The King of Luzon Suleiman helped Chen Mu invisibly because they bravely and tenaciously fought against colonization in the mountains north of Manila, Luzon, which made the Spaniards extremely low control over the northern part of Luzon. Not to mention the scouts placed on Luzon, no one was disturbed even if Chen Mu's fleet docked on Chenlai Island.

Although he defeated the treasure ship in the naval battle, Chen Mu was even more afraid of the Spaniards, even if his opponent was only the governor of the Philippines, rather than the Spanish Empire at the peak of its height.

Chen Mu was even a little upset about this, because after the war he kept recalling the details of the battle, writing and drawing on the book, and finally came to a conclusion that seemed ridiculous to him - they were evenly matched in warships, artillery, and bird guns.

After he had been fully upgraded to the Ming Dynasty's military equipment for several years, he led this army of great efforts to compete with the Spaniards in East Asia at sea, but achieved a even-match result.

He won because of his novel tactics and using battle tactics in the case of all gunships, which made it difficult for the Spaniards to catch up.

At the same time, it must be admitted that even if the Spaniards surpassed the Inca Empire in the Americas, they took advantage of smallpox and civil strife, and they were indeed not fame when they could dominate the sea.

Their naval soldiers were more organized in the battle of the boarding, and the soldiers were also more fanatical, even stronger than the Three Thousand Flag Army carefully selected by Chen Mu.

He relies on a huge number to win, but the Spaniards are more familiar with naval battles. If they encounter this time they are of the same number of warships, I am afraid that Chen Mu will suffer the first defeat in his life, and it will make him lose to a disastrous defeat that he cannot recover from his retreat at sea and dare not return home.

He must be more cautious.

Thousands of flag troops set up military tents on the shore, logged wood outside and built simple village walls, and arranged fortifications outside the walls. Although the enemy would not attack from land, the coast of the camp outside the camp was spread for several miles, all of which were their supplies and cargo.

The most important military equipment is still in the cabin. The bird guns and gunpowder that were spared before going to war were sealed moisture, and they were not worried about the moisture at the bottom of the bilge. However, after the naval war, the ships captured were more or less damaged. Some cargoes were not only damp but also soaked in sea water. How much can be saved after drying? If they cannot be saved, they cannot be saved.

The left and right amount is not big, it's just a drop in the bucket.

The locals were very friendly to the Tianjun army, especially after knowing that their purpose of going south was to expel the Spaniards who occupied Luzon, the people in the village specially sent wine to entertain the Ming army. Although there was not much wine and it was not good to drink, they were very dedicated. In addition, they also helped log wood to build camps, and they were very dedicated.

"Shishuai, I've calculated it!"

Xie Ming, a tutor and housekeeper of Chen's family in Nanyang, brought the book to him and reported to Chen Mu with the file: "There are 167,000 kilograms of raw silk, 200 kilograms in Guangdong, which can be sold for 100 taels in silver, 83,500 taels in silver; one piece of silk and six taels in silver, one piece of silk and one piece of 1,2,500 kilograms in silver, and one piece of silk and two,500 kilograms in silver; all kinds of things have been registered and recorded below, not counting as rare jewelry, and the profits are sent to Guangdong for resale, and can be profitable, and 570,000 taels are strange."

Xie Ming's voice trembled when he said this, 570,000 taels of silver were fighting at sea, and the bulk goods were obtained.

The honest scholar Luodi knew why so many people were rushing to be pirates!

Chen Mu had no excitement on his face, and he was very calm inside.

He was mentally prepared for this battle, and he knew this would be the case after guessing that he met the Spanish treasure ship.

He also knew what Xie Ming was thinking. So many people along the coast were pirates, and in the end they were nothing more than chess pieces for life exchange. They did not provide stable logistics power for soldiers, weapons, ships, supplies, and supplies, and what to do to do a real big deal.

Lin Afeng has 40 lucky boats and small shark boats, and this time he brought more than 2,000 brothers under his command, but even with such strength, if he met the Saint-Bablo fleet alone on the sea, he would not rob it.

First, he may not be able to fight, but if he cannot fight, he will be destroyed; second, even if he loses more than half of the ship and steals it, relying on the pirates' sales channels, he will have to sell it to his grandchildren for this ticket.

Mr. Chen is different. He pinched his fingers and looked up for a while, then looked up and asked Xie Ming.

"Well, Mr. Xie, do you still remember the price of Haojing? I sent someone to find it. There are orders in Chihai. I brought them when I came. I made a lot of money by selling Haojing. You have to beat the number two."

Hexing Shengsheng opened a ship to sell the goods to the Western Yi. Chen Shuai drove the ship to intercept the goods halfway and then sold them to the Portuguese.

A great sales chain, GDP, double!

The scholar was so happy. Although the money was not his, he felt good when he calculated. He pinched his fingers and calculated for a moment, clenched his fists and walked around. He raised his legs and took two steps and returned them to salute Chen Mu. He took the document and ran to find the price list of Haojing brought by Chen Mu.

When Xie Ming left, Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled softly.

He felt that he had to do this twice, Philip II's invincible fleet would shrink by half. As for Spain's financial destruction, no, Philip did not say that finance at all. They all rely on loans to fight. The standard for winning war is to see who can borrow more loans from bankers in a short time.

Chen Mu thought he had stolen Philip II's million Dukat goods, but in fact he caused more than eight million Dukats to Habsburg, which was at least four million taels of silver.

There are only a few ships on this route a year, and the only one belonging to the Spanish royal family is the fleet of the San Bablo. Reimbursement of a fleet is a trivial matter. These cargo instincts can bring gold and silver worth nearly 10 million Ducate in the Americas. Now, Mexico doesn't have to start construction of the silk weaving factory waiting for China's raw silk weaving fabric.

Let’s drink the northwest wind!

On the third day of docking at Chenlai Island, Chen Mu also got off the ship. Because the surrounding islands had all built the watchtowers and beacon towers, twelve fleets inside and outside patroled in three shifts. Although the chance of being attacked here was very small, he still firmly believed that there was no big mistake to be careful.

When the flag army was searching for islands, they found hot springs and rivers. Each unit lined up with small flags and took turns to wash.

The flag army really needs to take a bath. The generals have complete living facilities on their ships. The donkey man just goes to enjoy it and wash away the fatigue of wandering to cope with the next big battle.

Xu Wei did not follow him. The old man found a few foreign books in the trophy. He was like a treasure. He picked a few of the Spanish-speaking people from the family soldiers. He studied and translated in the cabin all day long, and had already entered the state of joining the army.

Chen Mu put his arms around the hot spring in the tropical dense forest, with silk towels covering his face covering the sunlight, feeling so comfortable that he was sleepy. I don’t know how long it took, but the alert servant whispered: “Shuai Ye, leader Long is here.”

"Well, did you ask?"

Long Junxiong saluted and said, "Yes, I asked, they first acquired Bohol Island in the south of Luzon, then acquired Cebu Island, built a castle on the island, and did business with Manila. This year, they sent troops to capture Manila, and a new royal city was being built in the city. All the prisoners said the same."

"The difference is the force and fleet. Some people say they only have 300 soldiers in the entire Philippine archipelago, some say 700, some say 1,000, but the same is that there are more than 30,000 Japanese pirates, tens of thousands of Malaysians and local people's troops."

"Some of the warships in Manila say twenty, some say thirty, some say fifty, but there are no more."

Chen Mu pulled down the silk scarf covered with his face, stood up slowly and said, "That is to say, there are at most fifty warships in the Philippines, one thousand Western barbarians, and less than twenty thousand minions?"
