Chapter 328 Capture of Dagupan

Time passes day by day.

Zheng Zhibao and others went to more and more places.

Within a dozen days, they traveled to places with a large population in the surrounding plains. While spreading the news of reduced food production, they also recruited soldiers and accumulated strength.

Their propaganda, no one believed it at the beginning, and then there were a lot of people who responded.

The reason is simple, with the passage of time, it is time for the rice to mature.But there were not many grains in the ears of rice, and the people panicked!Their grain is simply not enough to sustain them through the maturity of the third season of this year's rice.

With the virtue of red-haired ghosts, they will definitely not care about their life or death.What's more, the instigator of all this is the red-haired ghost.

Since you can't survive, you might as well follow the rebel army directly to rebel.

Maybe the king's blood can really drive away the red-haired ghosts, restore the glory of the Luzon Dynasty, and let the common people live a better life.

More and more people asked to join the rebel army, but under Conley's repeated strict control, the old and the weak were all rejected.But in this way, their team has grown to 4000 people.

At this time, their target was Dagupan ten miles away.Dagupan is about 200 miles away from Manila in a straight line. It is located in a bay similar to Manila Bay, but the opening is larger and the direction is different.

Zheng Zhibao asked to come to this place, and it is not the closest to Taiwan.But it is the best location.Because Dagupan and Manila are separated by a large plain, as long as Dagupan is occupied, they can go directly south and capture Manila.

And the purpose of Zheng Zhibao's trip is to capture this place, and use it as the front station for Zheng Zhilong's landing in the future.

There are not many defenders here, only three or four hundred Spanish regular troops and more than 1000 puppet troops.

At this time, Conley was asking Zheng Zhibao how to attack.

"This city is not big, and there are not many defenders. Instead, I will ask my men to throw some grenades, and General Lu's men to fire a few more shots. You can just let your men charge directly. There is nothing to discuss."

"it is good!"

Since there was nothing to discuss, the army marched straight in the direction of Dagupan.

Half an hour later, they came to about a mile outside Dagupan City.After Kangli gave an order, thousands of people marched towards Dagupan mighty and mightily.

Zheng Zhibao also ordered his men to rush up, but it turned out that it might not even be necessary to throw grenades, and as for mortars, it was even more unnecessary.Because there are no defenders in the city at all.

As early as yesterday, after the people in the city learned of their direction of travel, the regular Spanish soldiers fled by boat, and the native soldiers fled wherever they should go. They had no intention of resisting at all. After all, no one wanted to die.

Zheng Zhibao, Kang Li and others stationed in Dagupan.

After Conley ordered not to harass the people in the city, and killed a few troublemakers, his prestige suddenly increased.The common people are not so afraid of them, after all, even if they are rebels, they are at least stronger than the vicious red-haired ghosts.

But even so, the whole of Dagupan is still shrouded in a sad atmosphere.Because the harvest season has come.

Everyone found that these uprising guys were right.

Originally, they had fantasies that the high-yield rice not only did not usher in a bumper harvest, but instead dropped significantly.The yield per mu with fertile soil is around [-] jin, less than a few dozen jin, and some yields are almost negligible.

No one knew what to do, and the people began to point the finger at the red-haired ghost who forced them to sow seeds.

At this time, the seeds they planted along the way began to work, and the news continued to ferment, spreading more and more widely, and spreading more and more outrageous.

With Conley, the leader, in the lead, the ranks of rebels are also increasing.Although the number of people is not large and the scale is not large, the impact is extremely bad.

Luzon is in chaos.

And as the most powerful person in Luzon at this time, Olaza is already in a state of desperation!

He has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.He really couldn't figure out why the output of grain seeds, which yielded eight or nine hundred catties per mu a few months ago, plummeted to more than 100 catties!

To explain that there is a problem with people's seeds, but the last season was actually planted with high yields. If there is no problem, who's seeds will drop precipitously in the second season after planting one season?
He faintly felt that this matter was very strange, but he just couldn't figure out what was going on.

Then he learned that rebels had begun to appear in many places, and the natives could not survive and rebelled.

One Conley was enough for him to have a headache, and he didn't expect many others to appear all at once.After thinking about it for two days, he finally decided to use the most stupid way to buy grain from other neighboring countries.First appease these indigenous people, and then continue to suppress the disobedient rebels.With a two-pronged approach, this Luzon can still settle down.

Now that Luzon is also short of food, Zheng Zhilong is too busy to work, and his wishful thinking is about to fail.

It may be impossible to buy food from myself.

Huh?
Thinking of this, Olaza was shocked.

No way?
Could he, Zheng Zhilong, have expected this day to come?
Eloy may have already arrived in Taiwan. If he signed a contract to buy food and he couldn't get the food, Zheng Zhilong would spare himself?Or did he know that he couldn't afford it at all, and deliberately found such an excuse to find fault in order to obtain greater benefits?
So what does he want?
Olaza was lost in thought.

After a while, he suddenly stood up.He took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter quickly, and called the servant after sealing it.

"Immediately send a ship to sea, send this letter back to Mexico City, and present it to His Majesty the King!"

After finishing all this, he slumped on the chair.

I hope I think about it too much.

And thousands of miles away in Taiwan, Eloy saw Zheng Zhilong again.

"Eloi, why did you come back so soon?"

"Zheng Bing, after I went back, I told the governor about your request. The governor was very happy and said that Zheng Zongbing was as righteous as the rumors said! He decided to agree to your request! As long as you can send someone to Let the rebels tell us that 500 million mu of grain will be sold to Zongbing Zheng!" Eloy said with a smile.

"Okay! It seems that Olaza is also a cheerful person. I must have really misunderstood before. Come on, since you are here, let's sign the deed first, and I will pay a part of the deposit! You can take it back by boat!"

"The deed can be signed, but this deposit is appropriate?"

"It's okay, I'll give you 20 taels first. Since Olaza is straightforward, I definitely can't ink it! Come on, Brother Eloy, I have drawn up the contract. Take a look. If there is no problem, I will sign it." Go!" Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

Eloy accepted the deed in a daze, and carefully read it from beginning to end.Although I know that this thing has no binding force, but if something happens in the future, I can still talk about it.

The deed is no problem!The conditions are very favorable!It seems that the Ming people are indeed in extreme food shortage.

"I sign!"
