Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 602 Your Excellency Governor
In fact, the Spanish expeditionary force led by James only had more than 5000 people, which sounds like a small number, but it was more than enough to deal with the Luzon soldiers and civilians with backward equipment and mainly indigenous people.

The Spanish soldiers on the shore held weapons and watched over the aborigines building the fortifications on the pier. Because of the language barrier, some aborigines were kicked and beaten by the Spanish soldiers from time to time. If they resisted a little, they would only suffer more brutal whippings. Above the pier, there was an extremely miserable scene.

The most annoying thing is that there are many Han Chinese among the captured laborers.

In James' view, as long as you are a resident of Luzon, he can be used as a slave no matter what kind of native or Han you are.

James was not on the shore, because the better houses on the shore were basically destroyed by the war, and for a person of his status, of course he wanted to live in the best house.

For this reason, he has already recruited a designer in Spain to design his residence. Although it cannot be compared with the Spanish royal palace, it must match his identity.

The governor of the Spanish colonies has a lot of power. Take James as an example, he also serves as the commander of the fleet.

At this moment, James was meeting Wang Wenyan on his flagship "Intrepid".

James didn't give up his seat to Wang Wenyan, but he ate the grilled steak with a knife and fork while tasting the wine he brought from his hometown.

Wang Wenyan was very deep in the city. Standing opposite James, there was no trace of displeasure on his face.

It wasn't until James was a little tired from eating that he took a sip from his wine glass, wiped his mouth with a white silk handkerchief, and said, "You are very dishonest! If you also want to be one of those slaves outside, I would God can perfect you at any time"

Wang Wenyan naturally knew why James said that about himself, but he was not panicked, because he had a hole card, which could also be called a chip, a chip that would allow James to stand up and cheer for him.

"Your Excellency, I don't agree with your statement. First of all, I don't know much about the eunuch's fleet, otherwise I wouldn't have failed. In addition, Luzon has always been a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. That is to say, sooner or later you To have this battle with the eunuchs, now that the big battle is imminent, do you think you can avoid it?"

Wang Wenyan's words were soft but hard, and he didn't humble himself just because he wanted something from James.

James stared at Wang Wenyan quietly. He suddenly realized that these orientals were not as weak and deceitful as they had been rumored to be. From this, he deduced that the eunuchs who were about to arrive might not be easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, he forced a smile on his face, made a gesture of please sit down, and said: "In fact, our Spanish Empire is very willing to be friends with Daming. I wonder if Mr. Wang can teach me anything?"

"Our Ming Empire is also willing to make friends all over the world. It's just that the court is now a traitor, and many things are not as beautiful as we imagined. If Your Excellency the Governor can eliminate this group of traitors, I can assure the Governor. From now on, Spain will be the only partner country of Ming Dynasty.”

After hearing Wang Wenyan's words, James looked him up and down again, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, and said: "If the governor guessed correctly, Mr. Wang should have gone into exile overseas! If so, how do you Can you keep your promise?"

"Your Excellency is right. I escaped, but this doesn't mean anything. Now the people of Ming Dynasty are in dire straits, and they urgently need the help of a righteous person like the Governor. It's still the same sentence, as long as the Eunuchs, everyone in the Ming Dynasty will always be grateful for the kindness of the Governor General."

Once a person goes all out to achieve a certain goal, face is no longer an important thing to him.

James was old and cunning, and he had heard that Wang Wenyan hadn't said anything practical for a long time, but just as Wang Wenyan said, the Ming Fleet had already arrived, and this battle was going to be fought no matter what.

So far, the Spanish fleet has criss-crossed the sea, and has hardly encountered any decent opponents, which has given these Spaniards a problem of arrogance and superciliousness.

As for Jack's defeat, it didn't really touch James. In his opinion, Jack was too incompetent. If it was him, he would definitely be able to kill the Ming army fleet.

So although Wang Wenyan didn't say anything substantive, it doesn't matter, as long as there is something to say, the fleet will come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future. I don't believe that these Ming Dynasty people dare to renege on their debts.
In the evening, Jack led the remaining six armed merchant ships back in embarrassment. James had already lay down, but Jack insisted on calling him up.

During the daytime encounter, Jack must report to James immediately, otherwise James is likely to repeat his mistakes.

Seeing James' face, Jack said solemnly: "Your Excellency, we have all been deceived by those Ming people. Not only are there a large number of warships in the Ming army, but the most important thing is that their cannons are extremely powerful in terms of range and speed. , compared with us, they are all worse than us.”

"Snapped!"

Before Jack could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of James slapping the table heavily.

"Enough! Are you making excuses for your incompetence? The Spanish Royal Navy has lost all face, and only half of the twelve main battleships have returned. Do you know what you have done? Are you to be court-martialed.”

Who sleeps well and is not angry when someone wakes up?Moreover, in James' view, the defeat of the invincible Spanish navy to the backward Ming Dynasty is definitely a great shame.

James didn't think about what it meant for Jack to run back to deliver a letter to him at the risk of sailing at night.

Seeing James' distraught look, Jack was also angry, pointing at James and yelling: "I risked hitting the rocks and came back to call the police for you. If you don't thank me, it's fine, and I'm going to be sent to a military court. Are you confused? ?”

James waved his hand at the guards coldly, and said, "Shut up our Captain Jack and calm down first. When I defeat the Ming Dynasty fleet tomorrow, let's see what he has to say."

Jack really didn't know what to say when he met such a leader who was even more stupid than him.

The guards don't care about you, come over and take off the weapon on him first, and then push Jack out.

At this time, Jack didn't know why he went crazy, and suddenly laughed, but James couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing? Do you want to ask me to forgive your crime?"

"I laugh at your stupidity. Didn't you say you want to defeat the Ming Dynasty fleet? Then let's take a closer look and see who deserves the gallows the most"

After Jack finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

After arguing with Jack for a while, James also gradually calmed down. The reason why Jack was arrested was not all out of righteousness, he needed someone to take the blame.

But are Ming warships really that powerful?

For a moment, James couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
