"The envoy asked to see my general late at night. Why?"
The negotiations during the day were relatively deadlocked. It could be said that except for the Spanish priest paying a large sum of living expenses for Yada and Kayal, which improved their living conditions, there was no other result.
Therefore, the delegation stayed at the Liberation Army camp tonight, preparing to continue wrangling tomorrow.
Zhu Hongyu did not expect that someone from the Spanish mission would come to see him in the middle of the night.
The messenger clasped his fists and saluted.
"Wang Lixian, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, pays homage to the general!"
"The students came to visit late at night today because they have something very important to report to the general!"
Zhu Hongyu's expression straightened and he spoke.
"You call yourself a student, are you a scholar?"
Wang Lixian said.
"Reporting to the general, the student is a famous person from Mao, Guangdong."
"In the seventh year of Yongli year, the scholar who was admitted to the examination was awarded the title of scholar. In the seventh year of Yongli period, King Li Jin failed to attack Xinhui and was defeated. When the students saw that there was no hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, they were disheartened and moved their families to Nanyang to join the Nanyang clan.
relative."
Zhu Hongyu raised his eyebrows and then spoke.
"Then why did you come looking for me late at night?"
Wang Lixian said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"The students are here to remind the general not to fall for Hong Mao's trick!"
"Hongmao has no intention of having peace talks with the general. This time he sent people for peace talks to make the general relax his vigilance."
"The mission and the army set out for the mountain at the same time. I don't know where the army is now."
"But General, please be prepared to deal with it as soon as possible to be prepared for Hongmao's surprise attack."
Zhu Hongyu had a stunned expression on his face.
Of course, he was not shocked by the Spaniard's plan, but by the behavior of the person in front of him.
Because he knew that the conflict between the Liberation Army and the Spanish would never end.
In the war with the Spanish, the Liberation Army is currently at a disadvantage. Zhu Hongyu doesn't care much about negotiations.
Can he still count on the Spaniards really coming to negotiate?
Isn’t this nonsense!
What Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that there was such a young man hidden in the mission sent by the Spanish this time!
Ask to see him late at night and tell the whole story of the Spaniards' plan!
Zhu Hongyu was a little doubtful, what was his purpose?
If he were to lead his troops to attack Manila and lay siege to Manila, it would be normal for this situation to occur.
However, it is he who is surrounded in the mountains now!
Despite the uprising, the Liberation Army has never lost against the Spaniards.
But the Liberation Army is indeed unable to break out of the mountains now. It is firmly blocked in the mountains by the Spanish, and its development prospects are worrying!
Under this situation, there are still two or five boys on the Spanish side, which is really magical.
What is his purpose?
Zhu Hongyu asked his question.
"Why did you come to remind me?"
Wang Lixian straightened his clothes and said with a serious face.
"Because I'm Chinese!"
"Because I know that if the Liberation Army is wiped out by the Spaniards, the Spaniards will no longer have any scruples."
"In order to eliminate potential threats to the Spanish colonial rule in Manila, they launched the third massacre of China!"
“I can’t just watch my Chinese compatriots in Manila suffer again!”
"I only hope that the general can lead his people to persevere for a long time until all the Chinese in Manila are evacuated."
He had seen the bastion in Manila. The cannons on the bastion fort made everyone who saw it feel numb.
Wang Lixian sincerely felt that it was unlikely that the Liberation Army would succeed in their uprising and completely defeat the Spanish and capture Manila.
Although he, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, had a good impression of the Liberation Army, he still did not think that the Liberation Army could succeed.
But he knew better that the Liberation Army must not be wiped out by the Spaniards now!
Otherwise, the Chinese living in Manila will suffer again!
The Liberation Army's uprising was like poking the lungs of the Spaniards, clearly telling the Spaniards that the Chinese would also resist.
What the Spaniards will do next, you can only imagine with your buttocks.
The reason why the Spaniards have not massacred China now is because the Liberation Army is still there.
Zhu Hongyu once threatened the Spaniards that if they dared to massacre China, he would massacre the Spaniards in revenge.
But after the Liberation Army was wiped out and the Spanish were no longer a threat.
The Spaniards might not even hesitate before taking action against the Chinese in Manila!
Wang Lixian understood this very well. For the sake of his family and compatriots, he absolutely could not sit back and watch the Liberation Army be wiped out.
Even if his reminder can't change anything, he still has to try!
Even if his reminder to the Liberation Army could only buy the Chinese in Manila one more day to evacuate, Wang Lixian felt it was worth it.
The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face changed. What kind of kid was this guy in front of him?
A true national hero!
Zhu Hongyu had the intention of wooing him, so he pondered for a while and spoke.
"Thank you sir for reminding me. This general is already aware of this matter. I will arrange for people to be on alert and prepare for battle."
"I just don't know, sir, if you are willing to stay, serve under my general, and work together to restore the Ming Dynasty."
"If the Ming Dynasty can be restored in the future, I, the general, will not begrudge the prince's reward!"
Zhu Hongyu is now becoming more and more proficient in drawing cakes, a common skill for entrepreneurs.
Wang Lixian subconsciously refused.
"I have little talent and little knowledge, so I won't delay the great general's great cause!"
He is really not optimistic about the future of the Liberation Army!
Because the Spaniards are so powerful in Manila!
Although the regular army only has three to five thousand men, if young Spanish civilians are urgently recruited to join the army during wartime, it will not be a problem to gather tens of thousands of men.
Coupled with the Pampanga people and other indigenous people who have deep collusion with Spain, the Governor of Manila may be able to bring out 20,000 to 30,000 people by gritting his teeth.
Plus the Spanish fleet, forts, etc. in Manila!
This force is really too powerful!
Zhu Hongyu seemed to understand what Wang Lixian was thinking and said.
"Okay, if that's the case, I won't force you, sir!"
Wang Lixian clasped his fists and was about to leave, when Zhu Hongyu spoke again.
"There is one more thing I need to trouble you sir!"
Wang Lixian said.
"General, please speak!"
Zhu Hongyu smiled and said.
"I will send a special person to contact you sir. If there is any big move by the Spaniards, if it is beyond my ability, sir, please tell me to wait!"
"If the Spaniards make a surprise attack, I won't be unprepared here!"
Zhu Hongyu's intention was very clear, he wanted Wang Lixian to be a spy.
Wang Lixian looked hesitant, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
Zhu Hongyu then spoke.
"The harder the Liberation Army beats the Spaniards, the safer the Chinese in Manila will be!"
"If the Liberation Army is wiped out, how many of the nearly 100,000 Chinese in Manila will survive?"
"But if the Liberation Army can grow bigger, even if it can only develop in the mountains, it will not be able to really threaten the Manila Bastion."
"Do the Spaniards have the guts to massacre China again?"
