Chapter 574: What Are You?

Edgardo was completely speechless.

Kill me.

These Ming people are definitely prepared.

Liberian ham, sherry,! Is there anything else you don't know?

After two troublemakers were exposed by Xiao Wu, Edgardo was much more honest and honestly instructed his subordinates to prepare compensation items according to their requirements.

In fact, although there are many types of things, the total value is not so high that they can bear it.

Take Liberian ham as an example, in fact, Zhu Youzhen wants to taste the authentic taste and whether it is as good as he boasts.

Everything added up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is why Edgardo could agree.

After all, the other party threatened the entire port, even if it went to His Royal Highness the King, he said it in the past.

Otherwise, if they really let them blow up the port, the losses will be astronomical.

The most important thing right now is to save your own life and save the port.

The other party wants to see His Royal Highness, and it won't take him two days to know the news. When the time comes, whether there will be war or peace, it will depend on His Majesty's decision.

Besides, whether you can win or not, Your Majesty naturally has a rod and scale in his heart.

You shouldn't be stupid enough to go to war with Akito, right?

Then I really won't be able to live.

Edgardo looked at the officers rowing back, and his thoughts turned into a long sigh.

Subsequently, the First Fleet left the port and stopped not far away.

Next, they will block the port, allowing them to enter but not to leave.

"That's a lot, don't look at it. It's not that I can't see you, but the overseer said that he wants to invite you to dinner, so go quickly."

On the deck, Lu Shiyun said to Edgardo, who had been standing on the deck and looking into the distance in a daze.

Edgardo looked at him with a blank expression.

"Hey, it, I forgot that this grandson doesn't understand Chinese. You drop! Red-haired ghost dripping work! We! The Overseer has told you to eat!" Lu Shiyun even said with a gesture, but Edgardo still didn't understand what he said.

"Hey~ It's hard! Little Five! Little Five! Come here, let this red-haired devil eat!"

Lu Shiyun shouted and left.

Edgardo was led by Xiao Wu to the cabin and met Xie Xuelong, who was preparing food and drink.

"What's more, come and sit. Little five, you can also sit down and be our interpreter."

Edgardo sat down silently and looked at the food on the table, hungry, but not at all. The most important thing is that you don't give utensils to invite people to dinner? What does it mean to put two small sticks?

Well?

With this pickle?

"Do you know Franco?"

Xie Xuelong didn't bother to teach him how to use Kuaizi, so he took care of himself and put a dish on his plate and said to him.

"Franco? How can you not recognize? Didn't he go to Daming? What's wrong? Did you meet him?"

"Yes. We set off from Luzon together. But our fleet is faster, and they estimate it will be at least a month before they arrive."

"What? He set off with you? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Didn't you say that? Come and do business with you, we have reached a preliminary agreement with Franco, but there are some important issues that need the nod of your king. So here we are."

"You're saying that you've already met with Franco and discussed business!?"

"That's right, otherwise how would we be here?"

"In other words, Franco, on behalf of our king, has already spoken to you?"

"Yes, he was sent by your king. Don't you know?"

"I..."

Edgardo took a deep breath, he knew that Franco had set out from the port where he was. He also said that he was ordered by the king to negotiate with the Ming army.

But the problem is that he didn't expect that the two parties had already met, and both

Preliminary agreement has been reached.

But you're all fucking connected, and you're really going to do business with us, so why are you bombarding the warships in our harbor?

Do you have them?

Edgardo held back for a long time, and he couldn't help it.

"Now that you've met Franco and you've agreed. Then why attack our fleet in a big way!? You've destroyed dozens of our ships? Do you know how big our losses are!? Huh?"

Edgardo stood up and roared excitedly.

As soon as he moved, Xiao Wu also stood up, and the guards standing at the door also immediately held the hilt of the knife, as if just waiting for Xie Xuelong's order, Edgardo would turn into a corpse.

But at this time, Xie Xuelong fully showed his demeanor as a Ming Jinshi, and still gracefully put a mouthful of food into his mouth.

After chewing unhurriedly, he put down the fast child in his hand.

"When I arrived at the open sea with my fleet, I stopped at a small island, did I offend the ships and troops that passed by?"

After a pause, Xie Xuelong continued:

"Probably not, our fleet is moving faster, and we are only waiting for Franco and the others to arrive in the open sea, and we have not clashed with anyone. But today, we are under attack by your Spanish fleet! Attack for no reason! Your fleet, without even saying hello, opened fire directly on us. I just wanted to ask if we can fight back in the face of an enemy attack for no reason!?"

Edgardo was silent, so that he really didn't know how to answer Xie Xuelong's question.

He was tempted to say that Armando was not him, but in some way represented Spain, so he could not find a reason to refute it.

"Looks like you think we should fight back, too, so we didn't show mercy. Most of the ships that attacked our fleet were sunk by us, and only one escaped and returned to your port. But what did you do when we tried to chase it?

Not only did you refuse to communicate with us, but you also sent warships to fire at us.

I ask you, should we fight back at this time?"

Edgardo remained silent.

"Looks like you're not doing anything wrong. So, we dealt a devastating blow to any enemy who dared to offend. For the safety of our fleet, we destroyed all ships that tried to get close to us.

I ask you, is there anything wrong with what we are doing?

No, I shouldn't have asked you that question.

With such a powerful fleet, we can easily crush the enemy of any country on the sea, why can't we fight back in the face of provocations? You Spain used to be the hegemon of the sea, but in my eyes, you are nothing more than a chicken, a dog, and the galleons that you are proud of are nothing more than a matter of one shell.

It is your honor that I am willing to do business with you, and it is rude for your king not to sweep the couch to greet you! What are you? How dare you be so rude to us!?"
