Under the clear sky, the wolf smoke was very obvious, and the vague sound of shelling fire caused the Manila Governor's House to be in chaos!

"Everyone, wait, take your seat immediately, all warships, immediately! Potiro! Where is Potiro?" Koquila rushed in the Governor's Mansion, muttering orders.

"His Excellency Potiro has already boarded the ship!"

"Yeah, very good..."

...

More than ten minutes later, Coquera boarded the flagship Sandeoger. When he heard Potiro shouting loudly on the deck, Coquera was very satisfied and asked anxiously: "What's the situation? Who is the enemy?"

While cursing, Potiro replied: "I dare to bet on the reputation of God that the enemy must be a madman! It must be a madman! According to Langyan, there are only five warships...Bontai Banner, where is the barbarian! Oh, my God, forgive these madmen..."

When Koquera heard this, she stopped immediately and turned around and asked, "Are you sure it is Bontai? Five warships?"

As if insulted, Potiro swears loudly: "My God, lying will go to hell!"

Koquera fell into silence. Are the five warships just bait? There are large-scale ambushing warships behind them?

No, the warship in Lin Chunhong’s dock will take two months to get into the water, so it is impossible for him to run to Manila so quickly!

"Prudent! Be cautious!" Koquila kept reminding herself.

"I dare to guarantee that the enemy must have wanted to use five warships to lure us out of the bay to fight! Maybe, there will be a large number of support fleets behind it!"

Potiro frowned and reminded.

These words made Koquera even more hesitant, well, be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship!

"Potiro, immediately send two speedboats out of the bay to inquire. All fleets immediately go to the vicinity of Correcido Island to look for fighter planes! Be careful, do not go out of the bay at will when the enemy is unknown!"

"Yes! Governor!"

...

On the side of the Kado Island, five warships set up an arc with Kado Island as the center, aiming at the island's turrets. The island's turrets were not polite, and they tried to fight back against the fleet's attack.

However, the distance between the warships from Kado Island was really far away. More than two miles, the shells flew over, and the hit rate was extremely low, and the losses of both sides were minimal.

The Bangtai fleet and the shore turret seem to be setting off fireworks, to see who has a larger smoke screen and who has shot more shells. In this fireworks competition, the winner is of course the Dingyuan ship.

When the Dingyuan ship fired a salvo, the ship suddenly shook, and more than 40 fire balls suddenly appeared. Then there was a smoke screen in the sky, covering the Dingyuan ship in the fairyland. More than 40 huge iron balls flew from the fairyland and smashed towards the island of Jiaduo.

No one cares whether the iron ball hit the fort, or overturned the thousand-year-old tree, or knocked down a goat.

The shelling continued, and Liang Feng seemed to have lost interest in Jiaduo Island and just watched the surrounding waters with a telescope.

"Two speedboats! One south and one north, trying to bypass us..."

On the lookout platform, the lookout hand shouted loudly, which caused Liang Feng to point the telescope at the speedboat.

"Where is the Manila fleet? What is the purpose of sending two speedboats?"

Liang Feng was puzzled and the telescope kept moving with the speedboat.

The speedboat quickly crossed the fleet and rowed desperately towards the sea, at an astonishing speed.

Liang Feng flashed his inspiration, and it turned out that the Spaniards were worried that we would have a follow-up fleet, and this was a whistle ship!

Liang Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Hurry, hurry, turn the rudder, chase at five o'clock! Put down the two centipedes and must capture the Spaniards on the speedboat!"

The Dingyuan ship immediately stopped the shelling, put down the centipede ship, and turned to chase the speedboats to the north. The other four warships followed the Dingyuan ship, each of them lowered a centipede ship and began to turn.

The warship drew a big arc, the sails bulged the wind, followed the centipede ship and chased them separately.

The Centipede Ship carried on the Dingyuan ship was the sea anti-smuggling ship of Xiao-1. It not only had sails, but also forty oarsmen, and was significantly faster than the Spanish speedboats. Soon, after a fierce string fighting, more than half of the sailors on the two speedboats were killed or injured, and the remaining half were captured, a total of sixteen Spanish, three natives, and one Japanese.

Liang Feng was satisfied and ordered the fleet to return to sail.

When Koquera led more than 20 warships to the vicinity of Khado Island, he found that the shelling had stopped for a long time. After capturing the speedboat, the Bontai fleet left.

Coquila was completely messy. What kind of fucking battle did he fight?

Across 108,000 miles, thousands of shells were laid, then captured the speedboat, and ran away? Could it be that Lin Chunhong ordered thousands of people to run to the vicinity of Manila to catch a few people?

"Pagans! It's true that they are pagans! God, punish them, their ideas are so strange..."

Koquela murmured and prayed, then, his anger was uncontrollable and he shouted wildly: "Chase! Chase me! Pay me your blood debt and pay my blood!"

Coquela felt ashamed again, and unexpectedly sailboats easily captured his subordinates. This is a shame! If he cannot avenge his shame, he will suffer for the rest of his life!

However, at the turn of autumn and winter, northwest winds prevailed on the sea, and the Spanish warships with soft sails could not catch up with the Bangtai fleet. The warships under Bangtai have all been modified, fully combining the advantages of Chinese and Western sailing ships. When they are heading against the wind, they are far more flexible than Spanish warships.

Apart from sighing, Koquela could only swear angrily that he would teach Lin Chunhong a bloody lesson...

※※※

On September 22, Guangzhou City was completely in a state of madness!

The streets paved with bluestone were filled with people. Citizens stretched their necks and looked at the end of the street, looking forward to the arrival of twenty prison vans as soon as possible, and then threw the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs onto the prison van to vent their long-suppressed anger.

What's more, I booked a seat in the teahouse facing the street early in the morning, tasted the hot tea soup, and quietly waited for the prison cart to parade in the street.

In the crowd, there were endless discussions, quarrels, beatings and scoldings, and sometimes someone shouted: "Ah... I lost my wallet, which dog girl raised me and stole my wallet!"

More about the debate:

"The Ming fleet is mighty and five warships have not yet killed one person, and twenty red barbarians have been captured!"

"It's not just capturing the red barbarians, but also killing twenty-three red barbarians!"

"How did Lin Junmen do this? Could it be that Hongyi stretched his neck and waited for the Junmen?"

"What? Are you ignorant? I heard that the shells flying all over the sky cost tens of thousands of pounds, and so many prisoners were caught just now! It is said that countless red barbarians were killed!"

"Well, it seems that Lin Junmen announced that he would attack Manila is really..."

...

The citizens' carnival cannot affect experts at all. On the elegant building on the second floor of Siming Tea House, Zheng Zhilong's secret stake was whispering: "Five warships? Do you dare to run to Manila? Do you think it's a bold or an ignorant fearless?"

"I guess neither is it. Lin Xiaosan was plotted against by the general and had to send troops to Manila. He worked hard to get money, and wasn't it just to let the maritime merchants pay military expenses obediently?"

"Yes! I guess Liang Feng didn't even get close to Manila. He just had a good chance and caught a few prisoners. Manila had a tight defense and the five warships could not get close to him no matter what!"

"Well, we have to report to the Grandmaster immediately..."

...

The purpose of seeing through the prisoners' parades is not just Zheng Zhilong's secret stakes. Most maritime merchants can see that Liang Feng just happened to catch a few prisoners near Manila. However, the maritime merchants have very different perspectives from Zheng Zhilong's subordinates. What they see is Lin Chunhong's determination to expel the Spaniards!

As long as you have this determination, people can see hope. After all, the three giant warships in the dock will be launched soon, and the strength comparison between the enemy and us will soon undergo fundamental changes!

Just as everyone was thinking about it, thunderous cheers suddenly came from the streets. The prison car had arrived slowly, and the parade was at the high throne. The prison car was almost full of blond hair and blue eyes. The blond head was stretched over the prison car, looking haggard, and his eyes almost lost their luster. Their bodies were kneeling in the prison car, unable to sit down or collapse, and they were in great pain.

The crowd also found three black and thin men and a short-legged tiger followed closely behind. The black and thin men looked like monkeys and almost fell off the prison car. The short-legged tiger seemed to enjoy the journey very much, with a smile on his face and nodded constantly to signal to the audience. As a result, he attracted the most firepower, causing the car to flow with juice and smelly smell.

"Beheaded and displayed...beheaded and displayed..."

The fanatical shouts were rising and falling, and the onlookers seemed to be dissatisfied with the parade and expected to appreciate the grand occasion of twenty people beheading their heads at the same time.

These fanatical calls did not affect the propagandists next to the prison car. He still beated the gong and said in a loud voice: "...The warriors fought bravely to fight the enemy and finally won a great victory, declaring that the Nanyang was the Ming Dynasty and the South Ocean was definitely not empty talk... The military gate built a large warship, and it only took more than a month to build three giant warships. The coast of Guangdong was as solid as a soup, and the Western Red Barbarians fled... Two days later, the prisoners of war will escort the capital, offer prisoners to the emperor, and announce to the world the determination of Guangdong elders to fight against the Red Barbarians..."

To be taken to the capital? The propagandist's words aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the onlookers, and were besieged by rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, causing the parade to finally cancel the project of howling loudly.

On the second floor of Siming Tea House, Zheng Mengfan suddenly showed his head, looking at the prison car slowly moving forward, and a smile appeared on his face that was not easy to detect.

Gambling! Yes, this is gambling! If you succeed, the Zheng family will always be the ox-ear of the sea merchants. If you lose, you will lose some money!

The benefits far outweigh the risks, so I did it!

Finally, when the prison cart left, Zheng Mengfan took his entourage to the general camp.
Chapter completed!
