Chapter 84 Luzon, the flag is flying high!
On the main building of the high governor's mansion, Marcelo, the governor of Luzon of Spain, is standing on the balcony, looking at the calm sea in the distance. The gorgeous silk nightgown wrapped around his figure that looks a little hooked at this moment. In his hand, he was carrying a strong drink that could only cover the bottom of the bottle. Because of insomnia and alcoholism His pale face, goldfish-like bags under his eyes, dull eyes, and messy hair made him look like an entrepreneur who was desperate to drink pesticides because of bankruptcy.
"Mr. Marcelo, have you taken a break first? It's been a whole night. You haven't closed your eyes yet. Next to her, a beautiful Spanish maid shook her full chest and walked to the governor of Luzon.
Marcelo's confused eyes were taken back from the sea and fell on the maid. Seeing her sensual figure, Marcelo's alcoholic brain suddenly became lustful.
"Sweetheart, why are you here?" She stretched out her big hand and suddenly pulled it and hugged the plump girl into her arms. The big bearded mouth arched on her chest, like a wild boar that had been hungry for a month, breaking into the farmer's vegetable garden.
The maid's face turned red, and she struggled hard and whispered, "Please don't do this, sir. Madam has got up. You can't do this. If you let your wife know..."
As soon as he heard the word "wife", even Marcelo, who was full of pornography in his mind, seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water on his head. There was a trace of fear and anger on his gray face: "Damn it, sweetheart, we haven't been together for a while. That day we..."
"Of course, but not now. After your wife gets up, let me come to see you. By the way, let me inform you that she is going out of town to hunt." The maid put her hand around Marcelo's neck and kissed him back, and her gray-green eyes showed the scratching into her bones. I'll come back when my wife leaves."
"You little silver woman!" Governor Lu Song pinched her upturned buttocks with hatred, and then let go of the maid. But I told my wife that I wish her a good time. In addition, let Wei Ren and my wife follow me. These days, those damn Chinese people don't know what's wrong. Something is wrong. I don't want her to have any accidents.
Marcelo's blood-filled eyes watched the beautiful maid twist her buttocks and leave the balcony. Then she reluctantly withdrew her eyes and drank all the spirits in the bottle.
When his eyes fell outside the balcony, near the pier on the coastline, Spanish soldiers were waving whips and scabbards in their hands, urging the Luzon's natives and Chinese to build new coastal defense positions. Seeing this scene, the shadows that had been lingering in their hearts for the past few days floated in an instant. Come on up.
"Damn Alfonso, you son of a bitch, I curse you to go to hell!" Governor Marcelo sat down on the soft lounge chair placed on the balcony. Governor Luzon had some troubles in the past two days. A lot of troubles were caused by the temptation of Alfonso, the commander of the Spanish fleet of Luzon, who offered himself a reward for the damn pirates of the Qing Dynasty, but who would have thought that he was counting. Previously, the only remaining armed gunboats of the Spanish fleet hijacked a pirate's fast ship on the sea. I heard the amazing news that the Spanish and pirates' joint fleet was actually blown up by the other side when attacking the Qing pirate's nest and blocked the warship. Then, these ships wandering outside the island, and After suffering from the fierce blow of the other party's reinforcements, he had to flee south desperately.
After hearing the news reported by this officer, Marcelo, the governor of Luzon, the confidence of looking forward to being appreciated and valued by the king, hit the soles of his feet from his throat.
The news in the north was completely cut off. The demoralized Alfonso could only make the remaining armed gunboats strengthen their vigilance every day. In order to strengthen the defense, just in case, he even sent more than half of the governor's guard to catch people everywhere to build fortifications near the dock.
Although he did not believe that with more than 10,000 people, more than 20 warships and so many fast ship gunboats, such a powerful fleet would be destroyed, his worries in his heart were like a nightmare.
You know, there are not many Spanish troops stationed in Luzon, and this time, in order to cooperate with the attack plan of Colonel Alfonso, whose uncle was the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, he even gritted his teeth and transferred half of the troops from the Spanish Luzon garrison, that is, a whole 400 excellent infantry.
Now, Marcelo is a little desperate to find that time is passing, and those excellent Spanish soldiers and fleets are still missing. Even after that day, Marcelo ordered to expand the scope of the patrol, and no pirate ships and warships fleeing south.
--------------------
At this time, the servant came to report that Diego, the commander of Luzon's garrison, asked to see him outside the door. Marcelo just raised his head from the messy thoughts.
"How's it going, dear Major Diego? How's the construction of the fortifications on the dock going?" Marcelo, who had changed into an aristocratic dress, tidied up the lace of the cuffs and asked Major Diego. Although his tone restored the aristocratic elegance, his tired face was still full of anxiety.
"Mr. Governor, my soldiers are working hard to supervise the construction. In addition, the work of training those kings and civilians is also continuing, but we lack building materials, long-range heavy artillery, ammunition, and even a musket in the hands of those civilians." Major Diego's face was full of bleak clouds of sorrow, and he never thought that such a bad thing would one day bump into him.
Hearing Major Diego's complaint, Marcelo rubbed his tight forehead: "If the heavy cannon is not enough, put the infantry cannon into the bunker. I will try my best to find out the ammunition and firearms, but there is one thing you have to be careful of. Be careful of the indigenous people and Chinese. Don't let them know anything. Those unopened people know how to bully the most. Good is afraid of evil.
"Yes, Mr. Governor, please rest assured that although there are only half of the soldiers left, with the participation of those kingdom civilians, my army can still maintain the number of the whole battalion. As long as we have advanced weapons and artillery in our hands, those indigenous and Chinese are just a flock of sheep." Major Diego stood up and expressed the courage of an excellent Spanish soldier to Marcelo.
"Very good, I'm much more relieved with your promise. The damn Colonel Alfonso automatically used the Luzon fleet to encircle and suppress pirates in the waters of the Qing Dynasty, which made our current defense force so weak." Marcelo slapped the mahogany armrest of the sofa with an expression of hatred. It seems that these things have nothing to do with him.
Major Diego responded without squinting: "Yes, Mr. Governor, it is because of Colonel Alfonso's recklessness that caused today's situation. However, if you can guard the colony of the kingdom, I believe His Majesty will be very gratified."
Hearing Major Diego's words, Marcelo couldn't help stretching his eyebrows. However, he still asked with a skrim, "Dear Diego, do you think those Qing pirates have any strength to attack us after defeating such a huge fleet?"
"I don't think it's possible! Mr. Governor, you should know that such a huge fleet, even those small countries in the West can't have such a strong maritime force, let alone in the East, unless the Qing Dynasty sent their fleet, but in my opinion, at most, it is just a defeat. Those pirates are veterans of naval warfare, and we Spain's warships are even more invincible. Major Diego looked resolute.
His explanation was like injecting Marcelo with a booster, which restored a trace of blood on Governor Marcelo's face. Marcelo touched the wig on his head and smiled: "You're right. It seems that I'm too careful."
Major Diego's words made Governor Marcello recall the glory of the Spanish Empire. At the beginning, our Spain destroyed a huge empire with millions of people on the New World just by relying on an expedition. The glory and courage of our Spanish ancestors are still flowing in our blood. There are hundreds of thousands of Luzon's indigenous people and Chinese, and they are still in our I bowed under my feet..."
"Hajor, Governor, I found a warship coming to our port." A soldier rushed in. Hearing this, the two people who were recalling the glory of the Spanish Empire in the past couldn't help but change their colors.
"Sound the alarm immediately and let the soldiers fire for me. Don't let them get close to the port." Governor Marcelo jumped up and screamed, sounding as bleak as a protester who was hit by a baton.
"Mr. Governor, calm down, calm down! Now we don't know which fleet, guard, bring my telescope. In addition, tell all the soldiers on the dock to put them on alert. No one can open fire without my order. In addition, they began to concentrate on civilians for training. Major Diego saw Governor Marcelo's performance, and his eyes flashed with deep contempt. Major Diego straightened his back and ordered loudly at the door. The soldier's backbone and the calmness of the commander showed vividly on him.
Governor Marcelo came to his senses and pulled the corners of his mouth nervously: "It seems that my nerves are too nervous. Major Diego, you are right. You should have a look. Maybe our Spanish fleet has returned."
Major Diego picked up the monoculars handed over by the guards nervously and observed the sea. Soon, he found his eyes. On the blue sea in the distance, towering masts were slowly emerging from the surface of the water. The unique shape and flags of the Spanish warship were flying high on the sea...--- -----------------
