"The Song Empire fortunately doesn't have a privateer license, otherwise I think we will never have peace in Europe. Because judging by the descriptions of the survivors, the strength of the Song Empire's fleet is definitely not something that the European fleet can compete with. ”

Vlaar didn't know what Zhang Xiu was thinking at this time, he was just expressing his opinion vigorously now.

As for Zhang Xiu, of course, he was also shocked by Vlar's description of the situation of the fleet of the Song Empire, and the whole person was stunned.

Because Zhang Xiu really couldn't imagine how big a warship it would take to load 108 guns. And what kind of situation will it be when such a warship sails and fights on the sea.

Oh my boy!

"Mr. Zhang, I'm very curious, why did your boss, Mr. Zheng Zhilong, become interested in the Americas and the Song Empire? Do you want to sail across the oceans and continue to be pirates in the waters of the Americas? ”

Vlaar finally couldn't help but ask the question.

In fact, he was very curious about this question.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to answer himself, Vlaar continued to say to himself: "If Mr. Zheng Zhilong really has such an idea, as a friend, I would like to say that it is very unwise. Not to mention the distance of the Americas, but the fact that your ships are not suitable for ocean voyages at all......"

Ghosts are your friends!

Who would be friends with a barbarian like you, you think it's beautiful, and you're quite good at putting gold on your face.

My boss looks down on you at all, okay, you guy still says it's a friend of my boss, I'll just spit on you.

Zhang Xiu looked at where Vlaar's mouth was closed one by one, and his heart was crooked.

At the same time, he kept complaining in his heart about Vlaar's behavior of claiming to be a friend.

"I don't know what my boss thinks as a subordinate, anyway, my boss asked me to ask someone, so I will follow his instructions to ask. As for what. I really don't know what to do. ”

Zhang Xiu shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out before saying to Vlaar.

Belch!

When Vlar heard this, Zhang Xiu didn't know why Zheng Zhilong was interested in America, and he was also stunned.

But he was relieved.

If Zheng Zhilong is really as he thinks, he is interested in the Americas and wants to send someone over there to be a pirate, then let him go.

After Zheng Zhilong lost a large number of ships and manpower during the voyage, he thought he would be honest.

This person always has to let him suffer a little loss and have a lesson, and he knows the weight of himself.

So. Vlaar didn't bother to care what Zheng Zhilong meant, it didn't have much to do with him.

Hey!

Even if Zheng Zhilong's luck allowed his fleet to reach the Americas, was the fleet of the Song Empire so easy to match?

Joke!

The power of the Song Empire's fleet has spread all over Europe.

Even for Europeans here in the East, it's thunderous.

Others don't know how powerful it is, but how could Vlar not know.

In the naval battle, the power of 108 guns was fired, as the Europeans who had already begun to carry out artillery tactics at sea. That's a lot clearer.

In particular, the guns of the Song Empire's warships had a long range, which could completely suppress the enemy.

Add in the speed of the opponent's warship...... Tut-tut, invincible.

It is not surprising that the Orientals do not know such a powerful way, because they have never seen such a naval battle like at all.

"Alright. Okay, let's not talk about that. Eat meat, drink wine, and I'll leave when it's done. ”

The goods have been delivered. Zheng Zhilong asked himself to inquire about the things he asked him to inquire about. So Zhang Xiu didn't want to stay here longer, it can be seen that Zhang Xiu really doesn't like it for here in Manila.

Leaving so soon?

Heard Zhang Xiu say this. Vlaar's eyes widened.

"Stay a few more days, why do you have to leave before you come." , Vlaar wanted to stay for a few days. However, his kindness was destined to come to naught, because Zhang Xiu didn't want to stay at all.

"Xie Lu, thank you for your kindness, I'll leave after eating this little thing and drinking wine, do you have anything you want me to bring to the boss?"

Zhang Xiu asked.

Yes!

Of course there are words!

Since Zhang Xiu didn't want to stay, of course Vlaar wouldn't force him to stay.

When he heard Zhang Xiu ask, he immediately said: "I don't know what I asked Boss Zheng to inquire about before, is there any news from Boss Zheng?" Those of us who have lost our motherland are really desperate now. ”

As soon as Vlar said this, Zhang Xiu immediately knew what he was asking.

Dare to be affectionate, what you are asking is to return to the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the fact that these Spaniards in Nanyang want to submit to the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the high-level of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group is well known.

For this reason, they also canceled the Spaniards.

The small country of Fanbang is barbarian, and now even the country has been destroyed, what qualifications do they have to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

To know the way, Da Ming is not for everyone.

Moreover, no one knows whether Zheng Zhilong really made the effort to do this, if Zheng Zhilong didn't have the strength to die, this matter would be very mysterious.

Even if Zheng Zhilong made a effort, if the bigwigs in the court did not agree to this matter, it would be useless.

And what the emperor means doesn't matter at all.

What matters is what the cabinet members mean, they say yes, that's what it really does.

"Are you talking about something to be attached?"

Zhang Xiu took a bite of braised beef, then raised his eyebrows and asked.

Vlaar is talking about submission, but Zhang Xiu is asking about attachment. Don't look at this word, the Tao in this is too big.

It's just that Vlar, who is not very proficient in Eastern culture and language, of course does not know the problem here.

He nodded: "Yes, we really want to submit to the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty makes us the subjects under its rule, then we are willing to sacrifice the six cities of Nanyang and guard this sea area for the Ming Dynasty." ”

At this point, Vlaar did not intend to hide it from Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu is also a Ming person. I can't say that they will still be compatriots of the same country in the future, at least that's what Vlaar thinks.

It's just that he doesn't know that these Ming people look down on them at all, and they despise them very much from the bottom of their hearts.

How can Gao Fushuai afford to look at dicks.

This is a normal thing.

"I'll go back and ask the boss about this, but you've been in our east for a lot of time, and you should know that this is not a trivial matter, although our family boss has the ability, but not everything can be done. For example, if you have more than 100,000 people to join you, at least those bigwigs in the court need to speak. ”

Zhang Xiu finished speaking. Vlaar nodded repeatedly.

He has been in the East for a few years, and of course he has studied the culture here in depth.

Therefore, he is still clear about the style of the Ming bureaucrats.

"I understand what you said, this time when I go back, I will ask my subordinates to bring some money to Boss Zheng, half of which is for Boss Zheng, and the rest is for Boss Zheng to dredge up those officials."

Vlaar is on the eastern side and has learned a trick, and that is to pay bribes.

In fact. This method is also very popular in Europe, but it is more elegant in the East.

Zhang Xiu smiled: "I will bring this to you, you can rest assured of this." I can't get along with this matter between you and the boss. ”

What Zhang Xiu said is also true. What kind of person and status is he, he can't get involved in this matter at all.

Vlaar didn't ask for anything, he just asked Zheng Zhilong to collect the money and do things.

Soon, Zhang Xiu finished eating.

He took his leave with Vlaar. He returned to the ship at the dock with his men.

By this time, the cargo on board had been unloaded and Vlar's payment had been delivered. At the same time, he asked Zhang Xiu to bring Zheng Zhilong the money and jewelry that he had bribed. They were all loaded onto the ship.

Raise the sails and anchor!

As Zhang Xiu boarded his ship, the sailors on the deck began to get busy.

The cloth sails on the poles slowly rose and opened, and the iron anchors in the water were slowly lifted by the winch.

Watching Zhang Xiu's ship leave Manila, Vlaar put away the smirk on his face.

A Spanish guard swordsman behind him asked in a low voice at this time, "Your Excellency the Governor, can Zheng Zhilong really be able to do this for us?" I'm always a little unsure in my heart, I'm worried that Zheng Zhilong won't do anything after receiving the money, if that's the case, we will suffer a lot. ”

Vlaar didn't look back, and the expression on his face didn't fluctuate.

When he heard this, he was silent for a moment before responding, "What else can we do?" The motherland is gone, we have all become wanderers, if we don't submit to the Ming Dynasty, we won't have any way out at all. Don't look at Nanyang here is still under our control, but if the natives here riot, what do you think we should do......"

Vlaar said much, much more.

The Spanish swordsman guards around him had ugly expressions on their faces.

Yes, the Governor is right, what else can they do now but believe in Zheng Zhilong?

They are already people who have lost their homeland, and there is no way to do it.

There are more than 100,000 compatriots here in Nanyang, but that's all they have to offer.

It's okay if there is no accident, but if there is an accident, what can they have?

You must know that among these hundreds of thousands of people, there are more than ordinary women and children.

The men who can fight are only a small part.

In the East, they don't have any say.

Therefore, if you want to survive well, you can only hug a thick thigh.

Here in the East, there is any thigh thicker than the Ming Empire.

Therefore, no matter what, they will also become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not have such a headache when the time comes. (To be continued......)
