"I've seen Your Highness."

After Wang Shan's introduction, Rano respectfully gave a noble salute.

Zhao Hongyu gestured for a moment, and then spoke: "This gentleman, you said that you are a friend of Pedro, and you want to see me I don't know what is going on?" ”

Rano stood there and replied with a smile on his face, "Because of what you said to Pedro yesterday, I have to come and see you, Your Highness." ”

Interesting, the other party seems to be very direct.

Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Then you just say it, we don't need to beat around the bush, that's too troublesome, isn't it." ”

Rano nodded: "That's true, there's no point in hiding it, I came here this time to know about Lu Dao, Your Highness, you know about our affairs, and what did you say to Pedro for?" Rano had a lot of questions in his mind, and now he was going to ask them all.

Zhao Hongyu said: "What, is my approach confusing you?" If that's what you think, I should tell the Lisbon officials about all of you, and then they should send law enforcement officers to arrest you. ”

Rano put his right hand on his lower abdomen, bowed and said, "According to common sense, this is indeed normal. But Your Highness didn't do that, and said some strange things to Pedro, so we're really a little confused. If it's convenient, I would be grateful if Your Highness could solve this puzzle for me. ”

Zhao Hongyu sat behind his desk and looked at Rano carefully.

Dressed in tattered clothes, and with the toes of his shoes exposed, it can be seen that Rano's life is not very good.

But when Rano saw him, he behaved very well. It can be said that it is impossible to do this without special training.

From this point of view, it can be inferred that this man named Rano is also a down-and-out nobleman.

"Your Highness. The Rano Salar Norsteinman family is also an old Portuguese aristocracy. The original title was Count, and like the Pedro family, it was a major problem for the Spaniards. ”

Wang Shan bent down at this time and whispered to Zhao Hongyu about Lano's family information.

This information is all inquired about by Wang Shan in Lisbon these days, and I have to say that Wang Shan has an amazing talent for intelligence gathering.

Not only Rano, but all the members of the Satdarus Knights, Wang Shan has some information.

It's not that detailed, though. But it's not enough to say that the eyes are black.

"Rano, I want to ask you, did you organize the small organization of the Knights of Sadarus just to rob homes and then distribute the looted wealth to the poor? Don't you have a higher ideal? ”

After listening to Wang Shan's whispered report, Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth and said loudly to Rano.

"Your Highness, I am just a down-and-out noble kid now, and I can only do this with my current ability. People, to have a clear understanding of their position, is not a good thing. ”

Rano replied.

Rano's answer, Zhao Hongyu, was not very satisfied. This guy is as slippery as a loach.

Sure enough, YY's novel is not credible, and he doesn't have any domineering spirit, so it's impossible for people to bow their heads at first sight.

After sighing in his heart, Zhao Hongyu looked at Rano seriously: "The purpose of your knight order is very good. It's a thief. But I don't think you can go on like this, and you will inevitably be exterminated by the Spaniards at the end of the day. ”

Zhao Hongyu said this very seriously, and Rano himself admitted it in his heart.

"Your Highness, what can be done then? That's what we're capable of. Rano nodded slowly.

Zhao Hongyu sat behind his desk, looked at Rano and said, "Haven't you thought about it?" Unite all the Portuguese, who have suffered unfairly, against the tyranny of the Spaniards? Instead of you fighting and becoming robbers, I think the rebellion can help more people. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Rano raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongyu with shining eyes.

"Your Highness, how much is capable of doing most things. It's not that we haven't thought about the uprising, but all those ordinary people want is a stable life, and I don't think they will start with us. Lano also seriously answered Zhao Hongyu's question. Besides, if we rise up and resist, how long do you think we will be able to hold out without weapons and food. ”

What Rano said was a real problem, and it was impossible not to think about it.

Yes, the people at the bottom don't care who rules the country, they just want a stable life to be able to eat a full stomach.

Only the aristocracy will not rest on their laurels and want to restore their former glory.

Therefore, without the support of a large number of people at the bottom, it is simply a joke to want to rebel against the Spaniards.

Besides, these disgruntled aristocrats have lost their land and wealth. They could not organize a decent contingent to fight the Spaniards.

It's like Rano said to Zhao Hongyu, without weapons and food, how can they resist the Spaniards.

This is very unrealistic.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "I see the problem very clearly, not bad." ”

"Your Highness, you didn't say that to Pedro to encourage him or us to rebel against the Spaniards." , Rano looked at Zhao Hongyu like an idiot.

Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders: "Why not, it depends on whether you have the courage or not." If I say that I will provide you with excellent weapons and enough food for you to fight the Spaniards, I wonder if you are interested. ”

"What good can you do?" , Rano is not a fool, he does not believe that this crown prince will make a loss-making business.

Zhao Hongyu saw Lano's heartbeat, so he said to Lano: "Of course, there are many benefits, but there is no conflict with you." Our goal is the Spanish colonies of Central America, and you will restore Portuguese territory with my support, even defeating the Spaniards and destroying them. ”

Rano felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Americas was not only an idiot, but also a madman.

How could the Spanish Empire be defeated if it was defeated, how could it be so easy.

Don't look at the upper lip and touch the lower lip to say that it's easy, but it's not so easy to do.

All aspects of this must be taken into account.

Quite simply, even with the supply of weapons and food, how many people at the bottom are willing to rise up and resist?

It's an unknown.

If the people at the bottom don't rise up to resist, then their plan is a fart.

It's not even a fart.

Spain, on the other hand, had more than a dozen legions, was larger than Portugal, and had a larger population than Portugal.

All things considered, what this highness from the Americas envisioned is not so reliable.

"Don't look at me like an idiot, if things are not done, there will be no results, and don't jump to conclusions too early." , Zhao Hongyu, who was very unhappy by Lano's gaze, opened his mouth and said loudly to Lano. "And I'm not asking you to organize your men to come out against the Spaniards right away."

Wang Shan left Zhao Hongyu's side at this time, walked up to Rano and said, "We have a plan here, which can allow you to recruit people to incite the Portuguese people to stand up against the Spaniards. We can also hire a mercenary army of around 5,000 men to support you in your fight against the Spaniards. ”

In fact, Zhao Hongyu has a series of complete ideas about this plan, and what they lack is only the object of support.

"What are we for?"

Rano asked, curiously.

It would be false to say that Rano was not impressed, after all, his ancestors were nobles, and now he will fall because of the Spaniards.

Therefore, the resentment against the Spaniards in the bottom of my heart is very heavy.

If this were not the case, he would not have secretly organized a knight order to come out and raid the Spaniards.

And the members of the Knights, basically thinking and encountering the same as Rano and Pedro.

And Pedro also thought about revolting against the Spanish rule.

Otherwise, he and his companions would not have distributed all the loot to the poor peasants.

The reason why he did such a thing was to gain a good reputation in order to attract more people to join him and make himself more powerful.

Unfortunately, he did this to the poor peasants, who were happy to receive his money. But these low-level citizens have their own rules of survival.

They take the property, but if they follow Rano and they go to rob, then there is no need to talk about it.

Because everyone knows that there is no way out of being robbers, and the Spaniards will not let them go.

Therefore, Rano's plan is not ideal.

As a result, his earlier ideals slowly faded.

However, in order to maintain his reputation, he had to continue to loot and distribute his goods to the poor.

He even had to live a life of poverty in order to get support for himself.

In this regard, some people in the group have begun to waver, which is a very bad phenomenon.

I met Zhao Hongyu today, although he was moved by what he said.

But it also made him more cautious.

In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no reason for hate for no reason, he still knows the Tao.

Portugal is not big, but the bandit group is not just them, why did Zhao Hongyu choose them?

Besides, it is not impossible for organizations to openly oppose Spain, and it is not their turn to be favored at all.

These are all things that puzzle Rano.

If he didn't figure it out, Rano felt that he couldn't cooperate with this highness from the Americas. (To be continued.) )
