Chapter 73: The Essence of Drama

The port office, which was once a Western tax officer, has now become the temporary office of the Oriental Military Government because it is the only wooden and stone building that can block the bombardment of ships and guns.

However, Chen Mu really can't guarantee whether he can block the two stone shooting cannons usually arranged at the head of the Spanish warships... Chen Mu feels that nothing in this era can block the stone shooting cannon.

Of course, the premise is that the stone shooting cannon can be shot correctly.

The boss Governor Almansa did not sleep all night, not because the mud-built house was too simple or the mosquito bites at night, but because yesterday afternoon he sent five confidants to Mexico City with his secret horses.

It was also because of this that the governor who had not been sleeping all night and had a big dark circle opened the door and found that there was a silent army standing outside. He was almost frightened to collapse to the ground.

It was not someone else outside the door, but because of the naturalization of Langren Liandou in Luzon, who followed Chen Mu as a servant. Langren's hard life was overwhelming. Not only was the white rice full, but he wore brocade clothes that were difficult for warriors who were loyal to Daming in the past, and the armor was also iron. He didn't have to wear a robe to fight.

Fortunately, Lian Dou, who prefers Tang Feng armor, became the team leader with his martial arts and qualifications.

He didn't like the newly made breastplate, the iron arm tying under the influence of the Mongolian Empire. This guy spent the whole three years of Wanli, and finally bought himself a mountain armor before following his master's family to go to Asia. He wore a helmet of a mixed iron lion Tang, and his head was covered with red yak hair dyed behind his head, which was majestic.

He scared Armansa who opened the door so much that he wanted to turn around and run away. As a result, his legs were weak and almost sat on the ground. Thanks to Lian Dou's quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly helped the boss's general up and said in Spanish that he had learned in Luzon: "Governor, the general is welcome."

This person has a ghost in his heart, and he looks like a ghost when he looks like a ghost.

But sometimes it really hits a ghost.

The second-story port building with white walls and orange tiles still looks the same. Chen Mu, who was extremely lacking in security, was on high alert no matter where he went, and plucked up his courage to follow the soldiers with swords and belts in Liandou headquarters to step in.

In the hall, Chen Mu sat in the middle with a tea bowl, holding a big golden sword, and Jun Song stood beside him holding a golden gourd. Three people in front of the hall knelt down, looking at the color of the costumes and wearing linen shirts.

"The Governor is here, sit down."

Chen Mu, who put down the tea bowl, was laughing, making Almansa's heart beat like he was about to hit him out of his throat. Seeing the rider who was supposed to have arrived in Mexico City at this time kneeling here, he couldn't sit down.

"How did the governor sleep that night? Chen didn't sleep well and was called out by his subordinates in the middle of the night, saying that someone was going to deliver a letter to Mexico City, and the letter explained all our information clearly."

Chen Mu's smile disappeared, and he carefully raised his fingers and counted: "It means that the main fleet of the army went south to fight against the Peru Army, and another part of the troops attacked the Peru Governor's District."

"The current garrison of Acapulco Port is empty, with only more than 1,000 personal soldiers and thousands of craftsmen in Chen Mu. They are deployed on the two important roads to the east, respectively, and 900 infantry soldiers, and 900 cavalry as reserves."

"Also attached a map, even the pictures were printed by my printing factory, Almansa"

Chen Mu blinked, put the teacup on the table, held his knees with both hands, frowned and was extremely confused, and then paused before continuing, "You don't want to live anymore!"

However, he did not expect that Almanza breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had long thought about how he would end up sending such a letter to Mexico City.

It also seemed that only at this time, Armansa, who thought everything clearly, was like a rank of a huge empire when facing Chen Mu. The obvious feature of this confidence returning to the boss's heart was that he moved his butt and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

For some reason, he first raised his left hand and asked Chen Mu to look at it. His whole palm was wrapped in the gauze he had changed yesterday. In the hot weather, the pus and the ointment were stuck together, making the hand look like a rotten eggplant with running water.

"I was assassinated by young people in my country and lost my fingers, but I don't think it's a pity, because my loss of two fingers will allow more young people like them to save their lives, and there is no need to separate life and death from Ming Dynasty in the war."

"At that time, I knew that you came for your monarch and gained benefits for the Ming Kingdom in the New World. Proper concessions could temporarily fill your stomach, and artillery trade could also benefit my king and consolidate his rule in Europe."

Armansa's only three fingers left in his left hand gestured in front of him, his expression freely as if yesterday, but in fact, he knew in his heart that they had been enemies since he sent someone to send a letter yesterday.

But he was not afraid of it: "What happened later was not what I wanted to see. I still hoped to reduce the losses of Spain. Even if I lost the South of the New World, as long as I saved Potosi and Mexico, those worthless lands would not be a loss to the king."

"But since the war started, the general had no intention of leaving anything for Spain in the New World? Maybe I am old and my fear of Ming made me more inclined to compromise, but I am not a traitor to the king."

"If those kids can stand with me all the time, this agreement should be a good result; if I can resist as strongly as those kids, I can also use the wisdom of the elderly to help them."

Almansa did not think his choice was wrong, nor did he think that Bernard's choice was wrong: "But now I am ashamed of the role I played in this war. Let them go, nothing will be helpful."

The "they" in Almansa's mouth were the three riders. He opened his still-complete right hand and struggled to find an obsidian pipe from his body and put it on his mouth. It was confirmed that Chen Mu saw his open hand, and then he took out the lighter that Shao Tingda gave him to lit the tinder on the pipe, and took a deep breath.

"Five, I sent five riders last night, and two lucky ones successfully crossed the general's defense line. After all, few people carefully checked their own side, right?"

The smoke fainted in the hall, and the old Almansa looked calm.

"In this huge war, the role an old man can do is minimal. Maybe New Spain will still lose the war, but at least at the last moment, I did what I should do, and the gods will forgive my sins."

Armansa rarely said in Chinese: "Kill me with your principles, at this moment, my heart is as calm as water."

"Are you finished?"

Chen Mu waited for a long time, and then he spoke when he saw Almansa stop talking. Perhaps because of his dry throat, his voice reminded him of the two big geese raised in Qingyuan. He slowly picked up the teacup on the table and savored it carefully.

"Ahem, the tea is cold."

"Is it because the old men are so extreme, or is it because the old men in Spain are so extreme?"

Chen Mu frowned, and before he finished his movements, he quickly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. People fighting were worried. If they wrinkled like this, the character Sichuan character would appear on his face, which would add to his viciousness and contradict his gentle and jade-like image.

After finishing facial treatment, he spread his hands and said to Almansa: "I'm not worried about leaving the two riders. What I'm worried about is that you and you actually delivered a letter to Bernard on your back."

"Aren't we friends? You don't treat me as a friend. If you tell me your ideas, I will find a more suitable solution. Although we, the Asian ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and the governor of the New World in Spain, I will come up with the best of both worlds."

"Even if I can't, I will agree to you send this letter to Bernard without changing the contents of the letter."

"When my flag army found these, I asked you to come and ask clearly, but you thought I was going to kill you. You misunderstand me too deeply."

Chen Mu lowered his head regretfully, ignored the strange gazes of Du Song and others, and sighed a long sigh, just as if he was looking directly at Almansa in the port council hall a few days ago, saying with certainty that he would fight the war until the end of the day, and said, "Have you seen me kill people? No, because Chen has always been kind to others and kind to others!"
