Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Silva stood at the window of the Government House in Intramuros, Manila.  Looking at the physiological man, or Balian City, where the Chinese live, he frowned and said nothing.

    "My Lord Bishop, you know that I am a pious man, and I do not like those pagans. I have always believed that the king should gather all the fleets to launch a holy war to wipe these pagans from the islands in the east."

    In seventeenth-century Europe, the Catholic theocracy held a very high status, even overriding the secular power of kings and lords.  In this era, countless nobles and commoners were sentenced to death by the Inquisition because of their careless words and deeds and were deemed to have weak faith.  In Europe of this era, the Holy See was extremely sacred to European civilians.  Whoever offends the Holy See will be abandoned by the people and the game will be over soon.

    Even in distant Luzon, the status of the Archbishop of Manila is extremely high.  For some major matters, the Archbishop of Manila has considerable say and even decision-making power.

    The Spanish Duke of Silva, dressed in aristocratic attire, looked at the archbishop and said in an aristocratic tone of regret, "Like you, Your Excellency, I hate these pagans. They believe in the devil. They refuse to be baptized by a priest. I live with these people every day.  Together, it¡¯s a hell of a time in Manila.¡±

    Raising the black tea in his hand towards the physiological man outside, Duke Sylva raised his eyebrows helplessly and said,

    "Mr. Bishop, do you know? I am very reluctant to come to Manila. It was all the deception of my aunt, that nagging lady, that made me helpless to become the governor of this island."

    The Bishop of Manila was an old man. He seemed to be very amused by the Governor's pious words. He looked at Duke Silva with a smile and said nothing.

    "but¡­"

    When the conversation changed, the Governor of Manila said helplessly, "But now that I have become the Governor, I must pay attention to Spain's interests in the Far East. Today, what I have to say is that the physiological man is really awesome."

    Walking under the incomplete map of Greater East Asia, Silva pointed to the northern part of Borneo occupied by Pang Ning, pointed to the location of Colau Port, and then pointed to Taiwan Island.

    "That pirate, the physiological pirate, do you know, Lord Bishop? His name is Pang Ning. Four years ago, he only had a few small broken ships and was a pirate who robbed the Dutch. But now, here, here, and here. Everywhere.  It¡¯s this Pang Ning¡¯s place.¡±

    The Archbishop of Manila didn¡¯t know what the Governor meant. He squinted at the blurry navigation map and said nothing.

    Silva glanced at the archbishop, gestured with a dazed look at the distance between Hainan Island and the four Japanese islands, and shook his head.  Then, he spread his hands and said,

    ¡°My Lord Bishop, maybe you don¡¯t know yet, but this Pang Ning conquered Japan.¡±

    Hearing these words, the Bishop of Manila, who was wearing a white robe and a tall miter, was stunned and said in surprise,

    "This is impossible, Duke Silva, this is impossible. The Japanese are a big country with many people."

    "Unfortunately, this is a fact, Lord Bishop. The clipper ship that came from San Salvador last night brought this news. This is terrible. This physiological man defeated Japan's 100,000 people with 10,000 people. Bishop, you  Do you know? One hundred thousand people! Those warriors are papery. If I had known that these warriors were so vulnerable, I would have taken my four guards to conquer Japan."

    "This is really terrible. This pirate, this Pang Ning is about to sweep the entire Far Eastern ocean."

    Seemingly feeling unprecedented fear due to the news of Pang Ning¡¯s conquest of Japan, Silva looked blankly at the large and rough navigation map and babbled a bit glumly,

    "The king should really gather a fleet to come to the Far East and wipe these pagans who believe in the devil off the map. This matter is very important, more important than the war in the Caribbean, and more important than defeating those English pirates."

    Hearing Silva¡¯s words, the Archbishop of Manila walked to the edge of the map in surprise and looked at the four distant Japanese islands. The Archbishop of Manila was thinking about something and did not speak.

    Silva put the porcelain cup on the table and looked at the archbishop's expression.

    Finally, he said what he said.

    "My Lord Bishop, I have to say with regret that Manila can no longer support the city of San Salvador in the north of Dongyi Island."

    The Archbishop of Manila seemed to have guessed this sentence and nodded.

    Silva gained more courage from the old man¡¯s calm face, took a breath and said,

    "The garrison and castle in San Salvador were all set up for trade with the Japanese. The cost was very high, Bishop. Nine years ago, the Tokugawa shogunate refused to continue trading with us because of our request to send priests to preach.  .Those damn pagans?You can believe in anything for money.  It was impossible for him to change his beliefs about money.  "

    The Governor of Manila had a bad impression of Pang Ning.  Many times, Pang Ning rolled up her sleeves with him whenever they disagreed.  The navy of the Nanhai people almost came to war with the Spaniards many times, but in the blink of an eye, in order to sell the silk produced in the Nanhai country to Europe, and to earn the money the Spaniards poached from South America, Pang Ning would write a letter to ask as if nothing had happened.  trading.  Silva had a bad impression of Pang Ning, thinking that Pang Ning was a businessman like a Dutchman.

    The Archbishop of Manila has never dealt with Pang Ning and does not understand this physiological man.  After hearing Silva's words, he rearranged his thoughts.

    But obviously, he doesn't care what kind of person Pang Ning is.

    Looking at Silva, the archbishop nodded and said, "Yes, you should withdraw from San Salvador. I think Pang Ning doesn't like you staying in San Salvador. It seems to threaten the territory of the physiological man. That island is  Physiologically, there is no doubt that you should withdraw!"

    Silva was stunned for a moment and looked at the archbishop in surprise.

    But the Archbishop of Manila didn¡¯t look at him, he just frowned and said,

    "You should withdraw, and I, I will contact Gonzalez. For the sake of Japanese missionary work, we need to get close to Pang Ning."
