Seeing off Sakai Tadashi, Zhao Lie stayed at home with the two ladies and children for a reunion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Lie felt that the decisive battle was getting closer and closer, and he cherished the opportunity to be with the children even more.

Because in the past few months, Zhao Lie has not gone far again, Zhao Cunren, Zhao Yan, and Zhao Cunli are also extremely close to Zhao Lie, and they are not unfamiliar in the past few months.

Nowadays, the Zhao family is more like a big nursery, Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunzhi, Zhao Cunli, Zhao Yan and the children of the Zhao family are not counted, and the children of Huang Han, Wan Ji, Ma Tao, Yu Dabao and others are also here to play and read books, and receive the enlightenment education planned by Zhao Lie together.

On this day, Zhao Lie Yu Dabao Zhao Da had just walked out of the door of the inner house, and saw Yu Dabao's son Yu Cheng sitting on the ground crying, and when he asked, he realized that it was Huang Han's son Huang Tingmu who snatched his dim sum.

Yu Dabao glared, "What are you crying about if you robbed you, just snatch it back, why are you so cowardly." ”

Yu Cheng sobbed, "My mother won't let me hit people." If you say you can't be like your father, you'll fight and kill. ”

Although Yu Cheng is only five years old, he has inherited Yu Dabao's genes, and he looks as tall as a child two years older than him, and he can fight with hard fists.

must have been what Wang Yue said, Yu Dabao immediately changed his head, "Eh, then you listen to your mother." ”

Zhao Lie laughed and patted Yu Dabao's shoulder, Yu Dabao was brave and good at fighting, but he was not interested in this Xiwen hyphenation, and Zhao Lie did not force it, it seems that Wang Yue saw something, and in the future, like Tang Xianwen and others, he will find a civil errand next to adults, which is decent enough, and safe, unlike Yu Dabao.

In other words, Wang Yue's obedience to Yu Dabao really means that the east does not dare to go west.

Yu Dabao's face was red, and even Zhao Da laughed.

Zhao Lie took out a few candies from his sleeve and handed them to Yu Cheng, Yu Cheng's small eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately took them and ate them.

"It's not like an adult saying goodbye." Yu Dabao glared again.

Yu Cheng pouted and was about to kneel down, Zhao Lie bent down and dragged Yu Cheng, he looked at Yu Dabao, "It's just a child, these etiquettes are exempt, Yu Dabao, you and Zhao Da have been with me for many years, just like brothers, when have these false etiquettes been exquisite." ”

Yu Dabao smiled stupidly.

Zhao Lie wiped Yu Cheng with his cuffs and wiped two black ways, while Yu Cheng took the candy and showed it to the other partners.

Seeing Yu Cheng's calves running backwards and running quickly, Zhao Lie and the three of them not only looked good, but the children's faces changed as fast as the sky in March.

"My lord, Lord Tang of the official office sent someone to report, saying that the ship that came back from Xiaoliuqiu brought a few Xiyi people back, and Lord Tang asked you to arrive at the official office as soon as possible."

A guard arrived from the front yard to report.

Zhao Lie smiled coldly, hehe, it should be time, months have passed, come to think of it, Manila and Batavia should also send people to discuss.

When the news of the defeat came back, there must have been a large number of Spaniards and Dutch people who could not sit still, not only as a matter of how many ships and men they lost, but also a question of the trade route with the Japanese after the trade route was controlled by the Broken Army, which was related to their survival.

Diego waited with Tusmi and Santos in the official hall of the government office for a long time, and at first only one official came out to receive them, saying that they were waiting for the adults and then withdrew.

Only a few military supervisors in Da Ming battle robes were left to watch them.

And these soldiers looked at them with extremely unkind eyes, not disdain, but with an indescribable taste, well, hostility, hatred.

When they figured it out, these people were a little chilled, after all, the attitude of the soldiers here often means the attitude of the leader of the Ming people.

I also understand that their nearly 100 Galen warships are also very strong, and these Ming people defeated and captured these warships, and they also paid the price of more than 100 warships, and the loss of personnel will not be less, of course these soldiers hate them.

In fact, they thought too well, in the last Xiaoliuqiu War, the casualties caused by the Xiyi people's warships to the broken army did not exceed a quarter of the total number of broken army, and the biggest loss to the broken army was the Zheng family's fleet, if it wasn't for this, they would definitely not sit here in peace, if it wasn't good, someone had already slashed and killed, you must know that the soldiers of the Broken Army and the Navy Division hated the Zheng family to the core.

Of course, without provoking a big war, without the containment and cooperation of the Galen battleship, the Zheng family would definitely not have caused so much damage to the Broken Army, so these soldiers hated these Xiyi people.

Diego pretended to sleep in order to calm down in this tense situation, and the so-called out of sight and out of mind was not.

He remembered that when the news of the defeat came, the entire Wangcheng area of Manila was silent, and you must know that the warships anchored in Manila now, even the smallest two mainmast warships combined, were only thirteen, but it was a difficult task to protect the Philippines, which was thousands of islands of all sizes.

The two ships that escaped described the cannons of the Broken Ships as unmatched, and the adjective they used to describe the fleet of the Ming people was to cover the boundless sea.

This made Governor Coppola very troubled, because in the past two years, the power of the Ming people in Luzon had grown stronger and stronger, and there was a faint threat to the rule of the Spaniards.

The resilience of these Ming people is really strong, you must know that only thirty years ago, the Spaniards and natives slaughtered more than 30,000 Ming people, and slaughtered the Ming forces that had swelled and grown in Luzon at that time.

But in just more than 30 years, these Ming people traveled thousands of miles from the Ming Dynasty, and they settled in Manila to do business, more and more of them, and saw that the scale was tens of thousands.

Although they were few in number, they were united and stuck to their customs, and even the Catholics had far more contact with them than with the Spaniards, including the priests who taught them.

They have money, food, and their own nursing homes, and they may not have shown much ambition yet, but according to the understanding of Europeans, it is because of their strength or lack of strength.

If there is no ambition at all, why are there constantly Ming pirates invading the Philippines, and the largest group of thousands of people attacking Manila is to seize it and establish their country.

Therefore, the vigilance against the Ming people was deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Spaniards, and the Spanish aristocracy led by Coquilla was deeply wary of the Chinese, and as early as two years ago, they began to continuously suppress the Ming people in terms of taxation and employment, and even secretly encouraged the indigenous Filipinos to conflict with the Chinese.

In the past few months, large-scale armed fights have broken out between the aborigines and the Chinese, and the Spanish Manila authorities, under the hint of Coquela, have severely punished the Chinese, while the aboriginal murderers who injured the Chinese have been simply punished and fined and released, which has greatly increased the anger of the Chinese against the aborigines and Spaniards, and it can be said that it has reached a critical point.

This is exactly what Coquilla's gang wanted, they just forced the Ming people to riot, and then slaughtered the Ming people in the name of suppressing the rioters, so that the Ming people could be greatly reduced, so as to eliminate the power of the Ming people and achieve the purpose of eliminating the threat contained in the Ming people.

Now this situation can be said that the Spaniards are quite satisfied, just waiting for the last small firestring to detonate, of course, this is really easy to do, as long as Coqueira thinks, as long as the Spaniards are ready, they can light this firerope at any time, so that the conflict between the natives and the Ming people will explode, and then it will be the time to solve the scourge of the Ming people once and for all.

But at that time, there was a situation, that is, the fleet and infantry were going to attack Xiaoliuqiu, and then they had to attack the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, so as to force the Ming Dynasty to open up sea trade.

Of course, it would be better if they could beat the Ming hard and force them to allow them to lease the port with the Portuguese in Macao, of course, this is very difficult to do, it is said that the Ming are extremely tough on the issue of land, on the issue of dealing with their so-called razors, but how can you know if you don't try.

So the plot against the Filipino Ming people was delayed, waiting for the fleet and infantry to return from the Ming Dynasty to deal with it, anyway, now the Ming people in Luzon are the meat on the board, and they can eat as much as they want, all according to the wishes of the Spaniards.

However, Kequilla and the others never expected to wait for such news, which was simply unacceptable, and Coquilla thought that the more than 300 sailors on the two warships were already crazy in order to shirk their responsibilities, so the warships were so lost, which was impossible.

But no matter how much coercion and temptation were forced, these sailors could not change their words, they were simply speaking in unison, and the caliber was surprisingly consistent, this is weird, either these people were robbed of their souls by the devil, or it was true at this time, that is to say, the Ming people were strong in battle, and the coalition army was not an opponent at all.

But this is too unscientific, isn't it, if the Ming infantry army can still have some combat power by relying on the strength of the people, this Spaniard admits it, but the Ming fleet is so fierce, how is it possible.

But this is the reality, this defeat also hollowed out the foundation of the Philippine garrison, and now the Manila garrison has been reduced by two-thirds, so it can be said that there is no crusade against the strength at all, so the suppression and conspiracy of the Ming people can only be suspended.

Two months later, the Dutch envoy from Jakarta boarded the dock in Manila.

It is said that the two families in Europe are the opposite sides of the Thirty Years' War, and they have been fighting in Europe for more than ten years, real mortal enemies, but for the sake of interests, under the persuasion of the English, they joined forces to attack the Ming Dynasty.

But the relationship between the two countries is still extremely antagonistic, and in recent months there have been constant clashes between the Philippines in the south and Jakarta in the north.

The Netherlands continued to harass the Spanish sailing ships returning to Europe passing through the Batavian seas, trying to keep the Philippines alive, after all, the location of the Philippines was too important, and it was much closer to the rich Daming than Jakarta.

But now, for the sake of the common enemy, Zhao Lie, the Dutch envoy has once again set foot on the land of Manila. (To be continued.) )
