's really nonsense, monk, let them be quiet for me." Liang Pengfei listened to it and crooked his mouth, but thinking that now was not the time to turn his face, and he had to let these Spains hurry up and get down to business, Young Master Liang straightened his face again, as serious as a parent who would whip his naughty son at any time.

Monk Chen answered the promise and walked to the door, and the subordinates who heard Master Liang's words suddenly straightened their backs one by one, held the musket in their hands steadily, and almost held their breath, outside, except for the vomiting sound that was still continuing, it was so silent that there seemed to be no ghost shadow.

"I need this place, this one, all of it is mine, this is the territory I need for my new conditions." Liang Pengfei drank the red wine in his glass, stood up, used the sword in his hand as a baton, and drew a strange oval circle on the map of Luzon and the surrounding area that had just been hung.

"Are you sure?" Marcelo rubbed his eyes, for fear that he had seen it wrong, and carefully looked at the cunning and wolf-like pirate leader of the Qing Kingdom in front of him, as if he was afraid that he would recognize the wrong person or hear the wrong thing.

"Why, aren't you satisfied with my choice?" Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows, and his unhappy tone echoed in the hall. The raised eyebrows were like two knives dancing in the air, ready to fall on their necks at any moment.

Marcello's head shook into a spinning top that was whipped wildly: "Of course not, absolutely not dissatisfied, I just want to tell Mr. Liang that this area is not under the jurisdiction of our Spanish Luzon colony for the time being." Marcelo carefully poked his finger on the map, which showed the northern part of Mindanao.

"Oh, not yours?" Liang Pengfei blinked his eyes, with a hypocritical surprised expression, like a crappy third-rate actor.

All the Spaniards in the hall nodded desperately, trying to make their expressions look like dead fathers and bereaved mothers, just like the circle that Liang Pengfei drew just now, and pulled their family's yellow flower girl away, leaving only a yellow-faced woman.

In fact, I was so happy in my heart that I just made a fortune in my pocket, but the yellow-faced woman ran away with a happy bachelor with a little white face.

"This Qing pirate seems to be shrewd, but in fact he is a fool." The Spanish present quietly communicated with their eyes.

"Of course, it doesn't belong to us in Spain, although there are a small number of Spanish explorers and troops stationed here, but they really don't belong to us. These islands are part of our Spanish colonies, and we are willing to compensate you if you need them. Marcelo said with a bitter face, although he was about to die of joy, he still could not reveal the joy in his heart, so as to save the pirate from regretting.

"Really? In this way, since it does not belong to you, it will all belong to me from today onwards. Liang Pengfei's voice and expression were greedy like a thug ready to snatch every coin in the bank.

“…… Is it yours? Marcelo opened his mouth, smashed it, and nodded obediently: "Of course it belongs to you, as long as you can occupy it." ”

"That's what I should worry about, it's not your turn, then it's OK, this area, all belong to me, and I've already booked the one below." Liang Pengfei's scabbard slammed into the map, making the cloth map tremble.

"Okay, then may I ask Mr. Liang, can we sign an agreement." Marcelo tried his best not to let the corners of his mouth curl, but he was reciting God's mercy with great pleasure in his heart.

--------------------

The pirate leader of the Qing Kingdom was a complete fool, and he did not understand that the real wealth of the Luzon Islands was the island of Luzon, where there was countless gold and silver, as well as iron ore, of which gold and silver were the most needed materials for the Spanish kingdom.

However, Liang Pengfei chose the islands in the central Luzon archipelago, the islands of Samar, Masbat, Wright, Cebu, and Bohol, as well as the northern part of Mindanao.

Not only is it inhabited by indigenous people, but the environment is harsh, and although the island of Masbate has recently discovered gold, the constant harassment of the indigenous people has caused the Spanish prospecting team to abandon the in-depth investigation.

Now, although it fell into the hands of Liang Pengfei, Governor Marcello didn't care, just the minerals on Luzon Island, even if they were mined for a few hundred years, they couldn't be mined, besides, as long as Liang Pengfei didn't gain a foothold on Luzon, it also made Marcelo and those Spanish officials breathe a sigh of relief, and threw a few barren islands to the pirates of the Qing Kingdom, in exchange for the peace of the colony and those Spanish people, I believe that even the king will understand their good intentions, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the princess is still in his hands, And he has in his hands a fleet no less than a country, such a person, completely offended, is definitely unwise for the Spaniards, who are weak in the South Seas.

Moreover, no one wants to have a killer demon king by his side, in short, this guy can get as far away as possible, and it is best that he can roll to the South Pole.

Liang Pengfei looked at the expressions of these Spaniards, how could they not be clear about their thoughts. However, Liang Pengfei is also happy in his heart, and he is almost unable to find the north. These Spaniards did not understand the importance of the central Luzon archipelago, but Liang Pengfei knew it clearly. What's more, Young Master Liang is not just as simple as occupying a few islands to claim hegemony.

These islands are rich in minerals, iron, coal, gold, copper, chromium, fierce, and the amazing gold mine on Masbat Island is what Liang Pengfei needs the most, as long as he can dig out gold, Liang Pengfei can develop his armed forces and scientific and technological forces at an almost crazy speed, and at the same time, he can have enough funds to recruit troops.

Moreover, Liang Pengfei chose these undeveloped islands in Spain, and there was another consideration, that is, he did not want to completely fall out with these Spaniards for the time being, which also gave both sides a little more room for buffering. Because Liang Pengfei also needs to collect various scientific patented technologies from the West, and at the same time, he also has to import a large number of machinery and equipment. All of this, you can't do it without money, and it doesn't matter if you don't care.

Therefore, Liang Pengfei fought and pulled Spain, so that these people understood that unless Spain transferred the main fleet, they didn't want to have a chance to turn the tables in front of Master Liang, and at the same time, let these guys know that the peaceful coexistence of the two sides can also give the Spaniards more opportunities to make a fortune.
