When Liu Wentian heard this, he turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao, he was just trying to show off.

Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly, and said in a dignified manner: "Okay, tell me."

Adawa has seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty clearly, and feels uneasy, but still thinks that Ankaya's decision is wise, otherwise they will never survive today.

Adawa saluted Cao Wenzhao again, and said: "Your Excellency, General, we are willing to negotiate a peace with Ming, compensate Ming for its military expenses and losses, and apologize for the previous recklessness, and compensate the victims. Please let Ming go." Soldiers..."

Cao Wenzhao looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Song is my Ming Dynasty's vassal state, and it is our Ming territory, which was invaded maliciously by you. Now that our army has descended, it is only natural to take back the homeland. Why do you say that we should stop the army?"

Adawa naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty would not withdraw its troops, it was just a negotiation skill, he looked at Cao Wenzhao, and said: "Dear General, we have been here for a long time, and we are willing to pay a considerable price to rent here, I do not know Can you agree?"

Before Cao Wenzhao came, he had been ordered by Zhu Xu to bring the entire South China Sea under the rule of Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there was no need for negotiation. Three ways!"

This is still a negotiating skill, and in the end is what Adawa came to fight for. The first two are for this. Hope to obtain residency, trade rights, and judicial power..."

Cao Wenzhao snorted coldly and said, "You have no rights, you are captives, or corpses!"

Adawa frowned. This was what he was looking forward to, a better result. He had expected the Ming Dynasty to refuse, and said with a more difficult expression: "Dear General, we came here with sincerity. We have also been in business for decades, and we have more territories overseas. I believe that the Ming Dynasty also has needed products, and we are willing to serve you..."

Cao Wenzhao stood up and said solemnly: "You have only one way to surrender unconditionally, otherwise we will order a strong attack immediately!"

Adawa frowned, this time for real.

Ming Guo's resolute attitude was a little too much, which made him lose any basis for negotiation.He didn't have any bargaining chips in his hand. Now that the Ming army is pressing the border, the only option is to die.

However, Adawa still struggled and said: "Respect Your Excellency, the price we can pay will definitely make the general's heart move, the general may wish to think about it."

The Dutch East India Company is similar to a country within a country, with great power. Spain is different, but there are still many people who can "obey the power" thousands of miles away.

Cao Wenzhao looked at him and said in a stern tone: "I will warn you for the last time, if you don't surrender, send troops immediately!"

Adawa's face changed slightly, finally seeing Ming Chao's determination, his eyes flickered for a while, and he said: "General, please wait for me for a while, I will discuss it with Miss Ankaya before replying."

Cao Wenzhao said with a sullen face, "This is your last chance!" It's better to save trouble.

Adawa took another look at the strict military appearance of the Ming Dynasty, the heavy cannons, and the brand-new spears. He turned around and walked slowly into the thick smoke that still hadn't dissipated.

Cao Wenzhao turned sideways to Liu Wentian, and said in a low voice, "You lead people to surround this place, and no one is allowed to escape!"

"Yes!" Liu Wentian understood, and hastily ordered troops in response.

Adawa returned to the basement in the thick smoke, and told Ankaya about the confrontation with Cao Wenzhao just now.

Ankaya was not surprised, she sat there silently for a while, and said: "Ming has the upper hand now, and it is normal for them to be tough."

Adawa stood beside her and said, "We have no other choice but to surrender, but if we surrender, there will be no room for negotiation."

There were only Ankaya and Adawa in the secret room. She looked at Adawa and said after a while, "I have a gold and silver mine in my hand, but I didn't tell Acunia."

Adawa opened his eyes, but did not speak.

Now the hard currency in the world is silver, and of course there is gold, but it is still a silver standard, so silver is money and everything!Therefore, whenever the European colonists went to a place, the first thing they did was to explore the minerals, and then organize slaves to mine.

Ankaya holds a gold and silver mine unknown to outsiders, which is definitely a powerful bargaining chip!

"Let's go."

Ankaya brushed her hair and was about to walk outside.

Adawa said: "I'll go and order them to give up resistance and let the Ming people enter the city." Now there are still some Spaniards outside, and the Filipinos are hiding in some places to resist stubbornly.

Ankaya didn't speak. She had surrendered on this trip, and it didn't make any difference if she disarmed first and then disarmed later.

After An Kaya came out, the first thing she said when she saw Cao Wenzhao was: "An Kaya, invite the generals of the Ming Kingdom to enter the city."

Cao Wenzhao looked at Ankaya, waved his hand, and ordered the Musketeers, Arrow and Artillery soldiers to enter the city and take over the Spanish royal city that had turned into rubble.

An Kaya was not in a hurry to negotiate with Cao Wenzhao, and was taken away obediently and guarded.

With Adawa Xuanda's "surrender order", there were not many white people left and some Filipino natives came out slowly, and were recruited by the Ming army and guarded aside.

The city was basically reduced to rubble, and Cao Wenzhao couldn't get in. He just stood outside and watched, thinking about how to rebuild it. At this moment, his heart moved, and he remembered that Yu Anxing was still on the last boat. Did not come down.

Yu Anxing is the governor of Luzon appointed by Zhu Xuqin. In a short time, he will be the governor and governor.

"Go and invite Master Yu to disembark, there is basically no threat." Cao Wenzhao said, there are not many ships in Manila Bay, and they cannot threaten their fleet.

"Yes!" The guard beside him responded.

Cao Wenzhao is not good at this kind of "post-disaster reconstruction". Yu Anxing was the governor of Fujian and Fujian before, so this should not be difficult for him.

"My lord, the leader of the merchants has come to see me." A soldier came to report.

Cao Wenzhao turned his head and looked, not far away under the guard of soldiers, a middle-aged man was looking at him expectantly.

These should be Yu Anxing's affairs, but now Cao Wenzhao can't ignore them, saying: "Let him come over."

"Caomin Dingyi has met General Cao, and congratulates General Cao on his great victory, showing our country's prestige!"

Ding Yi came up to him and said politely.He is a middle-aged man with a refined look. Although he tried his best to appear neither humble nor overbearing, his face was still full of excitement.

Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you sir!" Ding Yi's voice was still a little trembling, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Cao Wenzhao raised his head and chest, showing the demeanor of a great general who conquered the sea, looked at Ding Yi and said in a deep voice: "The emperor was furious when he learned that the Frangji men slaughtered the merchants of our dynasty, and ordered this general to lead the army to crusade. The city of Manila will definitely wipe out Franji, so don't worry about it!"

Ding Yi was also a survivor of the previous Spanish butcher knife. Hearing this, his eyes were red, and he knelt and kowtowed to the north, saying: "The emperor is holy! Overseas people, thank God, long live my emperor!"

Cao Wenzhao looked at him and secretly sighed in his heart: "You are also lucky. If you change to another emperor, you will have to wait and die..."

Ding Yi knelt on the ground for a long time before getting up, raised his hand to Cao Wenzhao, and said sincerely: "The general is coming far away, is there any villain who can help? There are tens of thousands of merchants in Luzon. , the general needs it, even if you speak bluntly."

Naturally, there are too many things that need their help, but right now, Cao Wenzhao said: "As you can see, the king's city has been flattened by the general, and I need a temporary yamen to handle affairs."

Ding You was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Don't worry, general, we have a manor to the east of the king's city, which is used to grow bananas and tobacco, which is just right for the general to use!"

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and said: "Lu Song is a vassal of our Ming Dynasty, and now the country has been destroyed by Franji. The emperor is kind enough to allow the establishment of a propaganda department in Lu Song, a governor's office, a governor's office to manage, and other prefectures and counties. They will be established one after another. Luzon people are generally ignorant and not civilized enough. You have waited here for many years and are familiar with this place, so you have to take the responsibility of enlightening..."

Ding Yi was taken aback, and it took him a while to vaguely understand Cao Wenzhao's meaning, and he said nervously, "General, do you mean that I'm going to be an official in Luzon?"

Ding Yi is really worried. They have been working overseas all year round. The reason why they are called "survivors" is not people who have subjugated the country, but people who have been abandoned. From all over the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the court, local officials, or even ordinary people Even their parents, wives and children look down on them extremely, thinking that they are unfilial people who abandon their families and careers and their ancestors.So Cao Wenzhao's sudden affirmation shocked Ding Yi very much.

Cao Wenzhao said: "Well, before leaving, the emperor issued an edict to the entire Ming Dynasty, 'there is no distinction between people who are high or low, and there is no distinction between inside and outside'. Even though you are overseas, you are also my citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and you should not treat them differently."

Ding You has been looking straight at Cao Wenzhao, his eyes are red, his heart is full of grievances and excitement, suddenly he knelt down to the north, the direction of the capital, and shouted loudly: "Ding Yi, a grass-roots man, thank the emperor for his kindness. Loyal to Daming, loyal to the emperor, if you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning, and you will die..."
