However, such a big thing, without the emperor's permission, it is definitely impossible, Xu Yifan directly sent a fleet to escort the generals of the Western Ocean back to the mainland, and by the way, he sent his own piece back, that is, to ask to lead troops to the Western Ocean!

This time the war was fought too neatly, and the entire Western coalition army was almost wiped out by the Ming Empire, and there was no news at all, all of them were surrounded and annihilated near Dalawan Bay, Xu Yifan delayed for a while, and he was not afraid of leaking the news.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, the will of the imperial court arrived, and Zhu Jie agreed to Xu Yifan's plan and allowed Xu Yifan to lead two fleets plus the three towns of the Tianxiong Army to go out at the same time to expedition to the Western Ocean!

Not only Xu Yifan, but also Qin Mufeng set out together, Xu Yifan attacked the lair of the Western Ocean, and Qin Mufeng led the Third Fleet and the Ocean Exploration Fleet to carry the two Tianwei military towns on an expedition to the Americas, and launched an attack on the two continents in the west at the same time.

When the will was still on the way, Qin Mufeng had already set off from Songjiang Mansion, along the route set by Zhu Jie at the beginning, all the way to the east, all the way through Midway, the Hawaiian Islands, and rushed to the Americas!

With the leadership of Xiongwu Hou and Shi Lang, the army is familiar with the road, and after more than half a year, it rushed from the Ming Empire to the American continent!

"Lord Wang! Ahead is the Mexican port of Manzanillo, which is the largest port in the entire western part of Mexico, and also the largest military port, and there is a fleet of no small size, at least more than 30 warships, as well as a large number of batteries, garrisoned by more than 2,000 people, of course, this is the information we got before, I don't know what the situation is now......"

Xiongwu Marquis Wu Xing said in a low voice.

Qin Mufeng's eyes narrowed, and he said proudly: "Xiongwu Hou, what are you nervous about?" We are now coming with two fleets, the warships alone are close to two hundred, and there are two towns of Tianwei army in hand, not to mention a small port, even if all the armies of the whole of Mexico are gathered together, it is definitely not our opponent! Shi Lang, the order, the fleet is ready to attack, take Manzanillo first! ”

Shi Lang received the order, ordered someone to wave the signal flag, and conveyed the order to attack to the fleet, and the Third Fleet moved closer to Manzanillo!

In the port of Manzanillo, the Spanish fleet that stayed here soon discovered the traces of the Ming fleet, and when they saw the size of the fleet, almost all the officers and men fell into a panic!

Extra-large fleet! There are about 200 warships alone, the scale is too huge, my own fleet is not a dish in the eyes of others, even if the entire Spanish main fleet is here, it may not be an opponent of others, where did this fleet come from?

"Immediately send a message to the battery, there is an enemy situation, prepare for battle, prepare for battle!"

The commander of the fleet, Carlos, was so frightened that he roared wildly, and the herald desperately shook the signal flag in his hand, passing the signal to the battery on the shore, at this time, the whereabouts of the Ming fleet were also found on the battery in Manzanillo, and in broad daylight, the distance of nearly thirty miles could be seen on the watchtower, where could such a huge fleet not be found?

All the Spaniards are nervous, it's terrible, the Ming Empire, it is definitely the fleet of the Ming Empire, now it stands to reason that it is not the five Western countries to jointly attack the Ming Empire, they should be in a big war now, how can they still have the energy to launch such a huge expedition?

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Soon, the Ming fleet came to a distance less than five miles from the port of Manzanillo, and less than three miles from the Spanish fleet, and the Ming fleet launched a fierce attack, nearly a hundred warships lined up on the sea, and launched an attack on the Spanish fleet!

In the first wave of artillery bombardment alone, shells and rockets drowned the Spanish fleet, twenty or thirty warships, the largest tonnage was only eight or nine hundred tons, where was such a fleet the opponent of the Third Fleet?

The first wave of artillery bombardment caused the Spanish fleet to lose six or seven warships, and the Spanish fleet was so frightened that it flew out of the sky, this firepower was too fierce, and there was no power to parry at all!

"Shoot back, shoot back!"

Carlos still held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that the batteries behind could withstand the attack of the Ming army, and the Spanish fleet also began to fight back, however, the artillery fire of the twenty battleships was simply not enough to form an effective threat to the Ming army, and in just a few rounds of artillery battles, most of the battleships of the Spanish fleet were sunk and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining few battleships ran straight to the harbor behind the harbor to avoid the artillery fire of the Ming fleet!

The Ming fleet continued to advance and began to launch a fierce attack on the battery!

The number of artillery batteries in Manzanillo is not too much, and the last time it was able to repel Shi Lang's attack, it was already the limit, and now the strength of the Ming fleet is more than ten times stronger than the strength brought by Shi Lang last time, where can these batteries be supported?

In less than two hours of artillery battles, the batteries were destroyed by the fierce artillery fire of the Ming fleet, the Spanish army was defeated like a mountain, and fled to the distance without dying, the Ming fleet slowly leaned on the port of Manzanillo, and the Tianwei army began to land, and the soldiers occupied the port of Manzanillo without blood!

The news soon spread from Manzanillo to the whole of Mexico, and the Spaniards were shocked, a fleet of 200 warships, plus an army of more than 50,000 troops, this is almost the strength that Spain can organize with all its strength, the Spanish army in the whole of Mexico is only three or four thousand, and most of the remaining 20,000 people are local mercenaries, and the combat power is very limited, and the whole of Mexico has more than 20,000 troops, how can it be the opponent of the Tianwei Army?

Qin Mufeng sat in Manzanillo, commanding the Tianwei Army, the troops were divided into four routes, and crushed all the way to the major cities in the hinterland of Mexico, the Spanish army had no resistance, even if it arrived in Mexico City, the Spanish army only resisted for three days, and then lost Mexico City, the Mexican Governor Gonzalez directly raised the white flag and surrendered, and the whole of Mexico fell into the hands of the Tianwei Army!

In less than a month, the entire territory of Mexico fell into the hands of the Tianwei Army, which was too fast to give Spain any time to react!

Qin Mufeng has always been known for his fast wars, occupying Mexico, the speed of the march is still fast, continuing to advance towards the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, directly into the territory occupied by the English, continue to attack, the main strength of the English is far away in the old colony in the northeast, from the Gulf of Mexico, thousands of miles, where can there be time to rush?

Colonies have fallen, and the whole of North America has shaken!
