The Spaniards retreated, the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom came, tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Minfu landed ashore, and Hong Tianpao and Zheng Zhi set foot on the land of Cebu Island together.

"Brother, you are unlucky this time, why were you suddenly beaten by the fleet of the Tessie coalition?" Hong Tiancang looked at Cebu Island with high spirits, thinking that he would receive Little Luzon Island and Manila Island in the future, the main part of the two Luzon Islands was the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he was excited, which was also the main reason why he sent troops to help Zheng Zhi.

Otherwise, with Zheng Zhi once being the main representative of the rebellion against the Huaxia Kingdom, and also organized a sneak attack on the Huaxia Fleet, he didn't want to deal with Zheng Zhi about this matter, everyone in the Nanyang Kingdom didn't say, you trade and do business on my territory, I turned a blind eye, anyway, it was all about making money and collecting taxes, and I didn't have anything, but when it came to the general direction, especially in the relationship with the Huaxia Kingdom, Hong Tiancang was very cautious.

Before sending troops to help Zheng Zhi, he personally talked to Xue Hong, the governor of Penglaizhou, who was once stationed in the state of Lu, which was equivalent to the consul of the consulate, and talked with Gu Yuesheng, the governor of Penglaizhou, who came to talk about it, Gu Yuesheng reported to Yao Qisheng, who was in charge of diplomacy, and Tang Dianfeng, the deputy prime minister, Tang Dianfeng reported Zhang Qiang's matter, Zhang Qiang agreed, and he sent troops.

This is not to say that all their diplomacy and military affairs have to listen to the Huaxia Empire, but he thinks that this is a big matter, and he must communicate with the Huaxia Empire, otherwise he will do something wrong, and the garrison in the First Fleet of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the garrison of the Huaxia Empire will clean him up in minutes.

You can make money from the Chinese Empire, you can talk to the Chinese Empire, and even Zhang Qiang, you can make your own decisions to hit any target that the Chinese Empire can't look down on, and even the goal of the Huaxia Army is close to it, and you can rob the Huaxia Army of the credit, but you can't go beyond the bottom line of any emperor and the basic interests of the Chinese Empire.

Dealing with the emperor of the Chinese Empire for more than ten years, Hong Tianpao made these clear, knew what to do and what not to do, although Zheng Zhi attacked the Chinese Empire, but later the Huaxia Empire saw that he was close, the weakest, but did not fight him, and watched him go to trade secretly with himself, Hong Tianpao knew that Zheng Zhi was actually a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, so he took a lot of effort before this to find out the attitude of the Huaxia Empire towards him to help the Nanyang Kingdom and where he had interests.

After getting the tacit approval of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Hong Tiancang brought soldiers and horses, most of his low-level warships, merchant ships, and warships to help Zheng Zhi.

There are many islands in this area, and there are islands within a radius of six or seven thousand nautical miles, and it would be a wonderful thing if we could cooperate with the Ryukyu Kingdom and do business in the future.

With such a big benefit, he will come out to help Zheng Zhi, otherwise he would rather fight the Japanese country that is struggling to survive than come here, he is confused, in his opinion, there are more forces here, and it is more chaotic, and he will be loaded into it if he doesn't make trouble, how good it is in the north, they can't beat Japan and the Great Qing Kingdom on land, and they can't beat the Ryukyu Kingdom with a strong sailor, at least they can protect themselves, and here, they are all goods with a strong sailor, and they are all island countries.

Hong Tianpao and Zheng Zhi walked in the ruins of Cebu Island, the port, residential areas, cities, and villages were all turned into ruins, and there were corpses everywhere, just cleaning up the port, it took two days for the soldiers and horses and people of the Ryukyu Kingdom to go ashore, it took three days for the corpses in the city, and it took a whole week for the entire city to be cleaned up.

The Ryukyu army and the people of the Nanyang Kingdom had to live in the wild fields.

The soldiers and horses of the Nanyang Kingdom gathered back less than 2,000 soldiers and horses, the servant army fled, the natives fled, only the Han homeland was difficult to leave, and after fleeing, they came back to see their houses and shops, knowing that the soldiers and horses of the Nanyang Kingdom came back, so they all came back from outside, but there were less than 30,000 people, there were 300,000 Han people on Cebu Island, after this battle, some people fled far away, and some people died in the artillery fire of both sides, or were killed by the Taixi coalition army, or were killed by the local natives.

The soldiers and horses of the Nanyang Kingdom were not idle, and asked the Ryukyu army to borrow 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Zheng Zhi sent out to sweep away the indigenous tribes that had participated in helping the Taixi people in all directions, and another massacre began.

The indigenous tribes around Cebu City were wiped out.

Indigenous tribes in the direction of Leyte fled to Leyte.

The British and Dutch retreated from Cebu.

Instead of sending a fleet to support the Spaniards, they heard of the arrival of the Ryukyu Kingdom army and immediately retreated from Cebu Island.

Zheng Zhi sat in the big tent dejectedly, Zheng Keshuang died a miserable death, he was stabbed by the Spanish soldiers more than a dozen times, and all the soldiers around him were killed.

If he hadn't escaped quickly, he might have ended up like Zheng Keshuang.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zheng Zhi, who had already expected to be undefendable, drove a clipper boat from the bay where he was hiding, and took hundreds of his own soldiers out to sea on a boat to go to the Ryukyu Kingdom, he couldn't go back to Australia, because Zheng Jing of Australia would not allow his brother who could threaten his throne to live in the world, and the Nanyang Kingdom thousands of nautical miles away was okay, Zheng Jing couldn't reach it, but once he went back, his result was that he was inexplicably assassinated, as a veteran of the struggle for the throne, he knew that going back was death, and there was no other way.

The exile in the Ryukyu Kingdom is good to be a rich man, and when he returns to Australia, he is looking for his own death.

"What do you do next?" Hong Tianpao asked.

Zheng Zhi shook his head helplessly, "What can I do?" Little Luzon Island was taken by you, Manila was taken by you, I promised you, but I didn't do it, you can completely deny it, but I don't have anything to use to repay the promises I owe, and now it's still a question of whether I can keep the island. ”

"The Spaniards retreated, the Dutch and the British also retreated, we not only kept Cebu Island, but also took the territory of the Spaniards, although Leyte Island was not recovered, but I believe that it will not be long before you can get it back, you can at least have Cebu Island and Leyte Island, if not, I will give you Mindanao as well, and there is Palawan Island next to it, the territory of the Huaxia Army, it should be possible to protect yourself." Hongtian cannonway.

"By the way, there is also Gegong Island, Zheng Keshuang is dead, but after all, he is still the property of your Zheng family, you can send people to contact those old courtiers of your Zheng family, with their help, you can smoothly accept where there are still 50,000 or 60,000 Han soldiers and horses, 200,000 Japanese servant troops, 100,000 Southeast Asian servant troops, and 560,000 Han people, Japanese, and the indigenous people in Southeast Asia who have been assimilated by us."

Zheng Zhi suddenly felt a light in his eyes, originally he thought that he only had two thousand soldiers and horses, no sailors, no soldiers, no property, the original property of the Nanyang Kingdom was transferred by the merchants, most of them were snatched away by the Spaniards and the Dutch, now I think about it, where is Zheng Keshuang on Gogong Island still has a lot of strength, especially the sailor, although Zheng Keshuang was ambushed by the British and Dutch on the way to come, and lost a fleet, but it was a fleet that came to help, where is there at least a hundred warships and warships on Gogong Island, In addition, there are almost 300 merchant ships, and where Zheng Keshuang still has a mansion, wife and children, and property, and now those things are all his own.

As a king, he wouldn't be so pedantic and say that it wasn't his own, it was his nephew's.
