Chapter 898: The Invisible Battlefield

The ministers thought that the emperor would definitely celebrate in a big way, but they never thought that Wanli would issue an order to cancel all activities for the New Year.

But they are very stupid and naΓ―ve to think that Wanli is self-aware, and they know that this is not something to celebrate.

They really scoff at this, and there are even many people who impeach Ye Mengxiong for personal vendettas, and blame the Ningxia Rebellion and the Banzhou Rebellion on Guo Dan's head.

There are also insinuations in this, and by the way, Wanli was criticized.

I also have to admit that these ministers are really powerful, and they are worthy of experiencing the tempering of Baguwen, and they analyze this matter from all angles, and they really have some truth.

In fact, this is the ability to take the scientific examination, a short sentence, a hundred candidates can write a hundred explanations.

They are not afraid of offending the emperor, the Ming Dynasty is more popular to admonish, and many ministers are really not for power, not for profit, but for fame.

If you don't say a few words to the emperor, it seems that you have no ability.

Of course, that's what they do.

It's a pity that there is a lack of interaction, and Wanli doesn't see them, and the twists and turns handed over are all dead in the sea, as if they are entertaining themselves.

But they also had a good time.

Just be happy.

Until the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, everyone had just gotten up, and was about to worship the ancestors and worship the Buddha, when the eunuch came to knock on the door.

A beautiful piece of music is served.

It was a gift from the emperor.

It's really ingenious.

But no surprises, only nausea.

Suddenly, the joy of the New Year disappeared without a trace.

Everyone also realized that this matter was far from over, and the emperor remembered it in his heart.

The real success or failure is this year, not last year.

Some ministers thought they had a clear conscience and just laughed it off, while many were terrified and feared that the emperor would liquidate them.

Under the calm atmosphere of the capital, there is actually a turbulent undercurrent.

At this time, the South China Sea is in stark contrast to the capital, the capital is white, and the South China Sea is sunny, the capital is turbulent, and the South China Sea, everything appears on the sea.

This is a time of turbulence.

Boom Boom!

Bang bang bang!

With the sound of artillery, the Battle of Penghu has begun.

Martin, the governor of Luzon, led an army of 5,000 troops to invade Penghu from Dagou Harbor (Kaohsiung Harbor).

They landed very smoothly in Dagou Harbor, after all, the local people are currently some natives, although the people are fierce, but in the face of the strong ships and guns of the Franco army, it is still difficult to resist.

However, when they attacked Tainan, they encountered very tenacious snipers.

"Impossible! That's impossible! ”

Martin excitedly shouted to his lieutenant, "As for those wild monkeys, they can only play with bamboo, we have all seen this, how can they have muskets?" ”

The adjutant said: "Your Excellency the Governor, we did encounter a very powerful army, they have a large number of muskets, and the military discipline is very strict, it is completely different from the enemy we encountered before, could it be that the Ming sent troops to the rescue." ”

"It's even more unlikely."

Martin said excitedly: "If the Ming Dynasty sends troops to Penghu, we can't know nothing, you go and check it out for me immediately, I don't want to fight a war where I don't even know who the enemy is." ”

"Yes."

Unbeknownst to them, they were facing an elite Japanese army that had quietly entered the Penghu area in the form of Japanese pirates for a few months, and the vanguard army was originally going to invade Korea.

It's just that after learning of Tianjin Wei's battle plan, Governor Konishi immediately asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi to go south to capture Penghu first, and invade the Ming Dynasty from the south with partial divisions, which made it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to take care of it.

And President Konishi is here to command in person.

"My lord, the other party is obviously unprepared, this is the best time for us to counterattack."

An officer walked long to Konishi.

"We're not here to fight the Franciscans." Governor Konishi shook his head and said: "If I can unite with the Franco, then we will have enough strength to invade the Ming Dynasty from the south, forcing the Ming to send a large army to defend, so that they will be difficult to take care of North Korea, as long as the Ming does not send troops, North Korea will not be able to resist our army at all, and when we can occupy Korea, the future lord will be stationed in the Central Plains, it will be just around the corner." ”

At this moment, a samurai entered the tent, "Lord Qiqi, half a month ago, our people found that the fleet from Zhangzhou was about to arrive in Luzon. ”

"Siege Wei to save Zhao! Looks like we're right! ”

Governor Konishi laughed, and told his subordinates: "We will soon start negotiations with the Franco, and during this period, you must be kind to the residents here, and let them think that we are here to help them, that Nakahara has a good saying, win the hearts of the people and win the world, if the hearts of the people here are towards us, even if we cooperate with the Francois people, they will not be able to take Penghu from us." ”

"Hey!"

......

Manila!

In the harbor, a blonde Frangifer looked at a large fleet in the distance and immediately shouted to his companions: "Look, what is that?" ”

His companion couldn't help but scold, "Damn, where is this fleet? ”

They panicked.

Because this is the emptiest time in Manila, if you are attacked at this time, it will be really unlucky!

Immediately mobilized in the port.

When the fleet approached, a big cannibal said, "Don't worry, it's Mr. Wu's fleet." ”

Frangi asked again, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure."

The Great Cannibal nodded.

"This damn businessman is really scared to death."

Fran Jiren breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Ask someone to inform Mr. Wu." ”

"Yes."

But soon they realized that this was not quite right, because the fleet suddenly unfolded, and it did not seem to be about to land, but like ......!

"Not good! It's the enemy, it's the enemy. ”

Francis, who was familiar with naval warfare, suddenly came to his senses and shouted frantically.

But it was too late.

On deck.

A pregnant woman with a big belly, looking at the port not far away, ordered: "Fire!" ”

Before the words fell, an old woman came out and said, "Okay, okay, you've played enough with your majesty, let's go in quickly." ”

β€œ.....!”

The pregnant woman closed her eyes slightly and asked, "Mapo, why aren't you afraid that I will kill you." ”

Ma Po laughed and said, "Have you ever seen a pregnant woman kill the only stable woman around her?" I warn you, giving birth is very painful, and if you offend me, I will make you hurt even more. ”

Pregnant woman cowardly!

Boom Boom!

The guards in the harbor stared blankly at a row of flying black cannonballs, which landed unmistakably around them.

None of them hit.

But the sudden attack still scared the guards of the harbor into disarray.

Several Francos immediately organized their soldiers to fight back.

Boom Boom!

The harbor batteries also immediately fired a round of artillery in response.

The hit rate is also very impressive.

It's still so embarrassing to have artillery in these years.

The two sides went back and forth, and not even an ant was killed.

But the scene was unusually lively.

However, at this moment, a cavalry composed of dozens of people suddenly appeared on the south side of the port, although the number was extremely limited, but the defenders of the port did not expect that there was an enemy army hiding here.

This is a personal life!

Primo, the lieutenant governor of Manila, seemed to have been disturbed by the movement of the port, and ran to the city walls with his men.

"Damn, what the hell is that?"

As soon as he arrived at the city wall, Primo had no time to set his sights on the harbor when he saw smoke billowing from the Han Chinese settlement in the distance.

One of the missionaries beside him said, "Could it be their Han Chinese New Year ceremony?" ”

Primo almost got angry, "I've never seen this kind of ritual in all my years here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw some widows running towards him in confusion, and he finally realized what the hell it was, and immediately shouted, "Close the gates, close the gates, close the gates." ”

The adjutant beside him said, "My lord, if the city gates are closed, we will not be able to support the port. ”

Primo opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "If you don't want to be eaten by those Han people, you'd better go and close the city gate immediately, and then hold on until the governor returns." ”

"Yes."

He knew how many Han people there were, and if he rushed out, it would be no different from sending him to death.

They made a fatal mistake, on the one hand, they relied on trade with the Ming Dynasty and demanded that Ming merchants sell goods here, but on the other hand, they doubled down on the Han Chinese and surrounded them in residential areas outside the city.

But they never expected that the Jinyi Guards had already infiltrated, and there were hundreds of Jinyi Guards hidden in the residential area, and they took advantage of the panic of the local Han people to unite people's hearts, and when the cannon sounded in the port, the Jinyi Guards hiding in it immediately cleared all the surrounding guards.

That's their specialty.

As soon as the banner was raised, a rabble was immediately formed.

"Dick! Dick! ”

Tong Li, who came to answer the call, shouted at the team.

"Head! I'm here! ”

I saw a greasy uncle, squeezed out of the crowd, it was Wu Guansheng.

"Go according to the plan, remember, don't go near the city walls, Franz is not a vegetarian with artillery." ”

He had secretly observed the defense of Malaysia City before, and it was really like an iron bucket, and with this flesh and blood, he would not be able to enter it at all.

There are only two or three thousand Franji people here, and in the face of tens of thousands of Han people, they can only rely on the city wall to defend, and Tong Li has not even arranged a plan to attack Malaysia City.

"Save! Save! ”

Wu Guansheng immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, take your weapons and follow me." ”

I saw that the vast number of Han people were scrambling to pick up arms, the sound of killing shook the sky, this person is not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, this year, they have been kept here like pigs, and the anger has already burned in the chest.

Tong Li, Wu Guansheng and other clean brocade guards, with this group of rabble, divided into three routes, and killed the stronghold and port outside the city.

Although it is a rabble, it can't stand the crowd.

The elite of key Manila were sent to attack Penghu.

The battle lasted only half a day, and all of Manila fell except for the city of Malaysia.

Of course, killing is inevitable.

After all, they are all rabble, and after holding back for so long and being afraid for so long, there is no way to stop it.

The whole of Manila is littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

on the port.

"Head, that's... Is that Sanniang? ”

Chen Xusheng asked in a trembling voice.

Tong Li also looked confused, but nodded slightly.

Thump!

Chen Xusheng knelt down.

I saw him kneeling on the sand, pounding the sand, and crying, "Why? Why is this happening? ”

Yang Feixu stepped forward, didn't dare Chen Xusheng, hugged his fist to Tong Li, and said, "Head!" The plan has changed, and we must rush to Penghu immediately to support the Franciscans. ”

Tong Li frowned and said, "Why? ”

Yang Feixu said: "Because compared to the Franco, the Japanese are more threatening. ”

"Sanniang! Who got it, and who got it? ”

Chen Xusheng suddenly jumped up on the spot, came to Yang Feixu, and asked with tears in his eyes.

Yang Feixu said coldly: "What do you have to do with it?" ”

Wu Guansheng stared at the stomach and said, "It looks like Guo Dan?" ”

Mapo was surprised: "This little brother has good eyesight, which can be seen." ”

"Shut up!"

Yang Feixu was embarrassed and glared at Ma Po angrily.

Chen Xusheng gritted his teeth and said, "Guo Dan, you bastard, Lao Tzu is going to kill you." ”
