Chapter 159: Lord Yang, Lord Chen

On the surface of the sea, the sound of fire guns rang out frequently.

With bursts of fire and rising black smoke.

The pirates were swept down more than half.

Although there are many pirate ships, most of them are small boats and clippers.

It's pretty good to be able to carry a small-pounder gun.

Compared with the Ming army's bird boats, eagle boats, to the Franc machine guns, down to the turtledove's foot guns, self-generated fire guns, various types of fire guns, are fully equipped.

Once the two sides encountered, even if the pirates had a numerical advantage, they were defeated again and again.

Soon, most of the pirate clippers roaming the sea were cleared by the bird boats and eagle ships of the Ming army's Fubo Town.

The pirate leaders who had already been frightened by the sudden killing of the Ming army's Fubo Town Water Division naturally did not have the courage to fight.

Several pirate leaders each rushed desperately to the periphery with a few major ships.

Li Du looked coldly at the pirate ships that had fled.

Not long ago, the pirate ships were besieging the Ming army and sailors, but now they are running away like a lost dog.

The sailor of Fubo Town did not stop the fleeing pirates.

Because both sides know very well that pirates are not invincible.

It's really unwilling to fight with the Ming army's sailors.

After all, they were also forcibly integrated and pieced together by Muhanvili, and it was okay to fight with a single drum, but when they encountered the desperate rush and division of the Ming army's reinforcements, the forcibly condensed team would naturally collapse.

After all, most pirates don't want to fight to the death with the Ming army, the ocean is so big, and the Ming army can only dominate a sea area, can't I still avoid it?

They used to escape under the guns of the Spanish ships, and they are the same now.

Therefore, when the reinforcements of the Ming army rushed into the pirates, several pirate leaders knew that the general trend had gone, and they did not care about Muhanvili, who was still fighting hard with the water division town, and sailed along the wind to the periphery.

Although several large bird ships were still pursuing, the main warships of the Ming army gave up the pursuit, but tacitly surrounded Muhanvili's pirate forces.

After all, this is the big fish of the South Seas, and the other small fish will run away.

Muhhandvili's face was gloomy, and just a few pirate leaders of the South Seas turned their backs on him, taking with them nearly half of the pirate ships.

And there are only a few dozen pirate ships floating on the surface of the sea.

In terms of numbers, the Ming army had already surpassed Muhanvili's men in the number of warships in Fubo Town, not to mention the sailor town that was playing with his life.

"Bang."

A chain bullet came out of Xiao Wu's main ship, directly destroying the mast and sails of Muhanvili's ship, and suddenly the speed of the four-masted gunboat was dropped.

"Not good." Muhanvili also broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and it was obvious that the Ming army sailors would not let him go.

The guns on the deck also fired at the Ming warship, and as the former main ship of the Black Flag Gang, the pirate ship at the feet of Muhanvili was also famous.

In the last Battle of Lasag, the eighteen-pound cannon killed the flagship of the Spanish Admiral Scol, which made the pirates of Luzon proud of their eyebrows.

Now it is surrounded by no less than ten armed galleons of the Ming army.

Although the number of guns of these armed merchant ships converted from Spanish galleons was inferior to that of Spanish battleships, the quality of the ships and the firepower of their guns were better than those of pirate ships of the same class.

The Ming army also did not have a gentlemanly manner, and when they saw that Muhanvili was slowing down in the boat, they surrounded him.

A Franc cannon, a falcon cannon, a saiko cannon and even a Hongyi cannon joined the bombardment.

Although this four-masted gunboat is majestic and unstoppable like a lion on the sea, it can't stand the wolves.

Soon smoke billowed from one part of the cabin, and even one of the masts was smashed by a heavy artillery shell, and the huge canvas fell straight into the sea.

The nearby pirate ships wanted to rescue, but they were entangled by the Ming army's bird ships and Haicang ships.

Soon, a Ming army ship crashed into the gunboat.

"Brothers, give it to me." A Ming army squad leader roared.

It's not just pirates who will engage in broadside battles, it is obvious that Xiao Wu is eyeing this treasure ship.

Without saying a word, the Ming saber players rushed directly to the deck to fight with the pirates, and the Ming gunners and archers on the distant ship tower continued to suppress the pirates' counterattack with firearms and arrows.

There was not much suspense in the battle, some of the Ming galleons had stopped firing, and only some bird boats were still chasing the struggling pirates on the sea.

Looking at the two sides fighting on the deck, Muhanvili was expressionless, he just looked up at the Ming Army Fu Ship Building.

He knew that the Ming army admiral was also watching him.

Muhanvili did not say much, and with the roars and curses from the deck, he slowly drew the fire gun from his waist and shot his own head.

A corpse fell straight into the sea.

But no one pays attention to whether there is an extra floating corpse on the surface of the sea, because there are too many corpses floating on the sea.

There were pirates, there were Ming troops, there were Luzon Tufan, and there were Ming people.

Laoag City,

The Ming people in the city naturally didn't know that the naval battle hundreds of nautical miles away had ended, and Su Langqing welcomed the group into the governor's mansion with a solemn face.

According to common sense, it is enough for Su Langqing to be directly in charge of these merchant fleets, but the group of people who came to Laoag today made Su Langqing feel that it was not a small matter, so it was better to meet Liu Yu in person and leave it to Lord Liu Yu to deal with.

Liu Yu, who was in the governor's palace, also had nothing to do during this time, except for appointing town officials such as Laoag and Tulaobange, he was to crown the chiefs of Tufan in various places.

The expansion of the Luzon overland trade route and the exploration and excavation of silver in Luzon by the Mining Division kept Liu Yu and the indigenous officials of Laoag busy.

Knowing that a group of merchant ships came from Annan to meet him, Liu Yu also took time to receive these Dongpu visitors.

"On the orders of Lord Chen, Lord Yang and Lord Yang led eight ships to set sail from Dongpu to Laoag to meet the Marquis of Zhongyong." An old man with gray temples at the head saluted Liu Yu in the lobby.

Liu Yu frowned, Marquis Zhongyong was the title given to him by Zhu Honghuan at the beginning, of course, the title was useless in Luzon, a foreign land, and he basically didn't use it, so an East Indian merchant like Gore would mention it, and of course now he has a new title.

"The loyal and brave marquis can plan a good war, and lead Taiwan's anti-Qing righteous division south to Luzon to protect the Chinese, so that my Ming overseas people will not suffer from the slaughter of the Franc machine, which is really a blessing for the Ming people." The thin old man was well-dressed, and his tone was very gentle, without the slightest ripple, so that Liu Yu couldn't help but look up.

"What do you want to do in Luzon, do business." Liu Yu asked.

"Not only did I come to Luzon to do business, but I also came to Luzon on the orders of Lord Yang and Lord Chen to congratulate me on the re-establishment of Luzon by the Ming Dynasty." The old man said softly.

"Lord Yang, Lord Chen......" Liu Yu muttered to himself.

Su Langqing, who was on the side, hurriedly handed the documents in his hand to Liu Yu.

The font of the document is plaintext, and Liu Yu can naturally understand it, but Liu Yu suddenly realized it after reading it in detail.

It turned out that the person who came was a native of Minh Thanh, Vietnam.

The so-called Lord Chen, Lord Yang is Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi, two anti-Qingming leaders who fled south to Vietnam.

Chen Shangchuan, the word is shengcai, the number is righteous, the young man is smart, he learns the art of the system, and is good at poetry and writing.

He once joined the Yongli regime to resist the Qing Dynasty, and later served the country surnamed Ye, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Gao, Lian, and Lei

In the third year of the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Shangchuan led his troops to attack Qinzhou, defeated the Qing soldiers who were chasing after him, occupied Qinzhou Bay, and cruised the South China Sea from time to time, entering and leaving the ports of Tokyo, Quang Nam and Khmer to protect the Zheng shipping merchants.

For 15 years, the naval division led by Chen Shangchuan and others protected the merchant ships sent by the Ming and Zheng dynasties of Taiwan to trade with various parts of Southeast Asia, and on the other hand, cooperated with Wu Sangui's military operations in Liangguang.

After the rebellion of the three feudatories was put down by the Qing Dynasty in 1679, Tran Shang Chuan did not want to become a subject of the Qing Dynasty, so he and his lieutenant Chen An Binh led 3,000 men to the port of Tu Yen in Quang Nam in 50 warships, asking for the protection of the Maven Nguyen Phuc Binh.

Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of praising his loyalty and did not want to refuse; At that time, Guangnan was in the process of reclaiming territory in the south, so Chen Shangchuan and another overseas Chinese leader, Yang Yandi, were ordered to go to the southern areas of Bianhe and Dingxiang to reclaim fields, build houses and cities.

Yang Yandi and Huang Jin led their troops to be stationed in the Meidi area, and Chen Shangchuan and Chen Anping were stationed in Jiading, Pangong and other places to establish villages and cities, making the local area a prosperous place for trade.

The people led by Chen Shangchuan are the ancestors of today's Ming Xiang people in Vietnam.

"I didn't expect it to be two Chinese leaders entrenched in Vietnam." Liu Yu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after reading the documents and letters.
