Chapter 346 Seven Ships
"What? Franco is back? He has the face to come back?"

When Franco was mentioned, Olaza didn't get angry.

I just criticized him a few words, but I lost my temper. Is there such a subordinate?
Olaza walked slowly to the gate and walked out.There was a group of people standing at the door, and Olaza saw Franco at first glance, and was about to swear, when he saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes standing beside Franco.

"Cerezo!?" Olaza yelled in disbelief. "Why are you here?"

"Olaza, long time no see!" The middle-aged man named Cerezo stared at Olaza playfully.

"See you? It's best not to see you!" Olaza said angrily.

Juan Cerezo de Salamanca, Olaza's political opponent.The families of the two are feuds, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but neither side has found any advantages.

"Don't worry, you will leave Luzon soon. I guess I won't see you again for some days."

"What do you mean?" Olaza became alert. Could it be that his plan to escape has been known to others?

"I am here this time on the orders of His Majesty the King to take over your position as Governor of Luzon! Therefore, you will soon be moving out of this Governor's Mansion." proud.

"Take my place!? Now?" Olaza was confused.

"Yes, here, here is the official document." Saying this, Cerezo took a piece of paper from the soldier behind him and handed it to Olaza.

"You don't need to read the official documents. Although you are ugly, you don't dare to make a fuss about this matter. But now Luzon is at war, do you know?" Olaza asked with a strange expression.

"Of course I know it. Not only that, I also know that under your command, our army has been retreating steadily and lost many warships. I have seen it on the way here."

"Do you think you can beat smart people after you took office?"

"That's natural. I brought two thousand elites, thirty latest warships, and countless weapons and equipment. I'm so smart, and the governor doesn't take it seriously." Cerezo said The haughtiness of the face.

"Okay. Since it is His Majesty's order, I have nothing to say. Wait for me for a quarter of an hour, and I will immediately vacate the Governor's Mansion for you."

"Oh? Don't worry. It's getting late today, and it won't be too late to move tomorrow."

"No! I'll move right away."

"Hehe, thank you very much." Cerezo had a hypocritical smile on his face.

Olaza waved his hand and entered the Governor's Mansion, and looked at Franco with a sneer before leaving.

"It seems that your former boss was very angry with you." Cerezo watched Olaza enter the room and said to Franco with a smile.

"Maybe that's why I left without saying goodbye."

Franco sighed softly.

He had been with Olaza for nearly a year, and it was quite pleasant.But he is self-willed and arrogant, which is really embarrassing.He left without saying goodbye, making up his mind to return to Mexico to report to His Majesty the King about the dire situation facing Luzon, and by the way, sue Olaza.

Who knows that his ship sailed at sea for seven or eight days, and it was an extremely coincidental encounter with Cerezo's fleet.As soon as the two parties met, they naturally wanted to communicate. When they learned that Cerezo had come to Luzon to take office at the order of His Majesty the King, they told Cerezo about the situation in Luzon and told him his own Intend.

After hearing this, Cerezo waved his hand, telling him not to go back.Said that the soldiers and weapons he brought could easily suppress the rebellion.Franco thought for a while, and felt that what Cerezo said was reasonable, so he abducted back with his fleet.

When they arrived at Manila Bay, it was already late, and the tragedy on the battlefield had almost been sorted out.Although he heard from the soldiers that he had just lost the battle, Cerezo, who was anxious to go to Manila to show off to Olaza, didn't know more about it, so he went straight to the city with the fleet.

Cerezo thought he would have a lot of talk, and even a conflict.But he didn't expect Olaza to be so straightforward, and immediately agreed to hand over the governor's mansion, which surprised him very much.

"Let's go, Franco. Bring someone to lift everything off the boat."

"Yes, my lord governor."

"Ha ha!"

Cerezo, who was called by Franco the governor, laughed heartily.

By the time he took people off the boat to move all his belongings back to the Governor's Mansion, Olaza had packed up all his things and was waiting outside the Governor's Mansion.

"Olaza, so fast?" Cerezo asked in surprise, looking at the large and small boxes saluting.

"No matter what, we can't delay the Governor's appointment, right?" Olaza smiled strangely.

"Tsk tsk, I haven't seen you for more than a year. I didn't expect you to become so much more pleasing to the eye. Let's go, shall I see you off?"

"Don't dare to bother the governor, I'll just go by myself."

"Then wish you a smooth journey."

"Ha ha."

Olaza chuckled, showing his white teeth. Taking advantage of the light of the torch, Cerezo shivered unconsciously.

Olaza left, taking the gold, silver and jewels he had plundered in the past year, and packed a large boat.

In order to ensure safety, he transferred five large ships, left Manila Bay overnight, and then headed north all the way.He was going to cross the Straits of Malacca and go straight back to Mexico.

The fleet sailed at full speed all night, until the next morning, when Olaza stood on the deck, bathing in the first ray of morning sun, he was completely relieved.

Looking back on all that has happened these days, he has a strong sense of unreality.

Accurate artillery, battleships made of steel, and everything made him realize that Daming, whom they have regarded as fat all these years, has become so powerful that he does not know when.

He felt a surge of relief at the memory of Cerezo's smug expression the night before.I couldn't help laughing out loud!

From then on, this Luzon no longer has anything to do with me.Let you Cerezo toss it!

Cerezo is enjoying his first breakfast in office at the presidential palace in Manila.

He slept well last night, drifting at sea for more than two months, eating, drinking and playing were extremely uncomfortable.

After breakfast, he called Franco.He intends to let him familiarize himself with the environment in Manila.

"Your Excellency, the first task now is to retreat from the enemy. I heard from the people below that Zheng Zhilong outside the city has been besieging the city for more than ten days, but Manila is impenetrable, and they have not been able to defeat it. But it is not an option to keep them besieged, anyway. Just drive them away."

"They have come from afar, so it's quite difficult to supply them. Let's cut off their supply line." Cerezo is not an ordinary person, and he directly named the key to the problem.

"It is said that Olaza sent three fleets to the sea to block their supplies, but they never came back. In addition, the fleet of Mingren came to attack the warships in Manila Bay in the past two days. I suspect that the three fleets that went out The fleet has already encountered an accident."

After Cerezo fell asleep yesterday, Franco specially called his former confidant to learn about the recent situation, and the result surprised him.

"Da Ming's fleet dares to come to our door to act presumptuously, how many warships do they have?"

"Seven."
