Da Ming started to ascend the throne

But the loyalty of serving the country is even more precious, and they will all be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty in opening up the territory.

Without them fighting for the country, Ming Dynasty might not exist now, so don't criticize them behind their backs. "

Zhu Youjian knew that even if the soldiers were not rewarded, they would still serve the country loyally. Of course, it would be better to have money.

But they didn't all fight for money. If Cao Zhengchun's words were heard by the soldiers, it would dampen their enthusiasm.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not good-looking, Cao Zhengchun knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Your Majesty is wise, I am stupid, I will not say such things again in the future."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Cao Zhengchun, are the Fanzi and Jin Yiwei that I asked you and Qinglong to send out to be in place now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei are already in place, and they will quietly send the things to the place according to the instructions of the Holy One."

Zhu Youjian was still very assured of Cao Zhengchun's ability to handle affairs, he nodded and said:

"Pass down my oral order to let Zheng Chenggong send warships to send rewards to the soldiers to Huangming Island and Ceylon, and distribute them to the remaining soldiers."

"According to the purpose"

Manila Governor's Palace.

The newly appointed Spanish governor in Manila, Coquera, is discussing the situation around Manila with some resident generals.

At this time, he had not received news that Malacca, Ceylon, and Batavia were occupied by the Ming army.

The former governor, Salvador, was worried that he would not be able to leave. For his own sake, he did not tell Coquera the information he had received.

The Manila Navy Captain and Navy Commander thought he knew, and did not tell him this situation after he took office.

Today they received a report from their subordinates that three Spanish merchant ships were detained by the section of the Strait of Malacca controlled by Daming.

"Your Excellency, in the past when our merchant ships passed through the Strait of Malacca, the Dutch charged us relatively low fees.

After Ming took control of the Straits of Malacca, they raised their charges to the west.

Because the Spanish merchant ships refused to pay the fee to Daming, three merchant ships have already been detained by them.

Your Excellency, please find a way to let them let our merchant ships transit. "

Coquella was confused by the captain's statement, he didn't understand what it meant, and asked hastily:

"Colonel Leiden, what are you talking about? Why do we have to pay to Daming when we pass through Malacca? It's simply unreasonable..."

It turns out that Malacca was also controlled by Spain, even the Portuguese.

But after the strong rise of the Netherlands, they took control of Malacca from the Portuguese and the Spaniards.

In order to balance the interests of the three parties, the Dutch finally made some concessions, only charging a small part of the tolls between their two countries.

Seeing that the new governor seems to be unfamiliar with the situation in Malacca, the commander of the Spanish navy is also a little confused.Mobile terminal m.tv./

"Master Governor, didn't the previous Governor tell you about the situation here? Batavia, controlled by the Netherlands, has been occupied by the Ming army. They replaced the Netherlands to collect tolls in the Strait of Malacca."

"What? That's impossible, right? The Netherlands is in full swing now. How can there be a navy to compete with them in the Ming Dynasty? Is your intelligence wrong?"

When Navy Admiral Raiden mentioned the Straits of Malacca, Coquila still did not believe that Batavia was under the control of the Ming army.

At that time, the intelligence was not as developed as it is now, and they could not obtain the wars in thousands of miles of seas in time.

When Leiden saw the governor's bewildered look, he was even more sure that Salvador hadn't told Coquera the truth.

What caused the problem in the handover of the two governors, Leiden didn't know.

He was just about to ask what happened, when suddenly a soldier ran into the governor's mansion in a panic.

"Report to the governor, the Ming army has attacked in two directions, and has now captured Malacca and Ceylon..."

Chapter 552 The Wolf's Ambition

The soldier's report immediately changed the faces of the three giants in Manila.

Standing up suddenly, he looked at the soldier who reported the message in disbelief.

If it is true that Ceylon and Malacca were taken by Ming, then the entire Strait of Malacca has been actually controlled by Ming.

In other words, except for Luzon, the Malay Peninsula became the territory of Ming Dynasty, and several small countries nearby also fell into the arms of Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was a gigantic entity, far from being comparable to several small western countries.

Once Daming really entered the ocean, their next step would definitely be to attack Luzon.

Regarding this point, the three giants of Spain are very clear in their hearts, and Coqueira still doesn't quite believe in Ming's strength.

He grabbed the soldier's collar and almost lifted the soldier up:

"Quickly tell me, is your information accurate? How could the Ming Dynasty have such a strong navy?"

The soldier's face turned red, he patted Coquella's big hand and said with difficulty:

"Governor... my lord, let go first, I'm almost suffocating."

After being reminded by the soldiers, Coquila realized his gaffe, and hurriedly let go to report to the soldiers.

The soldier opened his mouth and took two deep breaths of air before saying:

"Your Excellency, today's Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is no longer the Ming Dynasty that was torn apart by internal and external troubles.

The army of bandits who revolted everywhere in the country has been put down, and the powerful Houjin regime has also been destroyed by them.

Macao occupied by the Portuguese and Taiwan occupied by the Dutch were also recovered one by one by them.

The navy is unprecedentedly strong, with a population of more than 20, and the army is close to one million.

In terms of firearms, they are not inferior to our western countries at all, and even more advanced than us..."

The soldier told the new governor of Luzon, Kequela, everything he knew about Daming in one breath.

Both the army captain and the navy commander nodded frequently, and they also had some understanding of this.

"Asshole, you are lying, a big lie, I don't believe it."

But Coquila didn't believe it at all. He thought that these people were greedy for life and afraid of death, and dared not fight the lies they deliberately fabricated.

Based on his understanding of Ming Dynasty, apart from the fact that the Ming Dynasty had more people, its firearms could not be compared with their Western counterparts at all.
