In fact, the closest place from Luzon to the mainland is not Jinling but Fujian, and the defense there is also relatively weak, if Wang Wenyan directly sends troops to Fujian, not to mention a war, at least it will disrupt Ye Xun's deployment.

But Wang Wenyan also has his difficulties, the most important point is that his people are too complicated.

There are Japanese pirates, Luzon natives, red-haired ghosts, etc., imagine that if these people are allowed to act arbitrarily on the mainland, even if they finally win the world, they will definitely become sinners for the ages who will be reviled by future generations.

Scholars are the most important places to be famous.

You must know that Wang Buyi's name is not called in vain, just as he does not directly attack Fujian, he is also forced to send troops this time, because he has already felt the threat from Ye Xun.

Due to geographical limitations, Luzon could not develop in military force at all, except for commerce and trade, and the reason why Wang Wenyan chose there was to avoid Ye Xun's eyes and ears.

The first point is that Wang Wenyan is very self-aware, knowing that the broken place of Luzon cannot compete with the Central Plains at all.

On the second point, Wang Wenyan has also done very successfully, so far, except for a few Donglin bigwigs in Jiangnan, no one still knows that he is the boss of the Xingming Chamber of Commerce, including several high-ranking officials in Beijing.

When Ye Xun led the fleet to sea, the United Nations fleet that Wang Wenyan had put together had quietly come to the waters south of Donggang, waiting at any time to go upriver from the mouth of the Yangtze River and attack Jinling.

I have to say that the route they chose is still relatively reliable, if they go to the inner side of the Donggang Strait, it is very likely that they will be dumplings by Ye Xun's fleet.

As the head of an army, it is good to be cautious, but it is a problem to be overly cautious, and he is still leading such a combined miscellaneous army.

The calm weather fulfilled Ye Xun's fleet, and it also fulfilled Wang Wenyan.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the fleet had arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the officers and soldiers of the Daming Coastal Defense Inspection Division here had already been bought by the Donglin Party.

It's just that before the fleet entered the Yangtze River channel, the commanders of the ships began to fight among themselves.

In the entire fleet, Wang Wenyan can control about one-third of his subordinates, and the other pirates, ronins, red-haired ghosts and others are bound by the situation of the alliance.

Not only that, Wang Wenyan also promised these people a generous reward, otherwise how could these people rush to send them to death knowing that the Ming Navy was powerful?

The handsome ship is a large ship with a few cannons bought from the red-haired ghost, which looks quite like that, but it is far less powerful than the red-haired ghost's own warship.

The reason for the infighting is clear: these people, when they realized that the water was not in their favor, refused to move on, and planned to go ashore and plunder nearby.

In fact, it is no wonder that these people provoke trouble, although the surface of the Yangtze River is wide enough, but obviously cannot be compared with the sea, after these warships enter the Yangtze River channel, if the Ming army seals the mouth of the sea, then these people are no different from the turtle in the urn.

More than 100 warships of various types are moored at the mouth of the sea, and the scene is also spectacular.

On the main ship, Wang Wenyan sat on the main seat with a sinking face.

Wang Wenyan is in his fifties, and because of the benefits of maintenance and the unique temperament of a scholar, he looks like he is in his thirties.

On the left side of Wang Wenyan are the two captains of the red-haired ghost, with a face of heart hair that seems to have grown to the face, the one who is as fat as a pig and only one eye is Johnson, and the other is Marshall.

In this era, the people called the red-haired ghosts by the Ming Dynasty included a wide range of people, including the Dutch, the British, and the Spaniards, and these two old brothers were the two captains of the British East India Company, they brought three armed merchant ships, and the help was only one of their purposes, and it was true to test the depth of the Ming army.

Opposite the two foreign devils, one sitting on a chair that is about the same height as the table is the ronin leader Kijiro, and the other Akito is dressed as the pirate leader Du Bantian, who is active in the South Seas.

These people have been on Wang Wenyan's main ship for a while, strictly speaking, they have been arguing for a while.

The language is not clear, and they get together to talk about their own things, squeaking and wahing, like rats fighting.

It's thanks to Wang Wenyan's good cultivation, otherwise he would have to be crazy by these people, even so, he already had the idea of killing all these people afterwards.

"Smack!"

The sound of slapping the table finally made a few people quiet for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already said before, our dispatch of troops this time is a righteous move, as long as we succeed in taking Jinling, you will all be the most honored guests of my Ming Dynasty, who will attack you at that time?"

"You should also be regarded as a great master, when you understand the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, if you look at the small profits in front of you, not only will you not become our friends, you are afraid that you will not have anything to gain back."

Johnson shrugged his shoulders and said in stiff Chinese: "The channel ahead is too narrow, if the enemy fires at us from both sides, we will become a target for water activities, and then the entrance to the sea will be blocked again, and I really can't think of any other way to escape."

Zijiro laughed and said, "While the surname Ye didn't come back, we will get a ticket and leave"

Du Bantian glanced at Wang Wenyan, whose face was becoming more and more ugly, and said: "If this is not the case, we will send some warships to attack Jinling with Lord Wang, and the remaining ships will hold the mouth of the sea, so that no matter whether we win or lose, we will have a way to retreat."

Du Bantian is a Han Chinese, and he is also the most thoughtful person, if he can support Wang Wenyan and their success, he can get rid of the identity of a pirate, and even become the commander of the Ming Navy, it is not impossible.

After listening to Du's words for a long time, Johnson and the others nodded in agreement.

Now, Wang Wenyan can also see that these people are determined not to move forward, and even say that they are ready to pick up ready-made.

These chaotic miscellaneous armies add up to more than 10,000 people, so Wang Wenyan is not in favor of dividing the troops, and now these people can't point to it, so they can only pray that Jinling can succeed.

Sometimes the ideas of these scholars are really naïve, in their minds, King Xin is orthodox, as long as King Fuxin succeeds to the throne in Nanjing, the people of the world will look at the scenery.

But I didn't know that Ye Xun went to Jiangnan twice, and he has been imperceptibly removing the influence of the emperor's father and son in the hearts of the people, not to mention that Wang Wenyan can't succeed, even if they succeed, they will also become rats on the street.

After all kinds of persuasion to no avail, they had to agree to the plan of these people, and then everyone discussed what ships to send and how many men and horses to send to Jinling, and then prepared to disperse.

Although there are people piloting, but it is night, and it is very dangerous to sail at night, Wang Wenyan is not afraid, the problem is that he can't command other ships.

Before everyone reached the cabin door, someone outside suddenly shouted: "My lord, the fireworks in the direction of Jinling have come over!" ”...
