Chapter 1046: Your Excellency the Governor, the Natives Want to Riot (Three Watches!) )
Because of Zhao Hongyu's appearance, the history of this time and space has been completely distorted, and as the first Indians and Europeans to contact Zhao Hongyu, they have begun to taste the ups and downs of this change.
It's just that the life of Europeans is miserable compared to the Indians, who are now enjoying a happy life. Even the great Spanish Empire had fallen, and the Spaniards who had been displaced to the East were living in great trepidation.
So, Vlaar is not wrong at all, and they have only one way to go now. That is, after taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty and becoming a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you can continue to survive.
Otherwise, with the hundreds of thousands of Spaniards here in the South Seas, it would be very difficult for them to survive.
When they learned that their homeland had been destroyed, the six governors here in Nanyang also started a discussion about what the future of their people was.
There were several paths before them.
One was to gather all the ships out of the South Seas, pass through India, the Arabian Peninsula and Africa along the way, gather all the forces of the Spanish colonies, and then return to Europe to see if there was a chance to restore the country.
However, the road is very difficult and dangerous.
Because if they choose this path, it is basically a road of death and life.
First of all, they do not have supplies, not to mention logistics.
It is impossible for them to achieve the goal of recovering the country through a naval battle.
Portugal and France, on the other hand, occupied large tracts of land and received everything that the Spanish Empire had left behind.
So, they don't have much chance of winning at all.
At this point, the six governors dismissed this idea, and contacted their compatriots in India and the Arabian Peninsula and the African colonies, hoping that they would come to Nanyang and gather together for warmth.
It is for this reason. Nanyang will have a Spanish population of more than 100,000.
Because these people are all running from the colony.
Of course, now Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the colonial fortresses on the Indian side, they have not given up yet.
After all, there are a lot of supplies needed here in Nanyang, so they must keep trade open with them.
If these fortresses and colonies are abandoned, then they will not be able to support them here in the South Seas.
Speaking of which, this is also thanks to Portugal and France, as they blocked the Mediterranean Sea to Africa. Otherwise. The British fleet had long since slaughtered and turned the Spanish colonies and fortresses into their own.
At that time, the Spaniards had a hard time.
After some discussion, they finally felt that there was only one way they could choose, that is, to hold a thick thigh on the eastern side, and then they could survive for themselves and their companions.
The Ming Empire is a good choice, but also the only one.
It's just that they don't know if the Ming Empire will accept them, which is a very important question.
And. They also have no way to contact the high-level of the Ming Empire, which is also very embarrassing and headache.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong was the only person for them to contact the Ming Empire and test the attitude of the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
Except for Zheng Zhilong. They don't have a better choice, do they?
So, in such a situation, they don't believe Zheng Zhilong and have to believe him.
Because they don't have a choice.
Since they don't believe in Zheng Zhilong, can they have any other choice?
There's no more.
Tragedy of the Spaniards. That's where they are now.
Let's hope that the God they believe in will give them a glimmer of hope.
However, this matter is very suspenseful.
After all. God's 'shepherds' church these guys are still fighting in Europe with their power and Portugal. If God had really been that useful, then Portugal and France would not have destroyed the Spanish Empire.
After all, the Spanish Empire was the gold medal of the Church.
"Let's go, let's go back. Recently, the natives have been a little different, and we're going to have to monitor the local natives, and I don't know what these guys are going to do. ”
After seeing Zhang Xiu and their ships depart, Vlaar returned to the Doge's Palace with a group of men.
What he had told his subordinates earlier was that something was not quite right with the natives lately, and it wasn't something he had imagined out of thin air.
Because recently, the indigenous tribes around Manila are in tandem, and because he can't send people in, he can't know what these guys are going to do.
And this action of the natives immediately aroused his alarm.
What are these indigenous people going to do?
Even if the tribes are in normal contact, they will not be so dense.
At the same time, after frequent contact with these tribes, they are still very mysterious, and some things always have to be carried by people.
If there's no problem here, then there's really a ghost.
It's just that Vlaar doesn't have direct evidence that these natives are going to make trouble, so it's not easy for him to do it directly against the natives now.
Besides, here in Manila and Luzon today, there is a lot of time when these indigenous people are still needed.
Although these natives of the South Seas are lazy and greedy, they really can't do without them.
For example, some basic work must be done by these indigenous people.
Although the Chinese people under their rule can also use it, their population is too small after all.
Here in Luzon and Manila, the number of indigenous people is the largest.
Damn natives, what the hell are they going to do?
Back at the Doge's Palace, Vlaar walked into his office and sat down at his desk with a frown.
He's feeling exhausted right now, and sometimes he really wants to just leave and leave it alone.
However, this is just a casual thought, he can't do such a thing.
Ever since the fall of the Spanish Empire, Vlaar felt that his world had completely collapsed, and all the pressure was on him, making him miserable.
At the same time, there are constantly things to deal with here in Nanyang, indigenous. Huaxia, so he feels that he is really tired and tired.
Tuk tuk!
Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, there was a knock at the door.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the patriarch of the Chen clan of the Huaxia clan asks to see you."
The guard's voice rang out, allowing Vlaar to put his anger back.
When he heard that it was the clan patriarch of Huaxia descent who asked to see him, he didn't dare to slack off.
Not to mention that the Chinese controlled the economy and many commercial trades on the Manila side, just because he recently begged Zheng Zhilong to let him bring them to the Ming Dynasty to make them submit, he could not offend the Orientals here.
It's hard to know that everyone will be compatriots in the future, so you can't offend.
After all, I have been coming to the East for some years. He knew very well that if he offended the Chinese in Manila at this joint, it was likely to make Zheng Zhilong feel bad for himself.
When the time comes, if you want to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely become a mirror.
Therefore, he never dared to offend the Chinese here in Manila.
"Please! Please! ”
Putting away his bitter face, Vlar rubbed his face to try to look as normal as possible.
The gate opened, and the guards walked in. Then he stood sideways at the gate.
Immediately behind the guards came an old man in his sixties wearing a square scarf and a black shirt.
Needless to say, this is the patriarch of the Chinese family surnamed Chen here in Manila.
Chen's surname. In Manila, there is a large ethnic group, with a population of almost 5,000 people, which can be described as a large ethnic group. And the people surnamed Chen in this ethnic group will have a little bit of a relationship.
Therefore, they are very grouped when they do things locally. No one dares to bully.
The local natives once tried to bully them, but they were all cleaned up by these people.
Seeing that they couldn't take advantage of the Chinese, the natives restrained a lot.
As the Governor of the Manila Region. Vlaar is of course aware of the energy of the Chinese here, and at the same time deeply fears it.
Because it is very dangerous to have such a large and very united ethnic group under the rule of the Spaniards.
Not to mention that these people still control the region's economy.
This is also the reason why in normal history, Europeans always have to take advantage of the natives' constant bullying of China.
In addition to looting the wealth of the Chinese, there is also a desire to suppress the Chinese.
After all, natives are simple-minded and control them well.
But the Chinese are different.
The Chinese control the economy and are very cooperative, often living in ethnic groups. If something happens, the whole race will deal with it.
However, the history of this time and space has been deviated, so the Spaniards at this time are no longer like those Spaniards in normal history for the Chinese.
In this regard, I have to say that Zhao Hongyu seems to have done a good thing invisibly.
Because if he hadn't changed history, then according to the normal course of history, that is, a year's work, then there would have been a massacre of the Chinese here in Luzon and Manila.
And the dominant ones are the Spaniards, and the indigenous people they use them.
So much so that more than ten years later, that is, in 1640, after the Spaniards were driven out by the Dutch, the Dutch followed the example of the Spaniards again, and once again used the local natives to massacre China.
This is how the poor Chinese were bullied by the Europeans and the local natives in Nanyang. The wealth accumulated by the hard work of China was constantly taken away by the Europeans, and they would be slaughtered by the local natives.
But now, it's clear that such an event is unlikely.
At this time, the Spaniards were already toothless tigers, and after they went to the motherland as a backer, they were now in a panic, where would they have this mind to bully the Chinese.
What's more, the Spaniards still have the idea of repaying the thick thighs of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not offend the Chinese.
If they were to the detriment of the Chinese, then the Ming Dynasty would definitely not open the door to them.
When the time comes, they'll really stop cooking.
The Dutch were now not strong in the east, and there was no way to expel the Spaniards from the South Seas.
In the future, the coachman of the sea will not even have a shadow of the wheel.
In addition to the deviation of history, the Netherlands is not yet independent.
So, it's not certain that the sea coachman won't appear in the future.
It is important to know that when the Dutch expelled the Spaniards from the South Seas in the future, it was the period of the rise of the coachmen of the sea. At that time, the strength of the Dutch in the East was very strong.
But now...... Hehe, they're nowhere near that great.
Therefore, the Dutch are very envious of the Chinese who control the economy in Nanyang.
However, they did not dare to have any bad intentions.
After all, at the head of the Dutch, there is still a mountain that oppresses the Spaniards.
"Lord Governor, the little old man is polite."
After the white-bearded old man walked in, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
"Oh, respected patriarch, I wonder if there is anything important about your coming to see me today?"
Vlar walked over with a hypocritical smile on his face, and he also returned the salute with his hands in fists like the old man, but he, a Spaniard, did such a set of etiquette movements, which made people feel a little nondescript.
The patriarch of the Chen clan secretly cursed 'barbarian' in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.
"This time, the little old man came to meet the governor, but he had a big opinion to report. And this matter is related to the safety of you and my clansmen, and if one key is not handled well, it will cause a big disaster. ”
After the greetings, the patriarch of the Chen clan had a whole face, and his expression became extremely serious.
What the?
Woe to you!
Seeing that the patriarch of the Chen clan said so seriously, Vlar also felt a sudden burst in his heart.
According to what he knew about the Chinese, they didn't like to deceive people, and if the Chinese said that there was a big deal, then there must be a big deal, so he didn't get nervous.
In fact, Vlaar has such an idea, because he has too few Chinese contacts.
Otherwise, he will definitely know that if the Chinese deceive people, they will be able to deceive you and not even have your pants left.
At the same time, there is a saying in the East called 'alarmism'. If he knew this, he probably wouldn't be so nervous now.
But if the same Chinese is changed here, if the patriarch of the Chen clan says this, then the other party will definitely not be as nervous as Vlaar, and everything is reflected on his face, so that people can understand his current thoughts at a glance.
Fortunately, this Chen clan patriarch is not the kind of person who likes to be alarmist, and he really came to Vlaar this time to say something big to him.
"Old patriarch, what do you mean by that?"
When Vlaar's words come out, there is always a strange tone.
But it's okay, it can be understood.
Otherwise, it would be a difficult communication.
In the face of Vulard's inquiry, the patriarch of the Chen clan said seriously: "The old man has received accurate information that the local indigenous tribes are going to launch a riot......" (to be continued......
