"What the hell is going on?"

The people who heard the news had already been released, and Davis's heart was still unsteady, thinking about this matter left and right.

Can Seth tell himself? The bill of one million taels of silver is not fake, in order to deceive yourself, you have such a big capital? I can't do it, I definitely can't do it!

When Davis was thinking about it, the intelligence came back, it was not that Yizhou did not fight, but that the battle of Yizhou had been completed, three days ago, the Ming army successfully conquered the Red Embedded City, completely surrounded and annihilated the Dutch army, and Yizhou had changed hands!

Davis felt his head buzz! I'm a god, from asking for help to coming to Yizhou, it was only half a month in between, only less than half a month, the Ming army actually captured the two fortresses of Gelanza and Chichicheng, how strong is this Ming army!

Seth on the side was even more dumbfounded, originally thinking that he could use Davis's fleet to keep Yizhou, but now it's okay, he hasn't been able to rush back, Yizhou has already fallen, this, this is too fast, right? Anyway, the Dutch also have more than a dozen warships here, and at the same time more than a hundred and fifty guns!

"Mr. Seth, this time it's not that the governor is not doing his best, you also saw that the governor rushed from Luzon to Yizhou in eight days, but Yizhou still fell, alas......"

Davis let out a long sigh and replied: "The order is to go down, the fleet is ready to evacuate Yizhou, it is not interesting to stay here any longer, it is very dangerous, prepare to retreat!" ”

"Lord Governor, this—this is retreating?"

Seth was speechless for a while, he wanted to talk about the silver, but he said it softly, even if he did, Davis would not be stupid enough to take out the silver ticket again, and now he could only wait for news from the Governor.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Governor!"

Suddenly, the sentry above the mast exclaimed: "Battleship, battleship! A large number of warships have appeared in our west, and they are less than twenty miles away from us! ”

Davis's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran up to the watchtower and looked into the distance, and sure enough, twenty miles to the west, a large fleet appeared, rushing quickly in his direction!

"Quick, give the order, retreat immediately, retreat immediately to the south, retreat with all your might!"

Davis growled.

The Daming Fleet, at this time, it is definitely the Daming Fleet that can appear on the surface of the East China Sea, and it seems that it is definitely the main fleet! If you don't run, your fleet will be out of luck!

Davis's prediction was good, it was the second fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the first fleet is still in Fuzhou, but the second fleet is staying in Quanzhou, not far from the location of the Spanish fleet, Davis got the information of Yizhou, and Zheng Cai also got the information about the appearance of the Spanish fleet.

For Zheng Cai, how can he let go of such a great opportunity? Now on his own doorstep, the First Fleet is not far away from him, if he entangles the Spanish Fleet, the two fleets work together, and there is definitely a chance to eat the Spanish Fleet!

Zheng Cai got the news, made a decision, and led the Second Fleet to rush out, approaching the location of the Spanish fleet.

Fortunately, Davis is also battle-hardened, and he has not relaxed his vigilance at any time, seeing the Ming fleet rushing up, before he understands the truth and fiction, where does Davis dare to fight? I can only run away, without giving the Second Fleet a chance to come up and entangle!

One by one, the ships of the Spanish fleet raised their sails and quickly retreated southward.

On the flagship of the Second Fleet, Zheng Cai watched from afar, it was less than twenty miles away from the other party, he didn't expect that Spain was so timid, he didn't give himself a chance to fight at all, he turned around and ran, on the sea, the speed of the warships on both sides was almost the same, and the distance of twenty miles, if you want to catch up, how easy is it? What's more, the officers and men of the Second Fleet have just taken over the new warships, and their sailing experience is far from reaching the level of the Spanish fleet.

Zheng Cai sighed repeatedly, but he was still unwilling to give up, chase, catch up!

Zheng Cai led the Second Fleet to chase out more than 300 miles in one go, and the Spanish fleet had no intention of turning back at all, Davis was already frightened by the news he had just gotten, where did he dare to turn back?

You know, in just seven days, from the beginning of the battle to the capture of Chichicheng, the Ming army only took seven or eight days, this speed is too fast, how strong the Ming army must be, to be able to do it, whether it is Phillips or Van Tangkhu, they are not mediocre, after a long battle, they only reduced their holdings in seven or eight days before the whole army was wiped out, this battle can't be fought, hurry back to Luzon, you must not start a war easily!

Davis ran away, Zheng Cai was helpless, and he had to return in a huff, and when he came back, he happened to meet Zhu Jie who returned to Quanzhou!

"Why, didn't catch up with the Spanish fleet?"

Zhu Jie asked lightly.

Zheng Cai hung his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the Spanish fleet is too cunning, and it doesn't give the minister a chance to start a war at all, and he turns around and runs, and the minister chased out more than 300 miles in one go, but he couldn't catch up, so he had to retreat first......"

"That's right!"

Zhu Jie replied: "Poor Kou Mo chase, above the sea, there are many dangers, you know better than me, once the enemy sets up an ambush and catches us off guard, it will be a big loss, steady and steady, they are not our opponents!" Let's go, go back to Quanzhou first! ”

Returning to the yamen of the Quanzhou prefect, Zhu Jie asked Cha Shu: "Lao Cha, when will you be able to go on the expedition?" ”

Cha Shu thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we should prepare, we are almost ready, wait for the minister to mobilize the first fleet over, the only deficiency now is that our troop carriers, to go to the South Seas, than need to use large troop carriers, small troop carriers are not good, the sea is very stormy, but not a joke, once the ship capsizes, it will involve the lives of thousands of brothers, six days, six days later, the minister led two fleets, straight to Luzon, first the Spanish herd of cattle to be packed! ”

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Okay, I'll give you six days, be sure to prepare properly, it's not bad for these two days, anyway, the English fleet can't reach the hinterland of the South Seas for a while, just the Dutch and the Spaniards, and they can't help us!" This time, we will take the Luzon Islands and drive the Spaniards away! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The minister knows in his heart, and there are ministers and herdsmen, so you just have to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform! ”

Cha Zhu patted his chest fiercely, after all, the Spaniards are different from Dongying, the Dongying people are local, some are people, some are soldiers, Spain? Even the navy and the army, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people in total, and it is not easy to clean them up without any backup? As long as the Spanish fleet is defeated, Luzon is at your fingertips!
