Chapter 357: Your Majesty Says You Are, You Are.
In fact, Xie Xuelong and the others had already discovered the white flag flying on the original Ollis's ship.
And the shooting of their ships has been stopped, focusing on other ships that still do not intend to surrender.
But I don't know what happened, the other party actually tore down the white flag again, and then began to turn around and fight with his side.
Since you don't plan to surrender, let's die.
LĂź Shiyun gave the order, and the four warships concentrated their firepower, all aimed at the warship of Olis.
After a burst of cannonballs, the warship was directly blown into a sieve by a few hit shells, and sank into the sea in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the fleets of the two sides were separated by less than a mile, and seeing that the opponent's artillery was getting more and more accurate, the soldiers who had not yet surrendered panicked. The white flag was also being hoisted, but the First Fleet was already not giving them a chance.
The artillery fire continued to roar, and one after another warships that did not surrender were hit and began to slowly sink.
The surrendering ships saw that the other side did not fire at them, and they also knew that the other side acquiesced in their own surrender. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel sad, after all, it would not be good for anyone to watch their comrades being killed by one cannon after another.
The First Fleet's artillery fire soon stopped, and at this time there were only fifteen Spanish ships left on the sea, except for the First Fleet. Xie Xuelong ordered them to wave a flag and tell them to turn around and return to Corregido Island.
Fifteen warships turned honestly under the guns of the First Fleet and lined up to go back. After a while, they ran into Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which had placed the surrendered soldiers and rushed over to support. Together, they rushed back with these fifteen Spanish ships.
"Franco, Ming's fleet, is it okay?" Before Xie Xuelong could speak, Lu Shiyun had already begun to get up.
Franco glanced at him and remained silent.
The strange thing is that he should be angry at this time.
Instead, he felt that everything was unreal.
As if in a dream, the steel battleship of the Ming Dynasty sailed to Manila Bay.
As if in a dream, the Ming Dynasty easily captured Manila.
As if in a dream, the Ming crushed the invincible armada they were proud of.
He quietly clenched his fists, and it wasn't until his nails stabbed his palms that he realized it was all true.
But why?
"Franco, if you could return to your country, would you come back?" Xie Xuelong's words interrupted Franco's thoughts.
"Go back?"
Franco's mind conjured up his home in New Mexico City and his son, whom he hadn't seen in three years.
"Can I go back?"
"I'd let you go if I could."
"Huh."
Franco smiled.
Swindler.
Shameless Ming readers!
Three different fleets returned to Corregidor together. Xie Xuelong sent fifty warships to guard the mouth of Manila Bay, and then led the rest of the fleet to escort a group of surrendered soldiers to Manila.
At this time, there was not a single sailing warship on the sea in Manila Bay, and they came all the way to the port and found that the port had been taken over by the soldiers under Zheng Zhilong.
Xie Xuelong walked down from the boat with Lu Shiyun, and the other soldiers continued to wait on the boat. didn't go far, and ran into Zheng Zhilong and others who rushed to hear the news.
"Oops! Inspector! Look up for a long time!" Zheng Zhilong saw the Inspector at a glance.
"Mr. Zheng, it's a good luck!" Xie Xuelong didn't stand upright, and returned the salute with a smile.
"Let's go! Go into the city and say!" Zheng Zhilong affectionately took Xie Xuelong's hand and pulled him to the city together.
The crowd gathered around the two of them and went straight to the governor's palace.
"This red-haired ghost will enjoy it." After sitting down, Xie Xuelong looked at the magnificent decorations in the hall and said with a smile.
"No, the red-haired ghost has been in Luzon for decades. Relying on this Manila Bay alone, I don't know what it has brought to their country
How much gains. And the governor of Luzon is a good position that everyone is vying for, just like the emperor of the soil. But by the time we got here, their governor had already run away."
"Ran away?" Xie Xuelong was surprised. "When did you run?" Where did you go?"
He had only heard Franco say that he had been appointed as a new governor, but he had not heard that he had run away.
"After the city was broken, I didn't know where I went, so I said I ran away by boat. Have you met it?"
"Nope! Two fleets of red-haired ghosts escaped, but I had the mouth of Manila Bay blocked, so no boat could escape."
"That's weird, a lot of people saw him go on the boat." Zheng Zhilong was also very puzzled, he thought that Seleizuo had escaped by boat, and he would inevitably meet Xie Xuelong, but he didn't expect it to be not.
"Mr. Zheng, I brought all the red-haired ghosts who surrendered, let people recognize them, and see if they were disguised."
"Good!"
Zheng Zhilong nodded and arranged for someone to check on the captives.
"I hope I can find him, and I'm going to take him to the capital to receive the reward."
"Isn't it a great achievement for Zheng Zongbing to take this Manila?"
"Without the hell cannon supported by His Majesty, I don't know if it will be the year of the donkey to capture this Manila." Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly. Long-range combat, supply difficulties, and the soldiers' lack of adaptation to the soil and water have all become obstacles to victory. If it weren't for His Majesty's precautionary support, he really wouldn't have had the confidence to take Manila.
"Okay, now that you're talking, I'll introduce you to the Inspector. This is my brother, Zheng Zhibao. This is Lu Jiang from the capital, General Lu."
Zheng Zhilong pointed to the person next to him to introduce Xie Xuelong, and finally pointed to Conley, and said slowly and meaningfully:
"This is, the new King of Luzon, Conley!"
As soon as Conley heard Zheng Zhilong's introduction, he hurriedly stood up from his chair and saluted Xie Xuelong in a strange manner.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. I've seen the Inspector!"
"Oh? You are the King of Luzon who His Majesty has personally canonized?"
"Exactly!"
"Extraordinary! Since it was canonized by His Majesty himself, what would he not dare to do." After a pause, Xie Xuelong continued, "Your Majesty said that you are, that is. If His Majesty says you're not, then you're not. King Conley, do you understand this?"
"Understood! I, Conley, will swear to pursue His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the death! Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't hesitate!"
Conley's posture is low.
I can't help but be low.
The double impact of the hell cannon and the steel battleship has raised the image of the Ming Emperor in his heart to a god-like height.
To be a rich king at the mercy of others is a thousand times stronger than death!
As he was talking, one of Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers ran in from outside.
"Commander! We found two empty ships in a place called Caveit, and the captives identified them as having taken the Governor of Luzon in these two boats!"
"What?" Zheng Zhilong stood up. "Find a map!"
