Zhang Zhijie led 3,000 soldiers into Manila City, at this time there was no one on the streets of the city, there was no original bustling scene at all, and it looked very desolate.

The shops on the street were closed, every house was closed, and the smell of blood wafted through the air. The minister of Luzon looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and shook his head as if he didn't want to believe it.

The movement of the army into the city immediately aroused the minds of the residents of the city of Manila. A Luzon man came to the door with the courage and looked outside through the crack in the door, but unexpectedly did not see the blond and blue-eyed foreigner, but the Ming people!

It's really a Ming person! It was the army of the Ming general who had come to Luzon! The Luzon people here were suddenly excited, they were the army of the Ming Dynasty, and for them they were like heavenly soldiers!

God knows what kind of life they are living these days, every day is precarious, people are killed every day, and he himself doesn't know how long he will live!

He was really fed up with this kind of frightened and frightened days, but he didn't expect the army of the Ming Dynasty to come! The army of the kingdom is mighty and invincible, and it will definitely drive the foreigners away! No, now that the Ming army has entered the city, it must have driven the foreigners away!

This Luzon man had the courage to open the door and poked his head out carefully, there were no foreigners, only the army of the Ming Dynasty entered the city! Saved, Manila saved, all of them saved, all survived!

The Luzon people walked out of the house and knelt down on the street at once, and the ecstasy in his heart for the rest of his life and the gratitude to the great soldiers were so incomprehensible that he trembled.

"The heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here! The heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are coming, and we are saved! He fell to his knees and kowtowed as he exclaimed excitedly.

Soon more and more residents came out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing their heads. Zhang Zhijie was very relieved to see this scene, this is the heart of the people!

The Luzon minister who followed Zhang Zhijie was very concerned about the current situation in Luzon, and immediately pulled up a Luzon man and asked, "What about the king?" And what about our army in Luzon? ”

"It's you, my lord! The city was breached by the foreigners, and the king retreated with his army to the west! The foreigners left more than 100 people to garrison, and the rest of the Westerners went after the king's army! ”

"Is there any news of the king? What is the state of the army doing now? The Minister of Luzon asked urgently.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, after the foreigners occupied the city, they slaughtered and the people were panicked, and I don't know what happened to the king's army." It shouldn't be too good to think about it, after all, the foreigners are too powerful, and the army is easily broken through the city! ”

Zhang Zhijie heard this and said in a deep voice: "How many foreigners are there in total?" ”

"General, there are probably more than 500 foreigners in total, leaving more than 100 people to garrison the city, and the remaining 400 people are going to pursue the king's army! The general should not underestimate the foreigners, there are only more than 100 people stationed in the city, these foreigners are powerful! ”

"They have already been captured by Bendo!" Zhang Zhijie said lightly.

The man was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were full of awe, this is the gap between the heavenly soldiers and generals of the kingdom and their army. As he was talking, an old man next to him came up and bowed and cried: "Lord Admiral, the army of the imperial court is here!" These foreigners who kill a thousand knives will kill people when they see them, they are inhumane! ”

"Are you Han? Ben Dou remembered that there were many Han Chinese in Manila, how were they all doing? Zhang Zhijie asked with concern.

"Alas, these foreigners kill people when they see them, and more than a dozen have already been killed!" The man sighed, "This is thanks to the Admiral who led his troops to Manila and drove the foreigners away, otherwise it would be unimaginable, and the future would be precarious!" The old man cried.

There are only a few dozen Ming people in Manila, but I didn't expect more than a dozen to be killed at once! Zhang Zhijie sighed and said: "It's all because the governor is late, but it's okay now, since the governor is here with the army, I will definitely guarantee your safety!" ”

"It is gratifying that the Admiral captured the foreigners in one fell swoop, but you must not be careless! Originally, there were foreigners in the city, but they sneaked away before the adults entered the city, probably to report the news! The foreigners' brigade will soon be killed, so don't be careless! ”

Only then did Zhang Zhijie know that there were still Spaniards stationed in the city, and they had slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good, so they probably went to report the news. Zhang Zhijie was not only not surprised when he found out, but felt very happy, because this was exactly what he wanted!

Instead of leading troops to chase the foreigners on the island, it is better to hold on to Manila City and wait for work, and when the time comes, occupy Manila City to face the foreigners, which can be said to occupy the right time and place! Therefore, the rest of the Westerners fled to report the news, which was in line with Zhang Zhijie's intention.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Don't worry, this governor is fully prepared!" You may not know that Bendu had already fought with foreigners in the Ming Dynasty, and he was very clear about their combat strength. So don't worry, the Governor will definitely wipe out the remaining 400 foreigners!" ”

Zhang Zhijie's army entered the city, bringing hope and tranquility to the city of Manila, and the ministers of Luzon began to pacify the people, and Zhang Zhijie took over the security of Manila and began to arrange the city defenses.

Today's Manila City has been completely decided by Zhang Zhijie, and no one has any objection to this. Although Zhang Zhijie said it lightly, he still attaches great importance to the upcoming Spaniards.

Although he was very sure that with the 3,000 soldiers in his hand, he would definitely be able to defeat the 400 Spaniards, but Zhang Zhijie was still making perfect preparations, because he knew that facing 400 Spaniards was far more difficult to deal with than facing 3,000 Japanese people!

In the face of 3,000 Japanese Zhang Zhijie's army, there were no casualties, but in the face of the Spaniards, Zhang Zhijie did not have the confidence to destroy all 400 Spaniards without any damage! After all, the arquebuses in the hands of the Spaniards were very sharp, and they had crossed the oceans, and all of them had been in battle, so they were by no means so easy to deal with!

If Zhang Zhijie was 400 soldiers against 400 Spaniards, Zhang Zhijie really had no certainty of winning! The Spaniards and Portuguese were indeed very powerful at this time. Therefore, it is necessary to occupy and make full use of all conditions to minimize casualties.

These soldiers were all brought out by Zhang Zhijie from Daming, and I really don't want them to die overseas! I can't go back to my hometown from now on!

Therefore, Zhang Zhijie is ready to take advantage of the geographical advantages of Manila City, constantly consolidate the city defense, and allocate 3,000 soldiers properly, so that they can familiarize themselves with the practice of defending the city!
