Chapter 168 I know your cards

So Blanco did not continue to pester the ship's problem, and then said, "In this case, the lord refused to return our ship, and this matter will be fine. I hope that the lord can return the sailors and soldiers who captured us to Manila. Here, on behalf of our Governor, I sincerely Thank you to the leader!"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiaotian smiled and said, "How can this matter be so simple? You should know that in the conflict in Chickenlong wan this time, you have also caused us huge losses. As a defeated party, how can I return the prisoners to you?

If you want me to return the captured members, it is impossible, but you must compensate us for this loss, because this war was not launched by us, and the responsibility for the war is entirely on your side!

Otherwise, we can't end this hostile relationship!"

Blanco also expected that Yu Xiaotian was going to blackmail them, so he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, although we will be responsible for the misunderstanding this time, your ministry has caused us great losses. You know, we Spaniards are not so weak. !

We are just unwilling to continue to expand the situation, but if you don't have any sincerity to negotiate, aren't you afraid that we will mobilized more ships to fight against you?

I heard that the relationship between your department and the Ming Dynasty official is also very tense now. Recently, there are signs that the Ming Dynasty official is preparing to fight against you in the near future, and the leader is not worried about this?

Blanco's words vaguely revealed that if Yu Xiaotian did not agree to his terms, then the Spaniards were willing to take the opportunity to intervene at this time and send troops to help the Ming government to deal with sea wolves.

Yu Xiaotian's heart jumped slightly. Unexpectedly, these Spaniards had done a lot of homework in advance and wanted to talk to him about it.

So he immediately laughed and stood up and paced back and forth in the room, laughing as he walked.

Listening to Yu Xiaotian's laughter, Blanco had a creepy feeling. He felt that whether Yu Xiaotian was crazy or not, would he be ashamed and angry next, so that people would pull him out and chop him to feed the fish, so there was a cold sweat behind his back, and he couldn't sit still.

After Yu Xiaotian laughed for a while, he slowly stopped laughing, turned around and stared into Blanco's eyes, as if to see through his heart, making Blanco shudder a little.

"In this case, why did Schwar still send you to negotiate with me? I want to ask Mr. Blanco, do you have this strength again? How many boats and soldiers can you send now? Don't you want your Luzon? If so, not to mention whether you can take advantage of it, I guess the Dutch will be happy to see you do this! I don't know if I'm right! Humph!" Yu Xiaotian said to Blanco.

Blanco panicked in his heart. This pirate leader surnamed Yu was really powerful enough to see that they were strong outside. He must have found their weakness a long time ago, so he was so sure.

But he decided to keep his mouth shut: "I'm afraid this leader is too underestimated our Spain!" There are so many warships on the sea. You just destroyed a few ships that are not big in our area. Do you think we don't have any warships anymore?

Yu Xiaotian nodded: "That's right! I admit that you Spaniards still have many warships, but I'm afraid that the ships you mentioned are either in your hometown in Europe and dare not come out, or in your other colonies. Can the Governor of Schwar still transfer these warships to Asia to deal with me? In that case, I would be so honored!

If this is the case, then we can end this conversation and ask Mr. Blanco to go back and tell His Excellency Governor Schwar to start summoning your ships now. Yu Xiaotian is willing to accompany you to the end!

I'd like to see where the warships you mentioned are and when they will come! I'm afraid that before your warship is transferred, your governor will be replaced first!

But I can assure you that even if the government sends troops to deal with me, I have a full chance of winning. I don't care if you take advantage of the fire and take the opportunity to retaliate against me, but I can guarantee that when this matter is over, there will never be a Chinese merchant ship that can reach your Manila and then with you. Trade! I can also assure you of this!

Haha! ..." Yu Xiaotian laughed loudly again.

The sweat on Blanco's forehead suddenly flowed down, and he scolded the damn pirate leader in his heart. Why was he so powerful that he saw their cards so thoroughly? He sat here with a feeling of being stripped of his clothes.

When he found that Yu Xiaotian was completely not threatened by him, Blanco played another card.

"Okay! I admit that for the time being, we are indeed unable to retaliate against your department, and we are not willing to be involved in the official conflict between your ministry and your Ming Dynasty, because we only want trade and do not want to continue to conflict with you.

But one more thing, please don't forget that if you don't trade with us, will you only trade with the Dutch in the future?

You should know that those rude Dutch are even more untrustworthy. They are all liars, robbers and hooligans who never know what reputation is!

This time, in the conflict with the authorities, I have heard rumors that the Dutch are willing to help the Ming officials deal with your ministry.

If this is the case, will your department stop doing sea trade in the future? If you can reach a settlement with us this time, we are willing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with your department in the future, buy the goods sold by your department at a higher price, and sell the goods to your department at a more favorable price, which is good for both of us!

If your department needs it, we can also provide you with some better weapons and gunpowder to help you deal with the Dutch.

This is a good card played by Blanco, which can be said to have hit the key point of Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Blanco is indeed a smart man and actually thought of this, but I would like to ask Mr. Blanco, how much do you know about the Dutch castle?"

Blanco didn't understand the reason for Yu Xiaotian's question. He frowned and said, "Of course we know something about the Dutch man's castle, but I don't know what the purpose of the leader asked this question?"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "If you know the big man, then it will be much easier. So I want to ask, with my current strength, in your opinion, can the little man block my attack? So please ask Mr. Blanco to guess why I haven't touched the staff?

Blanco's mind suddenly turned around and began to think about the question raised by Yu Xiaotian. After a while, Blanco suddenly realized something, his face changed, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Is your Excellency deliberately waiting for the Dutch to come?"

Yu Xiaotian smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "I don't mind if the Dutch get involved in this conflict between me and the government.

I also know more or less about the strength of the Dutch. Although they are very strong in their East India company, in fact, the number of ships they can mobilize is not large, otherwise they will not only put such a few broken ships!

Since they want to come, I would be happy to let them come. Only after they see my strength will they understand who to choose to be friends!

I can clearly tell you that I am fully confident about this conflict with the authorities and that I can defeat them, and I am not afraid of the Dutch giving official help, let alone your help, but after this incident, I believe that the pattern of China's maritime affairs will change.

You can continue to choose to be my enemies, but you can also choose to cooperate with me. It only depends on your ideas, and you will definitely have your own judgment on where to go.

If there are no Dutch and you, you don't want to leave you, and we can't sell Chinese goods to your Europe.

As far as I know, in addition to you and the seven provinces (the Dutch), there is also an Englishman who wanted to do such a trade with us a long time ago.

Even if you and the people of the seven provinces do not do such trade with us, I am happy to give the British a foothold and establish a business hall on the island of Taiwan. Presumably the British will be happy to trade directly with us.

Although the British are not very strong in the Far East now, when they find this business opportunity, I think the British should be able to make adjustments quickly. They must be willing to increase the number of warships in the Far East to protect their interests!"

Blanco has a desire to jump on and die by filial piety. This damn pirate leader actually knows so much about Europe, which is completely unexpected by them. At the same time, this damn guy also knows so much about the power situation of all parties in the Far East, which is not what they expected before. .

When he wanted to threaten this damn pirate leader with the Dutch, he also thought of their Spanish sworn enemy. If it weren't for these damn British, their Spanish invincible fleet could now run rampant*. How could they be pressed step by those damn Dutch now? Question mark
