Eventually, the British chose to return to the abandoned island of Leyte, and the Dutch returned to Cebu, and two days after they left, they returned to land on Manila with the Sinlu Kingdom.

Hong Wenyi sat with Zheng Jing in the governor's palace of the captured Spanish governor Gerard Peak in Manila to discuss the next matter.

The two families were originally enemies, of course, it was impossible to compromise for a while, and the quarrel lasted for two days, but in these two days, Zheng Zhi, who had been exiled to the Ryukyu Kingdom, came back, Zheng Zhi brought his remnants of the defeated army and thirty warships that escaped, and a dozen or so warships that returned later, the last group of 30,000 people transferred from Kogong Island, as well as fifty warships, and five warships returned.

If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to fulfill the promise he made to the Hongtian Cannon, if he can't fulfill the promise, then what awaits him is to be abandoned, the Hongtian Cannon is no longer the Hongtian Cannon of the past, Zheng Zhi has been in the Ryukyu Kingdom for a while, and heard that the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Australia and the Xinlu Kingdom defeated the Spaniards, and he came back in a hurry, and when he arrived at Manila to the island, he heard that the fleet of the Kingdom of Australia and the fleet of the Xinlu State were defeated by the Dutch and the British.

In the end, however, the Dutch and the British had to retreat because of their losses and the Chinese kingdom attacking their colonial governors.

So he hurried back.

After Zheng Zhi came back, he immediately put down 30,000 people who followed, 2,000 soldiers who followed, and the messenger of Hong Tian Cannon, and the three parties returned to the Governor's Mansion to celebrate the victory over the Dutch and the British and other Taixi coalition forces.

Zheng Jing definitely doesn't want to return Manila Island to Zheng Zhi, they work so hard to support why, there is no benefit who comes out, the reason why Zheng Jing has dragged on the situation for so long is that several parties will lose both, they are coming over, cleaning up the mess, and dealing with Zheng Zhi He has a psychological advantage, and now he regards himself as the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhi is what to say about the Zheng family, so the psychological advantage is very superior.

As soon as he came out, he aggressively forced Zheng Zhi with the momentum of the head of the Zheng family, and at the same time, Manila Island was also taken back by them, Zheng Zhi argued with him for a long time and did not argue with him, and Hong Wenyi looked at them alone and snickered, anyway, this is their Zheng family's business, they did not occupy Manila Island, and it is not rare here, they know that this place is too close to the Chinese Empire, and when his father came, he told him that Zhang Qiang, the emperor of China, has long regarded this place as the territory of the Chinese Empire, and will never allow outsiders to get involved, If Xinlu gets involved, it will be asking for trouble for himself.

Seeing that the two brothers were arguing, Hong Wenyi made an excuse to leave Manila Island with his soldiers and horses, and returned to Little Luzon, the main place where they were stationed, and then summoned the generals who went out this time to discuss what to do in the future. If you stay here, you will probably either be eaten by Zheng Jing, or you will be attacked by Zheng Zhi, or you will be wiped out by the Dutch or the British. ”

Hong Wenyi thought about it for a long time, and felt that what this veteran said was good, it seems that there are many warships and warships in Xinlu Guoda, but they are inferior to the British and Dutch in speed and firepower, and inferior to Zheng Jing in terms of flexibility and combat experience, not to mention the Huaxia Army and Naval Division, so it is best to retreat now.

Within two days, he sent someone to inform Zheng Jing, and then led the seriously damaged fleet back south.

This time they came out with more than 400 ships, half of which were armed merchant ships and merchant ships used to transport troops and supplies, and on Leyte Island, they lost nearly 100 armed merchant ships and merchant ships, and the warships also suffered a lot of losses, but they gained a lot, and captured 50 or 60 large-tonnage warships and armed merchant ships of the enemy, merchant ships, armed merchant ships and merchant ships and merchant ships that came to take the population and supplies of Leyte Island, took prisoners, dragged the captured enemy's wounded warships and warships, and the armed merchant ships went back and walked more than 200 ships.

After the first battle of that day, the armed merchant ships and warships were almost wiped out with the armed merchant ships and warships of the Nanyang Kingdom and the Ryukyu Kingdom captured by the enemy, and the large-tonnage warships were also destroyed and damaged, and many were sunk, and now there are only eighty or ninety warships left, and there are about 100 of them pieced together, and they have lost the tatters that were destroyed and damaged, and turned around and returned to the island of New Zealand with more than 80 soldiers and horses.

The fleet of the Xinlu State was gone, Zheng Jing was still arguing with Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi sent people to ask Hong Tian Pao for help, and Hong Tian Cannon again sent a hundred warships and warships to support Zheng Zhi.

The three parties had just come together, sabre-rattling, the Dutch and the British made a comeback from Cebu and Leyte, and the five sides fought again on Manila.

At the critical moment, Zheng Jing gave way and let the British warships surround Zheng Zhi's battleship, although Zheng Zhi struggled to break through, but was finally sunk by the British, and the other ships were captured or sunk by the British, and were defeated, and then the Dutch and the British dealt with Zheng Jing and Hongtian Artillery Department, who had no intention of fighting, and a big battle came down.

The two lost eighty percent of the warships and warships, the Dutch were almost disabled, the British also suffered heavy losses, the Quartet had to withdraw from the battlefield, ready for another decisive battle, Zheng Jing raided the Hongtian artillery department with heavy losses at night, but did not want Hongtian artillery to go back with more than a dozen warships, Zheng Jing failed in a sneak attack, obtained the warships and warships of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and captured a lot of soldiers and horses, and the strength recovered a lot, but only the original two percent of the sailor ships.

Back at the Governor's Palace, Zheng Jing considered the gains and losses this time, and felt that the losses were too great to reconcile, at this time, his master said: "It's better to send troops to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom." After several years of development, where there is more abundant and the population is small, but they are all Han Chinese, which is just brought back to offset our demographic disadvantage. ”

Zheng Jing looked at his master and said: "But our current troops, and we are a tired army, how can we fight at ease, the strength of the sailor is stronger than our Ryukyu Kingdom, not to mention that they also have the support of the Huaxia Navy and the Huaxia Army." ”

The master smiled: "We can borrow troops, didn't we want to contact the Dutch and the British before?" Originally, they were strong and looked down on us, but now everyone is a remnant of the defeated army, although they have defeated us slightly, but now they are also the end of the crossbow, if they fight alone, it may be easy to defeat us, but it is impossible to defeat the Chinese army, and it is also impossible to defeat the remaining sailors of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but if we join forces, I think the Dutch and the British, who are now greatly weakened, will definitely agree. ”

"Okay, yes, then I'll leave the matter of this envoy to you, remember that only success is allowed, no failure, success, you will be named the crown prince Shaobao, the governor of the new colony, if you fail, I will kill your whole family, you know?" Zheng Jing's master patted his goatee and said with a smile.

Master wants to cry now, following such a monarch, it is really eight lifetimes of mold.
