The remaining Akito wealth is a drop in the bucket compared to the Akito wealth before the massacre. How could Diego care?
So West followed Ferdinandi away, and soon a large number of natives followed a group of Dutchmen out of the city.
…………
At the sharp corner of Manila Bay, a Ming army soldier who was watching from a high place suddenly shouted: "Brother Liu, there are ships coming, about eight ships..."
When Liu Fugen heard this, he felt happy and immediately asked: "What ship is it? Is it our lucky ship?"
"No, it's a sailing ship, and there are five transport ships in it!" the Ming army soldier replied, "coming towards us."
After hearing this, Liu Fugen immediately climbed up to a higher place and at the same time ordered the people below: "Be careful!"
A young man at the bottom, Wang Afu, sounded a little worried and asked: "Brother Liu, are they reinforcements from the Spanish? If they come towards us, will they notice us?"
After being together for these days, Wang Afu had become familiar with Liu Fugen, and he also called him "Brother Liu" like other soldiers. In the past few days, many natives have been killed. Originally, he had thought about moving somewhere, but Liu Fugen said that the emperor asked him to stay here, and he could not leave here unless he had to.
Hearing the noise at this time, Wang Afu immediately thought of whether Spanish reinforcements were coming, or maybe the Spanish discovered this place and were coming to attack it?
Liu Fugen did not answer immediately. After climbing to a high place and climbing one of the trees, under the signal of the subordinate, he saw eight ships on the sea coming this way, three sail warships, five transport ship. Faintly, I could see the flag hanging on the sailing battleship, which seemed to be... the Spanish flag.
Seeing this, he immediately ordered: "Go back to the camp and send the order for them to pack up and prepare to move."
As a last resort, the only option is to relocate.
However, after the order was issued, when he looked up again, his eyes widened and he stared straight at the ships.
I saw three more red, yellow and blue ribbons hung on the leading sail warship. They were blown by the sea breeze and fluttered in the wind, which was very eye-catching.
Suddenly, Liu Fugen became excited, jumped off his uncle, and shouted excitedly: "Quick...quick..."
Wang Afu was about to return to the camp to report the news. When he heard him say "quickly", he was frightened and ran away immediately. At the same time, he said anxiously: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will inform them to move immediately!"
His words made Liu Fugen stunned for a moment, but then he came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "What are you moving away from? Stop!"
His words were like an imperial edict to Wang Afu. He immediately stopped suddenly and asked in confusion: "Brother Liu, what's wrong?"
When asking questions, he found that Liu Fugen's face was full of surprise, and he was immediately confused again. Why is Brother Liu still so happy?
Liu Fugen didn't care what he thought, he immediately rushed to him and said to him: "Take me a shortcut to the docking point on the beach immediately. That is our ship!"
"Our ship?" After hearing this, Wang Afu repeated doubtfully and immediately came to his senses. Then he asked happily: "Is the imperial army coming?"
Liu Fugen listened and nodded vigorously.
The instructions he received before departure stated that the person wearing the red, yellow and blue belt was the imperial navy.
To be honest, although Liu Fugen acted confident about the wood carving in front of others, he held it in his arms every day and looked at it every day, but he couldn't see anything special about it.
He has been here for many days and there has been no news from the imperial army. This makes him a little worried. Will the emperor receive the news he reported? Can the imperial army arrive in time and successfully?
Before seeing the imperial army arrive, Liu Fugen had been worried about this. Therefore, when he suddenly saw the imperial fleet sending out the agreed signal, he was very excited.
When Wang Afu got his confirmation and knew that it was the imperial warship coming, he was also overjoyed. Without saying a word, he took a shortcut to the seaside with Liu Fugen and others.
The people of the Ming Dynasty who were lucky enough to survive are most familiar with the hydrology and terrain here. It didn't take long for them to reach a place on the seaside suitable for boats to dock.
Liu Fugen immediately jumped onto a huge stone on the shore, took out a ball of cloth from his arms, unfolded it, and saw that it was black and white. He casually took a spear from his men, tied up the black and white striped cloth, and then waved it vigorously towards the ships in the distance.
Soon, the ships adjusted their direction and sailed straight towards Liu Fugen's location.
Seeing this scene, everyone around them knew that they were in contact with each other. Although the sailing battleship was flying the Spanish flag, there was no doubt that it definitely belonged to the imperial court.
Wang Afu had never seen the imperial army before. As the ships slowly approached, he opened his eyes wide and wanted to take a closer look. What were the imperial officers and soldiers like?
However, after he could see clearly, he became a little confused and immediately asked Liu Fugen: "Brother Liu, that's not right. Why are there still Xiyi among the imperial officers and soldiers? It's not a mistake, right?"
Upon hearing his words, the Ming army officers and soldiers all laughed. Liu Fugen smiled and said to him: "That must be Fo Langji, who is in the same group as our Ming Dynasty and listens to our Ming Dynasty."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a lot of people on the deck of the nearest sailing warship, surrounded by a general at the head. Suddenly, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Hey, why is the commander here in person? "
The deputy general is commonly known as the deputy commander-in-chief. If it is not taken seriously, he is usually called the commander-in-chief. Of course, if these titles are strictly followed, then the commander-in-chief can only be called the commander-in-chief.
Upon hearing this, the other officers and soldiers of the Ming Army also looked over, and they recognized that the general was their former young master, the current Vice Admiral of the Southern Navy of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong.
Although there are only eight ships seen now, Zheng Chenggong is here, which means that the imperial army will definitely arrive soon.
With this conclusion, the Ming soldiers including Wang Afu were extremely excited.
After about a quarter of an hour, the transport ship approached the shore, and groups of Ming army soldiers came out of the cabin and quickly landed. Wang Afu was leading the way at the front and said excitedly: "Master, go this way, Master, go this way..."
They are all in standard military uniforms, with rows of flintlocks, spears, swords, shields, etc. Under the constraints of military discipline, although they cannot be said to be uniform, they are almost the same.
Although the officers and soldiers of this Ming army were not as elite as the officers and soldiers of the three major battalions under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Camp or the Royal Horse Supervisor, they had also experienced the Annan War. It was someone who had seen blood, and was different from ordinary government officials and guardsmen. Wang Afu immediately felt that this was indeed the king's division, an elite division of the imperial court!
He was naturally leading the way to the camp very energetically.
On the beach, Zheng Chenggong asked Liu Fugen, who came up to see him, to excuse himself, and then began to check the news he heard from the emperor. This news was actually the information Liu Fugen reported to the wooden microphone. During the verification process, Liu Fugen naturally had no doubts anymore. At the same time, some details have been updated.
By the time Zheng Chenggong understood it, almost all the Ming soldiers on the transport ship had landed.
After scanning the forest and the shore, Zheng Chenggong finally turned around and said to Anders, the Portuguese leader who was accompanying him: "Please tell me, sir, that everything will go according to plan!"
Anders saw with his own eyes that there were people here to support the Ming army, so he naturally knew that Lu Xiangsheng's previous deployment should be no problem. Haha, he was able to deal with the Spaniard again. He didn't feel too happy. He immediately imitated the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, clasped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely bring the message to you!"
About half an hour later, Zheng Chenggong arrived at the camp in the forest. At this time, the place was already full of people, and the camp could not be crowded. Outside the camp, the soldiers of the Ming Army had also started to clear the open space.
This time he brought 3,000 soldiers, and their main task was to wait for the naval battle to begin, and then sneak attack Manila from the land side, led by the surviving Ming people.
At this time, when they saw him arriving, all the men, women, children and other people in the camp were waiting at the door to greet him. The person leading the way was Wang Afu's second grandfather, who burst into tears without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong stepped forward to help him up, and said to him with a serious face: "Don't be sad, old man, the emperor has issued an order to kill all the Spaniards, and those natives who helped the evildoers to avenge your murdered relatives!"
Wang Afu's second grandfather did not dare to let Zheng Chenggong support him. He quickly stood up and wiped his tears while saying: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know that the common people escaped two massacres by the Spaniards. At that time, the common people were really crying every day. The land and earth are not working! I didn’t expect that this time, the royal master of the imperial court would really come to Luzon to make decisions for us! The grassroots people...the grassroots people are crying with joy!"
Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but froze. He didn't expect that the old man's reply would be like this!
When he came back to his senses, he already understood the feelings of these surviving Akito, as if they were children without a father and a mother before, and suddenly they had a mother and father again!
Thinking like this, Zheng Chenggong decided in his heart that this time, he must seek justice for these overseas celebrities.
Just then he thought about it, and saw Liu Fugen hurriedly ran over to report: "Commander, I found some natives and red barbarians coming over, it seems they want to take over the camp here!"
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he frowned and immediately asked, "How many people are here?"
"There are about three hundred natives, and there are about two hundred red barbarians."
After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but sneer on his face and said, "Well done!"
