    "Fortunately, the Song Empire does not have a privateering license, otherwise I think we in Europe will never have peace. Because judging from the survivors' descriptions, the strength of the Song Empire's fleet is definitely not something that European fleets can compete with."

    "Flar didn't know what Zhang Xiu was thinking at this time. He was just expressing his opinions.

    As for Zhang Xiu, he was of course so shocked by Flair's description of the Song Empire's fleet that he was stunned.

    Because Zhang Xiu really couldn't imagine how big a warship would be to be able to carry 108 artillery pieces.  And what will happen when such a warship sails and fights at sea?

    My dear!

    "Mr. Zhang, I'm very surprised. Why did your boss, Mr. Zheng Zhilong, become interested in America and the Song Empire? Could it be that you want to cross the ocean and continue to be pirates in American waters?"

    Flair finally couldn¡¯t bear to ask this question.

    In fact, he was very curious about this issue.

    Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to answer himself, Flair continued on by himself: "If Mr. Zheng Zhilong really has such an idea, as a friend I would say it is very unwise. Let's not talk about the distance of the voyage to America.  , just say that your sea-going ships are simply not suitable for ocean voyages"

    The ghost is your friend!

    "Who would be friends with a barbarian like you? You think it's quite beautiful, and it's quite flattering to your own face.

    My boss doesn¡¯t look down on you at all. Well, if you say you are my boss¡¯s friend, then I will spit on you.

    Zhang Xiu looked at where Flair's mouth was opening and closing, feeling disgusted in his heart.

    At the same time, he kept complaining in his heart about Flair's behavior of claiming to be his friend.

    "As a subordinate, I don't know what my boss thinks. Anyway, my boss asked me to find someone to ask, so I will follow his instructions and ask. As for why, I really don't know."

    Zhang Xiu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said to Flair.

    Well!

    When Flair heard this, Zhang Xiu didn't know why Zheng Zhilong was interested in America, and he was also stunned.

    But he soon felt relieved.

    Since you don¡¯t know, then you don¡¯t know. If Zheng Zhilong is really interested in America and wants to send people to be pirates there, as he thinks, then let him go.

    After Zheng Zhilong lost a large number of manpower on the ship during the voyage, I think he will become more honest.

    ???????? This person always has to suffer some losses and learn a lesson, so that he can know his own weight.

    So, Flair is too lazy to care about what Zheng Zhilong means. It has nothing to do with him.

    hey-hey!

    Even if Zheng Zhilong was lucky and his fleet arrived in America, was the Song Empire's fleet so easy to deal with?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke!

    The power of the Song Empire's fleet has been spread throughout Europe.

    Even among the Europeans here in the East, it is like thunder.

    Others don¡¯t know how powerful it is, but how could Flair not know it.

    In a naval battle, the power of 108 artillery fire is very clear to Europeans who have already begun to engage in artillery battle tactics at sea.

    Especially the artillery of the Song Empire warships has a long range, which can completely suppress the enemy.

    " Add in the speed of the opponent's warship tsk tsk tsk, it's invincible.

    It¡¯s not surprising that Easterners don¡¯t know how powerful it is, because they have never seen what such a naval battle is like.

    "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Eat meat, drink wine, and I'll leave after I'm done."

    The goods have been delivered, and Zheng Zhilong has already inquired about most of the things that Zheng Zhilong asked him to inquire about.  So Zhang Xiu doesn't want to stay here any longer. It can be seen that Zhang Xiu really doesn't like Manila.

    Leaving so soon?

    Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, Flair's eyes widened.

    "Stay a few more days, why are you leaving right now?", Flair wanted to stay with Zhang Xiu for a few days.  However, his good intentions were doomed to fail, because Zhang Xiu didn't want to stay at all.

    "Thank you for your kindness. I will leave after eating this food and drinking. Do you have anything you want me to bring to the boss?"

    Zhang Xiu asked.

    have!

    ? ?Sure enough, I have something to say!

    Since Zhang Xiu doesn¡¯t want to stay, Flair certainly won¡¯t force him to stay.

    When he heard Zhang Xiu's question, he immediately said: "I wonder what I asked Boss Zheng to inquire about earlier. Is there any news from Boss Zheng? Those of us who have lost our motherland are really desperate now.  "

    When Flair said this, Zhang Xiu immediately knew what he was asking.

    Dare to love, asking about it to go to Daming.

    ???As for the Spaniards in Nanyang who wanted to submit to the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the top leaders of Zheng Zhilong's pirate group knew about it.

    For this reason, they also canceled the Spaniards.

    Fan Bang's small country barbarians, and even the country is destroyed, what qualifications do they have to rely on the Ming Dynasty.

    You know, not everyone wants Daming.

    "Moreover, no one knows whether Zheng Zhilong really put in the effort to do this. If Zheng Zhilong didn't put in all the effort, this matter would be very mysterious.

    Even if Zheng Zhilong puts in the effort, it will be useless if the big guys in the court don't agree.

    "The emperor's meaning is not important at all.

    What matters is the opinion of those in the cabinet. If they say it will work, then it will really work.

    "Are you talking about surrendering?"

    Zhang Xiu took a bite of braised beef, then raised his eyebrows and asked.

    "Flarr said surrender, but Zhang Xiu asked about surrender.  Even though there is only one word missing, the meaning inside is huge.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that, of course, Flair, who is not very proficient in Eastern culture and language, will not know the problem here.

    He nodded: "Yes, we sincerely want to submit to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty allows us to become its subjects, then we are willing to dedicate the six cities of Nanyang and guard this sea area for the Ming Dynasty."

    " On this point, Flair has no intention of hiding it from Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu is also a Ming Dynasty man.  It¡¯s impossible to say that they will still be compatriots in the same country in the future, at least that¡¯s what Flair thinks.

    However, he didn¡¯t know that these Ming people looked down on these yellow-haired and blue-eyed guys at all, and despised them from the bottom of their hearts.

    How could a rich, handsome man look down on a diaosi?

    This is a normal thing.

    "I will go back and ask the boss about this matter. However, you have been here in the East for a long time. You should also know that this matter is not a trivial matter. Although our boss is capable, he cannot do everything.  Yes. If hundreds of thousands of you want to join us, at least the big shots in the imperial court must speak out about this matter."

    After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Flair nodded repeatedly.

    He has been in the East for a few years, and of course he has done in-depth research on the culture here.

    So, he still knows a little bit about the style of the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats.

    "I understand what you are saying. This time when I go back, I will ask my subordinates to bring some money to Boss Zheng. Half of it is for Boss Zheng, and the rest is for Boss Zheng to use to smooth over the officials."

    Here in the East, Flair has learned a trick: bribery.

    In fact, this method is also very popular in Europe, but it is more elegant in the East.

    Zhang Xiu smiled: "I will take care of what you mean, so don't worry. I can't get involved in this matter between you and the boss."

    What Zhang Xiu said is true. Whoever he is and what his status is, he has no way to get involved in this matter.

    Flar didn¡¯t ask for anything, he just asked Zheng Zhilong to do things after receiving the money.

    Soon, Zhang Xiu finished eating.

    He said goodbye to Flair and took his men back to the ship at the dock.

    At this time, the cargo on the ship has been unloaded, and Flar's payment has been delivered.  At the same time, he asked Zhang Xiu to put the money and jewelry that Zhang Xiu had brought to Zheng Zhilong for bribes on the ship.

    Raise the sail and weigh the anchor!

    As Zhang Xiu boarded his ship, the sailors on the deck began to get busy.

    The sail on the pole slowly rose and opened, and the anchor in the water was slowly raised by the winch.

    Seeing Zhang Xiu and their ships leaving Manila, Flair put away the flattering smile on his face.

    A Spanish guard swordsman behind him asked in a low voice at this time: "Your Majesty the Governor, can Zheng Zhilong really accomplish this for us? I always feel a little uneasy and worried.Zheng Zhilong took the money and did nothing. If this is the case, we will suffer a great loss.  "

    Flair did not look back, and the expression on his face did not change.

    Hearing this, he was silent for a moment before responding: "What else can we do? The motherland is gone, and we have all become wanderers. If we don't submit to the Ming Dynasty, we won't have anything at all.  The way out. Although Nanyang is still under our control, if the indigenous people here riot, what do you think we should do"

    Flair said a lot.

    The expressions on the faces of the Spanish swordsman guards around him were very ugly.

    Yes, the Governor is right. What else can they do now besides believing in Zheng Zhilong?

    They have lost their motherland and have no choice.

    Although there are hundreds of thousands of compatriots here in Nanyang, that's all they are.

    ¡°It would be fine if there was no accident, but if there was an accident, what could these hundreds of thousands of them do?

    You know, more than 100,000 people are mostly women and children.

    There are only a small number of men who can fight.

    In the East, they have no right to speak.

    Therefore, if you want to survive well, you can only hold on to a thick thigh.

    ??Here in the East, there is no one with thicker thighs than the Ming Empire.

    Therefore, no matter what, they will become the people of Ming Dynasty, and then they will not have such a headache.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
