Seeing that the sun was about to rise and the most comfortable time of the day for fighting was about to pass, a group of Spanish sword and shield soldiers wearing pot-shaped helmets and plate breastplates appeared on the Pasig River in a boat between the two armies. superior.
A Spanish major who led the team held a copper-shell trumpet in his hand and started chirping.
There are many overseas Chinese who understand Spanish and translate it for those around them:
"The red-haired ghost said that they did not want to participate in the armed fight between the two tribes, but the Governor had the responsibility to protect the country and the people, so he decided to mediate."
"Aren't you going to fight?" Many overseas Chinese breathed a sigh of relief. The huge sacrifice had already exceeded the limit they could bear. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to retreat, they would have collapsed and fled.
"No." But the interpreters shook their heads and said: "The red-haired ghost said, but Fanzi refused to accept mediation, saying that we killed too many of their people, and we must pay with blood!"
"Fart!" Chen Yongquan and other young people said with red eyes: "They came to rob us! And more of us died!"
"Keep your voice down and listen to them!" Lin Afa and others scolded the young people.
"The red-haired ghost said that their governor has a good life and has made an agreement with Fan Zai to cease fighting for half a day today and allow us to take refuge in the city!"
"The red-haired master is so kind!" Lin Afa couldn't help but knelt down and howled: "I can't repay you for your great kindness!"
"You fucking fart!" Second Master Gao picked up the javelin and wanted to stab him to death, but luckily he was pulled away by someone around him. Second Master Gao roared angrily: "How many of us did Fan Zai kill? Most of our people died from the red-haired ghost's cannonballs!"
When everyone heard this, they gnashed their teeth. The red-haired ghost's cannons collapsed their fences and destroyed their houses. Moreover, they also fired red-hot iron bullets, causing fires in the stream and burning their homes to ashes, causing countless deaths and injuries.
"They are the ones who probably brought these troubles!" Chen Yongquan and others were so angry that they threw javelins at the ship, but they were blocked by Spanish soldiers who were waiting for them and used large shields as high as one person.
"A cat cries as a mouse shows mercy! A turtle is born and married to a literary insect!" The young people kept shouting angrily, and even wanted to shoot the red-haired ghost with their guns.
Chen Mei had no choice but to stop them and let the red-haired ghost finish his words!
The major then continued: "But the space in Santiago is limited and can only accommodate up to 10,000 people. Therefore, our governor stipulates that only after 12 noon, ships will be sent to bring 10,000 people into the city."
After a pause, he continued: "If you intend to seek refuge in the city, please prepare a one hundred pesos entry fee! One hundred pesos per person!"
"Robbery!" The Lucky Guys indeed valued money more than their lives, and their attention immediately shifted to money.
The major stopped talking nonsense and quickly ordered the rowing boat to stay away from here. Just now those Ming people were throwing spears and raising guns, which scared him so much that he almost peed his pants.

With the red-haired ghost stirring things up, the atmosphere of common hatred and hatred on the island suddenly disappeared.
The compatriots who had fought side by side regardless of each other before gathered into small groups according to their clans of origin to discuss what to do next.
The people in the business hall watched indifferently, and the Marines simply turned their backs on them and looked at the little black people on the other side of the river to prevent them from sneak attacks.
Tang Baolu hung his left arm and sat down next to Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing had a long wound on his head scratched by flying gravel, and it was wrapped with gauze and still oozing blood. However, he held a cigarette nonchalantly, picked up a small fish with a bayonet, and turned it over in the sun.
"What is this for?" Tang Baolu asked strangely.
"Grill the fish." Ximen Qing said: "Such a poisonous sun must be of some use, right?"
"Then you should read more. The young master talked about how to use solar energy in "Little Knowledge of Nature"." Tang Baolu then showed off: "It is called 'The sun is shining, and the fire comes from the sky'."
"What's Yang?" Ximen Qing asked.
"It's just a concave mirror. In fact, it would be better if you dismantle your telescope and use the glass lens on it." Tang Baolu said enthusiastically: "Let's try it?"
"Don't come here." Ximen Qing quickly protected the brass telescope around his neck and said, "This is the Amami Victory Commemorative Edition!"
"Can you exchange this for a hundred pesos?" Tang Paulu asked slowly.
"I won't change it for one thousand." Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Why, are you upset?"
"The red-haired devil has a master." Tang Baolu took out a strawberry candy with his right hand, peeled off the candy wrapper with the cooperation of his mouth, rolled his tongue into his mouth, and said quietly: "As soon as this price was announced, I knew something bad was going to happen. Son."
&nbsJust dig into the hole! "
"Yes, if it weren't for the red-haired ghosts firing cannons, so many of us would have died? Who would have believed them? They are just blind!" Liu Xuesheng also echoed loudly: "Their purpose is to take away half of our people first. , let Fan Zai kill all the remaining people!"
"Then it's better to die together!" Mr. Gao, wielding a machete, said with murderous intent: "Who dares to leave, I will chop him with a knife!"
Tang Baolu raised his hand and signaled Mr. Gao to calm down, then looked at Lin Afa and Huang San with cold eyes and said: "Secondly, I know that some people are spreading things like no money, death, freedom of coming and going, etc. Fallacy. But I want to remind everyone that we have fought bloody battles with the enemy for seven days! May I ask those two thousand compatriots who stood in the front and sacrificed their lives for us, do they still have a choice?! Now some people want to be deserters, will they agree?! "
"No!" Mr. Gao held a knife and roared: "Whoever dares to be a deserter, I will chop him up on behalf of my dead brother!"
"Third!" Tang Baolu curled up his last finger, clenched his fists, and said confidently: "Our fleet is coming at starry night, and reinforcements will arrive in two days! As long as we hold on for another twenty-four hours, we will Then we can win and drive the red-haired ghost into the sea!"
