The Imperial fleet has enemies on this side of the South Seas.

That was the Spaniards after the destruction of the country, and the Dutch, who were now allied with the vassal states of the Church.

The power of these two countries has extended to Southeast Asia a few years ago.

It's just that because the voyage is too long, whether it is the Spaniards or the Dutch, their maritime power in Southeast Asia is not very strong.

It is precisely because of such a factor that they were pressed and bullied by Zheng Zhilong, and they had no power to fight back at all.

Although the empire is not afraid, it is always a little troublesome when encountered, isn't it?

In addition, the Spaniards and the Dutch, who have been operating here for more than ten years, also have the support of the local indigenous tribes.

Therefore, Jay Chou ordered that it was absolutely correct to sink the opposing ship when he saw it.

You don't have to say anything to each other at all, and you don't have to do that set of fake things.

I am your enemy, and I will get you when I see you.

It's better than anything else.

Besides, if the power of Spain and the Dutch can be expelled from Southeast Asia, it will also be a good thing for the imperial sailors on the Kyushu side.

Although Zheng Zhilong will take advantage of the situation and completely control Southeast Asia.

But Zheng Zhilong is of Chinese descent after all, and his control of Southeast Asia is always better than the control of the maritime trade routes here in Southeast Asia, which are controlled by Europeans.

Jay Chou's idea is very good, but he is a little ignorant.

That is, at this time, his Royal Highness had already run to the opposite side of Zheng Zhilong.

In other words, His Royal Highness and Zheng Zhilong are really hostile relations.

Between His Royal Highness and Zheng Zhilong, only one can survive in the end.

What's more, there is Li Xiang in the middle, and he will not let Zheng Zhilong live.

In addition, Li Xiang took refuge in Zhao Hongyu. Then it is equivalent to saying that he and Zheng Zhilong tore their faces.

Between Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, there is absolutely no possibility of peace talks.

And the Song Empire, which received Li Xiang's people, was also destined to become a thorn in Zheng Zhilong's side.

At the same time, Wang Renzeng, one of the twelve leaders of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, was killed again. At the same time, Wang Ren was sent to Zheng Zhilong by a large dismantle, how could Zheng Zhilong swallow this breath.

The name Song Empire has been hated by Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, even if he leaves the waters on this side of the South Seas, Jay Chou's army will definitely not be so calm.

From Nanyang to Kyushu, the middle of the voyage was destined to pass through the sea area controlled by Zheng Zhilong. When the time comes, the ghost knows if Zheng Zhilong will be looking for trouble.

For all this, Jay Chou is still unclear.

"Very good, Your Excellency, Commander! Your orders, I will tell the captain. ”

The soldier, who had been sent by the captain of the flagship, straightened his body and gave a military salute.

Jay Chou raised his hand to stop the soldier who turned around to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I'm telling you, this order is not just for your superiors, you must give me this order to other warships."

The soldier nodded. After saying that he remembered it, Jay Chou let him go.

What was Manila in the 17th century, and Luzon, where there were many Chinese, like?

Historically, the Chinese in the Nanyang area. From the 17th century onwards it was oppressed by Europeans and natives.

Hopefully, we can change all of this, so that the Chinese people don't have to suffer such things again.

Jay Chou is not very clear about the detailed development of history, but he still knows some about some of the events.

Especially everything that the Chinese ethnic group living in Nanyang has experienced, Jay Chou knows very well -

Dividing Line –

Manila in winter. It's still very hot.

This is completely different from the Ming Dynasty in the north.

Manila, the capital city of the Philippine archipelago controlled by the Spaniards. The population is around 130,000. Among them, there are more than 6,000 Spaniards living in this city, and as many as 50,000 people of Chinese descent, and the rest are local natives.

In Southeast Asia at this time, Manila, with a population of 130,000, can be regarded as a big city.

However, in modern times, this city is just a fishing village in Tubulachi.

Even, to say that he is a fishing village is to brag.

But this is the 17th century, not a modern town.

In the port of Manila, several Spanish galleons are docked. At the same time, there are several Ming-style flat-bottomed boats, as well as a local single fishing boat in Manila.

On the port wharf, there are quite a few busy crowds.

Most of them are dressed in Ming-style clothing, and all of them are men.

The men were constantly unloading their cargo from the Ming-style boats, in stark contrast to the natives who looked sore in the sun.

There are two main ethnic groups working here at the dock, one is of Chinese descent and the other is the local aborigines.

However, when the Spaniards and other merchants came to Manila, they would look for the Chinese to work for them, and they would never find the local natives.

The reason is very simple, the Chinese people who work on the docks are hard-working, and they are very serious about their work.

On the contrary, the local natives are very procrastinating and lazy. And the goods are not well taken care of, there will always be a lot of wear and tear on the goods, and their hands and feet are not very clean.

What would have taken half a day to complete, the natives would have taken three or even four days to complete.

The Chinese are different, they are very efficient.

So, here in Manila, it is much easier for Chinese people to find food than for the local aborigines.

This made the local natives very unhappy.

But what if you're not happy?

If the merchants don't want to hire you, can you put a knife on the merchant's neck and let the merchant hire you?

This is clearly unrealistic.

And these natives, if they want to go to trouble the Chinese, they don't have the courage to do so.

Here in Manila, there are tens of thousands of Chinese descendants, and they are very grouped.

If you mess with one of them, then it's like messing with a whole bunch of people.

Especially these Chinese people who make money on the dock, they have organizational support behind them.

So. These local natives did not dare to provoke the Chinese at all.

They can only watch the hard-working Chinese descent look at them, so that they can't find food and have no way at all.

In fact, who can blame this?

Who made yourself so lazy!

There are no large buildings near the pier in Manila. Some are just rows of small wooden houses, which are very simple, at most they are just shade and rain.

However, such a house is also good in South Asia.

After all, the climate here is hot, and this kind of simple house is not so hot and difficult to live in.

Of course. Not far away, there are also three stone-built European-style buildings, but that's the Spanish Governor's Palace in Manila.

These three stone fortress-like buildings are some of the most luxurious in Manila.

The place where the Chinese people live is in the north of Manila, some distance from the docks.

In the humble houses here in the wharf, there are some small businesses and shops, which are basically of Chinese descent.

Some local indigenous women, holding small rattan baskets on their heads, are constantly walking back and forth around the pier. Sell home-picked fruits and bananas.

Indigenous men in Manila basically rely on their wives to make a living.

If you count on them, the whole family will probably starve to death.

The wharf runs through the north-south avenue, and a group of people come on horseback.

It was the Governor of Manila, Vlaar, who came to the dock with his own guards.

This guy from a ruined aristocratic family in Spain. On the Manila side, he is a real emperor.

As Vlaar and his guards ran down the road to the docks, the natives on both sides of the road shrank in fear and retreated to the side.

Unlike these natives, the Chinese also retreated to the side of the road. But their faces did not want to show the panic of the natives, but looked at the governor of Manila with infinite contempt.

"Humph! The eyes of these Orientals are really annoying. Is it in their eyes that the Governor is a beggar? ”

Of course, Vlaar saw the eyes of those Chinese Americans, so he felt very uncomfortable.

In this era, Europeans are no different from the difference between dicks and rich and handsome for Chinese people.

Even if an ordinary person in the East is standing opposite a European lord and governor, the Oriental will look at each other with the same eyes as a dick.

This sense of superiority is normal for Orientals in this era.

The mentality of the Heavenly Empire has been carved into the bones of the Orientals.

Of course, according to the normal historical development, the Chinese who have been enslaved for some reason will never have this sense of superiority again.

Even, in modern times, there is no restoration.

I have to say, this is really disappointing.

Vlaar came to the pier mainly to welcome what he thought was an important guest.

This guest is the greatest sea lord in the East, one of the twelve chieftains under the command of Zheng Zhilong, and he is an absolute direct cronie.

Don't look at him as the governor of Manila, but in front of Zheng Zhilong and his men, he Vlar is nothing at all.

Therefore, he did not dare to snub this guest who came to Manila.

In the port, the Ming-style building ship lowered its deck, and more than a dozen men dressed up walked down.

A man at the head, with a dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks so heroic. However, his height is not good, and he is only about 1.6 meters by eye.

However, no one who knew him dared to underestimate him, because he was one of the twelve leaders under Zheng Zhilong's command. (To be continued......)
