Faced with his own question, Thomas smiled very proudly, and then said: "Since I guessed their plan, of course I will not fall into their trap and let them use my handle as an arrow." The order I gave was to mobilize all the warships and go to a decisive battle with the fleet of the Song Empire. ”

Thomas's wife let out a long sigh of relief when she heard his answer.

At this time, the maids who were originally around were waved away by Thomas.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about being listened to by other people.

"You're right, it's unforgivable that these guys want to take your words and use them as their talisman, if you say anything about surrendering, then you won't have a good time in the future."

Although Thomas's wife is a woman, she knows this very well.

"I'm not that stupid, impossible." , Thomas said.

His wife then frowned together, and said to him worriedly: "But you yourself said, now we don't have the strength to fight with the Song Empire's fleet, after all, most of our warships have been transferred back to the mainland, and they are caught in the naval battle on the other side of the North Sea, so it is impossible for us to even count on reinforcements now." Since this is the case, we still have to fight the fleet of the Song Empire, will this anger them? ”

Thomas's wife was worried about something else, after all, it was impossible to do anything now, and it would be no good to be tough.

What we have to do now is very simple, that is, to find a way to protect ourselves.

And this order given by her husband will deeply anger the Song Empire fleet, and her husband's life will not be so easy at that time.

Especially now that the entire Dutch colony has lost its strength to resist because of the destruction of the power of the sea. This is like a beautiful girl who is as beautiful as a flower, and she is already standing in front of the strong man of the Song Empire, and it depends entirely on how people treat 'her'.

If you don't resist. Perhaps a person in a high position like her husband would still receive preferential treatment after the war.

But if you continue to resist and cause great losses to the fleet of the Song Empire, then you will be mistreated by the enemy after the war.

This is something that must be seriously considered.

"My order is just an excuse, those warships already have a different kind of thought, and it is difficult to say whether they will carry out my order or not. They are not fools, even if they are assembled with the only warships, they cannot be the opponent of the Song Empire's fleet, if someone really does this, it is actually no different from looking for death. ”

Thomas thought about it for a moment. Spoke out to his wife.

"People, no one is looking for death, and who doesn't want to live a little longer. Since these captains already have the intention of surrendering, then they will not carry out my order if they think about it, and after they go back now, they will immediately send their henchmen to contact the people of the Song Empire. ”

Thomas said with a squint.

"My dear, you also have to go and get in touch with the people of the Song Empire. Although our fleet is no match for them, we are also not without the ability to fight back. So we still have some chips in our hands. Even if the people of the Song Empire don't look down on it, we still have a chance to talk to them, don't we? ”

"Since those captains will have secret contact with the people of the Song Empire, then we can do the same. There are some things that we can't say on the surface, but we can make an agreement with the other party in private. As long as the other party's conditions are favorable, then when they occupy the colony, they will also face less resistance, right? ”

Thomas's wife suggested.

Thomas nodded: "I have already thought of this, I have sent the old butler out just now. His task is to secretly contact the Song Empire, but I'm not sure what conditions the Song Empire will give. ”

Yes, Thomas didn't have a clue about it. Because although he still has some chips in his hand, the weight of those chips is not very important.

The people of the Song Empire can't look at it, he really doesn't know what to do.

Besides, even if they encounter resistance, the people of the Song Empire are not vegetarians.

It is a well-established fact that the army is very strong.

Therefore, Thomas didn't think that if anyone dared to resist, it would bring much harm to the Song Empire.

"Do you know that after the Song Empire occupied the Spanish colonies, it slaughtered a large number of dangerous people? And even the Spanish garrison was killed, they were really ruthless. ”

In the Spanish colonies occupied by the Song Empire's fleet, some rumors spread to the various colonies in the Caribbean.

The appearance of these rumors, in addition to causing panic among the people, also made everyone see the ruthless side of the Song Empire.

Of course, this rumor will unite the military and civilians of some colonies, and bring them a lot of resistance to occupy these colonies.

But there was another aspect that Chelsea couldn't have imagined, that is, when facing the garrison of the Song Empire, all the people in the colonies became very honest.

Because they know that the garrisons of the Song Empire are not talking, they can really do something to slaughter.

Therefore, no one dares to cause trouble.

After occupying the colonies in the northern Caribbean, the 27,000 Chinese and genetic people in Manhattan began to enter the occupied colonies one after another on French merchant ships, and the arrival of these genetic people with weapons made the colonies even more stable.

There were not many Chinese immigrants in a colony, 1,000 people.

Although it is not very large in numbers, it is basically on par with the Spaniards.

As for the indigenous Maya or Incas, there is no need to worry too much.

For these people, it doesn't matter who is the ruler, they don't care.

Moreover, the new ruler was obviously easier to deal with and easier to talk to than the Spaniards.

At the same time, these people still have money, so the Chinese people are more popular with the indigenous people.

With the support of the natives, the Spaniards could not make any big waves.

So, as long as the Spaniards were controlled, the colony would be basically stable.

Coupled with the ruthless rumors, those remaining Spaniards will not cause trouble for the sake of their own lives.

For a time, in the Spanish colonies occupied by the Song Empire, the Spaniards, who were originally high-minded, were suddenly reduced to a third-class class, and even the natives were inferior to their existence.

And those natives who have been oppressed by the Spaniards can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, so what about the Spaniards.

Supervising the Spaniards with the Bumiputera was a strategy that Chelsea agreed to and which now seems to have been quite successful.

Of course, the Dutch know this kind of thing.

From the treatment of the Spaniards, they more or less had the sadness of the death of rabbits and foxes, because they did not know whether the Dutch would become the same tragic existence as the Spaniards after the Ludao Empire conquered the Dutch colonies.

After all, the Dutch in the Dutch colony did not bully the natives less.

However, the Dutch had no choice but to do so, as they were too weak to resist the invading Song fleet.

In the face of the invading Song Empire, the Dutch's Caribbean colonies had become completely undefended.

As soon as the fleet of the Song Empire arrived, it would be easy to capture these colonies.

Of course, there may be battles within the city, but in the end they are nothing more than redundant.

"The people of the Song Empire are really ruthless, and they can handle so many people, aren't they afraid that after doing this kind of thing, they will never conquer various colonies so easily in the future. Because of what they do, everyone will be worried that they will slaughter themselves after they take the city. ”

Thomas's wife was puzzled and expressed her doubts.

When Thomas heard this, he said, "It's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not, it's all from the Spanish colonies." It's hard to say that the Song Empire didn't do this, but it's not impossible that those Spaniards deliberately passed it on like this. I don't think the people of the Song Empire would be so stupid, they wouldn't do it. ”

Thomas hesitated to say what he thought.

In fact, he himself didn't know whether he should believe this rumor or not.

You say believe it, but this massacre is too brutal.

No one would do something like this in Europe.

Therefore, the Song Empire, an empire with a higher level of civilization than Europe, would not have done so.

But if you don't believe it, but this rumor has a nose and an eye.

In fact, I don't know who came out of this rumor, and Chelsea also received this rumor.

What they did at the beginning was very secretive, and even the bodies of those people were well buried.

They really couldn't imagine how they were exposed.

In any case, such a means played a non-negligible role in stabilizing the Spanish colonies.

Now that such rumors have flowed out, it seems that such a method should be restrained as much as possible and can no longer be used.

"Everything will wait for the butler to come back, it's just a rumor, don't we think about ourselves because of this rumor?" , Thomas said to his wife in a faint voice.

Yes, is it just because of this rumor that he Thomas has to fight to the death with the Song Empire.

Besides, even if it's a dead knock, he Thomas doesn't have the capital to die hard.

Therefore, everything can only depend on the will of God. (To be continued.) )
