When the news of Taiwan's victory reached Fuzhou, the entire Fujian Province was boiling, and then the people of the coastal provinces took to the streets to celebrate. At the same time, Li Long announced the establishment of a Taiwan government in Taiwan, which would be subordinate to Fujian Province, with He Bin as the first Taiwan prefect and Guo Huaiyi as the first Taiwan guerrilla general.

Li Long stood on the high platform and said loudly in front of the tens of thousands of people in the audience: "The people of the Ming Dynasty have a glorious and indomitable tradition of struggle, no matter how rampant the foreign captives are for a while, how good they are at playing with conspiracies and tricks, but after all, they will get out of the territory of our Ming Dynasty." The heroic deeds of Hai Weihou and the patriotic spirit of the people of Taiwan against the red-haired devils will always be an example for all the people of the Ming Dynasty to learn. ”

"Long live Daming!" Li Long raised his arms and shouted

"Long live Daming!" Zheng Zhilong also raised his arms and shouted

"Long live Daming!" Zheng Sen, Gu San Mazi, Shi Daxuan and others also raised their arms and shouted

The people in the audience were shouting long live, when suddenly there was a rumbling cannon sound from the sea

"What's going on?" Li Long was surprised

Zheng Zhilong also felt that the sound of the cannon disturbed his mood, so he immediately sent someone to inquire, and after a while, Shi Lang came to report, saying that a large number of red-haired warships appeared on the southern sea, in addition to the Dutch red-haired people, it seems that there are also Franco-man!

"Furlong?" Li Long was taken aback, and secretly said in his heart that this Francois was a Spaniard or a Portuguese? So he immediately said to Yang Dali, who was always with him: "Go and see, apart from the Dutch, there are any Portuguese warships!" ”

"Obey the order, sir!" So Yang Dali immediately boarded a small boat, and then boarded the big ship and went to sea, and about a quarter of an hour later, Yang Dali sent news through the herald that it was not the Portuguese but the Spaniards who came with the Dutch warship

"The Francos of Luzon?" Zheng Zhilong also received Shi Lang's return, "What are they doing here?" Zheng Zhilong said: "Grandpa, this Luzon Francois is not a good type, a few years ago he wantonly killed our Ming people in Luzon, and today he is in collusion with the Dutch red hair~~~" Zheng Zhilong patted his chest and said: "Weichen is willing to fight them off for his grandfather!" ”

Li Long said indignantly: "How can it be enough to retreat? These two red-haired devils tortured and killed my people like this, I want you to kill all the way to Luzon and all the way to Nanyang. Kill these red-haired devils~~ From now on, there is only my Ming banner in this 10,000-mile sea frontier! ”

Zheng Zhilong wanted to monopolize the maritime trade between the South Seas and the East China Sea, so Zhengse said: "As long as the grandfather trusts his subordinates, he will kill him in the country of Franc Ji, and I, Zheng Zhilong, am also willing!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Long laughed loudly, "There will be a day when sooner or later I will personally lead the army to capture the countries of the Franc Machine!" After that, Li Long raised his glass high and said, "Today's celebration banquet should be practiced for you." ”

Zheng Zhilong drank all the wine in the cup and said, "The last general is willing to smear the liver and brain of the grandfather and Daming!" With that, he threw off his cloak, jumped off the platform, and headed straight for the big ship

Because of the feud between the Netherlands and Spain, the Netherlands was ruled by the Spanish Habsburgs in 1556, and the Spanish rulers Charles I and Philip II and the Catholic Church under their control implemented **ism, arbitrarily destroying the privileges of the Dutch provinces and cities, and extorting large taxes; The Inquisition was set up to brutally persecute Protestants. 8。 In August 1566, the iconoclasm campaign against the Catholic Church broke out. In the spring of 1567 the movement was suppressed. In August of the same year, King Philip II of Spain sent f.a.de Al as governor of the Netherlands to bloodily suppress the Dutch revolutionaries. On 9 January 16o9, King Philip III of Spain was forced to sign the Twelve-Year Armistice with the Netherlands, which de facto recognized the independence of the Netherlands. The Dutch revolution was completely victorious in the north, establishing the first bourgeois republic in Europe. Moreover, not long ago, the Dutch also defeated the Spaniards and monopolized the island of Taiwan, so in fact, the Dutch and the Spaniards did not trust each other, and they were afraid that the opponent would bite back and eat themselves after victory. It was only because the Spaniards reluctantly agreed to form a combined fleet because they believed that the next target of the Ming army was likely to be the Philippines, which they occupied. 2。 Therefore, although there were as many as 53 warships of the Combined Fleet this time, their actions were disjointed, and no unified command was established and the actions of the entire fleet could not be coordinated.

"Open the gun~"

rumble

With Shi Lang's sound of zero

There was a loud bang from the Ming warship, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. I saw that the thousand-pound cannons on the Ming warships were like roaring beasts, spitting out tongues of fire, and twenty-five pound shells rushed out of the barrel in response, penetrating the thick smoke at the muzzle, and whistling towards the enemy ship. I saw that the cannonball broke the rear mainmast of the Dutch ship, and then fell into the sea, and the hot cannonball suddenly made the sea rise several meters high, and frightened the Dutch sailors to panic.

After the first shot, the morale of the officers and soldiers on the side of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the original awe of the red-haired ghost cannon was of course gone. The smoke was blown back by the sea breeze, and Shi Lang couldn't help coughing a few times after inhaling the gunsmoke, in fact, he liked to smell the smell of gunpowder

"Good fight!" Shi Lang shouted excitedly: "Change~~ Immediately change the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers (Shotgun)"

"Order!" The gunner was very pleased with Shi Lang's praise, and his fighting spirit was immediately high, and he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to quickly clean the gun chamber and change the shell into a grenade.

About two minutes later, the Ming artillery roared again.

呠~呠

In an instant, tens of thousands of balls and steel bullets were shot at the enemy ship, which was indeed like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. Since the angle and distance of the live ammunition have just passed, the effect of attacking with marbles scattered at a large area and angle is very good. Seeing that the starboard side of the Dutch ship was covered, there was a crackling sound. 6。 When it hit the boat, the sawdust flew wildly, and when it hit the sea, it caused a splash of waves. Some of the unprepared Dutch sailors were beaten to a bloody pulp, screaming in a terrible voice.

The smoke of gunpowder was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, and Shi Lang stood on a high place and observed the enemy ship with clairvoyance. I saw that many Dutch sailors on the enemy ship were wounded, and the original black hull was mottled with white spots everywhere at this time, which was obviously the effect of steel balls. Looking further up, some of the sails under the mast were riddled with holes, and the sunlight penetrated directly onto the deck.

"Hahaha~" Shi Lang laughed with a sense of accomplishment, so he shouted again: "Give them a mother-son heart~ (hinge bullet specializing in sails and masts)"

"Order!"

There was a loud bang, the fire in the cannon door flickered, and the chain projectiles designed to deal with the sails and masts of the enemy ships were fired. 8。

"Fuck ~ missed!" Shi Lang observed with a clairvoyant eye, and the current hinge bullet only grazed next to the foremast sail of the Dutch battleship, twisting two cables.

"Three feet to the right, hit its foremast!" Shi Lang decisively ordered

"My lord, you can't beat that way!" The gunner commander hurriedly said

"Then turn the rudder right~" Shi Lang roared

"Order!"

"Turn the rudder right!"

After a rattling sound, the warship turned to the right about five degrees again, and the Dutch battleship once again entered the fire of the Ming artillery

Hit the angle within.

"Fire!"

The gunner's fire rope ignited, and with a bang, the chain bullet was fired again. 8。

Shi Lang hurriedly observed from the clairvoyant. I saw that the front sail cable of the Dutch battleship had been twisted and severed, and there were many pulls

The ropes were entwined with chains, and the whole huge spinnaker was swept upside down, and the mast was tilted to one side

"Hit~" The gunner cheered excitedly

"Hahaha! You can't run away with these~" Shi Lang also shouted excitedly: "Brothers, send these red-haired ghosts to see the Dragon King!" ”

"Deling~"

A dramatic scene was born

A Dutch gunner, in a state of extreme panic and frenzy, did not have time to think about what was going on, drew his cannon, and opened fire on the battleship opposite his gun. 2。 I saw that the shell accurately hit the hull of the opponent, and then, the ammunition depot in the cabin was ignited, and after a loud bang, the battleship broke in two. The Dutch gunner was about to cheer, but he realized that the ship he had hit was not the native of the East, but one of the main ships of his friendly Espanyols.

When the Spaniards saw that the Dutch army had opened fire on them, they were furious, believing that this was a trick set by the Dutch in collusion with China, in order to lure their fleet out to sea and then annihilate it. The further goal was to seize the Philippine colony.

"Yes, it must be so, these damned, lowly lowlanders!" The commander of the Spanish fleet, Aragonto, angrily scolded: "These lowland and Chinese Yankees, I swear to punish you!" ”

Therefore, the Spaniards did not care whether there was a misunderstanding, nor did they care about the Ming army on the periphery, which was a great enemy, and began to retreat towards the Philippines on the one hand, and shelled the Dutch warships on the other.

Frederick, the Dutch governor who had finally come to his senses, wanted to cry without tears, and he ordered the reckless artilleryman to be executed, and led the bruised Dutch fleet to flee in a hurry and go straight to Batavia.

After Zheng Zhilong went to the sea from all the way to the south, to Qiongzhou Mansion to supplement the berth, but one way to the stone pond of Wanli Shitang through the Shixing Stone Pond, Zengmu group of reefs, after sailing at sea for six days, the fleet has arrived at the port of Darussalam in the country of Bo Ni, the total population of Bo Ni is only more than 100,000, the population of Darussalam Port is about 30,000 people, and the Saigon of the Tang Army is equivalent, the water power of Bo Ni is only 100 fishing boats, however, because Zheng He has stayed here twice when he went to the Western Ocean, it can dock the warships of the Ming army.

The king of Boni at this time was Bolkiah, and he was frightened when he heard that a big warship was coming from the sea, and Bolkiah was so frightened that he was about to flee with the palace guards, and the Portuguese only sent hundreds of men when they conquered Boni, and the fleet that came now is said to be a sail covering the sky and the sun, and the number of ships is so large that it is impossible to see the edge at a glance. It would be nothing if it was just a change of master, but what if the red-haired man didn't let him continue to be king, or made more demanding demands.

Just when Bolkiah was in a panic, his subordinates reported that it was not the fleet of the red-haired people, but the fleet of the Ming Kingdom, and Bolkiah's heart hanging in his throat finally returned to his stomach. "It turned out to be from the Ming Kingdom~" Bolkiah let out a long breath

Bo Ni Kingdom once had a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, in the Ming Yongle six years, the then king Mana Jagana with the queen, the prince and a line of more than 150 people, personally went to Yingtianfu to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and was hospitalized by the Ming Chengzu. Mana Jagana visited Yingtianfu for more than a month, unfortunately contracted the disease, although carefully adjusted by the imperial doctor, finally died of illness due to serious illness. Before he died, he asked for the burial of China, and Ming Chengzu followed his will and buried the foreign monarch according to the royal rites.

Although Mana Jagana died in the Ming Dynasty, the exchanges between the two countries have not been severed, the Su Bo mud green produced by Bo Ni contains several kinds of metals, and the porcelain fired with this grapefruit material has a black blue or navy blue crystal spots in the original bright blue, and the metallic tin light is slightly flashing, which has a unique charm. Later, the blue and white porcelain of the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty was almost monopolized by this imported pomelo material, if it were not for the Dutch to come and break this relationship, maybe Boni was still a subject country of the Central Plains.

On the contrary, if you can hoe out of the hands of the Dutch with the power of the Ming Dynasty, it is a good thing, at this time the Dutch of Bo Ni attacked the Portuguese Malacca, and has already withdrawn, but Bolkiah did not dare to really resist the Dutch, hearing that it was the battleship of the Ming Dynasty, Bolkiah was a little happy, and hurriedly summoned his most trusted minister Hayatta into the palace, and asked him to welcome the arrival of the Ming army on his behalf. 9。

When the Ming army was still a few miles away from the wharf, the Ming army of Bo Ni had already appeared, and in the face of such a large fleet, all the Bo Ni soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled, but the pressure of duty was still concentrated on the wharf, but no one dared to really stop the Ming army from boarding 6.

They had already learned the power of the Dutch's cannons and muskets. When they saw a larger number of artillery on the Ming fleet, where did they dare to resist? Even hundreds of Dutch can't beat them, how dare they deal with so many Ming troops. The Ming warship leaned on the horse's head, and the Bo Ni soldiers could only retreat step by step, and constantly drove away the people who rushed to see the excitement around. Some of them had already made up their minds to drop their weapons and flee as soon as the opposing army attacked.

When Hayatta arrived at the wharf, the Ming army had already docked ten small warships, and thousands of sailors were neatly lined up on the wharf, each of them holding a musket with bayonets, the shiny bayonets shining in the sun, and the whole wharf was full of murderous atmosphere. 2。

"In the name of the king~" Hayatta said, "Don't be rude to guests from afar!" "Hayatta ordered the soldiers, who had been retreating for a long time, to withdraw

When these soldiers heard Hayatta convey the king's order, they immediately felt like they had been pardoned, and they left cleanly in a blink of an eye, and the dock was full of fully armed Celestial Empire troops, and Hayatta did not know the bottom of his heart, he trembled and dared to walk towards the Ming army.

"Stop!" Hayatta is still more than ten steps away from the nearest Ming soldiers, and several Ming soldiers in front of him have pointed at Hayatta with their black holes, Hayatta clearly knows the power of this weapon, the Dutch are relying on muskets to conquer the country of Boni, and once went into the mountains to deal with the Dayak people, even the most brave Dayak people can not resist the attack of bullets. 5。

He hurriedly shouted in Chinese: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, I am the envoy of the Bo Ni Kingdom, and I have come to ask to see your general." "He is also quite fluent in Chinese. Hayata's Chinese was passed on to him by his father, mainly to read and understand the books brought from the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that it would have a more important use now.

Hearing Hayata's words, several soldiers glanced at each other before putting down their guns, Hayatta breathed a sigh of relief, he was in his heart, Bo Ni had received the Ming fleet twice in hundreds of years, at that time the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not weaker than the current fleet, but there was no offense against Bo Niqiu, Hayatta secretly prayed, bless this fleet will be the same as the Ming fleet more than two hundred years ago.

"You wait!" With that, one of the soldiers turned and walked towards the docks, apparently promising to inform Hayata.

Hayatta was quickly brought to Shi Lang's face, and seeing Shi Lang's young face, Hayatta couldn't help but doubt whether he could call the shots, but he just looked at the Ming army on both sides, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to plop down and kneel: "Hayata, the little minister of Bo Ni, knocked on the general of the Celestial Empire." ”

Seeing that the envoys sent by Bo Ni were so respectful, Shi Lang also generously changed his courtesy, and he couldn't lose the prestige of my Heavenly Empire in front of such a small country. "Your name is Hayata, don't you have to be so polite, get up." Shi Lang also grew up at sea since he was a child, and he has been to the South Seas with his father many times, and he is no stranger to the people of the South Seas

Hayatta hurriedly got up, secretly saying in his heart that the Celestial Empire was a state of etiquette after all, and perhaps the situation was really as the king expected, and the army of the Celestial Empire was just passing by.

"Where is the ruler of your country? When the army of the Celestial Empire arrives, why don't you come to greet it with a guard of honor? Shi Lang asked

Hayatta smiled and said cautiously: "Your Excellency General, when His Majesty the King heard that the army was coming, he prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome your arrival. ”

Shi Lang said: "In this case, then you can lead the way, and I will go and meet your king." ”

Hayatta glanced at the Ming army who kept coming ashore, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked: "I don't know what the army of the kingdom is doing here?" If small countries need help, they will do their best. ”

Shi Lang smiled and asked, "Will you really do your best?" ”

"In front of the kingdom, how dare you tell lies. Definitely, definitely. Hayatta replied quickly

Shi Lang said with a big grin: "I heard that Erbang is being bullied by the Dutch red hair, as the upper country of the Erguo country, His Majesty the Ming Emperor is extremely angry and ordered the army of the Celestial Empire to come and expel the Dutch red hair. ”

Hayatta was overjoyed and said, "General, Bo Ni is willing to send troops to assist the Celestial Empire in the war!" ”

Shi Lang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to send troops, the army of the Celestial Empire can be completed, just see that your rabble is not the material for war, the country only needs to provide grain and grass for the army and repair the ships." 1。 ”

Hayata's heart jumped, thinking that it was really as black as a crow in the world, and it wasn't a knock-off, so he asked cautiously: "I don't know how many Celestial Empire troops are coming, and how much grain and grass materials do our country need to prepare?" I also ask the adults to give a specific amount, so that our country can prepare well in advance, so that the war will not be put on hold because we can't take out too much grain and grass, and the little envoy can be sure of it. ”

"Not much~" Shi Lang stretched out two fingers, "Twenty thousand troops are used in January!" ”

Hayatta gasped, all the people of Bo Ni add up to more than 100,000 people, although the products are abundant, but such a sum of money and food can be used to empty all the treasury of Bo Ni, and there are still years of savings.

As soon as Shi Lang saw Hayata's face, he knew that he was in a dilemma, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, since the country of Er is a subordinate of my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, how can I treat the country of Er lightly?" This grain and grass will be bought and sold at a fair price here by our army. ”

Hayatta was immediately overjoyed, yes, the Celestial Empire is not a barbarian in the West, the most particular about courtesy and exchanges, in the past, when going to the Celestial Empire to pay tribute, you can often get several times the reward, maybe this grain and grass can also increase the price a little, isn't it God wants to make Bo Ni wealth, Hayata suddenly patted his chest: "Rest assured, General, Bo Ni will definitely do his best to raise food and grass for the army." ”

Bo Ni is small, but the national strength has accumulated for hundreds of years, more than 100 years when the king is the strongest not only includes the entire Borneo, but also extends to Luzon, although it has declined a lot now, and has been looted by the Netherlands for many years, it is still not to be underestimated, the golden wall built by the royal palace is brilliant, covers a vast area, and the large square in front of the palace can accommodate more than 1,000 people.

Hayatadi took Shi Lang to the main square of the palace, and saw that Shi Lang's hundreds of soldiers also walked straight towards the palace, and hurriedly turned around and said: "The general will wait for a while, and the little envoy will go in immediately to inform the king and ask the king to come out to greet the lord." 4。 ”

Shi Lang laughed: "After all, the lord of the country is the lord of a country, and the general should visit him in person." After saying that, Shi Lang's soldiers gently pushed Hayatta away, carried muskets, and carried steel knives straight into the palace

King Bolkiah was sitting in the main hall of the palace at this time, happily watching the palace chief directing his servants to prepare a banquet for the upcoming generals of the Celestial Empire, and the ministers of Bo Ni with a bit of status gathered around Bolkiah, talking loudly about the wealth and benevolence of the Celestial Empire, their ancestors and some people went to the Ming Dynasty to see the Great Tomorrow, and received a lot of rewards, and many of the treasures in their collection came from the Celestial Empire.

A guard stumbled in: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, General Mingguo is here." ”

Bolkiah frowned and scolded: "What's wrong, there are a few generals here, don't invite them in quickly!" ”

The guard gasped and said, "Only one came." ”

Borkia Payment, one or the better, the fewer people who come, the easier it is to say that it is not good, it is a big deal to spend some money to sell. 2。

"But the general brought hundreds of soldiers into the palace and dispersed all the palace guards."

"What?" Bolkiah was shocked, and hundreds of soldiers entered the palace to return, he could no longer sit still, and the other ministers of Bo Ni also began to talk.

Bolkiah was about to get up, Shi Lang and the others had already entered the main hall, and when they saw more than 200 troops with weapons entering the main hall, the servants of the palace all exclaimed in surprise and shrank aside one by one. There was also a panicked look on the faces of the ministers.

Shi Lang saw at a glance a fat man standing in the middle of the position, wearing a gorgeous dress, wearing a crown, his whole body was also covered with all kinds of jewels, in order to welcome the generals from the Celestial Empire, Bolkiah put on the most expensive dress, no need to guess, Shi Lang also knew that he was the king of Bo Ni.

"Are you the lord of Bo Ni?" Shi Lang asked

Bolkiah looked at Shi Lang blankly, unable to understand what Shi Lang said, and Hayatta hurriedly translated

Bolkiah listened to the translation before replying, "I am Bolkiah, the king of the Boni Kingdom. 9。 ”

Shi Lang nodded and said: "The holy decree of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Empire has arrived, and the lord of the Boni Kingdom has received the decree~~ Kneel!" ”

Hayatta had no choice but to translate it literally, and Bolkiah frowned and said: "My country is not a subject country of the Ming Kingdom, and I am also the king of a country, why should I kneel?" ”

Shi Lang did not answer, but put away the holy decree, looked at Hayata, and said, "Lord Hayata, if I kill him. Shi Lang pointed at Bolkia and continued: "Let you be the lord of the Boni country, are you willing to kneel to accept the holy decree?" ”

"This~" Hayatta was speechless for a moment

Bolkiah didn't understand what Shi Lang was saying, but urged Hayatta to say, "What did he say? Tell me quickly! ”

"This~" Hayatta was even more speechless, and hesitated for a long time before Hayatta told Bolkiah that Shi Lang said that if Bo Ni was unwilling to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, then he would abolish the throne of his king and elect someone else as the king of Bo Ni.

The thing that worried Bolkiah the most was born, and Bolkiah had no choice but to kneel down obediently and accept the throne of King Boni canonized by the Ming Emperor and become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Bo Ni used to have frequent contacts with the Ming Dynasty, there are thousands of Han people on the island, they are mostly engaged in maritime trade, although the number is small, but they have a lot of wealth, they are all local figures, Shi Lang entrusted these Han people with important tasks, the official position, and specially dispatched two hundred officers and soldiers of the water division for its call, the Ming army in a few days will be firmly in control of the situation of Bo Ni.

Subsequently, Shi Lang established the first overseas naval base of Daming at the confluence of the Kapuas River and the Lanta River on the west bank of Borneo. The river is wide and deep, and it can be penetrated deep into Borneo6, making it a natural harbour. This is an ancient port, and in the past, people from other countries sailed here to exchange pepper, dried pepper, sugar cane and other goods from the locals, and the whole of Pontianak combined was less than 10,000 people, all of them were local Turks, not even chiefs. These indigenous people live a self-sufficient life. Men grow rice and hunt, women raise livestock and take care of household chores at home, and do not want to have more contact with outsiders, let alone outsiders are allowed to enter their dwellings, which are built longhouses, each of which is inhabited by hundreds of people, and the head of the longhouse is elected by them to be responsible for the management of the entire longhouse.

After Shi Lang arrived, he gradually gained a firm foothold through the Han Chinese who were doing business in the Boni Kingdom and approached these natives. Then, when the naval base of Pontianak was built, the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong also arrived at Pontianak, and the Ming army was now offensive and defensible.

Just when Li Longman thought that the overall situation in the southeast had been decided to return to Nanjing to prepare for the establishment of Yingtian University, suddenly, the envoy of Jinyiwei Fujian sent a letter from Jinyiwei's branch in Manila. Li Long took the letter and looked at it, his face turned pale at first, and then turned into iron blue, and the letter slipped down Li Long's trembling fingertips.

Li Xin picked up the letter from the ground and looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he was very angry: "Francophile slaughtered my merchants? ”

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yingtian on the side, is a native of Nan'an, Fujian, and has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he also knows that many people in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Fujian Province make a living overseas and do business. Hong Chengchou said: "As far as the minister knows, this is not the first time that the Francophile people have killed our overseas businessmen. In the thirty-first year of Wanli and the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Franco-Jiyi people in Luzon killed my Chinese people twice! ”

Li Long suppressed his anger, looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Then how do we think we should deal with this matter?" At this time, Hong Chengchou's identity was a scholar of Wenhuadian University, the crown prince Shaobao and the governor of Yingtian.

Hong Chengchou said: "The four people of China, the businessmen are the cheapest, how can they be untouchables, and they will start a military revolution, and it is a pity to abandon them!" ”

"What?" As soon as Li Long heard this, he immediately rushed up angrily, and roared: "What do you mean by being the cheapest businessman?" ”

Li Xin also frowned, he knew that Li Long had always attached great importance to businessmen, didn't Hong Chengchou's words touch Li Long's scales?

Who knew that Hong Chengchou was calm and calm, and said: "Grandpa, don't be in a hurry to get angry, listen to the old minister's words!" ”

"What does the scholar want to say?" Li Long suppressed his anger again

Hong Chengchou said unhurriedly: "The old minister said, 'It's a pity to abandon it', but now it's different from the past. 8。 Lao Chen checked the accounts of the past two years, and the financial and tax paid by the merchants, especially the merchants who made a living overseas, stood at two-thirds of Yingtianfu, more than half of the country. It's a pity to abandon it now, it's a faint person to talk stupidly. ”

"Damn it~" Li Long realized that he was tricked by Hong Chengchou

Li Xin also said on the side: "Scholar, you know that my grandfather is urgent, what can't you say directly?" Look at the grandpa in a hurry! ”

Hong Chengchou had the pleasure of prank, and said with a smile: "It's the old minister's, isn't it." 9。 After saying that, he saluted Li Long and said: "The old minister thinks that now the maritime merchant is the humerus of the Ming Dynasty's finance and taxation, and there is a saying among the people that cutting off people's financial routes is equivalent to killing their parents." Moreover, the Franc Jiyi people slaughtered our country's overseas people like this, if I ignore it, it will damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming clan learns, they will be despised, so the old minister thinks that he should be punished by the soldiers to promote my great tomorrow's might! ”

"Okay~" Li Long said happily: "Then the preparation of Yingtian University Hall, there will be more trouble for Lao University." This time to go out to the Franc Jiyi people, the national government will personally go out. ”

Li Long has always despised the enemy strategically and valued the enemy tactically. In order to build an attack on Manila this time, Li Long was also prepared for a long-term battle. He decided to build a base in Cebu in the southern Philippines first.

Cebu is the place where the famous navigator Magellan first landed in the Philippines and where he died. 8。 In that year, Magellan coerced the local chiefs in Cebu to submit to Spain and pay tribute to the Spanish king. Lapu-Lapu, the leader of Mactan Island, a coral island near Cebu, firmly refused. After receiving the report, Magellan personally led the iron-clad Spanish army to attack Mactan Island. Lapu-Lapu led the islanders to rise up against the Spanish colonists, repelling the invaders and killing Magellan.

The Spaniards took possession of Luzon in 1565 and established the first Asian colony in Cebu, followed by the occupation of Luzon in 1571. The Spaniards in Luzon were not satisfied with this, and as the Spaniards' trade with Japan began, they also had a disagreement with Taiwan, which was located between Luzon and Japan. In the summer of 1598 (in the 26th year of the reign of Mingshenzong), the Spaniards were sent by the Philippine Governor General to lead two ships and more than 200 soldiers to prepare to occupy Taiwan. 1。

Due to the advance of the sailors, the Ming warship has arrived at the port of the outer islands of Cebu. The pioneer Gan Hui sent a small boat to report, asking Li Long to wait on the big ship for a while, and then ask Li Long to go ashore after capturing the port outside Cebu, and after Zhou Guoqing and his troops boarded 6 to occupy the whole island.

Although Cebu City was the first colonial fortress established by the Spaniards and the second largest city in the Philippines at that time, the Spanish governor only arranged a few small gunboats outside Cebu Island, repaired two small batteries that were acceptable to scare the natives, and encountered a large number of Ming naval gunboats, but a few rounds of shells, none of them hit the Ming naval division, and they were all sunk by a salvo of Ming naval guns.

The more than 200 Spanish troops stationed on the island of Cebu only fired a few shots each, and when they saw a large number of Ming troops boarding6, they immediately lowered their guns and surrendered. Their massacre of unarmed Chinese and natives was naturally fierce, and when they encountered an army stronger than themselves, they immediately chose to surrender.

However, Li Long did not spare these colonizers whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese, so he specially ordered the Ming army not to take prisoners. 8。 The Spaniards of the Ming army who went ashore in advance put down the muskets in their hands, raised their hands and stepped out of the defense line, but they still did not stop shooting, and when the Spanish soldiers in the front row were knocked to the ground, those soldiers who came to their senses wanted to resist with guns, but they were swords and guns by the 6 fighters of the 4,000 Ming Army Naval Division, and their bodies were full of holes and blood flowed for a long time. In less than an hour, there was not a single gunshot fired on the outer islands of Cebu.

"What are you going to do? Quickly ordered someone to drag these corpses away, so bloody, what can I do if I am frightened! Zhou Guoqing laughed and scolded the soldiers

A few bold soldiers replied with a smile: "Our grandfather was born in the army, and he has fought so many big and small battles, how many dead people will he be afraid of?" ”

Zhou Guoqing scolded with a smile: "The monkey cub dares to talk back? Even if you are not afraid of the dead, you can't let your grandfather step on a pile of dead corpses into the city, right? ”

When Li Long landed on the 6th island and walked to the residence of the Spanish officer, he saw the corpses of the Spanish who had been killed lying around, which were piled up like firewood by the soldiers of the Ming army, and then piled with firewood and grass, and poured fire oil on it. 1。

"Bring the local natives to the Chinese people, I want to see them!" Li Long ordered, standing here, even if there is not even a slightly larger tree. Said with a smile: "This Spanish man made this fortress with his heart, not to mention condescendingly, there are wooden fences around it to defend, and the surrounding trees are all flat land, and the natives want to attack, but they are also seen from afar." ”

Seeing the war, the Chinese and natives on the island hid in the woods. Li Long stood in the Spanish governor's mansion, waiting for his legs to be numb, when he saw a group of Ming soldiers escorting a group of civilians with more than ten people.

Li Long asked in Chinese, "Are there Han Chinese among you?" ”

The soldier replied, "I found a few old Han Chinese, and the accent was from Fujian." ”

Li Long looked at the sun, only to see those Han people in tattered clothes, their bodies withered, one year old Han people, because they saw Li Long look at him, immediately frightened all over the body

Li Long walked down from the height, came to the old man, and asked cordially: "Old man, don't be afraid, I am Li Long, the Duke of Anguo of the Ming Dynasty, and I am here to make decisions for the Han people in Luzon." 7。 ”

Those people didn't dare to answer at first, but when Gan Hui asked a few questions in Hokkien, a middle-aged man reluctantly replied: "Master Jun, we are all from Zhangzhou, Fujian. Because I haven't spoken Chinese for a long time, I was speechless for a while, not intentionally slacking off, please atone for my sins! ”

Li Long smiled and said, "What do you do here, and when did you come here?" When I saw the clansmen, what were you afraid of! ”

The old man replied again: "Report to the military master, the villain still came to Luzon during the Jiajing period, and has always made a living by making shoes for the Luzon people. Arriving on this island of Cebu was only a dozen years ago. ”

The old man hesitated, peeked at the clothes of Li Long and the others, and suddenly knelt on the ground and cried and asked, "Please ask the military master, but you came from Daming?" ”

Li Long saw him trembling in fear, so he helped him up first, and said gently: "Exactly, I am Li Long, the prince of Anguo and the Ming Dynasty, because I heard that our overseas Chinese were bullied by Hongyi in Luzon, so I brought troops to make decisions for you." 7。 Don't be afraid, old man, get up, I'll ask you. ”

As soon as the old man cried, the Han people behind him immediately couldn't hold it, and they also started crying. Li Long listened to their miserable crying, and when it was difficult to persuade them for a while, he ordered people to bring clean clothes and food, and when their crying gradually subsided, he continued to persuade them, and finally persuaded this group of Han people who wept incessantly.

Li Long asked again: "You obviously know that we are Han Chinese, do you still have any scruples?" ”

The old man who was originally afraid of trembling replied: "Master Jun, the little one is named Lin Guofeng, seven years ago (1639), Hongyi killed the Han people, first the red-haired devil did it himself, and then there were too many Han people, and he couldn't kill it, so he recruited the local natives and the scum among the Han people, gave weapons, and did it together." Kill a Han man and reward a piece of cloth. More than 30,000 Han Chinese were killed in ten days, and the river near Manila was full of corpses on both sides, and the eldest son of the old man was tied up with a rope by the scum of the Han people, and pushed into the river with stones along with a dozen clansmen, and drowned. 8。 If I hadn't fled quickly, I would have died there that day. Half a year has passed, and the nearby river still smells of corpses, and the fish in the river have eaten human flesh and become fat, and all the people dare not eat the fish. ”

Speaking of this, the old man trembled angrily, and said angrily: "It's okay for the red-haired people to kill the Han people, and there are also scum among the natives and Han people to help kill together, if not, just those thousands of red-haired devils, let's fight with them, what can we do?" ”

Hearing the old man say this, the faces of the people present were all angry, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded that 30,000 Han people in Luzon were slaughtered, and the official record of the Spaniards was 25,000. At first, the Spaniards deceived the Han Chinese and confiscated their weapons for various reasons, and the Han Chinese who had gone through the Manila Massacre in Wanli advised the new Han Chinese who came to Manila to make a living not to be fooled. However, the inferior nature of the Chinese people's infighting was exposed at this time. Some Chinese went so far as to report to the Spanish colonial authorities that their compatriots were secretly hiding weapons. As a result, after the massacre began, these traitors who betrayed their compatriots did not end well. 3。

At this time, he saw the survivors of the massacre standing alive in front of him, talking about the tragic situation of that year, Li Long only felt that the stuffy breath in his chest was clogged, and he was uncomfortable like a cotton ball.

The hot-tempered Zhou Guoqing also said angrily: "Don't cry, old man, wait for me to defeat Luzon, and you will find some Han people who did not die that day to identify the murderers, and those who participated in the massacre that day, you say that you will come out, and I will behead them and avenge everyone!" ”

The old man was happy at first, and then asked with a stubborn face: "My lord, what should those red hairs do?" ”

Zhou Guoqing laughed when he heard this, and said to the Ming soldiers beside him: "Brothers, tell me how my grandfather told me to wait!" ”

Those Ming soldiers were angry in the chest of what the old man said, and when they heard Zhou Guoqing's question, they shouted out loudly and said in unison: "The grandfather has an order, blood debts and blood are repaid, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, all the red-haired people, regardless of men, women and children, will be killed!" ”

These Han people in front of them all escaped from the massacre, and they hated the murderers who slaughtered the Han people to the core, and they were overjoyed when they heard Li Long's order not to spare them, and the bereaved relatives immediately knelt down again, prayed that day, and persuaded the spirits of their relatives in the sky to be blind.

Later, Li Long asked the Han Chinese, who were fluent in the local native language, to tell the indigenous tribal leaders in Cebu that they would join the Ming army in attacking the Spaniards. Unbeknownst to them, these natives refused to cooperate, and Lin Guofeng told Li Long that these natives had actually participated in the previous atrocities of Tuhua.

Li Long was furious, "Shame on your face!" So he sent a large army to forcibly load the island's natives onto ships and transport them to the front line in Manila.

The fleet sailed all night and reached the sea of Manila, where the Ming army immediately captured Miyan, and the Spanish defenders fled in boats, and the fleet advanced victoriously towards Manila. Li Long, the god of soldiers, immediately ordered the vanguard to lead 700 elite soldiers to attack Manila by night. Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly at night, wind and rain, huge waves like mountains, half of the 6 ships sank, and more than 200 people were lost.

Li Long asked the old man Lin Guofeng about the situation in Manila, and told him that the Ming Dynasty had already sent Jinyi Wei to infiltrate Manila and contact the local Han Chinese. When the army attacked the port, they set fire to the city to attract the Spanish army to return to the defense.

The old man Lin Guofeng shook his head and said: "There was a spy among the Han people that day, and the Han people were killed too badly that time, everyone was frightened, and they would not easily trust strangers, I am afraid that no one would dare to come forward." However, the old man Lin Guofeng muttered again: "There are not many red-haired people in Luzon, even the army and the people, at most there are four or five thousand people. If we talk about the army alone, it is no more than about 2,000 people at most. ”

Gan Hui smiled when he heard this: "With the strength of our army's naval division, we can easily break through the port without internal response." As for the city, I don't think there is any problem with General Zhou, right? ”

Zhou Guoqing patted his chest and said, "Look at me carrying a stack of red hair." ”

Li Long waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why do we need our Ming soldiers to die?" Zhou Guoqing, you immediately bring Lin Guofeng and a few other elders who are familiar with Luzon affairs, and at the same time bring a large group of people to search the surrounding Turen villages, detain their leaders, elders, and the like, and then let each village send strong men to attack the city for us. ”

At this time, Li Xin went to count the grain and grass materials, and Gu Junen, who was not around, said with a smile: "Grandpa, this trick is really wonderful, when the Mongols attacked the city, they also drove the people of the enemy country to take the lead in the front. Now in this Manila city, there must be a lot of natives who work for the red hair of the Buddha Franc, we attack the natives with the natives, which can not only reduce the casualties of our army, but also confuse the enemy's heart, clever plan! ”

Li Long took Gu Junen back and said, "Since it's a clever plan, why don't you help?" ”

"Order!"

Before Zhou Guoqing left, he brought a young man to see Li Long and said, "Grandpa, this is the brother of the last general Fujian, named Zhou Guobin, who has only served in the army recently. Because I have been in Fujian for a long time, I know a lot of Nanyang terroir, and I hope to stay by my grandfather's side and serve my grandfather. ”

"Zhou Guobin?" Li Long repeated his name, "But that Zhou Guobin from Tong'an Huzhou, Fujian? ”

Zhou Guobin saluted and said: "The young general is Zhou Guobin of Huzhou." Zhou Quanbin is a native of Fujian Tong'an Huzhou, both civil and military, when Zhou Guobin was in Guazhou in history, Zhou Quanbin bravely led his troops to float first, rushed straight to the enemy's formation, and was hit by five arrows, and the momentum was more prosperous, and the armies followed, so they captured Guazhou.

"Since you know the terroir of the South Seas, how much do you know about the red hairy people of the South Seas?" Li Long asked

Zhou Guobin replied: "First of all, the young general wants to say to his grandfather that these red-haired Yi people are not 'yi' at all. 'Yi' is my Ming Dynasty's contempt for the barbarians who have not yet been enlightened. I am conceited that the Heavenly Empire is superior, and I regard other countries as barbarians who have not been enlightened, which is a big fallacy. For example, the red hair of Macao and the red hair of Luzon, many skills are far above our country, not to mention, the Franc machine gun, the red cannon and other sharp weapons are not all from the red hair people where to introduce my Ming Dynasty? ”

Li Long was stunned for a moment, he was deeply surprised by Zhou Guobin's words, and he couldn't imagine that there were already such people in the Ming Dynasty who opened their eyes to see the world, so he appreciated Zhou Guobin more and more.

Zhou Guobin said: "I have always thought that the world is big, but between the borders of the Ming Dynasty, when Matteo Ricci presented the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu", I knew that the world of the Ming Dynasty is only one percent of the real world. It's ridiculous that I have been a frog at the bottom of the well for so many years, and now I hear that my grandfather is studying in the West, and I deeply feel that the future of the Ming Dynasty will be all tied to my grandfather. So, I'm here to help. ”

"Well said!" Li Long praised: "It's rare to have a far-sighted and open-minded person like you, and there will be many places where you will be used in the future." You don't want to go to the front, stay with me and listen to it at any time. ”

Zhou Guobin bowed again: "Thank you grandpa for your promotion!" ”

Zhou Guoqing, as the commander of the first army, was equipped with a telescope, and at this time, the pier was still nearly two miles away from Manila, so he escaped from the telescope on his waist and put it in front of him to look in the direction of the castle. After watching it for a long time, Xiang Xiang smiled at the people around him: "This city built by the red-haired man is really strange." What did you do with such a high spire? "The city of Manila is now only a large castle built by the Spaniards, including the governor's mansion, chambers of commerce, churches and other Spanish-style buildings, outside the castle, there are local natives and Chinese residences, these houses are scattered on the north bank of the Bashi River, the castle is firmly encircled in the center. Because of the massacre more than 20 years ago, Manila could not find shoemakers, carpenters, mechanics, and transit merchants for a while, and the Bashi River was full of the corpses of the Han people who had been killed, and the stench inside the city was so bad that the river water outside the city was undrinkable. A large number of people who originally lived on the southern shore of the sea moved to the north shore, away from the center of the castle at that time. At this time, although more than 20 years have passed, many Han people have forgotten the tragedy of those years and have moved from the coast of China and the islands of the South Seas. At this time, a large number of Han people gathered in Manila City.

The Spanish regular army in Manila, which had 4,000 men, lost six or seven hundred men in the naval battle, and another 500 men were distributed on the docks. Now the defenders of Manila are about 2,900 men. It's just that there are more than 4,000 natives in the city, and these natives can't help much in the artillery battle, but they are useful for sending death or repairing the city walls, which makes the Spaniards defending the city very easy
