Chapter 1459: The Joyful Sulu

After dealing with the English caravan, the Ming fleet set sail again, arriving at Palawan the next day and arriving at the capital of the Kingdom of Sulu.

Hearing that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty had arrived, King Anduru of Sulu personally led his courtiers to the docks to meet the envoys of the Celestial Empire.

"Your Excellency Angel, because of the long distance, our Sulu Kingdom has cut off contact with the Central Plains for more than a hundred years, and our subjects have been eager to see the envoys of the Celestial Empire again, the former of your country's angel Shi Inspector has briefly passed by the Sulu Kingdom, hovering here for a few days, but it is a pity that Shi Inspector has a heavy responsibility, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, only eight days later, the minister has been thinking about following the ancestors, going to the Central Plains for Hajj, but unfortunately this Luzon Islands, now it is too unsafe, The Spaniards occupy most of the Luzon Islands, and our Kingdom of Sulu is weak, and we really have no ability to compete with it, for fear that our pilgrimage to the Central Plains will be a sudden attack by the Spaniards on our kingdom, so it has been postponed until today, and I ask the two angels to understand......"

Anduru was very polite and kept smiling faces.

Qin Mufeng's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "King Anduru, have you seen the fleet behind this envoy?" Do you know why Ben Envoy came to the Kingdom of Sulu this time? ”

Anduru laughed and said, "Clear! If Inspector Shi hadn't been here, Xiao Wang would have been frightened by the huge fleet, where would he dare to see you? When Inspector Shi was there, he once said that sooner or later, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty would go on an expedition to the South Seas and drive away the Spaniards who were bullying our Sulu Kingdom! Xiao Wang just didn't expect that the army of the Celestial Empire would come so quickly! ”

Qin Mufeng scolded secretly in his heart, wiped it, this Shi Kefa, since he has already made a calculation and left a back hand, why did he not know Lao Tzu before leaving? Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong is here, otherwise, this time it would be shrimp!

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "King Andulu, since you also know that we are here to encircle and suppress the Spaniards, then the envoy will not say much nonsense, the people of your country are familiar with the Luzon Islands, and the envoy wants to ask your country to help us, to be our guide, to assist us in attacking Luzon, after the matter is completed, your benefits are absolutely indispensable!" ”

Andrew patted his chest and replied: "Your Excellency Angel, rest assured, this Xiao Wang understands that since the founding of the Sulu Kingdom, there has been a story of the Ming Empire, the Three Treasures eunuch of the year has repeatedly gone to the Western Ocean, and he has not committed any offence against the countries along the road, and has also given us a large number ......of gifts.

Qin Mufeng said in a deep voice: "King Andulu, this envoy said that one is one, two is two, one word is nine, ugly first to the front, what we can promise your country is that once the Spaniards are driven out, south and west of Cebu Island, all the way to Palawan, this vast island, all returned to your country, but Luzon Island with Manila as the center, we have to return to the Ming Dynasty, this time the Spaniards offended the great tomorrow, they must pay enough price to be able to wash away their sins, this governor will kill them to the ground!" ”

Anduru's face changed slightly, and then his face changed, after all, in the heyday of the original Sulu Kingdom, the entire Luzon Islands plus part of Malaya were the territory of the Sulu Kingdom, and now the angel in front of him actually said that Luzon, the largest island, was to be taken away by the Ming Dynasty, and Anduru was naturally a little unhappy, but, if it wasn't for the Ming Empire, I was afraid that in the end, Palawan and Mindanao would not be able to hold it, and all of them would have become fat in the mouths of the Spaniards. Those greedy Westerners don't spit out bones when they eat people, where are they like the people of the Ming Empire, polite and personable......

"King Andulu, this South Sea, this East Ocean, is the South Sea and East Ocean of our Eastern world, behind closed doors, we are a family, they Westerners run to the chassis of the South Seas to spread wild, skillfully plunder, enslave the natives, how can our Ming Empire tolerate them so presumptuous? This is just the condition that Inspector Qin said, but he promised you, our emperor of the Ming Empire has always been merciful and generous, and will never embarrass you, in the future, all the goods of your country can enter the Ming Empire for trade, and even our emperor His Majesty is extraordinarily gracious, and there may be any rewards, at least, no matter what, we will drive the Spaniards and the Dutch away first, and then say, Nanyang is so big, are you still afraid that the Kingdom of Sulu will not have a foothold? ”

Zheng Chenggong said.

Anduru hurriedly replied: "How dare you, how dare you, as long as we can drive the Spaniards and Dutch away, we will be happy even if we are in a corner of peace, at least no one will bully us again!" We, the Kingdom of Sulu, are willing to join you in driving out the Spaniards! ”

Qin Mufeng and Zheng Cai glanced at each other, Zheng Cai said: "King Anduru, our plan, the Ming fleet transports the Tianxiong army to land from Batangas, and then drives straight in, all the way to Manila, and take down the nest of the Spaniards in one fell swoop, in the South China Sea, we still have a fleet blocking the door of Manila, without further ado, it will change later, and I hope that His Majesty the King can immediately send someone to accompany us on the expedition!" ”

Anduru was shocked and asked urgently, "Leave now?" ”

Zheng Chenggong replied: "King Andulu, the sooner the better, and please immediately find someone who is familiar with the geography of Luzon to accompany us on the expedition, and then, replenish our fleet with fresh water and some food, and set out immediately!" This envoy will stay here to discuss Hajj and trade with His Majesty the King......"

Anduru did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare water sources and affairs, and at the same time ordered people to call more than 20 Sulu merchants to prepare to go on the expedition with the Ming fleet.

In just one day, the Ming fleet arrived at Batangas Bay.

As Zheng Chenggong said, now Davis has concentrated almost all his forces in Manila Bay, and this Batangas originally had an infantry battalion and a cavalry company, but now they are all withdrawn, leaving only a dozen people here to guard, a dozen people, where is there enough to see?

Zheng Cai almost did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the battleship to rush forward, and the bow gun fired two waves in succession, and the lighthouse in Batangas Harbor collapsed in the smoke of gunpowder, and there was almost no living mouth left!

On the battleship, the merchants of Sulu were dumbfounded, and their tongues spit out, so powerful, my mother, this artillery is much more powerful than the artillery of the Spaniards!
