Chapter 29 Negotiations
Therefore, the formation used by the Restoration Army of the Ming Dynasty is almost the same as the Spanish large phalanx used by the Spaniards.

Coupled with the line infantry tactics, there is already a shadow of the Spanish phalanx.

So the arrays on both sides look pretty much the same!
That's why the Spanish captain said that the Ming Restoration Army was imitating their Spanish phalanx.

It's not very similar to the imitation!

Oscar agreed to the Spanish army captain's request.

Except for those valuable Chinese cannon-casting craftsmen, the remaining Chinese were driven to the front by the Spaniards.

Threatened by the black muzzles of the Spaniards, these poor Chinese screamed and howled as they staggered towards the formation of the Ming Restoration Army.

As long as the Spaniards are a little slower and follow closely behind these Chinese, they will mercilessly pierce the Chinese in front of them with their spears.

"what……"

"Don't kill me! I work!"

"No, no, no!"

"Woooooooo..."

"..."

The screams and wails continued to sound like hell on earth.

The soldiers of Daming Restoration looked at the scene in front of their eyes, all of them looked extremely ugly, and there was even a trace of commotion in the formation.

Seeing their compatriots being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, everyone clenched their weapons tightly and their faces were determined.

Standing in the array, Zhu Hongyu said loudly.

"Did you see it? Did you see it all?"

"That's our compatriots. They were unarmed and slaughtered by the Spaniards like livestock!"

"If we lose the battle, we will end up like that!"

"Daming Restoration Army, fight to the end!!!"

Zhu Hongyu shouted loudly.

The people around him responded in unison.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"..."

The cries of the death battle resounded through the air, and Capello and Oscar could hear them clearly.

Zhu Hongyu shouted loudly when he saw that the morale of the recovery army had recovered.

"Sacrificial flag!"

Everyone around shouted in unison.

"Sacrificial flag!"

Amid the shouts like a tsunami, Yada and the other three prisoners of war were dragged out.

The three were pushed to kneel on the ground, and three soldiers of the Restoration Army stood behind them holding a big knife, and they had already raised the big knife, ready to cut it down at any time.

Zhu Hongyu signaled the people around him to shout along with him.

"If you drive my compatriots to the front of the battle, I will kill your heirs to sacrifice the flag!"

"If you drive my compatriots to the front of the battle, I will kill your heirs to sacrifice the flag!"

"If you drive my compatriots to the front of the battle, I will kill your heirs to sacrifice the flag!"

"..."

Capello on the opposite side heard the bursts of calls, and his expression changed instantly.

He looked intently, and sure enough, he saw his son being escorted and kneeling in front of the rebel formation.

Behind his son, stood a fierce soldier of the Restoration Army holding a big knife.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army had already raised their swords, ready to chop off his son's neck at any time.

At this moment, Capello was scared!

I was afraid to see the scene where my son's head fell to the ground!
Capello grabbed Oscar beside him and roared at the top of his voice.

"Mr. Oscar, please order the lads to release those Chinese pigs!"

"Don't continue to drive them ahead. The rebels have captured my son. If we drive the Chinese as cannon fodder, they will kill my son!"

Oscar said with an ugly face.

"Mr. Capello, we are on the battlefield now, the noble Spaniards do not accept threats!"

Capello said with a livid face.

"Mr. Oscar, I don't care about this!"

"Yada is my only son, the only nephew of Oliver, and the only nephew of Colonel Robin!"

"If he is killed, I don't think you will have a good time!"

Seeing this, Oscar could only nod his head and said.

"Okay, I think we can send someone to talk to the rebels!"

"Talk about the hostage exchange!"

He ordered the Spanish phalanx to stop advancing and sent men to gather the Chinese who had been driven into battle.

Then another envoy was sent, holding a white flag high, towards the formation of the Da Ming Restoration Army, preparing to negotiate with the Restoration Army and exchange hostages.

Zhu Hongyu did not refuse, and sent Li Guangyuan to contact the other party on his behalf.

The reason why he ordered people to shout that sentence, instead of cutting off the heads of Yada and the other three to sacrifice the flag, was because of this idea.

The Chinese population now living in Manila is at most [-] to [-].

And when he wants to recover Daming in the future, population is the most important resource, and everything is possible only when there are people.

But as the old saying goes, people who are not of our race must have different hearts.

Zhu Hongyu's understanding of this sentence is that foreigners can use it, but they can't believe it!
That is to say, in the future, only the Chinese can be truly regarded as one of Zhu Hongyu's own people.

These [-] to [-] Chinese in Manila are Zhu Hongyu's future base!

For Zhu Hongyu, every Chinese is the most precious wealth, especially those young and strong Chinese who can serve as soldiers.

If three prisoners of war could be exchanged for two or three hundred young Chinese, Zhu Hongyu felt that the deal was worthwhile.

……

Li Guangyuan strode to the front of the formation. Although he was not well dressed, he looked very confident.

Li Guangyuan spoke to the messenger sent by the opposite side.

"We ask you to immediately stop your despicable actions and stop driving unarmed civilians into battle."

"War is a matter between soldiers and should not involve civilians!"

The Spanish messenger spoke.

"No, those Chinese are the property of the Scorch family. The Scorch family has the final say on how to deal with and use those Chinese."

"Even if the Scorch family drives them away as cannon fodder, you have no right to interfere, because that is the freedom of the Scorch family."

Li Guangyuan nodded and said.

"Very well, since this is the case, how to deal with prisoners of war is also our freedom!"

"Come here, behead those three prisoners of war and sacrifice the flag!"

When Li Guangyuan spoke, the soldiers of the Liberation Army in front of the formation all raised their swords the next moment, ready to chop off the necks of the three of Yada.

Spanish messenger: "..."

Good guy, are you so decisive?

Li Guangyuan's current behavior is roughly equivalent to two people playing cards, and the opponent has a pair of threes, and he directly beats the king!

What about negotiations?

Isn't it normal for everyone to argue with each other and test the bottom line?Why did you just flip the table over?
The Spaniard's envoy's complexion changed, and he said submissively.

"This honorable gentleman, please don't be impulsive!"

"Since we can negotiate before the battle, it means that both of us have needs. Since we have needs, we can talk!"

Li Guangyuan said with a sneer.

"Everyone has what they need?"

"Which family has what it needs?"

"Isn't this negotiation a unilateral request from you Spaniards?"

"Why, you don't think that we really care about the life and death of those so-called compatriots who have never met before?"

"So what if all those so-called compatriots die? Is there any damage to us?"

"It's you, hehe, the young master of the Scorch family is in our hands. You want to take him back. Isn't that what you want?"
