In the eyes of the emissary, this is not inferior to the big ports of Spain, saying that this is a city managed by pirates?

Can you believe it?

The streets are lined with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which are guards dressed in white or sky blue, standing straight and holding muskets.

What surprised him even more was that there were many people with Spanish accents on the streets, and there was no fear or discrimination at all.

He came to Na Tu not only to negotiate with Wang Xuan for the release of the prisoners, but also to secretly observe the specific situation here.

At least, he had just arrived in this short period of time, and he was a little shocked by what he saw.

The envoy did not rush to talk to Wang Xuan about anything, but decided to stay here for two days to find out the news, and the more he knew, the more sure he was of negotiation.

There were dozens of large and small hotels in the city, and he found a relatively large one to live in.

In the evening, he decided to go to some of the larger taverns first, and each side was the most well-informed.

Looking up at a huge sign, 'Starlight Nightclub', the Courier nodded in satisfaction and walked inside.

I asked for a glass of whiskey, sat in the corner and began to taste it slowly, the price of the wine is relatively expensive, at least much more expensive than Spain, but it is not easy to taste such an authentic whisky in the New World!

While drinking, I listened to the talk of the people around me, almost all of them were some business matters, routes, prices, etc., and after listening to it for a while, I felt that it was really useless, so I called the waiter to come over, threw a gold coin and began to inquire about the situation.

The waiter's mouth grinned with an incomprehensible smile, and he answered whatever the other party asked, almost endlessly, after all, he didn't know how many times he answered these things!

After the messenger nodded in satisfaction, the waiter reported the news as soon as he returned.

In the entire port of Natsu, all the entertainment venues were opened by Wang Xuan, and all the staff were his people, and they also served as detectives outside of work.

It can be said that there is nothing in the entire Na Tou Harbor that Wang Xuan does not know!

Moreover, according to the content of the questioning of the inquiring person, everyone was marked with different ranks, and the messenger was undoubtedly the highest level, and he asked too many questions about naval battles, about warships, about pirates.

The messenger didn't know that he was targeted when he inquired about the news, and all the news he got was approved by Wang Xuan!

From this moment on, he was completely targeted.

Only a day later, his information was put on Wang Xuan's desk, and his general judgment came out.

Early in the morning of the third day, there was a knock on the door of the messenger's room, and several guards walked in directly, "Sir, our city lord invites you to go!" ”

"Your city lord? Who? ”

The messenger was stunned, and then figured it out, it must be Wang Xuan, and the one in this city who can command the guards and dare to call himself the city lord must be the one he negotiated!

It's just, how did the other party find out about himself, and he doesn't have anything worth noting?

With a question mark in his head, the messenger saw Wang Xuan, who was sitting on a rattan chair.

"Tell me, what are you Spaniards going to do?" Wang Xuan didn't say anything polite to the other party, no matter how polite and polite he was, it would eventually come down to the comparison of strength.

"Mr. Wang, can I know, how did you know that I came on behalf of the Spaniards?"

"In the whole Caribbean, all the wind and grass can't hide from me." Wang Xuan said incomprehensibly, "Okay, let's get down to business first, greet and be polite for a while, and be embarrassed when you turn your face for a while." ”

Wang Xuan choked the other party half to death with one sentence, he had experienced a lot of negotiations, and it was the first time he had met someone like Wang Xuan, and he had already planned to turn his face before he started talking......

But the more Wang Xuan is like this, the more the other party has to deal with it carefully, the purpose of his coming is to negotiate the release of these prisoners, this matter, not only the Spanish high-level is watching, but the military is also watching.

If the captives are not redeemed, then they will lose the hearts of the people, and who will dare to sell your life!

"I don't really have anything I need, these 4,000 people are strong laborers, I don't abuse them, they already save me a lot of money for their daily work, in fact, I want them to continue to work for me for free."

"Spain will not let its soldiers go unchecked."

bargained, ending with Wang Xuan asking for a large number of living supplies.

When the messenger went to pick up the people, there was a slight situation, and some of the captives were reluctant to return to Spain...... They would rather live in the port of Nazai!

At that time, joining the army was a last resort, and now it is not difficult to find a job here in Nata, and the salary is higher, why go back to Spain to become a soldier?

Country?

Hehe......

Patriotic education in Spain is not in place...... About 500 people chose to stay in Natsu!

The good news is that the more than 500 people don't have to pay, and the bad news is that the morale of the captives is even lower.

After seeing the major general again, the messenger got accurate news, and Wang Xuan's combat power now is not low.

1 battleship of the first class, 1 battleship of the second class, 7 ships of the third class, and 23 ships of the fourth class.

This kind of strength already has 15 of the combat power of the main fleet of the Spanish Wang Xuan Navy!

If Spain wants to win the war, it will have to do more!

This was raised at the meeting a month later.

Spain not only needed to maintain the problem of the New World, but also Africa and Southeast Asia also needed a large number of troops to maintain its position.

After the loss of the Caribbean detachment, Spain now only has 45 combat strength, and if other colonies are removed, only 35 will remain!

If you want to eat Wang Xuan in one bite without losing too much, then you have to send a more powerful force than Wang Xuan, how to mobilize!!

The Spaniards set their sights on the Dutch.

By this time, 40 years after the end of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, the trade volume of the British East India Company had to a certain extent exceeded and appropriated the income of the Dutch East India Company.

After the Dutch victory in the Third Anglo-Dutch War, some of the benefits gained began to be gradually lost, especially the losses in North America hurt the Dutch.

The Spaniards felt that they could convince the Dutch to pin down the British and make room for themselves, after all, if they rashly sent half of their own troops to raid the Caribbean, then it would take at least two months to go back and forth.

In the past two months, how to ensure the safety of one's coastal defense and trade routes has become a prerequisite for whether or not he can fight Wang Xuan.

From this decision was made, and a series of communications began between the Spaniards and the Dutch.

On the other side, Wang Xuan is also sending people to contact the Portuguese and the English, the two countries that have the greatest conflict with Spain.
