"Shang Fang?" Raul Torres was confused and asked: "Are your... Mongolians?"
He also knew about the Mongols. Although he had never seen them, he had heard of some. Looking at those white knights, he always felt that they looked a bit like them.
The white-faced and long-bearded knight asked loudly: "What Mongols? I am from Shang Fang! Where did you people from Guifang come from? How dare you invade my Shang Fang land? Did the Zhou people send you here? What?"
A place for business? Someone from the ghost side? Zhou people?
Raul Torres became more and more confused. The other person seemed to be speaking in Chinese. He could barely understand each word, but what did they mean together? He really didn't understand.
It seems that we can only use the common language in the world - force! Go reason with these savages.
Thinking of this, he looked back at his mercenary leader Perez and asked in Spanish: "Can your people deal with these barbarians?"
Before Perez could reply, the white-faced and long-bearded knight shouted: "The gun... put it down!"
Then thousands of people shouted in unison: "The great merchant is mighty!"
After the roar, thousands of flintlock guns were taken off the shoulders of those "Shang cavalry", and then the muzzles of the guns were flattened forward!
"Flintlock, flintlock gun?" Perez recognized at a glance that the other party was using a flintlock gun. His men only had matchlocks, but all of them had flintlock guns... And looking at the way they aimed their guns, you could tell they were well-trained!
"Master Bishop, we can't defeat them... They don't look like barbarians. They seem to be quite civilized and reasonable!"
Raul Torres also saw the black muzzles of thousands of flintlock guns pointed at him... These Shang people holding flintlock guns were indeed reasonable and civilized people!
They are reasoning with Raul Torres in a common language in the world!
"Don't shoot... We don't mean any harm, misunderstanding!" Raul Torres shouted while raising his hands high.
Seeing him raising his hands high, Perez quickly raised his hands as well, assuming a peace-loving posture. The mercenaries below saw that they all also loved peace... They all raised their hands high, and some even Muskets and spears were thrown to the ground.
I have to say, this attitude is still very good.
And the knight with the white face and long beard... was of course Zhou Peigong, and he was also proud at this time.
Since he arrived in the New World, he has been quite at ease with himself, and he can use whatever tricks he uses to succeed. Now this imposter plan seems to be successful again.
Thinking of this, he loudly said to the foreign priest: "Listen to the people of Guifang. The north of the desert has been owned by the Shang Fang since ancient times. We, the Shang Fang, have crossed the sea and come here for more than 2,600 years. You and the Guifang Fang , please leave quickly and I won’t kill you!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and a group of Mongolians immediately shouted: "Leave quickly, I will not kill you! Tiger..."
So fierce!
And the gun of this gang of murderers was still lying flat!
Although Raul Torres still didn't quite understand what Shang Fang and Guifang meant, but with the help of the flintlock gun, he could understand it a little better. "Shang Fang" should be the name of the country. These musketeers should be people from the Shang Fang Kingdom... They crossed the sea to the New World 2,600 years ago! This was much earlier than Spain’s arrival in the New World.
In addition, when these Shang people said that "north of the desert is owned by the Shang", they probably meant that the land north of the Sonora Desert had been owned by the Shang since ancient times.
As for Guifang... Raul Torres thought he was talking about himself and his men! What the white knight meant was to tell them to get out of here! You have to get out to survive, otherwise you will be shot.
Raul Torres didn’t dare to ask any more questions, his life was at stake!
He is just a diocesan bishop, not the governor of New Spain...Who owns the land north of the Sonora Desert? What the hell does it have to do with him?
Thinking of this, he quickly said to Perez: "They asked us to leave, otherwise they would shoot... They have more people than us, and their firepower is much stronger, so we still leave temporarily. Let’s conserve our strength!”
"Okay!" Perez raised his hands and said, "Bishop, let's go now!"
"Let's go!" Raul Torres took another look at the "Shang Fang people". He still felt that these people looked like Mongolians. But what he thinks is no longer important. What matters is what the governor of New Spain and the cardinal archbishop of New Spain think?
...
Seeing that the Spaniards were finally coaxed away, Zhou Peigong was relieved.
His purpose in doing this was to prevent the Spaniards from knowing what was true on his side. Before Zhou Peigong left the Ming Dynasty, the Yousi of the Ming Dynasty Military Advisor Office had already handed him a detailed intelligence report on the Kingdom of New Spain. So he knew that the Kingdom of New Spain was still very strong!
At least the strength on paper is strong! Needless to say, the land is more than 20,000 miles from south to north! And the population is also large, including more than 500,000 whites and native whites, and more than 10 million people of Indo-European, European-black, Indian and other ethnic groups combined!
If this population base is placed there, 30 to 50 thousand people can be mobilized to conquer Fugui Bay with casual mobilization.
On the Fugui Bay side, there are less than a thousand people who can really fight. Even if two thousand Mongolian families are added, the total force is only three thousand.
The numerical disadvantage is too great, and there is no chance of winning in a fight.
However, Zhou Peigong also discovered that this seemingly powerful Kingdom of New Spain also had a big flaw... It was a colony governed by aristocratic bureaucrats from Spain. Not only was the governor of New Spain a big nobleman and bureaucrat sent from Spain, but the governors of the various governorates and colonies below were also noble bureaucrats from Spain.
Zhou Peigong knew very well the bureaucratic style of doing things. They all seek stability first and do things in a smooth manner. The best thing is that there is nothing that needs to be decided except making money. The most afraid thing is that something big will happen.
Therefore, if the governor of New Spain sent by Spain learns that the Ming Dynasty has come to the New World, he is likely to make an immediate decision and send troops to Fugui Bay immediately - this is a must! Needless to say, the Ming Dynasty posed a great threat to Spain, and there was a process for the Ming Dynasty to transport people to the New World. A batch of several thousand would be enough to support the sky. Why don't the Spaniards beat you up while you are outnumbered?
And if the Spanish governor gets news that there is a country in the northwest corner of the New World that migrated from China 2,600 years ago, and there are such awesome weapons as flintlocks, then he will have to think carefully about whether to blindly War started?
What to do if defeated?
They have been there for more than two thousand years, and the population is never small! Even if there were only a few thousand people when they came here, after more than 2,600 years of reproduction, they could still reach millions, right?
Even at a further discount, with a population of one million and advanced weapons such as flintlocks, it would not be something that the Kingdom of New Spain could easily win.
Of course, the Spaniards may not necessarily believe Zhou Peigong’s lies. But a big bureaucrat like the Governor of New Spain must be steady in his work and will not easily provoke a long-term war that requires tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to participate... He must first investigate and then study and then negotiate. , after figuring out the situation and the other side's position, then ask the King of Spain for instructions, whether he wants to fight or make peace?
With this back and forth, maybe a few years will pass. By the time the Spaniards figured out the situation and decided to go to war, most of the American Kingdom and American Khanate in the New World were already frightened!
So in Zhou Peigong's heart, he was so proud... he even admired himself a little! Why is it so powerful?
In addition, if you are so powerful, why would you "defeat Zhu"? Is this what destiny is?
Thinking of this, Zhou Peigong said to Danjin Emu who was beside him: "Danjin Anda, you stay here...don't let the foreign devils go north to Fugui Bay. If they come, you should block them. In addition, , you must insist that this place has been owned by Shang since ancient times!"
