Nanyang, Manila.

On the sixth day after the Ming Dynasty's fleet of voyages to the West left the South China Sea, a fleet of six merchant ships sailed into the Manila waters.

Looking at a land line between the sea and the sky in the distance, a middle-aged man in his early forties with curly hair finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He drew a cross on his chest and prayed to God, and finally arrived in Manila safely.

This is the new Spanish Governor to Manila, named Salquedo.

Salquor has always been very yearning for the colonies in the East. There are countless gold here, and obedient slaves are simply a happy kingdom!

Soon, the fleet landed. The current Spanish Governor of Manila, Sabiniano, and many younger brothers from the Governor's Office, welcomed Salquedo. The welcome scene was very grand.

"My old friend, I'm very happy to see him here!"

Sabiniano had met several times with the trusted governor. As soon as he met, he gave the new governor a hug. He was very intimate and did not feel reluctant or depressed about leaving office.

Sabiniano was already an old man in his sixties. He worked as the governor of Manila for more than ten years. During his tenure, he established trade with the Ming Dynasty, allowing Spain to gain a lot of wealth.

For him, leaving office is like marrying a wife, which is the most important thing in his life, and he can finally retire!

In recent years, as the Ming forces continued to infiltrate Luzon Island, even the prince sent two (Zhu Youjian, King of Tang and Zhu Cijiong, King of Ding), Sabi felt increasingly that he was sitting on a crater that could erupt at any time.

The old man was able to work as the governor for more than ten years, and he was also a personal talent. He had already understood the ambition of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. This was to erode Nanyang step by step!

Although he opened up the situation in the Ming Dynasty, gained the power to do business directly with the Ming Dynasty, created a lot of wealth for the Spanish royal family, and won a lot of reputation for himself, these achievements may be gone at any time!

Especially the arrival of the Ming fleet a few days ago,

A few days ago, the arrival of the Ming fleet surprised all the indigenous people on the island and was also welcomed by the local indigenous people.

Some natives who had heard of Zheng He's fleet told stories from their ancestors to the surrounding natives, saying that the Ming fleet was peaceful and those hateful white-skinned pigs would only lead to killing and enslavement!

The Ming fleet caused panic among Spanish colonists such as Sabi. He just wanted to keep this year safely and have some accidents elsewhere during his resignation.

In this way, he can leave Manila calmly, leave a full of achievements, and receive a generous pension, buy a piece of land back to China, marry a few young and beautiful girls, and be a nobleman happily!

Of course, Mr. Sabi has also made a lot of gold over the years, which is a good harvest of both spiritual and material resources.

Although he showed some inexplicable enthusiasm for this strange old guy, trusting Governor Salsarquerdo still responded the same way, and the two hugged each other as enthusiastically as old friends.

Salquedo sighed: "What a relaxing and pleasant trip!"

Sabi smiled and continued: "Congratulations, Your Excellency, you have embarked on this beautiful land and started a new life here!"

"Oh! That's great, I can't wait."

Sarquedo looked into the distance and sighed with joy: "Ah! This is such a beautiful place. I think my life here will definitely be very pleasant!"

Sabi smiled meaningfully and nodded. I really don’t know if this guy can laugh so happily in the next few years!

The entire handover work ended perfectly in just two days. Looking at the reports and list of property, Salquedo's face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

Each of these reports is like wealth. In his eyes, these lists seem to be made of gold!

After handing over all the affairs in Manila, Sabi packed up and prepared to leave, returning to his hometown in Europe.

Before leaving, he met Salquodo for the last time and reminded him earnestly: "Your Excellency, I have to give you a warning. Although this is a place to create a lot of wealth, we also have a terrible enemy!"

Salquedo was in a good mood. He sat on the tall and luxurious governor's chair and shrugged, "Are you referring to the Netherlands?"

His gentleman tasted a sip of wine and then said, "When I left the country, I had received the exact news that the merchant ships of the Netherlands were attacked by British warships, which triggered a conflict between the two fleets in the Strait of Dover. I think they will declare war soon, and the Netherlands will not care about the East."

"No, Your Excellency, the Netherlands has never been a threat to Manila."

Sabi shook his head and pointed to the north and said, "I am talking about the Ming people in the north. They are our greatest danger!"

"Ming people? Aren't they our money tree?" Salkedo said in confusion.

Sabi seemed patient with the new young governor, saying, "Although the Ming Kingdom is our trading partner, this does not mean that they are our friends. Do you know how many Ming people settled on Luzon now?"

Salquedo thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there are 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese people living in Luzon."

"no!"

Sabi smiled, stretched out two fingers and said, "There are at least 200,000 people! Among them, 30,000 troops are divided on the surrounding islands!"

"Why are there so many?"

Salkedo was startled and showed nervousness for the first time.

"In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been conducting large-scale immigration. They have moved all the poor people who have no land in Ming Dynasty overseas. Luzon Island is just one of them. There are their immigrants in Taiwan, Japan, Batavia Island, Annan and other places!"

Sabi sighed helplessly and said, "Since signing the "Five-Country Trade Treaty" with them, the Ming Dynasty has been immigrating abroad, and the number of Chinese people is increasing every year..."

Of course, Salquedo knew what the 200,000 Chinese meant in Luzon. He showed displeasure on his face and said angrily: "This has greatly damaged the interests of the Spanish Empire in the East. Why didn't you stop them over the years? Send an army to teach them a lesson!"

Sabi shook his head in distress and said, "The Emperor of Ming is a very ambitious guy. Over the years, he has led his army to fight and fight, expanding the territory of the Ming Empire several times. He has a powerful army and a huge navy in his hand, and the weapons he uses are no worse than us. Do you think we will have a chance of winning when we use force?"

It was not until this moment that Salctor realized that no wonder this old guy was so excited to leave. It turned out that this guy messed up the place!

Even so, he was not discouraged and hummed, "That's not necessarily! My Spanish Empire is invincible!"

As a hawk member of the Spanish Empire, Salcodo firmly believes that the Spanish Empire's rule in the East is still strong! What can a big empire that has risen again in recent years have the ability?

(The old empire does not refer to the leader empire, but refers to the ancient ancient power with weak and backward strength)

Sabi just smiled and showed a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He seemed to be in the tone of an elder: "Then I can only wish you good luck. Before leaving, I suggest you as an old friend. If you want to take action, you should apply for more garrisons from the country as soon as possible. The strength of your own strength is always more important than talking!"

His words angered the new governor, and Salquor waved his hand and said, "Please don't give it to me!"
