"Hahaha, Franco, just kidding, why are you still angry. Don't worry, we will take the money, and we will let it go."

"Really?"

Franco couldn't believe it.

"Really!"

"What else is there to offer?"

"Uh... Well, it's a little bit, but it's not much."

I know you liars are uneasy and kind!

You're not going to end well!

Franco lowered his head again and loaded the wood.

"Come on, let Mr. Franco untie first. Look at what you have done, you have tied up Mr. Franco, and you don't know if you are a guest?"

Guest, mother, stop acting.

Although Franco was reluctant, he was tied up and half-pushed to the governor's palace in the city.

"Take Monsieur Franco to the shower and change clothes first, and I'll have something important to talk to him later."

Under Zheng Zhilong's orders, as soon as he entered the Governor's Palace, Franco enjoyed the VIP treatment.

First, he took a bath under the service of two young and beautiful maids, and then put on the long robe prepared for him. In the end, he was brought to Zheng Zhilong, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Yo, dear Franco, I didn't expect you to look even more heroic and tall in our Ming robes, it seems that this cooperation between our two countries is already imperative. Come and sit down."

As soon as Zheng Zhilong saw him, he pulled him and sat down.

Franco sat silently in his chair and moved awkwardly, he was really not used to wearing this long shirt.

"How? I haven't eaten on the ship lately, okay? Hungry or not? I have ordered a feast to be prepared, so let's have some tea and a good drink later."

Franco was throwing up.

What's going on, if you have something to say, can't you do it?

"My tea, but from..."

"Mr. Zheng, it's not the first time we've met, just say something straight, don't come to these vains." Franco finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Zheng Zhilong's words with something to say.

"Haha, Franco is still such an impatient. Since you're in a hurry, I'm going to have something to say?"

Franco didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Zhilong quietly.

Please start your performance.

Zheng Zhilong was stared at by him with this kind of eyes, and said that it was not embarrassing, it was fake, but thinking about the number of silver and two belongings that had just been counted below, the trace of embarrassment in his heart was gone.

"That's right, after you went back last time, I made a special trip to the capital to meet our great emperor, His Majesty. When I explained the matter to him and sought his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry when he heard this, and blamed me for not letting the tiger go back to the mountains, and should have left all of you in Luzon to farm.

Later, I was moved by emotion and reason, and finally let His Majesty realize that Spain is a powerful country and a partner worthy of the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty. The previous conflict was entirely due to misunderstanding, and Your Majesty also hopes that in the future, Spain and the Ming Dynasty will be able to help each other and help each other in the same boat!"

"Misunderstanding? Such a big Luzon was given to you for nothing? Our soldiers died in vain? The city of Manila, which we worked so hard to build, was just handed over? You have taken everything from us, and now you are talking about helping each other and helping each other. Do you have any help? Huh?" ….

For the first time since landing, Franco had an expression on his face, but it was extremely angry.

It's so shameless, Zheng Zhilong is shameless! This emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a good thing, how can he say such shameless words so high-sounding!?

"Since you're going to cooperate, that's fine. Give us back Luzon! Give us back your captors! Give us back the more than 10 million taels of silver! Otherwise, don't say anything about cooperation! We, Spain, do not cooperate with robbers!"

"Hey, dear Franco. You see, when you talk about things, you talk about things, and before you start talking, why are you angry again? Come, take a sip of tea to quench the fire."

Seeing Franco say, the more he said

The more angry he was, Zheng Zhilong stood up with a smile, walked up to him and poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.

Franco twisted his head, apparently not appreciative.

Zheng Zhilong was not annoyed when he saw this, and gently put the cup on the coffee table.

"Franco, there's a saying that I shouldn't have told you. But I've always been upright, and we're old friends, so I'd like to ask you, have you found a solution to the Dutch rebellion, His Royal Highness Felipe IV, King of the Habsburgs?"

"You?"

Franco turned his head and looked at Zheng Zhilong.

Why do you want to talk about this?

"Twenty-seven years ago, in the thirty-fifth year of our Ming Dynasty, the Dutch fleet attacked the port of Gibraltar, and one of your Spanish fleets suffered heavy losses. In that year, the government went bankrupt and had to sign the Amberes Treaty with the Netherlands. The signing of the Treaty of Amberes meant that Spain recognized the independence of the northern provinces of the Netherlands.

But the Habsburgs were dealt a heavy political blow. The peace that was bought lasted only 12 years, and negotiations failed to resume the war.

Six years ago, at the Battle of Matanzas Bay, the Dutch captured one of your treasure fleets.

Three years earlier, the Dutch fleet had launched a night attack on the Spanish fleet in Antwerp at Slark, annihilating the Spanish fleet in the harbor.

At this point, Spain, which had been strong in the past, turned from offensive to defensive.

This year, although you united the Holy Roman Empire to defeat the Swedish army in Nordlingen, it also led to the conclusion of an alliance between France and the Netherlands, and France entered the war, and you have one more enemy.

In fact, I don't think these are terrible, what is terrible is that a mysterious steel fleet has appeared in the east, which is simply invincible in the world! Even such an important colony as Luzon had to be abandoned.

[In view of the general environment, and the trade routes in the East are completely controlled by the global trade of the Ming Dynasty, you can't hold on to it, right?

Dear Franco, am I right or not?"

Franco's forehead is already sweating, what Zheng Zhilong said is well known in Europe, but from this guy's mouth, it's a bit too exaggerated, right?

Although the ships of global trade are all over the world, this information is also terrifying, right?

"Y-What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you again, are you Spain willing to cooperate with the bandits? If I really don't want to, then I'll consider the Dutch."

"What!?"

"Don't be so surprised, my dear Franco. We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, called the last straw that crushes the camel. You say, can you camel still be able to carry the towering tree of Daming?"

Zheng Zhilong slowly stood up, then straightened his clothes and walked out.

"Franco, you eat something first, get some good sleep, and we'll talk again tomorrow. I'll go and see the silver on your ship. Alas, whether it's the people or the country, isn't it just about money?

I don't know if the Netherlands can afford to hire the First Fleet..."
