Chapter 155: Goodbye Xu Hai
More than 50,000 good men and more than 200 warships covered the sky and the sun all the way to the south, with the great ideal of sealing their wives and sons and making meritorious contributions, singing the majestic and high-spirited loud military songs, Yang Fan left.

This march first passed through the Australian * Gate, Xiao Tian saw his biggest partner Hua Luoshi again, this Hua Luo Shi saw Xiao Tian such a large army and thought that he had provoked him again, looking at this endless fleet, thinking that he could never beat him, and hurriedly ran to beg for mercy.
As a result, when I heard that Xiaotian was not coming for them, but was going to beat those Spanish stupid pigs, I was really overjoyed, hugged Xiaotian repeatedly, and kept saying that he and Daming were friends forever.
Since ancient times, the alliance is the most prone to problems, and if the two sides cannot coordinate their command, sometimes they are not as strong as one side fighting alone. Therefore, the little heaven is the villain first and the gentleman is later. Before the expedition, the rights and obligations of this battle were formulated in detail with Valostar.
The hatred between Spain and Portugal has a long history, and the two countries have a naked hatred. As the two hegemons of European navigation, they grabbed gold, silver, territory, trade routes and supplies, and have long been mortal enemies. Therefore, Xiao Tian is not worried about their initiative when fighting, these people will definitely be more active in fighting the Spaniards than themselves.
However, the Spaniards were not just hated by these people. These two countries are fighting fiercely in Southeast Asia than they are in Europe, and in the final analysis, they are still interests. In the 16th century, the largest source of ocean trade was not the silk tea of the Ming Dynasty, but spices. These Europeans, carrying knives and red eyes, carried out ocean-going trade regardless of life and death, and with their primitive navigation skills, less than half of them could return home alive every time. What are they for? I believe that everyone who asks this question will get the same answer: gold, spices, Christians.
In Europe, spices are a product with a higher price than gold. During this period, their main source of gold was the Americas, and the main source of spices was Southeast Asia. Of course, the gold and silver in exchange are still used to buy things from Daming.
Speaking of Southeast Asia, we can't fail to mention spices, and now the East Indies, another name is the Spice Islands. In fact, this spice refers to nothing more than seasonings, mainly peppercorns, that's it, in later generations, ten yuan could buy a big bag of things, but he became the protagonist of the world stage at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he promoted the development of the world.
So, in the final analysis, Portugal and Spain went to war for the sake of profit. No matter how much enmity there is between the two of them, Hua Luoshi will not do anything to help Daming fight in vain.
Xiao Tian had already thought about it, and there was no conflict between Daming and Portugal in this matter. Although Daming's spices are not as abundant as those in Southeast Asia, they are still almost self-sufficient. On top of that, the eating habits of us Asians are different from those of Europeans, and part of the reason why Europe needs such a huge amount of spices is to make sachets to hide their own strong body odor. The other part is to cook with the food, but not only because the meat cooked with spices is delicious, but more importantly, the meat cooked with spices can be stored for a longer time.
In Daming, our eating habits make the body not taste so big. Sachets are also mostly made of musk and flower petals. As for food preservation, first of all, not to mention that the Ming people usually don't eat so much meat, even the Ming people who often eat meat prefer to use bacon to preserve food. Therefore, the demand for spices in Daming is very low.
In this way, Xiaotian and Warlord have a basis for cooperation. Valori needs the spices of Luzon more, and Xiaotian needs the land and rubber there, which is the basis for a win-win cooperation between the two people.
The two men happily signed the paperwork: after driving out the Spaniards, they were to garrison Luzon together, and all the spices were owned by Warox. But except for spices, all the proceeds belong to Xiaotian.
At this time, Hua Luoshi didn't understand that the broken place in Luzon was worth anything other than spices, so naturally he would not refuse Xiaotian's proposal. As for the spices given to Warlords, Xiao Tian is not worried at all, so many spices, except for the Portuguese themselves, the rest will definitely become gold, these gold are in the hands of the Portuguese royal family, what else can you do except buy luxury goods? As for what is a luxury, hehe! Mirrors, porcelain, silk are all there. Sooner or later, the gold will have to return to Xiaotian's hands.
After talking about the distribution of the results, these Portuguese, one by one, were so excited that they seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and shouted loudly that they would follow the great Marquis of Daming to teach those Spanish stupid pigs who did not know the height of the sky.
Warlord was also very happy, and happily handed over the command to Xiao Tian, saying that he and his more than 20,000 Portuguese soldiers were willing to listen to all the dispatches of Xiao Tian. After a simple reorganization, Xiaotian's troops plus Leping's 6,000 have reached nearly 60,000, plus 20,000 Portuguese allies, Hu Zongxian also gave Yu Dayou more than 20,000 county soldiers. Nearly 100,000 people and more than 400 big ships slaughtered towards Xu Hai's lair with murderous energy. Before fighting Luzon, I had to solve this buddy.
Xiao Tian made such a big formation, if Xu Hai didn't know, he would be blind. found his good brother Ma Ye, and gathered enough 50,000 people, although the equipment on the warship is far from Xiaotian and them, but the number can be almost one, isn't it? One by one, they are ready for battle, as if they are facing a great enemy.
Xiaotian is also a character who does not play cards according to common sense. They all thought that they were going to fight an appetizing battle, but he didn't take the usual path, ordered the Sunshine Sonny to leave the team, sailed straight towards Xu Hai, and waved a flag to negotiate with Xu Hai. Everyone was worried, but Xiao Tian smiled like someone who was fine: "It's okay, Xu Da is my eldest brother, even if he wants to tear his face now, he has to let our brothers say a few nonsense." ”
Everyone was speechless in their hearts, thinking: When did you still have such a deep relationship with Xu? Besides, you're not that particular person!
Xu Hai was also confused for a while, I don't know what Xiaotian wants to talk to him? But his own family knows his own affairs, and he knows from Xiaotian's team of 100,000 people that he is not an opponent, and the ship is not as fast as his family, so I am afraid that he will not be able to run if he wants to. At this time, Xiao Tian was willing to talk, and he naturally didn't have to fight, so he also ordered his subordinates to meet him by a boat alone. He is a tall and bold person, and he is not afraid of Xiaotian to use the opportunity to negotiate. (To be continued.) )
