Chapter 592: Set sail for the sea

Under the blue sky, countless white seabirds chirp happily around the side of the ship.

Ye Gong's No. 1 treasure ship took the lead, followed by twenty warships of one thousand to two thousand materials, and twenty small supply ships to form an expeditionary fleet.

The target of the fleet, Luzon.

The fleet doesn't sound very big, but the tonnage and force are there, especially the Ye Gong treasure ship, which is a castle that moves on the sea, and the force of a treasure ship is more serious, it is worth ten ordinary warships.

What made Ye Xun determined to solve the Luzon problem as soon as possible was that in addition to the ghost-like Wang Wenyan and his subordinate Xingminghui, the Spaniards had begun to launch a full-scale attack on Luzon.

I don't know how Wang Wenyan fooled the Luzon king Suleiman, after the Spanish attack began, although they also put up desperate resistance, they did not send anyone to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

In Ye Xun's impression in the past, Luzon has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, because when the Yongle Emperor sent Zheng He to the West, he appointed the local Chinese as the governor of Luzon.

In this case, the younger brother is in trouble, why don't you go to the eldest brother?

As the focus of attention slowly shifted to Nanyang, Ye Xun knew more and more things.

Luzon is just a general term, and there are many large and small islands, and the most powerful king is actually a descendant of the Boni people, and his sphere of influence is in the area of Manila.

In fact, as early as the Yongle Emperor, the Bo Niren had a very good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and this is the problem.

Zhu Youzhen is a descendant of the Yongle Emperor, and the heirs of the old Zhu family have been forced into exile.

Therefore, Suleiman would rather admit Zhu Youzhen than ask for help from the Ming court led by Ye Xun.

From this, it is not difficult to see that this Suleiman is also a very loyal person to Daming, at least he did not do anything to fall into the ground.

As long as it is profitable between countries, enemies can become friends, and vice versa.

Luzon was an important bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to go out of the South Seas, so it must not be occupied by the Spaniards.

Ye Xun dispatched a total of 10,000 naval soldiers in this battle, if in the Central Plains Continent, more than 10,000 people are not enough to do anything, but for the natives of Luzon, it can be regarded as a thunderbolt.

The Spaniards relied on strong ships and guns, as well as advanced firearms, but these were no longer any advantages in front of the Ming fleet, and with so many soldiers, Ye Xun and others were sure to win this battle.

Before going to sea, Ye Xun had already sent a letter to Suleiman, in which he did not say that he wanted to aid or arrest Zhu Youzhen, but first put the hat of the Xingming Chamber of Commerce as an anti-thief, this time the Ming Navy went on an expedition just to eliminate the traitors entrenched overseas, and it has nothing to do with Luzon, I hope Luzon will not interfere and so on.

This is called saluting first and then soldiering, if Suleiman is not interested and carries Zhu Youzhen out, after Ye Xun arrives, he will still tell him that this Zhu Youzhen is fake, and the real king of faith has already died of illness in the capital of Daming.

If things come to that point, Ye Xun will only choose to wait and see about Spain's attack on Suleiman, and then start to drive out the Spaniards when he finds a suitable replacement for Suleiman.

Xiao Luo's body has fully recovered, this time Ye Xun will take her with him when he walks there, for her, after experiencing this, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

On the deck at the top of the treasure ship, Ye Xun and Tian Siqing sat opposite each other, and there was a small tandoor on the table in front of him, which was boiling tea, and Xiao Xiao made a cameo appearance as a tea boy, but if it wasn't for Ye Xun's insistence, Tian Siqing would never dare to drink the tea poured by this tea boy.

"Father-in-law, in the past, my subordinates from the Nanyang side often came, it is not an exaggeration to say that our fleet can be said to be an invincible existence, even the red-haired ghost is not good, but the subordinates want to take the liberty of asking, how do you feel that your father-in-law is still preoccupied?"

Tian Siqing's tea is also hard enough, he has to stand up once he pours tea in the small basket, and then he simply doesn't drink it, so as not to pour the small basket again.

Listening to Tian Siqing's question, Ye Xun shook his head and said, "I am not concerned about this trip to Nanyang, but the situation in Qinghai-Tibet."

"Before leaving, I had already sent a letter to the Mughal emperor, warning him not to get involved in the Qinghai-Tibet affair, for fear that this letter would not have any effect, and these Turks had been coveting the Qinghai-Tibet region for many years."

Tian Siqing is a naval general, land warfare is not his strength, listening to Ye Xun's words, thinking that this is really an annoying thing, it is difficult to transmit news on the sea, if the Mughal really sends troops to Qinghai-Tibet, I am afraid that by the time the fleet rushes back, the war will be over.

I heard Ye Xun continue: "I have ordered Qin Liangyu to reinforce Jasa, and at the same time ordered Cao Bianjiao to transfer 10,000 horses to the west in Chahanhot, so that unless the Mughal Empire starts a full-scale war with us, the existing men and horses should be able to resist."

He Guangxian and Cao Bianjiao are two tiger generals, Ye Xun is not worried that the war will be lost, what worries him is the situation in Tibet.

A decree abolishing serfs has already made Ye Xun stand against all the nobles and lords in Tibet, and even the living Buddhas in some monasteries have complained about it.

If there is no intervention from an external force, the army will suppress it, and at the same time, the fifth living Buddha Ngawang Lobsang also supports Ye Xun, and over time, the influence of the nobles on the Tibetan people will be slowly eliminated.

But Du Song Mangbu, who escaped, obviously also saw this, once he formed a climate, those unwilling nobles and lords in Tibet would definitely follow suit, and this was the source of Ye Xun's worries.

"Smack!"

I don't know what Tian Siqing thought, and suddenly slapped his head hard, which startled Ye Xun.

Without waiting for Ye Xun to ask, Tian Siqing said excitedly: "Just thinking about fighting the red-haired ghost, so you forgot about this stubble?" Father-in-law! Luzon is here, we can lead the fleet to the Mughals! We don't have to go too far, just enter the Bay of Bengal and threaten the Mughals at sea so that they don't dare to act rashly."

Not to mention, Tian Siqing's proposal can be regarded as very constructive, in fact, it is not to blame Ye Xun for not remembering, he comes from later generations, although he knows a little about the history of his own country, other countries are much worse, especially a country like Ah San, it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows nothing.

Just imagine, the Mughal Dynasty does not necessarily want to start a full-scale war with the Ming Dynasty, if you see the invincible armada of the Ming Dynasty again at this time, you should know what to choose.

Everyone wants to be the king of the earth, but is that possible? Not to mention the ancient times when science and technology were backward, even in later generations, it can't be realized!

Therefore, Ye Xun's attitude towards the surrounding powers has always been to prevent them from stopping, as for the occupation, forget it!

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, some things are not what Ye Xun wants to be like this, and at the same time, he also underestimated the current Mughal emperor Chahanjie. Jill's ambitions...
