"Master Hou, will there be any danger in my father's visit?"

Looking at the pirate flag with the word "Chinese" gradually disappearing in the sky, Lin Waner, who had just learned about her father's true identity, looked at Wang Bing with concern.

In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, on February 18th, after staying in Manila to accompany his daughter for a few days, Lin Feng, the former 'Pirate King', officially came back. With Wang Bing's 'sponsored' more than a dozen Western warships and ' Nearly a thousand Royal Navy officers and soldiers who retired and settled in Nanyang began to go to various places in Nanyang to gather the gangster subordinates who had followed him out of the world.

"Haha, Wan'er, don't worry. Island Master Lin has been traveling all over the world for decades and has a lot of experience at sea. In addition, he has a much better ship and cannon than he had before. Only he can bring danger to others. How can he bring danger to others? Danger can come close to him!"

Speaking of which, Wang Bing has spent a lot of money on this pirate force! Not only did he give Lin Feng a dozen of the best and latest captured and repaired Xiyi warships, but he also equipped them with all the artillery. Complete.

Of course, the breech-loading naval guns used by the Royal Navy, which were hundreds of years ahead of their time, were naturally impossible to equip.

But even so, Lin Feng now has more than a dozen warships that are equivalent to his starting capital, and their combat power cannot be underestimated. If he encounters most of the Western Yi fleets, he will definitely be equally matched and will not fall behind!

"Hehe, the Marquis is right, my father is a big pirate! It's just that the Marquis gave such a good battleship to my father, are you really not afraid that my father will..."

Although she doesn't know much about fighting, Lin Wan'er, who has lived in Luzon since she was a child, is also quite aware of the strength of these common Xiyi warships.

Therefore, when she saw Wang Bing giving the best of the captured Xiyi warships to Lin Feng, while she felt secretly happy in her heart, the little girl was still a little worried.

"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't you see that I still have a 'hostage' like you, haha!"

"Master Hou~"

…

"Those pickpockets from the War Bureau have finally delivered this ammunition supply!"

Seeing the two giant ships slowly docking in front of them, the soldiers of the 'Conquering the Barbarians' army, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Not long after Lin Feng, a maritime giant, left Manila to gather his old troops, at the end of February, two newly built treasure ship-type transport ships finally arrived in Manila, carrying two full ships of ammunition supplies.

"Master Marquis, now that the ammunition supply has arrived, it's time for us to take action, right?"

With the arrival of ammunition supplies, the General Manager Zhengyi entered the camp, and a group of generals once again looked over eagerly.

"Haha, considering that in the previous naval battle of Manila, the main maritime force of the Western Barbarian Allied Forces has been annihilated, this time, the army will not act collectively!"

Seeing the eager look on his subordinate's face, Wang Bing nodded, and then began to arrange the combat mission.

"Qian Kuan, you lead three thousand Fujian soldiers to stay in Luzon and collect grain and grass. At the same time, you recruit local people to open up wasteland and grow grain. It would be a pity not to grow grain in such a good place!"

As a region in Nanyang where rice can be harvested three times a year, how could Wang Bing leave such a God-given granary unused?

You must know that in the original historical time and space, in addition to these and other reasons, the reason why the Ming Dynasty perished was that the various natural disasters caused by the Little Ice Age decades later, which greatly reduced the output of various food crops, were also one of the most important reasons.

one.

Although we don’t know if there will be any ‘little glaciers’ in this time and space, it’s always good to be prepared in advance. After all, the world is huge, and eating is the biggest thing!

Therefore, this time Wang Bing went to Nanyang to expel the Western Barbarians. In addition to cleaning up the "beds" and restoring the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, another important reason was to find a brand new "granary" for the Ming Dynasty just in case.

Therefore, the first task of Qian Kuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian Town who was left by Wang Bing to guard Luzon, was to let the local people in Luzon reclaim wasteland and grow food.

For this reason, while transporting ammunition supplies this time, he asked the little fat man to order many "agricultural experts" to be brought from home.

"Besides, if the local people are disobedient, you can just do whatever you want!"

Finally, Wang Bing was worried that the previous retaliatory expedition was too cruel and the people of Luzon would resist after the army left, so Wang Bing directly gave Qian Kuan the power to deal with it independently.

In fact, speaking of it, Wang Bing was overthinking this. For these local 'aboriginals' who feared power rather than morality, they had been frightened by the previous retaliatory conquests of the Ming army, so how could they dare to resist.

In addition, Luzon had always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the past, so their resistance to the Ming army was not as great as Wang Bing thought.

"Ji Jin, you can command hundreds of second- and third-level battleships and stay in Luzon. Maybe there will be unexpected gains, haha!"

After ordering Qian Kuan to stay in Luzon, Wang Bing, who was about to assign tasks to the Royal Navy, suddenly felt something in his heart after seeing the map hung by the Spaniards on the wall, and then stayed in Luzon.

formed a small fleet.

"Chen Lin, I have ordered you to lead the remaining half of the warships, together with other Fujian soldiers, and take the route west of Suzhou, Fanni, to Manlajia. Clean out all the strongholds and cities of the Western Yi Fangui along the way, and declare the Ming Dynasty's plan.

Come back again. If there is any resistance, no matter the Western barbarians or the Southern barbarians, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Deng Zilong, you lead the other half of the warships, carry the Yulin Guards, and go with me to the east of Suwei Ni, along the Java and Old Port lines to Manalajia!"

"After reuniting, we will head west to Sumatra, pass through the Lion Country, and finally reach Goa, which is occupied by Portugal, as the end point of this stage of the battle!"

After arranging the stay in Luzon, Wang Bing immediately divided the remaining imperial navy into two, with the Yulin Guards and Fujian Zhenbing as the "Marine Corps". The troops were divided into two groups and began to sweep and patrol the entire Nanyang Kingdom along the way.

.While expelling the Western Barbarians, they also "showed off their power" for the return of the Ming Dynasty!

…

"Two governors, I said before that I will give you your freedom after the Luzon matter is over. Now, the Luzon matter has been almost settled, and my army is about to leave here, so I have decided to return it now.

You are free!"

The day after assigning tasks to each army, while all the armies were still making preparations for the expedition, Wang Bing ordered to call in the two leaders of the 'Portuguese-Dutch Puppet Army'.

The Portuguese Governor of Goa, Conde Da, and the Dutch East India Company Governor Van Linburgh informed them of the news of their freedom.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Merciful Marquis, are you going to lead your army back home?"

When they heard that the Ming army was about to leave, the two of them couldn't help feeling secretly happy.

"Return to the country? Hahahaha, have you two forgotten the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor that I announced in Yuegang? These Nanyang countries are vassals of my Ming Dynasty. You previously occupied this place while my Ming Dynasty was busy with the northern captives.

By killing the people of my vassal, do you really think that Ming Dynasty is easy to bully?"

Glancing at the two guys who had just been freed and continued to think about good things, Wang Bing couldn't help but laugh jokingly.

"Respect the benevolent Marquis, we have come all the way and have been living and operating here for almost a hundred years. And we have also obtained the tribute qualifications from the Ming Dynasty on behalf of other countries. Can your Marquis..."

Seeing the joking smile on Wang Bing's face, Conde wanted to struggle again. After all, the Portuguese were no better than the Dutch who had just arrived. They had been in Nanyang for nearly a hundred years. It would be too unwilling to just give up.

Got it!

"No! My Ming Dynasty has a saying, 'How can I allow others to sleep soundly on this side of the bed?' These Nanyang vassals have been my vassal states in the Central Plains since ancient times, and they are my sphere of influence in the Ming Dynasty. How can you allow you Western Yi people to occupy this place?

?”

However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Bing directly interrupted his topic, sealing his delusion without any room for negotiation.

"It's natural for your people to come here to live and do business, but if you want to occupy land and colonize like you did in the New World of America, then don't even think about it!"

In the end, considering the need to cultivate allies and agents in Europe for the future, Wang Bing did not kill them directly like he did with the Spaniards, but gave them a chance to leave with dignity.

"Of course, you can also choose to continue to fight against our Great Tomorrow Army. That is your freedom and right. But I would like to remind you that if you are captured by me again next time, there will be no way to regain your freedom.

It’s so easy, after all, there aren’t that many Spaniards to ‘make atonement’ for you!”

Finally, when he waved the two of them to leave, Wang Bing smiled at them with a 'kind' look.

"Come here, give the two of them the repaired Xiyi warships as a substitute. Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so we can't let people swim back, haha!"

…

"I originally thought that the Eastern Giant had decayed, but I didn't expect that it was just a nap... We Dutch arrived late!"

After walking out of the Zhengyi General Manager's camp, Fanlin Berg couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"So, you Dutch are ready to listen to the Ming Dynasty and withdraw from here?"

Hearing Van Linberg's emotion, Kong Deda immediately turned his head and looked over.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? The Ming Dynasty is too strong and cannot be beaten again and again. Are you going to be like De Vera and the others, and have their flesh cut off piece by piece by the Ming Dynasty people with knives?"

Luolinberg, who couldn't help but shudder, shrugged helplessly, but he very wisely chose to listen to Daming!

"Besides, we came to the East just to do business. Now that the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty has expressed his welcome to our business, it is not a loss. After all, this is an ancient civilized country, not the New World of America.

Those primitive people!

Finally, the Dutch, who originally wanted to colonize the East, wisely gave up their original plan and prepared to do business with the Ming Dynasty honestly.

…

"I said, Third Brother, how did you let these people go? Even if you want to let them go, you have to wait until the army sets off before letting them go!"

Just when Van Linberg lamented the bad times in Dutch life and planned to do business with the Ming Dynasty honestly, on the other side, General Manager Zhengyi was in the camp. Li Chengming, who had rushed over after hearing the news, couldn't help but rush to the king.

Bing complained endlessly.
