In the land of Europe, the first to ransom prisoners of war were nobles and prefects of all ranks, and the last were ordinary soldiers, and if there was no money to redeem them in the end, these ordinary soldiers would be abandoned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the victorious side is extremely protective of the nobles and the governors at all levels, for the last large ransom, as for the ordinary soldiers, that is, not many people care, if there is a ransom, they will be released, and if there is no ransom, they will turn into their own mercenaries to strengthen their own strength, if there is really no money to hire, it will become hard labor.

And what the two of them heard here was that the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty had executed all their nobles and officers, and they had to think of ransom for any nobles.

"God will punish you for being so tyrannical." Diego was a little anxious when he heard this, the commander of the fleet and some of the captains were all famous Spanish nobles, and they were all famous in front of the king, and now they were beheaded here, they really couldn't accept it.

"Oh," Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows indifferently, "since your God has turned a blind eye to your slaughter of tens of millions of Native Americans, I think he has lost the qualification to judge goodness. ”

Zhao Lie looked at each other sarcastically, what kind of god is just putting on a reasonable and legitimate cloak for their bloody colonization under the banner of religion.

Diego was immediately remarkable, and he also understood the sharpness of Zhao Lie's words, what you say to people who don't understand it is reasonable, but for those who know the inside story, this lie can be broken as soon as it is poked.

"My lord, aren't you afraid that the emperor of your country will be angry with you by killing you?"

Tusmi scoffed at the Spaniards' use of religion everywhere, which the Dutch East India Company had never done, and was too hypocritical.

Tusmi wanted to take advantage of the deep fear of the emperor among the officials of the ancient empire.

"You can go to Jingshi immediately to file a complaint, and Ben will never stop you." Zhao Lie spread his hands, these two Xiyi people didn't understand his relationship with the imperial court at all, it was really unclear.

Santos hurriedly whispered to them, this Zhao Lie's general soldier is in Denglai, and now he has a powerful sailor and infantry army, and the Ming court has nothing to do with him, that is to say, if you go to Beijing to file a complaint, even if the Ming Dynasty adopts your proposal, there is nothing you can do about the lord in front of you.

In fact, Tusmi is a lie, the Ming court and their Dutch people have been fighting in the Formosa Sea for nearly ten years, hating them to the core, and seeing them eat deflated must be a clapping of applause.

After listening to Santos's explanation, the two of them roughly figured out that in front of their feelings, this lord and nobleman was already a separatist party, and even the Ming Emperor was helpless against him, thinking about it, if Zhao Lie did not have such strength, how could he sweep away the powerful fleet of the coalition in one fell swoop.

"Ahem, this chief soldier, I see that we both have a misunderstanding, we are here to negotiate the ransom of sailors."

After listening to it, Diego immediately changed his emphasis, and his performance made Zhao Da and Yu Dabao both smile a little, and the corners of their mouths turned up slightly.

Zhao Lie looked at the clumsy performance of the two opposites, and was extremely disdainful in his heart, the colonizer is so strong outside, if you are strong, he will be soft, if it is a loose native, they are swords, guns and artillery, wanton killing and enslaving, if it is a powerful opponent like Daming, then you can soften it and wait for opportunities in the future.

Of course, the pursuit of money is the eternal motivation of the colonists, and the desire for wealth such as the Ming Dynasty will never disappear, and they can wait for hundreds of years to have sufficient strength before they can do it.

"These prices are non-negotiable, and if you can't wait for the money, Ben will drive them to mine and build roads and farm."

Zhao Lie waved his hand, who has the time to wait for the ink with you.

Zhao Lie ate them, you must know that these soldiers are killed, they all have to pay a pension of silver taels, and the transfer of manpower from Europe here is even more costly, and the matter, the two superpositions are far higher than the price he offered, of course, thirty taels per person, here is more than 200,000 taels of silver, and they feel pain when they take it out at once.

Even if they don't care about the money, thousands of people are transported to the Far East, and the recovery of these two colonies is too slow, and the natives below or the Portuguese who have been overwhelmed by the Dutch may launch a counterattack, which is unbearable in either place.

"Lord Commander, are these ransoms too much, you must know that we in Manila will not be able to get those silver for a while."

Diego pretended to be pitiful, and he frowned in embarrassment.

It's a pity that no one appreciates his superb performance, and Zhao Lie was unmoved, "This is the final bargain that is not negotiable." ”

"My lord, if it's twenty-one soldiers, we can call the shots first, my lord, look...

Tusmi cares more about money, after all, he is not the governor directly under the kingdom, but the East India Company, and everything looks at money.

Zhao Lie looked at them, the meaning was obvious, less nonsense.

"Then I can only go back and report to the Governor, and he will make a decision."

Diego said half-truthfully, of course he could only repay this amount like this, but he still hoped that Zhao Lie would be moved by his words, and in order to prevent accidents, he would set it earlier.

It's a pity that Zhao Lie was unmoved,

"In that case, you should return to the garrison first, and report to your superiors, these soldiers will let them mine and build roads first, and wait for your good news."

Diego and Tusmi felt bitter in their hearts, well, this Ming man really didn't care about this matter, they all worked in vain, they really hurryed, or God knows how many surviving soldiers they would have when they returned in a few months.

"Since it comes to turning back your colony, well, I heard that you are extremely unfriendly to the local Chinese, and even brutal killings."

Zhao Lie stared at Diego.

Thanks to the explosion of Internet knowledge in later generations, Zhao Lie knew that there had been several massacres of the Ming people in the history of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, but he could not remember the specific date.

Diego squeezed out a smile on his stiff face, he knew his own affairs, and Manila was planning to do something to Akito in the recent period, of course, this process was interrupted by this naval battle.

But this plan has been going on for a long time, and he is really a little afraid of the Ming general in front of him, and he is simply a hole in the situation in Manila, how can he not let them be afraid.

"We, the Manila city government, treat Chinese and locals equally, and there is no killing."

But his stiff smile and slightly trembling voice made Zhao Lie suspicious.

Zhao Lie stared at Diego in front of him for a long time, and Diego was like sitting on pins and needles.

Zhao Lie thought about it carefully, could it be such a coincidence, looking at the reaction of the Spaniard on the other side, it seems that Manila is really unfavorable to the local Ming people.

But what can he do, now the situation inside the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more urgent, it is impossible for him to send a large army to Manila, the fleet is easy to say, it can be dispatched at any time, but the infantry army cannot leave lightly now.

So how to deal with the persecution of the Ming people by these Xiyi people, this is a problem.

"Since the two of you are about to return, I will personally see them off tomorrow and let them watch a good show. Let's send it off. ”

Zhao Lie motioned for the guards to send people out, and Diego and Tusmi were inexplicably sent out of the official office.

At the end of the next morning, Diego and Tusmi were invited to the colonel of the Shidao military camp.

When they boarded the Dianjiang platform in the Grand Colonel, Zhao Lie and a hundred guards were already waiting there.

Seeing these two people coming, Zhao Lie arched his hand, greeted these two people, and then nodded to Huang Han.

A majestic horn sounded, and the roar of the horse army charging into the distance was heard, and in the banner, a large number of cavalry urged the war horses to gallop over.

They lined up in an extremely neat shock formation, the armor on their bodies exuded a dark luster, and the cavalry guns in their hands converged into a forest of guns.

Boom, boom, boom, this cavalry army of more than 4,000 people roared to the front line of the point general, their face armor was all put down, tigers, leopards, wolf dragons, and even the face armor of the Hades ghost was put down, and their hideous faces looked at the two Xiyi people.

The two of them were beating faster and sweating all over, this all-armored cavalry was difficult for them to defeat, at least their cavalry couldn't do it, after all, their cavalry was too few, each only more than a thousand people, of course, the only thing they could be fortunate about was that their mixed infantry formation could repel this cavalry, after all, their infantry formation had a large number of muskets and spears.

Boom, boom, the sound of neat footsteps sounded, and under the guidance of the red battle flag, more than 6,000 soldiers who had been trained from the Denglai Reserve Army were walking towards the Dianjiangtai.

They lined up in a neat battle formation like slashing and axes, singing majestic war songs, and marching forward with invincible momentum.

Boom, boom, the footsteps of the soldiers seemed to knock on the hearts and lungs of the two, making their faces pale and trembling, this huge military formation they estimated that the garrisons of Luzon and Batavia could not resist at all, after all, after the defeat of this war, their old foundation was empty, and the fleet and infantry army would never recover without ten years of glory.

When the army of more than 10,000 people reorganized the army opposite the Dianjiangtai, Huang Han waved his arms in advance and shouted, "The lord is victorious, and the captives are victorious." ”

"The lord wins, the army wins, the army wins, the victory, the victory, the victory."

The last Wan Sheng shouted, all the soldiers stood up and looked straight ahead, and there was almost no sound in the entire array, only the sound of the battle flag hunting.

"When you go back, inform your governor and board of directors that you must treat the Han people well, and if you dare to slaughter and plunder the Han people, this strong army is prepared for them."

Zhao Lie pointed at the cold and glittering array with his hand, and Diego and Tusmi could only nod their heads, speechless.

After Diego, Tusmi and others returned to Luzon and Batavia, they spread the prestige of the Broken Prisoners and the Infantry Army far and wide, and all attempts against the Chinese were temporarily silenced. (To be continued.) )
