On the island of Holo, the capital of the Sultanate of Sulu, the Sultan of Suleiman has been waiting for the news of the victory of the Great Army! General Ahmet took seventy percent of the naval warships of the Sultanate of Sulu and half of the infantry, which made the defense of Holo Island somewhat empty! However, Suleiman Sultan was confident that General Ahmet would be able to bring him victory! Allah will bless them as devout believers!

As long as the army and navy of the Sultanate of Sulu can defeat the Xinhua Army this time, then the prestige of the Sultanate of Sulu in the South Seas region will rise again! At that time, the Suleiman Sultan would be able to take the opportunity to begin a new round of expansion, such as bringing the whole of Mindanao under the rule of the Sulu Sultanate, who had also coveted Zamboanga for a long time. In addition, the direction of Borneo is also the next expansion direction of the Sulu Sultanate!

For the army and navy of the Sulu Sultanate, Suleiman Sultan had great confidence! The Sultanate of Sulu has dominated the Sulu Sea for hundreds of years. A Chinese state that has just been established wants to provoke the Sultanate of Sulu, it is simply looking for death!

It's just that Sultan Suleiman obviously miscalculated this time! He originally thought that he would win nine times out of ten, but the final result was a fiasco. And this also directly led to the demise of the Sulu Sultanate! Suleiman Sultan also became the last monarch of the Sulu Sultanate!

"Is there any news coming back? General Ahmed: Did they win? Sultan Suleiman asked the guard. Today is March 30th, and Ahmad has been leading his army for six days. It stands to reason that it would only take two days to rush from Jolo Island to the Maguindanao Sultanate, and it would only take one or two days at most to wipe out the Chinese navy, and even if it was necessary to cover the infantry landing on Mindanao, Ahmet should have sent someone back to report the battle situation to him. But why haven't you heard from you at all yet?

"Your Majesty, we haven't received any news yet! Maybe General Ahmed is chasing those Chinese! You know, those Chinese are very cunning. However, under the guidance of Allah, the final victory will surely be ours! The guard replied. Obviously, almost all the Sulu people thought they had won the battle. Although they haven't received the news of the win yet, they can always find a reason to console themselves!

Sultan Suleiman also nodded, he had no doubt that the army and navy of the Sulu Sultanate would be able to defeat the Xinhua army. However, he has not received any news so far, which makes him feel a little uneasy in his heart. Suleiman Sultan always told himself that Allah the Great would bless them, and those Chinese must not be their opponents!

Holo, the capital of the Sultanate of Sulu, is the most prosperous city in the entire Sulu Sea. The Sultanate of Sulu traded with many countries in the South Seas. During the Ming Dynasty, the sultans of the Sulu Sultanate also visited the Ming emperor. It was only because of the Manchurian entry into the customs and the implementation of the policy of closing the country to the outside world that trade with China was cut off. As one of the most trade-developing countries in the South Seas, the Sultanate of Sulu was a powerful country and a far more powerful military than other indigenous countries. At a time when the Western forces had not yet invaded in a big way, the Sultanate of Sulu was undoubtedly one of the great powers in the South Seas!

At noon on March 30, a number of merchant ships sailed into the port of Holo. These merchant ships came from Luzon and from the Sultanate of Brunei. Merchants traded here, bought low and sold high, making good profits, and the Sultanate of Sulu also received a lot of taxes!

On the edge of the skyline, several masts appeared. The sailors of the Sultanate of Sulu in Porto Holo have long been accustomed to this. In their opinion, another big caravan is coming. The prosperity of Holo is supported by these caravans!

"There's a caravan coming, everyone get ready!" The Sulu people on the docks got busy. Once a merchant ship is docked, they can provide services such as unloading the merchant ship. There are quite a few people on the docks who make a living doing this kind of work!

It's just that soon these Sulu people were dumbfounded. Because it's not merchant ships, it's warships! Merchant ships are generally built to be larger in order to load more cargo, especially in the cabins below. In order to pursue speed, warships will be streamlined. The difference between a warship and a merchant ship is very clear to these Sulu people who have been begging for a living on the docks all year round!

"Battleship! Such a huge battleship. Could it be those Westerners' warships? The Sulu people on the docks were talking and even panicking. Although the Sulu Sultanate claimed hegemony around the Sulu Sea, it was because the foreigners did not have time to take care of them. The strength of foreigners is not something that the Sultanate of Sulu can provoke!

The navy of the Sultanate of Sulu docked in the military port also sounded the alarm, and one by one the warships went out to sea, ready to meet the incoming enemy! Of course, if the other party is not hostile, it is naturally better!

Others rushed to the palace to report to Sultan Suleiman! Everyone knows that now that the main force of the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu has gone to fight the Chinese, a huge navy that does not know whether it is friend or foe has appeared outside the port of Holo, which is enough to attract the attention of the whole country!

"It seems that the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu really doesn't have much left! Yuhua, keep up the good work and send all those guys to the bottom of the sea! "On the cruiser 'Xinhua', Long Yufei put down the telescope in his hand. There are only more than 30 warships sailing out of Holo Harbor, which is not a pressure at all for the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy!

"Your Majesty, the First Fleet will be able to deal with the enemy in half an hour!" Luo Sangu said confidently.

Soon, the 12 'Shark-class' cruisers of the First Fleet began to accelerate towards the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu. The ship's guns were already loaded with shells and ready for battle.

At this time, the fleet of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu also understood the identity of the incoming fleet! The dragon flags fluttering in the wind on those huge warships undoubtedly indicate their identity. In the entire Nanyang region, except for the newly rising Xinhua Kingdom, no one has a giant dragon as a banner!

"Ships ready for battle!" The naval commander of the Sultanate of Sulu gave orders loudly. It's just that his face is very ugly. The incoming fleet is the navy of the new country, so where is the main force of the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu led by General Ahmet? Almost everyone has a premonition that it is not good!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The warships of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy began to fire, and dense shells exploded on the sea, splashing columns of water!

"War! O Allah! Is anyone going to attack Holo? When the people in the port heard the explosion, they all exclaimed!

Some of the merchants who came to Holo Island to trade were even more shocked! If war breaks out, these merchants with huge sums of money will definitely lose a lot!

"Oh God! The war has broken out! Set sail and leave this damned enemy! A Spanish merchant from Luzon shouted!

The merchant ships docked in the port of Holo lifted anchor one after another and fled outside the harbor. Everyone knew that if the Sultanate of Sulu could not resist the enemy, they would suffer as well!

As for the departure of these merchant ships, the Xinhua side was powerless to stop them. On the one hand, their priority was to sink the warships of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu. On the other hand, many of these merchant ships fly the flags of other countries. For example, the flag of Spain, the titular ruler of the Luzon Islands. Xinhua does not have the strength to provoke these Western powers now!

It's just that Long Yufei doesn't want to provoke Western powers so early. However, many times the unexpected happens.

On a Spanish merchant ship leaving the port of Holo, a bearded Spanish merchant lowered his binoculars and thought for a moment. He was a merchant under Anthony Pedro, the governor of Luzon. During this time, Governor Anthony Pedro was furious. Gold destined for Spain was robbed in the South China Sea. It is very likely that it was the Qing navy disguised as pirates. For this reason, Governor Anthony Pedro sent people to the Qing State to protest to the rulers of the Qing State and demand that the Qing State return this batch of gold. It's just that there has been no news yet.

Governor Anthony Pedro was so quick to learn of the robbery of the gold because a Spanish naval officer had escaped the slaughter of the pirates and held out on the surface for two days before being taken to Manila by a passing merchant ship. After the officers reported to the governor, Governor Anthony Pedro was furious and ordered the Luzon fleet to go to sea in search of the enemy. It's just that nothing has been discovered so far!

As a merchant under the Governor, he naturally knew what was going on. The kind of warship with fast speed and strong firepower made him pay special attention. And now, the warships of the Xinhua Navy that appeared outside the port of Jolo seem to be very similar to the warships depicted by the surviving Spanish naval officers!

At this time, the navy of the Xinhua Kingdom was fighting with the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu, and neither Long Yufei nor Luo Sangu, who commanded that operation, realized that they had been exposed!

Sultan Suleiman, the Sultan of the Sultanate of Sulu, also arrived at the port, but his face was now pale. Those Xinhua warships that appeared outside the port of Holo gave him a great blow. In the past few days, he has been waiting for news from General Ahmed, but the news has not waited, but the warships of the Xinhua Kingdom have appeared, doesn't this mean that General Ahmet They have failed? This also means that the Sultanate of Sulu has lost more than half of its navy and half of its army. And with the remaining navy and army, will they be able to withstand the attacks of those Chinese? Suleiman's heart was already enveloped in fear!
