Chapter 41: I come to see me conquer

Although the three brothers in trouble look miserable, they are all made of century-old oak, and even if they dismantle wood and sell scrap iron, they can be worth a lot of money.

If it can be repaired, it will be even more profitable. The coast guard fleet started too late and had too little money. There are too many places that require giant ships to settle the market. It is not built in a short time, and it is an excellent supplement to seize some large ships.

For example, the Portuguese galleon Gareras, which was captured at the time, has now been incorporated into the direct fleet of the Danluo garrison area, cruised in the Japanese waters, shocking the Japanese and Li Chao water pirates who were ready to move.

Another Carac sailboat, the Pena, which was captured at the same time, was incorporated into the Taiwan Security Zone and was generously delegated to the Chameng Water Police Station by Jinke to deter the ambitious Annan people.

As for the Duke of Goa, which was stuck with the Zhenwu, the hull was severely damaged and almost half a set of keels was replaced. The only Jiangnan shipyard that had the ability to repair it had no construction schedule. After pushing and pushing, it could only be towed to Anbuna Island with a sailboat. It has been two years since I was still lying in the dry dock...

If these three big guys with rotten chrysanthemums can be repaired and entered service, it will be of great help to the group to consolidate its position in the South China Sea.

No matter how bad their control is, a thousand-ton giant ship is a deterrent. If there is such a ship in a sea area, the attitudes of the countries in the region will be particularly gentle. It also treats various amnesia, allowing countries to quickly recall the beautiful years when they were sons for their fathers...

After dinner, the ships received the captives. In this battle, the naval fleet was almost unscathed, and basically annihilated the Spanish Philippine fleet and captured more than 1,000 naval and sailors, including two colonel captains... Of course, most of the sailors were natives of the South Ocean, and the naval soldiers were mainly Mexicans, and only more than 100 soldiers and officers were red-haired ghosts.

But it's not bad. Now the coast guard no longer needs to learn from the skills of the foreigners. No matter whether he is a red hair or a old man, he will be sent to mining.

The only regret is that there was no major general Bamund, the commander of the Philippine fleet, among the prisoners, which made Wang Rulong and others feel very heartbroken. Because they already knew that the senior officials of the Red-haired Ghost were very valuable. Moreover, the Spanish were much richer than the Portuguese, so they were a major general. They wouldn’t have to spend 100,000 to redeem him?

So their mood at this moment is like a brothel madam letting the red card girl go for nothing...

Wang Rulong, who felt that he had lost 100,000 taels of silver, left two frigates to guard the captured ships. He led the naval fleet to attack Sanglay Cape overnight, trying to see if he could steal a chicken while the opponent was defeated and take the enemy's naval base.

He really let him steal it...

At dawn the next day, when a frigate exploring the way carefully sailed into the narrow port entrance of the Sanglai Naval Base, he saw that the fortresses on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were mute and had no reaction at all.

The frigate continued to go deeper and found that it was already in chaos. There were indigenous people with bare butts or naked upper bodies everywhere, happily moving things out from the Spanish barracks and warehouses. Various military supplies were scattered all over the ground, and it was obvious that the Spanish at the base had already escaped.

It turned out that Major General Bamengde was scared and decided to go back to Cebu overnight. He was afraid that he would be intercepted by Ming Fleet or pirates on the way, and there were not many people left at the horizontal and vertical base, so he gave up the critical position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and took all his subordinates to board the remaining sailboats and fled out of Manila Bay in a hurry.

In order to strengthen his strength, when passing by Correcido, he also took away the company stationed on the island, greatly reducing the mission volume of the coast guard fleet.

Of course, his greatest contribution to the Coast Guard fleet is still behind, and he is the kind who has made great contributions.

Compared to Wang Rulong's killing and killing at sea, the wind swept the remaining clouds, the progress of the land offensive was much slower.

Because here is facing the sturdy Manila royal city, a tall stone fortress, and they are all outside the range of naval guns. The Big Bo Lang aircraft of the inland support boat hit the city wall like a tickling, and can only be discussed for a long time...

After Wu Da landed, he discussed with Tang Paul and overseas Chinese leaders whether to move the overseas Chinese out of the stream and set up a temporary camp on the beach to the north.

This not only avoids the Spaniards' artillery attacks in the royal city, but also places the expatriates under the protection of naval guns, and is convenient for all aspects of material replenishment.

The overseas Chinese leaders regarded the coast guards as life-saving straw and naturally followed the rules. So the 2,000 marines of the First and Second Marines began to set up beachhead positions and barracks with the assistance of the overseas Chinese.

The lower-class people are strong and have professional equipment, so they are very good at doing this kind of work. Before dark, they worked with the expatriates to dig trenches around the camp and pull barbed wire.

The coast guards who were not on duty were not idle either. They rowed small boats and transported bundles of neatly packed supplies from the sailboat to the beach.

The Marines found the package with the words "tent", opened it, took out a numbered tarpaulin tent, and set it up in the camp.

The number on the tent oil cloth is started with the word "Jing", followed by eight digits, such as "Jing 05103711". In addition to facilitating material statistics and reducing corruption and waste, it can also clearly trace the origin of the manufacturers and workers who produce it.

The word "Jing" indicates that the oil cloth used in these tents is produced in Jing County, Ningguo Prefecture, Huizhou.

Jiangnan Group has a huge demand for tents. Whether it is the coast guard or the construction army of the engineering team, they urgently need a tent that can shelter from wind and rain.

The General Equipment Department of the Coast Guard collected rainproof materials on the market. After comparison and research, it was found that the oil cloth used in Jingxian to make oil cloth umbrellas has good waterproofness, firmness, wind resistance, durability, insulated and lightning protection, which can fully meet the current needs for field camps.

Therefore, the group and "Jingkaisi" jointly established Jiangnan Rainproof Materials Company and allocated special funds to encourage traditional workshops to transform into handicraft workshops. With massive orders, the scale of Jingxian's oil cloth industry has expanded by a hundred times in just a few years, becoming a pillar industry for the whole county. Jingxian is about to transform from an inconspicuous poor county in the mountainous area to a well-known wealthy county in Jiangnan.

The example of Jing County taught a vivid lesson to the counties in Jiangnan, allowing them to understand what "Jiangnan Integration" means. It turns out that each county can find its own positioning, specialize in development, work hard, and be prosperous together under the unified allocation of Jiangnan Group!

The ideas of development companies in each county opened up immediately...

While the coast guards and soldiers and expatriates set up camp, Mr. Zhao also came to the beach.

Before he could finish building the wooden trestle, he jumped directly from the landing boat into the knee-deep sea water.

The senior police officers who were accompanying him quickly followed suit, jumped out of the boat, surrounded the commander-in-chief and wade towards the beach.

‘Luzon, I’m here!’

Zhao Hao wore a soft-topped police cap and a pair of sunglasses on his nose. He felt the land of Luzon with his feet. He looked around and felt like Caesar possession in his heart.

But I was a little regretful, but unfortunately I hadn't developed photography skills yet, so I couldn't leave a photo of the past like MacArthur.

He could also smell the strong smell of blood and the lingering smell of rottenness at his nose, which was the smell of the stream blowing from the east wind.

"Tomorrow, we will organize people to use sanitation lime to disinfect the entire stream." Jin Kezha said immediately in Zhao Hao's ear.

"Be careful." Mr. Zhao nodded and took off his sunglasses because he saw two guys with arms hanging on him, leading Liu Xuesheng and other groups of overseas Chinese leaders, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master!" As soon as they saw Zhao Hao, the two of them saluted quickly. Baolu Tang then led the overseas Chinese and said, "This is our young master."

Zhao Hao is now a father and looks much more mature. Although the first time I saw him, I would still be surprised at his youth, but I would no longer worry about whether he was reliable or not as reliable as before.

"We are waiting for the sinners from overseas to see the young master!" The overseas Chinese leaders knelt down and cried in tears: "Young Master is willing to take a risk for the bad lives of us despicable people and come to help thousands of miles away. We are more kind to us than the sky, and we cannot repay you!"

"The most important thing to do when you come out is loyalty!" Even the arrogant man like Gao Erye said with red eyes: "Young master is righteous and unrestrained. From now on, we are the only one who is the leader of the young master! If there is something that is sorry for the young master, the sky thunder will shatter us!"

"Hey, please get up quickly." Zhao Hao supported Liu Xuesheng with one hand and Gao Erye with the other, and helped the two of them up. He said emotionally: "I am ashamed, we are still late. I heard that more than 3,000 overseas Chinese died in the past ten days, and even President Chen was seriously injured?"

"Oh, it's such a sin..." The overseas Chinese leaders were so sad that they couldn't help but burst into tears. Which of them had no children and nephews and were killed in this tragedy of China? Some even their brothers and nephews were dead, leaving only themselves alone. How can they not be sad?

"If Director Tang and Ximen Daren and others had not stepped forward and led us to defend ourselves, I am afraid that 30,000 people would have to explain to this island..." Liu Xuesheng said in tears.

"The main thing is the red-haired ghost! If their artillery was not too powerful, we would have defeated Fanzi many times, and so many people would not have died!" The overseas Chinese leaders gritted their teeth and said:

"The red-haired ghosts are so vicious. They are all making trouble behind the scenes. They not only fired fire but also used secret moves. Later, when they saw that we were not fooled, they simply ended up directly, which killed many of us!"

"Actually, it was okay to throw the javelin before, but it was the last hand-to-hand battle, and the expatriates suffered a great loss." Ximen Qing sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for too long, and the people will no longer use force. They hold swords and axes in their hands and chop them up with their eyes closed. They are not opponents of those Fanzi who are used to killing people? Without a long time of fighting, the casualties and injuries will come up.

"Yes, fortunately, the reinforcements arrived and Fanzi collapsed, otherwise it would be annihilated..." The overseas Chinese leaders looked scared, and this time they saved their lives.
