After listening to Ren Siqi's report, Fu Chun couldn't make up his mind, so he summoned several stewards on the ship to discuss.

"You can't go, the fucking Spaniards just killed more than 20,000 Chinese, let's go and trade with them, what has become of it, isn't it a traitor?" Mao XVIII spoke first, strongly opposing going to Luzon on the grounds that he would not do business with the robbers who massacred the Chinese.

"The emperor doesn't care about this, what the hell are we doing." Fu Bin disagreed with Mao Shiba's words, "We are doing business, of course, we will go wherever we make more money." Fu Bin was attracted by the several times the profits depicted by David, if you have money, you don't make a bastard, so a fool won't go.

"But is that what David said true? Will he lie to us? "Treasurer Wen Ruoyu is a cautious man.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ren Siqi, whether David's words were true or not, Ren Siqi had the most right to speak.

Ren Siqi thought about it carefully and said, "I think what David said should be true." Didn't they Spaniards come from far away and occupy Luzon just to make money? On the contrary, in order to get Luzon's economy out of the depression as soon as possible, they would raise the price of goods and encourage more Ming people to go to Luzon. ”

"But if you say that, why do they kill so many Chinese?" Mao 18 expressed puzzlement.

"That's because the Spaniards are afraid." Ren Siqi said lightly.

"Scared? Impossible. "Almost all of them were skeptical. The Spaniards, with their strong ships and cannons, occupied the city of Manila, they were the rulers of Luzon, how could they be afraid of the Chinese?

"Yes, they are afraid. Because the number of Chinese in Luzon far exceeds that of the Spaniards, in the whole of Luzon, the Spaniards are only a little more than 1,000, and the Chinese, more than 20,000! If the Chinese rose up to rebel, how could more than a thousand Spaniards resist? ”

Speaking of this, Ren Siqi couldn't help but think of the countless massacres of Chinese by Western colonists in Nanyang, and in Luzon alone, the Spaniards carried out three massacres against the Chinese! Countless Chinese who went to Nanyang to make a living died in a foreign land.

"Now there are not many Ming people in the whole of Luzon, and those Luzon natives are lazy and don't know anything, which has caused the Luzon economy to be depressed, and according to David, there is not even a shaver in Manila City, and they urgently need the Ming people to go now. So not only will they not deal with us, but on the contrary, they will welcome us very much. ”

"But they killed more than 20,000 of us!" Mao Shibai said angrily, he didn't expect Ren Siqi to agree to go to Luzon.

Ren Siqi smiled apologetically at Mao Eighteen and said no more. Mao 18 is a person who loves and hates clearly, and he is also a simple-minded person, but he doesn't know that all of the people present except him only care about making money, and they don't care whether the Spaniards killed more than 20,000 Chinese. Just like Fu Bin said, the emperor doesn't care about us, can we take care of it?

Sure enough, after listening to Ren Siqi's analysis, Fu Chun had already made a decision, and now he only cares about the route.

Because the Dutch occupied the island of Dayuan, they would not allow the Fuchun to go through the Dayuan Strait to Luzon to trade with the Spaniards. However, David had said that they had come around from the east side of Dayuan Island, and since they could come around from the east, they would definitely be able to go around again. Although a route that has never been traveled before is dangerous, it is nothing compared to several times the profit. What's more, with David to show the way, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Another reason that made Fu Chun make up his mind was that Qian Lun, the financial deputy of the Fuchun, died! Qian Lun's death means that no one will supervise this trade, Fu Chun has already calculated an account in his heart, go to trade with the Dutch, at most double the profit, and go to Luzon, may get four times or even five times the profit, then all the extra money will fall into his own pocket, with this money, he can go home to retire!

"Just go to Luzon!" Fu Chun suppressed the excitement in his heart and made a decision. Listening to Fu Chun's words, Fu Bin's face also became excited.

Although Mao 18 did not approve of doing business with the Spaniards, since the owner Fu Chun had made a decision, he would not disobey it. had to stare at Ren Siqi hatefully, and turned around and walked out of the cabin. At this time, Ren Siqi could only smile bitterly.

In the cabin, Mao Shibai sat on the narrow bed wiping the long knife, ignoring Ren Siqi who came in.

"Brother Eighteen is still angry with me?" Ren Siqi smiled and sat next to him.

"Don't you dare, you're a dignified and talented man, we're just a pirate, how dare I be angry with you!" Mao Eighteen Yin and Yang said angrily.

Ren Siqi smiled slightly when he heard this, he really liked Mao Eighteen's straightforward temperament, because dealing with Mao Eighteen was not tiring at all.

"Eighteenth brother, have you heard of Lin Feng?" Ren Siqi suddenly rose to prominence.

"Of course I've heard of it, who doesn't know Lin Feng about the men running around in the waves?" Mao Eighteen glanced at Ren Siqi and said.

"Then have you heard that Lin Feng went to Luzon to fight the Spaniards?" Ren Siqi continued to ask.

Lin Feng was a great pirate in the Wanli period, once had thousands of warships, tens of thousands of troops, attacked mainland cities several times, and was defeated by the Ming army, he sailed to Luzon with thousands of people, cut the land and became the king, and the Spaniards fought together, and fled to Dayuan after defeat.

Speaking of Lin Feng, Mao Eighteen's eyes lit up, and it was his dream to lead the fleet across the world like Lin Feng!

"Do you know why Lin Feng failed?" Ren Siqi asked again.

How did Mao Shibai know how Lin Feng could fail, but he knew that Ren Siqi didn't want him to answer.

"The reason why Lin Feng failed was that he didn't know himself or the other. Although there are few Spaniards in Luzon, they have been operating in Luzon for many years, they have the fortified city of Manila, and the firearms of the Spaniards are extremely powerful, Lin Feng wants to drive away the Spaniards with thousands of people, how can they be undefeated! ”

"But the land of Luzon is my Ming Dynasty, and all the kings of Luzon have been canonized by my great son, Spain is just a small country in the West, and he dares to drive away the king and occupy Luzon, how can my dignified Chinese man let the barbarians be arrogant!"

"But if you want to drive away the Spaniards and recapture Luzon, you must first know their internal affairs, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles is this truth."

"Let's do business with them first, take the opportunity to check the geography of Luzon, get a glimpse of the strength of the Spaniards, and one day when we have the strength, we will be able to drive out the Spaniards in one fell swoop and restore our old Chinese land."

Ren Siqi's words were impassioned, and every sentence hit Mao Eighteen's heart, only to hear Mao Eighteen's heart surging and boiling.

Leading thousands of warships, crossing the oceans, destroying strong enemies, exalting foreign lands, and establishing immortal feats are what a real man should do, and it makes people excited to think about it.

But after calming down, Mao Shibai felt that it was just a beautiful dream.

"Just you? Just me? Mao Eighteen said disdainfully.

"What about you and me? Don't you even dare to think about it? Does the eighteenth brother dare to make a bet with me? Ren Siqi said.

"Bet on what?" Mao Eighteen said proudly: "There is nothing to bet that I dare not fight." ”

"Just bet that one day, if I have the strength of Lin Feng, the eighteenth brother you must be my vanguard and attack Luzon to expel the Spaniards."

Mao Eighteen laughed when he heard this: "If there is such a day, what does it matter if I sell Mao Eighteen's life to you?" ”
