Baptista shouted: "Bairns, you said it lightly, you don't know how crazy the Ming army's offensive is after you leave, the Ming army generals mobilized almost all the artillery and rockets to the southern city in one breath, and launched an attack without stopping, the city wall of Dasmarinias is like paper paste, most of the cities are bamboo and wood houses, in just a few hours, the city wall of the southern city was bombarded by the artillery fire of the Ming army, the fire in the city was raging, the city wall collapsed, the Ming army swarmed up, and it was impossible to hold on to it......"

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Davis shouted, "Now is not the time to quarrel, we are all in danger, and you still have the heart to absolve yourself of responsibility?" If there are no countermeasures, the whole of Luzon will not be saved! ”

Baptista stopped arguing with Bynesden and turned back.

"Davis, what's going on in Manila Bay right now?"

Baptista asked urgently.

Davis said abruptly, "What can it be?" Now the Bataan Peninsula has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army, the Ming army is increasing troops and artillery on the Bataan Peninsula, once the Ming army deploys the artillery group on the Bataan Peninsula, it will attack our fleet and Corregido Island from the Bataan Peninsula, and if we take Corregidor Island, then our Spanish fleet will be blocked in Manila Bay, and at that time, we will only have the whole army annihilated......"

Baptista said abruptly: "Davis, Luzon Island is already undefendable, it will undoubtedly fall, what we have to do now is to preserve our strength, we must prepare early, now the Ming army must be on the way to Manila, three days at most, if it is fast, we can arrive at the city of Manila tomorrow evening or the day after tomorrow, when the 30,000 Ming army elites will surround us, without the Ming army fleet to dispatch, Manila will have to be burned......"

Why didn't Davis understand?

While the three of them were worried, a guard hurriedly ran in and saluted: "Lord Governor, General Bapp, the Netherlands has sent an envoy to ask for an audience outside the door!" ”

Davis's heart was shocked, Batavia is coming? That's great!

"Quick, please come in, Mr. Envoy!"

It didn't take long for Kluivert to enter the hall, bow slightly, and say, "Kluivert has seen Mr. Count!" ”

Davis hurriedly stood up and said urgently: "Mr. Kluivert hasn't seen him for a long time, and this time Mr. Kluivert is here to ......"

Kluivert said in a deep voice: "Mr. Earl, now that the matter is urgent, I won't talk nonsense, the Ming Empire sent troops this time, not only to exterminate the Spaniards, they are planning to drive all the strength of the West out of the South Seas, no one can escape, and the only way to solve it now is for the four of us to join forces to fight against the Ming Empire!" ”

Davis hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes!" It's just, it's just ......"

Davis didn't say the next words, he didn't have the face to say ah, in just half a month, the Spaniards were already in a desperate situation on Luzon......

Kluivert smiled and said: "Mr. Earl, I don't need you to say, I am already aware of the current situation facing Luzon, otherwise I would not sneak into Manila, it is obvious that Luzon has fallen into a huge crisis, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, please Mr. Earl prepare early......"

Kluivert's meaning is obvious, that is, Luzon Island can't be defended, rather than burning jade, it is better to temporarily preserve strength, first avoid its edge, and then say, thirty-six strategies, go is the best policy!

Davis smiled bitterly, "Mr. Kluivert, you think I don't want to go?" It's just that now the periphery of Manila Bay is full of warships of the Ming fleet, and the Bataan Peninsula has also fallen into the hands of the Ming army, even if we want to go, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, as long as the Ming fleet blocks the exit of Manila Bay, unless we have wings, we can't get out at all......"

Kluivert said in a deep voice, "What if our Dutch fleet meets you on the periphery?" So, there's always a chance for you to get out, right? ”

Davis was shocked and asked, "Kluivert, you, you mean, your country's fleet will help us break out of the encirclement??" ”

Kluywedt nodded and said: "Yes, our Dutch fleet is now less than six hundred miles away from Manila Bay, and it will arrive at Manila Bay in two days at most, when the time comes, General Soria will personally lead the fleet to attack the Ming fleet and attract the attention of the Ming fleet, this is your only chance to break out of Manila Bay, you must seize it!" ”

"Definitely, definitely! Thank you, Mr. Kluivert, and thank you, Count Cohen! ”

Davis was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Cohen would take the initiative to rescue the Spaniards this time, which was so touching to himself......

"But ......"

Kluivert looked at Davis with a smile and said, "Count Davis, what you did to help Yizhou before was a bit unauthentic, one million taels of silver, you really opened your mouth......"

Davis's heart jumped, his face was bitter, now the handle fell into the hands of Cohen, one million taels of silver, that's not a small amount, it's very hot! Since you were blackmailing others with conditions at that time, you have to give others an explanation today, right?

"Mr. Kluivert, don't talk nonsense, this matter, Ben Jue is indeed confused for a while, one million taels of silver bills, Ben Jue will exchange it for you, no, Ben Jue took out another 500,000 taels of silver silver tickets as an apology!"

Davis said hurriedly.

However, Kluivert did not reply, still looking at Davis, obviously, Kluivert was very dissatisfied with this result, and he did not blame Kluivert for being dissatisfied, when you were asked to save the Dutch of three or four thousand people in Yizhou, you extorted us one million taels of silver, and now your entire Spanish strength in Nanyang is in danger, will you just take out 500,000 taels of silver and send us a meal?

Davis's face turned red, gritted his teeth, and then said, "No, Benjue is willing to take out another two million taels of silver......

"That's it!"

Kluivert did a good job, and when he saw that Davis had softened, it was not easy to be sorry for himself, after all, the two countries still had to join forces to deal with the Ming Empire, because this matter made a disagreement, and the gain outweighed the loss.

"Count Davis, forget about this matter, you only need to return us to get one million taels of silver, and at the same time take out another million taels of silver, even if we settle this matter, we will work together to deal with the Ming Empire!"

Belch......

The momentum in Davis's heart has finally landed, fortunately, fortunately, the Dutch did not have a lion to open his mouth, otherwise, it would really not end well......
