After being translated by various countries, it became clear to everyone present that this war was inevitable.

The overseas governors of Britain, the Netherlands, and Portugal ignored each other, and all shook their heads and left.

Manila Governor Salctor's face was pale, he couldn't kneel down on the spot and beg the Ming Emperor not to fight, so he had to run back to Manila to prepare for the battle.

Perhaps, with the easy defense and difficult attack of the fortress, it can carry it for a year and a half until reinforcements from the American colonies arrive......

After reasoning and politeness, the next step is to show your strength.

If you don't have a strong strength to rely on, that's a trick!

In later generations, India applied for membership in the P5 many times, but was vetoed by the five permanent members in turn.

Why?

It's because he didn't show the strength he should have!

China was able to enter the United Nations and become one of the five permanent members, not just inheriting the legitimate status of a certain regime, but relying on strength to enter it!

War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, fight the United States!

Treasure Island self-defense counterattack, fight the Soviet Union!

Self-defense counterattack against India, beat India!

Self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, educate Vietnam!

This war is a manifestation of China's strength!

China is relying on its fists to enter the P5 step by step, and sit firmly in the position of the P5 brother!

Why India? How much do you fall by plane? Or is the Ganges water delicious? Or maybe a good motorcycle?

Rao is India's continuous territorial expansion in order to become a world power since its founding, and has launched wars against its neighbors all year round, but the combat effectiveness he has shown makes people reluctant to evaluate more.

It seems awesome to bully a small country in the South Asian subcontinent, but looking at the whole world, India is not qualified!

In the Battle of Manila, the Ming Dynasty wanted to do Spain, but Zhu Cihong made the Ming Dynasty a world power and entered the Age of Discovery!

He wants to let the European colonists see with their own eyes how strong the real strength of the Ming Dynasty is!

In the South Seas, in the land of Asia, who is the real boss?

In order to deepen this strategy, Manila is just the beginning, followed by Spain's American colonies, as well as Spain's mainland in Europe, the Ming Dynasty has to teach a lesson, so that the European powers know what the fate of easily offending the Ming is!

All in all, Zhu Cihong's attitude towards Spain is very resolute, until he is convinced!

Aren't you the world's first empire on which the sun never sets? Isn't it the hegemon of Europe of yesteryear?

Very good, I'll take you under the knife!

At ten o'clock in the morning of the fifth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Tianwu, the Ming Dynasty officially declared war on Spain!

Zhu Cihong issued a combat order to all departments: to capture Manila with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai and recover the entire territory of Luzon and the Philippine Islands!

......

Manila Bay is the largest bay in Luzon and one of the finest bays in the world, with the width of the bay's entrance being just over three kilometers.

At this moment, the weather is clear, the sky is cloudless, and the sea is calm, sparkling, and blue.

In the vast sea in the bay, the battle formation of the Ming naval fleet is forming, heading for the port of Manila, where the Spanish warships are located.

On the battleship Taichang, Admiral Shen Shouchong stood on the deck, clearly seeing the undulating coastline and jungle on both sides in the distance.

He turned to look at the admirals lined up in order, and said loudly: "One last reminder, after the fleet arrives at the Spanish shipyard, it must destroy all the shore defense guns and all the Spanish warships in the shortest possible time, and prevent them from destroying the shipyard facilities!" ”

Spain has the largest shipyard in the South Seas in the port, which is a good thing, but it can't be destroyed by foreign devils!

Shen Shouchong continued to shout: "After landing, the marines quickly landed and attacked the three barracks of the Spanish army on the shore, eliminating the foreign devils as much as possible and crushing their will to resist!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

A group of young admirals responded loudly, all of them trying to kill the Western devils!

The coastline slowly became clearer, the harbor was revealed, there was not a single large ship in the bay, foreign merchant ships had long since left the harbor to avoid the war, and Spanish ships were evacuated elsewhere.

At this time, in the harbor, only a few Spanish warships were silently and lifeless floating on the sea.

Of these warships, the largest was only a third-class sail battleship, and the smaller one was only five or six ranks, with a displacement of more than 700 tons.

Looking at the situation in front of him, the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty all smiled, is this the on-the-spot explanation of the word sitting and waiting to die?

"The Western devils are too stingy, how can we say that this is also a colony that they have been operating for nearly a hundred years, why are there only these few broken ships?"

"These broken ships are used for fart, and the Western devils might as well save some wood and build a few more big wooden beds to make their women lie more comfortably!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter on the deck.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan, the captain of the Tianxuan battleship, came over and said with a smile: "Okay, stop laughing and get ready to smash the field!" ”

Under the command of the flag of the flagship Taichang, the Ming fleet began to disperse and encircle, and pounced.

The sailors of each ship skillfully manipulated the battleship to take on a linear shape, while the flank guns fired a fierce shelling.

In the face of the Ming fleet, which was about to come and fight, the Spanish warships were in a panic, and the shouts of early warning came and went.

The whistling of cannonballs flew overhead, and a swarthy cannonball pierced a Spanish warship accurately.

With a loud bang, wooden barrels, and the severed limbs of sailors flew into the sky with the fireworks, scattering in all directions.

Some Spanish officers had heard of the Ming Navy's linear tactics and had studied them, and they also set up a linear formation to meet the battle.

Several Spanish artillerymen, loaded with artillery, stubbornly returned fire, and puffs of white smoke rose from under the ship's side.

The shells of the Spanish battleships were basically solid shells, and some chain shells were also partly chained, and in the era of such huge guns and huge ships, it was difficult for solid shells to inflict a devastating blow on the warships of the Ming army.

Only chain bullets can be used slightly, and can cut through the sails of battleships, or deal massive damage to Ming soldiers by slicing.

However, the difference in the number of warships and firepower between the two sides was huge, and the Ming army used some flowering shells, and the Spanish battleships flew sawdust with one shot.

The huge impact force made the sawdust a sharp weapon for killing, and it was not that a Spanish soldier was covered in blood and died on the spot.

In just a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen puffs of black smoke rose around the harbor, mixed with flames that shot straight into the sky, and several Spanish warships below continued to explode, occasionally rushing into balls of fire.

The Spanish battleships put up little decent resistance, and were under fire suppression throughout.

The defenses laid out by the Spaniards on the shore were even more relaxed, and after several rounds of artillery shelling by the Ming army, four shore guns were destroyed, and one of the shells detonated the ammunition box, causing one cannon to fly up.

Fleet Commander Shen Shouchong immediately ordered the three warships Tianquan, Tianshu, and Xu Da to sail into the Manila shipyard to conduct a landing operation, and the remaining warships carried out targeted shelling of the designated targets.

In the second wave of attacks, the Ming naval fleet cleanly took out the remaining shore defense guns, surrounded several Spanish fleets and forcibly beat them.

One of the poems, the Spanish battleship shook violently as it was blown up, and finally slowly sank in billowing black smoke.

On the battleship of the Ming army, a burst of cheers broke out, and the Ming gunners on the deck worked harder to load the shells.

Under the merciless blow, the Spanish battleships continued to sink, and the remaining two finally slowly raised the white flag.
