Soon the fleet slowly landed and was ready to land.

Looking at this huge fleet, the elegant old man and the others were all excited and could not control themselves.

They all whispered in their mouths: "It's really a Celestial Empire army, it's really a Celestial Empire army." ”

At this time, they were extremely proud in their hearts, this was their Celestial Empire army, and the Celestial Empire was finally going to make a move against Nanyang.

In the face of the powerful strength of the Celestial Empire, those Nanyang natives and Western Hongyi will not be as dusty as local chickens and dogs.

Soon a soldier began to board the dock, and the elegant old man stood with his hands bowed respectfully.

In a sparse banana grove in the distance, several Spanish cavalrymen came here in a simple manner following the wolf smoke, and couldn't help but curse after seeing the situation here.

"I knew that these Tang people were unreliable, and they really took refuge in the Ming Dynasty."

"We really shouldn't have allowed them to live here, we should have killed them all a long time ago."

They all said.

"Let's withdraw first, and report the situation here to His Excellency the Governor."

Hearing this, the Spanish cavalry nodded one after another.

The enemy's strength is too strong, and their cavalry is not qualified to be their opponent.

The dock was so rudimentary that the soldiers were very slow to get ashore.

After a long time, thousands of soldiers finally gathered on the shore.

Chen Qingzhi, Wu Weizhong, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Han Xin and others also walked down from the boat.

This time, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Han Xin came to observe how to attack the fortress at the request of Lu Yan.

Say more. It's better to let them see it for themselves.

I believe that with their talents, as long as they can adapt to the current war, then they can all become generals on one side.

None of them commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses back then. This is a very rare talent in ancient times when communications were backward.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been fewer and fewer million-scale wars.

Seeing some people dressed as generals walking down, the elegant old man and his clansmen hurriedly greeted him.

"The old Lin Jiang will lead the whole Lin clan to meet the generals, and our Lin clan wishes you a great victory over Hongyi in this battle, conquer Manila, and raise the prestige of the Ming army in all directions."

The elegant old man and the others said respectfully.

Chen Qingzhi glanced at them, then nodded lightly.

"You're very good. The prince of our family said, although you have left the Ming Dynasty. But with his homeland in his heart, he is still a loyal citizen of my Ming Dynasty. In the future, all the descendants of Yan and Huang, no matter which overseas vassal country they are in, will be protected by my Ming Dynasty. ”

Lü Yan had long since had enough of the oppression and massacre of the Chinese in the previous generation overseas.

Therefore, in this life, Lu Yan wants to thoroughly implement his hegemonism. At the very least, he wanted to ensure that the overseas Chinese would not be oppressed and slaughtered.

Although some Chinese in later generations left China, they still enthusiastically donated money during the Anti-Japanese War and made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war, which cannot be erased.

What's more, the Chinese in this era have a deep-rooted admiration for the Celestial Empire, even if they are overseas, they still think that the Ming Dynasty is the real Celestial Empire, and those Hongyi or Nanyang natives are just a group of barbarians.

At that time, the Wanli Emperor heard that there was a gold mine in Jiyi Mountain in Luzon, and he could deposit 1o thousand taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver per year.

So he sent Shihe, the king of Haicheng County, and Baihu Gan Yicheng to look for minerals. The Spaniards, thinking they were going to occupy Luzon, captured them and wanted to kill them.

But the Chinese did their best to ensure that these envoys were able to return home safely.

This is one of the reasons why the Spaniards decided to massacre the Chinese. They felt that the Chinese were unreliable, and if the Ming Dynasty attacked Luzon in the future, these Chinese would be the answer.

Hearing this, Lin Jianghui and the others couldn't help but cry excitedly.

"King Wu's great kindness to our Lin family, our Lin family must remember it in our hearts. In the future, King Wu will have an order, and our Lin family will definitely go to the soup. No excuses. If we break this oath, we will be wiped out. Come to a sticky end. ”

Lin Jianghui and the others cursed and swore on their knees.

Lu Yan's words really made them very happy, in fact, at that time, the Ming Dynasty forbade the people to move overseas, otherwise they would be regarded as outcasts of the Celestial Empire, and they would even think that they had betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

When Spain slaughtered the Chinese in Manila, although the Ming Dynasty was very angry, it still did not send troops to attack in the end, which is also one of the reasons.

Lu Yan's words can be regarded as defining their personalities, telling them that you are not outcasts of the Celestial Empire, and you are still loyal people of the Celestial Empire.

And he will protect them, since ancient times people have left their homeland, let alone abroad.

"The old man has 300 stone of grain and some medicines hidden not far away, and the general does not know that this Luzon is hot and humid, and there are mosquitoes everywhere, and if there is no such medicine, the sergeants are very easy to get sick."

Lin Jianghui continued.

"You've done a great job."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi was finally moved.

That's all that food, it's very easy to transport food by sea, and it's not a lot of consumption on the road.

Their ships were all ballasted with grain, so they were very well fed.

But those drugs are extremely precious, and not everyone can adapt to the hot and humid environment of Luzon.

In ancient times, it was not uncommon for people to die on a large scale due to expeditions.

It can be said that Lin Jianghui's preparation does not know how many soldiers' lives can be saved.

Hearing this, Lin Jiang smiled quite smugly.

Then Lin Jianghui introduced his son, of course, this is the real point.

After seeing Lin Quanqing, Chen Qingzhi and the others also nodded.

Although Lin Quanqing seems to be a talent, I don't know how many such talents there are in Jiangnan.

Even those who were sent here were better than him.

However, their Lin family has made such a great contribution to King Wu. Of course, those who should be rewarded still have to be rewarded, and a promoter is indispensable.

After receiving the reassurance of Chen Qingzhi and others, the Lin family was like taking a reassuring pill. The strength to work for the Ming Dynasty is also more sufficient.

****

At this time, the atmosphere in Manila was quite tense, and after learning that the Ming Dynasty had sent a large army to invade, some Chinese were excited and afraid.

In order to avoid the wrath of the Spaniards, they fled Manila and took refuge in the Dalun Mountains.

After the massacre of the Chinese, many people hid in this mountain to fight guerrilla warfare with the Spaniards.

Those Luzon natives are also very frightened, of course, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty is like thunder, and they are definitely the hegemon-level countries in this sea. Almost all nations have to pay tribute to it and honor it as their lord.

Even after the Spanish occupied Luzon. It is also to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and ask for trade with the Ming Dynasty in the form of tribute.

Therefore, they were all frightened by the coming of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, the natives who participated in the last massacre of the Chinese were even more restless. Fearing that it would be liquidated by the Ming army.

In a lavish conference room, some Spanish officers were engaged in a heated discussion about the matter.

This time the Ming Dynasty made a big move, and it must have been a bad one.

No one believed that after the Ming Dynasty sent so many troops to Luzon, they would return to the Ming Dynasty after just having some fun.

Especially after knowing that some Chinese secretly built a wharf in the south to meet the Ming army, some officers were even more angry and gritted their teeth, if it were not for the Ming Dynasty army to press the border, I am afraid that they would have asked for another massacre of the Chinese.

But as for how to deal with the Ming army, many officers were at a loss.

The previous Spaniards were absolutely arrogant, just in 1574. A Spanish colonist once proposed to King Philip II of Spain: "The country (Ming Dynasty) is very rich and densely populated...... If His Majesty is willing to dispatch, only 6o good Spanish soldiers will be able to conquer and suppress them. ”

&nb Personally, go and conquer the entire Ming Dynasty. What a presumptuous person would be able to say such a thing.

I'm afraid that Genghis Khan and Nurhachi together didn't dare to say that, but the Spaniards said so, and they were full of confidence.

Even Lavisares, the second governor of Spain at that time, had sent the situation around China and the atlas of China "Guangyu Tu" to the king of Spain, waiting for him to approve his invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after the great pirate Lin Feng attacked Manila once, the Spaniards no longer dared to be so arrogant.

In 1574, Lin Feng took 2ooo soldiers with him. 2ooo sailors and 15ooo women and children came to Manila.

This team of pirates alone nearly wiped out Manila completely.

However, later Lin Feng was worried that this might cause too many casualties. Instead of attacking Manila, he took root near Hawksbill Harbor (also known as Lingayen Bay) and established himself as king, receiving tribute from the nearby natives.

Since that place is not far from Manila, only about 22o kilometers.

Therefore, it was regarded as a henchman by the Spaniards, and later the Spaniards gathered 65o Spanish soldiers and hired the natives of 6ooo tattoo man island, almost twice as much as Lin Feng's military strength, and launched a sneak attack on Lin Feng.

After four months of fierce fighting, Lin Feng was defeated and finally left Luzon with 3o boats.

But after this war, the Spaniards no longer dared to underestimate the Ming Dynasty.

Even a group of pirates is so difficult to fight, let alone the Ming Dynasty, who claims to have an army of millions.

But now the Ming led tens of thousands of troops to attack Manila, which frightened many Spanish officers.

If it weren't for the more than 20 huge ships blocking Manila outside, I'm afraid some people would have offered to escape.

However, they still have the last hole card, which is the Ridge.

The fortress is notoriously difficult to fight, and if the enemy fails to take it down after several attacks, perhaps they will retreat.

Just then, a guard quietly pushed the door open and walked in.

Then he was told the news that the Chinese in the Chinese village in the north outside of Manila had fled.

Hearing this, Alonso waved his hand and told him to go down.

Seeing the officers still arguing, Alonso knocked on the table and motioned for them to be quiet.

"Everyone, be quiet, I think I will contact the generals of the Ming Dynasty. We should try to explain to them that we will investigate this matter strictly, and if someone really robs the treasure ship dedicated to King Wu, we will definitely hand over those merchants to the Ming army and make adequate compensation. ”

"But we should not also give up our preparations for war, and give me orders to withdraw all the soldiers stationed outside to Manila, and contact the indigenous chief in the vicinity, and tell him that I need their help. In addition, we should try to carry water and food to the city, and in short, we should be prepared for war and negotiations at the same time. ”

Although Alonso didn't know the word "salute before soldier", he knew that he should not provoke easily.

Otherwise, his soldiers would have suffered heavy losses, and it would have been great if the matter had been resolved peacefully.

The military attachés also nodded again and again when they heard this, this is definitely the safest method. (To be continued)
