In order to recover the decline of huge revenue decline, Perez had to make some concessions to allow the Ming survivors of the Holocaust to return to Manila to live.

A few days before this, because he was afraid that the news would be transmitted back to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would send a fleet to retaliate in anger. Perez sent personnel from the Governor's Office to take his apology letter for the massacre and head to Macau by boat. Then, through the Portuguese, the messenger from the Governor's Office was introduced to the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could obtain the Ming Dynasty's understanding of the incident and urge the civilian trade to return to its original state.

"Governor General, what I want to say is, first of all, please do not need to worry too much about the reaction of the Ming government.

According to my judgment, the Ming Empire will not send a fleet to Manila to retaliate against us. Please refer to the similar events that happened on the land in front of us in 1604.

The number of killing "physiological people" by our army was also very huge, but after the incident, the Ming government, which was still in its heyday, did not send their powerful troops to Manila.

According to the analysis of the situation I have learned, the Ming Empire has just experienced more than ten years of famine and war. Their government finances have probably already had a deficit and are unable to bear large-scale military operations. Moreover, the Ming Empire's naval strength is very weak and is no match for our Spanish navy at all.

The only thing we need to worry about now is Count Zheng of the Ming Empire.

Zheng's maritime power is too strong.

His fleet contained the world's most advanced gunships, and there were tens of thousands of subordinates who obeyed orders. Even the Dutch fleet had been defeated by them. This was an opponent worthy of our respect and fear.

On the sea surface of Southeast Asia, Count Zheng is the overlord here, and the fleet with the flag of Count Zheng’s family makes us the object of friendship.

This is also the reason why we unite the Dutch to attack the Ming Empire.

As long as the Dutch sent their powerful fleet to shock Count Zheng, our army could safely land on the land of the Ming Empire."

After elaborating in detail his views that the Ming Dynasty would not send troops to retaliate, Thiago finally emphasized the powerful force and importance of the Zheng Zhilong family, and clearly expressed the importance of reaching a secret agreement at the Royal City of Manila on the last time the two delegations visited the Ming Dynasty.

During the last time he talked with the Dutch, Governor Perez expressed opposition to the view that the government's special envoy Etro strongly advocated the great benefits of the Ming Dynasty's military use to bring to Spain.

He believed that the Ming Empire was different from the colonies they occupied before. The Ming Empire was the richest and most civilized country in the East. They had very strong military power. If they fought with such a country, it would be fine if they won. Once they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As a representative of the army, Thiago expressed strong support for Etro. In the end, Pereira reluctantly signed his name on behalf of the Governor's Office in Manila on the proposal to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty by submitting the Spanish King's proposal to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Thiago has been in Manila for five years. Because he is very interested in the Ming Dynasty, which is rich in silk and porcelain, he likes to collect all information about the Ming Dynasty and pays special attention to the situation of the Ming army.

Through conversations with many upper-class figures among the Ming immigrants, Thiago learned that this powerful empire, which had been glorious for two hundred years, is now in a state of decline. Although it is still rich, the army is weak, and even the anti-government armed personnel holding wooden sticks as weapons in China cannot defeat it.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty was very similar to their Habsburg dynasty.

Both are overlords who have long ruled the East and the West, but now they can only barely maintain a glamorous surface for various reasons, but in fact they are simply vulnerable.

As a military family, Thiago always has the dream of restoring the former glory of the Habsburg dynasty. If he wants to achieve what he wants and rise again on the European continent, he must have a powerful army.

Rebuilding the army means huge wealth, and the Ming Empire is the best target of robbery, which is rich and without strong military power.

Perez did not show much interest in Thiago's remarks just now.

The main task of the Governor's position is to find ways to maintain the prosperity and stability of the colonies, bring more wealth to Spain from overseas, rather than to launch a war without knowing the final result.

The massacre of Ming immigration incident a few months ago was Thiago, a hawkish army figure.

Although Perez was also a little uneasy about the increasing number of Ming immigrants in Manila, these hardworking and smart yellow people also brought visible prosperity to Manila. Without these Ming immigrants, relying solely on the many naked natives on Luzon Island, there would be no more luxurious and comfortable living environment for the Spaniards now.

Perez certainly knew about the massacre in 1604 that Thiago just mentioned, and he knew the consequences of that incident.

The Holocaust had a fatal impact on the economy of Luzon, especially Manila.

There is a shortage of materials, an economic depression, the government's financial situation has deteriorated seriously, and even needs to borrow money to survive.

The Spanish were worried that the Ming Dynasty merchant ships would no longer arrive, which would affect the distant America.

The greater fear is that they are worried that the Ming government will retaliate.

At that time, the Governor's Office urgently strengthened its combat readiness, but the army's morale was low and the food rations were seriously insufficient.

Almost all Spaniards could only wait in fear, and Manila was shrouded in despair and depression.

The second year after the incident, a group of rich Spanish men who were pessimistic about their future left Manila and moved their families to Mexico.

In the third year, because Manila's wealth sent back to Spain's mainland shrank sharply, the governor who issued the order to massacre was also dismissed and returned to the mainland in shame.

And the current situation is like the scene that happened more than 30 years ago.

As a large number of Ming Dynasty immigrants were jointly massacred by the Spanish army and the Japanese who wandered to Manila, local indigenous people joined forces to massacre, and other Ming people also fled into the mountains or remote villages, in the past few months, Manila, originally bustling and lively, became quiet, and various production activities were almost stagnant. Only a few hundred Japanese used coercive and tempting methods to drive a large number of indigenous people to restore Bali'an, which gave the huge city a little popularity and vitality.

The income of the Governor's Office has been declining sharply. If the current situation continues, he is very likely to be dismissed and deported to the country.
