Zheng Zhilong has been floating on the sea for half his life.

He is fluent in several languages, including Spanish and Portuguese.

So I have a deep understanding of these red-haired ghosts.

Spain is very strong. Although the garrison in Luzon is only about 4000 people, it has excellent weapons and high-quality armor.Most importantly, they have been cultivating in Manila for decades.

Although Zheng Zhilong was already the commander-in-chief of a province, Tai Nanbo was personally appointed by His Majesty.But he was still a pirate in the cloak of a businessman in his heart. He believed in peace making money, but this peace, in his opinion, was forged by powerful force.

These Spaniards came all the way to Luzon, not to help these Luzon natives live a good life in peace and contentment.

He had made up his mind before dispatching troops. If Olaza didn't give an explanation this time, he would give him some color.

In the past, he was not afraid of the Dutch, and now that his strength has greatly increased, he is even less afraid of these Spaniards.

After sailing for a day and two nights, the fleet successfully arrived outside Manila Bay, only twenty miles away from Corregidor Island.

"Zhi Bao, order the fleet to disperse and block the exit of Manila Bay."

"yes, Sir!"

"Zhifeng, you lead people to surround Corregidor Island."

"yes, Sir!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Corregidor Island with a telescope, and gave orders to Zheng Zhibao and others beside him.

After several people took orders, they left the flagship.

Corregidor Island is small in size, but its location is extremely important.

It happens to be at the entrance of Manila Bay, and any ship trying to enter Manila Bay cannot escape his detection.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet naturally couldn't escape.

"Sir! Look! There's a huge fleet out there!"

A soldier holding a binoculars yelled loudly, and his officer looked in the direction of his finger when he heard the words, and there were faintly a group of black spots on the sea level between them.He snatched the soldier's binoculars and became nervous after seeing clearly.

Too much!

With so many ships appearing here at the same time, it must be that the comers were not good.

"Light up the beacon to warn Manila, and send another ship to report to the Governor's Palace!"

"Yes, sir!"

Several soldiers moved quickly, and a quarter of an hour later, a small boat sailed out of Corregidor Island.At this time, the fifty warships led by Zheng Zhifeng were getting closer and closer to Corregidor Island.The officer also saw the flag on Zheng Zhifeng's boat!

"Global Commerce! It's Zheng Zhilong's fleet!"

The officer screamed.

He vaguely guessed why the other party would suddenly appear here.Their governor bought other people's grain seeds at the beginning of the year and promised to sell the grain to others after harvest.As a result, when it was the harvest season, people came to negotiate a good opportunity, but they didn't plan to sell it to them.He knew about it.

"Sir, the opponent is approaching. It seems that they intend to surround Corregidor Island. Can we fire?"

"Fuck you! Are you out of your mind? Why do you beat so many people?"

Since the other party didn't take the initiative to launch an attack, it means that there is still room for relaxation, and there is still room for discussion.If I overestimated my ability to fire, I am afraid that no matter whether the battle is fought or not, I am afraid that I will be the first to lose my life.

"They don't launch an attack, and we can't take the initiative to attack. Look at what these smart people are doing all the way here."

Zheng Zhifeng surrounded Corregidor Island almost arbitrarily, and then controlled the large and small ships docked by the island.

After finishing all this, Zheng Zhifeng sent a Spanish-speaking person to the island with two guards.Found Torres, the highest officer on the island, who was the one who just stopped the soldiers from firing.

"May I ask why your warships surrounded our island of Corregidor?" Torres said angrily.

"You don't know?" The person who landed on the island is called Quan Zongguang, whose ancestral home is Fujian. In his early years, he followed the smuggling fleet to and from Luzon to do business, so he can speak Spanish.Quan Zongguang remembered Zheng Zhifeng's exhortation, raised his face and pretended to be proud and asked back.

In fact, he was a little nervous, and brought two guards to the chassis alone, saying that he was not afraid would be a lie.

But Zheng Zhifeng told him that even if he spit on these people's faces, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you!Quan Zongguang naturally didn't dare to spit in people's faces, but he still had the guts to put on airs.

"How would I know? We have always been friends with Daming, and we have a lot of business contacts. What do you mean by this?"

"Stop pretending to be confused! What about the food? It was agreed at the beginning! Why didn't you sell it to us!?"

"Here, the grain hasn't been harvested yet."

"I don't believe it! Unless you let our people go to the island and take a look at the ground."

"I can't be the master of this."

"I know. I didn't intend to let you make the decision. You send someone now to bring a message to your governor. This food, he has to sell it. If he doesn't sell it, he has to sell it! We have [-] warships this time! He doesn't understand, huh!"

Quan Zongguang became confident at this time.

Sure enough, it was the same as what the boss said, no matter how crazy he was.None of them dared to move themselves.

Torres was furious.

They have been domineering in Luzon for so many years, and they have always been the ones who bully others, but they did not expect to be threatened by a young man today.

But he really didn't dare to ask him to do anything to Quan Zongguang.After all, being surrounded by fifty warships is not such a wonderful thing.

"I will send someone to report this matter to the governor right now."

"Our commander-in-chief said that if there is no reply after two hours, we will launch an attack!"

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

After returning to his boat, Quan Zongguang quietly wiped off his cold sweat.

I can be regarded as going around the ghost gate, alas, sometimes knowing a foreign language is not necessarily a good thing.

"How do you say it?" Seeing Quan Zongguang come back, Zheng Zhifeng asked.

"According to the wishes of the general soldier, let him send someone back to Manila to deliver the letter."

"Ah."

Zheng Zhifeng nodded.Olaza must have known about his side's swaggering approach.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When the beacon fire was ignited on Corregidor Island, some soldiers reported the situation here to Olaza.

At first Olaza didn't care much about it, thinking it was just a signal to guide the ship's navigation.

But soon after Torres sent people to report the situation at the entrance of Manila, Olaza suddenly changed color.

"Are these smart people crazy!? There are so many people here!? Is it possible to start a full-scale war!?" Olaza said angrily.

"Your Excellency, Nicholas Yiguan must have come to ask for food!" said Franco on the side.

"Need food? It's only a million acres of food, and it's said that it's not as much as a vassal's family property. Is this food worth such a big fight?" Olaza frowned and wondered.

"Your Excellency, that's not what you said. I think these smart people are concerned about face from top to bottom. At this time, when the troops come here, I'm afraid they feel that we have unilaterally tore up the treaty and we can't keep face. So I want to ask for an explanation."

"Then what should we do now? The food is packed and ready to be shipped back to the country."

"I don't know." Franco spread his hands and answered very simply.The disaster was caused by you, you didn't listen to what you said at the beginning, but now you ask me what to do, how would I know?

Olaza stared at him angrily, and his temper immediately flared up.

"Damn it! What's the big deal! Do you think I'm afraid of him? Order our fleet to stand by and ask for food! Come if you want to fight!"

Franco looked at the angry Olaza and stood beside him without saying a word.

After a while, the second wave of messengers sent by Carles arrived.

"Your Excellency, the Ming people said. This time they summoned [-] large and small warships and nearly [-] soldiers! The purpose is to get food! We have to sell this food! Sell it if you don't sell it! They also said that within an hour If you still don’t have an accurate word, he will directly lead the army to attack Manila!”

After listening to Olaza, he was completely overwhelmed!

robber!Mad robber!

We just don't sell you food!Is there such a thing as a bully?

"Hit it! As long as they dare to shoot, let's fight back immediately! Let them see how powerful our Spanish cannon is!" Olaza was about to go crazy, knocking the silver tea set on the table to the ground, and the warm coffee was scattered on the ground. On the precious wool carpet made in Ming Dynasty.And Olaza didn't care, pacing back and forth in the room. "No! We take the initiative! Show them some color! Let them know how powerful we are!"

"No, my lord governor!" Franco couldn't sit still.

What a joke.

Let alone whether we can win or not, can this battle be fought like this?

"Your Excellency, you can't fight! Nicholas Yiguan is powerful, and these [-] warships are only half of his men. Even if we win this battle, he will definitely not let it go in the future. Right now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is very talented and ambitious. It’s huge, it’s very belligerent! Isn’t it just a reason for them to send troops? Besides, we already have an increasingly powerful enemy. If we offend another big eastern country that is stronger than the Netherlands, Will surely fall into a deeper quagmire!

We came to do business with Daming and offended him.As for His Majesty the King, how does the Governor-General explain? "
