Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Aggressor

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha......"

Listening to Mabulai's words, Yue Su couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he said in a loud voice: "What a public territory, an ownerless territory!" Since Your Excellency said that whoever occupies it belongs to whom, then Ben Du will send troops tomorrow to see if you can hold this territory! ”

"Governor Yue, you can't say that, the territory of Taiwan was first occupied by our Great Spain, and now it is the territory of our Spain. By doing so, you are committing aggression! Mabre hurriedly argued.

"Aggression! Is the aggressor also qualified to say that someone else is aggressive? In your eyes, the law of the jungle is the strongest, and you will never sympathize with the weak. What's wrong? Seeing that I am strong today, I am strong, and in turn, I am an invasion! If you and I were to switch positions today, would you show any mercy to my men, Mr. Mabley? Taiwan's territory, before you, this old man has occupied it......" Saying, Yue Su pointed at Zheng Zhilong, and then said: "His name is Zheng Zhilong, you should have heard of his name, now he is no longer a pirate, he has become the general of my Ming Dynasty!" Taiwan w& Island, Zheng Zhilong used to be entrenched on it, but was later driven away by the Dutch invaders, if according to your statement, this Zheng Zhilong is the owner of Taiwan w&! It's okay, this governor will ask for Taiwan on behalf of Zheng Zhilong today, whether it is a Spaniard or a Dutchman, if you dare not give it up, I will let him stain Taiwan with blood! Today you are here, the Governor may as well tell you the truth, the Governor has decided to attack Taiwan in the near future, take back the territory, and those who dare to resist will be killed! I also advise Your Excellency, to bring back the words of this governor and tell you what the general, and if you know something, hurry up and get out with your fleet, otherwise I will leave him with no armor! ”

In the end, Yue Su's voice was very sharp, and he had the intention of eating the other party.

Don't look at what Yue Su said, but Mabulai can also see some clues from Yue Su's expression. When he heard the interpreter paraphrase in Spanish, his face became cloudy. After a long time, he said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency the Governor, everything is negotiable, and this time, our General Haraojie has sent you a rich gift, hoping that the two sides can turn the conflict into a jade silk." As he spoke, Mabuli took out a gift slip from his clothes and dragged his hands in front of him.

Yue Su listened to the translation, laughed, and said, "Interesting, I didn't expect the Spaniards to give me gifts." Well, let the Governor take a look at it and present it. ”

Jin Chan stepped forward to take the gift list and presented it to Yue Su, Yue Su opened it and took a look, the names in it were all written in Spanish, but fortunately, there was a Chinese translation below. The gifts included gold coins, diamonds, precious stones, and a very valuable item, and at the end, there were eight Indian beauties written on it.

For this, Yue Su is not uncommon at all, he chuckled lightly, and said: "I should be a good thing, but these toys, want this thing, buy the land of the Ming Dynasty from the hands of this governor, it is a pipe dream." With that, he raised his hand, and the gift slip flew out of his palm and landed at Mabley's feet.

I don't understand the words, but Mablay still understands the meaning. After listening to the translation, Mablé gritted his teeth, held his breath, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Your Excellency, if you are too little, we can continue to negotiate the price." But if you are bent on fighting, I will not be afraid of Spain. Our country has 5,000 of the most heroic soldiers stationed on Taiwan Island, and it also has the most powerful firepower in the world, and we negotiate with your country, but we don't want more casualties on both sides, and it's not that our big Spain is afraid of your country. If you open fire, your country will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and I hope that Your Excellency the Governor will give it more consideration. ”

They all gave gifts to Yue Su, and Mabuli didn't forget to brag about himself. Of course, Lord Yue would not eat this, and after listening to the words of the interpreter, he couldn't help but laugh again, this time not only he laughed, but even Yue Su's subordinates also laughed. Mablai is also too good at blowing, and there are only a few hundred Spanish people on Taiwan's W&O Island, and they dare to exaggerate ten times, and they can also speak seriously, without even blinking their eyes, and they can be shameless to this point.

"Well, since your country is so powerful, then Ben Du will wait and see how much damage you Spaniards can inflict on our army. However, if you are willing to surrender at once, there is still a way out, and the Governor will allow you to leave Taiwan. However, if you really wait for the big war to come together, and you want to surrender unconditionally, this governor will not give you this opportunity! Yue Su said sharply.

"Well, since the Governor is going his own way, then we in Great Spain are waiting for Your Excellency. Your Excellency, you will regret it! Seeing that Yue Su was bent on starting a war, Mablai knew that he couldn't talk anymore, so he threw down his cruel words and turned around and walked towards the outside of the big tent.

The interpreter hurriedly followed like a fart and walked out together. Yue Su's subordinates wanted to step forward to stop the two of them, but they were stopped by Yue Su raising his hand, the great power of the Celestial Empire, in terms of subsections, could not lose their manners.

On Yuesu's side, continue to prepare, and wait until the day after tomorrow to land from Jilong Harbor and attack Taiwan. After getting on the boat, Mabule immediately rushed back to Taiwan, he also landed from Joncoop Harbor, and rushed all the way to the city of the Savior, and when he arrived in the city, he asked to see the Spanish chief in Taiwan, Haraury.

"General, I have already met Yue Su, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other party's purpose is indeed to capture Taiwan and drive us away. According to Your Excellency's wishes, his subordinates sent gifts, and planned to talk about it, but Yue Su resolutely refused and wanted to go to war. In Harau's office, Mablé gave a report on the results of his mission.

After listening to this, Haraojie thought for a while and said, "Have you gone to Penghu to see the naval power of the Ming Dynasty?" How many warships and how many soldiers can there be? ”

"There are too many, I really can't count them, the large and small warships combined, it is estimated that there can be two or three hundred, and there are many soldiers, tens of thousands of people should be able to have." Mabloy said truthfully.

"So many ......" Although someone had already sent someone to have a general understanding of the strength of the Ming army on the Penghu side, when he heard this number again, Harao Jie couldn't help frowning. The strength of his own side is too weak compared to the other party. This is not Europe, in general battles, one or two thousand people are large-scale, and the Ming Dynasty fought a war, moving tens of thousands, which is really unbearable.

"Do you think we'll be able to hold it?" Haraut said something rather unsubstantial.

Maburai shook his head, don't look at him on Yue Su's side and dare to speak out, but his own strength is there, even if he occupies the geography and the firearms are relatively powerful, but if he really moves his subordinates, the consumption is not consumable. "Your Excellency General, if you really face it directly, our army will definitely not be able to hold it."

"Then what should I do, I have received a death order from the Governor Alfonso, not only to defend this place, but also to wait for an opportunity to drive out the Dutch and occupy the whole of Taiwan. Now don't talk about occupying the entire Taiwan w&, I'm afraid it's difficult to even protect myself, so go back like this, let me explain it. Haraut said helplessly.

"If Your Excellency General doesn't fire a single bullet, he will be so frightened by the Ming army, and he really can't go back and explain to the Governor. However, once they fight, I'm afraid that if it's really like Yue Su said, I won't be able to leave if I want to. At this, Mablay sighed, but his eyes kept rolling, as if he really wanted to think of something.

After a while, Mablay's eyes finally lit up, and he said, "Your Excellency, I have come up with an idea here, you weigh it and see if it is okay to act like this?" ”

"Oh? Do you have a way? "Harau's Day has reached the point where there is nothing to be done, and it is better to listen to it than to sit still. He immediately humbly asked, "What is the method, let's hear it." ”

"This time, the Ming army aims to recapture the entire Taiwan w&. It was not only us who were dealing with us, but also the Dutch, and the battle on the Penghu Islands was the best illustration. I don't think we're going to negotiate with the Dutch and ask them to send troops to help defend the defense. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, and for us and the Dutch, this is the truth. Without us, the Dutch would be the next to be wiped out, and I don't think they would have failed to understand this truth, and they would have sent troops to help. The Dutch have more than 2,000 people in Taiwan, and with their troops to help, we will definitely be able to hold it. Mabre said.

Harauj nodded and said, "You're right, it's a good idea, and I'm sure the Dutch will help." However, I am also afraid that the Dutch will take advantage of the situation and extort us while they are still alive. ”

"That's what the Dutch will do, it's just the numbers. But now is really a time of life and death, without their help, we will definitely be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. Your Excellency the Governor, if you ask the Dutch for help, at most you will lose some money, and we will be able to earn it back in the future, and I think that when the Governor knows, he will also agree, and will not be harsh on us. But if we don't ask the Dutch for help, we will lose more than just money, including the territory we have already acquired, and even our lives. Mabloi said earnestly.

"Well, now that we've come to this, let's stop worrying about some money. In this way, you will make another hard trip, go to the castle of Geranza, go to Malden, and convey my intention to him, and you know what you say, and hope that he will be able to send troops to help resist it, and the price is easy to say. After Haraught, he sighed again.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Mabulé agreed, life and death were at stake, and he didn't care about the tiredness on his body, so he immediately set off and went to the south of Taiwan, the territory of the Dutch.

The castle of Geranza was the center of Dutch rule at that time, and of course, the famous city of Chichia has not yet been built. At Fort Géranza, Mablai met with Malden, the Dutch commander in Taiwan, and asked the Dutch to help. His affirmation will naturally not be inferior, but to clarify the benefits and disadvantages.

Malden also understands this truth, the Penghu Islands were killed and there was no return, if the Ming Dynasty really attacked Taiwan and destroyed Spain, the next one would be himself. Therefore, he immediately decided to send troops to help Spain and fight against the Ming Dynasty with the troops of the two countries. But, as Harao thought on his own, before sending troops, at least he had to talk about the conditions. After all, it's you, not me, who will die first.

After some haggling, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and the Dutch sent 1,500 troops to the city of Holy Savior for reinforcements.
