In the third year of Jingyou, at the end of October 1o36 AD, the Great Song Expeditionary Force captured the city of Rijami in the central and western plains of Mayi, and since then, the Great Song Expeditionary Force has occupied a base that can provide strong logistical assistance to the expedition, while the Mayi Kingdom has lost the only grain-producing city in China.

Manila, the capital city of Mayi, is known as the pearl of Mayi, the beautiful harbor, the majestic city, and the grand port all show the status of Manila in the Mayi Kingdom, especially the 27-meter-high majestic city wall near the port in the west city of Manila, which is the pride of the people of Mayi.

Manila City has a radius of 22 miles and a population of more than 300,000, which is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, and is also a famous big city, and it is the most prosperous city in Mayi.

After Zhao Lei led the Great Song Navy to defeat the Ma Yi Navy, he led the intact fleet and 12,000 soldiers to join the fleets of Shi Qiang and Pang Song, which were cruising in the northern waters of Mayi, to fight in Manila, and soon occupied the outer waters of Manila.

At the end of October 1o36 A.D., Manila, which had not experienced war since the founding of the city, finally ushered in the retribution of greed, and more than 200 warships were like black forests covering the nearby seas, flying military flags, standing masts, and agitating sails. The strength of the Great Song Navy made the defenders of Manila panic, and the defeat of the Mayi Navy exacerbated the spread of fear in the city of Manila.

But when it really hit the periphery of Manila's harbor, Zhao Lei looked at the beautiful port, but began to hesitate.

The port of Manila is not large, but the coastline of 3,000 meters is not something that the defenders of Manila can hold. Therefore, after the defenders of Manila got the news of the attack of the Great Song Navy, they abandoned the port and retreated to the city completely, closing all the city gates, and putting on a dead guard.

The Great Song Dynasty naval fleet slowly drove into the periphery of Manila Port, Zhao Lei's flagship, escorted by dozens of Chinese fleets, rushed to the front of the fleet, and stopped two miles away from Manila Port.

"They all seem to be recruits. Looking at the expressions of those people, their faces were pale and frightened, and some people couldn't stand on their feet when they saw the fleet, it seemed that the 20,000 defenders of Manila were at least half led away by General An and Lord Fan's expeditionary force! "Looking through a telescope at the defenders on the walls of Manila. Pang Song, the commander of the rear army of the navy, said to the people around him in a deep voice.

"At least fifteen thousand veterans have gone, and the weapons in the hands of those newcomers are constantly changing the position of their grips, only recruits will have this kind of performance, and holding the weapon for a long time will form inertia. The more nervous you are, the less likely you are to change the position of your weapon! "Shi Qiang, who is in charge of training naval non-commissioned officers, has a poisonous eyesight that surprises everyone. He could tell the difference between veterans and recruits by glancing at the walls of Manila.

"It seems that King Ma Yi has been tricked, he lost 15,000 veterans to rescue Legamabi, then there are at most 30,000 defenders in Manila City, and eighty percent of the people of Ma Yi who have just picked up arms, take such a city, our navy of more than 20,000 people is enough, my lord, is it an order to attack Manila City directly!" Su Xun analyzed with a smile, and immediately asked Zhao Lei for an order to attack Manila.

Zhao Lei did not answer Su Xun's words. Instead, he frowned and looked at the high city wall of Manila West City, comparing the height of his naval battleship Triple Building, and finally came to the same height as the Triple Building Wall of Manila.

Manila Xichengtou is nearly three miles away from the harbor, and Zhao Lei can only shake his head helplessly to dispel this idea.

"The west wall of Manila is only three miles away from the harbor! Shenwu cannons can hit the city of Manila on a warship, you say that if you bombard these Mayi people with Shenwu cannons, will they be so frightened that they will surrender directly! "I have been in love with Shenwu artillery since the sea battle, and now I am transferred by Zhao Lei to a battleship loaded with Shenwu cannons on the ground Yang Jinhua, measuring the distance between the west city wall of Manila and the harbor, and now the Shenwu cannon can directly threaten the west city wall of Manila in the sea, Yang Jinhua immediately said in surprise.

Yang Jinhua's words seemed to open the skylight for Zhao Lei and Su Xun's brains, and after an instant, both of them opened their brains, and they thought at the same time that with the help of Shenwu artillery, if there was a little bit of external force, such as the fact that Li Jamabi was captured by the Great Song Expeditionary Force, would King Ma Yi of Manila City go out of the city and surrender directly! You must know that the power of Shenwu artillery is enough to deter any army that lacks courage, and Ma Yi's army is not very bold.

"Occupy the port of Manila first, unload the Shenwu artillery on the battleship, pull all of them to the west city of Mayi, aim at the west gate, and send envoys into Manila to persuade the king of Mayi to surrender." Zhao Lei finally made up his mind and ordered loudly to the admiral behind him.

……

Without any resistance, the Great Song Navy occupied the port of Manila West City, the capital of the Mayi Kingdom, and set up camp in the port, and blocked the road out of Manila West City Gate with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Thirty Shenwu artillery pieces were also unloaded from the battleship under Zhao Lei's order, and lined up two miles outside the west city of Manila, ready to deter the defenders of Manila.

The sun rises and sets, the time of the day passes quickly, the day after Zhao Lei occupied the port of Manila, a news that was very beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty Navy, but made King Ma Yi and the defenders of Manila very shocked and depressed The news reached the ears of Manila and Zhao Lei, that is, Manila's 15,000 troops to rescue the Jamabi were ambushed and routed by the Great Song Expeditionary Force, and less than 700 people fled back to Manila, and Generalissimo Ban Bo was also captured by the Great Song Expeditionary Force.

Zhao Lei, who got the news, was overjoyed. Immediately called Su Xun to discuss how to force King Ma Yi to surrender.

Another day passed, and the second even more shocking news also reached Manila, the Jamaica was captured by the Great Song Expeditionary Force, and Mayi not only lost the port of Manila, but also lost the transportation hub on 6, and the connection between Manila, the capital city of Mayi, and other cities was completely cut off.

After the news reached Manila and the harbor of the Great Song Naval Barracks. Su Xun was appointed as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and went to Manila to negotiate with King Mayi.

……

The Ma Yi people seem to be a little smarter than the Tufan people, at least they were not stupid enough to open the city gate to welcome Su Xun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, but used a hanging basket to hang Su Xun into Manila City to avoid the danger of the Great Song army taking the opportunity to attack Manila.

Although Manila is the capital of Mayi, its population and city size can be ranked in the top ten even in the Great Song Dynasty, but when it comes to prosperity, there is a big distance, after all, Mayi is only a small island country, and it is too far from the Great Song Dynasty in terms of resources and strength. Economy, culture and other aspects can only look up to the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Xun slowly walked to the palace in Manila under the supervision of hundreds of Ma Yi troops, and what he saw and heard along the way made Su Xun secretly surprised in his heart, although the exotic style did not conform to the way of Confucius and Mencius that Su Xun abided by, but it had a different taste when he tasted it carefully.

Manila's Mayi Palace is huge, this is the opinion of the people of Mayi! And a royal palace of this size. Su Xun shook his head when he saw it, he didn't expect that the Mayi Kingdom, which looked like a flower, was so stingy in the king's residence, and the entire palace was not as big as Zhao Lei's residence in Bianjing, this kind of building is called the palace. If it is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, it is really a bit insulting to the magnificence of those clan princes in the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Xun, who walked into the palace, saw the noble king of the Mayi Kingdom in the main hall of the Mayi Palace. A big fat man in his forties.

"Su Xun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, has seen King Ma Yi!" Su Xun saw the fat king who was high and high in the council hall, and bowed down and said indifferently, Su Xun had just spoken, and the translator who was trembling beside him who knew Ma Yi quickly translated the meaning of Su Xun's words to King Ma Yi.

The Fat King's spirit was very poor, his face was no longer the red light he had been a few days ago, and his face was as pale as the future fate of the Mayi Kingdom.

The council hall was deserted, Bambo was taken prisoner, and Liza died. The two major generals of the sea route of the Mayi Kingdom have left, and the only thing that the entire Mayi Kingdom can take out is only one political minister Dora, and in the main hall, only Dora accompanies the king of the Mayi who is about to die.

"Messenger of the Kingdom! I didn't expect that this king would actually see the envoy of the earthly kingdom who has been admiring him in this situation! The fat king looked at Su Xun sarcastically and said in a low voice.

"More than 100 merchant ships have been ransacked, more than 100 people of the Great Song Dynasty have been brutally killed, and the Great Song Dynasty court must give the people an explanation!" Su Xun looked at the fat king calmly, and said indifferently at all about the sarcasm in the fat king's tone.

"Confess! The Mayi Navy was almost completely annihilated by you, the Jamais was captured by you, and tens of thousands of Mayi soldiers died tragically in your hands, isn't this enough to explain! Hearing Su Xun's words, the fat king said with a gloomy smile on his face.

"This is different, the war between our army and the Ma Yi army is called war, and the looting of our merchant ships by the Ma Yi navy is called a crime! There is no right or wrong in war, but crime requires someone to come forward and take responsibility! Su Xun was unparalleled in his arguments, so he was naturally not so easily choked by the words of the fat king, and said with a sneer without thinking.

"Responsibility! I wonder what responsibility the envoy of the kingdom wants the king to bear? The fat king whispered weakly, he knew that things had come to this point, Ma Yi no longer had the strength to resist the Great Song Expeditionary Army, and he would burn the jade or survive in the world, I am afraid that there are only two choices.

"The king should know that the navy that Ma Yi took as a barrier has been completely defeated by the Great Song Navy, and the city of Li Jamabi on the central and western plains of Ma Yi has also been captured by the Great Song Expeditionary Force, and now Ma Yi has lost the strength to resist the Great Song Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before the country is destroyed, but my Great Song Emperor is merciful and can't bear to watch the Ma Yi royal family disappear into the flames of war, so this envoy brings a good choice, as long as the king announces the surrender of my Great Song Dynasty, the king is still the king of Ma Yi, but he has to move to Bianjing, The various rights of the Ma Yi Kingdom are controlled by the courtiers sent by my Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, my Great Song Dynasty and Ma Yi will be the country of father and son, and the king can also take the royal family members to enjoy his old age in the prosperous land of Bianjing, this kind of proposal must not be rejected by the king! Su Xun put forward the conditions he had discussed with Zhao Lei in a deep voice, and gave King Ma Yi a decent way to surrender.

"Presumptuous......" Hearing Su Xun's words, Dora, the only Ma Yi courtier in the main hall, looked at Su Xun with an angry face and shouted loudly, but as soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by King Ma Yi Fat.

"Give Ben Wang time to think about it!" The fat king's face became even paler, and his originally majestic expression became depressed and decadent at this time, and he waved his hand to Su Xun weakly and said.

"Three days, three days later, at least 40,000 troops will come to Manila City, if the king has not made up his mind, the Great Song Dynasty does not care about using knives and guns to help the king make up his mind, but at that time, the Mayi royal family may be difficult to continue in the war, don't forget that after the destruction of the Three Buddhas, the Zhu Yuan Empire killed all the royal members of the Three Buddhas!" Su Xun said in a cold and threatening tone.

(There was a logical error in the previous chapter, the Manila reinforcements were supposed to drown instead of freeze to death, and somehow I made a mistake in writing, sorry.) )
