Lin Chunhong arrived three days earlier than Li Siming's expected time. Zhao Hehai's Great White Shark Fleet was also with him...

The first person to learn the news was naturally Liang Feng, the Admiral of the Navy Fleet.

After Lin Chunhong boarded the Dingyuan ship, he learned that the Spanish envoy was negotiating with Di Wei. Lin Chunhong estimated that Koquila was likely to threaten Di Wei with the safety of the Han people in the city. He immediately ordered Di Wei to stabilize the Spanish first.

After Di Wei, Jiang Yiqin and Li Siming boarded the Dingyuan ship, Lin Chunhong held the first meeting after arriving in Manila.

Lin Chunhong ranked first, with General Zhongwu of the Navy, Zhao Hehai, Liang Feng, and General Zhongwu of the Army, Di Wei, followed closely, General Xuanwei of Li Siming, Song Shutao, and Jiang Yiqin ranked last, cramming the narrow command room and almost unable to take a seat.

Lin Chunhong looked at these powerful players on the sea and land, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I thought it would take at least more than a month to capture Luzon Island this time. Fortunately, thanks to your efforts, I have gained an absolute advantage early. Thank you all for your hard work."

"It's all the contributions of the general and Governor Zhang's plan, and my subordinates dare not take credit for it..." These powerful generals were in a very good mood, and they said in a mess.

Lin Chunhong pressed down with his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Everyone doesn't have to be modest. The landing battle on Dogtou Island and the naval battle outside Manila are remarkable and enough to be a legendary story. Later generations will always remember your contributions!"

Liang Feng was a little ashamed and stood up and said, "General, his subordinates did not comply with the general's military orders and fought a decisive battle with the Three Kingdoms Alliance fleet in advance without authorization, almost destroying the entire fleet. Please punish the general."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Admiral Liang must not blame himself. The battlefield changes rapidly. Admiral Liang has the right to make decisions on the spot and has no fault.

Admiral Liang severely damaged the Dutch and Portuguese fleets this time. I guess they will hide as far as they see us in the future. From this point of view, Admiral Liang has made great contributions!”

"Besides, judging from the report of General Manager Song, even without Martino's retreat order, the fleet would not have defeated the war."

Liang Feng lowered his head and said in a sad tone: "In this battle, more than 4,000 elite sailors died in the sea, this loss..."

Lin Chunhong waved his hand to interrupt Liang Feng, looked at Zhao Hehai, and said to Liang Feng: "The great white shark is already overcrowded, and I think it's time to move out a part of it. I'll make up for the number of people Admiral Liang needs. Sit down and don't blame yourself."

Liang Feng nodded and sat down slowly.

Lin Chunhong continued: "The war is coming to an end, and the most important thing at present is to deal with the Spaniards in Manila. In the 31st year of Wanli, more than 20,000 Han people were massacred by Spain..."

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong paused and looked at Li Siming involuntarily. Li Siming bit his lips tightly, and his whole body was trembling constantly.

"This time, we have to pay attention to avenge and never learn from Mr. Dongguo. The most basic bottom line of dealing with the Spaniards is that those who have participated in the massacre of the 31st year of Wanli will be beheaded! Those who have not participated will be sent to Jinpu or dried fish workshops as slaves. As for how long they will be slaves, Li Siming, you go and talk to the Spaniards..."

Li Siming was shocked and said in shock: "General, I'm worried that my emotions will be bad."

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "On the basis of trying his best to protect the lives of Han people in the city, no matter how you talk, it doesn't matter. Even if you cut off all the Spanish, I won't say a word!"

Li Siming nodded gratefully and said, "There is the place where General Lu Shiyuan needs these free laborers. Don't worry, General, I won't be impulsive..."

Lin Chunhong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Disposing the Spaniards is just a aftermath. Our most important task is to focus on the future, completely control Luzon and turn Luzon into the most stable forward base for Bangtai. The first priority at present is to establish Luzon's defense."

Lin Chunhong pointed at Jiang Yiqin and said, "Command by Chiang, it depends on you to form the Luzon Legion. The Luzon Legion will be based on the Dragon Guard Army and will be temporarily formed according to the scale of three naval army forces. After completion, the Luzon Legion will be officially called the Dragon Guard Army... From now on, the defense of Luzon Island will depend on the Dragon Guard Army..."

Jiang Yiqin's mouth was so open that he could stuff a goose egg. He quickly stood up and said in panic: "General, please think twice. Commander Di is more profound than his subordinates and is more familiar with the water and land warfare techniques than his subordinates. Why not hand over this important task to Commander Di?"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Commander Jiang must not belittle himself. I will let Commander Di transfer some officers who are proficient in water and land tactics from the Dragon and Tiger Army to you. Pay attention, the Marine Army has always regarded attack as its top priority, and defense is not its characteristic. Commander Jiang understands what I mean?"

As soon as these words were finished, the eyes of the generals shone with a longing light. They all understood Lin Chunhong's meaning, nothing more than the Dutch who were preparing to attack Batavia or the Portuguese in Malacca.

"As for Commander Di, I have another important task to him..."

Speaking of this, all the generals showed their intention to inquire and wanted to know where Di Weilu was. Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Recently, the Dragon and Tiger Army will return to Guangzhou and begin to form the Dragon and Tiger Legion. The Dragon and Tiger Legion, like the Dragon Guard Legion, is naturally the first priority, and as for the target..."

Lin Chunhong pointed to the Jinzhou Guard (now Dalian) on the map and said coldly: "Liaodong is a treasure land, how can the Jurchens always be occupied? After the Dragon and Tiger Legion is formed, the first battle should be here!"

The generals were even more eager to look at Di Wei with envious eyes. You know, there have been rumors in the Ming army that "the Jurchens are invincible". The soldiers of Jingzhou Army were quite dissatisfied and were eager to fight with the Jurchens. Now that Di Wei has won the lead, how can we not make these men envious?

Di Wei was so excited that he almost couldn't speak. After a long time, he performed a grand military salute and replied: "I will definitely live up to my mission!"

Lin Chunhong looked at Di Wei and Jiang Yiqin, and then said: "You two, plan a military expansion plan first. It is better not to be late to remember this matter!"

"No!" Di Wei and Jiang Yiqin knelt on the ground at the same time and saluted.

Lin Chunhong continued: "Admiral Liang, from now on, the maritime defense of Luzon will rely on the naval fleet. As for Manila, we have to start building a naval base and we don't have to leave too much military force on weekdays."

"This..." Liang Feng, Li Siming, and Song Shutao looked at each other in surprise and said in surprise: "What should I do if the Netherlands or Portugal attacks?"

Before Lin Chunhong could speak, Zhao Hehai laughed and said, "General, the fleet is not used to rob the robbery. The only purpose is to scare people! As long as the naval fleet can regain Manila at any time, how dare those turtle grandsons have a strange intention?"

This made Lin Chunhong laugh: "Zhao Hehai said it to the point. You all remember that the naval fleet is used to expand territory. The first responsibility is to attack, attack, and then attack. If one day it falls into defense, it will not be called the naval fleet! Do you understand?"
