Chapter 1048: History Continues to Crook (2)
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you want to ...... with us and the Ming people", although Vlar heard what the Chen clan patriarch meant, but he pretended to be confused here, as if he didn't understand death at all, and he also made a 'unit' gesture, looking at the Chen clan patriarch with an inquiring expression.
Cunning guys!
Seeing that Vlaar was pretending to be confused, the patriarch of the Chen clan couldn't help but curse in his heart.
But you, the patriarch of the Chen clan, also understand that now he really has to negotiate this matter with Vlar. It's not a small matter for the natives to riot.
So, he can't afford to take it lightly.
If the natives make trouble, there is really no way to deal with the natives just by relying on the Ming people here.
Therefore, it has become inevitable to unite with the Franco.
Besides, didn't he come to Vlaar this time to talk about it?
Otherwise, what else is he doing here, is it really just to ventilate the news?
Joke!
He is the patriarch of the Chen clan, but he doesn't have this leisure.
"Lord Governor, the old decay really has this meaning."
The patriarch of the Chen clan is no longer beating around the bush.
Vlaar groaned for a moment, but his mind was still open.
This old man has come to me to unite against a possible indigenous rebellion, which is a good thing for us Spaniards.
After all, the Ming people have a large population, and if they really have their help, it is impossible for the natives to make any big waves.
But the problem is that the Ming people already control the economy here, and if they are given military power, they will not be able to lose it.
What if the problem of the natives is solved and the trouble of the Ming people arises?
It's not impossible.
In a short period of time, Vlaar thought about a lot of problems, and for a while he seemed a little embarrassed.
On the one hand, he hoped to accept the proposal and cooperate against the natives.
But on the other hand. He was also worried that after defeating the natives, the Ming people would be even more terrifying than the natives after they rose.
Ah!
How can this be done?
Vlaar was in a quandary.
Vlaar didn't know what to do, but in normal history, the indigenous rebellion here in Manila was driven by the Spaniards, and the target was the local Chinese.
Because the Chinese have a lot of wealth in their hands and control the local economy.
So, this alerted the Spaniards and made them see the danger.
The Spaniards' way of dealing with danger was to use the local natives as knives. to loot the Chinese.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary is actually the Spaniards.
In addition, Nanyang is too far away from the European mainland, so there is always a sense of unease in the psychology of the Spaniards who live and control it.
So, if something happens, they will definitely have to remove the threat to be at ease.
However, today's history has been greatly deviated, and even completely distorted.
Right now. The Spaniards are befriending the Ming people, hoping to return to the Ming Empire and become the subjects under their rule. So, here in Nanyang, they won't make a move on the Ming people.
But even so, the inertia of history has led to a crisis.
But. This crisis may seem dangerous, but it is actually easy to solve.
Without the support of the Spaniards, the natives could not have made any waves.
The Spaniards and the Chinese, who should have been subordinate to the hostile relationship in history, actually discussed uniting at this time. Together, we must fight against the local indigenous people.
This has to be said to be a bit of fun.
It can also be seen from this that after changing history, although history wants to forcibly put the crooked track on the right path. But it seems a little powerless.
The natives could not have dealt with the combination of the Spaniards and the Ming, even though the natives here in Manila used cold weapons, not stone tools like their southern tribesmen.
At the very least, the Spanish phalanx and muskets were a weapon of mass destruction for the local natives.
At the same time, the natives did not know what tactics were or what strategy was.
The battles of the natives were basically a swarm of rushing and killing, which was useless for the Ming and Spaniards who knew how to fight.
Of particular importance was the fact that when the Spanish invaded South America, they accumulated a great deal of real experience in the tropical jungle. The Mayans, who were even more ferocious than the natives of the South Seas, were defeated by them, and what were these natives of the South Seas?
Moreover, the Ming people will not have any discomfort when fighting in the tropical jungle. After all, they have all lived here for two or three generations and are used to the environment.
So, when the Ming and the Spaniards were united, the natives weren't necessarily so terrible.
Even, it is the indigenous people who should be afraid.
It's just that all these ideas must be based on the cooperation between the Spaniards and the Ming people.
If Vlar and the old patriarch of the Chen clan can't talk properly, then everything will be in a flash.
Now Vlaar had in mind the worst-case scenario, which was to cooperate with the Ming people against the natives who were about to revolt, and once this matter was resolved, would the Ming people oppose the Spanish rule?
This is an issue that needs to be seriously considered and treated.
Anything can happen, it's really hard to say.
But with the imminent aboriginal riot in front of him, Vlaar also knew the seriousness of the matter.
If you are worried about the problems of the Ming people, then the indigenous people don't need to worry about it right now?
That's why he is so embarrassed.
"Patriarch, you sit here first, I need to think carefully before I can give you an answer."
Vlaar asked the Chen clan chief to sit down, and then instructed the guards to prepare some small snacks and bring them in.
The old patriarch of the Chen clan sat there, looking at Vlaar, and his heart began to ponder.
For Vlaar's reaction, in fact, the old patriarch of the Chen clan had already expected it.
He knew very well that he would never be able to negotiate with Vlaar immediately when he came to Vlaar to discuss this matter.
Because there are so many issues involved.
First of all, if you want to deal with indigenous people. The Spaniards had to at least support them, and they had to be armed with a handful of weapons.
If you don't have weapons, what's there to fight the natives?
You can't let these people fight the natives with their bare hands.
But after giving them weapons and solving the problem of the natives, the Spaniards were also very difficult.
The weapon that fell into the hands of the Ming people, can they still take it back?
Obviously this is not a realistic thing.
And the Ming people are also very large, and they have weapons in their hands, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have ambitions.
When the time comes, the natives will be solved, and the Ming people will become a threat again.
Basically. The old patriarch of the Chen clan guessed Vlaar's worries thoroughly.
As the so-called old people, spirits, ghosts and old spirits, the old patriarch of the Chen clan has lived for more than sixty years, and he has seen too many things.
At a glance, the crux of Vlaar's worries was clear.
However, the old patriarch of the Chen clan didn't think there was anything difficult about this.
Because he didn't feel that these people would be a threat to the Spaniards.
The reason is very simple, because the Ming people who live here in Nanyang have no interest in power, and all they care about is silver.
Besides, this side is already in the hands of the Spaniards. If they want to make enemies with the Spaniards and seize the power here, the Ming people will not do such a thing.
In the concept of the Ming people, they have a kind of obedience gene in their bones.
If it's not a last resort or can't survive. so that they will not make ill friends with others.
The Spaniards don't understand this, which is why they have such worries.
Besides, what's there to do here in Nanyang.
Even if the Akito seized the right here, so what?
Akito wasn't interested in this place at all. They just want to pay attention to the freight here in Manila and the money they can make here.
In this era, in fact, no one can see the benefits of Nanyang in the strict sense. In the eyes of many people, this is a barren land.
Even the Spaniards thought so.
However, the Spaniards, as a member of Europe, have been keen to occupy various island lands since the beginning of the Age of Discovery.
Even if it's a deserted island, they won't let it go.
This is actually a serious dick thinking and behavior.
Because the land of Europe is so barren, their desire for land can be said to be far greater than that of all the races of this era.
It is precisely for this reason that the Europeans had to occupy even if they found barren and barren land in the age of great exploration.
On the other hand, this is not the case with the Akito.
For a long time, the people of the Oriental continent lived in a continent with a lot of products, minerals and land, and they did not experience the barrenness of the Europeans.
As a result, the Ming people didn't have much idea about land expansion.
Seeing through this, the old patriarch of the Chen clan coughed, and then said to Vlaar, who came over: "Your Excellency, if the old man is not mistaken, is the matter you are worried about and considering in Manila?" ”
The old patriarch of the Chen clan had also been in contact with the Spaniards and the Dutch for some years, so he knew that if he wanted to deal with these people, it was best to have something to say.
Oriental conversation skills, Fan people are not used to or comprehend at all.
After hearing the words of the old patriarch of the Chen clan, Vlaar showed an embarrassed expression, but he fell silent without denying it.
The old patriarch of the Chen clan showed a kind smile on his face at this time, and continued: "Actually, the Governor doesn't have to worry about this problem at all, we Ming people are not as greedy as the natives, and at the same time, all we care about is making money......"
