Da Ming started to ascend the throne
Page 649
El Salvador served as the governor of Manila for more than ten years. During his tenure, although Ming banned them from preaching, he still established a trade relationship with Ming.
In addition to earning huge wealth for Spain in these years, he also packed his own pockets bulging. Today, it can be said that he has achieved fame and retired.
It stands to reason that Salvador should be very reluctant to step down from such a good position, but judging from his attitude and performance, it is not clear that she has any nostalgia for the governor at all.
Outsiders don't know what's going on, but Salvador knows very well that he must leave Manila with the oil and water he has earned over the years, otherwise it is likely to be nothing.
All this is because of the information he received, that is, Da Ming has not only captured Batavia, but also acquired all the more than 1 islands around Batavia.
This is clearly a sign that the powerful empire of Ming Dynasty began to expand to Southeast Asia. Salvador had fought against Ming Dynasty during his tenure.
When the Ming Dynasty attacked Taiwan, El Salvador sent five warships to watch the battle. Once they had the opportunity, they took advantage of the situation and took the city of Zeelandia, which had been captured by the Dutch.
However, their fleet was discovered by Ming warships. The Royal Spanish Navy, which has always been known as the Invincible Fleet at Sea, was sunk by the Ming Navy in the Taiwan Strait.
Salvador, the experienced old fox, not only did not protest to Daming, but acted as if nothing had happened.
It's not that he doesn't want to send a fleet to attack the Ming Navy, but that he got information that the Ming Navy actually has iron-clad warships.
This information almost scared El Salvador to death. Ironclad battleships were something they didn't even dare to think about, and they couldn't build them at all.
Possessing a real iron-clad battleship shows that the Eastern Empire is already so powerful that they can only look up to it, and it is not bad to be able to protect itself.
The cunning Salvador knew that to attack Daming was to give away his head, he never dared to offend Daming, and only wanted to do business with Daming.
When he learned that Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to attack Batavia for the first time, Cosalvado immediately wanted to pack up and leave, the sooner the better.
This is why El Salvador has no nostalgia for the position of Governor of Manila.
So when he saw Coquila coming to take over as the governor of Manila, he was as happy as seeing his own father.
Now that he returns to Spain, he can be said to have gained both fame and fortune, and the money he earns is enough for her to spend three lifetimes, and there will be a generous pension by then.
They first held a welcome banquet for Coquera, and after they were full, the two governors began to hand over the work in hand.
The original team under Salvador's command did not move, but he retired honorably alone, so the handover work was completed quickly, and two hours was enough time.

Chapter 532 Santiago Castle
After the handover of the work of the two colonial governors, El Salvador was ready to flee.
Before leaving, the old fox did not forget to give his best wishes to the new Governor Coquera:
"Dear Governor Coquila, I have been wandering abroad for many years and miss my hometown very much, and now your Excellency has taken over as the new Governor.
I have decided to leave Luzon tomorrow morning. I have heard that Your Excellency is a rare talent in the Kingdom of Spain. I believe that Luzon will be more prosperous under your governance. "
Although Salvador said so, he was thinking about how to leave Luzon quickly.
Where is Coquila a once-in-a-century talent? El Salvador is just flattering him in order to get away earlier.
The youthful and arrogant Coquila thought he was great, but now he was completely stunned by the old fox Salvatore.
He suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was not only cute but also worthy of respect, he reached out and grabbed Salvatore's big hand and said:
"My lord, thank you for your compliment. I was reluctant to let you leave so soon. I still have a lot to learn from you, but in order to let you return to China earlier to enjoy the blessings, I decided to arrange a warship to see you off early tomorrow morning."
Coquera's decision almost made the old fox laugh, and he was so happy in his heart. Salvador is still young, and he decided to work harder:
"The governor is doing well, and he really does things differently. The Kingdom of Spain is definitely lucky to have such an excellent young governor like you. I will not disturb your Excellency the governor, and I will leave."
After Salvador finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. There are still a lot of things and gold and silver in the house that need to be packed, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow.
But Corquila grabbed Salvatore in excitement:
"Your Excellency, go slowly, we will hold a farewell dance for you tonight, please be sure to show your face."
In Manila, Coquera has the final say now, and Salvador didn't dare to lose face to Coquera in order to get out earlier, so he had to agree against his will.
"Okay, thank you Governor for your kindness, Salvador, thank you very much!"
In this way, Coquila led all the senior officials of the Governor's Mansion in Manila to hold a grand reception for the former Governor.
During the reception, whether it was beauties of all skin colors or various wines, there was no attraction for El Salvador.
Salvador was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and his only thought was to end the reception as soon as possible.
The reception didn't end until late at night, and Salvador was finally relieved, and hurried back to order his servants to pack up.
Early the next morning, Salvador packed up his things, loaded ten carriages, and hurried to the pier.
Coquera was completely fooled by Salvador, and actually sent him a warship, planning to let the warship send Salvador back to Spain.
And personally went to the pier to see him off, which made Salvador feel a little guilty and blush?
But for his own benefit, for his family, and for millions of taels of gold and silver, he still didn't tell Kequela the news that Daming occupied the whole Batavia.
Because he was worried that once Daming attacked Luzon, he would never have the opportunity to bring so much gold and silver back to Spain.
Before leaving, Salvador pulled the current Governor of Manila and said earnestly:
"I really appreciate your Excellency Governor sending you off. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely invite Your Excellency the Governor to drink. This is a small thing. Please accept it, Your Excellency Governor.
There is another thing to remind Your Excellency, the Ming Dynasty in the north is very powerful now, it is best not to provoke them, farewell! "
"Thank you for your advice, my lord, and I wish you a safe journey."
Coquila looked at the bank note in his hand, and was startled at the time. The face value of the bank note actually reached [-] silver coins, which made Coquela's heart beat faster.Recommended reading m.tv./.tv./
However, he did not shirk it. Since El Salvador gave him so much money, it meant that he would definitely earn more money as the governor, and fifty thousand was just a drop in the bucket.
Seeing the battleship hoist its sails and start to go away, Corquila seemed to feel that his chance to make money had come.
After the ammunition of the Daming Navy and Army was replenished, the battleship immediately anchored and the troops set off for Malacca and Ceylon in two routes.
Zhu Youjian wanted to completely drive the Dutch forces out of Nanyang before returning to Ming Dynasty.
According to Jin Yiwei's information, the Netherlands does not have many troops in Ceylon, so it should be relatively easy for Ming to take it.
But the strategic position of Malacca is very important. It controls the seafood of Malacca, and there are more troops in the castle, reaching as many as [-].
Regardless of the colonists such as the Netherlands or Portugal or Spain and England, their population is not large.
Conquer the local indigenous people and small countries, all rely on the advanced firearms of the colonists.
It can't be compared with Da Ming at all, it is a war with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.
