Only Li Mingxun and Ma Donglai were on board the Santa Maria. He was not worried about safety at all. Once fired, the Tiger Shark and the Golden Oak would send forty shells to sink the ship. Under such a powerful firepower threat, no one would make stupid moves.

"I am Li Mingxun. Today I came as the envoy of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to come in order to have an unfortunate event that happened in the winter of the previous year and last spring." Li Mingxun did not politely with Kokuir and directly expressed his purpose.

"It was you Ming people who intend to rebel, and we were forced to fight back..." Koquila said immediately.

Li Mingxun interrupted him and said, "I am a businessman and I have no intention of discussing the justice of that matter with you. Only God knows right and wrong. If we have a different opinion, it will only cause the negotiations to be stalemate, and the soldiers under my command do not have that good patience. So, Koquela, put down his performance and improper arguments, and responsibly solve the problems in front of me."

"You should know that something similar happened once forty years ago. We have successfully avoided a war, and this time it is also OK unless you reject this suggestion." Li Mingxun looked at Koquera and asked seriously.

Koquela nodded slightly. He knew the current situation and style of action of the Ming Dynasty. In his impression, this Eastern country, which was hit by domestic rebellion and the northern Tatars, never focused on the lives and economic interests of the people under his rule, but on the dignity of the country.

"What will that Governor want to solve it?" Coquera asked.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "Imitated by Pan Hewu's affairs, the Ming Dynasty returned home in Luzon, and merchants and ships were in exchange for business and transactions as usual!"

Koquela naturally knew who Pan Hewu was. It happened around 1593. At that time, the Philippine Governor Das wanted to conquer other islands in the Philippines. Because of insufficient manpower, he recruited 250 Chinese as paddlers. Because it was too harsh, Pan Hewu, among the Chinese, launched a mutiny. Sixty-four people, including Governor Das, were killed. Das's son Louis served as interim governor and sent people to Ming Dynasty to ask for the murderer. Because Spain and Japan traded frequently at that time, and Japan was fighting with Ming Dynasty, the two sides used each other. Emperor Wanli agreed to punish the murderer, while Louis agreed to let the governor of Fujian take away the Chinese who were willing to leave in Manila.

At least 3,000 Chinese people were taken away, which was the first evacuation of overseas Chinese in Chinese history.

"Do you want to take all the Ming people away?" Coquera asked.

Lee Myung-hoon focused on it: "Yes, all survivors, including craftsmen in the shipyard and their families

, prisoners in the prison. Survivors in the stream also have slaves sold to plantations in Neihu Province."

"No, this is impossible!" Coquila shouted immediately. In Coquila's opinion, although these Chinese were cunning and difficult to tame, they were indispensable craftsmen and tax sources in Manila.

Li Mingxun had no intention of being angry. He took out two letters from his arms and said, "Don't make decisions so hasty. This is a handwritten letter from the Governor and General Zheng Yiguan. After reading it, you will fully understand."

Koquela took two letters and made the translator read it quickly. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. Governor Shen asked all survivors to evacuate, otherwise maritime merchants in Guangdong and Guangxi would be prohibited from coming to trade. If this letter brought about an economic crisis, Nikola (Zheng Zhilong's name)'s letter was a naked threat. His sharp words were responsible for his massacre of the Chinese and asked himself to cooperate with Shen Youlong's disposal. If there were few mistakes, he would send troops to come.

Koquela knew very well that as the most powerful maritime force in the East, if Zheng Zhilong sent troops, it would not be the gunboats in the port, but tens of thousands of soldiers carried by hundreds of warships. Didn’t the Ming pirate named Lin Afeng do this?

Without waiting for Coquila to answer, Li Mingxun had already stood up and greeted the crew of the armed Garen ship that held the St. Maria not far away. Coquila's eyes were immediately attracted by the two ships next to the St. Maria. This Tiger Shark is an authentic giant ship, larger than the St. Maria, and the other is a Garen-style armed merchant ship, just like the two near the shipyard. Sixty years ago, Coquila's father was defeated by this type of light Garen-style sailing ship in the English Channel, making the Invincible Fleet a laughing stock.

Among the crew members of the local area were Anglo-Saxons with British accents, who were as tall as themselves, and were of the Iberian Peninsula. Although they did not speak, Coquera could easily think of the Portuguese in Macau. After all, among the countries of the Eastern Thais, Portugal had the best relationship with the Ming Empire, and this country that was changing with the wind had betrayed the Spanish Empire. As for the schooners cruising in the bays in the distance, they were no different from the Dutch.

Could it be that the Ming Governor, who was far away in Guangdong, had united the Dutch, British and Portuguese, and the terrifying Zheng Yiguan, the situation he faced would be extremely bleak?

Coquera was hesitating. He didn't want to be the target of public criticism. Spain is not short of enemies around the world, but it definitely doesn't like being beaten up.

"Mr. Li, these ships do not seem to belong to you Mingguo." Koquila asked tentatively.

Li Mingxun smiled and leaned on the side of the side, smiling and said, "Indeed, our Governor Shen has just taken office. He has obtained authorization from the Ming Emperor to re-formulate trade rules and security orders near the China Sea, unite with friendly and obedient people, and eliminate evil and evil people. Governor Shen intends to relax trade restrictions on Thai countries going to the Ming Dynasty. You also know that the British are eager to open up the market in the East, and the Portuguese rely more on the Ming Dynasty. As for the Dutch, they want to get more, so they all express goodwill to the Governor. Moreover, all countries are deeply worried about the massacre in Manila. You must know that in Macau, the Ming people and the Portuguese have always lived in harmony with each other, and in the senior members, the Dutch people want more people to plant sugarcane. You, the noble Governor Coquela, you have a bad head. Many countries are afraid that Governor Shen will misunderstand this is the way of doing things in all countries in Thailand."

The amount of information in this sentence made Koquila unable to digest it for a while. He keenly discovered that Manila had become a stepping stone. All countries wanted to step on themselves to seek the goodwill of the Governor of the Ming Dynasty in order to gain the privilege of entering the internal trade of Ming Dynasty. If they were not dealt with properly, they would be the public enemy of all forces.

If this is the case, this is no longer an expatriate dispute between Spain and the Ming Dynasty, nor is it a simple Manila crisis, but involves Spain's overseas colonial strategy. If you are not careful in your operation, you will be expelled from the East. The result is that the prices of raw silk, spices, gems, silk and porcelain in Spain will soar. Countries that find common interests in the East will also form an alliance against Spain on their own. In the case of an anti-Habsburg alliance, the joining of new forces will worsen the situation.

"Mr. Li, as the first countries to come to the East, although we have had misunderstandings with the Ming Dynasty, we have cooperated more. We have always remembered the friendship and generosity of the Ming Dynasty, and we also hope to cooperate more deeply with the Ming Dynasty. Of course, everything starts with resolving today's misunderstanding." Koquela immediately acted like he was going to negotiate.
