Time passed day by day.

Zheng Zhibao and others are also walking more and more.

In the past 10 days, they have traveled all over the places where the population of the attached ** has gathered a large number of people, spreading the news of the reduction in grain production everywhere, and at the same time, they have also recruited soldiers to accumulate strength.

Their propaganda, from the beginning no one believed, to the crowd of followers.

The reason is simple, over time, the time has come for the rice to ripen. But there were not a few grains in the ears of rice, and the people panicked! Their food is simply not enough to survive the maturity of the third rice crop this year.

With the virtue of the red-haired ghosts, they will definitely not care whether they live or die. What's more, the initiator of all this is the red-haired ghost.

Since you can't survive, it's better to rebel directly with the rebels.

Maybe this king's bloodline can really drive away the red-haired ghosts, restore the glory of the Luzon Dynasty back then, and let the common people live a good life.

More and more people asked to join the rebel army, but under Conley's repeated strict control, the old and weak were not allowed. But just like that, their ranks had grown to four thousand.

At this time, their target was Dagupan, ten miles away. Dagupan is about 200 miles away from Manila in a straight line, in a bay similar to Manila Bay, except that the opening is larger and the direction is different.

Coming to this place was requested by Zheng Zhibao, which is not the closest to Taiwan. But the best location. Because there is a large plain between Dagupan and Manila, as long as you occupy Dagupan, you can go directly south and capture Manila.

And the purpose of Zheng Zhibao's trip is to capture this place, as the front station for Zheng Zhilong to land in Japan.

There were not many defenders here, only three or four hundred Spanish regular troops, and more than a thousand puppet troops.

At this time, Conley was consulting Zheng Zhibao on how to attack.

"It's not a big city, and there aren't many defenders. Instead, I asked my men to throw some grenades, and let General Lu's men fire a few more shots, and you just let your men charge directly. Nothing to discuss. ”

"Good!"

Since there was nothing to discuss, the army marched straight in the direction of Daguphan.

Half an hour later, they came about a mile outside the city of Dagupan. Conley gave an order, and thousands of people marched towards Dagupan, although the team was scattered, but the number was large, and it looked a little powerful.

Zheng Zhibao also ordered his men to rush forward, but it turned out that he probably didn't even have to throw grenades, and as for mortars, it was even more unnecessary. Because there were no defenders in the city at all.

As early as yesterday, when the people of the city learned of their direction, the Spanish regulars fled by boat, and the native soldiers fled wherever they wanted, without the slightest intention of resisting, after all, no one wanted to die.

Zheng Zhibao, Kang Li and others were stationed in Dagupan.

Conley's prestige rose when he ordered that the people of the city should not be harassed, and killed several troublemakers. The people are not so afraid of them anymore, after all, even if they are rebels, they are at least stronger than the fierce red-haired ghosts.

But even so, the whole of Dagupan was still shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness. Because the harvest season has arrived. Everyone found out that these rebellious guys were right.

Originally, they had the illusion that instead of a bumper harvest, the yield of high-yielding rice would be greatly reduced. The yield per mu of fertile soil is about 100 catties, almost dozens of catties, and even some of the output is almost negligible.

No one knew what to do, and the people began to point the finger at the red-haired ghosts who forced them to sow seeds.

At this time, the seeds they had planted along the way began to work, and the news continued to ferment, spreading more and more widely, and the more outrageous it became.

With Conley's leading jewel in front, the ranks of rebels are also increasing. Although the number of people is not large, and the scale is not large, the impact is extremely bad.

Luzon, chaos.

And as the most powerful person in Luzon at this time, Oraza is already in a hurry!

He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights. He really couldn't understand why the yield of eight or nine hundred catties of grain per mu a few months ago had plummeted to more than 100 catties!

If you want to show that there is a problem with human seeds, you can actually plant a high yield last season, if you say that there is no problem, but whose seeds are planted in one season and then the second season will be reduced by a cliff?

He vaguely felt that this thing was weird, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Then he learned that rebels had begun to appear in many places, and the natives could no longer survive to rebel.

One Conley was enough of a headache for him, and he didn't expect many other people to pop up at once. After thinking about it for two days, he finally decided to use the stupidest way to buy food from other neighboring countries. First pacify the indigenous people, then continue to suppress the disobedient rebels. With a two-pronged approach, this Luzon can still settle down.

At present, Luzon is also short of food, and Zheng Zhilong is also very busy, and his wishful thinking is about to fail.

It's impossible to buy food from yourself.

Hey?

Thinking of this, Oraza was shocked.

No way?

Could it be that he Zheng Zhilong had expected this day a long time ago?

I'm afraid Aloy has already arrived in Taiwan, if he signs the deed to buy grain, and he can't get the grain, will Zheng Zhilong spare himself? Or did he simply know that he couldn't take it at all, and deliberately found such an excuse to find fault with it, so as to obtain greater benefits?

So what does he want?

Oraza fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he suddenly stood up. He took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and called his subordinates.

"Send a ship out to sea at once and send this letter back to Mexico City to present it to His Majesty the King!"

After doing all this, he slumped in his chair.

I hope I'm thinking about it too much.

And thousands of miles away in Taiwan, Aloy met Zheng Zhilong again.

"Aloy, why did you come back so soon?"

"General Zheng, after I go back, I will tell the Governor what you requested. The Governor was very happy, and said that Zheng Zongbing was indeed as righteous as rumored! He decided to grant your request! As long as you can send someone to deliver a message to those rebels, five million mu of grain will be sold to General Zheng for a pound! Aloy said with a smile.

"Good! It seems that Oraza is also a cheerful person, but he must have misunderstood before. Come, since you're here, let's sign the deed first, and I'll pay you a part of the deposit! You pull back with a boat! ”

"The deed can be signed, but this deposit, is it appropriate?"

"It's okay, I'll give you 200,000 taels first. Since Oraza is refreshing, I certainly can't ink either! Come, Brother Aloy, I've prepared the deed, you see, if it's okay, sign it! Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

Aloy took the deed and read it carefully from beginning to end. Although I know that this thing is not binding, but there is something to do in the future, I can still talk about it.

No problem with the deed! The conditions are very good! It seems that the Ming people have indeed reached the point of extreme food shortage.

"I'll sign it!"
