Detabola was really helpless. Although he knew that the settlement treaty proposed by the Ming Empire was quite unfair to them, he had to come over and sign it with them.

Because if they don't sign, they will suffer greater losses.

As for Zhu Qizhao, to be honest, he was really worried that the Spanish governor would not come.

After all, Spain was the former maritime overlord, and they were always the only ones who bullied others. This time, they were forced to sign such an unequal peace agreement. As a governor like a rank-in-law, can he be so embarrassed?

If someone doesn't come, it will be a little trouble, because he really doesn't have time to go to Southeast Asia to attack Manila. Moreover, even if he takes Manila, it will be a troublesome to arrange people to guard it.

After all, Manila is more than 2,000 miles away from the Eastern Band, and even five or six thousand miles away from Nanyang. At such a long distance, if something happens, it will be very troublesome to send a message.

At this moment, his focus is still on the Ming Dynasty. He has to take over the Ming Dynasty first to have enough time to take care of the affairs at sea.

Fortunately, the Spanish Governor was quite sensible and came over honestly.

Zhu Qizhu was quite happy. Not only did he personally bring people to welcome him at the dock, but he also politely invited the people into the newly built general's mansion and sat down in the spacious conference room.

They didn't wait for the past half month. Just so happened that he saw that the Spaniards also had plans to build a city on Sheliao Island, and the outline of the city wall and the foundation of the Governor's Mansion had been excavated.

He simply wanted to pass the drawings, organize people, and build them quickly on the original basis.

At this moment, the total number of people under him and Zheng Zhilong was as high as 50,000. Except for those who went to Manila to pick up people and those who had to be on duty on warships, more than 20,000 could get off the boat to work. The city planned by the Spaniards was actually a small small town that could accommodate thousands of people. It was less than a mile long and wide, so it was simply too simple to build.

So, when Carinho brought Detabola back, the city wall was almost completed and the Governor's Mansion had been built, but the originally planned Governor's Mansion was hung with the sign of the General's Mansion.

These people are so awesome.

They expected that the city of San Salvador would take at least one year to build, but it was almost done in half a month!

After Carinho muttered in Detabola's ear for a while, Detabola's face became even more serious.

The Ming Empire cannot afford to offend!

Judging from their efficiency, if they really need to fight, it will probably take a few days to deal with them.

He asked humbly: "General Zheng, I don't know what these two are called."

Uh, this one.

Zheng Zhilong was really stopped.

Qi Yuanbi is okay, just like him, he is a guerrilla general. How do you introduce the problem?

He said helplessly: "Brother Zhu, I ask you what you call me."

This is not simple yet.

Zhu Qizhuo joked: "Just say I am the King of Qi."

King Qi?

This famous deposed king has gone on to have more stories about the deposed king of Qi among the people.

Zheng Zhilong looked at him like a monster and said carefully: "Didn't the King of Qi be deposed in the Yongle Dynasty? You are not really a descendant of the King of Qi, right?"

What is the King of Qi?

I'm talking about King Qi, okay?

Zhu Qizhuo said laughing and crying: "The Qi I am talking about is my name, not Qi from Qi."

this!

The strange king?

You want to rebel!

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be stunned and said, "This is not good to call the king without authorization?"

What is the king without authorization?

I am the prince, okay? The King of Tang in Nanyang is me!

Of course, this red utensil is not ready to tell Zheng Zhilong about this.

He continued to joke: "What's wrong? Don't you know? The thief leaders in the northwest dare to be kings with only a few thousand or even hundreds of people. I have tens of thousands of people under my command, right? It's not an exaggeration to call him a king?"

This seems to make sense.

The problem is not overdoing it, I have no choice but to decide. The court must know, and I won’t kill you!

Zheng Zhilong asked solemnly: "You really want to be king?"

This guy must know that I am the Tang King of Nanyang and I don’t know what his expression is.

Zhu Qizhu couldn't help but smile and said, "Just just kidding. Didn't they ask me what my identity is? This identity of the prince is worth it, right?"

Zheng Zhilong almost fainted when he heard this.

You guy, what a joke is not good, but you just make such a joke.

It doesn’t matter if you say you are the governor and governor. If you call the king without authorization, you will rebel and you will be beheaded!

This is a joke.

Zheng Zhilong said helplessly: "You really want me to tell others like this?"

Zhu Qizhuo nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, just say I am the King of Qi."

Well, since you are so unafraid of death, I will say it.

Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a moment, pointed his hand and introduced: "This is His Highness, King Qi of our Ming Dynasty, and this is General Qi."

It turns out to be a king!

Detabola quickly stood up, stroked her chest and lowered her head, and said respectfully: "Juan Neo Detabola, the Governor of the Kingdom of Spain to Manila, see His Highness King Chi."

He obviously misunderstood.

Because many countries in the continent are kingdoms, that is, kingdoms enfeoffed by an empire, but the king has great power and can basically be independent. For example, the Bohemia, the Eastern Frankish Kingdom, the Germanic Kingdom, etc. enfeoffed under the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, the Kingdom of Spain is also a branch of the Holy Roman Empire.

He thought that the Ming Empire was the same.

Zhu Qizhu didn't expect that he would take it seriously if he just joked.

After hearing Zheng Zhilong's translation, he could only raise his hand helplessly and said, "Governor General, please sit down. Let's talk about peace agreement. Do you have any opinions on peace agreement?"

Originally, he thought that he would bargain at least, and even get angry because of humiliation.

Unexpectedly, Detabola said without hesitation: "I have no objection to the peace treaty. Our Spain really has no intention of invading the Ming Empire. This is a misunderstanding. We are willing to compensate for this."

Uh, this one.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be stunned.

When did the Spanish speak so easily?

He was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't believe it: "He said they had no objection and they were willing to compensate for the invasion of our Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, even Zhu Qizhu was stunned.

Why is this guy so cowardly? He surrendered without struggling.

He pushed the peace agreement in front of him and asked solemnly: "You really have no objection?"

This peace has been attached to Spanish, and Detabola can understand it without any translation.

He looked at the peace agreement very seriously, then nodded and said, "We have no objection to the three points on the peace agreement, but we hope to add a little more."

Do you still think you are not bullied enough?

Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help but curiously said, "What should I add?"

Detabola said carefully: "We hope that your country can allow our merchant ships to replenish food and fresh water here. If possible, we also hope to buy some silk, porcelain, tea and other things from here. After all, the merchant ships from the Americas have unloaded a million kilograms of copper and are basically empty. If we don't transport some goods back, we will lose too much."

Oh, that's what it means.

Zhu Qituo understood that this guy wanted to continue doing business with the Ming Dynasty, or to continue doing business with the maritime merchants and pirates in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, whether it is silk cloth, porcelain or tea, the profits are quite high. As long as it can be shipped to the continent, the price may be several times or even dozens of times.

This is easy to say!

The reason why he was so "polite" to the Spanish was that he wanted to monopolize the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty through others.

Since they have offered it on their own initiative, they naturally cannot agree so happily!

He still knows a little about negotiation skills, the most important thing is that he cannot understand your intentions.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then he reluctantly said: "This is not bad, but I hope you can follow the price of copper in America."

This is a bit outrageous, because the Ming Dynasty lacks copper and the Americas produces a lot of copper ores, so the prices on both sides are many times different.

Detabola hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, how much do you think is suitable? Let's try to meet your requirements."

Then I'm not polite.

Zhu Qizhuo tentatively said: "What do you think of ten pounds of silver?"

I think you are clearly snatching our copper!

But, it doesn't matter, our copper was also stolen!

Detabola gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, ten pounds of silver, a deal."

This price was ridiculously cheap in the Ming Dynasty, but it was still profitable for them and the colonists.

Because they just robbed other people's copper mines, mined and smelted copper, and they forced the natives to do it. There was basically no cost. Even if they had ten pounds of silver, they could earn tens of thousands of taels of taels of gold after one trip.

This profit is nothing, but the travel expenses used as crew members and sailors are enough. Even if they save this money, they don’t suffer much loss.

Due to Detabola's considerable cooperation, the two sides quickly signed a settlement treaty.

In this way, Zhuqiu not only earned one million taels of silver and Maluojia, a strategic location, but also harvested one million kilograms of the most important strategic materials, copper every year.

More importantly, he was able to gradually monopolize the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty through Spain.
Chapter completed!
