Chapter 317 Franco is Confident

A group of people who were about to surrender came to Balanga with trepidation.

Before it got close, it attracted the attention of the Spanish side of the city.

The soldiers quickly reported the news to Olaza.

"My lord, nearly a thousand rebels are approaching Balanga!"

"The siege is coming?" Olaza asked, putting down the water glass in his hand.

"It doesn't look like they are armed or armored."

"Oh? Could it be that he came to surrender?" Olaza stood up. "Go, have a look."

He sent someone to notify Franco, and under the guidance of the soldiers, he came all the way to the city wall. Looking outside, he saw a large group of soldiers holding white flags standing outside the range of the artillery.

"Hahaha. They really came to surrender. There are quite a few people." Olaza laughed, and some people surrendered, which showed that their strategy had worked. "Send someone out of town and ask them what they do."

"My lord governor, is there any happy event? Why are you so happy?" Olaza was feeling happy when Franco boarded the top of the wall.

"Oh, Franco. Come and see, there are rebels surrendering outside!"

Upon hearing this, Franco quickly took out his binoculars and looked out of the city.I saw the surrendered troops of the rebel army in loose formation and without soldiers or armor.

"Good thing!"

"I've sent people out of town to meet them. I'd love to shoot 'em!"

"My lord governor, that's not right. Only when they enter the city can they be slaughtered by us."

"I know, just talk about it casually." Olaza looked helpless, with no sense of humor at all.

A group of soldiers with muskets and spears left the city. The number was about a thousand, all of whom were elite regular Spanish troops.

The reason why so many people were dispatched was to prevent the other party from falsely surrendering and setting up an ambush.

Facts have proved that Olaza was thinking too much. These rebels who raised the white flag really surrendered.

After some negotiations, they were taken to the city by Spanish soldiers, and Olaza was ready to receive them.

Standing on the city wall, he arrogantly looked down at the surrendered rebels.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the governor sent by His Majesty King Felipe Forty to help you live a good life in Luzon. You can call me the governor. When I first heard about your rebellion, I I was deeply surprised. I really don’t understand why you rebelled when you lived a good life, had clothes to wear and food to eat.

But then I figured it out.All because of greed!You want to take all the harvest in the land for yourself, you feel that your wings are stiff, and you want to get rid of our help and rely on yourself.But I tell you today that this will not work, no one can refuse the help of Spain!You feel that you have the strength to resist us, but you have received help from others.

Let me guess, who is this naughty ghost hiding behind your back?Is it from the Netherlands?Or Mingren?It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'm only responsible for counting.I kill one person every five counts. If there is no answer, I will keep killing.Actually, I don't mind killing you all.Ok, now to start.

One, two, three, four, five... It seems that no one knows, let's do it. "

Olaza gave an order, and a rebel soldier at the front of the crowd was shot in the head.

Seeing that the person was really dead, the rest of them became frightened, and before Olaza could speak, they screamed wildly.

"Smart man!"

"It's Ming! Your Excellency Governor!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. It's Ming! It is said that he came from somewhere."

A soldier managed to attract Olaza's attention. He motioned for everyone to be quiet, then walked down the city wall and called the soldier out.

"What's your name?" Olaza tried to force a smile on his face.

"My name is Lupe."

"You just said that the people who secretly supported your rebellion were Ming people?"

"Yes, my lord! It is Ming! From where."

"Taiwan?"

"That's right! It's Taiwan."

"How many people came?"

"There were more than 100 people in the first wave, and the leader's surname was Zheng!"

"Surname Zheng?" Olaza muttered, frowning.I don't know if it has anything to do with Zheng Zhilong, that guy is not a mess.But the relationship between the two parties was just okay before, even now there are trade contacts, why would they suddenly send people to Luzon to make trouble?Could it be that Daming is coveting this place?

"You just said the first wave, and the second wave?"

"Yes, there are more than 100 people in the second wave, and the leader's surname is Lu. But it feels different from the first wave."

"Why is it different?"

"The clothes used by the second wave of people seem to be better. They also brought a lot of unknown firearms."

"how?"

"I don't know, the things are strictly guarded by their people, and we have never seen it."

"Your leader's name is Conley?"

"Yes."

"Did he say why he led you to rebel?"

"He said he wanted us to live a good life. I also heard that he is the blood of the king."

King's blood?How can it be! ?

Olazar frowned.According to their internal records.The first governor who once occupied Luzon, Delegaspi, had secretly executed him and all his relatives after abolishing the land king of the Kingdom of Menila.Where did this Luzon get the blood of the king?It must be fake!

"Did Conley say where he plans to go next?"

"I don't know. Our actions seem to be decided only by the general surnamed Zheng."

After Olaza heard it, he was sure that Conley was a puppet.Although they didn't ask anything of great value, at least it was certain that this rebellion was secretly supported by the Ming people behind the scenes.But knowing it is one thing, and how to deal with it is another.

For example, he was a little hesitant about how to deal with the nearly thousand surrendered rebels in front of him.

"Franco, kill all these guys?"

"Your Excellency Governor, there is no need to be like this. Most of these guys surrendered for the lives of their families. We can use this to control them. Even if they are not useful, it is still possible to do some chores."

"It makes sense." Olaza nodded. "But only 1000 people surrendered, what about the remaining rebels?"

"Since they don't surrender, let's take their families to beat them and see what they are going to do!" Franco said with a sinister smile.

"Okay! That's it! Let them identify people immediately, and leave after it's over!"

Olaza agreed with Franco's strategy very much and agreed without hesitation.

Franco ordered people to take these surrendered rebels to the place where their families were held, and let them find their relatives by themselves.Half an hour later, he led soldiers out of the city with more than 100 unclaimed family members.

This time he brought [-] heavily armed Spanish soldiers, [-] natives, and [-] artillery pieces.

With such a luxurious lineup, Franco is full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
