Chen Mu felt a cold sweat for Deng Zilong in his heart, especially when two giant ships in East Asia passed by incorrectly, he also ordered the family soldiers on the ship to prepare for the boarding.

If the ironclad ship is hit by the Saint-Bablo, the hull will not be too big a problem with that slow speed. However, the ironclad ship has too few sailors and will most likely lose the battle. If other small boats want to board the ship, they have to climb up with a quilt. Only when the Red Sea ship joins the boarding together can they win.

But after watching the two giant ships bombard each other with their own eyes, Chen Mu's concerns disappeared - they won.

The deck lost most of the soldiers, and the right side of the ship was bombarded by nine heavy artillery at close range and cracked almost everywhere. Because the support column was collapsed, a large piece of the upper deck collapsed, and dead bodies and wounded soldiers were everywhere inside and outside. After two rounds of artillery bombardment, the captain's room ignited.

Facing two large ships and four fleets surrounded him, the captain of Philip II knew that the situation was hopeless. Before committing suicide, he ignited the house with gunpowder to attempt to let the treasure ship sink into the sea with him. However, the remaining survivors surrendered quickly. The flag army boarded the ship and escorted the prisoners. The fire was extinguished before it could further expand.

Most of the prisoners were tied up and taken care of, and they would be taken to the boat later. There was no danger of sinking the sailboat. Deng Zilong, who had cleared the ship, sent a message to let Chen Mu board his best trophy.

"At the time of life and death, the Western Yi abandoned the corpses and the bodies of the robes into the sea, and they did not know how much they were. The wounded and the prisoners in the cabin were brought to the upper level, with more than 70 people." Deng Zilong bowed and clasped his fists, and did not show the joy of victory on his face. He showed his hands to the prisoners who were under guard and said, "The general needs to interrogate the family soldiers who know the words of the Yi. If the Western Yi in Luzon are all such warships, we are afraid that we will travel south..."

Deng Zilong didn't say anything, Chen Mu knew that what he wanted to say was the danger.

After the war, each fleet counted casualties. Shiqi and Huang Dexiang were seriously damaged. Huang Dexiang was hit by muskets while leading the crowd to capture the Clark ship and was directly beaten to the point of being beaten. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary mesh rope gun, not a Spanish heavy musket.

Even so, I only relied on my chest armor. I only saved my life by two layers of armor. I was just woken up by the military doctor and kept crying for pain.

A mail ring directly deformed breastplate presses into the chest, and it will be strange if it doesn't hurt.

The sunken, crashed, burned, and burned. One big shark boat and five small shark boats were lost in one battle. Many sailors on the boat were saved. Even so, fighting against this Spanish treasure fleet caused Chen Mu to lose more than 200 good players.

Huang Dexiang's remaining ship was directly incorporated into Shiqi's command, and he had to recover from his injuries on the Chihai ship.

Chen Mu waved his hand, and the Spanish-speaking servants around him asked the prisoners on the ship in scattered all over the place. Chen Mu clapped Deng Zilong and said, "It's more than a big victory, don't worry. There should be no ship like this Manila. There are only two more plans for the worst, and there will be no more. However, if you want to find Brother Chaojue to discuss it later, you have to change your plan."

The shark ship can be repaired directly at sea when it is damaged, but the ironclad ship is seriously damaged. Its iron shell cannot be repaired at sea and must be repaired by docking. The ship behind it can no longer experience war, and two or more shark ships must be led by two or more days.

Deng Zilong looked around the bloodstains that had not been cleaned on the deck and nodded, "The Western barbarians faced tenaciously. Although the ship battle formations were scattered, they had their own rules. Attacking Luzon by sea may cause great casualties. Now, we should first land on the nearby islands, launch a small boat to explore the harbor, and then look for the opportunity to attack after resting."

"When we meet with Brother Chaojue, we will first look for a small island to repair the ship, and then explore where the landing is suitable for landing in northern Luzon. I heard that there is a harpboat port there, maybe you can go there first, and at most one day you can arrive."

Chen Mu turned around and watched the shark boats go back and forth to collect the dead flag army's bodies on the sea and transported them to a large shark boat. He gently patted the unbreakable ship's side and said to Deng Zilong: "Go and see what you have gained."

Needless to say, armor, muskets, ammunition, food and fresh water, Chen Shuai was most concerned about artillery and goods, and goods transported from Manila to America.

The goods were counted by their own servants, while Chen Mu surrounded the cannons on the ship and carefully observed various wartime equipment. While asking the flag army to hold a tape ruler to measure various data, the clerk of the army followed the military to record rigorously with a notebook.

The long cannons used in ships are heavy cannons, and most of them are converted into twelve-pound cannons, and there are several eighteen-pound cannons or even larger cannons.

The shells of the four cannons on the bow and stern of the ship are very heavy, larger than the largest caliber artillery of the Chihai Ship. The one who is beaten is the iron armored ship. If the stone bullet is replaced with an iron bullet and hit the Chihai Ship, it may be smashed into a big hole.

Some old-style heavy artillery have the same head and tail ratio, but there are also shapes that are more scientific and narrow head and wide, just like the Nanyang artillery, which helps to release chamber pressure and save weight. This shape is called the Red Barbarian Artillery in another world.

Chen Mu saw the rapid progress of Western technology on this ship. The progress stems from their uninterrupted war and trade. In this process, different cultures absorb each other, and the pressure of survival forces progress.

This kind of communication is most beneficial to technological growth when it is evenly matched, and the Ming Dynasty was also making progress, but there is no even matched.

"I know why I always guard against Western Italians? They have been fighting like this." Chen Mu looked at the muzzle of the bronze stone-shooting heavy cannon, raised his hand to knock on the wall of the cannon, and said, "Shuangyu Island, the Ming Dynasty got the Franchise and the bird gun, and used it for decades. If there were no closed cannons, in today's battle, we got the Western Italian cannons and went back to imitate them, but without the closed cannons and the shark boat, we would not win this battle."

"Is it difficult to build a Franc machine? It's not difficult, it's much easier than building a clock; but is this something difficult? It takes a little bit harder, it takes labor time and needs to cut the barrel."

"This era belongs to the sea, and the sea and the ships integrate the world. They communicate continuously and become stronger and stronger. If we stay at home, we will be beaten one day sooner or later. The Haojingyi people look very weak. Although the guns and cannons on the ship are all available, there are only a few hundred people, and they can level them with a wave of hand."

Trade and land are just gifts of the great navigation, and the exchange of different cultures and technologies are the real meaning of the era of great navigation.

There were too few Europeans who could reach the East, and they could not put pressure on the Ming Dynasty and even the early Qing Dynasty. China only needed to defeat their Marines, and the Europeans had already overcome great difficulties when they arrived in the East. Even if they only took one step, they would have to pay a hundred steps behind their backs.

In the Ming Dynasty, the toddler Europeans seemed to be knocked down with just one push. Europeans crossing the ocean was like falling into a deep pit, with only two hands stomping on the edge of the pit and exerting force. The Ming Dynasty people could only see their hands, and they could only fall again with just one step.

No matter how strong it is, it is useless.

But they are becoming more and more skilled in climbing pits. One day they will jump up and stand in front of you. At that time, disaster will come.

The meaning and cost of active absorption and forced acceptance are different.

"With a vast land and countless people, the Ming Dynasty cannot miss such an opportunity." Chen Mu, standing on the bow of the Saint-Barbul, opened his arms and hugged the whole world at the bow of the knight: "Starting from Luzon, this is the era of navigation in the Ming Dynasty!"
