Father Simon Almeida returned from Japan and brought shocking news: in order to open the route from Manila to Japan as soon as possible, Oda Nobunaga, the "new king" of Japan, personally assembled an armed fleet and handed over the command of his very important son-in-law, who was coming to Luzon in the name of supporting the Manila authorities. [Full text reading. 】

Regardless of whether the Ottoman Empire went on an expedition to the Ming Dynasty or not, and whether Lin Feng had left Luzon or not, in short, if the two Japanese "reinforcements" were united, plus the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force and the Ming Dynasty might intervene, the Spaniards would lose control of Manila Bay, so General Fernando was ready to bombard the Vito Cruze barracks.

As the supreme governor of Manila, Governor Lavizares believed that even if there was no Ottoman expeditionary force, it was still necessary to be on strict guard against the collective rebellion of the indigenous tribes on the island, and at the same time, it was necessary to strictly guard against the "Japanese reinforcements" who had already landed on the island, and not to attack them for no reason until the truth was clarified.

For General Fernando, Lin Feng has always been a big problem for the Spaniards, and he pinned his hopes on Zhu Hui, hoping that he could lure the snake out of D and solve Lin Feng's problem first, and the Japanese ronin in the Vito Cruze barracks would become a turtle in the urn, and the would-be would-be retreat without a fight. Therefore, when he heard that the psychic had contacted Lin Feng, he was overjoyed, and immediately sent elite men and horses to follow the hounds to search for a night, and finally found Lin Feng's stronghold.

The big war is imminent, the Japanese ronin is training every day, and Bee Suka is also very nervous, and when he and Zhang Gou'er train together, he always deliberately keeps a certain distance.

At the same time that Zhu Hui was taken away by Lin Feng's men, Li Ruiqi was having dinner in the barracks, wearing the clothes of a Spanish soldier, and ran around near the exercise ground, which immediately aroused the alarm of Bee Suga, he observed carefully for a while, and then quietly came to Zhang Gou'er's side.

At this time, Zhang Gou'er had already recognized Li Ruiqi, obviously, this was sent by Zhu Hui, and immediately realized what he wanted to do when he came in, which also proved that Bee Suga had already made contact with Lin Feng.

According to the time agreed between Bee Suga and Lin Feng, in a few days, Lin Feng will first set off a riot in northern Luzon, and then develop to the south, straight to the royal city of Manila, when dozens of tribes revolt at the same time, there will also be an armed attack at sea, taking advantage of the overwhelming Spanish army, regardless of whether General Fernando issues them weapons or not, and regardless of whether the authorities allow them to participate in the counterinsurgency, the Ronin army will rush out of the barracks and control the Bashi River estuary......

Originally, he planned to give Zhang Gou'er a showdown in a few days, but Li Ruiqi's sudden appearance made Bee Suhe suspicious, so he came to Zhang Gou'er's side and asked quietly, "Do you know this person?" ”

Zhang Gou'er pretended to be carefully identified, and replied mysteriously: "This is a wizard hired by General Fernando for a lot of money, and it is said that this person is proficient in bird language. ”

"Proficient in bird language? How do you know? Wasuka was taken aback, apparently not believing these nonsense, and thought to himself that even if the birds could speak, they would not know the contents of the letter.

So, Zhang Fan pointed to the flying birds in the sky and said: "Since ancient times, there have been flying pigeons to pass on the book, to be honest, I haven't seen it yet." But I don't know if your contact with Lin Feng is through these pigeons? Even though the pigeons are illiterate, there is a context to where they came from and where they are going. ”

At this time, Li Ruiqi played with the wooden G in his hand, and was yelling at the flying bird, as if talking to the bird, which made Wasuka extremely frightened, and immediately ran into the exercise ground, pulled out a ronin who was training, and pulled him out with his ears.

"Is there any news today?" Wasuka asked in a low voice.

The ronin shook his head, pointed to a bird's nest in the barracks, and replied, "My lord, I checked again this morning, and there is no news yet. ”

Wasuka pointed to a palm grove under the fence and asked, "Have you been there to have a look?" ”

The ronin knew that there was also a pigeon's nest in the palm grove, and if he went there to get information, he might be discovered by the soldiers at the sentry, so he had never dared to go, and suddenly when he heard the commander ask, he shook his head in horror.

"Someone has discovered our secret, hurry up and lure the pigeons from the trees and check again to see if there is any information?" Wasuka ordered.

Without saying a word, the ronin ran towards the palm grove, and learned the cooing of pigeons under the trees, trying to lead the carrier pigeons to the nest in the barracks, when Li Ruiqi suddenly rushed over, threw the wooden stick in his hand into the bushes, and frightened all the birds out of the barracks.

Just as Bee Suga was about to find Li Ruiqi to make trouble, Zhang Gou'er ran over and asked, "What happened?" ”

"You bastard!" Wasuka scolded and tried to pull out the saber, only to see his hand dangling from his waist, only to realize that the saber had already been taken away, and stomped his foot in anger and scolded: "Come on, kill this damn bastard!" ”

Zhang Gou'er smiled and asked, "Who are you ordering?" ”

At this time, Wasuka's eyes widened with rage, and he pointed at Zhang Gou'er and replied loudly, "Including you!" ”

Zhang Gou'er suddenly turned his face, raised his hand and gave him a loud slap, and scolded viciously: "Let go of your mother's dog P!" What kind of thing are you? Dare to order Lao Tzu to come. ”

Bee Suga never expected Zhang Gou'er to hit him, he was stunned, and as soon as he roared, he pounced on Zhang Gou'er......

Zhang Gou'er did not show weakness, he had already taken precautions, and used his grappling hand to throw Bee Suga to the ground.

The soldiers who were training suddenly found that the two commanders were fighting, and at first they thought they were competing, but if they looked closely, they were desperate......

Zhang Gou'er gradually became overwhelmed, and the Ryukyu soldiers took the lead in running to help, and Bee Suga saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly ran to the training ground, and at this time, the Japanese ronin chased the Ryukyu soldiers and fought together......

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out outside the barracks walls, and Gonzalez, who had received the news, also arrived at the scene with a musket team.

So, Zhang Gou'er shouted loudly: "Stop it!" I'm in a joust with General Wasuka, what are you doing here? ”

Wasuka also hurriedly ordered his men to stop attacking, and the two sides fought for a while, and the Ryukyu soldiers were weak after all, and they all moved closer to the Western muskets.

Some of the red-eyed ronins ran towards the Spanish soldiers, and Gonzalez immediately ordered the musketeers to prepare for a S-fire.

Wassuka didn't see it well, so he ran to Gonzalez to explain, and talked for a long time, but Gonzalez couldn't understand a word.

Li Ruiqi, who was watching the excitement, came to Gonzalez, pointed at Zhang Gou'er, and then pointed at Wasuka Koroku, and broke his hands to both sides, meaning to separate the two of them.

Since General Fernando was very confident that he would be able to catch Lin Feng by following Zhu Hui, he had already given Gonzalez an order to deploy three heavy artillery pieces outside the barracks, and the musket team was ready for everything, just waiting for the good news to come, regardless of whether it was a Japanese ronin or a Ryukyu soldier, no one would want to take another half step out of the barracks.

Before the Spanish soldiers were deployed, the Japanese ronin and the Ryukyu soldiers in the barracks fought, which made Gonzalez feel quite troublesome, and in order to stabilize the two sides, he had to follow Li Ruiqi's idea and resettle the two sides separately.

At this critical moment, Wassuka didn't want to cause trouble, and immediately ordered the ronin to go back and continue to practice, and nodded and apologized to Gonzalez.

Zhang Gou'er and his men wanted to leave the barracks, but Gonzalez resolutely refused, and at this time, Li Ruiqi gave him a look and asked them to camp under the palm grove near the wall.

Before receiving the order, Gonzalez was also afraid of another incident, but since he had no interpreter and could not understand the truth of the conflict between the two sides, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to General Fernando, and then he closed the barracks and continued to intensify the deployment of troops, ready to act against the barracks at any time.

A wizard who is proficient in bird language suddenly appeared in the barracks, and Bee Suga knew that there must be something strange in it, and once again called the ronin who raised pigeons to inquire, and was sure that those carrier pigeons were normal, and maybe they could receive information from Lin Feng tonight, so he was relieved.

If this wizard was sent by Zhu Hui to find Lin Feng's whereabouts so that he could seize the initiative in military operations in the future, Wasuka would not be worried; If this wizard was sent by Westerners, it would be dangerous, indicating that they already suspected that they had a connection with Lin Feng.

After a conflict, the Ryukyu soldiers took control of the pigeon nest in the palm grove, which made Wasuka feel very passive, he pacified his subordinates, and then took the two ronins to take the initiative to find Zhang Gou'er to repair.

Although he has not had a chance to contact Li Ruiqi yet, Zhang Gou'er can see that Li Ruiqi has successfully intercepted the information and managed to get Zhu Hui and Lin Feng in contact, so he has to leave this military camp as soon as possible so as not to bury this group of Japanese ronin.

Gonzalez had been secretly observing the movements in the barracks, and suddenly found that Wasuka went to Zhang Fan to apologize, Zhang Fan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but the soldiers on both sides were in a stance, always ready to strike first, as long as they disagreed, they would immediately have to fight.

At this time, Li Ruiqi, who was accompanying Gonzalez, was secretly anxious, he firmly believed that it would not take long to catch Lin Feng, so he had to find a way to let Zhang Gouer and others evacuate the barracks.

When the Westerners arrived at the General's Yamen, General Fernando had just returned from the Governor's Palace, and he could not judge whether Lin Feng could be caught, and until he had evidence of Beesuka's collusion with Lin Feng, Governor Lavizares and Archbishop Perez repeatedly reiterated that they should not draw conclusions about the Japanese Christian "reinforcements".

Therefore, General Fernando needed to find a reliable interpreter to reconcile Gonzalez, Bee Suka, Zhangfan, and Li Ruiqi, so that they would not be intervened by the Church when they rioted in the barracks. However, it was difficult to find a translator who knew both Spanish, Japanese and Ming Dynasty official dialect, and just when he was in a dilemma, Shen Qi, who had already completed the exchange of silver ingots, brought Li Dan to thank him, which made his eyes suddenly brighten.

Even if Lin Feng's whereabouts are found, it is still unknown whether Lin Feng can be caught and what Zhu Hui will do with him, but General Fernando has a hunch that this operation will definitely be rewarded, so he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he might as well leave Shen Qi in the official residence as a hostage, ask Li Dan to help, go to the Vito Cruze military camp, and assist Gonzalez in dealing with this crisis.

Although Zhu Hui repeatedly emphasized that as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force could be trusted, but General Fernando still did not dare to take it lightly, even if Lin Feng was caught in this operation, there was still the possibility of riots among the indigenous tribes of the islands, and whether the Ming Dynasty would send a large army to intervene in the name of asking for the imperial court's prisoners, the two sides should cooperate with each other, and the control of Luzon would be lost to the Ming court. Therefore, regardless of whether Lin Feng was caught today or not, he still resolutely could not let the Ryukyu soldiers retreat, and General Fernando made up his mind to secretly poison the Vito Cruze military camp as soon as possible.

In fact, with the help of Li Dan, Shen Qi spent a lot of money to hire a fast boat, if Lin Feng can be caught today, Zhu Hui, Ma Zhishan and others will send him to Yuegang, they visited this time, presented a generous gift to General Fernando, thanked him for his help, and prepared to return after returning.

General Fernando was very polite to Shen Qi and sent someone to invite Felipe and other businessmen to hold a grand banquet in the official residence.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the businessman chatting, General Fernando quietly called Li Dan into the secret room, praised him first, and then mysteriously told him that there was an important task that required Li Dan's cooperation, and after the matter was completed, the king of the Spanish Empire would award him a knightly medal, and he would also become the most powerful Chinese in Manila City, and in the future, he would no longer have to help the mercenary businessmen with miscellaneous ......

At the same time, outside the Vito Cruze barracks, three Hongyi cannons and more than a dozen light artillery pieces were deployed, and all the Spanish soldiers were on standby, just waiting for General Fernando's order, which would turn the entire barracks into a sea of fire, and the Japanese ronin and the Ryukyu expeditionary force would not escape.

General Fernando used some rhetoric to trick Li Dan into the Vito Cruze military camp, and sat in the official residence to wait for news from all sides.

Li Dan came to the Vito Cruze military camp, and according to General Fernando's instructions, he first appeased Wasuka, emphasizing the general's trust in them, far beyond the Ryukyu expeditionary force, once the Ottoman army invaded, he immediately issued them weapons and asked them to be responsible for defending the Bashi River port market.

According to the expected plan, in about ten days, the muskets and ammunition that Lin Feng purchased from Western Malaysia will be sent to the various strongholds where the rebellion was launched, and another armed force will come from the sea under the banner of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force, and the Spanish Navy will inevitably go to sea to meet the battle......

This group of Japanese ronins has not woken up from their dreams, and General Fernando has already moved to kill, and a catastrophe is about to befall them......
