Chapter 69: presidential palace

Ps: Thanks for the elegant notes, big love jin brother, he Pitou dream space reward support.
Peruvian Presidential Palace, Manuel stood tremblingly in front of Peruvian President Pedro, carefully raised his head to peep at Pedro's expression,
Pedro looked at the report of the loss of the merchant ship for a few minutes and frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with the loss of the fleet.
Manuel looked panic. After Pedro closed the report, he hurriedly explained, "This encounter with the pirates was a premeditated ambush. Before the departure, only the Cuban Spaniards knew that the Spaniards must have carried the fleet. The news told the pirates that the loss of the fleet was caused. "
In order to shirk the responsibility of the merchant ship's loss, Manuel counted the account on the Spaniards, and deliberately exaggerated the strength of the pirates.
The losses of the two merchant ships and the 800 Chinese laborers were not large. The Peruvian side bought nearly 10,000 Chinese laborers from Cuba this time. After removing the loss of the 800 people, the weaker Chinese laborers can be counted as three. Number of people.
Pedro recruited and signaled Manuel to sit down and said, "I can ignore your responsibility for this loss, but you must pay close attention to the transaction with the rebels, and report it to me as soon as anomalies are discovered. "
Manuel originally thought that Pedro would punish himself, but he only heard a warning from his mouth, and his nervousness was suddenly relieved. Immediately stated: "Humble duty must carefully observe the movements of the rebels and fight for the crime."
Manuel was just an insignificant little man, Pedro focused on Lustuat behind him,
After Lustuart regained his freedom, he used his previous contacts to help the Chinese Independent Army organize a large number of material transactions, and also led the purchase of more than 2,000 Chinese workers.
In view of Lustuart's good performance, Li Mingyuan gave Moyando and his two thousand men to him.
Now Lustuat is the only Peruvian regular army in southern Peru. Although the Chinese Independent Army is stationed in the city of Mojendo and the tax rights are also held by the Chinese troops, Lustuat still has a lot of rights ,
The Chinese Independence Army has not yet retreated, and Lustuat has used his own means to secretly penetrate the cities of Moquegua and Tacna.
As long as the Chinese Independent Army retreats, Lustuart can smoothly grasp the three coastal cities and become a major warlord in Peru.
Therefore, Pedro attaches great importance to Rustuat's attitude and hopes that through this transaction between the two parties, Rustuatla will be brought to his side.
"Manuel, go back and send a message to General Lustuart. As long as he performs well in this transaction, I will be promoted to admiral and acknowledge his sphere of influence."
The three cities of Moyendo are the sphere of influence that Li Mingyuan gave to Lustuat. Pedro knew this condition from the negotiation requirements. Therefore, today Pedro clearly acknowledged Lustuat's control of the three coastal cities. And use this to Stuart to play for him.
Manuel naturally heard Pedro's pull and said excitedly, "Heard of this news, General Lustuart must be very happy."
When entering the Peruvian capital, Lustuart specifically instructed Pedro to acknowledge the fact that he controlled the three coastal cities.
In order to do this, Lustuyat took out the only jewels and gave them to Manuel, letting him transfer them to Pedro.
However, before Manuel had time to see Pedro, he was assigned to Cuba to transport Chinese workers, and encountered pirates on the way back, which led to Pedro's mission not being successfully completed.
At this time, Manuel's heart only had the fear of being punished, and he was not sure about what Lustuart had told him.
Suddenly he heard Pedro's initiative to acknowledge Lustuyat's status, Manuel blossomed with enthusiasm and flattery: "General Lustuyar admires Mr. President very much. Before he came, General I was told that I must visit the President on behalf of the general. "
Manuel kept saying good things, winking at his followers, and then taking out a small box.
Manuel took the box, respectfully held in front of Pedro and talked well: "The general heard that the president has a lot of research on jewellery, and specifically searched for a batch of jewellery to give to the president, hoping that the president would not dislike it."
When Manuel sent out the jewellery, he felt some pain in his heart. Although the jewellery was not his own, it was also a good thing to do it without sending out the jewellery.
Manuel was struggling to send the jewellery. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly thought about the account of Lustuart before his departure: a little jewellery is not important. After controlling the three coastal cities, the money is not large. Put it in your pocket, but if Pedro is upset because the money hasn't been delivered, you will lose a lot.
After figuring out the importance of the matter, Manuel took out the jewellery he had prepared in advance.
As the president of a country, Pedro's money is indispensable, but collecting jewelry is one of his few hobbies.
Hearing the jewellery offered by Manuel, Pedro instantly became interested. He took the wooden box in Manuel's hand, opened and took out a colorful gem, lifted it up to look carefully, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.
"Manuel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ conveyed my gratitude to General Lustuart for me, and I like the gift he gave me very much." Pedro was happy when he put down the gem in his hand.
"Just like the president, General Lustuart is still worried that you don't look down on these jewels!"
Manur smiled, and secretly admired Lustuart's methods. "The general deserves to be a master of the military and political circles for two decades. As soon as the jewelry is delivered, the president's attitude immediately changes. It seems that I still have to learn from the general seriously."
"General Lustuat is interested," Pedro praised Lustuat, with a smile on his face: "The materials and Chinese workers used to trade with the rebels have been prepared. You still have to go back and coordinate with the rebels as soon as possible. Transaction time, and strive to recover lost ground as soon as possible. "
"Understanding." Manuel responded, bowing his head and leaving Pedro before leaving.
After Manuel's departure, the smile on Pedro's face disappeared quickly, staring at the glittering gems on the wooden box, and he said to himself, "A lot of gems want to buy me, but it's too much of me."
The Lustuarts have just begun, and Pedro has no plans to deal with him now, but after sending away the Chinese Independence Army, the of plague, if Lustuart is still unable to correct his position, it is honest for Ped Luo works, and Pedro won't let him go.
Every political master is an excellent actor and chess player. They are good at taking advantage of the complex situation in politics to make a profit for themselves.
However, for conspiracy and deception, Li Mingyuan prefers to crush the opponent with absolute strength, forcing the opponent to bow his head.
Pedro, Lustuart and others are political veterans. On playing with power, the two Li Mingyuan can't play either of them.
But as a result, Li Mingyuan's simple deployment eliminated the main force of the southern Peruvian army, making their conspiracy and trickery useless, and they could only agree with Li Mingyuan.
