In the eyes of the envoy, this frankly is not inferior to the big ports in Spain, saying that this is a city managed by pirates?

Do you believe it?
On the street, there are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry. All of them are guards in white or sky blue clothes, standing straight and holding muskets.

What surprised him even more was that there were quite a few people speaking Spanish accents on the street, and they didn't feel scared or discriminated against at all.

He came to Nachu not only to negotiate with Wang Xuan to release the prisoners, but also to secretly observe the specific situation here.

At least, in the short time since he arrived, he was a little shocked by what he saw.

The envoy was not in a hurry to talk to Wang Xuan, but decided to stay here for two days to find out the news. The more he knew, the more confident he would be in negotiating.

There are dozens of large and small hotels in the city, and he found a relatively large one to live in.

In the evening, he decided to go to some relatively large taverns first, where the most well-informed places were on one side.

Looking up at a huge signboard 'Xinghui Nightclub', the courier nodded with satisfaction and walked in.

I ordered a glass of whiskey, sat in the corner and began to taste it slowly. The price of the wine is relatively expensive, at least much more expensive than Spain, but it is not easy to taste such authentic whiskey in the New World!
While drinking, I listened to the conversations of people around me, almost all of which were business matters, routes, prices, etc. After listening for a while, I felt that it was useless, so I called the waiter over, threw a gold coin over and started to inquire about the situation.

The waiter grinned an incomprehensible smile, and he answered whatever the other party asked, almost endlessly, after all, he didn't know how many times he answered these things!
After the messenger nodded in satisfaction, the waiter reported the news as soon as he returned.

In the entire Nazuo Port, all the entertainment venues were opened by Wang Xuan, and all the staff were his people, who also served as investigators outside of work.

It can be said that there is nothing that Wang Xuan doesn't know about in the whole of Hong Kong!

Moreover, according to the content of the different questions asked by the sources, everyone was marked with different levels, and the messenger was undoubtedly the highest level. He asked too many topics about naval battles, warships, and pirates.

The messenger didn't know at all, he was being targeted when he asked for news, and all the news he got was approved by Wang Xuan to leak out!

From this moment on, he was completely watched.

Only one day later, his information was placed on Wang Xuan's desk, and a rough judgment on him came out.

Early in the morning of the third day, there was a knock on the door of the messenger's room, and several guards walked in directly, "Sir, our city lord invites you to go!"

"Your City Lord? Who?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. It must be Wang Xuan. The person in this city who can command the guards and dare to call himself the city lord must be his negotiating partner!

It's just, how did the other party discover him, and he has nothing to pay attention to?

With question marks in his mind, the messenger saw Wang Xuan who was sitting on a wicker chair with Da Ma Jindao.

"Tell me, what are your Spaniards' plans?" Wang Xuan didn't show any politeness to the other party. No matter how much politeness and politeness there is, it will be attributed to the comparison of strength in the end.

"Mr. Wang, may I know, how did you know that I came here on behalf of the Spaniards?"

"In the entire Caribbean Sea, it is impossible to hide all the turmoil from me." Wang Xuan said inscrutably, "Okay, let's talk about business first, and we will talk about greetings and politeness for a while. It's embarrassing when I turn my face for a while."

One sentence from Wang Xuan choked the other party to death. He had experienced many negotiations, and this was the first time he had met someone like Wang Xuan. Before the conversation started, he had already planned to turn his face...

But the more Wang Xuan was like this, the more careful the other party had to deal with it. The purpose of his coming was to negotiate the release of these captives. This matter was not only watched by the high-level Spaniards, but also by the military.

If the captured people don't redeem them, they will lose their hearts. Who would dare to sacrifice their lives for you!

"In fact, I don't have anything I need. These 4000 people are strong laborers. I don't abuse them. The work they do every day has saved me a lot of money. In fact, I would prefer that they continue to work for me for free. go down."

"Spain will not let its soldiers go abroad."

After some haggling, Wang Xuan ended up asking for a large amount of daily necessities.

When the courier went to pick up the people, there were some small problems. Some prisoners were unwilling to return to Spain...they would rather live in Nazu Port!
At that time, joining the army was a last resort. Now it is not difficult to find a job here in Nazuo, and the salary is higher. Why did you go back to Spain to serve as a soldier?
country?

Ha ha……

The patriotic education in Spain is not in place... About 500 people choose to stay in Nazuo!
The good news is that the more than 500 people do not have to pay. The bad news is that the morale of the prisoners is even lower.

After seeing the major general again, the messenger got the accurate information that Wang Xuan's combat strength is not low now.

1 first-tier battleship, 1 second-tier battleship, 7 third-tier battleships, and 23 fourth-tier battleships.

This kind of force is already 1/5 of the main force of the Spanish Wang Xuan Navy's main fleet!

If you want to win the battle, Spain must dispatch greater strength!
This point was brought up at the meeting a month later.

Spain not only needs to maintain the New World, but Africa and Southeast Asia also need a large number of military forces to maintain their status.

After losing the Caribbean sub-fleet, Spain now has only 4/5 of its domestic combat power. If other colonial areas are removed, only 3/5 is left!

If you want to eat Wang Xuan in one bite without too much loss, then you have to send out a force stronger than Wang Xuan, how to mobilize! !
The Spaniards set their sights on the Dutch.

At this time, 40 years after the end of the third Anglo-Dutch war, the trade volume of the British East India Company has surpassed and embezzled the income of the Dutch East India Company to a certain extent.

After the Netherlands won the third Anglo-Dutch war, some of the benefits it gained gradually began to lose, especially the loss of North America hurt the Dutch very much.

The Spaniards felt that they could persuade the Dutch to contain the British and make room for themselves. After all, if they rashly dispatched half of their local troops to raid the Caribbean, it would take at least two months for each return.

How to ensure the safety of his coastal defense and trade routes during these two months has become a prerequisite for a decisive battle with Wang Xuan.

Since this decision was made, the Spaniard and the Dutch started a series of communications.

On the other hand, Wang Xuan is also sending people to contact Portugal and England, the two countries that have the most conflict with Spain.
