"Who knows!" The man next to him had a beard, and naturally he didn't know it. He said casually, "I'm exhausted, don't care. Now I just want to relax after getting ashore!"

At first, the man wanted to speak, but heard cheers coming from the boat behind him. When he turned around, his crew members were all on the deck. He was cheering without a human being, and a ghost was not like a ghost.

"God bless us again!"

"After getting ashore, I must hug the Japanese woman. No, no, it's the Ming woman who slept well for a few days!"

"Manila is so prosperous, okay!"

“…”

After hearing this, Beard smiled and said to the people around him: "Captain, look, everyone is eager to relax!"

The captain heard it, but frowned, and ignored the cheers of his subordinates. He turned around and looked at the Manila port in the distance again with a monocular telescope.

After looking for a while, he suddenly said nervously: "John, it's a bit wrong. Why didn't we see the Spanish? Why did you look at us? It seems that they are all Ming people?"

Bearded, or John, said a little disapprovingly: "Those Ming people have only profitable interests, but they are not flocking to it. Captain, you don't know that Ming people are probably the most ethnic group in the world!"

"No, John, come and see!" The captain seemed a little anxious, and reached out and stuffed the monocular telescope into John's hand, and said anxiously: "Look, why are there so many Mingguo warships in the port? Those ships are all military soldiers, and I must have seen this right!"

When John heard this, he was a little disbelief, so he quickly took the monocular lens and started looking.

It’s true that when you see it, you are attracted by the warships with Ming soldiers at first sight. There is no monocular lens, but from a distance, you think it is the sailing ship of your country. After seeing it clearly, you realize that it seems to be the warships of the Ming Dynasty. And at this time, three Ming Dynasty warships have already set sail to meet them.

After a while of closer inspection, a bad idea came to John's mind, put down his monocular lens, looked at the captain and said, "Can... be it... that the Ming Dynasty captured Luzon?"

He felt a little incredible to say this conclusion. Their ships have come to Luzon more than once. As far as they know the behemoth of the East, it seems that they have no interest in overseas countries. How could the Ming Kingdom send troops to capture Luzon?

But if the Ming Dynasty hadn't captured Luzon, why wouldn't there be any trace of the Spanish on the pier? Not only did there be no people, warships, and flags, it would be completely unreasonable!

When the captain reached out to grab the monocular lens and wanted to look again, a crew member suddenly shouted with surprise.

"Look, there is a boat coming over there!"

"Hey, there are also boats here!"

"What does it mean? Is this surrounding us? Don't they know that we are here to give them silver dollars!"

“…”

The captain was shocked and quickly turned his head to look. Sure enough, in a few directions behind him, many ships appeared and were coming towards them. He hurriedly looked with a monocular telescope and was shocked and said, "John, hurry up, ring the bell, the enemy attack, the enemy attack!"

"All of them are Ming warships?" John asked with a bitter look on his face and looked at the captain.

Seeing that he was still standing here, the captain couldn't help but be anxious. He immediately put down his monocular lens and shouted: "Nonsense, why don't you go ring the bell!"

John still didn't move, and said with a very ugly expression: "Captain, do you think we can beat them or escape? Now our two ships are in urgent need of docking and repair!"

After hearing what he said, the captain collapsed suddenly. He understood that John was right. He took these two ships from Mexico and crossed the Pacific Ocean to Luzon. He was exhausted. How could he fight with his superior enemies again, let alone be surrounded now.

Thinking of this, the captain became a little desperate. However, his face changed soon and he said loudly with some reluctance: "Hurry up, throw all the silver dollars into the sea, and don't give Ming a silver dollar!"

After he finished speaking, he was going to run off the bow of the boat to do this.

When John heard this, he was shocked and hugged the captain in his waist and said, "Captain, are you crazy? We must not be able to escape. Mingren knew that we did this and were angry and embarrassed. Are we still alive!"

At this time, although the alarm bell was not sounded, the ship surrounded by Ming Kingdom was already close. The originally happy crew members on the ship almost saw the situation clearly with their naked eyes. Suddenly, they were all panicked. Being surrounded by Ming Kingdom warships like this is definitely not a good thing!

The captain originally had the courage to do this, but after John said this, the courage was suddenly extinguished. He couldn't do it, and he would use his life to bet on the Ming people without being angry. He also cherished his life. Who would have thought of dying in a foreign land like this?

In this way, after a while, the Ming warships slowly approached from all directions, and the expressions of the Ming soldiers standing on the Ming deck could be seen with their naked eyes. They dared not express hostility here, and they did not dare to extend their cannons or anything else. Everyone was gathering on the deck with their hands in a regular manner. Especially in John's hand, he was holding a white flag that he had found from somewhere, climbing on the flagpole and waving.

Soon, a Ming army warship leaned over, while other Ming army warships remained vigilant.

After a long time, the situation was reported to the Ming army's flagship, which was Zheng Zhilong: "Master, these two sailing ships are indeed from the Spanish. Both ships are full of silver dollars..."

The Spanish plundered and mined silver from Mexico, cast it into silver dollars, and then came to Manila to trade, then transported the goods back to Mexico, and then sold them to Europe. This was also the main source of the large inflow of silver in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history.

However, after the rise of the Netherlands and the British, especially after the defeat of Spain's Invincible Armada, Spain ordered Mexico to transport the silver dollars directly back to Europe to rescue the emergency. Luzon is no longer like before, going back and forth to the Pacific Ocean once a year.

The Spanish in Mexico naturally didn't know about Luzon's capture by the Ming Dynasty. The fleet crossed the Pacific Ocean and came to Luzon, and it was so desperate that it hit the arms of the Ming army and sent two ships of Mexican silver dollars.

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard the report. This was really a wealth that fell from the sky. However, he had never thought of embezzling it, so he hurriedly said to Liu Jinsheng beside him: "Report to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty be happy!"

I really got a lot of wealth for nothing, and no matter who it is, I will definitely be very happy. Of course, the Spanish are naturally exceptions.

Emperor Chongzhen happened to be in the chat group and heard Liu Jinsheng's report, he was naturally very happy. Spain's treasure ships were still famous. However, the most wealth was the fleet transported from America to Europe. Originally, a very famous time in history seemed to be England and the Netherlands united to rob Spain's treasure ship fleet. However, this time on the Ming Dynasty was delivered by the Spanish themselves.

Emperor Chongzhen was happy for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and his eyes turned to North and South America.

In fact, he had already begun to plan for North and South America. He had traveled through time since later generations, and if he had the ability, it would be strange if he could let North and South America go. However, Nanyang and Japan have not yet done it, so he has never mentioned the matters in North and South America to the open. But in secret, he is also doing work.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen sent the Jinyiwei to secretly investigate the Spanish's Pacific route. He knew that the Spanish sold many Ming people as slaves to North and South America. At this time, there were already many Ming people in Mexico.

However, North and South America are too far away. If we turn around, it would not be so easy! But now, since the Spaniards hit the gun, they have to do something, right?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it carefully for a while, he had an idea in his mind and immediately replied to Liu Jinsheng: "Order Zheng Zhilong to present all the seizures so that all the Ming people in Luzon can see the two ships of silver dollars!"

"Your Majesty means..." Liu Jinsheng was a little excited, not knowing how to describe it, and finally confirmed casually, "Show all the silver dollars out and blind them?"

When I was a pirate, I sometimes came back from robbing, and I did this. The purpose was to boost morale and make the pirates I saw more proactive next time I went to rob.

"Yes, it is to let everyone see that there are gold and silver mountains in Mexico." Emperor Chongzhen immediately confirmed, "It is best to promote the wealth of Mexico. In addition, after staying in Luzon for a few days, even the people brought silver dollars back to the Governor's Office of Fuzhou. Remember, if there are large ports along the way, you have to stay and promote them. Do you understand?"

After hearing what the emperor said, a thought flashed through Liu Jinsheng's mind, "Why would the emperor want someone to steal Mexico?" Although he was not sure, he felt that this approach was really similar to the way he used to be a pirate.

After quitting the chat group, he conveyed the emperor's will to Zheng Zhilong. When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he became sensitive immediately.

In the past, he was also a pirate. He also knew this kind of stimulation method. However, Mexico was too far away and the Ming Dynasty was so prosperous. If it were him, he would not think he would be moved.

Although Zheng Zhilong was thinking so, the emperor had already issued the emperor's will, so he did as he did.

So, a sensational scene occurred in the Manila port.

"Look, the imperial navy captured two ships, and it was obvious that they were from Western barbarians. Let's go and see!"

"Not necessarily, we have sailboats, aren't we the imperial navy?"

"You are stupid. How could these two broken ships be from the imperial navy? Besides, you haven't seen the situation when the imperial navy surrounded and captured it just now?"

"It seems that there are really Western Japanese. Go and see it!"

“…”

The Ming people in Luzon had a special feeling for the Western Barbarians. They were once high and were eventually trampled under their feet. Because of the massacre, this hatred for the Western Barbarians could not be forgotten in the short term.

At this port, there are many merchant ships coming to Luzon for trading, and merchants from the mainland also watched. As a result, more and more Ming people gathered here.

Fortunately, the port was originally a place where heavy troops were guarded, and there was no shortage of military soldiers. With the military soldiers to maintain order, there was no chaos.

When the two sailboats were taken to the port to dock, and when the Spaniards were taken off the ship, the crowd of onlookers became sensation again.

"I'll go, this Western Yi hasn't taken a bath for many years! It smells three miles in the wind, and I'm so suffocating!"

"It must have been floating on the sea for a long time, where did it come from?"

"You don't understand this. The Western Yi is really smelly. Otherwise, what if it is the Western Yi! Do you know why the Western Yi likes spices? Do you know that they are born with odor?"

"These Western Barbarians have been bearded and slags on the sea for a long time! But the Western Barbarians' stinking is also a fact!"

“…”

The Ming people watching couldn't help but scatter a little, and some even covered their mouths and noses and pointed at them. They had no good feelings for the Western Yi, but now this situation does not leave any more verbal virtues.

John was taken off the boat and gathered at the dock. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was still frightened. His anxiety about the future made them dare not resist at all, and they said whatever they said.

It was not until the silver dollars on the ship were moved down in boxes and placed on the dock not far ahead of them that they were a little disturbed, but when the Ming army pointed their swords and guns, they became honest.

"What is this box?" The onlookers were curious and began to speculate.

Suddenly, two soldiers carrying the box seemed to be careful and did not cooperate well. The box fell over and suddenly, with a "slam" and the things inside poured out and rolled all over the ground. Under the sun, the sunlight reflected, which really blinded the eyes of the onlookers.

"Wow, what's this? It's not all silver, right?"

"No, this is not money, what is it!"

"Wow, I understand, I understand, this is the Spaniard's treasure ship, it is filled with these silver dollars, all of which are silver!"

“…”

Rubbing his eyes, he quickly asked what he knew. Most of the people who knew were Ming people who had stayed in Luzon. They exchanged them after saving money. They came from this kind of silver dollar, and they also knew that they came from Mexico. They immediately said it whether they showed their knowledge or not.

Listening to the introduction, I saw the soldiers still carrying boxes and boxes, and I didn’t know how many of them were. The scene in front of me really shocked these onlookers. Especially the visual impact of silver dollars all over the ground, how many times can I have in my life?

While watching the people's eyes blindly, the news spread and there were more people watching. No, there were more and more people blocking the dock.

In the distance, there was a man who looked like an official. After knowing the situation, he went to Manila like crazy, and he didn't know what he was going to do?
