Chapter 1457: Kill them all
"The Kingdom of Sulu?"
Cha Xuan looked at Zheng Chenggong and asked, "Didn't I remember that you said that the Kingdom of Sulu was destroyed?" Why did it pop up again? ”
Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice: "Yes, when the court told the emperor about the situation in Nanyang, we once said that the Kingdom of Sulu was destroyed by the Spaniards, but what we mean by the destruction of the country is that their capital is occupied and the temple is destroyed, which does not mean that the entire Kingdom of Sulu does not exist, on the contrary, the Kingdom of Sulu only withdrew from Luzon, and the main islands of the Luzon Islands, and now it still maintains Mindanao, Palawan and several surrounding islands, which is why the lower officials want to come forward to lobby them, If we persuade the kings of the Sulu Kingdom with certain interests, presumably they are willing to help, these years, the Sulu Kingdom has been bullied by the Spaniards, I once followed my father to the Sulu Kingdom when I was a child, at that time, the Sulu Kingdom was already miserable enough, and now more than ten years have passed, I am afraid that it is even worse. It is precisely because of their tragic circumstances that they are more likely to work with us to drive the Spaniards out of Luzon in one fell swoop! ”
Qin Mufeng frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can talk about the people of the Sulu Kingdom?" ”
"Of course!"
Zheng Chenggong replied: "The Kingdom of Sulu and the Ming Dynasty have always been friendly neighbors, two hundred years ago, even once the three kings went to the capital to make a pilgrimage, and finally the East King died in Texas halfway, and now there are descendants of the East King living in Texas, when Spain invaded the Kingdom of Sulu, it also asked the Ming Dynasty for help, but at that time, the Ming Dynasty was under the coercion of Manchuria, and there was the ancestral training of the sea ban, so we could only ignore it, this time we sent troops, presumably the Sulu Dynasty was eager for, and the new capital of the Sulu Dynasty was on Palawan, It is less than a thousand miles away from us now, and in two days, we can arrive at Palawan, one back and forth, three days, we will be able to meet with you, but this time, the emperor has no clear will, we have contacted the Sulu Dynasty privately, promising benefits, but I am afraid that the emperor will blame ......"
"Ming Yan, you are too timid!"
Qin Mufeng pouted and said: "Outside, the king's order is not affected, on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, everything is waiting for the emperor's will, and you can't even drink the special soup, this matter is so decided, the emperor blames, there are us tall people on top, what are you afraid of?" Even if you go, driving out the Spaniards is the first priority, the Kingdom of Sulu was originally our vassal country, and it is too late for them to be happy to drive out the foreign invaders! ”
Cha Xuan nodded and said: "Ming Yan, Mu Feng is right, you just have to go, where is the emperor, naturally I will talk to Mu Feng, of course, you can't let the family work in vain, as long as they are willing to help, after the matter is completed, the area south of Cebu Island, west of Java Island, and north of the island can be assigned to the Kingdom of Sulu as their territory, so that although they can't recover to their heyday, they will be a lot stronger, compared to those who will not be tempted, Mu Feng, this time leave the first town of Tan Guilin to me, Xia Wanchun and Zhao Xin led the second town and the third town to follow you and Yu Gong to escort Ming Yan to Palawan, and once the king of Sulu was convinced, then go straight from Palawan to Batangas and launch an attack on Batangas! ”
"What? Are you going to divide your troops? You kid forgot, the last time we divided our troops in Dongying, we were scolded by the emperor and Brother Yifan as pigs' heads! ”
When Qin Mufeng heard this, he said urgently.
Cha Shun replied: "What are you afraid of?" The last time we were scolded by dividing our troops was because we had strong troops, and we had some difficulty dealing with them; But now it's different, how many troops can the Spaniards have in Luzon? As long as we break through their sea defense line, the Spaniards' army will not be the opponent of the Tianxiong Army, you attack in the back and attract the attention of the Spaniards, I am in Manila Bay, ready to attack at any time, if the Dutch rush to help, there is a First Fleet, it is enough to block the Dutch in the South China Sea! ”
"Okay!"
Qin Mufeng reluctantly agreed, "However, if we land from Batangas, we won't need so many warships, Yu Gong, hand over your left and right wings of the naval division battalion to Lord Yang Geng, it is enough to have the Chinese army battalion with you!" ”
Zheng Cai hurriedly agreed.
Zheng Chenggong under the protection of the Tianxiong Army and the Second Fleet, broke away from the main force and went straight to Palawan, and now their position has passed the area of Huangyan * Island, which is only a thousand miles away from Palawan, and they are advancing at full speed, and two days are enough to rush to Palawan, whether it is Zheng Chenggong or Zheng Cai, they are very familiar with the terrain of the South Seas, and they are familiar with the road.
It's just that just after a day of marching to the front, the sentry on the watchtower suddenly shouted!
"Inspector Qin, several adults, due west, a fleet has appeared, less than twenty miles away from us, and it is rapidly approaching us!"
A few people were shocked and found an unknown fleet?
Zheng Cai strode to the top of the watchtower, looked into the distance with a telescope, and sure enough, a fleet was less than twenty miles away from his army, and it was still rapidly approaching his fleet!
"Huh?"
It looks like an English caravan......
Zheng Cai frowned and came down from the watchtower, came to Qin Mufeng, and said in a low voice: "Inspector Qin, the fleet in the west is the merchant fleet of England, you see ......"
Qin Mufeng also frowned, let go? Definitely not, I and others have found them, they have also found our traces, if we ignore them, they will definitely leak the news, no one knows if there are Dutch or Spaniards in it!
"Master, why don't we take them all prisoner and put them in prison?"
Zheng Chenggong asked.
Qin Mufeng asked rhetorically: "Ming Yan, are you sure to let all these ships stay?" ”
Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Cai, and Zheng Cai said in a deep voice: "Ming Yan, Master Inspector, there is no problem in encircling and annihilating them all, but if you want to capture them all, it is not easy to ......."
"Then kill them all!"
Qin Mufeng said fiercely: "You must not leak the slightest rumor!" ”
"But!"
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said: "Inspector Qin, Lord Xianzhi has already gone to India to negotiate peace with the English, we are afraid that we will stab Lou Zi by doing this, once the English people know, then Lord Xianzhi's efforts will be in vain!" ”
Qin Mufeng sneered: "How do you know, if you don't leave any of them, you will sink all the ships, and they don't have a single live mouth, how can you leak the news?" Moreover, isn't there still a calamity to the east? Blame the Dutch or the Spaniards! Kill them all, move fast, Yu Gong, it's up to you! ”
