: Today's first update, there is a second update in the evening, so stay tuned! ，……

Everything Deng Haonan said was true, and Governor Fernando did not doubt Deng Haonan's identity. Since the purchase of battleships. It was going to be a very big business, and I thought I was going to make a huge profit. Governor Fernando suddenly became excited.

So he said: "I don't know how many warships your country is going to buy!" ”

Deng Haonan thought to himself: You can't just say that you can buy a few. Otherwise, it would have made Governor Fernando suspicious.

So he replied: "Our initial idea is to buy ten to twenty two-thousand-ton warships!" ”

When Governor Fernando heard this, he was stunned. I thought that it was really a superpower in the East, and it would take twenty two-thousand-ton warships as soon as it struck.

It's just that Governor Fernando wants to sell twenty 2,000-ton warships to Na Haonan, but unfortunately he doesn't have them in his hands, and there are few 2,000-ton warships in various countries. "Governor Fernando snorted.

Deng Haonan said in his heart: I know that you don't have so many warships, but I just stun you first!

After a long time, Governor Fernando said: "That one doesn't need so many warships against a small Dutch fleet!" Moreover, at present, there are a lot of 2,000-ton armed merchant ships in various countries, but there are not a few warships! Moreover, a two-thousand-ton battleship is too expensive. They are all battleships that can only be used by emperors! Generally, the tonnage of warships of the navies of various countries is only between 500 tons and 1,000 tons! ”

Deng Hao smiled secretly in his heart, of course he knew.

So he asked calmly, "What does the Governor think?" ”

Governor Fernando thought to himself that this Ming official had always been very arrogant, and he should not know much about Western warships, so he said: "This Dutch fleet is mostly about 500 tons of warships, and the number of artillery equipment of each warship has never been much, and there is no need for 2,000-ton ships at all!" ”

Deng Haonan suddenly said: "When this official came, the Dutch battleship Erfoxian tried to intercept it, but it was captured by our army. The official view of the Dutch Buddha Immortal is a large warship of more than 1,000 tons, equipped with a red-coated cannon island gate, and the end is powerful. It took a lot of effort for this official to capture her! I hope to be able to buy this kind of battleship! ”

yes

Governor Fernando's eyes widened in disbelief.

Only then did he remember that yesterday afternoon his subordinates had reported that three warships had arrived in the port of Manila, but the owners were Ming people. The subordinates said that the Ming people were dressed strangely, and Governor Fernando had no time at that time, so he planned to go to the dock this morning to see it, but Di Haonan suddenly visited, so it was delayed.

At this time, Governor Fernando already understood that the owner of the three warships was none other than Deng Haonan, the great Ming Qincha.

It's just that. What puzzled him was that Deng Haonan was able to subdue the Uhfoxian, which was several times stronger than his battleship.

"This," Governor Fernando muttered again. How? I originally planned to fool Deng Haonan and make Deng Haonan give up buying a 2,000-ton ship, so he said that the Netherlands was a 500-ton ship. As a result, Deng Haonan captured the Buddha Immortal. That's the notorious three-story gunboat of more than 1,000 tons!

"This one-by-one Buddha Immortal is an exception among the royal warships!" Governor Fernando explained: "There are many royal families of various countries with warships like this, and most of them are decorations for various countries to show off their national strength, which is much worse than naval warships!" You see. Even one of your small ships can capture her, so it's useless! ”

No way!

Deng Haonan secretly said in his heart: Can this girl be explained like this? Call yourself bad to refute!

Never mind! Don't debate this topic with him!

Deng Haonan also knew that it was indeed a coincidence, and the Buddha Immortal was the other among the royal warships.

So he said, "Then the officer wants to know what kind of warships you can provide to us?" ”

Governor Fernando thought that Na Haonan had been fooled by him. So he said: "At present, I have twenty armed merchant ships of 1,000 to 2,000 tons, and 40 warships of 500 to 800 tons!" If Lord Deng agrees, I can make the decision to sell ten armed merchant ships and twenty 500-ton warships to your country! ”

Deng Haonan was puzzled: "Why don't you sell the 800-ton warship?" ”

Governor Fernando hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from that lord!" It's easy for me to sell 500-ton warships, but for battleships of more than 800 tons, it's hard for me to explain to the Admiralty! ”

Deng Haonan asked: "Didn't I give you money?" Why don't you explain to your Admiralty what you are willing to do? ”

Governor Fernando was a little embarrassed on this issue, and it was difficult to tell Deng Haonan.

However, Deng Haonan quickly figured out the key.

It turned out that this Governor Fernando was in charge of the political, economic and military power of the Philippines, and could be said to be the emperor of the Philippines.

Absolute power breeds its absolute corruption.

Empty wages were not the preserve of ancient Chinese officials, and all state officials under the authoritarian system all over the world were indispensable for such "talents"

Under the influence of the increasingly decadent and extravagant atmosphere of the huge Spanish Empire, in order to maintain the luxurious living expenses, Governor Fernando also unscrupulously ate empty wages.

According to the plan of Governor Fernando. At present, the Philippine fleet has 10 warships above the joint stew level, including two battleships and eight cruisers. There were sixty tons of battleships, all of which were frigates of sloops.

The Philippines loses warships every year. Since Governor Fernando took office, the number of lost places left by the previous governor has accumulated to twenty, because the countries of the East do not like to use the tall sail warships of the West, and the merchants of the East are even less willing to keep these money-eating machines.

The maintenance of a battleship is expensive. Even if it is not used, it is still expensive to moor in a military port. The era of Spanish overseas colonization is over, and the Philippine fleet has become a burden, consuming huge sums of money every year. If he sold these ships, Governor Fernando would save a large amount of money to maintain his luxurious life.

Twenty five- or six-hundred-ton unit schooner frigates, for Deng Haonan, if they can be purchased, he is already very happy.

"I wonder at what price the Governor sold it to us?"

Governor Fernando smiled and said, "Presumably, since that lord has captured the Buddha Immortal and visited the local Chinese, he should have also understood!" The warship in my hand is a regular warship, although it has been in service for a longer time, it is not as good as a new ship. I can compensate in other ways, though! ”

Then Governor Fernando gave his method of reparation.

With the exception of a 2,000-ton large armed merchant ship as a bonus, the existing configuration of the Spanish Navy's warships will not be dismantled, and the artillery, ammunition and other warship equipment will be converted into the entire cost of the warship.

Deng Haonan thought to himself, there is no problem with the old battleship, because a sail battleship has been in service for a long time than an ironclad battleship. The longest service time reached two hundred years.

Of course. I still have to maintain it in the middle!

And if Governor Fernando did not dismantle the weapons and other equipment on board the ship, and included it in the purchase price of the ship, he would save himself a lot of money.

Worthwhile!

When Deng Haonan asked the price again. Governor Fernando smiled mysteriously and said, "You and I are both officials, let's open the skylight and say something!" Anyway, the battleship was bought for the government, so Lord Deng won't fail to make some oil and water! ”

No way!

I forgot about this stubble!

Deng Haonan's heart was shocked, and he almost forgot that he was still playing a fake Qincha at this time!

The world is as black as a crow!

If he didn't give Governor Fernando kickbacks, he would be suspicious.

Nine out of ten officials of the Ming Dynasty are greedy. Fernando didn't believe that a minister who went abroad to procure would not be corrupt.

Deng Nuanan laughed, took the opportunity to hide his embarrassment, and immediately said: "Since the Governor said so, then I will give you a bottom, the oil and water are naturally going to make some money, as for the kickback?" Then it's up to you, Lord Governor? ”

In other words, the lower Governor Fernando set the real transaction price, the higher the rebate that Haonan gave him. Governor Fernando laughed: "That's good! Twenty frigates, a unit price of 100,000 pesos, a total of two million pesos! Send you an armed merchant ship of two thousand tons! ”

Damn, you dare to ask for it!

Deng Haonan shook his head, he only had 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, and after selling the goods, it was estimated that there were 300,000 taels, but it was only 1.5 million pesos!

Governor Fernando shook his head when he saw Deng Haonan, so he said, "This price is already very low!" A fully equipped frigate will be sold for at least two hundred thousand pesos! ”

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart, Lao Tzu naturally knows, but don't we have so much money? I have to give you a kickback. Not enough!

"A million pesos!"

Governor Fernando asked: "My share of can"

Deng Haonan said: "I'll give you 500,000 pesos!" ”

"No! Too little! Governor Fernando shook his head, the price and kickback he couldn't accept.

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Deng Haonan said: "Then I have to discuss it with the British East India Company!" ”

Deng Haonan also had no choice at this time, if he had money in his hands, he would directly respond. But the problem is that there is no money, once the subordinate can't pay the money, it will be exposed!

"No, no!" When Governor Fernando heard that Deng Haonan was going to trade with the British East India Company, he immediately said, "Is there anything to discuss?" ”

The deal is huge. Governor Fernando did it. He made a windfall. Not only sell battleships to eat kickbacks. Moreover, some of these warships can also be reported to the Spanish government for war damage and maintenance costs.

The daily maintenance expenses of the battleship have been reduced, and it is completely possible to eat empty salaries into their own pockets.

It can be said that Governor Fernando just gave the battleship to Deng Haonan for nothing, and he can still eat empty salary!

The problem was that Governor Fernando wanted to make more profits, so he wouldn't budge. After all, he thinks that Deng Haonan will also go back and report to the Ming government at a high price. Then eat the profit difference in the middle. He thought that Deng Haonan could make greater profits, and his heart was unbalanced.

This made Deng Haonan bitter. Originally, I thought that the fake Qincha could easily obtain a battleship, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap of the bureaucracy, so I could only insist on it at this time.

At this time, Governor Fernando suddenly had an idea and asked, "Didn't Lord Deng capture the Buddha Immortal?" Have you ever caught General Van Witt? ”

Deng Haonan did not know his intentions. But still nodded.

"Great!"

Governor Fernando shouted. Deng Haonan was taken aback.

"Lord Deng, if you can hand over the Buddha Immortal and General Fan Weite to me. I am willing to give you twenty frigates! ”

Deng Haonan smiled and shook his head, secretly saying in his heart Are you an idiot when you are Lao Tzu? But he said: "One luxurious Uh-Buddha Immortal is enough to withstand your twenty frigates!" In addition, I have informed the Dutch East India Company that they should bring a million taels of silver to ransom them! ”

"What? A million taels? Governor Fernando was shocked, shook his head suddenly, and said, "The Dutch will never spend so much money to ransom people!" ”

Deng Haonan also knew that the Dutch might not take money to ransom people, so he immediately smiled and said: "I don't plan to get a million taels of silver!" You can still negotiate with them, but 500,000 taels should be no problem! The Dutch made it back by robbing a ship of your national treasure. Therefore this quid pro quo of yours is not of equal value! ”

As soon as he heard Deng Haonan say that the Dutch had robbed their treasure ship, Governor Fernando calmed down and said angrily: "Damn the Dutch! If it weren't for them, I would have made at least a few million taels of silver by now! ”

It turned out that the Netherlands had blocked the Strait of Malacca since the construction of a city in Batavia. Several of Governor Fernando's cargo ships went missing near Malacca, and the cargo arrived in Europe as soon as it arrived. Naturally worth several million taels of silver.

Deng Haonan said: "I understand your mood at the moment! And: Xun: "As long as the price you offer is reasonable, I can consider handing over the more than 100 crew members of Fan Weite to the Governor for disposal!" ”

He actually captured more than 700 Dutch sailors? Governor Fernando looked at Deng Haonan in surprise, according to his idea, it was already very difficult to catch a Rear Admiral Van Weit, and he could catch so many Dutch sailors, it is conceivable that the battle at that time was definitely Na Haonan who crushed the Dutch fleet with overwhelming warships. Then besieged the Uhfo Immortal and forced Van Weit to surrender.

Sure enough, the Ming Empire is unfathomable!

Governor Fernando then said, "Allow me to think about it! ”

This reflection of Governor Fernando. But it took a long time.

First, he took Deng Haonan to visit Bashi Fortress and talked about topics that had nothing to do with negotiations.

Deng Haonan knew that bureaucrats in various countries had a common problem, that is, no matter what they talked about, they had to use the word "procrastination." And the official who is the best at "procrastinating", the higher his official promotion, the more open he is in the officialdom.

Soon, at noon, Governor Fernando hosted a banquet for Deng Haonan and his men.

At the banquet, Emma, the wife of Governor Fernando, was also present.

Came into the world. It was the first time Deng Haonan had seen his family members attend a formal banquet, and the Ming Dynasty had strict levels of men and women, so it was impossible for women to serve at the wine table. However, this is a Spanish colony. The Spaniards, however, did not have this rule. According to the custom of the Spanish aristocracy, they liked to bring their wives out to show off.

After Governor Fernando's introduction, Deng Haonan and Emma greeted each other.

I saw Emma with a golden shawl hair. Sapphire eyes, crystal clear.

Dressed in a black evening dress, half of her chest and snow-white shoulders were exposed. Plus a ruby necklace around the neck. It adds to the temperament and charm of her as a noblewoman.

What a glamorous lady!

The name Emma is rare among Spaniards. Na Haonan asked casually.

Governor Fernando then explained.

It turned out that Emma's mother was Scottish. Hence the British name.

Deng Haonan asked in English. Sure enough, Emma understood, and immediately felt much closer to Deng Haonan.

Governor Fernando saw that Deng Haonan could speak English. was surprised, and was even more impressed by Deng Haonan.

After the luncheon, Governor Fernando still didn't talk about business, and continued to take Deng Haonan around to visit the castle. And the governor's wife, Emma, replaced the translator and acted as an interpreter between Deng Haonan and Governor Fernando.

Deng Haonan was not interested in visiting the castle, but he was accompanied by a beautiful governor's wife, and he didn't feel tired anymore.

Soon, Deng Haonan became acquainted with Emma, and he had nothing to say

Deng Haonan and Emma talked about a lot of topics, and Emma saw that Di Haonan was not very old and heroic, and occasionally talked about some erotic jokes intentionally or unintentionally, or touched Deng Haonan with his body, which made Deng Haonan's heart suddenly itch.

It's good not to worry that Governor Fernando knows, because he doesn't know English.

Looking at the lady beside him, the smell of mature woman's flesh wafted into Deng Haonan's mouth and nose, which made Deng Haonan's heart suddenly feel different.

And Emma's husband is right next to her. Emma's body touched Deng Haonan from time to time, and Governor Fernando couldn't see it, Deng Haonan felt that he and Emma were cheating in front of her husband, which made Deng Haonan scared. Excited again.

And so the afternoon passed.

In the evening, Governor Fernando once again held a welcome dinner for Deng Haonan. This. Governor Fernando invited a number of high-ranking Spanish officials and their wives to accompany them, and the atmosphere was warm for a while.

Deng Haonan wanted to continue to negotiate the purchase of ships, but Governor Fernando always diverged the topic and did not discuss the purchase of ships. At the moment, I knew in my heart that this guy was comparing his endurance with himself, and if he took the initiative to talk about it again, I was afraid that Deng Haonan would be anxious. Let Governor Fernando have a chance.

At that moment, Deng Haonan stopped asking. I just drink and eat food, and talk about other topics that I can't touch.

During the banquet, Emma was sandwiched between Deng Haonan and Governor Fernando, and continued to be her turning officer. At the same time, he kept urging them both to drink, and Governor Fernando was obviously very willing to treat his wife, and never bothered to save her face, and soon drank one cup after another.

Deng Haonan's side was also not spared, probably because Emma was the only one here who could talk directly to Deng Haonan, and Deng Haonan felt comfortable that he didn't need to go through the doctor. Or maybe they were teased by the noble and charming lady in front of them for an afternoon, and they knew each other very well.

In short, Deng Haonan usually pays attention to temperance drinking. At this time, I drank a little too much. Coupled with the Spanish wine, Deng Haonan was a little drunk after a few drinks.

In the yellow light, the wine glass is reflected. The atmosphere of the dinner party with a group of noble ladies was lively.

Soon, everyone couldn't drink anymore. When Governor Fernando was drunk on the wine table, the other officials and wives helped their husbands to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, Emma ordered his men to send Governor Fernando back to his room.

Deng Haonan's head was groggy. Hurriedly said goodbye to Emma. As soon as he got up, his legs were weak, and his arms tried to hold on to the chair, but they failed, and his body fell towards Emma.

Although Emma also drank a lot, she was persuaded to drink, but at this time she was free to move.

Squatted down violently to support Deng Haonan's body. He hugged Deng Haonan with both hands and said softly: "It's late at night." Why don't you stay? ”

Deng Haonan happened to fall into Emma's arms. The head rested on the soft chest of this noble woman, and the fragrance came. Obsessive.
