The change of hands of the city of Mindu Los Angeles was extremely devastating, and the shock to the royal capital of Manila and the entire Duchy of Luzon was extremely great. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-※%,

The Quezon region is the main grain-producing area of Luzon, and the terrain is mostly a vast plain with no danger to defend. Once the gateway barrier of Mindoro is lost, the royal capital of Manila will have no point to defend in the north. The Songjiang army that occupies this place can drive straight into Manila and fight all the way to Manila!

Suleiman V finally got out of drinking and had fun, and held a court meeting behind a lavish palace made of gold everywhere to inquire about the war in the north.

However, there are few ministers who can give him detailed answers or even provide some accurate information.

The reason is simple, the army of Luzon was defeated too quickly and too ruthlessly!

The original battle of Yanji'an Island buried 5,000 people in the left battalion of the Northern Army. It was only at this time that the nobles of the entire Duchy of Luzon began to turn their attention to the north, and mobilized the remaining two battalions of the Medan Army and the Northern Army to fight together, and sent sailors to help...... And then there was no then.

First of all, a few days ago, news came from the side of Cagayan, the commander of the naval division, that the landing did not go well. Within a few days, all 25,000 people who had landed were wiped out. The enemy suddenly appeared under the city of Mindoro and took over the entire city overnight!

The whole process was like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and the army of the Principality of Luzon seemed to be powerless in front of these enemies!

Where does the enemy come from? How many people are there? What is the purpose? How was the landed Luzon army defeated? Where are you going next?

Every question was unanswered by the Luzon aristocracy. After all, the situation has evolved like this, and it was only one battlefield away from their attention. And this war was still fought on Yanjian Island, outside of Northern Luzon, and the news was completely blocked by the enemy!

Unknown enemy. The unimaginably powerful, seemingly irresistible attack greatly exacerbated the panic of the Luzon aristocracy. After all, the Northern Legion and the Medan Legion were half of the Principality's regular army. In less than ten days, the army was completely annihilated, and the low-intensity war on Luzon was simply unimaginable.

In the current situation, Suleiman V did not care about the nobles whose families had officers in the Northern Legion and the Medan Legion. Even without considering the immediate recruitment of new soldiers and the reorganization of armaments, after some controversy, it was decided to send an envoy to the city of Mindu to contact outsiders.

Sue for peace!

This confidant of Suleiman V was tasked with figuring out the origin of the Matsue army. If you can, even if you pay some gold and silver, you have to make the other side stop attacking - of course, it would be better if you could get Mindu Los Angeles back. As for the use of military means to recapture ......

What if I lose?

Suleiman V was not a very eloquent monarch and therefore had his own set of views on the current situation. If the enemy can easily take out the Northern Army and the Medan Army, it may not be possible to kill his own Royal Capital Army. And these 15,000 troops. But the foundation of his own rule in Luzon has been established. If there is no suppression from them, I am afraid that my throne will be unstable immediately, and the leaders everywhere will never mind rising up.

As for such a simple peace, it is a bit humiliating to lose power and humiliate the country, but there are gold mines in Luzon!

A small amount of gold and silver, as long as it can be exchanged for his own power and stability, he will give it, and it is a big deal to scavenge it back from those lowly serfs in the future.

That's the idea. At the court meeting of the Duchy of Luzon, he actually received the support of many people. A small number of opponents, though very unhappy with this weakness and concessions. But when they want to be tough and revengeful, they have to bow their heads when they face reality. The news from the side of the Admiral Cagayan proves that the enemy has a strong naval division that can transport more troops here. And their own principality only has two legions at the moment, and the Cebu legion is not so reliable......

Even if you want to fight back immediately. At the moment, the Duchy of Luzon is not capable enough!

In the end, Suleiman V's decision was still understood, and the envoy, escorted by a troop of cavalry, made his way north to the city of Mindola with good intentions. Still halfway through. Suleiman's envoy had only recently received some of the latest information. It was still unclear and even contradictory, but at least it gave the envoy an idea of who he was negotiating with.

A day and a half later, in the barracks of Mindu Luocheng, he met Agno, who had surrendered to the Songjiang Army and was named the commander of the Luzon Garrison Division, as well as He Shixiang, who was in charge of commanding the battle, and Shi Liang, the commander of the naval division. As for the appointment documents, they were blank official documents written by Chen Wu in advance and stamped with a large seal, and they only needed to be filled in with their names temporarily.

Facing the surprised gaze of the old man, Agno's face was faintly red, but then it was replaced by shame and pretended arrogance.

Qianyuan Empire: What is that? A huge empire dozens of times larger than tiny Luzon! He is no longer the commander of the Luzon army, but the commander of the division of the country!

In Luzon, where the class was already stricter than that of the Qianyuan Empire, Agno was very sensitive to the changes in his identity, and thought that he was already superior, no, he was already superior!

Although there are some people who look down on Agno in their hearts, the purpose of the envoy's visit is also very embarrassing. When an enemy invades normally and the army is heavily damaged, shouldn't you send an envoy to reprimand and declare war? The Duchy of Luzon was good, but as soon as the city of Los Angeles was lost, and the enemy had not even shown signs of attacking Manila in the south, the Principality took the initiative to send people to sue for peace.

Because of this, the envoy's mouth moved, and in the end he couldn't say anything sarcastic.

………

"Why do you want to attack you?"

personally received the envoy of the Luzon Emperor, and in the face of the other party's question, He Shixiang's face changed, and he said sharply: "This is a big mistake!" Our fleet originally intended to attack the Kingdom of Oman, but due to Storm Trek, it inadvertently arrived near Yanjian Island. Originally, I wanted to land on the island to buy some food and water with a peaceful attitude, but I didn't want the civilians of Yanji'an Island to take the initiative to attack our army, which is unbearable! ”

Although this statement is really crude and logically unreasonable, there is one thing that can barely be considered true. That is, it was indeed the natives of Yanji'an Island who shot the first arrow -- of course, He Shixiang would not admit that the natives of Yanji'an Island did so after the sailors put on an armed landing posture.

"The battle was started first by the Ilogo people of Yanjian Island?"

The envoy was taken aback, as a nobleman from Manila, the royal capital, he really didn't know anything about Yanjian Island. His only impression was that the island was north of Luzon -- quite large. As for the temperament of the natives on the island, and how they will react to outsiders, they are ignorant.

Because of this, he was not sure whether the words of the Imperials were true or false - although it seemed that the falsehood was more likely to be false, but if it was, why did the Imperials suddenly become interested in Luzon?

Unable to distinguish the truth from the false, he could only choose to be vague in the end. neither admitted it, but did not dare to oppose it, for fear of angering the other party. After a few words of protest in a low voice, he changed his voice and expressed his misunderstanding and apologies, and even Agno, who was in the audience, did not understand the real purpose of the envoy.

"Getting to the point!"

He Shixiang was a little impatient with the envoy's ambiguity, before the other party came, he was discussing with Shi Liang, the admiral of the water division, about the planned evacuation of Mindu Luocheng.

Seeing that the general of Shangguo seemed to be angry, Mr. Special Envoy was worried that his errand would be ruined, so he could only shut up in time, swallowed half of the nonsense, and expressed his intention: I hope that the Songjiang army can stop in front of Mindu Luocheng and not continue to attack Manila in the south!

"For this, His Majesty, the Emperor of my principality, is willing to give a certain amount of compensation."

The envoy had already said as tactfully as possible, but He Shixiang and Shi Liang, the commander of the naval division, as well as the other Songjiang Army officers present, still couldn't believe what they had just heard, and some even subconsciously plucked out their ears.

This envoy did not come to declare war or accuse the Songjiang army, but to sue for peace!

Although there have been several times in the history of the empire before the empire, it has always reached the worst situation, and even the foreign soldiers were forced to negotiate and withdraw from the imperial capital. At present, the Songjiang army has just occupied the city of Minduluo, and even if it is possible to continue sending troops after half a month at the earliest, the Duchy of Luzon can't wait to sue for peace -- it seems that it is even more active than the Songjiang army.

"It's really ...... like this"

Surprised, He Shixiang couldn't help but admire Chen Wu's eyes again.

Before the departure of the army, Chen Wu had told him about the situation in the Duchy of Luzon and the development of the war situation. Among other things, after the capture of the northern city of Mindulo, the Duchy of Luzon may have two reactions. He Shixiang once thought that the Luzon Principality would choose to gather troops to fight again, or simply rely on the royal capital to defend it, after all, the Songjiang army came from far across the ocean, and the replenishment of troops was limited. But I thought that the Duchy of Luzon had really negotiated peace.

The backup plan that Chen Wu drew up at that time now has a place to use.

After exchanging glances with Admiral Shi Liang, he did not hesitate, scolded the other party sharply, and made an attitude that he wanted to continue to go south and swear not to rest if he did not defeat Manila. and wantonly boasted of the strength of the Songjiang Army, and said that if the Duchy of Luzon dared to continue to fight against the army of the Supreme Kingdom, then it would not only be them who would land in Luzon next, but an army of 100,000 or even 200,000!

"The War of Annihilation!"

The envoy was really frightened by He Shixiang, with the news of his own words in the past, coupled with the rapid destruction of the Northern Army and the Medan Army, the Duchy of Luzon was a bit of a myth about the strength of the Songjiang Army. Hearing that the other party still had hundreds of thousands of troops, his face immediately turned pale, and he lowered his posture to the lowest, begging for He Shixiang's forgiveness.

"It's not impossible to pause the offense."

When Suleiman V's envoy was almost desperate, He Shixiang's voice changed, and in the mood of the envoy as if he was desperate for life, he made the conditions for the Songjiang army to suspend the offensive. (To be continued.) )
