The naval battle on Lubang Island lasted about two hours from the beginning to the end.

On the sea, a large number of Ming warships were scattered, rescuing the soldiers who fell into the sea, dragging the damaged warships to the shore. Of course, the Dutch and their warships, but not rescue, but prisoners.

Of the thirty Dutch warships and fifty transports, only one battleship escaped, still damaged. In addition to the sunken, there were three battleships and twelve transports that were forced to surrender without damage; In addition, there are eight warships that can still be repaired, and fourteen transport ships.

On the Portuguese side, one battleship was sunk and five were damaged. This is also thanks to Antony, the governor of Batavia, the Netherlands, who did not dare to entangle with the Portuguese warships after discovering the appearance of the Ming navy, and wanted to escape immediately, otherwise if he continued to fight, Portugal's losses would be even more.

As for the Ming Navy, if you don't count the loss of arson ships, then no warships were sunk, and there were fifty-six damaged warships, most of which were damaged in order to intercept the breakthrough of Dutch warships, regardless of the artillery fire when they hit the past.

On Lubang Island, all the generals have come to Lu Xiangsheng and told them about their battle situation.

This battle was fought beautifully, and it was a very good start. Every general's face was full of smiles. Even Anders of Portugal is grinning.

For them Portuguese, the losses were still a bit heavy. However, after so many years, the breath that has been bullied by the Dutch has finally come out, so cool!

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng is also happy, but he has also fought a lot of victories, and he has also experienced wars of greater significance than this. Therefore, he was the first to return to normal. As soon as he began to give military orders, the navy immediately rested, and contacted the Ming outpost on the other side of Manila Bay and the surviving Ming civilians to prepare for the second phase of the war.

After deploying this, he ordered: "Take the slave chief!" ”

When this military order was handed down, Antony, the governor of Batavia, the Dutch, was escorted to Lu Xiangsheng.

In a desperate situation, Anthony chose to surrender, so he did not die in the naval battle that had just ended.

At this time, he was escorted by two Ming soldiers and took him all the way to Lu Xiangsheng's side, Anthony watched the Ming soldiers stand straight one by one, motionless, all the standard equipment, and there was a sense of elite in his face, and he had to sigh in his heart.

This empire in the Far East is indeed not comparable to the ordinary natives. It can even be said that it is not much worse than the regular armies of Europe! With so many troops, once this huge empire declares war, even if it does not lose this battle, the final result will definitely be that the Netherlands will not be able to gain a foothold in the South Seas.

He sighed all the way, and soon arrived in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

Anthony straightened his shirt, coughed, and was about to speak, but felt a bump in the crooks of his legs, and then his body involuntarily knelt down, and at the same time heard the shouts of Ming soldiers behind him.

Although he didn't understand, he could roughly guess what it meant to make him kneel.

Immediately, he struggled and shouted: "You can't do this to me, I am the Dutch governor in Batavia, the admiral, and you should give me decent treatment......"

The two soldiers of the Ming army in the back, no matter what he was shouting, immediately stepped forward, pressed his shoulders with their hands, and did not let him get up.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't understand, he naturally had an interpreter to convey it to him, and after understanding what Hongyi said, he couldn't help but sneer: "The prisoners dare to mention it, but they don't know the rules of my Daming?" ”

Speaking of this, he clasped his fists with both hands and gestured in the direction of Annan and said: "The emperor once said that I am very hospitable, and my friends come from afar, so I am very happy, and I am naturally entertained with wine; However, if you come with bad intentions, you will naturally be entertained with your fists. ”

After finishing speaking, he put down his hands, stared at Anthony and sneered: "You Hongyi invaded my Ming frontier, killed my Ming people, and dared to join forces with the Japanese to fight against my Ming Dynasty, and now you are joining forces with Luzon Xiyi to fight against my Ming Dynasty, and you still want decent treatment?" ”

The translator on the side will naturally translate Lu Xiangsheng's words to Anthony.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care how this Xiyi would answer, and immediately shouted: "Twenty palms, let him sober up!" ”

After slapping his mouth, he also wanted to ask this Xiyi about the situation in Batavia. This is what the emperor told him before leaving.

"Yes!" When the soldiers of the Ming army heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, of course they responded loudly, and then simply stepped forward, one grabbed Anthony, and the other moved, giving him the "decency" he deserved!

"Crackling" beating, the Ming army soldiers hated the harm of these Xiyi to their compatriots and comrades, of course, they would not show mercy to their subordinates, after twenty mouths, Anthony lost a few teeth, and a lot of blood flowed.

Seeing him look so embarrassed, Anders gloated and laughed from the side. In the South Seas, now it's cool, dare to be the enemy of the Ming Empire, now you have to bear it!

At this time, he had forgotten that they Portugal had also thought about being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but they turned around quickly after being taught a lesson, otherwise, the fate of Anthony would also be the fate of their Portuguese.

After the fight, Lu Xiangsheng stared at the slave chief and shouted coldly: "How many troops do you still have in your lair, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Anthony's head was beaten a little dazed, and after a while, his eyes were focused, and after hearing the interpreter's relay, he didn't struggle anymore, just knelt there and replied: "Batavia has not many troops, only a hundred." But there are five hundred servants in the army, and in addition, you men, women, and children, all in all, are five thousand three hundred and twenty-one......."

Hearing him say this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know why, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Anthony said at the end, tried to tilt his head, looked at the tall Ming official in front of him and said, "If I can't return to Batavia in a month's time, then the subordinates who stay there will carry out my military order and kill all of you Mingmen!" ”

After he finished saying this, the translator was stunned, he didn't expect this slave chief to have this hand, and for a while, he forgot to translate.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that after Anthony finished speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he knew that he would definitely not say good things. When he saw the interpreter staring at the slave chief with stunned eyes, he knew that he must not be wrong.

Sure enough, at this time, the translator had come to his senses and immediately conveyed Anthony's threat to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng listened, and didn't speak for a while, just stared at Anthony coldly.

And Anthony also tried to tilt his head, and also looked back at Lu Xiangsheng without showing weakness.

During this year's time, especially the men of the Wa State fled back to Batavia, telling him that the Ming army was much stronger than before. Soon after, his subordinates in Taiwan were defeated by the Ming army and annihilated, and Annam was captured by the Ming army. Anthony felt that he knew too little about the Eastern Empire.

So he began to pay attention to everything about this vast empire, including the history and customs of the past, as well as the current emperor and everything he could learn.

Coincidentally, Anthony heard the reputation of the current emperor of the Ming Kingdom who loved the people like a son, and also knew the reason why the Ming army attacked the Spaniards in Luzon. After analyzing it, he left himself a back hand, that is, to use the Ming people of Batavia as a threat to prevent accidents.

Therefore, his words are not intimidation, they are indeed true.

That's the same, he didn't desperately flee, but chose to surrender.

At this time, there was only the sound of the sea breeze blowing the flags hunting, and the sound of the Ming soldiers laughing in the distance.

Anders, Zheng Chenggong and others, looking at Anthony and Lu Xiangsheng, all did not speak. One difference is that Anders looked a little surprised, while Zheng Chenggong and others were angry.

After a long while, Lu Xiangsheng shouted coldly: "The official remembers you, take him down, treat him well, don't let him be idle." ”

Of course, the soldiers of the Ming army heard the meaning of his words, which almost meant that capital crimes could be avoided and living crimes could not be escaped. So, they immediately responded with a loud voice, and escorted Anthony down.

When Zheng Chenggong saw it, he stepped out and asked angrily, "My lord, do you really want to let him go?" The last general is willing to lead his troops to Batavia to rescue the people! ”

Whether it can be rescued or not, it's hard to say! And there is a high probability that it will not be saved.

Lu Xiangsheng listened, shook his head and said: "The most important thing now is the Xiyi of Luzon!" As for Batavia, the lives of so many Ming people are at stake, and this official will report to the emperor, and the emperor will decide. As for this slave chief, even if he can escape and ascend to heaven this time, he will not have a good life! ”

In fact, he was already sure in his heart that the emperor would definitely let this slave chief go. The reason why I want to tell the emperor is also to maintain the emperor's reputation of loving the people like a son, and the emperor will decide to let this slave chief go for the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, at least the people of the Ming Dynasty who have been rescued will be grateful to the emperor.

And this slave chief, Lu Xiangsheng can also imagine that if he uses this kind of trick to deal with Daming, his fate will definitely be miserable! Even if he can escape this time, the emperor's sentence "Although it is far away, it will be punished" is definitely not a joke.

Just as he was thinking about it, he listened to his subordinates tell him what to do with the more than 300 Japanese warriors who were captured.

In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng was very simple and ordered these widows to be killed on the spot, and the corpses were thrown into the sea to feed the fish!

Anders listened from the sidelines, and couldn't help but wonder if these widows were unlucky enough, and if they had spoken before dealing with the Dutch governor, maybe they wouldn't have died.

But now it's useless to assume, the life and death of these widows will not have anything to do with Anders, if they die, they will die!

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng led the navy to Manila and began the second phase of the war.
