"Do you want to make peace with us and Spain? They also allowed us to trade freely in and out of the southeast seaport of the Ming Kingdom in the future? ”

In the castle, Portiro, the governor of Spanish Taiwan, shouted unexpectedly, he did not expect the Ming Dynasty to suddenly send a huge fleet to arrive, let alone that the Ming Dynasty was willing to trade with them. This happiness came too suddenly, they tried their best, but they couldn't get a foothold along the coast of Daming, and Daming didn't trade with them at all, and now Daming actually took the initiative to trade with them.

"What do the Ming people want, do they want us to send troops to support them in the war against the Qing people?" Potiro asked, he knew that the Ming State was now at war with the barbarian Qing people in the north, and in the early years, the Ming State also purchased artillery from the Portuguese in Macao, and later hired the Portuguese in Macao to go north to train them in new firearms units, and once hired the Portuguese to go north to fight the Qing army.

When Potilo thought about it, the Ming Kingdom suddenly changed his attitude and took the initiative to ask for trade, and the only reason was that he wanted to hire them to fight against the Qing army.

"It's not." Harris, who had gone to meet with Akito earlier, replied.

"Didn't the Ming Kingdom want to hire us to help them fight?"

"No, but they also put forward conditions."

"What conditions." Potiro hurriedly asked, "As long as we can get the right to trade with Ming, no matter what the conditions, we will agree." "Potiro knows better than anyone else that the Taiwanese stronghold no longer has the meaning of survival and will be dismantled sooner or later. He, the chief, will also do it, but he is a little unwilling. And if he can represent Spain and obtain a formal trade agreement with the Ming Kingdom, then this credit will be great, and perhaps he will become the first official to be sent to the Ming Kingdom to be in charge of commerce.

Harris hesitated for a moment before stating Da Ming's conditions.

"The commander of the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, that is, the son of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. The Marquis of Zhennan demanded that we immediately surrender unconditionally to them and hand over Northern Taiwan. ”

Potiro replied without thinking about it, "As long as Ming Guo is willing to open up trade with us, what else will Taiwan do, this place where birds don't, we will hand it over to them immediately." ”

Mingnan's Zhennanhou also proposed. The Ming could open trade with Spain, but because we killed more than 20,000 Chinese merchants and Han Chinese in Luzon earlier this year, Spain had to apologize to the Ming for the reparations. ”

Hearing this request, Potiro groaned slightly. The Spanish occupation of Luzon and Manila has only been 68 years now, but the activities of the Ming people in Luzon and Manila have a history of hundreds of years. Especially at the beginning, in order to occupy Luzon, they also fought with the Ming maritime merchants for a long time.

Later, although it occupied Luzon, the local Chinese were extremely powerful. Later, the Ming Emperor sent officials to Luzon to explore the gold mines, which caused the Spaniards to be very nervous. Thinking that the Ming State was preparing to attack Luzon, in order to prevent the Han people in Luzon from responding to the Ming Dynasty, they massacred the Han people and killed tens of thousands of people. Decades later, just this year, the Spaniards slaughtered more than 20,000 Han Chinese in Manila again in order to strengthen their grip on Luzon.

"You can apologize to them." Potyro Road, as long as you can get the right to trade. What about apologizing, anyway, a lot of meat is lost in dollars. But he is not interested in reparations. Some hesitation.

"How much compensation does Akito demand?"

"The Marquis of Zhennan said that we slaughtered them twice before and after, killing 50,000 of their people, and each of them burned 2 taels of silver to get 1 million taels."

"A million!" Potiro smacked his lips, which was not a small number. However, if the right to trade with China can be obtained, it will be able to break the economic blockade of the Dutch on the Philippines. Change the current unfavorable situation of Spain in the East Indies. Although a million is more, it can still be earned. "If Mingguo is willing to accept installments, it is not unacceptable to reduce the number a little more."

Harris continued, "And "

"Akito still has conditions?"

"Yes. The Marquis of Zhennan also said that our massacre of their people and the forcible occupation of their land were rather rude and barbaric, and that we had to pay a reparation in addition to a formal written apology. ”

"Another reparation? How much does Akito want this time? "Potiro is already a little annoyed, and these wise people are too inched.

"Ten million taels of silver indemnity!" Harris whispered.

Potiro couldn't bear it anymore and burst into a rage.

He shouted loudly, "This is blackmail, this is blackmail, there is no way!" ”

At this time, another Spaniard said, "I think this is just their offer, the Chinese like to ask for a lot of money when doing business, and we can bargain with them." It's not that if he asks for 10 million, we will give 10 million. Since the Ming people came to negotiate trade, then they were still sincere, and it was impossible for them to make trouble without incident. ”

"Leo of Pol, my God, why are you still talking to the people of the Ming Kingdom." Portiro said angrily.

The man known as Bol was the commander of the supply fleet outside, and he was now trapped here, aware of the disparity between us and foe, and was unwilling to fight the Akito.

"I hate the people of the Ming Kingdom, I hate the merchants of the Ming Kingdom, they are cunning and treacherous!" Potiro snorted. "Say, if the Ming people have any other requirements, you can finish everything."

"Zhen Nanhou said that until the reparations are received, all Spaniards in Santiago will be their hostages, and our ships will also be used as collateral."

"It can't be!" This time, it was Leo of Pol who was the first to shout.

Harris continued with a bitter face, "When I came back, Zhennanhou said to give us an hour to think about it, and after an hour, if we haven't surrendered yet, he will attack. If he attacked, we would be his prisoners of war instead of hostages, and all the Spaniards' supplies in northern Taiwan, including the warships, would become their trophies rather than collateral. ”

"I ask to negotiate with Zhennanhou in person!" Potiro shouted.

No one wanted to fight the Ming army, and Potiro had no choice but to negotiate.

A group of Spanish officers and officers left the castle and took a boat to the sea, waving white flags and demanding negotiations.

In the face of those angry Spaniards, although Liu Jun met with them, he did not have a good face, and his attitude was even more tough.

The two sides talked back and forth for a long time, and finally Liu Jun modified the conditions slightly.

"First, the Spaniards must apologize to the Ming. The official written apology must be submitted in writing by King Philip IV of Spain and affixed with the king's seal. ”

"Second, Spain must pay the Ming a million taels of silver as compensation for the people they slaughtered."

"Third, Spain must compensate the Ming with 10 million taels of silver as compensation for their massacre of the Ming people and the occupation of the Ming Dynasty's territory. Ten million taels of silver. It can be repaid in 20 years, and after the official trade between the two countries, 500,000 taels will be repaid every year until it is repaid. ”

"Fourth, the Spaniards will return Northern Taiwan, and the Spaniards in Northern Taiwan will be taken hostages of the Ming Dynasty, and their property and ships will be used as collateral, when they pay the first batch of 1.5 million taels of silver indemnity. These people can be returned. ”

There are only four of them, but there is no room for counter-offer in each of them.

"We must not accept such conditions." Potiro shouted, "I also hereby reply to our conditions, one, we can apologize in writing to the Ming, but only by the Governor of the Philippines on behalf of Spain." Second, Spain compensated the Ming Dynasty with 100,000 taels of silver as compensation for those killed in Luzon. Third. After Spain officially traded with the Ming Kingdom, it paid 50,000 taels of silver to the Ming Kingdom every year. Twenty years. Fourth, they are willing to evacuate Taiwan immediately and hand over northern Taiwan to the Ming State, but the Ming State must let them leave freely and safely, and all their property can be taken away without hindrance. ”

Liu Jun waved his hand. "It seems that we are having trouble reaching an agreement, so let's go to war. The country is strong, the herald, prepare to attack! ”

Zheng Zhilong and Xiong Wencan sat on the side and watched from beginning to end. They didn't interject, and Liu Jun led the negotiations. Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down, both of them were very anxious.

Potiro and the other Spaniards didn't expect Akito to be so tough, and Potiro said hatefully, "Do you really want to lose both sides like this?" Maybe you can defeat me now, but you have to know that in Luzon we have a strong fleet. ”

"A powerful fleet? Are you talking about the Armada? But as far as I know, your Armada has already been defeated by the British, well, how many Galen ships and how many armed merchant ships escaped back at that time? You can't even break through the blockade of the Dutch and British in the South China Sea, and you still talk to me about a powerful fleet? ”

A group of Spaniards were red-faced and panting.

Leo of Pol said angrily, "Then see you on the battlefield and take your leave!" ”

He turned around and left, but as soon as he took two steps, a team of Liu Jun's personal guards had already stopped in front of them.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, didn't you say you were going to fight, now that it's at war, you're no longer my guests, but my enemies, I'm sorry, from now on, you're my prisoners." Liu Jun laughed.

Zheng Zhilong and Xiong Wencan both turned their faces a little embarrassed, but they didn't expect Liu Jun, a dignified marquis, to be so shameless, and he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and he didn't even let go of the messenger.

Portiro and his party did not expect this result, they are also used to dealing with Chinese, but they have never seen someone like Liu Jun.

"You!"

Liu Jun put away his smiling face and snorted coldly, "Fire a cannon on the shore, and then give the Spaniards an ultimatum, and give them another hour to think about it." If they don't surrender after an hour, let them all go to their God. ”

The flags were waved, the trumpets and drums sounded, and the three-masted flotilla marched forward, reaching the shore, and began to turn the bow of the ship, facing the shore with the long ship's side.

Outside of Chicken Coop Harbor, there is a small island where the Spaniards built a fortress before they first landed in Tai Chicken Coop. However, now that the Spanish army in Taiwan has decreased, the fortress has been abandoned.

Liu Jun gave an order, and more than 200 cannons launched a salvo on the island, and the fortress that could be seen standing tall in the distance was suddenly shrouded in a rain of bullets.

Moments later, the fortress had collapsed.

The heavy artillery fire saw the white of Potilo and the others who were detained on the Zhenhae, and the Spaniards on the ships of San Salvador and the harbor were even more pale.

After the shelling, the Hydra began to give an ultimatum to the Spaniards.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the Spaniards, who had just seen the powerful artillery strike ability of the Ming army, made the decision to open the city and surrender.

The fleet wanted to escape, but more than 300 Daming ships had already blocked it to death.

In the end, all the Spaniards in the north of Taiwan surrendered unconditionally, the gate of the castle was wide open, the fleet of more than a dozen ships also retreated into the port and anchored, and the crew and sailors all disembarked and went ashore, together with the Spaniards from the city, lined up empty-handed, waiting for the surrender of the Ming army.

"Zheng Junmen, Xiong Junmen, please accept the surrender of the Spaniards with a certain one." Liu Jun laughed, Xiong Wencan and Zheng Zhilong didn't expect such a result in the end.

"These Hongyi are too cowardly." Xiong Wencan didn't forget to despise Potiro and the others when he got off the boat, and these angry guys almost drew their swords to fight Liu Jun, if their swords weren't confiscated by Liu Jun's guards.

"Master Hou, that four-masted galleon will be ours in the future, right?" Wang Guoqiang excitedly looked at the Galen warship moored in the harbor.

"Well, from now on it will be ours, from now on, it will be renamed the Fubo, my new flagship!" Liu Jun proudly announced loudly.

Liu Jun first sent some small boats into the port, boarded those Spanish ships, took over the ships as soon as possible, and then aimed his cannons at the Spaniards on the shore.

Then, more Hydra landed in boats and took the captives under control.

"Treat the captives preferentially, and don't hurt them." After Liu Jun stepped on the dock, he made a special explanation.

Occupying the port, occupying the city of San Salvador, and occupying the Chicken Coop Mountain outside the city, the nine-headed bird methodically carried out the takeover work. The Spaniards who surrendered were taken outside the city, where a temporary prisoner camp was established.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the Galen four-masted battleship in the port, as well as the four armed merchant ships, and the ten caravels in his heart, and regretted in his heart, why did he have to make this bet with Hou Ye.

Now it's okay, a piece of fat and sweaty fat is in front of him, but there is nothing wrong with him. Great Galen, he didn't have one of his own, and the four armed merchant ships, he himself was only a dozen.

Not to mention, all the property and goods on the shore are now owned by Liu Jun alone.

Thinking that he had lost so much in one bet, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but raise his slap and slap himself.

"If I bet with Hou Ye again in the future, you will definitely have to stop me." After Zheng Zhilong slapped himself, he explained to the Zheng brothers around him. "I can't bet with Master Hou anymore, my big Galen, it's so heartbroken!" (To be continued......)
