The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Vol 2 Chapter 1285: : Crown landing

For gamblers.

When they have lost nothing, they will not hesitate to use all means to try to earn back with profit.

The current mentality of Sir Andres is probably the same.

The people in the governor's house were silent.

The first thing they felt about Sir Andres ’s 'suggestions' was the bitter chill.

But ... the situation is so bad that it can't be increased, what could be worse than it is now.

Borrow, continue ... as long as you stick to it, then ... you can keep your eyes open.

The prices of slightly falling bulbs are still sawing, occasionally falling slightly, and occasionally rising slightly.

But countless dumping is still going on.

Andres began to doubt life.

Because ... he couldn't understand how there are so many bulbs in this world.

Where did these bulbs come from?

The Spanish navy discovered that a merchant ship under the banner of the Northern Province had bypassed Portugal and headed towards North Africa.

However, when the navy was planning to ambush, it discovered Daming's fleet. When the fleets responding here appeared, they immediately aroused the vigilance of the Spanish fleet.

They did not dare to hurry up, but when they called the main fleet, those ships had already gone.

Once the ship is out of the sea, in this era without radar and satellites, it is a haystack to search for its traces, unless the other side travels along the established sea ... and even if it is to ambush, it is extremely difficult After all, the entire Spanish navy cannot be attacked at any time, and the cost is too high.

The treasury itself is already so tense that it can't be overstated.

Is this a conspiracy of Ming people?

Sir Andres became aware of it.

At this time, it was the fourth day.

Dumping continues.

The reserves are almost empty, and even ... they also owe a lot of loans to merchants.

But ... that bulb, but still endless, continue to sell.

It's about to end.

Sir Andres' heart was completely cold.

When an official came to the Governor's Mansion to report, and three warehouses were dumping madly, the Governor's Mansion fell into a deadly silence.

Sir Andres pale as paper: "How much can be acquired?"

"Your Excellency, the reserves are gone, we ... have been drained."

"Your Excellency ..." Someone rushed in and said, "The news is leaking."

The news leaked ...

Sir Andres shivered.

The news ... how could it be that at this time, it was leaking impartially.

The only possibility is ... this was spread by his opponent.

"Clarify the news immediately."

Andres gave the order decisively.

But then, his face was sallow.

To clarify the news ... The reserves have been exhausted, that is to say, the countries have united and almost emptied the treasury, and even the gold and silver that have been borrowed have been completely emptied, and no copper plate has been left. Clarify the news.

Sir Andres fell on the chair with a buttocks, he stared blankly at the void.

"Your Excellency ..." One terrible news after another came.

"The news has spread all over, and now everyone is peddling their bulbs, everywhere, the market has been chaotic, crowded ..."

"Your ... Yours ..."

Sir Andres jumped out of his chair violently: "I immediately arrested the murderers, we failed, let them be buried, and send our soldiers ... soldiers!"

The governor accepted the order with a blank face.

The sinking of Europe is inevitable.

He couldn't imagine what would happen when the finances of various countries were looted and the wealth of various classes disappeared overnight.

Europe, which has enjoyed the colonial dividend for decades, now ... has stood on a cliff.

And now ... before being destroyed, he had to bring soldiers to arrest all the **** people.

but……

There is chaos everywhere on the streets.

There were people walking on the streets everywhere. They took their bulbs and panicked to sell to passers-by.

Just in the early morning, the price of the bulb was still more than twenty gold coins.

But after an hour, when the news spread, the bulb was actually worthless.

No copper can be exchanged.

Because everyone is peddling their bulbs, crazy people, even blocking the road of the Governor and hundreds of soldiers, they are holding bulbs, bowing and begging: "Sir, okay, three Gold coins, my bulbs, are the best in the world ... "

"Go away!" The governor thought, I have more bulbs. Do you want a gold coin?

Soon, the soldiers behind him began to hesitate.

There is a guy, slipped.

Seeing such a horrible scene on the street, he wanted to use his life savings to change the bulb, hoping to appreciate.

As soon as the soldier left, the other soldiers were even more uneasy.

In the distance, the angry man began to smash the bulb to the ground. The bulb fell to the ground and fell into two halves, and a strong garlic smell came out.

The smell of garlic is everywhere.

People saw the soldiers, and someone shouted angrily: "It's them, it's them ..."

The angry people, no matter who robbed themselves.

Because the people who robbed themselves may be far away. But when you turn left, you can always find the Governor.

Under the despair, the humble people used to be crazy.

That kind of smell that turned into nothing overnight was enough to turn any gentle person into a robber.

At first, they hit the soldiers with bulbs.

The angry soldier tried to fight back.

But then, there are more and more such people.

When the governor led the soldiers to find several warehouses with difficulty, and found that there were still bulbs in the warehouse, they were already empty.

They struggled to find several merchants who shipped together.

The businessmen looked at them diligently and told the Governor that he was in contact with a British businessman in York. The British businessman only entrusted them with the sale.

After spending half a day searching for York, the British businessman told him honestly that he was employed by a Portuguese.

As for the Portuguese, they have long disappeared.

The soldiers blocked the port.

There are no ships in or out here.

Until someone told them that there was an island overseas, where it had been rented out, and many suspicious people came in and out, so the governor arrived with sailors.

In the island, everything is as usual, but some facilities have been built, but ... it is still empty.

It is said that the people here got on the boat two days ago and disappeared.

A small fleet in the northern province is ready to go, to bring these **** swindlers to justice.

While Sir Andres issued such an order, on the one hand, a messenger brought even worse news. The fleet of the Northern Province attacked the port and they declared a rebellion.

The reason is simple. The vast majority of officers and soldiers have gone bankrupt, and they have expected that Spain can no longer afford their salaries.

There is chaos everywhere nowadays, and people are in a state of precariousness, and dissatisfaction and resentment have bred.

The fleet that was originally instructed to go out to sea already knew that the sea was vast, and they simply chased those businessmen, so the angry officers and men decided to make a difference.

They hung a flag representing the Netherlands and entered the port. Not only did they not get resistance, but they were quickly welcomed by countless people.

The people roared angrily, countless people followed the sailors, quickly raised a new flag in the city hall, and announced that the northern provinces would no longer accept the brutal Spanish royal rule.

The governor has been killed, a nobleman was trembling, and he was put on the crown by the soldiers.

As for Sir Andres ... He was holding a quill pen, and looked at the messenger with a stunned expression.

The messenger said: "Your Excellency, we should immediately go through France and return to Spain. It has been surrounded by anger. There are rebels everywhere. They have lost their minds."

Andres said: "What about other guests?"

"It's all gone. We should go south and enter France through Lorraine, because the northern provinces of France also have a tendency to chaos. Many people claim to kill the king and hang the businessman."

Andres looked painful: "The barbarians!"

In fact, no one is more painful than Sir Andrés. On the one hand, the chaos are looking for him everywhere, not at odds with him, and there are calls to hang him everywhere. But ... what if he returned to Spain, he would become a scapegoat and also hated by the royal family.

People will only blame him for all errors.

But in fact, from the moment he was ordered to come to the northern province, he had no choice.

"Where is destiny ..." He let out a sigh of emotion ~ www.readwn.com ~ and then he took care of the white hood on his head.

He said to his entourage: "Soon, there will be a mess, there will be war everywhere, the crown will fall to the ground, countless castles, will lose their owners, and all their property will be sold cheaply, who With gold and silver coins, they will become the masters here, I am convinced that those **** people, they will not escape, and it will not take long before they will come back with a facelift, maybe next time, they will call themselves French or The British, or the Venetians, no matter who they are, this person will easily pick up the crown that fell to the ground ... but ... "

Sir Andres closed his eyes in pain: "No one will remember that this group of people were once swindlers and robbers who stole terrifying wealth. People will only remember that he took huge amounts of wealth and landed on the land, Become a great benefactor of many people. "
