"Your Majesty, the Governor of Luzon of Spain salutes you." In the palatial main cabin, Hechagin took off his triangular hat and bowed to Zhu Jun on the throne.

Zhu Jun moved the real guy this time, wearing the official crown dress of the Ming Dynasty, sitting on the chair steadily, looking at Hechajin with his eyes, I saw that he was only about forty years old, with a thin body, blue eyes and red hair, and two slightly upturned mustaches at the corners of his lips, he nodded and said, "Excuse me!" ”

As Zhu Jun's Western adviser, Arms hurriedly translated, Hechajin nodded, straightened his waist, and really said that Zhu Jun didn't like to be polite, so he said the meaning of this time: "Your Majesty, have you heard that your general is fighting against the Dutch?" ”

After Arms translated Spanish into Chinese, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be stunned, when did he send someone to beat the Dutch? There were people dressed as pirates to attack the Spaniards. However, he soon understood that the General Nine Achievements in the mouth of the Spanish governor were the national hero Zheng Chenggong.

Although Zheng Chenggong was not under the jurisdiction of Zhu Jun, in order to win the hearts of the people, he still fought against the Dutch in Taiwan under the banner of the king of Yanping County of the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, of course Zhu Jun will not be stupid enough to debunk this matter, at least it is good, not to let the Spaniards underestimate him, and he will be able to gain more benefits in the negotiations later.

"The Dutch occupy Taiwan, the treasure island of China, and deceive the people, although my strength is not good, I will send a general to hang the people and expel the Heyi." Zhu Jun put up a shelf, grandma's, isn't there still a Zheng Chenggong in Lao Tzu? Now Zheng Chenggong is rampage on the southeast coast, although he has little to do with himself, but his face is still rising.

After listening carefully to Ames's Spanish paraphrase, Hechagin couldn't help but admire Zhu Jun even more, and secretly thought that the Orientals were really modest, and sending a general would be able to beat the Dutch, who was known as the coachman of the sea, all over the ground and claimed that his strength was not good.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch are also enemies of Spain, and Spain is willing to fight the Dutch together with Your Majesty, this is our letter." As he spoke, Echakin took out a piece of national credentials in the form of a cantata and handed it to Ams, who stepped forward and handed it to Zhu Jun.

The letter of state was written in Chinese, and the Spaniards had wasted a lot of effort, Zhu Jun opened it and saw only seven or eight cooperation matters, including limited military alliances, free trade, and so on.

Taking advantage of this effort, Zhu Jun began to sort out his thoughts, first of all, the news from Spain was that the Dutch might launch an attack on the Spanish colony, and the Spaniards mistakenly thought that Zheng Chenggong was their own subordinates who overestimated their own strength, so there was this unique meeting and this seemingly equal contract, Zhu Jun already had a rough charter in his heart, and the Dutch and Spaniards did not care about it, although his strategic goal was to defeat Spain first and occupy Luzon, But with his current strength, it obviously takes a long time to achieve, and now it's better to sign this contract first, and make more profits, anyway, the contract is like a bitch, whoever wants to go on it, and kick it away when it's useless.

"Mr. Governor, I am not interested in these terms." Zhu Jun threw the contract on the table indifferently, and continued with a disdainful expression: "Although I am not strong, I don't need to unite with your country to deal with the Dutch on this South Sea, as for this so-called free trade agreement, it is even more empty talk, now that Luzon pirates are rampant, Mr. Governor, do you think there is still free trade in Luzon?" ”

"This ......" Khachagin was speechless for a while, he saw Zhu Jun's determined look, and when he talked about the powerful Dutchman, Ichakin was even more convinced that Zhu Jun was strong and worthy of an alliance.

"The Spaniards have always admired the richness and strength of the Ming Dynasty, and are very happy to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, and besides, Luzon is only one of Spain's overseas colonies, and Spain's strength in the whole world is still very strong, and it will be of great benefit to you to have such a strong ally." Khachakin's situation was very passive.

Zhu Jun pursed his lips contemptuously and said, "Spain is very powerful, I believe, but this should be before the destruction of the Spanish Armada, Mr. Governor, why deceive me?" ”

Khchagin couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that this Eastern Emperor knew so well about the far West, so he had to say, "Then what do you say?" We are very sincere in our alliance with your country, and I am personally very happy to be friends with Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Jun tapped his fingers on the armchair with a difficult face: "In this case, I still have a few conditions. ”

"Please make it clear to Your Majesty, and I will do my best to meet your request." Hechagin saw the light and couldn't help but cheer up.

"I've heard that the Spanish artillery is pretty sharp, and that I'm pretty useful against the Dutch, so I wonder if your country would be willing to send some craftsmen to me to try out a few for me?" In addition, in order to open up the sea passage between Luzon and the outside world, I plan to set up a convoy in Luzon, which can protect the passage of merchants and travelers, and secondly, to deter pirates, Mr. Governor, what do you think? ”

The establishment of a convoy is very beneficial to Luzon, Luzon was originally an island, many luxury goods and even daily necessities must be transported by sea to the maritime merchants, since the appearance of this group of pirates, the price of Luzon has soared to several times and dozens of times, some natives who can not survive are ready to move, there is a great possibility of starting a riot, the governor of Luzon is sad about this, Zhu Jun is naturally good news since he wants to establish a convoy.

Although Hechagin regarded the Dutch as the primary enemy, the Ming Dynasty would also become a potential opponent in the future, and sending craftsmen in the past was undoubtedly equivalent to the transfer of Spanish-related artillery technology, which was very detrimental to the future of Spain. Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty defeated the Portuguese decades ago, it captured a large number of artillery, and I heard that the artillery was also improved, and its performance was sharper than that of the Portuguese at that time.

"Will the Governor refuse?" Zhu Jun saw that Hechakin's face was uncertain, and said coldly: "That being the case, I can also capture the Dutch artillery in Taiwan for research, but this matter of peace talks, let's put it aside for the time being, and then talk about it." ”

"Well, I agree with Your Majesty." Echakin nodded helplessly and agreed, this peace talks involve the safety of Luzon, if the loss of Luzon not only makes Spain lose a rich colony, but also means that Spain loses the last foothold in the South Seas, although the technology of artillery will allow Spain to establish a strong enemy in the South Seas, but it is only possible, who can say clearly in the future, now the most important thing is to ensure the safety of Luzon.

"Your Majesty, can we sign a contract now?"

After finalizing the backbone of the contract, the two sides began to argue over the details, and Echakin was also ruthless, in order to sign the contract as soon as possible, and for fear that the content of the contract would endanger Spain's national interests, he simply lived on the ship and stalked.

After the contract was signed, Zhu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he only waited for Ma Ren, who went to Manila, to recruit the shipwright, and then pull a ticket to make the Spanish artillery craftsmen to load the ship and return to the sea, with these talents, the shipyard business will be a matter of course.

Zhu Jun stayed in the port for a few more days, and many local merchants had heard the news about the contract, and some keen businessmen immediately realized the business opportunity and asked to meet Zhu Jun to join the convoy.

As soon as the maritime merchants were quiet, news came from among the maritime merchants that a maritime merchant named Ma Ren had joined the convoy and had begun to sell his property in Luzon and planned to move his family to southern Burma with the convoy.

Ma Ren is a large maritime merchant in Luzon, and he is quite famous within the maritime business, after the news came out, the maritime merchants are even more discussed, and they feel that it is profitable to join the escort team, but Zhu Jun is real, and those maritime merchants are all rejected to join the escort fleet, the way to do business is unheard of, where anyone will turn away the business, for a while, the news of the escort fleet has become the focus of discussion among the local businessmen in Luzon after dinner.

At the beginning, some people thought that Ma Ren was a little stupid, in order to join the escort team, there was no need to move his family at all, and his ancestors had lost their family business for decades.

Later, some maritime merchants came back to their senses, this Ma Ren has been in business for more than ten years, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so stupid, is there anything wrong with this? As a result, the eyes of the maritime merchants began to focus on Ma Ren's body, just to see whether this Ma Ren was discerning or crazy.
