Zheng Zhilong angrily watched Fan Mendi and the others walk out of the conference room, like that, as if he wanted to catch up and bite twice, but when the back of the last representative of the great powers disappeared outside the door, he sat down with a wicked smile and said proudly: "Hey, hey, hey, this kid will definitely not be able to sit still." “

Seeing this, the admirals present seized the opportunity to pat themselves on the back, and for a while, the entire conference room was full of all kinds of compliments, what is the prince's wisdom and martial arts, the prince's majesty and domineering, the prince's performance is really good, and so on.

Zheng Zhilong was enjoying this sycophant feast, and Zheng Chenggong beside him coughed very inappropriately and reminded: "Father, even if Fan Mendi can't sit still, there is nowhere to go!" “

His Royal Highness and Generalissimo of the Navy wanted to speak, and the generals naturally didn't dare to disturb him, and the conference room suddenly fell into absolute silence, Zheng Zhilong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Why is there no place to go, isn't it enough for him to toss the entire Nanyang and even the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty?" “

If others ask this, Zheng Chenggong will definitely ask rhetorically, do you have a long brain? But it was his father who asked this, and he had to patiently explain: "Father, what do you think, there is Xingcheng Port in the middle, and they don't dare to toss in the Southeast Peninsula; Luzon was also garrisoned by 100,000 troops of the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force, and they certainly did not dare to go; As for the southeast coast, not to mention the long distance, they have not yet found out the specific situation, and they dare not go, so where else can they go? “

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he frowned and sighed: "Yes, how is this good?" “

Zheng Chenggong said confidently: "They have nowhere to go, let's create a place for them to go, the emperor's trick to lure the snake out of the hole is very good." “

Zheng Zhilong said puzzledly: "Lead the snake out of the hole?" “

It's not that he doesn't have a brain, it's really that Zheng Chenggong has no head or tail in what he said, this 'snake' he knows is the Batavia Combined Fleet, where does this 'hole' refer to?

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong immediately explained: "We can withdraw the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force in Luzon and replace it with a few thousand recruits from the Reserve Corps of the Naval Division, do you think they will be fooled?" “

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he slapped the table and praised: "Okay, it's a good one to lure the snake out of the hole, Fan Mendi's pig brain will definitely be fooled!" “

Zheng Chenggong was frightened by his pat, and couldn't help complaining: "Father, you are all the prince's person, don't slap the table at every turn, it's unseemly." “

Zheng Zhilong smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, no way, I'm used to filming, Sen'er, didn't scare you, right?" “

Zheng Chenggong rolled his eyes and shouted directly outside the door: "Someone." “

Zheng Zhilong glanced at him suspiciously, and said in his heart: "Boy, you won't be so lacking in heart, right, didn't I just slap the table?" You won't ask someone to drag me out to play the board, I'm your father! “

In the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong's status is indeed far above Zheng Zhilong, but he doesn't have Zheng Zhilong's messy and unrealistic ideas, and when the guards answered, he immediately ordered: "Telegram to the Nanda Battalion, order the East China Sea Fleet to quickly carry the recruits of the 5,000 Naval Division Reserve Corps to Luzon to take over the defense, and then pull the Second Army of the Expeditionary Force to Xingcheng Port." In addition, let the Jinyi Guard spy release the news in Manila, saying that the Mughal Empire was in a tight war, and the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force was hastily dispatched to support. “

The guards took the order and left, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but pat Zheng Chenggong's shoulder vigorously, and praised: "Sen'er, yes, very general-like." “

Zheng Chenggong's eyes are rolling, they are almost in the sky, fortunately, the master has practiced, otherwise he will not be shot apart by you this time!

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Chenggong's expression, and immediately reacted, his shot was a little too heavy, he touched his palms awkwardly, and he didn't know what to say.

Zheng Chenggong asked with resentment: "Father, you are in charge of the deployment of materials in the Southeast Peninsula, have you all transferred the gunpowder, shells, and bullets needed in Goa?" “

The baggage required for the 600,000 army is indeed massive, so the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Nanyang Governor's Office are all busy, and the materials are generally transported by train from all over the Ming Dynasty to the port of Ayutthaya in Siam, and then transferred to Goa by the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet through the waterway.

As soon as the baby son asked, he immediately said without thinking: "The last batch of baggage has been loaded five days ago, and it is estimated that it will be sent to Goa at this time." “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he nodded, and shouted to the door: "Someone." “

Soon, another guard came in, and Zheng Chenggong directly ordered: "Send someone to notify the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet immediately, and rush to Xingcheng Port to assemble within ten days." “

After the guards took the order, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but ask, "Don't you transfer the Beiyang Navy Division over?" The combined fleet in Batavia still has hundreds of super battleships, can three or four fleets surround it? “

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said: "The Beiyang Sailor can't be adjusted, what if Fan Mendi goes crazy and goes to Goa to harass and startles the holy driver?" Let them stay in the outer seas of Goa. As for whether to surround or not, we don't need to think about it at all, they are sailboats, we are steamers, and we can't run away if they can't run away, we just need to spread the net and wait for it. “

Zheng Chenggong is luring the snake out of the hole again, and he is waiting for the net, will Fan Mendi be fooled?

Fanmendi has to be fooled if he is not fooled, because he must take practical action to blackmail the Ming Empire into retreating from the Mughal Empire.

Therefore, after he returned to Batavia, he immediately convened a meeting of the generals of various countries to discuss the coercive action, but the discussion came and went, and it was really as Zheng Chenggong said, there was nowhere to go!

To go to the southeast peninsula, you must pass through the waters near Xingcheng Port, this is not necessary to think about at all, the Ming army is not blind, they will definitely intercept it;

Don't even think about going to Luzon, there are 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't take it at all, and it's in vain to go;

As for going to the southeast coast of the Ming Empire, the journey is too far, and I don't know if the Ming Empire has deployed troops along the coast, and if it does, it will be a trip in vain!

The generals of the great powers discussed for a few days, but there was still no way, just when Fan Mendi jumped to his feet in a hurry, news came from Luzon, the 100,000 troops of the Ming Empire were actually taken away, and there were only 5,000 recruits stationed in Manila City.

It's only 5,000 recruits, so what's there to hesitate about, just go up and do it!

Having learned the lesson of his last capture in Manila Bay, Van Mendi not only brought all the warships with him, but also brought 30,000 of the 40,000 musketeers of the Dutch East India Company, and he prepared to storm Manila by land and sea and take the city of Manila in one fell swoop!
