Chapter 736
Although there are 40 or [-] indigenous people under Spanish rule, is this useful?
If their fighting power were really strong, they would not be ruled by such a small number of people in Spain!
Of course, this is also related to the situation in Luzon.

The natives of Luzon are distributed on various islands of Luzon and exist in the form of tribes.Moreover, the various tribes still hate each other and attack each other.Coupled with the backwardness of civilization, it was defeated by the Spaniards one by one, controlled by force and religion, and then ruled Luzon.

At this time, hearing Diego's question, Filot was also a little puzzled and said: "I don't know what's going on, I was negotiating with the earl of Ming Dynasty, and suddenly said that their emperor's order has arrived. That After the earl received the order, that's it."

"Then, is this what the Ming emperor meant?" Diego's face became even more ugly when he heard it, "How could this be?"

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either!" Felot also said with confusion on his face: "The massacre more than ten years ago was also when this emperor was in power. At that time, the Ming Dynasty didn't even fart, nothing happened. None! The emperor has not changed, so logically it should be fine! The Ming Dynasty emperor was also the same during the two massacres earlier, so there has been no change!"

When he said this, Diego was also puzzled.I just felt that his luck was so bad that he only slaughtered Mingren once, and Mingren's reaction was so fierce, and he declared war on him?
However, in the Far East, the strength in his hands did not give him a sense of security at all. If he asked for reinforcements, the nearest reinforcements were on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean, so he couldn't ask for reinforcements at all. What should we do?Could it be that he was defeated by the Ming army, and then ended up with his ears cut off, or even killed?

Thinking of this, sweat dripped from his forehead.Unable to stand still, he walked back and forth in the house like ants on a hot pot, anxiously thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Diego seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, and immediately raised his head and said to Filot: "Now our advantage is only at sea. I will immediately send someone to the sea for early warning. As long as I find that the Ming army is coming across the sea, I will stay with the Ming army." Battle at sea!"

"Your Excellency, it may be useless!" After hearing this, Filot shook his head bitterly, denying the statement.

When Diego heard this, before Filot could continue, he shouted angrily: "How can it be useless? Even if our warships are not as many as the Ming army, we can beat ten with one, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army." Fleet!"

After hearing this, Filot shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you haven't seen the fleet of the Ming Dynasty. There are at least three hundred ships! Even if it's just a big warship, there are about a hundred ships..."

"What's wrong with a hundred ships? Is a hundred ships enough?" When Diego heard this, he just walked to the edge of his desk, slammed the table, and shouted manically, "Believe it or not, our fleet, Can you still beat them?"

"Governor, you didn't listen to me!" Filot was interrupted and a little irritable, and immediately raised his voice and said, "And the Portuguese, who are listening to the Ming Dynasty now, will definitely take advantage of this Opportunity to fight us together!"

When Diego heard this, he was shocked and immediately confirmed, "You think the Portuguese will take this opportunity to attack us? These rebels are so unprincipled, and they want to join forces with the Orientals to attack us?"

It sounds like a bit of a fuss, but in fact, these Western colonists often encountered such things in the process of colonizing overseas.The first colonists fought against the natives, and the later colonists helped the natives fight the first settlers.After defeat, then tear your face and deal with the natives for colonization.

Therefore, as soon as Filot heard it, he knew that the governor had already remembered that his mind was a little confused, so he announced loudly: "The Portuguese have formed an alliance with the Ming country, and they say they have formed a brotherly state..."

If it's just Portuguese, these Spaniards are not afraid.If it was only the Ming army, these Spaniards still felt that they had a psychological advantage; but now that the Portuguese and the Ming army have colluded together, these Spaniards are frightened.

Listening to Filot's introduction, Diego couldn't even stand upright. He shook a few times, then slowly retreated to the edge of the chair, and sat down.

However, under his restless mind, he made a mistake in his prediction and didn't sit in the correct position. He just sat on the edge of the chair. As a result, he slid down and sat on the ground.Suddenly, he scratched with both hands, trying to grab the table, but ended up grabbing the documents on the table, and scattered those documents instead.

Philot looked a little dumbfounded, and saw the governor fell on all fours, in a panic.

The others naturally saw it too, and the sudden appearance of this scene made one of them who had no ears laugh immediately.But he immediately came back to his senses, as if he shouldn't have laughed, so he quickly stopped talking.

There was a panic in the house, but fortunately no one was injured, just a big shock.Panting, Diego sat down again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do!
The Ming Dynasty declared war, and the troops dispatched by such a huge empire were definitely in units of ten thousand.It's just this little force on Luzon Island, how to fight?Even if this time we won the battle with great difficulty, what if the Ming Dynasty sent another army?
Unless... unless this time the Ming army is defeated cleanly and let the Ming army know that they have no chance of winning in this sea, only in this way can they win this war!
However, with Luzon's current strength, is it possible?
Or, 36 count directly is the best?However, without the king's will, if you abandon Luzon and run away, you will definitely be punished if you go back!
The more he thought about it, the more sweat there was on Diego's bald forehead, and he couldn't wipe it off no matter how much he wiped.

If he knew that the deployment of Luzon's troops was all explained by Filot and others, he might not have any idea of ​​​​winning the Ming army at all.

But obviously, he didn't expect this, and Philot and the others, they both wrote the confession to each other, so they had already made an appointment with each other on the land back, and no one said anything, no one mentioned it. If you do, you will be beaten to death by others!

The atmosphere in the house seemed extremely tense.For a while, no one spoke, and everyone looked ugly.

Suddenly, I heard Philot say: "Mr. Governor, maybe I have a way!"

Hearing this, Diego couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly looked up at him, urging him to say, "What can I do, tell me quickly!"

The others were also curious, so they all looked at Filot, wondering what he could do?

They didn't know that Filot was actually thinking about running away just now.However, fleeing to the Americas, without the help of the warm Pacific Current, it is basically impossible to survive on the other side, so I didn't think about fleeing there.

Then he has only one idea, run to Africa, and return to Spain from where.

However, he soon thought that if he escaped from this route, he would have to pass through the Strait of Malacca, or the Sunda Strait a little further away.

However, the Strait of Malacca was previously controlled by the Portuguese, but has now been snatched by the Dutch.As for the Sunda Strait, it is the closest to the Dutch base camp in the east.

Whether it is the Portuguese or the Dutch, they are all Spanish rebels, and it won't work!

When thinking of this, Filot suddenly had an idea in his heart.

At this time, when he heard the Governor's urging question, he replied: "Your Excellency, we may unite with the Dutch, so that we may be able to fight the Ming army at sea and defeat them."

"Impossible!" Diego categorically denied upon hearing this, "Those are rebellious..."

After saying this, he suddenly realized that at present, maybe this is the only way, so he frowned and changed his words, "Even if we have the heart, those Dutch will form an alliance with us against the Ming Dynasty. Army?"

Hearing that the governor had changed his words, Filot immediately replied: "Do you still remember, the governor, before there was news that the Dutch strongholds in Taiwan were captured by the Ming army, and everyone was killed! They have a grudge, and they will form an alliance with us to fight against the Ming army!"

At this point, he thought for a while and then added: "Also, now that the Portuguese have become the accomplices of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely want to dominate the Far East. Therefore, the next step is likely to use troops against the Dutch... …”

Pausing for a moment, rolling his eyes, Philot immediately said again: "Even if we won't use troops against the Dutch, we can show that China will definitely use troops against the Dutch!"

Hearing this, Diego thought about it carefully, and then stood up with a little joy and said: "Okay, at least there is still a little hope. You just go and convince the Dutch Send the fleet over to help!"

When he said this, he looked at Filot, and added: "You have had two ears cut off, yes, let the Dutch see how cruel the Ming army is to us!"

I was cut off two ears, you still think it's good?Filot couldn't help scolding Diego in his heart, but he also had to admit that he could sell miserably like this.

Time is running out, and I don't know if the Dutch will finally agree to send troops. Even if they send troops, they don't know if they will be able to come over in time to help.

Therefore, without further ado, Filot, without even taking a sip of water, immediately set out for Batavia in their fastest sailboat in Spain to find the Dutchman.

Sometimes, God really dozes off, and luck will not always be on the side of the Ming army.

From the perspective of the distance, the voyage from Hoi An to Luzon in Annan is much shorter than that from Manila to Batavia in Luzon.Even if the Dutch can send troops immediately after hearing the news, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the battle in Luzon, at least it is impossible to catch up with the previous battle.

But God did them a favor and made them an alliance.
