Chapter 326: Franco is gone
"Are you saying that Zheng Zhilong sent people to make trouble in order to buy food from us?" Oraza looked at Aloy.
"Yes, sir. If you think about it, the yield of rice sold to us by the Ming people is so high, no one would be willing to sell the seeds to the outside world, right? But they sold it to us, and the only condition was to recycle the food we grew and buy it at the market price.
Moreover, it can be seen from what happened last time that we just didn't plan to sell them food, so Zheng Zhilong sent hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers. It can be seen that the food shortage in Daming has reached a very serious point. That's why I tried so hard to get food from elsewhere. ”
Aloy explained to Olaza with a clear eye, and it seemed that he was analyzing the head and the way, as if he was looking at Zheng Zhilong's purpose.
"If you say that, it's really possible. Zheng Zhilong admitted that the troublemakers were sent by them? ”
"Not really. How could he admit such a despicable act? But he promised to help us settle the rebellion. ”
"Help us settle the rebellion?"
"That's right! It seems to me that he was going to order the withdrawal of his men. Then he put forward a request to continue to buy grain from us. It is precisely because he put forward such conditions that it proves the predicament of food shortage in Daming at present! ”
"Makes sense!" Olaza touched his beard. "You did a good job, if the rebellion is quelled, I will credit you for a great achievement, and you can also rise a liter at that time!"
"Cultivation by Lord Governor Xie!"
"Get up. The most urgent thing at the moment is a rebellion, and since they just want some food, we will agree to their terms. You go to Taiwan again and tell Zheng Zhilong what I mean. Let him give the order to withdraw his own people as soon as possible! As long as they are withdrawn, these rebellions are a piece of fart? ”
"Good! I'm going to Taiwan now! ”
Orazza nodded, and the matter of settling the rebellion was clear, and Oraza's mood improved, and he sent Aloy all the way out of the city.
Aloy took a boat to Taiwan again, and he was full of confidence in his trip to Taiwan.
After Aloy is gone, Oraza doesn't plan to spend time in Barangya. He directly ordered the army to march and returned to Manila by ship.
As soon as he returned to Manila, Oraza asked the people below to call Franco.
It was intended to appease and appease him and restore his rights.
But soon after the servant left, he came back with a strange face.
"Lord Governor, Lord Franco is not here."
"Not there? Where did it go? ”
"According to the people below, back to Mexico."
"What? I'm back in Mexico!?? Olaza suddenly stood up from his chair. When did you leave? ”
"Yesterday morning!"
"Send a boat out to sea at once and chase him back for me!"
Franco was well acquainted with the affairs of Luzon, and now he went back without saying a word, surely dissatisfied with his dismissal of his position, and left in a huff. When he returns, he will inevitably speak ill of himself in front of His Majesty, and if he angers His Majesty, he will probably not be able to keep his position as governor.
Thinking of this, Oraza walked around the house irritably.
It's really a bad year, I've only been the governor for more than a year, how can I encounter so many unlucky things! He didn't know that more unfortunate things were yet to come.
Zheng Zhibao, Kang Li and others led the rebel army all the way to the north, and along the way, they were not idle at all.
When they didn't get anywhere, they would kill the local puppet army that helped the Spaniards oppress the natives, and then spread the word everywhere. It was said that the Spaniards were doing evil in Luzon and angered the gods. This season's grain harvest is about to run out, and if you want to live, you must have the courage to resist and drive away the red-haired ghosts!
At first, everyone didn't believe it, after all, after decades of obedience, everyone had become accustomed to life under Spanish rule. Now that some people have come forward and said that the Spaniards should be driven out, most people think that they are crazy, after all, they just had a high yield of eight or nine hundred catties of grain just a few months ago. Besides, these red-haired ghosts have advanced equipment and sharp firearms, how can anyone drive them away if they want to?
However, Zheng Zhibao's reaction to them doesn't matter, whether they will be harvested or not, they will know after a while. I'm just leading someone to plant a seed.
The majority do not believe in them, because most people are short-sighted.
There are those who do not believe, and there are those who believe.
Some of the natives who found the seed anomaly asked to join their ranks. Conley didn't refuse to come, he just picked the young and strong inside.
In this way, by the time Guagua arrived, the team had increased by more than 300 people.
On this day, next to a small village, Zheng Zhibao and others were standing with their hands in their hands, looking at the people who came to sign up for the army.
"Conley, you must arrange it well, you can't ask for food for the old, weak, sick and disabled, we are fighting, not being good people." Zheng Zhibao looked at all kinds of people in the team and said.
"I know. I've already arranged it. However, this also recruited a lot of people, otherwise our team would have five or six thousand people now. Conley said with some regret.
"Shhhh What's the use of having a lot of people? The red-haired ghost's musket peed his pants in fright, can he fight? If you look at the original team, it's just a little bit of an army now. But at this level, it can't even be ranked at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. We have an old saying, "Soldiers are more expensive than they are!" It's better not to have a bunch of straw bales. Besides, the number of people in the team has come up, where does the daily food and drink come from? You're in an uprising, and you don't have logistical support, you know? Seeing that Conley didn't care a little, Zheng Zhibao said a few words with a straight face.
"Understood!" For Zheng Zhibao, Conley has an inexplicable fear. "But General Zheng, what was the glow that was in the last night of the battle?"
"It's something that glows."
Conley was speechless, he had asked many times, but every time Zheng Zhibao prevaricated. If we can make more of that, we can march and fight at night, and there will be no one to stop us. ”
"Made? What do you think? Don't say it's you, even I haven't seen anything before. That's all brought by General Lu, where did General Lu come from? From my Ming capital, except for them, no one can have such a precious thing. You won't be able to build it in the next life. ”
"So powerful?"
"Why do you want to think so much? As long as you follow Daming wholeheartedly, this Luzon is yours! ”
Conley nodded, not saying anything more.
He didn't doubt what Zheng Zhibao said, after all, Da Ming had already embarrassed the red-haired ghosts by just coming more than 200 people, if it was really like what Zheng Zhilong's army said, these red-haired ghosts would inevitably be driven away.
In fact, how he didn't understand Mingren's intentions, it was nothing more than wanting to drive away the red-haired ghost and replace him.
And he is at most a puppet who helps them rule.
But as long as they can have rights, what about puppets?
