It's time to fight!

The atmosphere of the storm is coming, and Guangzhou City feels the most obvious.

In just half a month, the Nanyang Guard purchased more than 20,000 stones of military food from around Guangcheng, and more than 50,000 stones from the Guangzhou government. There were also troops mobilized from various places to get more than 20,000 stones in Guangcheng.

Not to mention, Chen Mu first attacked the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi, followed by a large-scale mobilization of troops. Not only Lu Tong, but even Yu Dayou, who had just won the victory in Guangxi, was shocked.

No one is a fool. When the foreign barbarians invaded Lingdingyang a few days ago, the people could guess who Chen Shuai was going to attack.

The sand tables in the Chen House War Room have been piled up in the shape of Manila maps, but due to insufficient intelligence, there is no accurate accumulation of surrounding mountains. Fortunately, Manila is in the harbor, so they do not need to rush to the long distance after docking.

"But this is exactly the most dangerous place. The harbor is guarded by the north and south sides and the two islands in the middle. It is the first line of defense we need to break through, and we may encounter a large number of warships and gunboats stationed in the harbor." Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at Manila, saying: "In addition, Li Yuxi, a guild merchant who often travels to Luzon, said that there are many forts on the shore of Manila, and villages are set up along the way."

"There are three fleet-level Nanyang Guards in Guangdong with hundreds of small shark boats and hundreds of large and lucky boats. That's what I think, leave a fleet with Nanyang Guards with the Nanyang Guards to guard the Nanyang, Lingdingyang and the coastal areas of Guangdong. I want to ask Yu Shuai and Lu Shuai to take charge of this matter. I wonder if the two seniors?"

Yu Dayou and Lu Tong are among the few experts in the Ming Dynasty's naval battle, not to mention that no one in Lu Zhan can be better than Yu Dayou at this time. Since these two veteran generals are here, Chen Mu will never let them rest.

Lu Tong didn't say much, nodded and agreed.

He had never seen Chen Mu in the past, but he had been in great harmony for a long time. The Guangdong Martial Arts and Naval Academy was established by him with the letters sent by Chen Mu from Xuanfu. He was very curious about Chen Mu. Even if there were those textbooks, he had been in the process of resigning and teaching in the past to challenge Japanese devils. However, he could not understand any surveying and mapping, and other things were easy to understand.

Just like the Navy Department, it does not pay attention to fire fighting, jumping battle, and highly praised artillery battle. It is full of wealth and power. The key is where to find so many artillery guns. The big artillery blessing ship can carry four doors and burn the incense!

But when I went to Nanyang Guard, I saw that a ship carried ten large and small guns easily.

Although the tactics are heretical, they are useful.

It was Yu Dayou who laughed and said, "I have only been idle for a few days, and Chen Shuai found something for Yu. Don't worry, Yu will never let the Portuguese drag Chen Shuai down."

What Guangdong needs to guard against is not others, but the Portuguese and Japanese pirates.

"Thank you two seniors. You are here to stay. Guangdong can rest assured."

After Chen Mu said that, he pointed to the direction of Hong Kong Island: "The vanguard of soldiers, Chen wants to divide the troops into three groups. I will join the army, General Chen will lead the camp and General Bai will lead the Guangdong Guards."

This is when I clicked on the general, Chen Lin bowed and said, "Mr. Chen will live up to his trust!"

Bai Yuanjie clasped her fists and didn't say anything. He was thinking, where is his ship? There were three fleets in total, one in Guangdong, and Chen Lin led one. Chen Mu would never fly by himself, but Chen Mu didn't fly, so wouldn't he want him to fly over?

"General Chen led a fleet with two purposes. One is to land along the coast of the mountainous harbor in the western mountainous area of ​​Manila Bay, unload the baggage, and set up a dangerous place to set up a village to defend it. If there is an enemy, it will defeat it. Otherwise, it will run east to march towards Manila."

"Secondly, we must use fleets to protect the lucky ships and ships transporting baggage, sweep away all warships and merchant ships hanging on Spanish cross sails on the sea, ensure that the route is safe, and at the same time transport the subordinates of Commander Bai to arrive here."

Bai Yuanjie closed her eyes and said, "All right, the boats were all built by me, and fighting will make me escape the boat."

Chen Lin asked, "How far is this port from Manila?"

Chen Mu looked at Li Yuxi, the invader sitting upright on the edge, and said, "One hundred and eighty miles, but the place is remote. They are all local people, and there are very few Western barbarians."

"If this is one hundred and eighty miles, why not land on Manila? It is not difficult to walk along the coast on the sea." Chen Lin pointed to the shore east of Manila and said, "This seems to be only a hundred miles away."

Chen Mu smiled as soon as he saw it. He also wanted to land from there. This time, Li Yuxi didn't need to speak. He said, "Because there is no road, and there is a mountain and jungle in the middle. The variables are too big. It's better to walk 180 miles, at least there is a road, and there is only one, with guides familiar with the terrain, so you won't get lost."

"You don't have to hurry up, as long as you can be faster than the Spanish reinforcements coming from other places, you can do it."

As soon as Chen Mu said this, Bai Yuanjie and others changed their colors. What Chen Mu said meant was to take Manila alone!

"It's too risky. How can a fleet capture the city?"

The person who spoke was Chen Lin.

"Don't worry, if the city defense turret in Manila is too powerful, I will try my best to destroy the enemy's port ships and retreat to the north coast. As long as I retreat more than ten miles, their turrets will not hit me. If it really doesn't work, go north and wait for your large troops to join, but it's best to take Manila directly with one go."

"And don't underestimate my fleet. I have Chihai and Dogs. The Spanish ships are just Clark sailing ships like Big Black Ship. Most of them are smaller than Dogs and have less cannons than mine. Even if three big ships come over, they may not be able to beat my two ships."

When Chen Mu called out the name of the ship, Deng Zilong turned his head with his mouth and the joy of becoming the pioneer and leading the battle suddenly disappeared with the shameful name of the ship.

Although the ship's name is not good, what Chen Mu said is reasonable. The largest gunboat, Chihai, the entire Guangdong Navy, and the only iron-capped warship, are all in Chen Mu's hands. No ship alone will be the opponent of the two sea monsters.

Moreover, Chen Mu knew that his Chihai was not the largest ship in the world. The Spanish improved Garen ship for Carrick sailing ships had also appeared, but in East Asia, there was no warship that could match Chihai.

Because the Ottoman Empire was forming a sacred alliance of the Christian world with Spain, Venice and the Pope at sea.

"At the beginning of the war, we will win one after another, and there is no doubt that this will be a tug-of-war. Our maritime capacity, supplies, and warship filling will all determine whether we can completely liberate Luzon from the Spanish!"

"We don't know what ships Longjiang Shipyard is going to build, but the big ships and small shark ships in Xiangshan Shipyard must speed up the progress. By the way, paint the remaining iron shells of the dogs in the past few days and dye them into wood. Don't let others see that they have learned it."

Deng Zilong's face was even more depressed. Even if the name was not nice, the captain was ugly, flat and flat, and he even had iron paint after all. The cannons and soldiers were less than ships of the same size... Now, it seems that there is no other advantage except for the resistance to beating.

After explaining the war, Chen Mu issued the last order, and the whole army feasted on the last day of May. Then he got up and paced, his eyes swept across everyone's face, and he slowly bowed.

"The era of navigation in the Ming Dynasty began to pass through the south end of the port. I am fortunate to be able to be recorded in history with you, Chen is the supreme glory!"
