Chapter 719 Xuanwei warns, smokers are the cause of trouble

Knowing that there was a huge Ming fleet outside, Diego gave up the idea of ​​snatching the ironclad ship in front of him.

They did not have many warships on the Greater Luzon Islands, and they were not fully prepared to deal with the Ming army's attack this time.

It would be foolish to lead the Ming army to attack Manila or even capture Manila just to seize an ironclad ship.

The most important thing is that if Manila falls, the armored ship they grabbed will not be able to take it out, which will give the Ming Dynasty a reason to attack Luzon.

"Then welcome the Ming Dynasty envoy well. It would also be good if we can build a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty."

After saying this, Diego led his team of attendants to greet him.

After a polite exchange, the Ming envoy team was brought to the Governor's Mansion. The rest of the envoy was arranged elsewhere, and only the chief and deputy envoys and the accompanying military attachés were brought to the living room to receive them.

With the help of translators from both sides, after a few polite words, Diego asked: "I wonder what the reason for your envoy coming to Manila is?"

Kuang Lu said with a cold face: "You and other Westerners have massacred our Ming people living in Luzon several times before, but our Ming Dynasty has not yet investigated them.

Our Ming Dynasty has millions of elite soldiers, thousands of battleships, and hundreds of thousands of boats! If we want to take Luzon, it is as easy as attacking with a regular army to retrieve the items. Why do we need the help of the people?!

Let me just say this - if Spain continues to abuse and kill our people, we, the Ming Dynasty, will not leave a single Spanish alive after we conquer Luzon.

This made Diego hate him even more. He snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.

He originally arranged for Lin Tianyou to study in a private school in the Eighth Alliance Middle School, but Lin Tianyou himself refused to study or talk, and often disrupted the class.

In this case, why not kill these Ming envoys now and seize the armored ship!"

···

The Ming Dynasty's envoys came and went in a hurry, allowing Manila to return to its previous "calm" the next day.

Oscar found that he was indeed short-sighted, but he was unwilling to admit it. He said harshly: "It does not mean that we can win the naval battle if we have good ships. Besides, we still have so many forts and fortresses in Manila that the Ming army may not be able to attack them."

Come to the island."

After killing the Ming envoys and seizing the armored ships, and the Ming army attacks, are you sure you can hold it? If you can't hold it, what's the use of doing all this?!"

‘There is indeed such a thing.’ Diego thought to himself.

The Spanish also continued their colonial activities, oppressing the Ming people in Manila a little less, but monitoring them more closely.

But there was an angry look on his face after being wronged, and he said loudly: "Why do we want to massacre the people living in your country? Even in the first two times, it was the Ming people on the island who started the rebellion, so we were not allowed to send troops to suppress it.

.

Lin Licheng's wife was frail, and his son Lin Tianyou was only thirteen years old at the time, so Lin Lide took care of her.

It's a notification, an announcement, not a negotiation with Spain, so you can leave after saying this.

The sergeant officer knew that the person they were most wary of now was Mingren, so even if the information Lin Tianyou gave him was unclear, he decided to take him to see the governor - the sergeant also wanted to take this opportunity to make great contributions and improve his position.

.

His mission as envoy to Luzon this time was very simple, which was to warn the Spanish colonists not to massacre the Ming people living in Luzon, and at the same time to declare force and deter them.

Lin Lide was not at home, and his eldest son Lin Tianchi took charge at home.

"What then?" Oscar didn't react for a moment.

Recently, there are rumors that you and others want to massacre the Ming people on the island to prevent them from assisting in attacking the island. Is this true or false?"

There is a side house in the Lin family in Balian, and the male owner is Lin Lide's cousin Lin Licheng.

Seeing Kuang Lu and others walking out, he moved closer to Diego and whispered in Spanish: "Your Excellency, the Governor, the people of the Ming Dynasty are too arrogant, and I am afraid they will inevitably become our enemies in Nanyang in the future.

But the Spanish soldiers still took his words seriously and took him into the fort, where they met the sergeant of the fort.

In the future, when the army reaches the West, it will also attack your homeland and make you pay with blood!"

In addition, our navy reports that the messenger sent here this time is a large fleet. Does your Ming Dynasty really want to attack our Luzon Island?"

Five years ago, Lin Licheng went to sea to traffic goods and encountered a storm. The ship was destroyed and everyone died.

The Spanish soldiers had no patience to listen to him. When one of them came, he kicked Lin Tianyou down and threatened: "If you don't get away, I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Tianyou, a heavy smoker, is now somewhat famous in the Eighth Alliance.

At this time, he showed a flattering smile, cupped his hands and said: "Two eldest brothers, I have something important to see your commander..."

The spy monitoring the fortress saw Lin Tianyou going to talk to the Spanish soldiers and being taken in, and felt that something was about to happen.

Lin Tianyou cannot enter the city of Manila at all.

After Kuang Lu finished speaking, after the interpreter finished translating, she waved her sleeves and led the deputy envoy and military attaché away directly.

It was the first time that Lin Tianyou was reprimanded, humiliated, and very angry by his peers. Coupled with his addiction to cigarettes, he unexpectedly thought of going to the Spaniards to report the "abnormalities" in the Eight Alliance Settlement in exchange for money and even wealth.

For more than a month after that, it was as if the two previous rumors had never appeared. The Ming expatriates in Manila were working as they should and doing business as they were supposed to do.

The information that Lin Tianyou knew was actually from more than two months ago. The so-called weapons also referred to cold weapons, which were outdated information. As for the current specific information, he did not know at all.

However, neither Lin Tianyou nor the Spanish sergeant knew that their fortress had long been monitored by Ming people.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the translation, Kuang Lu did not accept the call at all. Instead, she stood up directly, cupped her hands to the north, and said: "I came here on the emperor's order to warn you not to listen to the rumors of traitors.

Then kill our people living abroad in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Tianyou was angry, hateful and helpless. After getting up, he had no choice but to reveal the news first, saying: "There are spies from the Ming Dynasty in the Eighth Alliance, and there are also people who are hoarding weapons!"

However, on July 13th, this superficial calm was broken by a person.

Moreover, in the process of suppressing the rebellion, we mainly focused on persuading surrender and taking prisoners. It was those Pampanga people and the Japanese who had enmity against you, so they took the opportunity to massacre them.

As for the recent rumors on the island - someone is obviously saying that your country wants to capture Luzon, so how come we want to massacre the Ming people on the island?

Diego was also unhappy with Kuang Lu's threats, but after hearing Oscar's words, he became even more angry and frowned: "Then what?"

He was anxious to get money so that he could take Fushou Ointment, so he ran directly to the largest fortress near Eight Alliances.

Lin Lide tried all kinds of methods but could not get him to quit. He could only help him get a wife and let him carry on the family line for his cousin, and then stopped taking care of him.

In the living room, the military commander Oscar was very angry after hearing what the translator said.

When the two Spanish soldiers on duty outside saw it, they yelled, "Get away, you big smoker, this is not the place for you!"

Lin Tianchi couldn't stand Lin Tianyou very much. Instead of borrowing money this time, he listed all the misdeeds of Lin Tianyou in the past, cursed him and kicked him out.

On this day, he was addicted to smoking again, so he thought of Lin Lide's family and wanted to borrow some money.

As a last resort, Lin Lide sent him to a shop of the Lin family as an apprentice. In the first two years, Lin Tianyou didn't cause any trouble, but in the past two years, he actually took Fushou Ointment.

Diego is worthy of being the great governor of Spain in the Southeast Asia region. What he said was not only reasonable and well-founded, but in the end he also questioned the purpose of the Ming Dynasty fleet's appearance off the coast of Luzon as a test.

"What will you do after you seize that armored ship?" Diego asked politely, "Now we have less than ten warships in Manila Bay, but there are more than ten Ming army armored ships outside, and the other warships are even more unknown.

How many.

When he said this, there was still a slight smell of alcohol coming out of Oscar's mouth.

After getting married, Lin Tianyou restrained himself a little, but it was still difficult to quit taking Fushou pills.

As a young man who grew up in Manila, although Lin Tianyou is uneducated, he can understand a lot of Spanish and can speak a few words.

Goodbye Lin Tianyou came out and was taken to Manila by the sergeant officer. He realized that something big was going to happen, so he immediately went to report it to the people above.

The spies who stared at the fortresses and forts around the Eight Alliance were all non-staff members of the Jinyiwei who had developed in the Ming people's settlement area in the Eight Alliance.

Therefore, when the news was quickly reported level by level, it quickly reached Hu Youcheng.

Second update.

Good night~
