    "I have met His Highness."

    After Wang Shan¡¯s introduction, Llano respectfully gave a noble salute.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded, and then said: "Sir, you said you are Pedro's friend, and you want to see me for some reason?"

    Rano stood there and replied with a smile on his face: "Because of what you said to Pedro yesterday, I have to come to see you, Your Highness."

    It¡¯s interesting, the other party seems to be very direct.

    Zhao Hongyu smiled: "Then just say it directly, we don't need to beat around the bush, that would be too troublesome, wouldn't it?"

    Lano nodded: "That's true. There's no point in being secretive. I came here just to know why Your Highness knew about our affairs and why you said those words to Pedro.  ?", there are many questions in Lano's heart, and now he plans to ask them all.

    Zhao Hongyu said: "What, did my approach confuse you? If I follow your idea, I should tell the officials in Lisbon everything about you, and then ask them to send law enforcement officers to arrest you."

    Lano placed his right hand on his lower abdomen and bowed: "According to common sense, it is indeed normal to do this. However, Your Highness did not do this and said some strange words to Pedro, so we are really a little confused.  . If it is convenient, your highness could help me solve this confusing problem. I would be very grateful."

    Zhao Hongyu sat behind his desk and looked at Lano carefully.

    Wearing tattered clothes and the shoes on his feet with exposed toes, it can be seen that Lano's life is not very good.

    ¡° But once Rano saw him, he behaved very appropriately.  It can be said that it is impossible to do this without special training.

    From this point of view, it can be inferred that this man named Llano may also be a nobleman who has fallen into disgrace.

    "Your Highness, the Rano-Salal-no-Steinman family is also a long-established noble family in Portugal. Their original title was count. Like the Pedro family, they are a major concern for the Spaniards."

    At this time, Wang Shan bent down and whispered to Zhao Hongyu some information about Lano's family.

    This information was all found out by Wang Shan and others in Lisbon these days. It must be said that Wang Shan has an amazing talent for intelligence collection.

    Wang Shan has some information about not only Rano, but also all members of the Knights of Sadaros.

    Although it¡¯s not that detailed, it¡¯s not like it¡¯s a black eye.

    "Rano, I want to ask you, do you organize this small organization, the Knights of Sadaros, just to rob families and then distribute the looted wealth to the poor? Don't you have a more noble ideal?  ?¡±

    After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s low-pitched report, Zhao Hongyu spoke loudly to La Nuo.

    "Your Highness, I am just a down-and-out nobleman. With my current ability, I can only do this. People should have a clear understanding of their own position. It is not a good thing to aim too high."

    Rano replied.

    Zhao Hongyu was not very satisfied with Lano's answer. This guy was as slippery as a loach.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?????????? YY novels are not trustworthy, and I don¡¯t have any domineering air, I can¡¯t make people bow to me as soon as I see them.

    After sighing in his heart, Zhao Hongyu looked at Lano seriously: "The purpose of your knighthood is very good, and it has the style of a thieves. But I don't think you can continue like this. In the end, you will inevitably be beaten by the Spaniards.  Destroy."

    Zhao Hongyu said this very seriously, and Lano himself admitted it in his heart.

    "Your Highness, what can we do? This is what we are capable of." Lano nodded slowly.

    Zhao Hongyu sat behind his desk, looked at Lano and said: "Have you never thought about uniting all the Portuguese who have been treated unfairly to resist the violence of the Spanish? Instead of just being robbers in a small way  , I think the uprising can help more people."

    After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Lano raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongyu with shining eyes.

    "Your Highness, how capable are you of doing most things? It's not that we haven't thought about the uprising, but those ordinary people just want a stable life, and I don't think they will start with us.", Rano also  Seriously answered Zhao Hongyu's question.  "Besides, if we rise up to resist, how long do you think we can sustain without weapons and food?"

    What Rano talks about are real issues,? is an issue that cannot be ignored.

    Yes, the people at the bottom don¡¯t care who rules the country. All they want is a stable life with enough food to eat.

    Only the nobles will not be content with the status quo and want to restore their former glory.

    Therefore, without the support of a large number of people at the bottom, it is simply a joke to resist the Spanish.

    ¡°Besides, these dissatisfied nobles have all lost their land and wealth.  They were completely unable to organize a decent team to fight the Spaniards.

    " Just like what Rano said to Zhao Hongyu, without weapons and food, how could they resist the Spaniards.

    This is very unrealistic.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "The problem is very clear, not bad."

    "Your Highness, when you said those words to Pedro, you didn't mean to encourage him, or us, to resist the Spanish." Lano looked at Zhao Hongyu as if he were an idiot.

    Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders: "Why not? It depends on whether you have the courage. If I say that I will provide you with sophisticated weapons and enough food for you to fight the Spanish, I don't know if you are interested.  .¡±

    "What good can you do?", Rano is not a fool, he does not believe that the crown prince will make a loss.

    Zhao Hongyu saw Lano's heartbeat, so he said to Lano: "Of course there are many benefits, but there is no conflict with you. Our goal is Spain's Central American colonies, and you will restore the Portuguese territory with my support.  Even defeat the Spaniard and then destroy him.¡±

    Rano felt that the Crown Prince of the Americas was not only an idiot, but also a lunatic.

    How could the Spanish Empire be defeated as soon as it was said to be defeated? How could it be so easy?

    Don¡¯t look at it. It sounds easy to touch the upper lip to the lower lip, but it is not that easy to do it.

    All aspects of this must be considered.

    It¡¯s very simple. Even if there is a supply of weapons and food, how many people at the bottom are willing to rise up and resist?

    This is an unknown number.

    If the people at the bottom don¡¯t rise up to resist, then their plan will be in vain.

    It¡¯s really not even a fart.

    Spain is different. It has more than a dozen legions, a larger land area and a larger population than Portugal.

    ¡°Thinking it all together, what this His Highness from America envisioned is not that reliable.

    "Don't look at me like I'm an idiot. There will be no results if things are not done. Don't draw conclusions too early." Zhao Hongyu, who was very unhappy with La Nuo's eyes, said loudly to La Nuo.  "And I'm not asking you to organize your troops right away and come out to resist the Spaniards."

    At this time, Wang Shan left Zhao Hongyu's side, walked to Lano and said: "We have a plan here that allows you to recruit people and incite the Portuguese people to stand up against the Spanish. And we can also hire you  A mercenary legion of about five thousand people is here to support you in fighting the Spanish."

    In fact, regarding this plan, Zhao Hongyu and the others have a series of complete ideas. What they lack is just the objects of support.

    "Why us?"

    Rano asked very strangely.

    It would be a lie to say that Llano was not moved. After all, his ancestors were nobles, and now he has fallen because of the Spaniards.

    Therefore, the resentment towards the Spaniards in my heart is very heavy.

    If this were not the case, he would not secretly organize a knighthood to rob the Spaniards.

    And the members of the Knights basically have the same thoughts and experiences as Llano and Pedro.

    And Pedro also thought about revolting against Spanish rule.

    Otherwise, he and his companions would not have distributed all the looted property to the poor farmers.

    The reason why he did this was to gain a good reputation and attract more people to join him to make his power even greater.

    It is a pity that although his approach is liked by the poor farmers, they also happily accept the property he distributes.  But these low-level citizens have their own rules of survival.

    They collect the property, but if you follow Lano and the others to rob, that's out of the question.

    Because everyone knows that there is no way out as a bandit, and the Spaniards will not let them go.

    Therefore, Rano¡¯s plan is not?Ideal.

    Therefore, his early ideals gradually faded away.

    But in order to maintain his good reputation, he had to continue to rob and distribute the property to the poor.

    ???????? Even in order to gain support for himself, he had to live a life of poverty.

    In this regard, some people in the group have begun to waver, which is a very bad phenomenon.

    Today I met Zhao Hongyu, although he was said to be moved.

    But it also made him more cautious.

    There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason. He still knows it.

    Portugal is not a big country, but they are not the only bandit group. Why did Zhao Hongyu choose them?

    Moreover, it is not no that the tissue of resisting the Spanish is not available.

    These all puzzled Rano.

    If he doesn¡¯t figure it out, Rano feels that he can¡¯t cooperate with His Highness from America.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
