Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 733
After hearing this, Diego looked at the subordinate named Filot and asked: "What can you do?"

After hearing this, Filot said to Diego confidently: "The Ming Kingdom has always regarded these Ming people who went to sea as untouchables, and they don't care at all. Even if their court wants to save face, it doesn't matter. Just give the Ming Kingdom an explanation. Just say that these Ming people colluded with the pirates and tried to rebel. Once they have an explanation, the matter will be settled!"

At this point, he paused and then immediately continued: "Your Majesty the Governor can even tell Mingren that as long as Mingren comes to Luzon and behaves himself, there will definitely be no problem. And there will be preferential treatment on taxes and other things. In this way, those Ming people will definitely have their scars healed and forget about the pain, and they will come to Luzon again."

Diego nodded when he heard this. In fact, he had heard this statement more than once before.But when things come to an end, after all, I have never experienced it, and I am still a bit uncertain.

But now, this subordinate who participated in the last massacre of the Ming people gave him a reassurance once again.

I saw Diego looked at Filot and said: "Okay, then this is the way to do it. But there is one thing, those Ming people who fled into the mountains need to step up their siege. Otherwise, we say they rebelled Words may be exposed!"

When Filot heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. It seems that the Governor only killed those colonial aborigines with no background. For this kind of aborigines with a huge empire, it was refreshing to kill them. Afterwards, it can be regarded as mother-in-law.

Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, he still maintained a respectful expression and said: "Your Excellency, those Ming people fled into the mountains and forests. The natives come to do this, as much as they can be encircled and suppressed. As for your Excellency’s worries, there is no need to worry about it. As long as there is an explanation from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he may investigate carefully. Counting this kind of massacre has happened three times, Did the Ming Dynasty really have to worry about it that time?"

The mountains and forests in Luzon, that's no joke.It is not easy to survive inside, but it is even more difficult to find people inside.

Diego also understood this. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Then tell Ferdinandi to do this? Well...a silver dollar for the head of a wise person."

Ferdinandi is a native of Luzon, the chief of the tribe, and has always been an accomplice of the Spaniards.Originally, he didn't have this name either, but in order to please the Spaniards, he changed it to this Western-style name.

"Your Excellency Governor, this is too cheap for the natives. The heads of the Ming people are not worth the money!" Filot quickly advised, "Three heads are one silver dollar, no more!"

At first, Diego thought that the money was snatched from Ming people anyway, so it didn't matter.But after hearing his words, he changed his mind and agreed to his suggestion.

So, it was settled.

The Luzon Spaniards returned to the American continent from the Japanese country, and they would cross the Pacific Ocean with the help of the Pacific Warm Current in May and June every year.Therefore, this time is already October, and the time is still early.

These Spaniards are not in a hurry, and are still enjoying the happiness brought to them by the surge in wealth after the massacre.Of course, in order to deal with the Ming country, they also sent spies to find out how the Ming country reacted, so as to give them a step to go down.It's best if nothing happens.

However, this time, it was a bit unexpected.

On this day, Filot was urgently summoned by the Governor, and hurried to run there, only to find that Diago's face was a bit ugly, as if someone owed him money.

He was a little puzzled in his heart. Logically speaking, he was so happy recently, so there shouldn't be anything bad happening, right?
In his heart, he never thought that something would happen in the Ming country.After all, they have been massacred three times, not all of them are fine, the Ming Dynasty just wants to save face!

So, Filot quickly asked: "Dear Governor, is there any urgent matter that embarrasses you?"

Hearing this, Diago looked up at him, and said with an ugly face: "The person who went to the Ming country to inquire about the news has returned, which means that the Guoannan side is preparing for war, and when the emperor's order comes, we will attack us. Song!"

The reason why they sent people to Annan to inquire about the news, instead of Fujian, which is closer, is because they heard that the Ming army had captured Annan, and these Luzon Spaniards were worried, so they killed those Luzon Ming people who might become the Ming army's help. .

Hearing the news, Filot didn't take it seriously, and immediately smiled and said, "Dear Governor, you really scared me. Isn't this just what we expected!"

"Unexpected?" Diego heard it, a little suspicious, and couldn't help repeating to confirm.

After hearing this, Filot immediately said with confidence: "Master Governor, this is the attitude of an official in the Ming Dynasty. To give them an explanation in the country, this is the countermeasure. Just like what I said before , It’s time to give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty. Now you can write a document to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, saying that those Ming people colluded with the pirates to rebel, so they must stop their flags and report to their emperor, and this matter will be over.”

Hearing this, Diego doubtfully said: "But, the person who came back from the inquisition said that the Earl of Ming Kingdom was very angry!"

"Hehe!" Filot said disapprovingly after hearing this, "Dear Governor, you don't know that these Orientals are the best at acting. If you don't do this, you may be impeached by their censor. This , I have been in the East for so many years, and I have figured it out a long time ago."

Seeing that Diego didn't seem to have dispelled his doubts, he added: "If the governor is still not at ease, you might as well send some money to Ming officials. They will take the initiative to speak for us after receiving the benefits. Come, you can also open up the joints in advance for returning to America next year."

The saying that money can turn ghosts is the same in both East and West.If it weren't for the money, it would be impossible for these Spaniards to leave their hometown and travel so far to such a distant place.

After hearing this, Diego finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I will immediately issue an official statement and send you to negotiate with Ming Kingdom!"

After hearing this, Filot was stunned for a while, and then he didn't refuse, but made another suggestion: "Your Excellency, in this case, why don't you add a notice by the way, explaining that people who come to Luzon will give them preferential treatment as long as they follow the rules. , to show our Spanish preferential treatment to the Ming people, both from the side and the front, the previous killings were just to suppress the Ming rebellion!"

This is about to start raising pigs again!Of course, there must be a process for these pigs to increase in number and fatten up.

After hearing this, Diego thought so in his heart, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"

So, after some preparations, Filot set off with the documents issued by the Spanish and Philippine governors.

…………

On Annan's side, Lu Xiangsheng was absolutely sure that when his memorial arrived in the capital, the emperor would definitely send troops to attack the Western barbarians in Luzon.Therefore, while actively preparing for war, he moved his trip south to Hoi An.

On this day, when he was inspecting the Fujian Navy and visiting the newly established shipyard here, he heard his subordinates report that a Xiyi from Luzon had come to see him.

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng became angry on the spot, and immediately yelled: "These Xiyi bandits, do they still have the guts to come to see this officer?"

Anders, the Portuguese leader who was accompanying him, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. The Xiyi bandits, did they scold him too?
But when he came back to his senses, he was gloating in his heart.

Portugal has always been under the rule of Spain, and their relationship is not mastery, but hostility, and they are real rebels.Therefore, Anders was eager for Ming to use troops against the Spaniards.

He was worried that the arrival of the Spaniards would change Lu Xiangsheng's opinion, so he immediately suggested to Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, these Spaniards are heinous, it's better to kill Jiqi directly."

Knowing that Ming and Portugal will inevitably form an alliance in the future, those who are familiar with the situation on the Ming side will definitely be valued and reused by the country.Therefore, Anders has been working hard to learn the official language of Ming Dynasty and the customary civilization of Ming Dynasty.

No, he came in handy, and his words and deeds already have a bit of an oriental meaning.

However, although Lu Xiangsheng led the army on the battlefield, he was actually a literati influenced by Confucian culture in essence, so he really couldn't do the thing of directly killing the flag without even seeing him.

Although furious in his heart, Lu Xiangsheng still sent orders to lead people.

The person who came here was naturally Philot.

In fact, he has dealt with the Ming country more than once, so he knows more about the Ming country, so he can give the governor those suggestions with confidence.

However, this time, he came to Annan himself, and then was brought to Hoi An under the surveillance of the soldiers of the Ming army. He was a little surprised by what he saw and heard.

Although, after massacring Ming people before, he could indeed feel Ming people's dissatisfaction.But he has never been able to feel the strong indignation of Mingren like he is now.

In addition, looking along the way, both the Ming army soldiers and the sailors were different from before. They all carried the murderous aura in their movements.

Seeing all this, to be honest, he felt a little hairy.Unconsciously, the original arrogance towards the oriental people was subconsciously put away.

When he was brought in front of Lu Xiangsheng, he was shocked again.Although he didn't speak, just looking at his aura, he was different from those Ming officials he had seen before.Faintly, he felt that this time it would not go well.

As a result, Filot's attitude became more respectful, and he saluted Lu Xiangsheng on the main seat and said: "Dear Lord Earl, I am a messenger sent by the Spanish Governor in Luzon Island. The incident that happened in Luzon Island a few days ago Please give your country a notice about the matter."
