Chapter 330 Lu Song Can't Turn the Sky
Decades later, the natives once again felt the viciousness of the Spaniards.

For a while, except for some people who planned to resist stubbornly and went into the mountains, most of the rebels who raised their own flags surrendered one after another, begging for their lives.Fortunately, Olaza still had his senses, and knew that it was not an option to keep killing him. He said that as long as he surrendered, he would not kill him.

As the governor, Olaza naturally doesn't just kill people.While actively negotiating with neighboring countries, he spared no expense in buying food and distributing it to various places for disaster relief. He also planned to control public opinion and tell the people that they were tricked by Ming people.But the natives who have been brainwashed by Conley still don't believe what they say, but they dare not resist due to the deterrence of force.

The situation in Luzon is like adding a ladle of cold water to a boiling pot, and it seems to have calmed down again.But the calm is only temporary, as long as the temperature of the iron pot rises again, the water in the pot will boil again.

In fact, Olaza is still very proud of his handling of the current situation.But the only thing that makes him feel restless is Conley who is entrenched in Dagupan. According to the people below, the number of Conley's rebels has reached 6000, and it is still increasing.

He didn't know what Eloy and Zheng Zhilong talked about, but it was impossible for him to satisfy his wish to recycle the grain.

If Zheng Zhilong came over this trip, he would have to talk to him personally.He was willing to pay any price to resolve the rebellion.But what will Zheng Zhilong do?
Fortunately, Olaza's anxiety didn't last long, and Eloy came back, beaming.

"My lord! It's done! Zheng Zhilong promised to help us solve the rebellion!"

"Eloy."

"What's the matter, Governor?" Eloy was a little surprised. Why couldn't he see joy on Olaza's face? Didn't they discuss it well before leaving?

"We can't sell them food anymore."

"what why?"

"All the grain production on the island has been reduced. The best harvest is only about [-] catties per mu! The natives don't have enough to eat, and they are rebelling everywhere! Tell me, what are we going to sell to Zheng Zhilong!?"

"But they have already brought people over with me, and they have hundreds of empty boats parked outside Corregidor Island and are preparing to collect food! And the silver is all ready, I have seen it all! Now, what now? ?” Eloy said in a hurried voice, and he patted his chest and called him brothers and sisters, and now he did it again.

It's not that he's afraid of Mingren's troubles, but it's not something honorable to keep breaking appointments again and again.

"Who came? How many people did they bring?" Olaza immediately became nervous when he heard that the other party followed him.

"The ones who came were Zheng Zhilong and a subordinate named Hong Xu. There was no one else except sailors and stevedores."

"Hong Xu? I haven't heard of it. You said they still brought money?"

"Yes! I saw with my own eyes that several cabins were fully loaded. It seems that they really want to buy food."

Olaza was silent.He also felt the other party's eagerness to buy food.The last time he didn't want to sell to Zheng Zhilong, he went to war, but this time if he doesn't sell it, will he be mad?

But the problem is that last time I really had something I didn't want to sell, but this time I didn't even want to sell it!
"Go, go meet this man named Hong Xu."

Olaza went out and led the people outside Corregidor Island.His boat stopped not far from Hong Xu's boat, and ordered people to shout for Hong Xu to come to the bow and see him.

Hong Xu came out of the cabin after getting the news.

"Who are you?"

"Vice King of New Spain, Governor Olaza in Luzon!"

"What piercing?" Hong Xu asked, digging out his ears.

"Olaza!"

"Oh! Where's the food?"

Olaza really didn't expect that this person would go straight to the topic as soon as he came up, which made him a little speechless for a while.

"General Hong, something is wrong with the rice this season. The yield is frighteningly low. In many places, the yield per mu is only a few dozen catties!"

"What do you mean?" Hong Xu's face turned cold.

"That's it. Can you go back and tell us, Mr. Zheng, that we will bring this food over in a while? This season's food production has been severely reduced, and it will take some time to raise it from elsewhere."

"You mean, there is no food now?"

"Not yet."

"When will it be?"

"A few days!"

"How many days have passed?"

"This, I can't tell."

"Then why did you rush to Taiwan to find us? Then why did you let us come with you? Are you kidding us?" Hong Xu said angrily.

"General Hong, calm down. See if this works! I'll give you 10 taels of silver as a mortgage first, and we will raise enough grain as soon as possible. When it is delivered tomorrow, the money will be offset against the grain purchase price. What does General Hong want?" .”

"No way! We need food now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"But it really doesn't exist now. One month! Give us one month. After you have collected the food, you can pull it! The 10 taels of silver should be regarded as an apology! General Hong please understand our difficulties."

"10 taels? What about sending beggars? One million taels won't work! Don't think I don't know. You must be trying to fool us like last time! We don't want anything, but food! I'll leave my words here today, ten We won’t be able to deliver food within a few days! We will send troops immediately! Take your Manila by then! Let’s see if food is more important than life!” Hong Xu seemed extremely angry, ignoring Olaza’s rhetoric.

"General Hong! You are being unreasonable!" Olaza had never been wronged before, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Am I unreasonable? Then let me ask you, a few days ago, Eloy went to Taiwan and signed a contract with us in black and white. Is it child's play? This is how you red-haired Frankies interact with other countries. of?"

"Then what do you say?" Olaza became impatient seeing that Hong Xu would not let go.What the hell, a small person dares to show off to me.

"Nothing to do. Let me just ask, is this food available or not?"

"There will be one month later." Olaza spread his hands.

"I see. Withdraw!" The goal was achieved, and Hong Xu didn't intend to waste his words here, so he immediately gave the order to retreat.

Watching Hong Xu's retreat, Olaza's expression turned extremely ugly.

what!Sending an unknown person to come here to show his prestige, this Zheng Zhilong is too contemptuous of others!

"My lord, what should we do?" Seeing that things were completely messed up, Eloy asked helplessly.

"Nothing to do."

Olazar glared at him. "Let the soldiers get ready and strengthen patrols in the waters around Manila Bay. All the soldiers sent to suppress the rebellion are recalled and defend Manila!"

He didn't believe that Zheng Zhilong would openly wage war between the two countries for this little food, after all, he just wanted to get more benefits!But even if the benefits can be given up, the bottom line must be kept!As long as Manila is still in their hands, this Luzon will not be able to turn the sky!
