Chapter 88 Conditions!
Ten minutes later, Governor Marcelo stood at the door of the governor's palace, constantly rubbing the cane in his hand, and looked stiffly at the eleven negotiators sent by the pirates of the Qing Dynasty in the costumes of Spanish naval officers who were walking towards the governor's palace.
"Governor, we're back." The leader took off his military cap and greeted the petrified Governor Marcelo. His haggard face was full of bitter smiles.
"Colotion Juan, are you the negotiator of those Qing pirates?" Governor Marcelo's face turned purple like a patient with severe constipation, and his blistered eyes widened to the extreme, gritting his teeth word by word.
Although he had just heard the report of the guards, when the facts were in front of him, he still felt extremely unbelievable. The negotiators sent by the other party were the Spanish naval officers who went to the north with Colonel Alfonso to recruit the Qing pirates.
The person standing in front of him with a wry smile is Lieutenant Colonel Juan, the highest rank after Colonel Alfonso. Behind him stood eleven officers who also belonged to the Spanish navy, but Colonel Alfonso, the former supreme commander, did not appear in this queue.
"Mr. Governor, I'm very sorry. We failed, and the whole army was destroyed. All the soldiers and officers of our Spanish Luzon fleet have become shameful prisoners of war. Not only us, but also more than 5,000 pirates have become the prisoners of war of Mr. Liang." Sitting in the hall of the governor's mansion, Lieutenant Colonel Juan took a sip of black tea brought by the servant, and the bitter smile on his face seemed to be his sign, which had never disappeared.
"How is this possible? Is the other party powerful enough to be a pirate than a national fleet?" Major Diego's eyes widened in disbelief.
Major Oscar shook his head, and his expression was also bitter like a young lady forced to sit on the stage. There are only 2,000 people on the other side.
Major Diego and Governor Marcelo couldn't help but take a breath. Governor Marcelo clenched his fists and his voice became more and more stern: "Are they all mythical warriors and legends? Or is everyone a giant who can carry a cannon and fire at you? You are a huge fleet of 10,000 people, and now, what I see is that your warship is intact in the hands of the damn pirate, and you also have no smoke and scars that have ever fought.
Governor Marcelo's vicious eyes swept over these naval officers who were as proud as roosters, and his roar echoed in the hall: "Don't tell me that you are afraid to surrender as soon as you see each other."
"Absolutely not, Governor, we were fooled by those damn pirates, and they suddenly attacked us..." Lieutenant Colonel Juan rubbed his forehead and recalled the nightmarish process of that day.
The story of Lieutenant Colonel Juan made Governor Marcelo and others fall into a desperate silence. When he heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess was in the hands of the Qing pirate, the Governor Marcelo's expression was completely numb. He really couldn't figure out that the respected Princess would fall into the Qing pirates. In the hand.
For Colonel Alfonso's encounter after he was captured, not only did not show a sad expression on Governor Marcelo's face, but he gritted his teeth to relieve his hatred. Governor Marcelo couldn't wait for him to die immediately.
"As proof, Her Royal Highness wrote a letter and asked me to forward it to you, Your Excellency the Governor." Colonel Juan took out a letter from his arms.
After reading the text message, Governor Marcelo sat on the chair. Her Royal Highness doesn't seem to know that she has become a hostage, which may also be a good thing. However, I will pass the matter of Her Royal Highness in the hands of the Qing Dynasty pirates back to China as soon as possible and report it to His Majesty.
Lieutenant Colonel Juan pulled the corners of his mouth. Unless the kingdom can send a huge fleet, I'm afraid it will be possible to defeat Liang Pengfei. However, if the fleet is sent to the east, Spain's maritime military power in Europe must be greatly weakened. I'm afraid that Governor Marcelo himself understands this problem, so He pushed the problem back to China without any intention at all.
"Well, now we can talk about the terms. Mr. Liang only have a few. First, he asked all the Spaniards on the island to lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally. Second, he asked us to compensate for the huge losses they suffered because of the war. The number is one million taels of silver, or 100,000 Spanish gold coins. Third..." Lieutenant Colonel Juan took out a piece of paper from his arms and said.
"Impossible. This is our Spanish colony. How can we surrender to a group of vulgar and cruel pirates? He actually wants me to pay 100,000 gold coins. Is he crazy? I can't do these two. Governor Marcelo shouted angrily.
"... If they refuse to surrender, first, they will no longer guarantee the safety of the Spaniards on Luzon Island. Second, they will shoot all suspicious weapons holders. Third, they will search for enough compensation on Luzon Island. Fourth, the amount of compensation will be tenfold. If there is not enough on the island. Enough compensation, then all the Spaniards will become his slaves and work for him until all the compensation is repaid..." Lieutenant Colonel Juan continued to read without panic.
Governor Marcelo opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time. He didn't know whether to laugh at the hateful Qing pirate for being too arrogant, or whether he felt that the other party did have the ability to do all this.
Major Diego licked his dry mouth and felt that his mouth was full of bitterness. Now Marani is like a seductive and hot goddess of surname. She has been smashed the door by the thugs, carried into the bedroom, and tore up her clothes. The other party seems to want the goddess of surname to make a choice, or be Forced, or just enjoy it.
Lieutenant Colonel Juan put the word-filled persuasion book on the table, shook his head and sighed, "Don't forget, Governor Marcelo. They are pirates, not the army of a certain country. Even if they kill us all, our kingdom can't even find a target for protest."
"What should I do? Do I really surrender to those pirates? Governor Marcelo's face was gray. This sentence seemed to be asking the people present, and he was always asking himself. The dead silence makes the atmosphere in the hall look so gloomy...--------------------
On the dock, more than 20 warships have been anchored. Liang Pengfei has set foot on the land of Luzon. By his side, countless Liang and Shi pirates are landing one after another, constantly dragging all kinds of equipment to the shore and building a temporary defensive position.
Liang Pengfei raised his head and looked at the majestic fleet behind him. Fortunately, he united Shi Xianggu. Otherwise, with the 3,000 people of the Liang family alone, he really couldn't drive all these warships to show off their martial arts.
"When I become an official, I will be able to justly recruit people from the people." Liang Pengfei thought a little resentfully.
"Young master, wait, it's been a quarter of an hour." Bai Shusheng walked restlessly behind Liang Pengfei, looking around warily. Monk Chen also did not leave Liang Pengfei. This place must be the territory of the enemy, and the young master must not suffer any damage here.
Liang Pengfei smiled, and his face was full of self-confidence and the pride of the winner. What are you panicking? Anyway, these Spaniards are desperate. Unless they are willing to run barefoot into the primitive forest to be savages, they can only surrender all the way.
Seeing the fortifications of the pier that had turned into ruins, and the north wall of Manila, which was close at hand and had completely collapsed, Liang Pengfei's heart was so happy. The later Western powers were not their own dishes now, and they were stepping on this land as a conqueror.
"There is also a hairy Fei X Bin. Here, no one wants to think about it anymore." Master Liang's greedy and vicious eyes looked down on this rich land like an eagle falcon.
"Liang Shao, if there is nothing to do, I want to go there first. I have a relative near here." Shi Xianggu came over and said to Liang Pengfei. Her hand is pointing to the periphery of the city wall of Manila, where there are large scattered houses and huts.
Seeing Liang Pengfei's hesitation, Shi Xianggu's face showed a faint gentle explanation and said, "Our Shi family has relatives living here, but they still make a living from fishing. Last time it was their letter."
Liang Pengfei looked into the distance. After the mission composed of naval officers landed, there was no trace of Spanish soldiers and armed men around the dock except for the bodies. The houses and huts near the dock were also closed, and only a pair of eyes full of fear and worry hid behind the window. Dodge. Dodge. It seems that they also understand that resistance is meaningless.
"Then you go, but be careful and take your guard with you." Liang Pengfei still told Shi Xianggu uneasantly. Shi Xianggu nodded meekly, and then left Liang Pengfei's side to gather the guards.
"Young master, Aunt Shi Xiang is getting gentler and gentler to you. It turns out that when we stand next to her, we all feel gloomy and cold all over." Bai Shusheng came forward with an obscene face, like a henchman who gave advice to the bully.
"I said, what is the gloomy wind? Is Miss Shi a female ghost? Liang Pengfei kicked Bai Shusheng with a smile and scold, and the monk Chen next to him also grinned gloatingly. Silly bird, how can a person like Miss Shi be a female ghost, and how can a female ghost be worthy of our young master?
"You boy, the biggest shortcoming is that you are too thick and like to tell the truth." Liang Pengfei smiled extremely cheerfully and gave Monk Chen, who was standing behind, an elbow, but most of the praises were given. The pirates behind them rolled their eyes and were speechless.
