"Well, it is worthy of being the most powerful dynasty in the East, even if it is dying by the scourge of Jiajing, once it starts a fire, it will be a thunderous momentum!"

Lying comfortably on a recliner covered with soft fur, Li Rusong couldn't help but sigh while looking at the information in his hand.

Although the Ming Dynasty usually procrastinates, the ink waits for him to make a decision, and the daylily is cold. But this time, because of the unauthorized overstepping of the power of the Franco, and the magnates and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River out of their own interests, they spared no effort to expose the "accumulated crimes" of the Franco, and the entire system of the Ming Dynasty was unexpectedly united and rapid.

In less than half a month, Zhang Songtao, the envoy of the sea route who received the holy decree, quickly led 5,000 sailors, and the Qi family army led by 3,000 Qi Jiguang assembled along the coast of Fujian.

At the same time, countless Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans, either pretending to be fishermen, or in groups of three or five people rowed small boats to sneak into the trench Jingao, and began a frenzied attack on the local Portuguese.

At this time, the Portuguese had built a large number of forts, increased their strength to 900 men, used new guns and furlong cannons, and had fifteen warships. Although it was more than enough to deal with small groups of pirates and Ming troops, in the face of the angry Ming Dynasty's retaliation, their proud fortresses and firearms were tantamount to mantis arms blocking cars.

In just three days, Francis, the Portuguese commander stationed in Jingao, was wounded by the master of the Jinyi Guard, and several officers and soldiers were killed. At the same time, the Portuguese military deployment and fort drawings in Trench Jingao were already on Zhang Songtao's table.

"Hehe, the Portuguese devil will definitely not live. It's up to us next, how is my uncle preparing? Stuffing the information into his arms, Li Rusong looked at Mao Haifeng on the side with a smile and asked.

At this time, the main force of the Wufeng fleet of 2,000 elite soldiers had been assembled in Hirado, with a total of 30 warships, 500 artillery pieces, and a large number of shells and weapons funded by the Jin merchants. Li Rusong decided to take this opportunity to start a war against the Spaniards entrenched in the coastal area of the Philippines, in an effort to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.

"Hehe, Rusong, you can do it! I'm just a big soldier, you can just beat me and command how you want! With a hearty smile, Mao Haifeng put the ghost head knife in his hand on the table and said with a big grin.

"Brother! At this time, Chen Cheng walked in and handed a letter to Li Rusong with a happy face.

"Oh?! That Lin Feng softened? Hehe, it's really not the right time, I still plan to kill him and integrate the pirates under his command? Accepting the letter handed over by Chen Cheng with a smile, Li Rusong said with a little regret.

Since Li Rusong planned to start a war, he must completely destroy all the strength of the Spaniards in the Philippines, and minimize his losses.

At the behest of Li Rusong, Chen Cheng sent Falcon elite soldiers to the Philippines to contact the local Ming people and Ming pirates operating in the area. At the same time, the Wufeng fleet under Mao Haifeng also sent a large number of spies to dismiss the Francos in the name of doing business, waiting for an opportunity to find out information.

This Lin Feng was originally an unknown pirate crew, but after Wang Zhi's death, he became the leader of a group of pirates by chance, and grew up rapidly. It gradually became the hegemon of the coastal area of the Philippines, with dozens of large and small sea ships and 800 pirates under his command.

Lin Feng thought that the Wufeng fleet had completely disappeared and that he would become the new king of the Southeast Sea, until he received a letter from Mao Haifeng and the news that the Spanish fleet had been wiped out in Hirado.

Received the news that the Spanish fleet had been completely wiped out by the Wufeng fleet, and only Gonzalez had his ears cut off and fled back to the Philippines to report the news. Lin Feng, who was still scolding the envoy of the Wufeng fleet, and even made intimidating words, suddenly frightened the latter into a cold sweat.

"I didn't expect the Wufeng fleet to have such strength, my ambition to become the king of the Southeast Sea is just a dream!" Thinking silently in his heart, Lin Feng immediately apologized to the envoy, and set up a banquet to entertain him, expressing his willingness to lead the fleet under his command to be sent by the Wufeng fleet.

In fact, Lin Feng already knew about the Spaniards' every move in the Philippines, but because of the firearms trade between the two sides and the strength of the other party, Lin Feng never dared to make a move.

But with the powerful Wufeng fleet as the backing, Lin Feng's courage suddenly rose, and he sent a large number of pirates to drive small boats to frantically attack the Spanish ships off the coast of the Philippines, and ran away with one shot.

This tactic was extremely powerful, and the Spaniards had an army of 1,200 men along the coast of the Philippines and a small stone fortress. But at sea, they were no match for the locust-like Lin Feng pirates, and they suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.

"Hehe, this kid is doing a good job, give him a chance: join the Wufeng fleet, and open up territory for me with peace of mind, otherwise he will not be spared!" After listening to Chen Cheng's report to Lin Feng with a smile, Li Rusong hesitated for a moment and said.

"Yes! Brother, about the people of the Philippines, I have also been prepared, the local Lin family and the Zhang family, the two big clans, have made it clear that they are willing to stand on our side, and at the same time they can gather 500 troops to contribute to us" After meticulously holding his fists and receiving the order, Chen Cheng said.

"Oh! It seems that these guys are not stupid, and they can be used as the basic force for us to rule the Philippines, but we should be careful to use them. What about the local natives? With an approving smile, Li Rusong asked the question he was most concerned about.

The Philippines was formerly known as the Sultanate of Sulu: In the 13th century, the Minangkabau people from Sumatra migrated to Sulu and established the Sulu Sultanate in 1390.

In 1450, the Arabs established a strong Islamic regime based in the Philippines, which extended to Basilan, Palawan, the southern coast of Zamboanga, Borneo, Mindanao, and other places.

At this time, although the Islamic regime was already at sunset, it was still the de facto ruler of the Philippines recognized by the Ming Dynasty, so Li Rusong had to take into account his attitude towards himself and the Spaniards, so as not to cause trouble.

"It's easy to do there, but at this time, the Islamic regime is in turmoil, and there are no more riots among the people, and there is no time to estimate the Philippines. As for the local natives, there are three tribes that have been bought by the Spaniards, and they have already sent a thousand men to the Spanish fortress to prepare to assist the Spaniards in resisting our attack" After staying by Li Rusong's side for a long time, Chen Cheng also unconsciously began to distinguish between the Spaniards and the Portuguese, instead of calling them the Franji people collectively like others.

"Hehe, these indigenous idiots, how dare they follow the Spanish devils to make trouble and make trouble for my grandfather? Keep a good record of the three tribes, as well as the indigenous tribes that are inclined to the Spaniards. Once the Spaniards are defeated! Speaking of this, Li Rusong stood up from the chair and swept away the priority laziness just now, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath:

"No mercy! Kill him! Let the barbarians in Southeast Asia understand one thing: the strength of our Han people, they can't afford to provoke! ”
