Ten minutes later, Governor Marcello stood at the door of the Governor's Palace, his hand rubbing his cane, his expression blank, his eyes stiff as he looked at the eleven negotiators sent by the Qing pirates who were walking towards the Governor's Palace, dressed in the uniform of a Spanish naval officer.

"Your Excellency, we're back." The leader took off his military hat and greeted the petrified Governor of Marcello, his haggard face filled with a bitter smile.

"Lieutenant Colonel Juan, you are the negotiator of those Qing pirates?!" Governor Marcello's face turned purple as if he was a patient with severe constipation, his blistered eyes widened to the extreme, and he gritted his teeth word by word.

Although he had heard the guards' report just now, when the facts were in front of him, he still felt extremely unbelievable, and the negotiators sent by the other party were actually the Spanish naval officers who had gone north with Colonel Alfonso to conquer those Qing pirates.

The person standing in front of him with a wry smile was none other than Lieutenant Colonel Juan, the highest-ranking lieutenant colonel after Colonel Alfonso. Behind him, there stood eleven officers who also belonged to the Spanish Navy, except that the former Supreme Commander, Colonel Alfonso, did not appear in this queue.

"Governor, I apologize very much, we have failed, and we have been completely annihilated, and all the soldiers and officers of our Spanish Luzon fleet have become shameful prisoners of war, not only us, but also more than 5,000 pirates, who have become prisoners of war of that Mr. Liang." Sitting in the hall of the Doge's Palace, Lieutenant Colonel Juan took a sip of the black tea brought by the servant, and the wry smile on his face never disappeared, as if it were his trademark.

"How is this possible, is the other party a pirate who is strong enough to be even stronger than a country's fleet?" Major Diego's eyes widened in disbelief.

Major Oscar shook his head, his expression equally bitter as if she had been forced to sit on the stage. "There are only 2,000 people on the other side."

Major Diego, Governor Marcello and the others couldn't help but gasp, Governor Marcello clenched his fists, and his voice became more and more stern: "Are they all invulnerable warriors in myths and legends?" Or are each of them giants capable of firing at you with a cannon? You've got a huge fleet of 10,000 men, and now, what I see is that your ships are intact in the hands of that damned pirate, and you don't have the smoke or scars of the battle on your body. ”

Governor Marcello's vicious gaze swept over the officers of the navy, who were usually as proud as roosters, and his roar echoed through the halls: "Don't tell me that you surrender in fear at the sight of each other. ”

"Absolutely not, Lord Doge, we fell for those damned pirates who attacked us out of the blue......" Lieutenant Colonel Juan rubbed his forehead, recalling the nightmarish course of the day.

Lieutenant Colonel Juan's narration made Governor Marcello and the others fall into a desperate silence, and when he heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the kingdom was actually in the hands of the Qing pirate, Governor Marcelo's expression was completely numb, and he really couldn't understand that Her Royal Highness the respected eldest princess would actually fall into the hands of the Qing pirates.

For what happened to Colonel Alfonso after he was captured, not only did not make Governor Marcello show a sad expression on his face, but gritted his teeth with hatred, and Governor Marcelo wanted him to die immediately.

"As proof, Her Royal Highness the Princess has written a letter in her own hand, asking me to pass it on to you, Your Excellency the Governor." Colonel Juan pulled a letter from his bosom.

After reading the text message, Governor Marcelo sat down in his chair. "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't seem to know that she has become a hostage, perhaps this is also a good thing. However, I will pass on the matter of Her Royal Highness the princess in the hands of the pirates of the Qing Kingdom as soon as possible and report it to His Majesty the King. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Juan tugged at the corners of his mouth, unless the kingdom can send a huge fleet, I am afraid that it will be possible to defeat that Liang Pengfei, but if the fleet is sent to the east, then Spain's maritime military power in Europe must be greatly weakened, I am afraid that this problem Governor Marcello himself is also very clear, so he simply pushed the problem back to the country without saying anything.

"Well, now we can talk about the conditions, Mr. Liang has only a few terms, first, to demand that all the Spaniards on the island lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally, and second, to demand that we compensate them for the great losses they have suffered as a result of the war, in the amount of one million taels of silver, or one hundred thousand Spanish gold coins. Third ......" Lieutenant Colonel Juan took a piece of paper from his bosom and read along.

"Impossible, this is our Spanish colony, how is it possible to surrender to a group of vulgar and cruel pirates? He actually wants me to give 100,000 gold coins, is he crazy, I can't do these two things. Governor Marcello shouted angrily.

“…… If he refuses to surrender, first, the safety of the Spaniards on Luzon will no longer be guaranteed, second, all suspected armed men will be shot, third, they will loot enough indemnity on Luzon themselves, and fourth, the amount of indemnity will be increased tenfold, and if there is not enough indemnity on the island, then all the Spaniards will become his slaves and work for him until all the indemnities are paid......" Lieutenant Colonel Juan continued unhurriedly.

Governor Marcello opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound for a long time, he didn't know whether to laugh at the hateful Qing pirate for being too arrogant, or whether he felt that the other party really had the ability to do all this.

Major Diego licked his dry lips and felt that his mouth was full of bitter taste, and now Marani, like a goddess with a seductive and hot body, has been smashed by the mob The door has been smashed by the mob, carried into the bedroom, and torn the clothes on his body, the other party seems to want this goddess of surname to make a choice, either forced or enjoyed.

Lieutenant Colonel Juan put the letter of surrender full of words on the table, shook his head and sighed: "Don't forget, Governor Marcello, they are pirates, not the army of a certain country, even if they kill all of us, our kingdom will not even find a person to protest." ”

"What to do? Am I really surrendering to those pirates? Governor Marcelo's face was dead gray, and this sentence seemed to ask those present, and he was always asking himself. The dead silence made the atmosphere in the hall seem so gloomy...... －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On the wharf, more than 20 warships have been anchored, Liang Pengfei has set foot on the land of Luzon, and around him, countless pirates of the Liang family army and the Shi family are landing one after another, constantly dragging all kinds of equipment to the shore, and building a temporary defensive position.

Liang Pengfei raised his head and looked at the majestic fleet behind him, fortunately he united with Shi Xianggu, otherwise, with the three thousand or so people of the Liang family, there was really no way to drive all these warships to show off their martial arts.

"When Lao Tzu becomes an official, then he will be able to recruit people from the people in the name of justice." Liang Pengfei thought a little stupidly.

"Young master, if you can't wait, it's already been a quarter of an hour." Bai Shusheng fidgeted and walked behind Liang Pengfei, his eyes patrolling the surroundings vigilantly, Monk Chen also did not leave Liang Pengfei's left and right, this must still be the enemy's territory, and the young master must not be allowed to suffer any damage here.

Liang Pengfei smiled, his face full of confidence and the pride of a winner. "What's the panic, these Spaniards are desperate anyway, unless they are willing to run bare-bottomed into the primeval forest to be savages, otherwise, they can only surrender and go all the way."

Seeing the dock fortifications that had become ruins, and the nearby city wall of northern Manila, which had completely collapsed, Liang Pengfei's heart was so refreshed, the Western powers in the future are not their own food now, and they are stepping on this land as a conqueror.

"There's also a hairy Fei Xbin, here, no one should think about it anymore." Young Master Liang's greedy and vicious eyes looked down on this rich land like a falcon.

"Liang Shao, if it's okay, I want to go over and take a look first, I have a relative near here." Shi Xianggu walked over and said to Liang Pengfei. Her hand was pointing to the perimeter of Manila's city walls, where there were large scattered dwellings and straw huts.

Seeing that Liang Pengfei was a little hesitant, Shi Xianggu explained with a faint gentleness on her face: "Our Shi family has relatives living here, but they still make a living from fishing, and they reported the letter last time. ”

Liang Pengfei looked into the distance, since the mission composed of those naval officers landed, there was no trace of Spanish soldiers and armed men around the wharf except for the corpses, and the houses and grass huts near the wharf were also closed, only a pair of eyes full of fear and worry dodged behind the window. It seems that they also understand that there is no point in resisting.

"Then you go, but be careful and bring your guards." Liang Pengfei was still a little worried and told Shi Xianggu, Shi Xianggu nodded meekly, and then left Liang Pengfei's side to gather the guards.

"Young master, that Aunt Shi Xiang is becoming more and more gentle to you, it turns out that when we stand next to her, we all feel miserable and cold all over our bodies." Bai Shusheng stepped forward, with an obscene expression, like a dog leg who gave a bullie an idea to make bad water.

"I said, what does it mean to be miserable? Is Miss Shi a female ghost? Liang Pengfei kicked Bai Shusheng and scolded with a smile, and Monk Chen next to him also grinned with schadenfreude. Silly bird, how can a character like Miss Shi be a female ghost, and how can a female ghost be worthy of our young master. ”

"You kid, the biggest flaw is that you are too generous and like to tell the truth too much." Liang Pengfei smiled heartily, and gave Monk Chen, who was standing behind him, an elbow, but most of the compliments were used. The pirates behind him rolled their eyes wildly and were speechless for a while.
