As soon as Cao Wenzhao was waiting for the smoke to dissipate, in the midst of the collapse of the rubble and the thick smoke, a tall white man slowly walked out while covering his mouth and nose while holding a white flag.
Then, behind him there was a Filipino native, looking cautiously to the left and right.
Liu Wentian was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, is this Francophone going to surrender?"
” Cao Wenzhao is not surprised, these Xiyi ghosts are most afraid of death, to this extent, there is only one way to surrender except death.
"Look what they say."
Cao Wenzhao took a step back and sat down in his chair.
Liu Wentian understood and ordered someone to bring people over and protect Cao Wenzhao's side.
Adava was 'guarded' by the Ming army, and his face tried his best to be calm, but looking at the muzzles of those black holes aimed at him, the corners of his face couldn't help but tense, and his steps slowed down, and he walked far away in the direction of Cao Wenzhao.
The Filipino natives were blank in their eyes, and they followed in a daze, as if they were very unfamiliar with everything around them, and looked left and right from time to time.
After a while, Adava came to Cao Wenzhao and the others and saluted: "Adawa, the servant of Ankaya, the assistant to the Philippine governor, has seen His Excellency the honorable General Daming. ” Naturally, these are all indigenous Filipino translations, and this is a translation.
Liu Wentian frowned when he heard this, the long knife was like electricity, directly on Adawa's neck, and said coldly: "It's just a servant, then kill you and call your master out!"
” Adava screamed, and the translator became even more panicked, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the governor has already run away, and now Miss Ankaya is in charge, and he is Miss Ankaya's most trusted person......"
When Liu Wentian heard this, he turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao, he was just a dismount.
Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly, and said majestically: "Okay, you can say it." ” Adava had seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty clearly, and his heart was uneasy, but he still thought that Ankaya's decision was wise, otherwise they would definitely not survive today.
Adava saluted Cao Wen again, and said, "Your Excellency the General, we are willing to negotiate peace with the Ming State, compensate the Ming State for its military expenses and losses, and apologize for the previous recklessness, and compensate the victims, and ask the Ming State to strike the army......"
Cao Wenzhao's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Luzon is my Ming vassal state, my Ming territory, and it was maliciously occupied by you. ” Adava naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty would not withdraw its troops, it was just a negotiation skill, he looked at Cao Wenzhao and said: "Your Excellency the respected general, we have been here for a long time, and we are willing to pay a considerable price to lease this place, I wonder if you can agree?"
” Cao Wenzhao had been instructed by Zhu Xu before he came, and he wanted to bring the entire South China Sea under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there was no need to negotiate, and he said categorically: "There is no room for negotiation, you either surrender or be exterminated, there is no third way!"
” This is still the negotiation skill, and the last is the purpose of Adava's struggle, the first two are to pave the way for this, he looked difficult, and saluted: "Your Excellency, Honorable General, we are willing to return Luzon to your country, but we want to obtain the right of abode, the right to trade, and the right of jurisdiction......"
Cao Wenzhao snorted coldly and said, "You don't have any rights, you are prisoners, or corpses!"
” Adava frowned, this is what he was looking forward to, a better result, he also expected the Ming State to refuse, and his expression became more and more difficult: "Your Excellency the General, we are here with sincerity, we have also been operating in Luzon for decades, and we have more territories overseas, I believe that the Ming Kingdom also has the goods that are needed, and we are willing to serve you......"
Cao Wenzhao stood up and said with a deep face: "You only have one way to surrender unconditionally, otherwise you will immediately order a strong attack!"
” Adava's brow furrowed, this time it was really wrinkled.
Ming Guo's attitude was resolutely a little excessive, so that he lost any basis for negotiation.
He didn't have any chips in his hand, and now that the Ming army is pressing, in addition to surrendering, there is only death.
However, Adava still struggled and said, "Respect Your Excellency, the price we can pay will definitely make the general's heart move, the general may wish to think about it." ” The Dutch East India Company is similar to a country within a country, with great power, which is different from Spain, but thousands of miles away, there are still many 'subordinates'.
Cao Wenzhao looked at him and said in a fierce tone, "Ben will warn for the last time, if you don't surrender, send troops immediately!"
” Adava's face changed slightly, and he finally saw the determination of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes flickered for a while, and he said, "General, please wait for me for a while, I will discuss with Miss Ankaya before replying." ” Cao Wenzhao calmed his face and said, "This is your last chance!"
"It's better to save trouble.
Adava looked at the Ming Dynasty's strict military appearance, heavy cannons, and brand-new spears, turned around and slowly stepped into the smoke that still did not dissipate.
Cao Wenzhao turned sideways to Liu Wentian and whispered, "You lead people to fence this place, and no one is allowed to run away!"
” "Yes!"
Liu Wentian understood, and hurriedly ordered his troops in response.
Adava returned to the basement in the thick smoke and told Ankaya about the confrontation with Cao Wenzhao just now.
Ankaya was not surprised, sat there silently for a while, and said, "The Ming Kingdom now has the advantage, and it is normal for them to be tough." ” Adava stood beside her and said, "We have no other way but to surrender now, but if we surrender, there will be no room for negotiation." ” There were only two people in the secret room, Ankaya and Adava, she looked at Adava for a while, and then said, "I have a gold and silver mine in my hand, and I didn't tell Acuña. ” Adava's eyes widened, but he didn't speak.
Now the hard currency in the world is silver, of course, there is also gold, but it is still the silver standard, so silver is money, it is everything!
Therefore, the first thing European colonists did when they went to a place was to prospect for minerals and then organize slave mining.
Ankaya has a gold and silver mine in her hands that outsiders don't know about, and it is definitely a powerful bargaining chip!
"Let's go."
Ankaya tucked her hair and prepared to walk outside.
Adava said, "I'll go and order them to give up resistance and let the Ming people enter the city."
"There are still some Spaniards out there, and the Filipinos are hiding in some places and resisting.
Ankaya didn't speak, she had surrendered this time, and there was no difference between disarming first and then disarming.
After Ankaya came out, the first thing he said when he saw Cao Wenzhao was "Ankaya, please invite the general of the Ming Kingdom to enter the city." ” Cao Wenzhao looked at Ankaya, waved his hand, and ordered musketeers and arrows and artillery to enter the city and take over the Spanish royal city, which had been reduced to rubble.
Ankaya was not in a hurry to negotiate with Cao Wenzhao, and was very obedient and was taken away and guarded.
There was Adawa Xuanda's 'surrender order', and there were not many whites left with some Filipino natives, who slowly came out and were absorbed by the Ming army and guarded aside.

The city was basically turned into rubble, and Cao Wenzhao couldn't get in, just stood outside and watched, thinking about how to rebuild it, and at this time, his heart moved, remembering that Yu Anxing was still in the last boat hall and didn't come down.
Yu Anxing is the governor of Luzon ordered by Zhu Xuqin, and in a short time, he will serve as both governor and governor.
"Go and ask Lord Yu to get off the boat, there is basically no threat."
Cao Wen said that there were not a few ships in Manila Bay at all, and they could not threaten their fleet.
"Yes!"
The guards beside him responded.
Cao Wenzhao is not good at this kind of 'post-disaster reconstruction', Yu Anxing was a Fu and a governor before he was built, and this thing should be difficult for him.
"My lord, a merchant leader has come to see you."
There was a soldier who came to report.
Cao Wenzhao turned his head to look, and not far from the soldier's care, a middle-aged man was looking at him expectantly.
These should have been Yu An's things, but now Cao Wenzhao can't ignore them, and said, "Let him come over." ” "Cao Min Ding has one, I have seen General Cao, congratulations to the general on his victory, showing the prestige of our country!"
Ding Youyi came to the front and said with a full courtesy.
He was a middle-aged man, with an elegant color, and although he tried his best to show neither humility nor arrogance, his face was still excited.
Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "No courtesy." ” "Thank you, sir!"
Ding Youyi's voice was still a little trembling, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Cao Wenzhao raised his head and chested up, showing the demeanor of a general of the sea expedition, looked at Ding Youyou and said in a deep voice: "The emperor was furious when he learned that the Francois massacre of our merchants, and ordered the general to lead the army to conquer, and today he will break through the royal city of Manila, and he will definitely wipe out the Francos, don't worry!"
” Ding Youyi was also a survivor under the Spanish butcher's knife before, his eyes were red when he heard this, and he knelt down and kowtowed to the north and said, "The emperor is sage!"
Overseas people, thank God, long live my emperor!
” Cao Wenzhao looked at him and secretly sighed in his heart: "You are also lucky, if you change to another emperor, you will only have to wait for death......
Ding Youyou knelt on the ground for a while before getting up, raised his hand to Cao Wenzhao, and said quite sincerely: "The general is from afar, I don't know if there is any villain who can help?"
In Luzon, there were tens of thousands of merchants and civilians in our dynasty, and the general was in need, although he said it bluntly. ” Naturally, there are too many things that need their help, but right now, Cao Wenzhao said: "You have also seen that the royal city has been bulldozed by the general, and I need a temporary yamen to deal with affairs." ” Ding was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, we have a manor in the east of the royal city, which is used to grow bananas and tobacco, which can be used by the general!"
” Cao Wenzhao nodded and said: "Luzon is my Ming vassal, and now it has been destroyed by the Francois people, the emperor is merciful, and allows the establishment of the Propaganda Department in Luzon, the governor yamen, the governor's yamen management, and the prefectures and counties will also be established one after another, the Luzon people are generally ignorant and not civilized enough, you have been waiting here for many years, you are familiar with this place, and you must take on the responsibility of education......"
Ding Youyou was stunned one by one, and it took a while to vaguely understand Cao Wenzhao's meaning, and he still said worriedly: "General, do you mean that I am going to be an official in Luzon?"
” Ding Youyou is really worried, they have been working overseas all the year round, the reason why they are called 'remnants' is not the people who have lost the country, but the people who have been abandoned, the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the imperial court, local officials, or even ordinary people, even their parents, wives and children all look down on them very much, thinking that they abandon their families and careers, abandon their ancestors, and are unfilial people.
Therefore, Cao Wenzhao's sudden affirmation shocked Ding Youyou.
Cao Wen said: "Well, before leaving, the emperor edicted the entire Ming Dynasty, 'The people are not noble or low, and there is no distinction between inside and outside'."
Although you are overseas, you are also my Ming people, and you cannot look at each other differently. ” Ding You has been looking at Cao Wenzhao straight, his eyes are red, his heart is full of grievances and excitement surging, and suddenly he knelt to the north and the direction of the capital, and shouted loudly: "The grass people Ding Youyou, thank the emperor, in this life, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the emperor, against this oath, the sky thundered, and he could not die well......"
