At 11:31, the enemy ship No. 4 received heavy damage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 As soon as the Info Water Committee immediately ordered all the artillery that could be used to open fire, the other side was obviously not prepared for this and did not organize an effective counterattack.

The Water Committee didn't care so much, and took the lead in jumping over the already fragmented bow decks of both sides and leading the team to attack the enemy deck.

At 10:37, the Sulawesi Lighttail Shark poured all its artillery fire on the enemy ship No. 2. The opponent could not confront two sea ships at the same time, and after ten minutes hoisted a white flag and surrendered.

At 10:39, the Sulawesi Kelper engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy ship No. 3. The angle he chose was very good, allowing the other party's laid-back vitality to be scattered between him and the Silver Fox. Ship No. 3 turned, ready to flee at full speed.

Abrippa then ordered the poor not to chase after him.

At 11:44, the enemy's flagship completely capsized, and Oda Nobunaga and others, who had attacked the enemy's deck in the broadside battle, returned to their own ship before the ship capsized.

June 14, 1616 in the Gregorian calendar, June 4 in the Julian calendar, and the first day of the fifth lunar month.

Corning wins the Battle of the Manila Trench.

The next time, they will start cleaning up the battlefield.

The captain of the enemy flagship tied himself to a compass and eventually sank with the ship. Kuroda Nagamasa and others were salvaged by friendly forces. At the same time, the enemy drowning men were also rescued. They would undoubtedly become prisoners of war, and of course, Agrippa would interrogate them before that.

Agrippa is different from Corning, he not only wants to win this war, but also needs to know why he is being attacked here, according to common sense, this area belongs to the Spanish colonizers, under the jurisdiction of the Philippine governor, if it is attacked, there is no doubt that the Spaniards should be responsible, but the Spaniards should have received a good letter from Corning, thinking that they will not attack at this time, even if they are not willing to put on a friendly attitude, will also take the time to find out the details of the other party, rather than making rash moves now.

So who are these guys?

"Lowlanders!"

Among the team organized by Huang Xing, there are quite a few craftsmen from the West. Some of them came because of the big prizes, and some of them were simply kidnapped. Although it has been a long time since they left the European continent, they are not yet incomprehensible to each other's languages.

Low German.

"It turned out to be Dutch." Agrippa smiled slyly, these guys have even learned to sow discord, but unfortunately, their level needs to be improved.

This result was quickly reported to Corning, who was still sitting cross-legged in the cabin, dismissing it as the closest danger to the Dutch, and the empire that would be in decline in this century.

Since the naval battle of 1588, the superiority of both Portuguese and Spanish countries on the seas has been reduced, and the size of their own countries is not enough to develop overseas on a sufficient scale. Therefore, their control of the colonies was more of a military repression than an economic bondage.

Until the start of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, there will be no qualitative change in this state.

Corning's Industrial Revolution is ready to begin.

At that time, the Dutch power in the Pacific was destined to become an enemy and a defeated man.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, the overhaul affects the ship, and we continue to travel south."

Agrippa took the order, and their team will then go to the vicinity of Mindanao to rest.

It's just that Corning's flagship Blue Fox will change course slightly.

Their destination was an island that was not taken seriously on the charts of the seventeenth century.

There are many similar islands and reefs around here, and they have caused a lot of controversy after four hundred years, however, in this time and space, similar things will not happen again, because Corning has already landed on this island with a Ming flag in his hand.

This island is not the Diaoyu Islands, and the surrounding area will become Corning's sphere of influence, and in the short term, no hostile forces will be able to reach there.

This island, on the other hand, is next to the Spanish colonizers.

So, he did this thing that seemed incomprehensible under his hands.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a national flag in the legal sense, and in the hands of Kang Ning was a flag that was widely used by sailors during the Kua-I War. Its background color is Hainan blue, the bottom is decorated with a pattern like sea waves, and the upper left corner of the flag is painted with a round of sun and a bright moon. This is the hallmark of the Ming Dynasty.

And on the right half of the flag, Corning ordered someone to embroider the word "Ming" on it.

Maybe the Spaniards who landed here later didn't know the word, but Corning only needed an excuse. He was just silently waiting.

After burying the bottom of the flagpole deep into the ground, Tang Ning left with his men, and in the rocking boat, he stared at this fluttering national flag, no matter what the Ming Dynasty thought of its sea frontier, what it thought of his sailors? What do you think of this flag? He Kangning will regard this flag as the military flag of the navy, and even the national flag of the empire in the future, with its fluttering waters, it is the sea frontier defended by the empire!

The Blue Fox finally joined up with the main force of the fleet and continued southward, passing through the complex topography of the Sulu Sea before reaching the waters of Sulawesi. The native creatures in this area are relatively distinctive, and Boss Huang, who is curious about new things, has long set up a supply station here. This move predates even the Dutch colonists, who would not commit such an act until almost two years later.

Passing by the strangely shaped island of Sulawesi, the fleet docked near the island of Timor to recuperate.

After a long journey at sea, there was a general lack of physical strength and other conditions, and even though the logistics were excellent, Kuroda Nagamasa and others were obviously tired of wandering, and they couldn't wait to find a piece of land where their souls could rest in peace for a few days.

Corning was apparently unhappy with their request, knowing that they only had to cross the Timor Sea to the south to reach their destination, Australia.

Still, if you agree to take a break here.

The Nusa Tenggara archipelago is already the southernmost point of Asia. This is this group of Japanese samurai who spent their last days on Asian soil.

The vast Eurasian continent has drifted away from them, and they are greeted by fluffy koalas and marsupials, which are not yet extinct at this time.
