Chapter 491 Sobrino's Ambition

Two quarters of an hour later, inside the Governor's Palace in Manila.

Zheng Zhilong saw the captured Zheng Zhibao and a red-haired ghost.

"Brother, okay, why are you arresting me?"

When Zheng Zhibao saw his elder brother, he cried out aggrievedly.

"To shut up!"

Zheng Zhilong stared and scolded, then looked at a group of red-haired ghosts.

Compared to Zheng Zhibao who called Qu, these red-haired ghosts were not so calm.One by one knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to look up at Zheng Zhilong.

"Who are you leading?"

Zheng Zhilong once again showed his talent of being proficient in multiple languages. He asked these people questions in Portuguese, but seeing that they didn't respond, he asked them again in Spanish, and finally got the right number.

"We are Spaniards and my name is Sobrino."

"and then?"

"We are here on the orders of King Felipe IV of the great Habsburg dynasty, and we have important matters to discuss with Mr. Zheng!"

"You know me?" Zheng Zhilong asked strangely.

"Zongbing Zheng's name is spread far and wide overseas, and everyone knows it, and everyone knows it. I am naturally no exception."

"What did your king send you for?"

"Come to redeem the captives captured by Zongbing Zheng."

"Captive?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that many Spanish officers were captured when Luzon was captured.

But these people are enjoying farming now, and I don't know how many of them are still alive.

"Only you guys? As far as I know, didn't you just drive a boat? Can you finish pulling so many people?"

"We have a fleet, but, but because we don't understand Zheng Zongbing's attitude, we haven't come here for the time being, and we are currently docking at a port in Brunei."

"Why stop there? Brunei doesn't seem to be your territory, does it?"

"No, but we paid the rent."

"Oh! I understand. Your king sent a fleet to Luzon, hoping to use money to redeem your captured officers. However, your fleet dare not approach Luzon for fear of being attacked by us. .So I paid the rent and stopped at the port of Brunei, and then sent you people as the vanguard, let's talk about the tone first. Is this the case?"

"That's right! That's what happened."

"Who is the leader of this fleet?"

"It's Master Franco!"

"Franco? Him?"

Zheng Zhilong froze for a moment, then understood.No wonder I had to dare to come to Luzon. It turned out that the person who came was Franco.

"Since you are here to redeem the captives, why are you trying to trick Zheng Zhibao into rebellion?"

Hearing this, Sobrino's expression turned ugly.

Although he was not a noble figure, he was also born in a declining noble family, and not long ago he had inherited his father's baronship.It was a coincidence that he followed the fleet to the east to redeem people.But along the way, he successfully attracted Franco's attention, which made Franco trust him more, and the important task of sending people to Luzon to visit Zheng Zhilong fell on him.

It was only after Sobrino brought his people to Manila that he learned that Zheng Zhilong had gone to fight for Jiaozhi at the order of His Majesty the Emperor.If it's someone else, either go back first, or find a place to live and wait for Zheng Zhilong to come back.

But Sobrino was a restless person. He sent someone back to deliver a letter to Franco, and then he led the people to find a restaurant in Manila to live in.

During the days of staying in the hotel, he has not been idle, constantly inquiring about various news about Manila.

For example, what is the ruling policy of the Ming Dynasty, what is the living condition of the indigenous people, how many Han people have immigrated here, and other seemingly useless news.

Knowing that he got a piece of news that he thought would be useful.

Zheng Zhilong is not there, but his younger brother Zheng Zhibao controls the military power in Manila.

So he started to get close to Zheng Zhibao, and after learning that Zheng Zhibao liked beauty, he gave him a woman.

A fair-skinned Spanish woman.

At first Zheng Zhibao was unwilling to accept it, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that these Spaniards must have no good intentions.

But after Sobrino revealed his identity, Zheng Zhibao felt relieved.

Since they are here to redeem captives, there is no need to worry about their identities, and a dozen or so people can't find any flowers.Since he asked himself to take care of Cerezo and the others, it would be safer.

He who has never tried a Spanish woman took it for granted, there are too many people fawning on him, what's wrong with accepting a woman?

From then on, Sobrino began to get some new things for Zheng Zhibao from time to time. After going back and forth, Sobrino and Zheng Zhibao also became familiar.

Logically speaking, at this time, his goal has been achieved, or he can get close to Zheng Zhibao, let him talk nice things in front of Zheng Zhilong, and ask for a ransom of at least 80 taels, which is not a small contribution.

But Sobrino was not only restless, he was also very ambitious.

He is not satisfied with being a low-level Viscount all his life, he wants to make greater contributions.

For example, if the Zheng family were urged to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, they would then get in and take back Luzon.

These days, he understood the strength of the Zheng family.Zheng Zhilong served as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan and Luzon at the same time, with 10,000+ soldiers and nearly a thousand warships under his command.

This strength is simply a well-deserved overlord of the sea.

Since he has the strength to be king, doesn't he have the ambition to be king?

It doesn't matter whether Zheng Zhilong can become king, as long as he can provoke a dispute between them and Daming, and then take advantage of the chaos to take back Luzon.

God!If I can really make such a great contribution, why should I be named a Marquis?

Your own family will go to glory in your own hands!

As long as this thought came together, Sobrino felt his blood boil.

So he began to lead Zheng Zhibao to be dissatisfied with the Ming court while drinking, and the method was to brag about Zheng Zhilong, saying that Zheng Zhilong had made great contributions, and the court only granted him a small earl.It is the performance of fearing him and distrusting him.

Zheng Zhibao didn't think so at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was really the case?

My eldest brother must be a duke, and the brothers of our dukes must be a marquis, right?Otherwise, I will be sorry for the huge territory laid down by my elder brother.

So he swelled up, very big.

Then he said something disrespectful to Zhu Youjian on some occasions, and was detected by Jin Yiwei and reported to Zhu Youjian.

"Mr. Zheng! I don't have one. I just want General Zheng to treat Lord Cerezo kindly. By the way, let's see if we can lower the ransom. It didn't trick General Zheng into rebelling!" Although Sobri Nuo was already flustered in his heart, but his face was still full of innocence.

"Oh? Really?" Zheng Zhilong stood up from the chair with a smile, put his hands in his arms, and walked slowly in front of Sobrino. "Really do not have."

"Really not~"

"Oh~"

Zheng Zhilong took out a pistol from his arms, then opened the safety and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The red-haired ghost next to Sobrino was shot in the head and fell to the ground.
