.,
This is what Alfonso is concerned with.
Since Daming is ready for war, why... why did he send an envoy?
This obviously doesn't make sense.
Of course, he quickly got the answer!
Xu Pengju, who was in a state of distress, said dying, "Because...because...they need to find a suitable landing place, and then...then attack. The waters of Luzon are too complicated. I'm afraid...the army will land and be in trouble, so...that's why I was ordered to go to Luzon first to detect useful hydrogeographical information."
After hearing this, Alfonso's body trembled, and his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a gleam of light.
In this way, it seems very reasonable.
Seeing Xu Pengju's mental breakdown, he seemed unconscious even when he answered.
Alfonso firmly believed that Xu Pengju had a complete mental breakdown at this moment.
In this case, the credibility of what is said is extremely high.
But, speaking of it this way...not only did they contact the local natives, but they were also ready to attack at any time.
The Ming Fleet should not be underestimated. Maybe the Spanish Armada can fight with it, but it does not mean that the Spanish ships stationed in Luzon can compete with it.
Therefore, Alfonso realized that what he was facing was an extremely embarrassing problem. Even if he knew the opponent's conspiracy now, so what, their fleet and recruited soldiers were already staring at each other, sharpening their knives. After finding out the news, they finally landed and fought.
At this time, it is too late to ask for help from Spain, which is thousands of miles away, just like the Northern Province, which cannot ask Daming for help.
In this short moment, many thoughts flashed through Alfonso's mind, his face was more serious than before, and then he said unquestionably to the soldiers beside him: "Give him the treatment of a prisoner, heal his wounds .”
This person...is still useful.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Luzon Governor's residence began to fall into one secret discussion after another.
Many military officers, as well as local big merchants, came and went here one after another.
Two days later, a group of native soldiers were suddenly disarmed.
Immediately, the Spaniards began to treat them cruelly, and all the leaders were hanged.
As for the other native soldiers who were at a loss, they were also reorganized.
However, their leader, who was originally a relatively authoritative figure in the local area, was suddenly hanged. Even if they were reorganized, it would be difficult to convince the crowd. Many natives began to flee in fear, and mutiny also occurred from time to time.
On the other hand, the Spaniards stationed in various places began to march towards the fort on the south bank of the Pasig River in Manila.
A large amount of supplies began to be hoarded.
It didn't take long for this group of well-trained Spaniards, as well as armed men led by Spanish merchants and manor owners, to gather here.
The governor's office has read out the order to prepare for war.
Today, there is only a desperate battle.
Located on the south bank of the Bashi River in Manila, this was the landing point of the Spaniards. After the Spaniards landed here, they began to build forts continuously. After that, as the Spanish rule deepened, there were more and more forts and city walls. It has also become stronger and stronger, and it has become the location of the Governor's Mansion, and a large number of soldiers and horses are also stationed.
And now, more than 10,000 Spanish elites, almost all the Spanish military forces in Manila, have assembled here.
After receiving the news he wanted to know, Alfonso treated Xu Pengju as a guest, not only ordered someone to treat his injuries, but even under house arrest, he still gave him good treatment.
Xu Pengju gradually recovered.
He seemed to be afraid of torture at this time, so he obeyed Afang Suo's advice.
According to the information he provided, the Ming army is ready to fight. As long as he obtains the information, he will send the details of the waters in this area back to Daming, agree on the location and time of the attack, and then raise the smoke on this day, then the Ming army will be ready. They will arrive in large numbers and carry out operations.
And Alfonso's plan is actually very simple.
As far as he is concerned, since this battle is inevitable, he simply gathers all his forces here, deploys heavy troops, and then uses his tactics to attract Ming's fleet to attack. After that, he lays out ambushes and traps here, and wipes out the Ming army on the beach in one fell swoop. above.
Alfonso and the officers made many plans.
Including is the trap on the beach.
It is even planned to use fire oil to arrange on the side of the castle.
Besides, they hoarded enough food for a long war.
The fort located on the south bank of the Bashi River can be temporarily camouflaged, and once the enemy ship approaches, it can attack.
He even organized a commando to intercept the Ming army when the opponent landed.
Of course, the most important thing is to strengthen the wall and clear the field. If the ambush fails, you can retreat to the fortress and trap these Ming troops to death.
This is almost a perfect plan, there are three alternatives, each of which can win.
Alfonso thought he was a genius.
In his view, since this battle is inevitable, he should use his own advantages to attack these fragile Ming troops.
If the Ming army landed and fought, with the size of the Ming army fleet, they could provide supplies to soldiers, at most no more than three to five thousand soldiers.
Next, prepared versus unprepared, you can completely defeat the opponent.
Of course, Alfonso is also a man of craftsman spirit.
In order to lure the enemy, he repeatedly considered the information sent by Xu Pengju.
Provide hydrological and geographical data, must be detailed. Otherwise, the other party may not dare to come.
It's even key...never give any wrong information.
Because...Since the Four Seas Trading Company has been active in the Luzon area, it means that they may have obtained part of the information, but the information is not complete. If there are frequent errors in the hydrological and geographical information, it will inevitably make the other party suspicious. Xu Pengju was already under his control.
When the detailed information on the south bank of the Pashi River in Manila was sent out in the name of Xu Pengju, the date agreed by the two parties began to get closer and closer.
This made Alfonso look forward to and excited.
Twenty thousand people are sharpening their knives here, as if they are waiting for something.
Everything... seems to be perfect.
Even if there is a mistake in the middle, he still has a plan.
More than half a month later.
According to the date agreed by Xu Pengju, the Spaniards began to burn the smoke near the castle. In order to prevent the Ming army from being able to detect the smoke, Alfonso gave a special order to add some ingredients to the smoke.
So, on this day, billowing thick smoke shot straight into the sky.
…………
On the surface of the sea, a fast ship was already frantically sailing towards the north, but the oncoming ones were hundreds of ships from the Ningbo Navy.
Aboard the flagship 'Little Zhu Xiucai is a bad guy'.
The news of the Clippers was quickly delivered to Hu Kaishan, deputy general of the Ningbo Navy.
Qi Jingtong, the former commander of the Ningbo navy, went to the northern province with Tang Yin and others, but he took away not many ships.
But now, Hu Kaishan, as the lieutenant general, is following the order of the town government to lead the navy out.
His figure is still burly, facing the sea breeze, like a rock.
At this moment, he was opening a bulletin with his head down, and after a look... With his extremely limited IQ, he was starting to feel a little confused at this moment.
Everything is as the Duke of Qi explained, and the other party will send information on hydrology and geography.
Even the distribution of the opponent's forts and forts will be sent roughly.
Of course, this shows that there is a confidant of the Duke of Qi in Luzon who has penetrated into the Spaniards, and it is no big deal to get this news.
The only thing that puzzled him was...
The other party agreed on a date with himself, and said that there would be smoke rising up, and this smoke was almost where the Spanish army and horses were arranged.
This...is really puzzling!
Who the hell is this spy, who has such a skill, can actually do it... Damn, he ran to the camp to set off smoke.
So broad daylight, under the eyes of everyone, this...
but……
who cares……
Hu Kaishan is a very direct person, with a big wave of his hand: "Flying team, attack!"
One order.
On several huge ships, the decks have been vacated.
Immediately afterwards, many soldiers of the flying team started to move.
They start to inflate the flying ball.
This flying ball has been improved many times, and it has become more and more suitable for complex environments.
The flying team under the jurisdiction of the Ningbo Navy does not have many flying balls, but only dozens of them. Their main training subject is flying combat on ships.
It's just... the wind and waves at sea are very strong, so it is extremely difficult to control, and you may deviate from your position at any time. It is easy to fly, but it is not easy to find the target. Someone thought of a way, the flying ball returned, landed directly on the sea near the fleet, fell into the water, and then the people on the ship were searching for the soldiers, but as for the flying ball... had to be discarded.
This flying team has gone through countless drills.
They basically calculated the target position with a compass based on the position of the wolf smoke.
Then the fuel was continuously checked and calculated. At the same time, when the balloons began to fill up, they began to load bombs under the huge rattan basket.
The bomb is the latest type of yellow powder. It is a huge copper ball outside and filled with a large amount of new type of gunpowder.
And such a big 'copper ball' weighs a full five hundred catties.
This is produced by His Royal Highness, manufactured by Xishan Research Institute.
It is said that when this gadget was manufactured, there was a great controversy in the research institute.
Because this thing is too cumbersome to be fired from a cannon at all, should it be placed here and blow yourself up?
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resisted all opinions, waved his hand, and shouted, I like this, so let it be!
Not only that, Zhu Houzhao also gave it a nice name.
It's called 'Lao Fang Comes Out to Watch the Sun'.
