After hundreds of years, Yang Changfan came to the South China Sea again, still with the same wind and sunshine, and still a seagull standing on the bow with his chest up.

Taking advantage of the March monsoon, the fleet sailed comfortably and, according to the set objectives, had entered Philippine waters. Of course, there was no Philippines at this time, and the place was called Luzon.

Looking at the continent in the distance, Luzon was still so calm and peaceful at this time, but there were not many such days.

A lot has happened in hundreds of years.

The Spaniards will appear here across the Pacific Ocean, destroy this kingdom, colonize this land, and use it as a hub to establish the most lucrative [Manila-Mexico] route in history, linking Asia and the Americas, opening up global routes, and the goods of the New World and China, as well as tons of silver will change hands frequently, and Spain, which has huge profits, will officially enter the era of hegemony, and the invincible fleet will dominate the world.

Uncover the macro facts, and below are layers of bones.

In order to maintain the dominance of the Philippines and to monopolize all the profits of the golden route, Spain will carry out massacres here again and again, and among these bones, at least 30,000 people are black-haired and yellow-skinned.

Behind the great feats of the Age of Discovery and human progress were invasions, massacres, bloodsqueezing, colonizers becoming more powerful and plundering on a larger scale, unprecedented opportunities gave the vast soil of greed, and the frenzied growth of greed and wildness ushered in the next era.

It is impossible for Manila in front of them to realize this, and if they say it, the only source of their panic is probably Yang Changfan's fleet. At this time, the port that is not very big has gathered more than ten "warships", eager to try, except for one battleship that is more than ten zhang long, the rest is afraid that it is not much bigger than ordinary fishing boats, if it really goes to sea, Yang Changfan's fleet can knock them out.

Zhao Guangtou stood beside Yang Changfan, squinting at the battle: "What?" Want to fight? ”

"Don't worry, it won't." Xu Wenchang stood on the other side, "The rules of salute first and then soldier, Luzon should also understand." ”

"Bald, why are you still in such a temper?" Yang Changfan knocked on the side, "You are the Admiral of the First Fleet of the Huiwang Mansion, can you not do this." ”

"Isn't the Admiral at war?"

"That's just a qualified admiral. A good admiral will avoid war, and will also serve the purpose. Yang Changfan had to reiterate his principles again, "I am waiting for this expedition to the South Seas, holding high the banner of peace and liberation, and saving all countries from fire and water. ”

"I really don't understand the slogan of the shipowner, this mental trick, so let's just say whether to fight or not!"

"For this trip, we started in Manila and ended in Malacca. We can't just fight as soon as we come up, we have to fight little by little, and finally fight in Malacca in the dark, understand? ”

"Isn't that going to take ten years?"

"Even if it is ten years, it must be fought in ten years, and it must be finished within ten years."

"In the end, whether to fight or not to fight!" If Zhao Guangtou had hair, he must have been very messy.

"Talk." Xu Wenchang smiled, "If it's not appropriate, fight again." ”

"What to talk about? What to talk about? ”

Xu Wenchang smiled again: "With the letter of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing is worried about the danger of the South China Sea and the violence of the people, so we will be sent to the South Seas to rescue the subject countries and strengthen the defense of the South China Sea." ”

"Good...... Good...... You have the ability, and you have the national certificate. ”

Xu Wenchang's holy decree has been written, and the national letter doesn't seem to be a big deal.

This is also the biggest advantage of not reaching the information age, others can't be sure of the authenticity of your documents, the only way to verify is to send a messenger to Beijing to ask, go to the month to return to the month, and when you don't come back, the country will no longer exist.

Since the Francois entered the South Seas, the suzerainty Daming has not had any reaction to this, nor has there been any rescue operation, plus the sea ban is so, the so-called suzerainty and the subject country are just a false name, and they have already broken off diplomatic relations, so Yang Changfan is the mouth of the Ming Dynasty, the face of the Ming Dynasty, how many tigers Zheng He has, how many tigers he has.

"There's one thing I can't tell." Zhao Guangtou quickly discovered Xu Wenchang's loophole, "Here, it is not disturbed by the Francophone?" ”

Zhao Guangtou is right, because Manila does not produce a lot of spices and peppers, the Portuguese have little interest in it, and Luzon is located in the northeast of Southeast Asia, and it is not the only way to Macau, Quanzhou, Moss Bay and other places, so this place was spared.

In this case, Yang Changfan forcibly came to the rescue, which is inevitably a bit strong.

Xu Wenchang explained: "All the countries of Nanyang belong to the same sect, and we will inevitably need to rely on the port to supply when we go south to drive away thieves, so we have to set up a stronghold again to supply materials on trade routes. ”

"That's it? Will they cooperate? ”

"We have great gifts."

"Is that enough?"

"If it's not enough." Xu Wenchang nodded and said, "It's going to be hard for Admiral Zhao." ”

Zhao Guangtou squinted and said: "It's okay to take Luzon to try it out, it's just ...... We've robbed and killed people...... He has never destroyed the country...... In this Manila, let's go ashore and kill and burn, catch the emperor and cut it, I'm afraid there will be no more Luzon after that, right? ”

While talking and laughing, the fleet gradually approached the port, the 50 warships were not small, and the 8,000 sergeants were also eager to try, and it was difficult to go to sea for more than ten days before a big battle would come.

In the port of Luzon, those rudimentary ships did not dare to meet the attack in the end, and only sent a small boat out of the port to approach the fleet and inquire about the intention. Yang Changfan also ordered to anchor and stop, and the anchoring of sixty warships was a long and spectacular process, slowly slowing down and mooring, and finally relieved the opposite side.

The three envoys boarded the flagship Zheng He.

Two of them were inevitably dressed in fancy clothes, wearing culottes and round hats, while the other was Han Chinese.

Yang Changfan also summoned Boss Ma, who was relatively familiar with this place, to meet together.

The Han Chinese who came to Manila had settled in Manila since their father's generation, engaged in some business, and were proficient in the two Chinese, and this time the Luzon State was in danger of extinction, and he was temporarily arrested as an interpreter.

Under his translation, Yang Changfan was shocked to learn that Suleiman, the king of Luzon, wanted to find out what they were here for.

Xu Wenchang handed over the national letter, explained his intentions, and gave one-tenth of the gold and silver cloth gifts, as well as religious blankets and costumes from the Western Regions prepared in Moss Bay.

In order to show his sincerity, Boss Ma put on the religious clothes that had been prepared for a long time, buttoned up his hat, and returned to the port with the envoys, and by the way, sent Yang Changfan's awe of the belief in Luzon.

Next, it's time to wait.

While waiting, Yang Changfan also spared no effort to explain the situation to his cronies on the left and right, Confucian governance is not clear about this era, and the style of occupying the mountain as the king cannot control this era, so we must stand at a higher angle and look down on this era.
