The huge compensation listed by the Ming Dynasty is beyond discussion, and Zhu Cilang will never give the Spanish vegetable market a chance to bargain.

He wanted to let the great powers see that the Ming Dynasty could not be provoked casually!

Just like the social atmosphere of the new era in later generations, if you want to act as a gangster and beat someone, you have to touch the money in your pocket first, which can support you to slap a few times!

As for why Zhu Ciyang gave the Spaniards two days to consider, it was because the Ming fleet needed time to replenish supplies, and then used this time to block the entire Manila Bay.

By then, even if the negotiations break down, the Spanish army will not be able to escape!

Once the Ming Dynasty officially declares war on Spain, the Ming fleet will kill six Spanish warships anchored in Manila Bay as soon as possible!

Before the war begins, a high-profile reason is needed. This time, the Ming Dynasty started the war to uphold justice, firmly occupying the moral commanding heights, with reasonableness and integrity.

It is best to get Spanish colonies without bloodshed, but if Spain can't even meet the bottom line, it can only use force reluctantly.

Except for the veterans transferred from the General Administration of the Central Army, most of the soldiers of the Southern Army have never seen blood. At this time, they need a "training ground" and the opponent is better not too strong. Spain is obviously the most suitable enemy.

In the next two days, there was no movement in the Manila Governor's Office, and it was probably all worried.

Zhu Ciyang, regardless of their difficulties, issued an order to close the Ming Dynasty Consulate in Manila. (The Ming Dynasty has not set up an embassy in Spain yet, and the Manila consulate is equivalent to the highest place to conduct diplomatic work with Spain)

The diplomats of Honglu Temple who received the order began to burn documents in the museum, lower the national flag, and dismiss employees.

Finally, they took their families and entourage, pulled their carriage luggage, and under the protection of the consulate guards, they headed to the imperial camp in Fort Santiago.

In the Governor's Mansion, Salkedo looked as if he was dead as if he was ashes when he listened to the old housekeeper's report.

Close the embassy, ​​burn documents, and withdraw back to the country. This means completely breaking off diplomatic relations in the diplomacy of the two countries. The next step is basically war!

But they really can't get these compensations!

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the third day, but just as Zhu Cilang was preparing to declare war, he suddenly received a report that the British East India Company Governor Weidell led a delegation to request an audience.

Almost at the same time, the governors of Asian colonies such as the Netherlands and Portugal had also landed in Manila Bay and moved into the Ming Dynasty shopping mall, requesting an audience with Zhu Cixuan.

It is said that they were invited by the Governor of Manila, Salquedo, to help, and Salquedo also hurried to ask for an audience.

Under the order of the Governor's Office, all Spanish troops in Luzon and the Philippines were concentrated in Manila. In addition to some indigenous soldiers persuaded by the church, there were more than 2,500 Spanish colonial troops, 5,300 indigenous soldiers, and more than 2,000 men and women, and the total force was barely over 10,000.

But their musketeers were less than three thousand and only twenty artillery pieces.

Salquedo knew that judging from the repeated frictions with the Ming army these days, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was not weak, and with tens of thousands of elite soldiers coming to them, the Spanish army's victory rate was minimal if they wanted to win this battle.

Spain has no longer any aid power in Asia. Although Salquedo has sent people to send a letter of help to the Spanish Mexican colony, it will take at least half a year to go there.

Moreover, it is still a matter of whether the Mexican reinforcements can arrive in Manila. After all, their South American colonies are not very stable and need to be maintained by garrisons.

Therefore, Salquedo decided to delay time and exchange for the assistance of the governors of the Eastern colonies such as the Netherlands, Portugal, and Britain.

Zhu Cilang generally won't refuse negotiations, at least he can hear about any new tricks from these kids.

After meeting, the governors of the four countries all bowed to Zhu Cilang with the highest etiquette of the European royal family.

Zhu Cilang sat high on the imperial throne carried from the Ming Dynasty, raised his hand and said, "Directors are exempted from tribute. You come to see me from all the distance. If you have anything, just tell me!"

The four of them looked at each other, and Sarquedo said first: "Dear Emperor, I came for peace."

Zhu Ciyang sneered and said, "Peace? This is the first time I have heard that in the Habsburg dynasty in Spain, there are actually people who pay attention to peace."

"What you do in Amelica, in Mexico, in Peru, in Luzon are all so-called peace?"

Sarquedo was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was so familiar with the colonial history of Spain. He argued: "Your Majesty, what you said has become history, and it is not my turn to be responsible for it..."

"This is clearly because your country has occupied the territory of our Spanish Empire and destroyed the peace in Luzon. This is the current fact."

Oh, the foreigners are starting to blame.

Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "Luzon is actually the territory of Spain. I seem to have heard a huge joke today!"

Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding next to him, shouted: "As early as more than two hundred years ago, the people in power in Luzon were like my Ming Dynasty. You have invaded Luzon for less than a hundred years, and you shamelessly declared that it was Spain's territory. What a joke!"

Sarquedo hurriedly said, "Dear Emperor, Luzon is only a vassal state of your country, not your territory. Of course, we are not here to talk about history. Now we hope to have peace."

Zhu Cilang said lightly: "You should be very clear about the reason why I sent troops to Luzon. My people were excluded overseas, and even unreasonable abuse and massacre occurred!"

"Before this, I have issued an edict to your Governor's Office, reminding you not to take risks. Unfortunately, you used my warning as an empty intimidation, allowing the incident to develop, and even incite it in secret!"

Salkedo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "Dear Your Majesty misunderstood. Our Governor's Office was negligent, but it had absolutely not incited the indigenous people to cause trouble. We are willing to remedy it and restore the peace again. We also hope that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty can give you a chance."

Zhu Cilang waved his hand and immediately escorted some missionaries who had been arrested when quelling the riot.

Needless to say, Salquordo's face was swollen and he was slapped in the face on the spot.

Zhu Cixuan said: "I have always loved peace and do not want to fight each other, so I have proposed the condition for compensation, because you are unwilling to negotiate and blindly fight against my Ming Dynasty!"

Salquedo said with sincerity: "We express our great regret for the people who have died in this turmoil. The Governor's Office will hold a grand funeral to them. The Archbishop of Augustine Church will pray for them in person, so that their souls will ascend to heaven as soon as possible. I hope that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be satisfied..."

These animals don’t cry until they see the coffin. They are still doing show and fooling around!

Zhu Cilang said "satisfied" heavily and said, "Satisfied, I'm so satisfied!"
