Decades later, the natives once again felt the ferocity of the Spaniards.

For a time, except for a few who planned to resist stubbornly, most of the rebels who raised their banners and stood on their own surrendered one after another, begging for their lives. Fortunately, Oraza is still sensible, and he knows that it is not a way to keep killing, so he let out his words, as long as he surrenders, he will not kill.

As a governor, Oraza is naturally not only a murderer. On the one hand, he actively negotiated with neighboring countries, spared no expense to buy grain, distributed it to various places for disaster relief, and planned to control public opinion and tell the people that they had been cheated by the Ming people. But where do the natives who have been brainwashed by Conley still believe what they say, they are just forced to resist because of the threat of force.

The situation in Luzon is like a boiling pot with a scoop of cold water, and it seems to have calmed down again. But the calm is only temporary, as soon as the temperature of the iron pot rises again, the water in the pot will boil again.

In fact, Oraza is still very proud of the handling of the current situation. But the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was Conley, who was entrenched in Dagupan, and according to those below, Conley's rebel army had reached five or six thousand men, and was still increasing.

He didn't know what Aloy had to do with Zheng Zhilong, but it was definitely impossible for him to satisfy his desire to recycle the grain.

If Zheng Zhilong comes over this time, he must talk to him personally. As long as the rebellion can be resolved, he is willing to pay any price. But what will Zheng Zhilong do?

Fortunately, Oraza's anxiety didn't last long, and Aloy returned, beaming.

"My lord! It's done! Zheng Zhilong promised to help us settle the rebellion! ”

"Aloy."

"What's the matter, Lord Doge?" Aloy wondered why there was no joy on Oraza's face, wasn't it good to discuss before leaving?

"We can't sell them food."

"What? Why? ”

"The island's food production has been completely reduced. The best harvest is only a hundred catties per mu! The natives themselves don't have enough to eat, and they are rebelling everywhere! You say, what do we sell to Zheng Zhilong!? ”

"But they've already brought someone with me, and they've driven hundreds of empty boats to stop outside Corregidor Island to pull food! And all the money is ready, and I have seen it all. Now, what now? Aloy said in a hurried voice, patting his chest and calling others brothers, and now this one is coming again.

It's not that he's afraid of Mingren's troubles, but it's not a glorious thing to miss appointments again and again.

"Who's here? How many people did you bring? As soon as Oraza heard that the other party was coming, he immediately became nervous.

"It's Zheng Zhilong, a subordinate named Hong Xu, and there is no one else except sailors and stevedores."

"Hong Xu? Haven't heard of it. You say they came with silver? ”

"That's right! As I saw with my own eyes, there were several cabins loaded on board. It seems that he really wants to buy food. ”

Oraza was silent. He also felt the other party's eagerness to buy food. Last time, he didn't want to sell it to Zheng Zhilong, so he made a big move, and if he didn't sell it this time, he couldn't make him mad?

But the problem is that last time there was really something I didn't want to sell, and this time I didn't want to sell it! "Let's go, go and meet this guy named Hong Xu." ”

Orazza walked out and led the men to the outside of Corregidor Island. His boat stopped not far from Hong Xu's boat, and ordered people to shout for Hong Xu to come to the bow of the boat to see him.

Hong Xu got the news and walked out of the cabin.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"Vice-King of New Spain, Viceroy of Luzon, Oraza!"

"What prick?" Hong Xu plucked out his ears and asked.

"Oraza!"

"Oh! What about grain? ”

Aura didn't expect this person to go straight to the point as soon as he came up, which made him a little speechless for a while.

"General Hong, this season's rice is somehow gone, and the yield is terrifyingly low. In many places, the yield per mu is only a few dozen catties! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hong Xu's face turned cold.

"That's right. Can you go back and tell you Zheng Zongbing, this grain will come back to pull it after a while. This season's food production has been so reduced that it will take some time to raise it from elsewhere. ”

"You mean, there's no food right now?"

"Not yet."

"When will it be?"

"Come a few days!"

"How many days to live."

"Well, I can't say."

"Then why did you go to Taiwan to find us? So why did you let us come along? Kidding us, huh? Hong Xu said angrily.

General Hong was furious. You see, this will not work! I will first give you 100,000 taels of silver as collateral, and we will raise enough grain as soon as possible, and when it is delivered the next day, the silver will be used to offset the purchase price. What does General Hong think. ”

"Not how! We need food now! Immediately! Right away! ”

"But not really. One month! Give us a month. After you have raised the food, you will pull it! This 100,000 taels of silver should be regarded as an apology! General Hong, please understand our difficulties. ”

"One hundred thousand taels? What about those who ask for food? Not a million taels! Don't think I don't know. You must be trying to fool us like you did last time! We don't want anything, we just want food! Today I leave my words here, and the grain will not be delivered in ten days! We're going to send troops at once! Conquer your Manila! Let's see if food is important or life is important! Hong Xu looked extremely angry, and ignored Oraza's words.

"General Hong! You're being unreasonable! "Oraza has suffered this grievance, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

"I'm being unreasonable? Then let me ask you, a few days ago, Aloy went to Taiwan to sign a deed with us in black and white, is it child's play? You red hairs... How did the Frankians interact with other countries? ”

"So what do you say?" Oraza saw that Hong Xu did not let go, and he became impatient. What kind of thing, a little person dares to come and show off his might with me.

"Don't do it. Let me ask, is there any food or not? ”

"In a month." Oraza spread his hands.

"I see. Remove! The goal has been achieved, and Hong Xu does not intend to waste his words here, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

Looking at Hong Xu's retreat, Oraza's face was extremely pale.

What is it! Sending a nobody to play his prestige, this Zheng Zhilong is too inattentive to people!

"My lord, what shall we do?" Seeing that things were completely messed up, Aloy asked helplessly.

"Don't do it."

Oraza glared at him. "Prepare the soldiers and intensify patrols in the waters around Manila Bay. All the soldiers sent out to suppress the rebellion are recalled and defend Manila! ”

He didn't believe that Zheng Zhilong would make an open war between the two countries for this bit of food, after all, he just wanted to obtain greater benefits! But even if the interests can be abandoned, the bottom line must be kept! As long as Manila is still in their hands, this Luzon will not be able to turn the sky upside down!
