Chapter 279: The Cunning Mingren

Oraza was furious.

But that doesn't mean he'll get carried away with anger.

Franco's words pierced his heart.

Those lowland guys have already given the great king a big headache, if he provokes another dragon in the east, will his majesty spare himself?

In the blink of an eye, Oraza had already made up his mind.

This battle cannot be fought under any circumstances, let alone fought by oneself.

"So what do you say?" Having calmed down, Oraza asked Franco again for his opinion. "Besides, if I don't know, I'll shove a chair into your mouth!"

"The best thing to do is to let them recycle the grain."

"But in that case—" Oraza stopped halfway through his words.

It's a shame to say that.

Franco silently added in his heart.

"Is there no other way?" Oraza asked unrelentingly.

"That depends on the attitude of Nicholas Yiguan."

"You go to him and go with gifts. Probe his tone, and if there is really no room for reversal, then make another plan. ”

"Okay, then."

Franco was reluctant, but had to agree.

He can see that this Oraza is a typical vegetable and fun-loving, and he told people that he was good at the beginning, but he had to break the contract. Now that people are calling, they have to admit it. Why do you say you're messing with people?

Franco took a boat all the way to the mouth of Manila Bay and was taken to see Zheng Zhilong.

"Zheng Zongbing, hello!"

"What's good? What do you say about food? What about Oraza? Why didn't he come out? Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened, and he had no intention of being polite.

"The Governor is not feeling well, so he sent me to negotiate with you."

"I don't see what to negotiate with. You bought 2 million acres of grain from each acre, and we collected 400 catties of grain per acre. It is clearly signed in black and white, and with the signature and handprint of your governor.

Now that the harvest time has passed for half a month, your rice has not been harvested yet? How? Ready to rot in the ground? I've told Your Majesty the good news, and now the people in the country are waiting for food, and you tell me that the harvest hasn't been harvested yet? Are you a liar? Do you think I'm a bully Zheng Zhilong? Yes? ”

Zheng Zhilong, who had been aggrieved for many days, sprayed Franco with a bloody head in one go.

"Rest your anger! Zheng Zongbing is angry! Franco wiped the spit from his face and said with a forced smile. That is true. We really hadn't harvested it the last time you sent someone to ask, but it's all done now. In the past two years, disasters have occurred frequently in various parts of Luzon, and the people can no longer live happily. Our governor has pity on these natives who don't have enough to eat, so I want to ask General Zheng to be accommodating, can we come to harvest this season's grain in the next harvest season? ”

"Your slaves have nothing to eat?"

"Not a slave, a lost lamb who needs our direction."

"Having food can save lives?"

"Yes!"

"So you want to let us recycle it next harvest?"

"Yes!"

"How much did you drink?"

"Huh? The little one didn't drink. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about here without drinking? You slaves in Luzon have nothing to eat, what does it have to do with me? Your slaves don't have anything to eat, that's your problem. If we hadn't been kind enough to sell you seeds, you would have eaten! I'll tell you explicitly! This grain must be given to us, and if we don't give it, we will rob it! You don't even think about getting a penny! Zheng Zhilong squirted at Franco again.

Franco couldn't even lift his head, and his heart was extremely angry.

What is the difference between robbing if you don't sell it and robbing it?

After thinking about it, isn't this Zheng Zhilong a robber?

"Zheng Zongbing, do you think this will work? Harvest less per acre, 200 catties is okay? You have a lot of adults, can you leave us a way to live? ”

"I won't tell you, don't say that one acre of land is less than 200 catties, our Majesty said it before I came. If there is one liter or one bucket of this food, I will have to go back to the countryside and farm! What would you do if it were you? I'm telling you, it's good that I'm here now, and if I really anger Your Majesty, believe it or not, I'll drive you out of Luzon immediately? ”

"Faith, faith, faith!"

Franco nodded repeatedly, but he didn't think so.

"Don't talk nonsense, you just give a happy word, hand! Still don't pay!? ”

"Chief Zheng, I have to go back to tell the governor about this matter."

"Alright, you can go back. I'll wait for you two more hours. ”

"Chief soldier Xie Zheng."

"You're welcome." Zheng Zhilong nodded with a smile and sent Franco out, and then looked at Gan Xu beside him. "Gan Xu, send someone to tell Zheng Zhifeng that in a quarter of an hour, kill all the people on Correcido Island!"

"Huh? Didn't you say two hours? ”

"But aren't the first two hours of the hour coming?"

"Will Ozala bounce back?"

"Bounce? That's best, Your Majesty said, if Ozala dares to resist this time, he will directly drive them out of Luzon! I'd like to see if Oraza dares to pull out all his galleons and fight me!" ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled coldly, he knew very well the form that Spain was facing at this time, a Netherlands was about to exhaust them, and they were against Daming at the door of Daming? Do they dare?

A quarter of an hour later, fifty warships besieging Corregido opened fire on the garrison on the island. The few garrisons on the island trembled under the artillery fire, and after several rounds of artillery fire, Zheng Zhifeng's men went ashore and killed the survivors one by one, including Karles.

Franco hadn't gone far on the boat when he heard the sound of cannon fire behind him. He looked back in the direction of Corregidor Island.

Finished!

The Ming army attacked.

Oraza, who was sitting in the governor's palace, also faintly heard the sound of artillery outside.

He scrambled to his feet from his chair.

"What sound?"

"It's like the sound of cannons." A servant replied cautiously.

"Who's firing the cannon?"

Oraza subconsciously asked again, but this time the servant did not answer.

We're in the same room, you don't know I'll know?

Oraza walked briskly out to the upper floors of the Governor's Palace, looking in the direction from which the cannon was fired.

At this glance, he knew that he was not an illusion, but someone was really firing a cannon!

And from the direction where the smoke rises, it is its own island of Corregido.

Don't think about it, there is no doubt that it must be Zheng Zhilong.

It's too much of a deception!

Oraza gritted his teeth and walked down the castle.

"Pass my orders, all the soldiers assemble at the docks!"

He felt that Zheng Zhilong was crazy, and he really dared to beat himself! If he doesn't fight back after being beaten, where will his face go?

He personally stood on the dock and commanded, and groups of heavily armed soldiers began to board the battleship.

"Lord Governor, are we going to fight against the Ming?" A high-ranking officer ran up to Oraza and asked.

"Yes." Oraza originally wanted to reprimand him, but it seemed that he was a peninsular nobleman, and he was also a direct descendant of the Duke of Alva, so his tone softened.

"This dozen, what about our business?" The aristocratic boy asked a sharp question.

He asked Oraza at this question.

In the past few years, the business with Daming has been getting bigger and bigger, and the money is naturally not less, if this battle is fought, I am afraid that the business will not be done, and the business will not be able to make money. Can the aristocrats who have taken a stake in the business be able to let themselves go?

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

For a moment, Oraza was in a tangle. I fully understand what it means to ride a tiger.

Just then, Franco's voice came and relieved him.

"Your Excellency! You can't send troops! The Ming people are deliberately provoking us, just to unite with the Netherlands to drive us out of Luzon! ”

"What!?" Not only Oraza, but everyone present was shocked. I didn't expect Akito to be so ambitious.

"Is that true?" Oraza asked with a flustered expression.

"It's true!" Franco nodded in the affirmative. In fact, he doesn't know whether it's true or not, because he made it up. "I went to see Nicholas Yiguan this time, and found that his attitude was very tough, not only scolded me for a dog's blood, but also said that there should be no shortage of grain that should be harvested!

Governor, think about it, why are the Ming people's actions so abnormal, it's just food, they have money, where can't they buy it? Do you have to use hundreds of warships to ask for it? Aren't they trying to provoke us with their repeated provocations? We are in breach of contract first, and if we fight back, I am afraid we will face a catastrophe. The devil knows what kind of agreement Daming and the despicable ghosts of the Netherlands have made in private! ”

Franco blew wildly, completely extinguishing Oraza's anger.

He looked around at the officers, big and small.

"So, we can't send troops?"

When the people heard this, the governor wanted to go down the stairs, how could they not give it?

"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor! This is clearly a conspiracy of a despicable man! ”

"That's right! Akito has always been cunning! I've long thought they weren't normal! ”
