Before Zheng Zhilong arrived in Nanjing, the Spanish envoys came first.
They brought two hundred catties of spices and some American native products, and made a special trip from Manila to China to apologize to the emperor.
There are eight envoys in total, and the leader is called Anio.
These bastards were extremely humble. When they met, they knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Han: "Spanish missions, pay homage to the great and invincible Emperor of China!"
Zhao Han asked blankly: "I heard that you massacred Chinese people in Luzon for no reason?"
Anio replied: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, some bandits among the Chinese are entangled and want to capture Manila. When His Excellency the Governor heard the news, he sent troops to hunt down the rioters. Who knows, the damn Japanese mercenaries and Pampanga The local soldiers, they did not obey the orders of the Governor, they rushed to the Chinese-inhabited area and killed wantonly. The Governor was very angry and had already dealt with these Japanese and Pampanga people. The Governor felt sad and sorry for the misfortune of the Chinese, And let us come and apologize with presents."
Zhao Han has difficulty understanding the thinking of Europeans. The Philippine massacre of China this time is just like last year when the Netherlands went to Taipei to build a castle. It is completely crazy behavior.
There is no need for Zhao Han to react at all, because Manila has become a "dead city" due to the massacre of Chinese.
What is a dead city?
There is no barber, no shoe repairer, no one repairs the docked boats, and no one even cleans up the shit.
The operation of the city came to a standstill, and the Spanish civilians who participated in the murder and robbery were unable to buy the most basic daily necessities after robbing blood-stained goods.
Since you can't understand it, you don't have to understand it.
Zhao Han didn't even bother to ask any more questions, he waved his hand and said, "Except for the leader, cut off all limbs and cut off their tongues. It's better to heal them, don't let them die. This leader, cut off the thumbs of both hands and feet, let He brought a sentence back to Luzon: blood for blood!"
After the translation was completed, the Spanish envoy was terrified.
Arneau shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, we are messengers, you can't do this!"
"Take it down." Zhao Han turned a deaf ear.
Eight Spanish envoys were dragged to the execution ground. Not only the executioner came, but also several skilled trauma doctors were invited to stop the bleeding and heal their wounds at any time.
"ah!"
There were screams one after another, some people fainted from pain, while others fainted from fright.
It's okay to cut off the arms, but it's troublesome to cut off the legs, often with one cut and two more cuts.
Hemostasis is also very rough, burn the red hot iron along the cross-section of the limbs, scald the flesh and blood into coke, and apply some gold sore medicine to bandage it.
Before it was Arnio's turn, this guy fainted from fright.
After waking up with cold water and having his thumb cut off from all four limbs, Anio could only cry in despair. He just lost his labor force, but the others were cut into human sticks. It has to be said that he is very lucky.
The guys were thrown aboard and returned to the Philippines immediately.
As for how many people will die on the way, Zhao Han doesn't care, it doesn't matter if they all die.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch envoys arrived in Nanjing almost at the same time.
Just like encouraging Japan to expel Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands also wants to seize the opportunity this time and instigate Zhao Han to send troops to attack Manila.
The deputy envoy and translator of the Dutch mission was actually a Chinese.
Zhao Han summoned this person alone and asked, "When did you travel to Nanyang?"
Huang Zan replied: "Three years ago."
Zhao Han was quite surprised: "In three years, you became the deputy envoy of the Dutch mission?"
Huang Zan was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Cao Min's first wife is the widow of a member of the Batavia Council."
Well, married a widow with money and connections.
Zhao Han asked: "Are there many rich widows in Nanyang?"
Huang Zan lowered his head and replied, "There are a lot."
Southeast Asian rich widows have become a group.
When the European colonists came to Southeast Asia, it was impossible to kill all the aborigines. They had to recruit a group and fight another group. Most of these colonists were men, and there were almost no European women, so they intermarried with local women.
Most of those who were able to intermarry with the upper-class colonists also came from aboriginal aristocratic families.
Through their natal family's local influence and their husband's status as a colonial official, they personally went into business and made a lot of money. Moreover, the money is not the husband's, but what he earns is his own, unless the husband chooses to go to war with the woman's family.
?; It is not only sold in the Netherlands, but also in Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Today, opium has spread in Java and Sumatra, and has begun to spread from the upper class to the bottom. A large number of Chinese merchants, as well as Chinese laborers, have become addicted to opium.
Historically, no one has stopped this behavior. By the 19th century, 16% of Javanese smoked opium. They even offered opium to their guests as a sign of hospitality, and opium became a must at banquets for the Javanese nobility. In the entire Java Island, the Chinese consume the largest amount of opium, and even the low-level civilians are buying and smoking!
Compared with the opium trade in the Netherlands, the two Chinese selling opium in Vietnam are simply nothing.
Zhao Han asked: "Do Jimei (Cambodia) and Annan have drug business?"
"Jimi has it, but very few, and it seems that Annan hasn't passed it on." Huang Zan replied.
Opium has been flooded in Java Island, so it must spread to the whole of Southeast Asia.
In the late Qing Dynasty, opium was rampant in China, and the root of the disaster came from European businessmen in the late Ming Dynasty. The Netherlands alone sells more than 50,000 kilograms of opium every year, plus the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal, how many Asians will be killed!
After inquiring about the news again, Huang Zan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, the joint dispatch of troops with the Netherlands"
