"They surrendered!"

In the thick gunpowder smoke, a white flag fluttered, even the billowing gunpowder smoke could hardly hide its "brilliance", absolutely dazzling.

The white flag raised by the Spaniards made Shi Yiwen smile quite proudly.

"Okay, this battle, we won!"

After saying this, he looked towards the deck. The sailors' uniforms had turned gray-black, and their faces were covered with gunpowder ash. Although they looked extremely tired, all of them had All brimming with excitement.

Won!

It turns out that victory is as simple as that... In fact, victory is not simple. Those corpses lying on the deck all show the brutality of the battle...

Of course, compared to the Ming army sailors in Beigang, after the three-hour naval battle, the Spaniards seemed to have gone through hell.

On the sea, there are fragments of ships everywhere, as well as Spanish sailors struggling in the sea, and floating corpses.

Why is this happening?

No one knows, but all Spaniards know very well that they lost, and they lost badly!

The ship sank and the people were floating on the sea.

The remaining three ships also lowered their sails and raised their white flags.

Wades is very depressed!

After ordering the surrender, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he became the first Spanish naval commander to surrender to the natives!

Surrender to the natives!

This is simply a shame, but he has no choice at all, because the other party's black muzzle is aimed directly at his ship, as long as he gives an order, he will definitely go to see the heavenly father.

"Father, please forgive my sins!"

As Valdes murmured in his heart, when the other Spaniards looked at the Chinese desperately, they finally saw clearly the sailors of Ming Dynasty. They were wearing white uniforms, and although they were full of gunpowder smoke, they looked neat. They all look very strong, and they are also very tall.

"It seems that there is no shame in being defeated by them..."

Of course, surrender is still a matter of surrender. When Wades boarded the warship of the Ming army and handed over his sword, he expressed his surrender.

Taking his saber, Shi Yiwen said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you should be very clear that this is the land of Daming. Although Shi does not want to start a war, your country has invaded our territory of Ming Dynasty. As the consolation envoy of Beigang of Daming, I have the responsibility to guard the territory, but I cannot guard our territory. , defend our people!"

This is really the most hypocritical words, Wades said in his heart, even though he was a prisoner, he still said relentlessly.

"My lord's responsibility is true, but why is your lord's responsibility limited to us? Spain just came here, and the Dutch invaded your lord as early as two years ago. Why do you still tolerate them continuing to occupy your land?" What about the land? Does it mean that, for the Lord, the duty of the Lord is only for the Dutch?"

"Dutch!"

Shi Yiwen sneered.

"They won't be able to play for a few days. The senior members are members of Daming, whether they are Spaniards or Dutch, Daming will not give up an inch of land!"

"You are going to attack the master!"

Wades exclaimed.

"Is your lord really going to attack you?"

"It's recovery!"

Shi Yiwen replied directly.

"The Dutch occupy our land in Ming Dynasty, Shi will naturally lead the troops to recover the lost land!"

"Ah, my lord..."

Wades' eyes lit up, and then said.

"I think we can reach a consensus on this issue! My lord, please believe that we have common interests with you on this point—the Netherlands is also Spain's enemy!"

In fact, the reason why Spain invaded Dongfan was entirely because of the Dutch.In Asia, the Netherlands has always been the biggest enemy of Spain. Because of the Dutch War of Independence, the two countries have been in a state of hostility. Given that the prosperity of Manila comes from the silk of Ming Dynasty and the silver trade in the Americas, after the failure of attacking Manila, the Dutch began to turn. And attack the ships in and out of Manila in these two places.But even so, there are still Chinese businessmen who are willing to take the risk to go to Manila.This made the Dutch understand that harassing offensives alone are not enough. Only by stealing the Philippines' trade with China can the Spaniards be completely eradicated.Therefore, the Dutch talents changed their strategy and planned to establish a stronghold near Daming. After several twists and turns, they finally selected the senior members of Nandongfan.

After occupying Dayuan, Ming merchants were more willing to trade in Dayuan by virtue of the distance advantage. Only then did the Manila authorities realize the seriousness of the situation. In order to break through the blockade of the Dutch, they decided to establish a stronghold in Dongfan.But they didn't expect that as soon as the fleet was sent here, the Ming army would come over there, and then... a tragedy would happen.

As the commander of the fleet, Wades, facing the reality that his life is about to become a tragedy, learned about Ming's attitude from the words of Master Shi, and also realized the opportunity.

"My lord, the Netherlands is also Spain's enemy. If your lord wants to attack you, I think there is room for us to cooperate."

cooperate!

Establish a direct cooperative relationship with Chinese officials!

In an instant, Wades saw an opportunity!
It's not just a chance for redemption, but an advantage for Spain to take the initiative in future trade. In fact, Spain has never established an official relationship with Ming Dynasty, although since the Spaniards opened up the Philippine colony, Manila His survival depends on trade with Ming merchants, but his contact with Ming officials is almost zero.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty in this era was arrogant and also conceited. He could learn European science with an open mind, but he did not establish official ties with the Spaniards and the Dutch. As for trade, it was also dominated by the people.

Has nothing to do with the official.

But those Europeans were different, they were eager to establish direct contact with the Ming officials.

Now, Wades sees this opportunity.

If we can cooperate with the Ming government... even if it is just a trade cooperation, that would be a great achievement!

Even if he returned to Manila as a defeated man, he would still be respected by people, because he got a wish that everyone dreamed of - cooperation with the Chinese government.

"Space for collaboration?"

Looking at Wades and seeing his ecstasy, Shi Yiwen sneered secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a Western colonist!

All of them are masters who are good at dog-eat-dog!In order to defeat competitors, in the process of colonial expansion, they always form alliances with local states and attack the other side. Why?Isn't it still for a foothold!

But this is also good, this can just help you solve some problems.

"Then tell me and listen!"
