Chapter 1279 Coquila, you think too much
The first batch of guests were welcomed outside the dock in Manila.
Two main Dutch warships slowly sailed into the Manila port under the guidance of a coordinator.
The bow of the ship Cohen took the colonel and looked here quietly.
Although he still knew about Manila's port, it was a little different from before.
In the past, there were not so many people building the port here. Now, the Ming people have just occupied this place and started large-scale construction, which is very interesting.
In fact, the scale of this place is not small, but the Ming Dynasty is still spending time building and expanding, which shows that the Ming people intend to expand this place and use it as a bridgehead to head towards Nanyang.
Sure enough, Cohen's speculation was correct. Since the Ming people had chosen to enter Nanyang, they would not have just one Luzon. The Ming people must have a big appetite, it depends on how strong they have.
Cohen had no surprise at all about Mingren's expansion. Now he just wanted to figure out how strong Mingren is here.
Now that I enter this Manila port, Cohen immediately shocked me.
Because he saw the warships docked on the shore, and there were even too many ships, Manila could not stop, and there were warships on the sea outside that had dropped their anchors.
You should know that Manila's port is not small. It is an important colony of the Spanish, so the Spanish here pays great attention to construction and the scale of the wharf is quite large.
But even so, it would not be able to hold so many Ming ships. The power used by the Ming people this time really made Cohen feel difficult.
The Ming people are too close to this place, which means that the Ming people can send people from their hometowns to the Southeast Asian countries to support. If they are hostile to such forces, then this will be the most uncomfortable thing for the forces in the Southeast Asian countries.
Cohen didn't know how big the Ming Dynasty's appetite was, but Cohen understood that the Ming Dynasty must hope to find an ally.
Although the Ming Dynasty was strong, it was hard to make a single hand. Moreover, when the Ming Dynasty first entered Nanyang, he would definitely hope that someone could explain the situation here to him. This required an ally that could match their power.
Cohen made this idea. He felt that since the Dutch could not stop the Ming people in Nanyang, it would be better to cooperate with the Ming people to occupy the Nanyang place.
This is why Cohen agreed to come to Manila so happily.
He wants to cooperate with Ming people.
He believed that with their Dutch strength, the Ming Dynasty would be happy to cooperate.
In fact, the basis for his judgment was the Ming fleet not long ago. Why did people from other forces not visit the fleet, but the Netherlands could get this honor?
The Ming people were actually showing that they were ready to cooperate with the Dutch, so they took the Dutch letter to meet with His Majesty the King of the Netherlands.
"Governor General, their warships are so big!" The colonel standing next to Cohen suddenly sighed.
He looked at these warships carefully and found that none of them were less than 1,000 tons, and there were more than 2,000 tons of warships. Although such warships had never been fought, they could feel very difficult to mess with from the tonnage.
After all, naval battles are always one inch long and one inch stronger, and the tonnage is combat effectiveness.
The tonnage of this fleet is generally large, so its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.
Zeng Zeng didn't know that the first batch of guests had arrived at this time, and he was talking to the former Governor Coquela in the original Governor's Office.
This was their first conversation. Coquera sat on a chair, and the corner of her mouth was twitching involuntarily for some reason. Moreover, her body was a little inconvenient to move. She would suddenly shake after a while.
It is obvious that this is the sequela of the stroke. Koquela fainted under the city of Manila because the qi and blood attacked the heart, and then he suffered a stroke.
Although it was much better under the treatment of Doctor Daming, the sequelae of the stroke remained.
This is reflected in Coquila's daily actions.
"Although you defeated us, I still have to thank you first." Coquila suddenly said such a strange sentence.
"What is this for? It seems that I shouldn't be thanked by you?" Zeng Zeng asked strangely.
How could I be grateful to the enemy? You know that I was the one who fucked him. Could it be that he had a stroke and got a brain damaged?
"No, no, no, I thank you for not slaughtering the innocent people of our Spanish and giving them a way to survive." Coquera said seriously.
It is really rare to see civilians who can remain unmoved after defeating the other side.
Zeng Zeng shook his head slightly. He was not kind-hearted, and not killing them was to gain the greatest value of interest.
Killing people is just a lie, but keeping them can better build Luzon for me in the Ming Dynasty. He can only say that this governor thought too much.
"You seem to be very relaxed?" Zeng Zeng smiled as he looked at Koquela.
"Because your Ming Dynasty is a civilized country." Koquila smiled relaxedly on her face.
That's right, Koquera felt that since the Ming people did not hurt the civilians, then the governor and others would not be able to do anything.
After all, he was also the governor of Spain in Luzon, and his status was there. Since the Ming people did not kill him on the battlefield and actively treated him, they must have been unprepared to do anything about him.
This is a good thing when you encounter a civilized country. Everyone understands the truth and has their own rules and can communicate.
Otherwise, if you are caught by a barbaric tribe, it would be really sad. The barbaric tribes have no way to talk to each other. They don’t understand any rules and can kill you without hesitation at all.
"Of course our Ming Dynasty is the most civilized, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with you." Zeng Zeng replied.
"Do you know what we are going to do when we invite many forces from Nanyang to Manila this time?" Zeng Zeng decided to give Koquela a small surprise.
"What?" Coquila certainly didn't know.
Zeng Zeng did not answer directly, but first said an idiom to Koquela, called "Kill One to War" and used a short story to tell what the idiom Koquela means.
"You want to punish me!" Koquila immediately understood Zeng Zeng's meaning and screamed.
"Of course, you have killed so many of us. If you don't punish you, how can I continue to be in Southeast Asia? Do you think so?" Zeng Zeng said with a smile.
Koquila understood that she wanted to make the chicken and kill it for many monkeys in Nanyang.
Humble, these wise people are so despicable!
They did not let themselves die, and actively cured his illness in order to make him a chicken!
"Governor Coquila, don't worry, our Ming Dynasty will definitely not use ordinary punishments to you."
"Come on, let me give you some insight into what the cruelest punishment in the Ming Dynasty means. There are 3,600 pieces of Lingchi, which is guaranteed to make you happy for three days."
Zeng Zeng enthusiastically introduced the most solemn punishment to Koquela.
