Almost just as the victory of Laoag and the near-total annihilation of the Cebu Legion spread across the island, another explosive news spread from the Sulu region. Prince Laman, who disappeared on the day of the fall of the royal capital Manila, proclaimed himself throne in the city of Morotai in the Sulu region and established himself as Suleiman VI!

Disappeared for all these times, Prince Laman was clearly not idle. Hidden in the Sulu region, he used his royal status to win over a large number of local leaders. And taking advantage of their contradictions and conflicts with the Songjiang army, they successfully recruited a large number of soldiers. On the day of his accession to the throne, the prince announced the formation of a new army of men.

Sulu Legion!

The appearance of Suleiman VI undoubtedly made the situation very embarrassing for Davao House and the old emperor. But at present, this situation can no longer tolerate any internal strife on the part of the remnants of the Duchy of Luzon, otherwise it can only hasten its demise. In addition, Suleiman V had in fact abandoned the ruling power, drinking and having fun every day without paying attention to government affairs. The panicked Davao soldiers began to consider defecting to the former prince.

For a time, the new Suleiman VI was very powerful.

Even the Quezon Plains, which had been mastered by the Songjiang Army, and the Lawag and Cebu regions, which were about to take over the entire territory, have reappeared in repetition and turmoil.

When the news reached the royal capital of Manila, Lou Liuzhong was in a very bad mood.

The emergence of the Sulu Army and the new emperor undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the regime of the Duchy of Luzon, which was on the verge of extinction. If it's just like this, it's nothing, after all, even the old Fourth Army was wiped out by the Songjiang Army, and how strong can the newly formed Sulu Army be. What really worried him was the uncertain news that followed.

There is another force behind Prince Laman!

At first, Lou Liuzhong was not sure whether this vague information was true. But judging from the table of Prince Laman, this possibility is indeed true. After all, almost all of the wealth of the Duchy of Luzon was brought to Davao by Suleiman V, and almost all of the rest fell into the hands of the Songjiang army. When Prince Rahman fled, he should have asked for money and no money, and he wanted no people.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he has the power that he has secretly planted in the past on Sulu's side, but this power should not be much stronger. Even if they won the support of the local forces in Sulu, it was difficult to pull up the legion of people in a short period of time, and directly took out the corresponding weapons and armor.

Even the old emperor in Davao has not yet assembled a new legion, so how did Prince Rahman, who is single-handed, do it?

It's suspicious!

After thinking about the information for a morning, Lou Liuzhong gave an order, and the Songjiang Army's own intelligence personnel and the local surrender faction led by Agno took joint action. Since the Quezon Plain is very close to the Sulu region, and it is roughly two adjacent provinces, as the investigation deepened, the news from all sides was quickly gathered.

The first thing to arrive was the information of the Ninghai Division.

At the same time as Lou Liuzhong's people were investigating, this information was sent. It had been discovered a few days earlier by a patrol warship on Yanjian Island, and it had taken a little time to confirm, so it was a little less efficient, but it was reliable enough - a large number of sea ships had come from the west, landed in the Sulu region, unloaded a large amount of cargo, and even an unknown number of troops.

This news immediately aroused Lou Liuzhong's vigilance.

Soon, more news came back, and it was a piece of the whole story. As the puzzle is completed, the truth in front of Lou Liuchong is becoming clearer and clearer: the Andaman city-state has intervened!

Looking at the countries around Luzon, needless to say those small island states and principalities, the only ones who really have the ability to intervene are the Empire, the Omanis and the Andamanies. The others are too far away from here to reach the whip. This fleet of more than 100 seagoing ships unloaded a large amount of food, money, weapons and armor in the Sulu region, and even included an infantry force of 500 men.

Yes, only five hundred!

The Andamanian army was pitifully weak, and even fewer could be sent to the Sulu region. It was not so much that 500 people were there to help in the war, but more like an expression of support.

"The city-state of Andaman!"

This name made Lou Liuzhong fall into deep thought.

This city-state, located in the South Seas, with a very developed navy and maritime trade, did not have a strong sense of existence in the empire. Except for the maritime merchants who have direct business dealings with them, many people don't even know that there is such a country, and they don't know where they are, how big they are, and how powerful they are. Even Lou Liuzhong himself learned some about the situation of Andaman through a booklet issued by the top brass of the Songjiang Army, which is said to have been compiled by His Royal Highness the King of Thailand himself.

According to the above, the Andaman city-state should still be in internal strife and temporarily unable to expand externally, right?

Why did they suddenly intervene in the war between Luzon and Songjiang?

What Lou Liuzhong didn't know was that in the history of the game, the Andaman city-state would not complete its internal integration until a few years later and start to touch Luzon. But that doesn't mean they didn't have the ambition to occupy Northern Luzon before. Just because there is no Songjiang army in the game, the forces of the Andaman city-state can settle the internal contradictions first, and then slowly attack Luzon.

But the situation in the world has changed for a different time.

The Songjiang army was born, and in a short period of time, the two major armies of the principality were annihilated, and the abandoned royal capital that Suleiman V directly defeated was routed and fled. It seems that in just a few months, the Duchy of Luzon has shown signs of national demise. The city-state of Andaman that had been secretly keeping an eye on the movements of Luzon Island soon received the news.

At this moment, the Andamans could not sit still.

Having done business with Luzon, they knew very well how much wealth the Luzon people had. It was only because the other side was alone in the ocean, relatively closed to the outside world, and the Andamanese, who had a very weak army, had nothing to do with Luzon for a while, so they temporarily suppressed their ambitions. But now, if he doesn't intervene, the Duchy of Luzon will be completely finished, and then fall into the hands of the Songjiang army.

This is something that the Andaman people cannot tolerate.

But at that time, the Andaman people were still doing maritime trade business with the Empire's Donghai County, and there were also disagreements within the Andaman about whether to have a direct conflict with the Empire. This disagreement did not make the decision to intervene in the first place. What really made them decide was the Imperial Civil War and Chen Wu's crusade against Zhu Wen.

Chen Wu's Songjiang Army openly stood on the side of the eldest prince and started a war with the five princes of Zhongzhou!

This news prompted the Andaman people to make up their minds.

The Sailor is the foundation on which the Andaman people build their country, and the fact that the Empire does not pay attention to the Sailor is undoubtedly what the Andamanese want to see. In contrast, Chen Wu's vigorous investment in the water division made the Andaman people feel a strong threat. Everyone knows that with the huge size of the empire, once the Matsue Army is allowed to seize more territory, the size of the ships developed will be five or ten times that of the Andaman army. As for North Luzon, which is like fat, it will be completely insulated from them!

Therefore, the suppression of the Songjiang people and the Thai king Chen Wu became the unanimous decision of the Andaman city-state.

At the risk of offending Songjiang, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their current trade for the time being, and mobilized a large number of resources and manpower to connect with the Lamanite princes who were hiding in the Sulu region through the channels established by the previous intermittent trade. Of course, the prince knew that the Andamans did not have good intentions, but he had no choice in the current situation, so he was willing to fight and suffer, and formed an alliance against the Songjiang army.

Ideally, they would have let the Songjiang people suffer a big loss in North Luzon, or at least they would have to be confined here and lose blood incessantly. As a result, the Songjiang people were defeated in the imperial civil war, and the Qianyuan royal family, which did not pay attention to the sailors, regained power, and Luzon, whose local power had been heavily damaged, fell into the hands of the Andaman people, becoming a strategic support for the Andaman city-state to dominate the South Seas!

It took nearly a year to complete the first aid, and it was definitely slow in the real world before Chen Wu crossed over. The development of science and technology may make it possible for a war of annihilation to be fought in just one or two months. But in this feudal era, across the sea, the Andaman people can have this efficiency is already terrifying, which is enough to show the importance they attach to North Luzon.

At this moment, Lou Liuju, of course, does not know the true thoughts and determination of the Andaman people. But this is not really important, it is enough to make sure that the Andamans have intervened and become enemies of the Matsue army.

"Things are getting a little troublesome."

Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Lou Rokue frowned.

Luzon Island is thousands of nautical miles away from the imperial ports of Quanzhou and Changding, and the transportation of materials and the exchange of personnel and intelligence are all carried out by sailors. On the contrary, the Andaman people have a very strong sailor. If they really made up their minds, even if the Ninghai Division was pulled over, it would not be the opponent of the Andaman Naval Division.

He couldn't gauge Andaman determination, so he had to plan for the worst if necessary.

"Order He Shixiang, except for leaving a few troops to consolidate Lava, immediately return to the royal capital with the main force!"

A moment later, Lou Liue made his first decision.

After the outbreak of the Imperial Civil War, it was difficult for the Matsue army to devote too many troops to the Luzon side. The longer the Lamanite princes and the Sulu region dragged on, the more determined and vigorous the Andamanian people intervened. The most correct decision was to destroy the newly formed regime as quickly as possible at all costs - while the Sulu Legion had only just been formed.

For this reason, Lou Liue did not hesitate to give up the Cebu area that was about to be acquired. He would rather let the escaped Sukair survive for a while more than let Prince Laman gain a foothold in the Sulu region.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of cavalry rushed out of the royal capital and rushed towards Laoag at a speed of four hundred miles.

With the road conditions in Luzon, this speed is basically the extreme.

Almost without hesitation, Lou Liue immediately issued a second order: War ******!

Not only did he Shixiang's main force of the Songjiang Army fight, but even the North Luzon Garrison Division, Lou Liuzhong, planned to send them along. It has been some time since the reorganization of this surrendered unit, and it has also undergone preliminary training and personnel adjustments. Because of the original foundation, there is still some combat effectiveness. Lou Liuzhong's method is to offer a high reward to stimulate the morale of the army.

As long as there is morale and fighting spirit, the people of the North Luzon Garrison Division are definitely a force to be reckoned with.

In this way, the two forces will be launched together to take down the Sulu region with the power of thunder, so that the power of Prince Laman can be destroyed in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, he also sent someone to notify the Ninghai Division Detachment stationed on Yanji'an Island. On the one hand, it stepped up inspections to guard against possible active attacks by the Andaman sailors, and on the other hand, it sent the fastest sail ships to Quanzhou to report the news. When necessary, ask His Royal Highness the King of Thailand to dispatch some East China Sea divisions to assist in escorting!

Lou Liuzhong believed that the Andaman Naval Division was also powerful, and it was impossible to compare with the two naval divisions of the Songjiang Army. Once they realize the determination of the Matsue army and the impossibility of taking Luzon, the city-state in the South Seas will eventually choose to give up.

After all, businessmen are the most knowledgeable people in the world. They don't put more into a doomed goal to save in vain because of a momentary whim!

With a series of orders and dispatches, the officers and men of the North Luzon Garrison Division were boiling.

The Songjiang army not only offered a high reward of gold coins, but also offered the temptation of land, knighthood and even Songjiang nationality. Gold coins and fields were a great temptation for low-level soldiers and officers. And the knighthood and naturalization in the back are things that are coveted by middle and high-level officers and even Agno himself.

If you can enter Songjiang, you can get rid of the slightly embarrassing status of demotion, and you may even go to Shangguo to be an official!

This dilapidated Luzon Island, where can it compare to the prosperous Shangguo?

Almost in a day, the morale of the entire Northern Luzon garrison division was high. From top to bottom, preparations for the dispatch of troops began actively. As long as He Shixiang's troops who have advanced west return to the royal capital, they will be able to join forces and enter Morotai City!

As for Prince Laman?

Even the king of the Duchy of Luzon has been occupied, Suleiman V has been driven away, and what is there to fear from a prince who has set himself up as king? With the Songjiang Army basically firmly under the rule of the royal capital of Manila, the officers and men of the North Luzon Garrison Division did not have any psychological obstacles to this battle.

Of course, at the same time as the large-scale mobilization, Lou Liuzhong did not forget to carry out strategic deception.

Prince Rahman must not have imagined that the Matsue army would be so decisive and directly abandon the Cebu region, which was almost defenseless, and immediately turn back and send troops to Sulu. In order to paralyze the other side as much as possible so that it could be taken by surprise, Lou Liue blocked the mobilization as much as possible, and the main intersections on the border between the Quezon and Sulu regions were also intensified. At the same time, many people were arranged to release fake news.

Today it is claimed that the Songjiang army has reached the westernmost part of Laoag, and the next day it is announced that the army has moved south to Cebu, or it will be able to capture the whole of Cebu in less than half a month. Even if the news of the mobilization is difficult to completely block, the true and false news of the Guò can effectively confuse the enemy and make it difficult for them to make correct judgments.
