Daming pirates

However, it is not easy to establish contact with Sea Wolf and send people to negotiate peace with them. Since the Battle of Jilong Bay, Sea Wolf’s merchant ships have stopped trading activities in Manila. They cannot send people to negotiate with them.

Take a boat and take the initiative to find the sea wolf. If you are not careful, you will be beaten by a meat bun and a dog, and you will never come back.

Just when they were at a loss to solve the problem, a Chinese merchant ship brought them new news, that is, Sea Wolf asked them to send a message to Governor Shirwa, releasing a trace of goodwill for reconciliation.

Shi Erwa immediately seized this opportunity and immediately discussed with the council members to quickly go to Nanri Island to negotiate with Sea Wolf, so he elected Blanco as his plenipotentiary representative and immediately took the

The ship went to Nanri Island to negotiate with Sea Wolf.

"Very good! Mr. Blanco, welcome to my Nanri Island. I have been waiting for news from you recently, and now you are finally here. Please sit down!" Yu Xiaotian looked at the Spanish envoy.

, then showed a smile, stood up and said to him.

Blanco was surprised by the figure of the leader of the Sea Wolf in front of him. This Yu Xiaotian was much younger than he thought. He originally thought that this Yu Xiaotian was at least a middle-aged man if not an old man, but

When they met, they found that Mr. Yu was actually not very old. He looked like he was not even thirty years old.

Moreover, his stature is not as short and wretched as that of ordinary Chinese people. Even in Europe, his height can definitely be called tall, and he is also very strong. Although the weather has cooled down now,

But he only wore a short-sleeved shirt, and the shape of the clothes was different from the clothes commonly worn by Chinese people. It seemed to have some characteristics of European clothes. It was very simple, but it looked very energetic.

From his exposed arms, you can see that his arms are thick and strong, and his muscles seem to contain endless strength. Moreover, his figure does not appear clumsy, and he looks quite agile. It was the first time we met.

Blanco immediately felt an aura of threat when he saw him, this man was like a cheetah.

Yu Xiaotian was already used to the surprise of people who saw him for the first time, so he didn't take it seriously. He stood up and walked to the chair, waved people to serve tea, and invited Blanco to sit down and talk.

Blanco quickly thanked him and sat on the chair he was sitting on. Blanco had already arrived in Manila when he was very young and has been living in Manila. There are many Chinese immigrants in Manila who open farms and orchards there.

Grow food and open some small workshops.

Blanco often interacted with some Chinese people and learned to speak fluent Chinese, but his accent was a bit strange and stiff, and also had some accents from southern Fujian. He could communicate directly with Yu Xiaotian, which was also Shi

And the reason why Wa chose him as a special envoy to negotiate with Sea Wolf.

After some pleasantries, Blanco followed Chinese custom and gave Yu Xiaotian a meeting gift. The gift he brought was five Western-style swords carefully crafted by Spanish craftsmen, called knives.

Okay, there are also two handguns, which are matchlock pistols, and of course there are some souvenirs from the Philippines.

Yu Xiaotian likes these swords made by Spanish craftsmen very much. These swords should be made of Damascus steel. The swords have unique patterns, including the edge, and the patterns can be clearly seen. It is very

Sharp and beautiful.

The handle of the sword is made of brass, which is also covered with gold, and is inlaid with precious stones. It looks like a fine product at first glance, and it is expensive. If placed in the future, each of these swords will be worth a lot of money.

It is far more refined than the few Western-style waist knives he currently collects.

As for other things, such as matchlock pistols, he didn't pay attention at all. He had now changed to a double-shot flintlock rifle pistol, which was much better than this kind of matchlock pistol.

But he still expressed his gratitude and accepted the gift from Blanco.

Blanco was finally a little relieved now. This pirate leader was much more gentle than he thought. He did not want to be a violent, rude and murderous person, and he did not boss him around. He gave him a seat very equally, so that he could

We sat down to talk and happily accepted the gifts he brought.

This seemed to be a good sign for Blanco, and he thought that things might be easier to talk about.

So Blanco explained the purpose of his visit to Xiaotian, saying that the conflict between the two parties at Jilong Bay was a misunderstanding, and put all the responsibility on Anthony, who had been arrested and was just waiting to be hanged.

, saying that everything was done by Anthony without authorization, which caused misunderstandings and conflicts between the two parties.

Moreover, Blanco proposed that he wanted Sea Wolf to lift the blockade on Chinese merchants going to Manila and continue to trade with the Spaniards in the future. At the same time, he also asked Yu Xiaotian about the whereabouts of the soldiers who were abandoned by Anthony on Taiwan Island.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian laughed and said to Blanco: "Mr. Blanco, you are really unfair to Commander Anthony by saying this!

Don't explain your specific responsibilities to me anymore. I have already learned the details from the people who captured you. This matter is not a misunderstanding.

The key is that you don't know the strength of my Sea Wolf, you just want to steal Jilong Bay from my hands. This is the main reason for the conflict between us.

To be fair, Commander Anthony only faithfully carried out the orders of Governor Schwarva!

You only offered Anthony a price of 20,000 taels of silver, and you wanted to buy the huge Jilong Bay from me. In fact, it should be said that it is all the land in Taipei.

You think this price is too cheap. Taiwan Island has been our territory since ancient times. You only want to buy this place for 20,000 taels of silver. You are simply looking down on us Chinese people.

!

What's more, my investment in running Jilongwan is so large that it can't be measured by tens of thousands of taels of silver. Mr. Anthony must have told you this after he returned.

According to the instructions of Governor Shirwa, if the deal cannot be reached, we will be expelled from Jilong Bay by force. Am I wrong about this?

This matter is not a misunderstanding at all, but that you have deliberately prepared to use force against us. Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough for you to bring one or two ships? Why did you let Antony bring so many warships?

Where should I go to Jilongwan?

And after my people rejected the conditions you proposed, you brazenly fired artillery bombardments at my forts and sent people on land to try to hunt down my soldiers.

So the responsibility for this matter does not lie with Anthony, but with you and Governor Shirva! I don’t know if I am right? Mr. Blanco!”

After hearing what Yu Xiaotian said, Blanco was deeply surprised by Yu Xiaotian's quick thinking. At the same time, he was also a little speechless and could not continue to shirk his reasoning.

"This..., this is indeed a misunderstanding. Our cooperation with you has always been very pleasant. It was only on this matter that we had a misunderstanding, which led to a conflict. Regarding this matter, our Governor

Sir, please ask me to apologize to the leader! I hope we won’t hurt our friendship because of this incident!" Blanco said awkwardly.

"I don't want things to get to this point. I know very well how you Spaniards treat us Chinese!

Through this incident, I hope you will stop looking down on us Chinese in the future. We Chinese are not as easily bullied as you think!" Yu Xiaotian said coldly.

"Of course, of course! Of course!" Blanco said quickly, sweating on his forehead.

In fact, before coming to Nanri Island, Blanco had already inquired about the conflict between them and Sea Wolf through the Chinese businessmen and boatmen on the ship. He had already learned that in this battle, Sea Wolf captured

He captured two of their large ships and also captured many of their personnel, but he was not sure of the specific number.

So Blanco then proposed that he would like to ask Yu Xiaotian to return the Spanish ships and prisoners he captured to them.

"This is impossible! When you fought with the enemy in the past, was it possible that the ships of the other party that you captured were returned to the other party? I remember that when your Armada was defeated by the British, it was also captured by the British.

You have so few warships. Did the British return these ships to you later?

So as the spoils of war, this request you made is completely unreasonable. Please forgive me for not agreeing. These two ships are indeed in my hands. Now they have been repaired by me and incorporated into my fleet.

Regardless of whether you are willing or not, I will never return these two ships to you!" Yu Xiaotian shook his head and immediately categorically rejected his request to return the ships.

After Blanco heard this, he also expected such a result. These pirates finally captured two of their ships. According to what Anthony said when he returned, although the Spaniards returned with a huge defeat in this battle, during the naval battle, they

Or destroyed many pirates' Kron ships.

Although Sea Wolf won the victory, the price paid would certainly not be low, and the losses would certainly be considerable. Now that they have captured their two large plywood boats, how can they easily return them to them?

Since there is no room to talk about the ship, the next thing is to talk about the issue of people. The Spanish troops stationed in the Philippines are not large, and they lost so many people this time, so when Blanco came, Schierva

Let Blanco and Sea Wolf discuss it specifically, and it would be best to return the Spanish sailors and soldiers captured in their hands to them.

(The second update is here! Monthly pass, monthly pass, I want a monthly pass! If not, I can give you a reward! Haha!)
