It stands to reason that the current 'New Deal' is in dire straits, struggling, and all forces that can be united should be united, but Donglin and the previous Chu Party, Kun Party, etc. were subconsciously excluded by Zhu Xu, even if they declined, after all, the party is full of henchmen and the relationship is complicated, and it is not necessarily the help of the 'New Deal'.

Bi Ziyan's idea should not be to overturn or finalize the case for Donglin, but to sort out all the 'big and important cases' since Chongzhen, untie everyone's ideological baggage, and unite to promote the 'New Deal'......

'Master Bi must have seen some of my intentions......

Zhu Xu whispered to himself, his journey south is also a kind of declaration, an interpretation of the past, a kind of cutting.

He groaned and said, "Well, since there is Master Bi staring, there shouldn't be any problems, is there anything else?" ”

Cao Huachun said, "Nothing else matters, and the water situation has not changed much this year. ”

Just because there's no bad news doesn't mean it's good news.

Zhu Xu didn't dare to be careless, and said: "I order all localities to continue to pay attention, not to be careless, I will not return to Beijing for the time being, for everything that happens here, I must order the cabinet to be prepared, and if necessary, send weighty officials to inspect it." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said. The emperor's southward move this time is a reshaping of the surrounding relations, and now it has been basically completed, and the cabinet needs to do it with all its might.

For this 'negotiation', the Ming Dynasty was a 'huge pay', and the Satsuma Domain, Korea, and Ryukyu were all grateful to Dade, and after signing the 'treaty', they hurriedly returned to China and made preparations.

The Ming Dynasty only showed that they were 'helping', and had no intention of 'annexing', and they were all very happy to leave one after another.

Zhu Xu also made a good appearance, personally sent them on board, and sent someone to escort them away.

The two tribes of Mongolia, Horqin, Chahar, and Zhu Xu, also gave them enough face and sent them north.

The two of them were quite reluctant and full of thoughts, but they still left.

The Southeast Peninsula is even more impatient and rushing to leave. This time, Zhu Xu didn't bother to pay attention to it and let them leave - it won't be long before they will come back!

The rest are the captives of the Netherlands and Spain, these people, Zhu Xu did not plan to let them go, after all, there are still Spanish affairs that have not been resolved.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhu Xu was in Guang. East, Guangzhou. Walking around in the west, mainly to deal with the problem of 'alien' and sea trade, there will be two centers of sea trade in the future, one is the gold and silver village of Nanzhili, that is, the upper part of the later generations. The sea, one is wide. To the east, Jinyin Village is the core of East Asia, the meeting place of the Ryukyus, the Wa Kingdom, and Korea. The east is a geographical advantage, sea trade should be convenient, and it is also the most convenient to go to sea.

Zhu Xu intended to create a special zone again, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate, and he didn't have so much energy, so he could only take his time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is August.

Suddenly, a typhoon struck, pouring rain and winds, and half of the base was submerged.

Zhu Xu stood at the door, looking at the water that was close at hand and constantly surging up, and looked at the south with a frown.

Cao Huachun knew Zhu Xu's worries, and said softly: "Your Majesty, calculate the time, General Cao should have arrived a long time ago, and there should be a place to shelter from the rain." ”

Thousands of miles away, Zhu Xu knew that he didn't know that he was just as uneasy, pressed it in his heart, shook his head and said, "How is Annan's side?" ”

Cao Huachun took a notebook in his hand and handed it to Zhu Xudao: "Back to the emperor, Dolgon and Aobai united and raided Tai. Originally, then turned around and destroyed the Wu clan, and now Chen Bingtai. Twenty miles away, he confronted Zheng's army of 30,000. Zheng Zhilong's fleet had already landed in Nanding and went straight to Thang Long (i.e., He. Inside), the two-phase flank attack can be completed within three days to recover the entire territory of South Annan. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, Annan's elephant army was completely vulnerable in front of the Ming Dynasty artillery, and the Zheng clan had a full army of 100,000 troops, how could it be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty!

"Order Dolgon to speed up, the navy doesn't have to scruple, I want them to destroy the Ruan clan within ten days!" Zhu Xu said.

The two biggest separatist forces in Annam now are the Zheng clan and the Ruan clan, and there are some small countries in the south, and what Zhu Xu needs is to thunder and wipe out the Zheng clan and the Ruan clan and deter the Southeast Peninsula!

"Yes!" Cao Huachun said.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, his eyes looked at the south again.

'I hope nothing happens to Lao Cao,' he said to himself, ...... heart.

Push forward five days, and on Luzon, it is relatively calm, and the sea is only slightly undulating, and the same is true in Manila and Intraura.

Oquindo fled back with three ships, only to sink one on the way, bringing back only two and more than three hundred men.

Philippine Governor Acuña stood at the table, his eyes wide open as he looked at Okundo with a look of astonishment.

"What do you say? You failed and brought back only two battleships? Acuña was speechless in shock, no matter what, he shouldn't have been defeated so badly!

Okundo was now calm, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said in a hoarse and deep voice: "Akito is stronger than we thought, we just met unexpectedly on the sea, and then, defeated. ”

Acuña stood there, his expression constantly changing, and said, "Dutch, how are they?" ”

Okundo took another sip of wine, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I saw hundreds of warships in the Ming Kingdom, and more advanced cannons than us, and the Dutch will definitely not please ......"

Acuña's heart was inexplicably relieved, and he sat down slowly, looking pensive.

Their opponents at sea were the Dutch, and now they have only a few hundred left, and if the Dutch are also heavily damaged, then it doesn't matter.

The reason why Okundo can be so relaxed is also the same, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and said: "Okay, I will return to China tomorrow, before that, you have to find a way to stabilize the Philippines." ”

They used to attack with all their might, but now only more than 300 people have returned, which is their full strength, Oquindo wants to leave, and he will definitely take some of it, and the royal city of the Philippines is equivalent to empty.

Acuña sat there thoughtfully.

They Spain are different from the Dutch, as long as they don't lose here, it doesn't matter if they lose a little people, the Dutch are different, one or two thousand is a big loss for them, and they won't be able to mobilize people to Asia for a while.

"What do you think of Batavia?" Acuña looked up in a serious way.

Okundo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Orr shook his head and said, "There are damn treaty restrictions, and besides, outside of Europe, we are in a weak position. ”

Acuña showed a look of annoyance, and snorted coldly: "It's all to blame on the damned English, ruining our Armada......"

Oquindo wiped his beard and said, "Don't think too much, run the Philippines well." ”

Acuña shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Philippines can't build a big ship, and it has to be mobilized from the mainland, so I'm bothering you." ”

The current colonizers of Europe are keen on plundering overseas, and will build strong cities and fortresses in order to plunder, but they do not have the patience to 'develop industry'.

Oquindo muttered, "No problem. With that, he left.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao's fleet had arrived at Dagang, the southernmost and most important port in the Philippines, which he easily occupied, by the way, to avoid the current typhoon.

Inside the city, Liu Wentian looked at the wind and rain outside, and complained, "This city is so small that even the wind can't stop it." ”

Lai Daosheng accompanied Cao Wenzhao to look at the map of the Philippines inside, and said without raising his head: "Well, I have inquired, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and they are all uncivilized barbarians, and they can't build anything decent." ”

Cao Wenzhao looked at the map for a while, straightened up and said: "The typhoon will pass tonight at most, and then we will go all the way south along the west coast, and we will be able to reach Manila in three days at most." By the way, Khotan, how is the person you are looking for? ”

Liu Wentian turned around and said, "My lord, I have already found it, there are more than 100 merchants, and they are all very excited and want to come to meet your lordship." ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded and said: "Arrange it when the wind and rain are a little lesser, according to the domestic system, order one of them to be the county commander, take charge of everything, and leave three hundred people for him." After cleaning up the Spaniards, please ask the emperor to make specific arrangements. ”

Liu Wentian, it doesn't matter if you come to the Dao Sheng, anyway, the main force of the Francois has been completely wiped out, and they will take it over, and then everything will be dealt with by the cabinet.

The local natives, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty hated the Spanish colonists for a long time, and they were overjoyed to see the 'king coming south', and they came to express their 'support'.

After Cao Wenzhao announced the 'national treatment' of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was overjoyed, and they were extremely happy to set up all the management institutions such as the government under the command of Cao Wenzhao, and there were 300 elite soldiers to stay behind to escort them.

On the second day, Cao Wenzhao's fleet continued south along the west coast of the Philippines, and the target was Manila.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Liu Wentian said, "My lord, this Manila is hidden in a bay, just enough to drive straight into it, and catch them off guard!" ”

Lai Zongdao said: "My lord, in order to avoid trouble, why don't I take a small ship with a thousand people and sneak attack overnight, I will definitely be able to do miraculous feats!" ”

Including Cao Wenzhao, they were full of confidence, and the fleet of 120 ships went south majestically.

If it weren't for the lack of experience in going to sea, Zhu Xu hoped that they could bring more, promote the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the South China Sea, and reproduce the glory of the Yongle period!

However, there will be opportunities in the future, and now we still have to swallow the entire South Seas.

Cao Wenzhao put his hands behind his back and said ambitiously: "This battle must be dignified, the movement must be big, and the warship will directly sail into Manila Bay and deter it with artillery!" ”

Liu Wentian and Lai Zongdao immediately understood what Cao Wenzhao meant, and immediately said: "Yes!" ”

At this time, the Governor of the Philippines, Acuña, was still unaware of it, and was busy mobilizing manpower and redeploying the defense to prevent the natives from knowing the news and causing trouble.

Of course, he is now mobilizing all the local natives, and for safety, he also drove the Ming merchants out of Manila.

Manila, inside the Intramus.

Ankaya reported to Acuña: "There are 2,000 people in Manila, 1,000 people in the city, the yellow-skinned monkeys have been driven away, and you can sleep in peace." ”

Acuña smiled slightly and said, "Of course, the yellow-skinned monkey is too shrewd, there are tens of thousands of people in the Philippines, and now the Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful, we have to make some necessary preparations." ”

Ankaya looked at him quietly and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What do you think of killing all the yellow-skinned monkeys?" Acuña smiled with his chin folded in his hands.

Ankaya tilted her head and said, "You decide." ”

Acuña smiled more, as if he wanted to put on the most charming side, and said, "Okay, get ready, start in three days." ”
