Chapter 387 Something big is about to happen
Guo Zhiyuan smiled when he saw Chen Zizhen's tone soften. People like Chen Zizhen are actually the best to control. They are greedy for money and fear trouble. As long as he is pulled into the water, he not only dares not be bad for him, but also has to find a way to cover up his body. Of course, he can't force him to force him to be cruel. He has to give him a sweet date when he beats him. He haha, "How can a low-ranking official harm an adult? It's a harm to an old man. Dongfan Bank is open on the ground of an adult, and he has to rely more on the care of an adult. I reserved 10% of the bank's shares for an adult. The adult only needs to turn a blind eye and wait for the money to collect..."
Chen Zizhen had been pulled into the water by Guo Zhiyuan, and could still go all the way. After hearing Guo Zhiyuan say that he was given 10% of his fucking stocks, greed immediately defeated his fear of the court, and made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this time is only for the next time, and I won't be the case!"
Guo Zhiyuan was secretly funny and thought to himself that he couldn't help but agree, but he said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Chen Zizhen has settled the matter, but the Spanish are not that easy to talk to. The Spanish Governor Acunya in Manila heard that Guo Zhiyuan asked for future trade to be traded with newly issued silver coins from Dongfan, and the branch of Dongfan Bank had already opened to the rebuilt Chinese residential area in Manila. He was so angry that he slapped the table and said furiously: "These physiological people are really too much, they are getting more and more fussy! This is a provocation to the great Spanish Empire. Do they think we really dare not go to war with them?!..."
The captain of the guard Thomas was already worried about Guo Zhiyuan's mission to Luzon and asked the Spanish to apologize for the murder of innocent businessmen in Luzon. Hearing this, he jumped up and shouted: "We had too weak foreign policy for physiological people before, which made these ignorant physiological people more difficult. Please give orders from the Governor General, and I will immediately lead the Royal City Guard to kill all the physiological people in Manila!..."
The Grand Justice Moga has always looked down on Thomas, who was simple-minded, and immediately mocked: "It is easy to kill all the physiological people in Manila, but what about after killing them? It is nothing more than to let the incident happen five years ago again. We need Chinese goods. If we kill them, who will give us goods?..."
As the governor, Acunia, considering the problem naturally cannot be as simple as Thomas. After hearing what Moga said, he calmed down. Now these specialties in China are becoming more and more popular among the nobles in Spain, and their trade with China is becoming larger and larger. If the innocent merchants and citizens in the Ming Dynasty in Luzon are massacred again, trade with China will inevitably be interrupted again. At that time, the nobles in China who are used to drinking Chinese tea cannot do without "Lao Ganma Hot Sauce" every meal will probably go wild, and maybe the governor will step down!
Thinking of this, Akunia turned his head and looked at Archbishop Miguel in a little hesitantly and kicked the ball to him: "Sir, what do you think about this matter?"
Miguel has always regarded himself as a wise man and said calmly: "Judge Mojia said it well. We need Chinese goods, so we cannot let the incident happen five years ago repeat. This Guo Zhiyuan is different from the physiological officials we have met. He is very cunning and familiar with us. He must not underestimate him. We have suffered losses last time..."
Thomas couldn't help it when he heard this and snatched the words: "So should we let this Guo Zhiyuan provoke? Do we want the dignity of our great Spanish Empire?..."
Miguel smiled slightly and said, "Of course we can't let them provoke. Have you ever heard a word? The bullets that have no outbursts are the most deterrent. Now our biggest problem is that Guo Zhiyuan knows us very well, but our understanding of him is very limited, so we are so passive. I suggest that we can send a fleet to Dongfan. On the one hand, we show our strength to our opponents, and on the other hand, we also understand our opponents. I heard that the Dutch are also very dissatisfied with Guo Zhiyuan. Without the help of the Dutch, I don't know what confidence Guo Zhiyuan has to face our powerful invincible fleet..."
Thomas still said a little dissatisfied: "What's there to know about this? We have seen a physiological warship. Such warships, one Spanish warship can kill a hundred ships. Give me a fleet and I can sweep them!"
Akunia interrupted Thomas, who had a simple mind and developed limbs, and waved his hand: "Thomas, don't say anything more. Just follow the Bishop's advice, we will send a fleet to Dongfan. This time I will go in person. Whether to start a war depends on the situation before deciding!..."
In the end, the Spanish sent a fleet of 22 Spanish sailboats. Although the number didn't sound too large, it was already a luxurious lineup. You should know that the Spanish could claim to be an invincible fleet, which was not the number, but their powerful firepower configuration. In colonies like the Philippines and Indonesia, the Spanish could sweep by just sending a few such warships. Even the Ming Navy at this time, when fighting with the Western maritime powers, they were still at an absolute disadvantage. They could only make up for this gap by dozens or even hundreds of times.
Taking the Naval Battle of Tuen Mun Island in Tuen Mun Island in 1521, the Ming Navy and the Portuguese Fleet took place on Tuen Mun Island as an example. At that time, the Ming Navy dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 50 warships and fishing boats, attacked the Portuguese armed group occupying Tuen Mun Island. At that time, the Portuguese had only 5 warships on Tuen Mun Island, and the total number of soldiers and sailors was only more than 800. As a result, the Ming Navy, which occupied an absolute advantage in the number of people and the number of ships, could not capture it for a long time and could only adopt a siege tactic. In the end, the Portuguese forced to break out of three warships when the ammunition and food were exhausted! It can be seen how big the gap in strength between the two sides is!
Not to mention that the Spanish Empire is far stronger than Portugal. Its fleet is even better than Portuguese warships in terms of firepower assembly and combat effectiveness. This time, the fleet of 22 Spanish sailing ships can be regarded as an eagle fighting rabbit. This shows Acunia's attention to this trip to Dongfan!
Such a powerful fleet was naturally fierce. The merchant ships and pirate ships along the way were shocked to see the Spanish flag flying high on the mast of the fleet from afar and flew away quickly. They knew that the Spanish fleet had been operating in the waters of Luzon, but this time it was so full of fanfare that something big was going to happen!
