Governor Motoloye, please don't forget that our relationship with you, Nanyang has preserved your country's colony in Luzon. As a witness of friendship, the Ming Dynasty should have obtained a colony in South America to strengthen the connection between the two continents." Arms waved his fists indignantly accused him. There was a faint intention of using Luzon to force the other party to surrender. South America has a lot of specialties. Although the emperor's order was to bring a batch of seeds back to cultivate, it was still far from enough to form rules. Therefore, in the near future, some necessary raw materials are still mainly trafficked. In addition, the emperor has always hoped to gain a foothold in South America. Therefore, Ams' mission is to try to obtain a colonial base in South America. The place does not need to be too large, and it will be possible to obtain a port. Of course, Arms will not show his trump card until the critical moment.

"Your Excellency, your request is too much. We can give you what you need, but without the permission of His Highness the King, I have no right to cut the land. I hope you can understand and please pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on my behalf." Motoloye's tone softened a lot. Luzon was basically barely maintained under the protection of the Ming Dynasty. If he turned against him on the spot, I am afraid that Spain will lose not only an ally, but a base in Nanyang, which will not benefit him.

Although his anger is better, it does not mean that he will surrender. Once a piece of land is given out, the Ming Dynasty will be able to gain a foothold in Central and South America. Ten years, perhaps a hundred years later, with the influence of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the entire America is likely to form a three-legged situation in the Netherlands, Spain and Ming Dynasty, and a strong competitor will be added out of thin air. This is absolutely intolerable for Motoloye. Who knows what the relationship between Spain and the Ming Dynasty will look like in dozens or hundreds of years?

"His Excellency the Governor.

"Although Arms was a Spanish, he stood opposite the Spanish governor without hesitation. He slapped the table with a slight slap: "I want to protest to you. I came to represent the powerful Ming emperor and the invincible Ming fleet. I hope you can clearly keep Luzon and give your country the right to trade. And..." Arms paused here and began to throw out his trump card: "You must know that the warships and muskets required for your country in Europe were purchased from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had enough heart to give all the help of allies, even weapons. But your actions deeply hurt the heart of a Ming envoy, which forced me to think about whether there should be any restrictions in the arms transaction with your country."

Motoloye finally frowned. In fact, as a sunset empire, Spain, which was once prominent, has not yet declined immediately. It still leaves a wide colony on the five continents. However, the empire did not have enough power to guard them, especially Spain, which was already trapped in a huge war. This was the enduring war that exhausted all European countries, but both sides of the camp were struggling to support it, not because they were like the war.

He Renzhong, but everyone saw the hope of victory. All the royal families hoped to get the spoils they deserved. They had invested too much, a large number of gold coins and tens of thousands of soldiers. They had to recover their capital, not to their capital and profits. If this is the case, continue the war, otherwise even if the investment of the power of the country is in the middle of the journey, it would be like a waste of water. For Spain to continue the war, it would be necessary to purchase the ships and weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

This is really an embarrassing thing. Three or four years ago, when the Spaniards had just entered the war, the Ming Dynasty began to sell various huge warships and exquisite muskets and artillery to the countries in the alliance at a very low price. In order to win the war, the countries closed all arms factories without hesitation. A large number of skilled workers began to lose their jobs. Some of them had already devoted themselves to another industry three or four years later and forgot their original skills.

More skilled workers sat on ferries on long distances and headed to the land in the east. They knew that there was a legendary land of gold that was recruiting skilled craftsmen, with monthly salary even as high as five silver coins. If they were made long enough, even six or seven silver coins would not be a problem. There, they would not be discriminated against. The Spaniards could even become close ministers of the emperor. As long as you have the skills, you can become one of them.

Three or four years of hard work were enough to quickly be forgotten in the unknown corner, a large number of talents began to be lost, and even craftsmen who repaired damaged warships in the dock were difficult to find. If the Ming Dynasty imposed some trade ban on Spain, Motoloye could almost imagine that the Portuguese could easily enter their territory and control their oceans, and even in the distant colonies could not be preserved. As for Spain and the Ming Dynasty, it was simply

Tan, perhaps the French could have such a choice, but as the Dutch and its archenemy, joining the Dutch alliance was almost equivalent to automatically disarming itself. The Portuguese were eager to launch a war of revenge against the Spanish Kingdom, and the Dutch had always had an extremely strong interest in Spanish overseas colonies. They would rather have a hostile Spain than a Spain become their ally.

Motoloye's lips trembled and he pondered in pain. He really didn't want to give Daming a piece of land, even if he didn't want it at all. But reality tells him that if the declining Spain wants to continue to influence the world and to defend its once glorious fruit of victory, it must rely on the influence of the Ming Dynasty. Now Spain cannot even make a giant warship independently. If it is abandoned by Daming, Motoloye will of course be very clear about the consequences.

"Your Excellency, I smell the scent of threats. I think you should not speak to me in such inappropriate words as an ally." Motoloye first protested seriously, and then his tone eased a little: "Of course, my friend, I will consider your proposal, but it all takes time, right?"

Motoloye suddenly felt that the Ming Dynasty sold arms to Spain at a low price seemed to have some conspiracy. Although Spain, where the ordnance manufacturing industry had lost its ordnance manufacturing industry, could buy enough warships, artillery, and muskets at a low price, it seemed that it was not stronger than before. On the contrary, it seemed to be weaker. At least for the Ming Dynasty, Spain was completely controlled by the other side.

But the matter could no longer be restored. He had to consider the actual problems in front of him.

"Good. Governor. I know you will agree. I apologize to you. Maybe my words will be presumptuous. But please believe me. There is absolutely no threat in our conversation. We are allies, aren't we?" Arms continued to ask with a reserved smile: "Governor. When can you make a good decision? You know. It's not easy for us to come here. I hope you can be faster. Well. You know. I brought two thousand adventurers. These savages do not have enough gold to leave. They must help you clean up a few native tribes. Haha."

Ams' laughter made Motolo feel harsh. He didn't have much opinion on the adventurers' cleaning of tribes. There were too many local tribes. The colonists could only occupy the fortresses. All the white people lived in the city. The tribes outside the city were divided into two types by the Spanish. One was to pay a certain property on time as a tax tribe. These tribes would not suffer from adventurers or army sweeps. The other was hostile tribes.

Motoloye sank for a moment: "Please give me three days."

The next three days, Arms spent the next three days in New Zealand. During these days, the Ming army began to acquire a large number of specialties needed by the emperor. Three days later, when Arms entered the Governor's Mansion, Governor Motoloye pointed to an island and told him: "Here, we call it Chiloe Island. It is the largest island in western South America. It is only a few dozen nautical miles away from the mainland. It is equivalent to half a Luzon Island. It is enough for your country to build ports and cities here and carry out trade. Now they are your land."

Arms immediately began to look at the simple map. The island was occupied by the Spanish in 1567, and the land area was vast. The Spanish established two port cities, Ancud and Castro. The Spanish obviously hoped that the Ming Dynasty would be as far away as possible from their South America, so they would rather give them a large island than cut a piece of port land for them in a sea-side city on the mainland. Arms would have a volume of map: "Then, Lord Governor, please sign the order, and I will take your order and my fleet to the island, and accept it there."

Governor Motoloye gave Arms a document that had been prepared long ago: "Okay, sir, you finally got what you want. I hope you will have a happy life on that island, and there are several larger native tribes on that island, and you can destroy them."

Arms shrugged: "I hope they have enough gold. I heard that the gold worn by each native is enough for a few years to live a good life alone."

Motoloye smiled and said, "This is not necessarily the case, because our army has visited them several times. I think they should not be able to bring out much to comfort you."

Arms rolled the papers into a ball and stuffed them under his armpits: "Then I have to go back and be ready, may God wish us good luck."
