But for the Spanish Li Yuanqing, which is almost out of breath, it has enough confidence!
At this time, the pattern foundation of Southeast Asia has stabilized Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal.
However, the most powerful British empire has not finished gathering its eyes here at this time, and they are still paying off Brother A’s resistance in India.
There will be a real period of more than ten years, even more than twenty years, when they will focus on Southeast Asia.
And this period is enough for Li Yuanqing and his fleet to grow!
If we really can’t talk today, we can’t blame him. Li Yuanqing is ruthless!
Listening to the shouting behind him getting more and more mixed and worse, Valentagama’s face was gloomy for a moment. He stared straight at Li Yuanqing’s eyes as cold as an eagle and said, "General Li, if you and China can’t give me a satisfactory explanation today! I will expel you from staying in Manila port! "
Li Yuanqing’s fleet size is not comparable to those of the small indigenous people.
Plus, at this time, the fortifications of Changsheng Camp on the wharf side have been piled up. Even if Valentagama is not happy, he dare not go too far, but a soft way is his lowest bottom line!
Li Yuanqing couldn’t help laughing: "I’m really sorry for your decision, noble Governor! If my fleet and I can’t stay in Manila for trade, I’m afraid it’s not only our loss but also Manila’s loss! "
"Hum!"
Valentagama snorted coldly. "General Li, I very much doubt your sincerity! You are sincere in this matter! "
Li Yuanqing smile.
Things have come to this, and it is best if we don’t solve them by force.
After all, the fleet has just entered the Nanyang trade route, and the goods have not been fully spread out and changed into silver. At this time, if the Spanish in Manila are directly destroyed, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among western powers and cast a shadow over Li Yuanqing’s subsequent journey.
"Governor, what do you want us to do according to your wishes?"
At this time, sailors and sailors have rushed to Valentagama for more than a dozen steps, and some people shouted in Chinese: "How to do it? Hand over those women! Compensation for all our economic losses! And you, the humble yellow-haired monkey, must kowtow and apologize to us! "
The translator handed the words to Valentagama’s ear, and Valentagama smiled faintly: "General Li, this is our request! If you don’t do it, please leave Manila now! "
Li Yuanqing couldn’t help laughing: "I’m very, very disappointed with your handling of the Governor’s Pavilion! These soldiers and sailors are simply a group of the most humble ruffians and rascals! Do you want them to talk about the final criteria of this matter? "
Valentagama snorted and stopped looking at Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing’s eyes narrowed slightly and he was about to open his mouth when a QinBing behind him was rushing to whisper a few words in Li Yuanqing’s ear.
Li Yuanqing’s face did not change, but he returned to normal for a moment. He smiled and said, "That’s the case with the distinguished Governor’s Pavilion. Then it’s convenient for me to take a step back. We are willing to offer you 120 pieces of silver as compensation for this matter, and if conditions are right, we will purchase 20 large sail warships from you!"
"Huh?"
Valentagama couldn’t help but hear the first half of Li Yuanqing’s sentence. He couldn’t wait to give Li Yuanqing an old punch of one hundred and twenty silver. Is this to send flowers?
But after Li Yuanqing sentence is to let his spirit a flap.
At this time, white soldiers and sailors cursed behind them: "lowly yellow-haired monkeys, even if our Spanish imperial warships sink to the bottom of the sea, we will never sell them to you lowly bastards!" I am dying of this heart! "
"You yellow monkeys are really cruel! Do you want to buy our warships without apologizing? "
“”
"That’s enough!"
At this time, Valentagama shouted.
After all, he is the governor and the highest official of Spain in Manila, and he has been operating here for many years. His power is still no problem.
The sailors and soldiers behind him were so shocked that they dared not say anything more.
Valentagama’s face smiled faintly at Li Yuanqing and said, "Can you be sincere about General Li’s purchase of warships?"
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Of course, I have always been full of confidence in the navigation technology of the Spanish Empire!"
Valentagama is not happy!
He happens to have more than twenty old Spanish sailing boats that are about to be retired.
But no one in Manila, including the surrounding areas, can have such a big appetite to eat so many warships
This matter has been bothering him for half a year. At this time, Li Yuanqing sent him a big’ pillow’.
As it happens, the official Spanish fleet is coming. If this is done, maybe he can directly upgrade to a higher level!
"Lee, thank you for making such a big concession in this matter. On behalf of the Spanish Empire and Manila, I accept your sincerity! But in compensation, you need to pay 1200 silver! "
Li Yuanqing smiled: "I can accept this, but I need 300 boxes of Cuban cigars in the Governor’s Pavilion!"
Valentagama also understood Li Yuanqing’s meaning and couldn’t help laughing: "Deal!"
Then he looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and said, "General Li will hold a dinner party at the Governor’s House tonight. We can formally talk about warships!"
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Thank you for your kindness. I accepted your invitation and the fortifications here will be removed immediately!"
Valentagama’s quick departure from Li Yuanqing also made the idlers clean up the fortifications here.
At this time, the boat Yang quickly ran over and whispered, "The general is a Spanish fleet with nearly 30 ships. They should be able to enter the port in less than a quarter of an hour, and the news should be received from the Governor’s Office soon."
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly. "Strengthen vigilance and wait for orders at any time!"
"Yes!"
After more than half an hour, the fortifications on this side of the dock have been demolished and the Spanish fleet has entered the port.
Huge sails, huge warships, black muzzle, one after another, which really brings great pressure to people.
Li Yuanqing has been watching from a small observation deck on this side of the dock.
