"Can I believe what the General says?" Franco stared into Xie Xuelong's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his soul.

"Do you have any choice but to believe what I say?"

Xie Xuelong asked rhetorically.

This, as if not?

Franco sighed helplessly and glanced at the fleet parked on the surface of the sea in the distance.

Damn, power is the truth, who let the shells of the people hit far?

"Good! But I'll only give you half of the captives! The remaining half will be delivered in ten days!" Franco's mind turned, and he came up with another idea.

"Impossible! If we want to stop attacking Manila, we must return all the Ming people! Immediately!"

"Not negotiable?"

"It's not going to go, it's all about it! You can do it!"

Xie Xuelong spread his hands, his tone was extremely tough, this time he had already put himself in danger, could it be that he had to run again!?

"Are you sure the Admiral will keep his promise and never lead this mighty fleet against Manila again?"

"I, Xie Xuelong, swear to heaven that I will not lead an army to attack Manila in this life! If you break this oath, you will have no place to die!"

Seeing that Xie Xuelong had sworn a poisonous oath, Franco couldn't say anything more.

"There is no basis for your words, don't you wise people like to sign contracts? Will the general sign the contract?"

"Of course!"

"Then it's settled!"

Franco also knows that this bullshit deed is worthless, but maybe it can be a little binding? Besides, you have to answer to Cerezo too, don't you?

The two found pen and paper, wrote the deed in two languages, and then signed their names.

Franco read the contents of the deed from beginning to end and exhaled a long breath.

The promise not to attack Manila again, this article alone, in exchange for the lives of thousands of insignificant civilians, is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Then the two discussed the details of handing over the captives, and Franco sent Xie Xuelong onto the ship.

Watching the boat Xie Xuelong sit on gradually drift away, Franco sighed.

No matter what the situation turned out next, he did his best.

In fact, he was lucky enough, if Zheng Zhilong led the fleet, he would not care about the people or the people, it would definitely be right.

Seeing Xie Xuelong come back, Lu Shiyun was overjoyed and excitedly took Xie Xuelong to the Suncheon.

"Overseer! What do you think? They didn't embarrass you." Lu Shiyun looked Xie Xuelong up and down and asked.

"Nope. The matter has been settled, and they promised to release the whole people."

"What? So refreshing? What are the conditions?" Lu Shiyun was a little surprised.

"We'll talk about it later." Xie Xuelong sold a pass.

The transfer of the captives went smoothly, and thousands of Ming overseas Chinese arrived on the ships of the First Fleet an hour later.

And Xie Xuelong also ordered the fleet to leave the mouth of Manila Bay as soon as possible.

At this point, Franco breathed a sigh of relief. Send someone to deliver the message to Serezo, who is hiding on the island of Limbonnes, and wait for his next instructions.

The First Fleet rode the wind and waves at sea and gradually moved away from Manila, Lu Shiyun couldn't suppress his curiosity again, and asked Xie Xuelong what kind of conditions the other party agreed.

"I promise them that I will never lead a fleet against Manila again!"

"This!! Overseer! His Majesty's order is to help Zheng Zhilong quickly take Manila! If we don't attack, what will Zheng Zhilong do?"

"Seyun, have we attacked Manila these days?" Xie Xuelong smiled and asked.

"Huh? Like, no?"

"That's it!"

"Hahaha!" Lu Shiyun laughed.

They didn't attack Manila, but they attacked the Spanish ships in Manila Bay.

"If the hell cannon that His Majesty gave Zheng Zhilong is enough to take Manila, whether we can fight Manila or not is secondary. As long as the opponent's battle is contained

The boat will do the trick."

"That's exactly what it means! I have sworn that I will not lead an army to attack Manila in this life, and if the hell cannon cannot help Zheng Zhilong take Manila, you will lead the fleet to attack at that time."

"Huh? This! Overseer."

Lu Shiyun looked at Xie Xuelong with a strange smile on his face, and he didn't know what to say.

"Don't think I'm that pedantic and inflexible Mr. Moral. It is my generation's responsibility to conquer the east and west for His Majesty and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the ethereal oath. As long as Luzon can be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what if the sky really thunders? What's more, saving these people who have been rooted in Luzon for many years will also be of great help to govern Luzon in the future."

Xie Xuelong's words completely shocked Lu Shiyun.

What is a pattern?

That's the pattern!

I only saw one step away, and the superintendent had already seen five steps away!

"Admire your subordinates!"

"Between you and me, there is no need to be polite. I intend to settle these people in Gupan and let them go back when the fighting is over. Do you have any disagreement?"

"The subordinates have no opinions, and everything is subject to the arrangement of the overseer."

The fleet returned to Pagwila and greeted him, and sailed straight for Dagupan.

On the other hand, Serezo, who was hiding on the island of Limbonnes, also received a message from Franco.

"Akito is so easy to talk to?" Cerezo looked suspiciously at the officer in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Governor, I was there during the negotiations. The other party seems to be really worried about the safety of these people, and it doesn't seem to be a hypocrisy."

"What if they break their promise?"

"Lord Franco also expected this, and secretly detained seven or eight hundred Ming people. If they break their promises, these wise men will continue to be our shields!"

"Yo? Franco is a good idea! Even the shrewd Akito has played tricks!"

"When the Ming people were first arrested, these people were separated from the brigade. The people who were sent away didn't know they existed."

"Franco is good! Very good! It's a pity to let the Akito's fleet escape. I was going to lead the fleet around the rear and outflank them all!"

Cerezo said, touching his beard.

The officer was stunned and didn't dare to answer.

"Go back and tell Franco to take precautions and warn against the Akito breaking his promise and continuing to attack Manila."

"Yes!"

The officer gave a military salute and left with disdain in his heart.

And outflanked the back, phew!

Oraza dares to go to Corregidor Island to command, you are good, you are so frightened that you hide far away.

"My lord, let's go back to Manila?" Watching the officer leave, a man beside Cerezo asked.

"Back to the fart! I don't believe that Akito is so easy to fool. Wait, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Cerezo pouted and said that he was not willing to bet his life on the so-called deed.

The first fleet arrived at Dagupan with men, and it was already the night of the second day.
