To tell the truth, the navy itself is an extremely money-burning branch of the army, whether ancient or modern, it is not easy to build a warship, a small country that is not rich in resources wants to have a strong navy is almost impossible, all the strength of the whole country to build a navy, as long as you lose a battle and bury the main force, the navy will not be able to get up for more than ten years, and it cannot be compared with the army that is born again in the spring breeze.

Like Korea, after Yi Sunsin's sailors were defeated by Yuan Jun, they could no longer stop the Japanese attack, like Japan, after the sailors were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't even do the basic maritime defense, and your sailors not only need time to build, but also time for sailors to practice, not at all like the army's mode of going to the battlefield as cannon fodder when the weapon is in a hurry, and there is absolutely no such thing as cannon fodder for battleships.

So when the Siamese people saw the huge fleet of more than seven or eight warships owned by the Ming Dynasty, they understood what fear was, and they finally remembered the surprise and fear they had more than a hundred years ago.

The Kingdom of Heaven is still the Kingdom of God, the Celestial Empire is still the Celestial Empire, it has not changed at all, and it still has extremely strong strength.

The small idea in Na Ruixuan's heart of wanting to show off his strength in front of the kingdom disappeared cleanly, because just such a fleet was enough to collapse all his self-confidence - Da Ming is too big, one southern expedition can mobilize so many warships, God knows how many warships Da Ming still has?

In fact, even the Ming Dynasty can't make too many warship clusters of this size, their ideas are completely superfluous, after handing over this naval force to Xiao Ruxun, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to mobilize more than three hundred warships, it can be said that seventy percent of the Ming naval force is under the command of Xiao Ruxun, just because the Ming court has never cared much about the navy, so it is safe to hand over these ships to Xiao Ruxun.

The reason why the Portuguese and Spaniards are so worried is also because they don't know the details of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't know how many warships the Ming Dynasty can mobilize, anyway, this scale is simply the Invincible Armada in the East, which can be compared with the invincible Armada of Spain at the beginning, even in the eyes of some discerning Portuguese, the performance of the ships and the number of guns of the Ming Army are not as good as those of the European Navy, but there are many ships, and they are still offshore.

That General Xiao Ruxun doesn't seem to be an expert in naval warfare, but that General Chen Lan is an expert in naval warfare, and I heard that he also wiped out the Japanese navy under his leadership before, although this Chinese navy is not very good in terms of equipment, and many of the equipment is still at the level of Europe 20 years ago, but the tactical level does not seem to be bad.

Even if the Invincible Armada comes, it is estimated that it will be a bitter battle, and with Spain's current strength in the Philippines, I am afraid it will not be able to compare with this huge Chinese navy.

Thankfully, they weren't here to get into trouble with Spain.

I don't know how many Spaniards secretly rejoiced - this sea area is now regarded as the Spaniards' sphere of influence, and the only one who has the ability to threaten the Spaniards is Da Ming, so Da Ming has no intention of clashing with Spain, if Da Ming has such a plan, the Spaniards will really have a headache.

The war with the British continued, and they had already sent a fleet to attack the British for the fourth time, and their strength was consumed a lot, and they really did not have the strength to clash with a traditional power in the East, let alone such a large fleet.

The Spanish mercenaries who saw the arrival of the Ming fleet with King Narexuan were all shocked, not only adventurers who fought purely for life and money, but also spies who were planted by the colonial government of the Philippines to probe the internal affairs of Southeast Asian countries, these spies worked for the Spanish government, transmitted information, and now suddenly saw such a large fleet, and they didn't know how to describe their feelings for a while.

Salutes and war drums sounded, the Ming army began the landing ceremony, a group of elite troops with a solemn look in their hands holding a variety of weapons and the Ming military flag majestic disembarkation, after them, the main generals of the Ming Army Southern Expeditionary Army led by Xiao Ruxun disembarked and landed together, Matteo Ricci followed Xiao Ruxun and got the honor of landing together.

King Narui Xuan stepped forward early in the morning to wait, Xiao Ruxun didn't take a few steps, and he saw King Narui Xuan's appearance clearly.

Slightly dark skin, extremely divine eyes, not too tall, but very energetic, wearing a crown and wearing a cloak, looking majestic, solemn, with a slight smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

In terms of rank, Xiao Ruxun is the general of the kingdom, and King Narui Xuan is alongside the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, belonging to the prince, according to the rules, Xiao Ruxun should give King Narui Xuan a salute first, but few of the generals and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty follow such rules, at most they arch their hands and say good, give some face, if they are provoked, they dare to beat their officials in front of other kings, Daming is so capricious.

Xiao Ruxun came with sincerity and hoped to cooperate sincerely with Siam, so seeing that King Narui Xuan took a few steps forward and seemed to be planning to salute first, Xiao Ruxun sped up his pace, grabbed ahead of him, leaned forward with both hands in fists, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ruxun, the commander of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of Pingnan, and the Marquis of Pingyu, meet His Royal Highness the King of Siam, and the king is safe." ”

With Xiao Ruxun taking the lead, the generals behind him also saluted, giving King Narui Xuan enough face.

As long as it is a king, there is no one who does not love face, Na Ruixuan originally planned to give a good impression to the Ming boss first according to Lin Yuanshan's statement, although he was a little aggrieved, but the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and they had to do this, but he didn't expect the Ming boss to be so upright, and first saluted him, so that he had face in front of his subordinates and foreigners, and he couldn't help but be very happy, so he immediately returned the salute.

What Xiao Ruxun didn't expect was that King Narui Xuan's Chinese was quite good, and it seemed that he practiced Chinese with his Han courtiers.

"Admiral Xiao doesn't have to be polite, Xiao Wang is here to wait for the big tomorrow when there are many soldiers, and he has already prepared a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, which will definitely satisfy Admiral Xiao and the generals and the army, the army is tired, please go ashore as soon as possible, so that I can wait for the friendship of the landlord."

Xiao Ruxun smiled and waved, and there was a drum behind him immediately, and then several big boats put down the pedals together, and the Ming army landed from the ship in an orderly manner, and immediately lined up after going ashore, there was almost no sound, and the strictness of the military appearance was surprising.
