After going to sea, the Mediterranean fleet did not go directly to the Mediterranean, not only did Egypt not have that canal in these years, so it had to go around a big circle, and Ding Yi also planned to find a foothold in the South China Sea, because the prince of the Arakan Kingdom, the war of the old port Xuanwei Division was not smooth, and if he didn't carry Ding Yi's battle flag, he would have fought wildly. As an army of the same cold weapons, the Brahgara is not very moving Jajapya. Although the current Manjapahit is not as powerful as the reign of King Haya Uruk in the Hongwu and Yongle years, which controlled the region until the modern situation of southern Thailand, the Philippines, and East Timor, it is still a long time before it falls.

So Ding Yi's gaze stayed on the Luzon Islands on the map, which is opposite the island of Taiwan, and he pointed to Luzon and said to He Tiedan: "Here." Then he pointed to the island of Taiwan and said to him, "There is also this place, which is the residence of the Nanhai Metropolitan Division, the Governor of the Four Seas...... Well, don't worry, the imperial court approved the Nanhai Metropolitan Division, so I will use this name first, and then I will change it to a garrison area......"

But although his literacy grades are very poor, He Tiedan, who is extremely talented in language and navigation, has long learned to read nautical charts, and when he heard Ding Yi say this, he shouted strangely on the side: "Sir! Ah Dan is raised with his eldest brother to be wild! Ganda's place, sir, the South China Sea Fleet you gave Ah Dan has a total of twelve ships, only two destroyers have guns, and the cannon is still black fire * medicine, not the Guangdong and Guangxi raised by the eldest brother, Ah Dan is cut into eighteen Lu, and each Lu gives birth to an An Egg, all of which are not in trouble! ”

"What are you panicking about?" Ding Yi was not angry, if He Tiedan patted his chest. said that he would definitely be able to do a good job, and then Ding had a headache, and now He Tiedan looked at the chart. Knowing that the territory of Luzon and Taiwan is too large, and he has no one at hand and cannot control it at all, this is a good thing, which shows that he has self-knowledge.

However, Ding Yi was not pointing on a whim, he turned around and sat down on the chair in the captain's room, and stretched out his hand to signal He Tiedan to sit down as well. Then he said to him: "If the sea breeze does not change, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the ships carrying the troops in the north will ......" Ding Yi stretched out his hand on the chart. "You'll meet us at this port. The South China Sea Metropolitan Division has three marine brigades, each with six battalions, plus about 2,000 brigades, that is. The day after tomorrow at this time. You have 6,000 subordinates, almost all of whom are in command of the Ming Dynasty, aren't you happy? ”

He Tiedan looked like he was about to cry: "Sir, Ah Dan doesn't read much, you don't lie to me!" The soldiers who fell from the north, even if they were regimental battalions, what use did they have? It's not the soldiers of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty...... Sir, you can afford to look up to Ah Dan's words. I'll go to the First Division of the Ming Dynasty or the Marine Corps of the West Sea Fleet as a company commander, okay? Platoon commanders have to go! "He stayed with the marines of the West Sea Fleet for a long time. The horizon is also raised, and I feel that the Marine Corps or the first division of the Ming Dynasty are called soldiers.

"Nope." Ding Yi didn't smile and talk to him anymore, and straightened his face directly, "The South China Sea Fleet is responsible for the tranquility of the entire South China Sea, there are pirates, smuggling ships, and all kinds of maritime problems, even like when Zheng He went to the West, there were wars between small countries, and they had to be transferred, and even mediated by force!" Because I think you have this talent, that's why you want to take the lead. Ah Yang also thought about it for a long time before recommending you, what is your bargaining? Are you worthy of the trust you have been given? ”

"Yes, sir." Looking at Ding Yi's face, He Tiedan didn't dare to speak Cantonese anymore, and responded honestly.

Ding Yi's face was a little better, but he said to him: "You can mention difficulties if you have them, but don't go too far." ”

"I'm not afraid of naval battles! But this is ...... to govern such a large territory," He Tiedan said with a bitter face, thought about it and said, "And six thousand people, how can I manage it?" Sir, Ah Dan will do it with all his might, but if you really don't dare to say it, you must be able to do it! Seeing Ding Yi looking at him coldly, He Tiedan knew that it was impossible for him to dodge if he wanted to, so he thought about it, and said seriously, "At least give me two companies of Marine Corps soldiers, or soldiers from one company of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, 6,000 people will fall from the north, and if they make trouble together, I will have to drive a boat and walk......

Ding nodded and said, "Yes, now on the two destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet, B01 and B02, the two companies of marines will be included in the formation of your fleet." I will give an order to Hu Shan, the commander of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty, to select two more companies with the best training results from the supplementary regiment in China and transport them to you. "Ding Yi didn't really want He Tiedan to have two hands alone, and he really straightened out the South China Sea Division.

"Sir, can you transfer that Ding Junyue over? I heard that this is a good ghost, she is a big man, I just care about naval battles, okay? Ah Tiedan listened, and gradually gained a little confidence, but asked Ding Yi.

"You're thinking too much, no."

He Tiedan frowned and said, "Why don't you leave Li Yuncong with me?" Sir, I fell in love with him......"

"Nope."

"Then I want Ma Wensheng." He Tiedan looked hopeless, and said angrily, "He knows a lot of words, I'm afraid he has even been a showman......

"No nonsense." Ding Yi shouted to stop He Tiedan.

The latter didn't do it, and said directly: "Sir, I haven't been an official!" I have to fight a naval battle, and I don't have to worry about being an official! Also, Luzon is not in the Great Ming Control now, and there is a name of the South China Sea Metropolitan Division that has a ghost use......"

"I mean, Ma Wensheng is a jinshi, Xiucai has taken the exam, and then he will be qualified to take the jinshi, every three years, the entire Ming Dynasty is only about 100 jinshi, you insist on saying that Ma Wensheng is afraid that he has also been in Xiucai, isn't this nonsense? At first, I thought you were joking, but then I heard you say it so many times that I couldn't listen to it anymore. ”

He Tiedan laughed embarrassedly: "Ah Dan reads less, reads less...... Sir, is it okay to transfer Marven over? ”

"Yes." Ding nodded, pointed to Luzon and said to He Tiedan, "At the beginning, don't try to control all of them, first control the port, train the soldiers well, tell you the truth, only a batch of guns will come to equip you in June, and it can only be a one-year modification of Jingtai." "The one-year modification of Jingtai refers to the reinvention of the rifle according to the Manerryde rifle. Manerryde's bolt is a cartridge shell-type container, although it is still a primer, a fire, a bullet, and a warhead package, but after all, it is also a rear-loading gun, in fact, the Rongcheng Workshop transported the inventory of the front-loading guns down to Guangzhou for refitting, because the Wuzhou Workshop was basically drained of resources by the expeditionary fleet - think about a battleship with hundreds of guns, even if it is wrought iron pipes, this iron consumption is extremely terrible.

"However, the South China Sea Fleet should be able to have both battleships equipped with artillery by the end of July." Ding Yiyi beat a stick to the rhythm of a sweet jujube, and said this to He Tiedan.

There is nothing wrong with He Tiedan, even if Jingtai is transformed in a year, in his cognition, it is 10,000 times stronger than the fire gun of the guard, if you deal with the natives, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about with six thousand guns in hand. Moreover, two battleships with four gun decks can be equipped with two ships, and as long as one cannon is fired, it is enough to deter these natives who are still in the age of cold weapons.

Ding Yi called the guards in and asked him to take He Tiedan down: "Then, lead your destroyers B01 and B02, as well as two companies of marines, to negotiate with the Luzonists." ”

The so-called negotiation is that He Tiedan held a document issued by the Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas, and took two companies of marines to announce to the king of Sulu Dong: "Huangyan Island is an inherent territory of China since ancient times, and it is sacred and inviolable!" Luzon is also a vassal of China, Yongle years, the Ming Dynasty sent the governor of Luzon Xu Chai Lao to pacify the people here...... "This is not nonsense, Xu Chai Lao, the governor of Luzon, is indeed a thing, and has been in power for more than 20 years."

Then he could not go any further, for the king of Sulu Dong rushed down from his humble throne and cried out in Cantonese, "I hope that the king will be long!" ”

This has to talk about historical events again, during Zheng He's trip to the West, Batu Ge of Sulu? The three kings of Horn Tala, Mahara, Ge Ra Ma Ding, and Horn Du Ge Barab each led more than 300 dependents and attendants across the ocean to pay tribute to China. On the way back through Texas, Batu Ge? He died of illness and was buried in Texas, where his eldest son returned to China to succeed to the throne, while the princess and her two other sons remained in Texas to guard the tomb and settle down.

This is the descendant of the prince who came back to succeed the throne, and everyone has long wanted to Sinicize Mu, as for the territory? Does the ghost bother? At this time, although Luzon is not exporting Filipino maids to seek foreign exchange, it is basically by salvaging shallow sea pearls for a living, fishing for a living, look at the princess and the two princes who went to China and did not want to come back, no matter how to keep filial piety, they can also go to sea and return to China after three years, they are not willing to go back, but also took the name of Huaxia, all the way to modern times, and directly developed the originally uninhabited mausoleum into a Beiying village.

So He Tiedan didn't know what to do, he originally thought that the other party would not do it, and then start a war, first the marines used their rifles to show their majesty, and then sent signal flares, and the naval guns sent out mighty clouds, who knew that before he finished speaking, the king of Sulu Dong hugged his thigh and cried bitterly, and called someone to call the other two kings to come over......

Fortunately, He Tiedan has been in the literacy class for so long, and after thinking about it, he still squeezed out this sentence: "You wait for the map and roster to be ready, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas will send officials to inspect it in the near future." Then he ran back to the destroyer with two companies of Marines.

"How's that good, sir? They are willing to be Sinicized! He Tiedan said to Ding Yi with a sad face, "Sir, do you want Ah Dan to be the leader of the beggar gang?" "In these years, Huaxia is rich, regardless of how many people at the bottom of China have a difficult livelihood, compared to Luzon, they are much better than them. [It's not that the author always thinks about our ancestors, just like about half of the states in the United States, their unemployed can receive up to 39 weeks of relief and $170 a week, which is higher than the income of grassroots white-collar workers in China's third-tier cities, and Daming was a developed country at that time. 】

However, what made He Tiedan have a headache, Ding Yi smiled and gave an order very calmly. (To be continued......)
