Xie Jiucheng saw that Xiao Chen said the origin of his name in front of Niu Jinxing, and he knew that Niu Jinxing's status was quite high, so he narrated his affairs to Niu Jinxing.

It turned out that Xie Jiucheng's ancestors were Jinyiwei, and the first generation of Xie Laoqi himself was the personal soldier of Yanwang Zhu Di, and later transferred to Jinyiwei as a small banner, when the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He went to the West, there were dozens of Jinyiwei small banners with the team, and they were all original personal soldiers, and these people all had archives in Jinyiwei. Everywhere he goes, Zheng He will leave some people, including a small flag, which is responsible for everything in this place, Zheng He will leave them a number of activity funds, let them hide on the spot, in case of need, come out to cooperate, these small flags will have some Jinyi Wei special tamed means and martial arts, and there are some different code words, these code words are different according to the level. In this way, the small flags in various places have taken root on the spot, passed down from generation to generation, and have become the small flags of the Ming Dynasty. In order not to attract the attention of the locals, most of them marry local women, which is also a better way to hide their backgrounds, and after several generations, some of them are now exactly the same as the locals. However, the education they received was a special way of Jinyiwei, and their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty was still the same as that of their ancestors.

It's a pity that since the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He went to the West seven times, the policy of the Ming Dynasty has changed, and the sea ban strategy has been implemented, so that these small flags have lost their due value, but these small flags don't know these things, and they are still passed down from generation to generation, and Xie Jiucheng's ancestor is only one of them.

After listening to Xie Jiucheng's story, Niu Jinxing sighed, he told Xie Jiucheng that today's Long Live Lord is heroic, more courageous than the grandfather and grandfather Cheng of the year, although he is only in his twenties this year, but he is talented, omniscient, and omniscient. Just last year, the Dutch fleet was completely annihilated by General Qi Jin's Ming fleet, and not even a single one of them ran away.

Xie Jiucheng listened to Niu Jinxing's words, his heart was surging, and he thought about how powerful the Ming Empire should be, not only full of endless yearning, but also eager to go back immediately to see the motherland he had never met, and the dream in his heart.

Since there were already Jinyi Guard's left-behind personnel here, Xiao Chen didn't have to stay here to be responsible, it was enough to have Xie Jiucheng to cover. Next, Niu Jinxing told Xie Jiucheng about his plan and asked Xie Jiucheng if he had any better ideas.

Xie Jiucheng said: "According to Mr. Niu's intentions, the emperor may send troops here soon, so you can leave some people to set up an office, and lease a courtyard in the name of the Daming Royal Trading Firm to cover the activities in the form of trade in goods." Of course, I also have a suggestion that is to establish a base on a nearby island, not to occupy an island in the name of pirates in the form of a Ming army, and then continue to develop its power, which may be better, anyway, there are countless pirates in the South Seas, even if there is one more, no one will care. The specific location I think can choose Zhenghe Island a little further south, where the location is very good, if it is developed well, it can control the transportation and trade on both sides, it is an absolutely strategic location. ”

It seems that Jinyiwei is definitely not a vegetarian, and he will only brutally suppress and bully ordinary people as described in the history books. Maybe it was at the beginning of the preparation, the choices were all temporary elites, in short, Xie Jiucheng's performance surprised Niu Jinxing. Of course, there are some things that Niu Jinxing can not call the shots himself, although he is Zhu Youxiao's cronies, this does not mean that he can directly make the right to command the army, he can negotiate with Chen Nanjiao about this matter, if Chen Nanjiao agrees, it is not impossible to do this, "will be outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it" is the truth. Regarding Zhu Youxiao's character, a guy like Niu Jinxing still knows a lot, and he will definitely agree to this arrangement.

Then Niu Jinxing invited Chen Nanjiao over again, and the four of them discussed this matter as a plan, Chen Nanjiao is not Yu Hualong, he is not as impulsive as Yu Hualong, and he is not as bold as Xiao Hailong. If Yu Hualong might stay directly, leave all the warships disguised as cargo ships, quickly wipe out the little pirates of this generation, and directly occupy Zhenghe Island, as for Xiao Hailong's question of asking him to be responsible for Niu Jinxing's safety, I'm afraid he will throw it in the back of his head, and find Qi Jin if he has something to do, Lao Tzu is in charge of the war, Niu Jinxing will buy the pot himself. Chen Nanjiao considered that he must be responsible for sending Niu Jinxing back to Daming safely, as for the occupation here, it was secondary, he was not very good at grasping this kind of momentary strategic intent, and steadiness was his biggest characteristic.

Chen Nanjiao's final choice was to leave ten ordinary warships, which would be enough to deal with the nearby pirates, and it was impossible to predict the speed of development. Looking at Xie Jiucheng with a longing face, Niu Jinxing's eyes looked at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, in fact, he didn't dare to call the shots, and then he raised his head and looked at Niu Jinxing firmly: "Mr. Niu, no matter how many warships you decide, how many warships to stay, I decided to stay here to command, please Mr. in front of Lord Luo." ”

Niu Jinxing gritted his teeth and said: "Ten warships are left, five battleships with 'Iron Bull' are left, the soldiers are left with the ships, and all the spare ammunition is left, Xiao Chen is in charge of commanding, and in case of trouble, discuss with Jiucheng, and the rest of the people will return to China with me immediately, and wait for me to ask for guilt from Lord Banzai." ”

Actually, they really can't decide on things like this, fortunately, Niu Jinxing knows Zhu Youxiao's character, and it is possible to go back and scold a few sentences, but it is definitely not possible to blame, thinking that Zhu Youxiao likes people with pioneering spirit very much, even if there are some transgressions, they will not be punished too much.

Niu Jinxing and they went back to China, and Xiao Chen, who was left, began to fight, this guy is worthy of being born in a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, extremely ferocious, after landing on Zheng He Island, he did not leave any alive everywhere he went, except for those with Chinese blood, all of them were killed, and the population on this island was not too much, so after Xiao Chen led the fleet to kill it, there were only Chinese people left. Then he set up lookouts at both ends of Zhenghe Island, and all the fleets that settled here, whether merchant ships or pirate ships, as long as they spent the night on the island, were all quietly killed by them, and soon there were many Chinese living on the island, because during the robbery, the Chinese were left on the island. After clearing the main island, the nearby inhabitable islands were cleared again, and then they completely established themselves in the area.

While clearing the nearby islands, they also encountered a number of small groups of pirates, who were shot in line with guns according to the usual way of fighting in the gang, and as a result, the pirates were all wiped out because of this method of fighting. As for the mortars, they were almost useless at all, this weapon was reserved for the Spanish Navy, Xiao Chen waited for them to come and encircle and suppress, and they also designed tactics to see if they could take the bait, as for attacking Manila. Xiao Chen didn't think about it.

Finally, after waiting for two months, the Spanish naval fleet that came to clear the army arrived, there were about thirteen warships, several times larger than the Ming army, and Xie Jiucheng had already sent the information to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen led them into the harbor with ten ships painted with pirate skulls, then blocked the exit with warships equipped with "Iron Bulls", and bombarded them with mortars around the Spanish warships, and finally annihilated the thirteen warships in the harbor, and most of the soldiers on the warships surrendered. Since they did not land, most of the Spanish infantry on the ship were directly killed, and when these prisoners were taken into the ravine, Xiao Chen ordered the mountain pass to be blocked, all killed, and avenged the dead Chinese.

The captured weapons and ammunition were not matched with those used by the Ming soldiers, so they were distributed to the Chinese on the island. Thirteen warships were not damaged to the load-bearing structure, and all of them could be used after repair, as for how to repair them without mechanical means, don't forget the Chinese pirates who were captured earlier, repairing these warships that were smashed superstructure is not a difficult task for them at all, what kind of dock do pirates have, whether it looks good or not, it is easy to use, so these are not problems. As for who to let drive these warships, they are all Chinese, and under Xiao Chen's *, there is no one who is not afraid of these pirates, and they are soon full of personnel.
