Chapter 866: Luzon (15)

Not all Spaniards were as willing to give everything for His Majesty the Great King as Viceroy Coquela. Top Novel,

Rather than serving the king, these fellows who came to the colony from far and wide wanted to live and continue! Instead of a 'bang' that was fired as a giant firework!

Governor Coquera's suicidal order was quickly stopped, and even the soldiers in the castle could not accept such a brainless order. Soon, His Excellency the Governor was left alone and thrown into a dungeon.

The members of the Council of Colonial Assertion convened an emergency meeting and unanimously agreed to temporarily take over the powers of the Governor, who were somewhat unconscious. They soon sent emissaries to the Ming army, trying to use the gold and silver coins in the core castle to negotiate with the Ming army!

They believed that these unsightly escudos and rial could buy them a life and a ticket back to Spain!

Of course, Gao Yang wants these precious metals. Although he himself is not short of money, he can also distribute a large amount of precious metals to the army under his command. However, he had no intention of disrupting the financial order of this plane. This kind of unexpected booty is the greatest reward for the army.

"Tell them that they either surrender the castle and everything and then board a sailing ship for Spain alive. Or don't say anything, I'll help them set off the fireworks! Gao Yang, who was riding on a tall horse, had a slight chill in his words, and looked down at the panicked Spanish envoy with a proud expression.

"Yes, yes, yes." Suppressed by the strong momentum on Gao Yang's body, the sweaty Spanish envoy saluted in a panic, then turned around and ran quickly towards the core castle behind him.

"Your Excellency." Huang Degong, who had a complicated expression, came to Gao Yang's side, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said in a somewhat difficult voice, "Do you really want to let them go?" ”

After a pause, he continued, "These people are a bunch of brutes. After we entered the city, the Ming people in those cities pulled our trouser legs and cried about the various atrocities of these beasts. Just let them go?! Huang Degong's tone was obviously unwilling.

It is different from the vast majority of Ming generals who can only see silver in their eyes. Huang Degong is an excellent general who truly cares about the people.

After the army entered the city, he saw the tragic scenes of the Chinese who were tortured and humiliated by the Spaniards, and heard the bloody cries of the Chinese. He already hated the Spaniards in his heart. I heard that Gao Yang was going to let go of those culprits for the sake of the silver. Huang Degong immediately couldn't help but ask out loud.

The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled indifferently, "Didn't you hear what I just said clearly?" ”

"Huh?" Huang Degong's face was slightly stunned, he really didn't understand what Gao Yang meant.

"I just promised them that they could board a ship bound for Spain, but I didn't promise them what would happen after they sailed! Now, you get the idea? Gao Yang's deep voice made Huang Degong's eyes suddenly brighten, and he immediately nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "The last general understands." ”

Gao Yang chuckled and sat up straight, setting his gaze on the core fortress. Listen to the clamor and shouts of the Chinese in Manila as they take brutal revenge on the Spaniards and natives who failed to escape into the castle with the acquiescence of the Ming army. There was peace in my heart.

"If you come out to mix, you have to pay it back after all."

......

"Rejected?" The ultimatum given by Gao Yang reached the castle, and some unwilling Spaniards began to clamore for loyalty to the king together with His Excellency the Governor!

"Do you really want to die?" But. People who understand things still occupy the majority. "You've already been defeated and you're still thinking about taking away half of your wealth, I really don't understand what you guys think? Are all the fierce savages fools? ”

It turned out that these Spaniards wanted to save their lives while actually thinking about taking half of the wealth in the castle. After being kicked back by Gao Yang mercilessly, these guys with water in their heads finally became honest.

No way, in the face of Chi Guoguo's death threat. These bigwigs with status cherish and love their lives far more than those penniless poor ghosts. As for the wealth of the kingdom, although it is a pity, they are no longer able to protect it for His Majesty.

Eventually, these Spanish nobles signed an armistice with Gao Yang. They handed over all their wealth, both personal and in the Kingdom of Spain, to Gao Yang as their ransom money. Gao Yang, on the other hand, signed a written certificate. They are guaranteed to be put on a ship bound for Spain.

Perhaps Governor Coqueira, who was experienced enough to see through Gao Yang's thoughts, did not put him on the redemption list because the Spanish nobles were afraid that he would talk nonsense after returning to Spain, and still locked him in a dungeon. And in the absence of smart people. None of the Spaniards who were in a hurry to escape could see the kind of text trap that Gao Yang played.

Watch as those pot-bellied Spanish nobles leave Manila with their families in ornate carriages and suitcases of clothing and luggage. The angry Chinese in the city kept throwing debris at the wagons. In the end, they were blocked by the sergeants who maintained order.

Local historical documents have a detailed record of this incident, and this group of Spanish nobles did indeed board a Spanish naval sailing ship released by the Ming army in the port of Cavite. After replenishing with plenty of fresh water and food. The Spanish galleon set sail out of the harbor and sailed slowly into the depths of the sea.

But!

However, at that time, there was no record of the arrival of the Spanish sailing ship in any port by the various powers in the South Seas or on the Spanish mainland!

Where exactly did this unfortunate sailing ship go. Are you caught up in a murderous pirate or swallowed up by a raging and unforgiving sea? No one knows even hundreds of years later.

Gao Yang knows, and Huang Degong also knows. Those who made a trapdoor to the bottom of the sailing ship so that the sailing ship would also know about the sinking of the sailing ship after a day or two of sailing. It's just that they never say it.

The wealth of the Spaniards is beyond Gao Yang's imagination!

Even though Gao Yang already had great immunity to wealth at this moment, he was still shocked when he saw the huge wealth that had converged from the whole of Manila.

The riches collected from the Spaniards in Manila, the riches of the Spanish kingdom from the core castles, and the riches of the two unfortunate ships that had been taken prisoner in the port of Cavite.

A total of more than a ton and a half of gold bricks and gold coins! Over twenty tons of silver ingots, bars, and coins! In addition, there are a large number of various types of gemstones, jade, gold utensils, agate jadeite, and so on!

Gold cigarette cases, gold-handled swords, gold watches, diamond earrings, diamond rings, gemstone necklaces, all kinds of gold and silver products, etc., were seized from the homes of the Spaniards. At this moment, they were all piled up in a huge house in the Governor's residence, like a dragon's treasure.

And that's just the upfront income scavenged in Manila. When the army strikes in all directions and sweeps the whole of Luzon, the harvest will be even more amazing!

Gao Yang stood in a dazzling room filled with all kinds of treasures, even reflecting the whole room. I didn't even look at the mountains of gold and silver ingots, gold coins and silver coins. Go straight to the chests where the dazzling gems are stored.

Reach out and pick up a huge diamond that is crystal clear to the brilliance, and hold it up to the lamp to take a closer look. The bright and dazzling luster made Gao Yang nod slightly and put it away with satisfaction.

Then, he continued to search for the good things he had seen in this treasure mountain.

The color is pure, the feel is round, and at the same time, he also takes a lot of rubies, black gems, etc., which are also very large. All he took were rough stones, and none of the processed jewelry and other items were touched. He's not the character to pick up other people's leftovers.

Listening to the crisp sound of these treasures hitting each other, the smile on the corner of Gao Yang's mouth became even thicker. "Sure enough, war is the quickest way to get rich."

These gems are a little aggrieved by the processing technology of this era. Gao Yang is ready to bring them all back to the modern world, and ask those top gem designers to repackage them as gifts for his confidants. No woman can resist the allure of these brilliant gemstones!

"It's nice to have at home." Gao Yang looked at the pile of huge blood corals in front of him, half-squinted his eyes, raised his hand and pinched his chin and whispered.

"Are you sure?" The voice of the origin sounded, "Now it's starting to be high-profile?" ”

"What's this?" Gao Yang smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and stroked the magnificent blood coral, his eyes were clear, "Isn't it normal for me to have these things now?" ”

"Okay, whatever you want." The origin didn't care, and said, "Anyway, I don't understand why you humans are interested in these things. These are just the most ordinary things. ”

"Huh." Gao Yang shook his head slightly, turned around and came to the box full of all kinds of gems, grabbed a handful of round black pearls and played with them, nodded with satisfaction, and happily put them into the storage space. "If you can understand, then you can go and make a body for yourself and be human."

"Not interested." The voice of the origin is very flat.

Gao Yang shook his head slightly, didn't say anything more, and continued his selection work. He had no interest in the ordinary, and after putting away a small selection of the top goodies, he put away the best two of the magnificent blood corals.

Look around and look at the piles of golden, shiny human favorites. Gao Yang's mood gradually eased.

These things are really of little use to him. But for those soldiers who are fighting to the death, these are their ultimate pursuits!

"The spoils of war are called trophies only if everyone can share some of them." Gao Yang smiled, stopped looking at the treasures, and turned to look at the door of this house. (To be continued.) )
