Your Excellency Governor Motoloye, please do not forget that our relations with your country have been preserved in the South Seas, and as a testimony of friendship, it is only natural for the Ming to acquire a colony in South America in order to strengthen the ties between the two continents. Arms waved his fist indignantly accused, and there was a faint meaning in his words to use Luzon to force the other party to submit, there are many specialties in South America, although the emperor's order is to bring a batch of seeds back to cultivate, but it is still far from enough to form a rule, so in the near future, some necessary raw materials are still trafficked, plus the emperor has always hoped to gain a firm foothold in South America, therefore, Arms's mission is to try to get a colonial base in South America, the place does not need to be too big, and it is also possible to get a port, of course, Arms will not show his hole cards until the critical moment.

"Your Excellency, your request is too much, we can give you what you need, but without the permission of His Royal Highness the King, I have no right to cut out the land, I hope you can understand, and please greet His Majesty the Emperor Ming on my behalf." Motoloye's tone softened a lot, Luzon was basically barely maintained under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, if he turned his face on the spot, I am afraid that Spain would lose not only an ally, but a base in the South Seas, which is not good for him, although the tone is better, but it does not mean that he will give in, once a piece of land is given out, then the Ming will be able to gain a firm foothold in Central and South America, ten years, maybe a hundred years later, with the influence of the Ming Dynasty, maybe the entire America is likely to form the Netherlands, Spain, The three-legged situation of the Ming Dynasty, out of thin air, has an extra strong competitor, which is absolutely intolerable for Motoloye, who knows what the relationship between Spain and the Ming will look like in dozens or hundreds of years?

"Your Excellency the Governor.

Although Ames is a Spaniard, he did not hesitate to stand opposite the Spanish governor at this time, and he slapped the table vividly: "I want to protest to you, I am here on behalf of the powerful Ming Emperor and the invincible Ming fleet, I hope you can clearly retain Luzon, give your country the right to trade, and ......" Ames interjected here and paused here, and began to throw out his killer idea: "You must know that the warships and muskets needed for your country's war in Europe were purchased from the Ming Dynasty, The Ming has the heart to give all the help to the allies, even weapons, but what you have done has deeply pierced the heart of a Ming envoy and I have to wonder if there should be restrictions in arms deals with your country. ”

Motoloye finally frowned, in fact, as a sunset empire, the once prominent Spain is not in immediate decline, and the big empire still leaves a wide colony on the five continents, however, the empire does not have enough strength to defend them, especially Spain has been mired in a huge war, which makes all the countries of Europe exhausted, but both sides of the camp are struggling to support, not because they are enthusiastic about the war but because anyone sees the hope of victory, All the royal families want to get their fair share of the booty, and they have invested too much, a lot of gold, tens of thousands of soldiers, and they must recoup their capital, not their capital and profits, so continue the war, otherwise it will be a halfway >The investment in the power of the country is equivalent to a waste, and for Spain to continue the war, it must buy ships and weapons from the Ming Dynasty.

This is really an embarrassing thing, three or four years ago, the Spaniards just entered the beginning of the war, the Ming began to sell all kinds of huge warships and exquisite muskets and artillery to the countries in the alliance at a very low price, in order to win the war, the countries did not hesitate to close all the arms factories, a large number of skilled workers began to lose their jobs, some of them have already devoted themselves to another industry after three or four years to forget all about the original skills, and more skilled workers sat on the ferry of the voyage, They knew that there was a great recruitment of skilled craftsmen in that fabled land of gold, and that the salary was as high as five silver coins a month, and if it was done long enough, even six or seven silver coins would not be a problem, and there, they would not be discriminated against, and the Spaniards would even be close vassals of the emperor, and you could be one of them as long as you had the skill

Three or four years of hard work is enough for the entire military industrial system to be quickly forgotten in the unknown corner, a large number of talents began to drain, and even the craftsmen who repair broken warships in the dockyard are difficult to find, if the Ming Dynasty imposes some kind of trade ban on Spain, Motoloye can almost expect that the Portuguese can easily enter their territory, control their seas, and even, the distant colonies can not be preserved, as for Spain and the Ming Dynasty after the war with the Dutch alliance, this is simply it

Tan, perhaps the French could have such a choice, but as the Dutch and their old enemy, joining the Dutch alliance was almost automatically disarming, and the Portuguese were anxious to wage a war of revenge against the Kingdom of Spain, while the Dutch had always had an extremely strong interest in Spain's overseas colonies, and they would rather have a hostile Spain than a Spain as their ally.

Motoloye's lips trembled, and he groaned in pain, he really didn't want to give Daming a piece of land, even if he didn't want to, but the reality told him that if the declining Spain wants to continue to influence the world, if it wants to defend its once glorious victory, it must rely on the influence of Daming, and now Spain can't even make a giant warship independently, if it is abandoned by Daming, the consequences are of course very clear to Motoloye.

"Your Excellency, I smell a threat, and I don't think you, as an ally, should speak to me with such inappropriate words." Motoloye protested solemnly, and then softened his tone: "Of course, my friend, I will consider your proposal, but it all takes time, doesn't it?" ”

Motoloye suddenly sensed that there seemed to be some kind of conspiracy on the part of the Ming Dynasty to sell arms to Spain at low prices. Spain, which had lost its ordnance manufacturing industry, was able to buy enough warships, artillery, and muskets at low prices. But it doesn't seem to be any stronger than it used to be. Opposite. It seems to be somewhat weakened. At least for Da Ming. Spain is completely at the mercy of the other side.

But the matter is irreparable. He could not help but weigh the reality of the problem at hand.

"Good ground. Your Excellency the Governor-General. Know that you will agree. I apologize to you. Perhaps there is something presumptuous in my words. But trust me. There was absolutely no threat in our conversation. We're allies, aren't we? Arms smiled reservedly and continued to ask, "Your Excellency the Governor." When will you be able to decide? To know. It's not easy for us to come here. I hope you'll be able to do it faster. Well. To know. I brought two thousand adventurers. These barbarians will not be willing to leave the land without enough gold. They must help your Excellency cleanse several of the native tribes. Ha ha. ”

Arms' laughter harshly snarled Motolo. As for the landing of the Adventurer's Cleaning Department, he didn't have much of an opinion. There are so many local tribes. And the colonists could only occupy the fortress. All the white people live in the city. The out-of-town tribes were divided into two by the Spaniards. One is to pay a certain property on time as a tax tribe. These tribes are not subject to raids by adventurers or armies. The other is a hostile tribe.

Motoloye pondered for a moment: "Please give me three days." ”

For the next three days, Arms spent the next three days in New Cigo. These days. The Ming army began to purchase a large number of local specialties needed by the emperor. Three days later. When Arms entered the Doge's Palace. Governor Motoloye pointed to an island and told him, "Oh." We call it Chiloe Island. It is the largest island in western South America. It is only a few dozen nautical miles from the mainland. The area is equivalent to half of Luzon. Enough for your country to build ports and cities and trade here. Right now. They are your land. ”

Arms immediately began to look at a simple map, the island was occupied by the Spaniards in 1567, the land area is very large, the Spaniards have established two port cities here Ancud and Castro, the Spaniards obviously want the Ming to be as far away from their South America as possible, so they would rather give them a large island than cut a piece of port land in a coastal city on the mainland, Arms made a map of the map: "Then, Your Excellency, sign the order, I will go to the island with your orders and my fleet, receive it there. ”

Governor Motoloye blew his beard and glared at him as he handed a document that had been prepared to Ames: "Alright, Your Excellency, you have finally got your wish, I hope you have a good time on that island, and there are several large tribes of natives on that island, you can destroy them." ”

Arms shrugged: "I wish they had enough gold, I've heard that each of these natives has enough gold to live a good life for a few years." ”

Motoloye pouted and smiled, "Not necessarily, because our army has already visited them a few times, and I don't think they have much to offer to comfort you." ”

Arms rolled up the papers and stuffed them under his armpits: "Then I must go back and get ready, may God wish us good luck." ”
