When the old and new changes, from Guangdong and Guangxi to Luzon, there is only one word to describe it, that is chaos.

The Nanyang Expeditionary Force took two months to repair the warship after the typhoon passed. Many military doctors were still treating injuries on Luzon Island. The tribes that were not ruled by Suleiman in the southeast of the island were the most severely affected and the roads were not accessible. At this time, many military doctors had just arrived at the eastern settlement of the island and also brought the mission of tying households to measure the land.

On the other side of Manila Bay, Chen Muliu stayed in Zhao Shizhen and Shiqi in Manila. He first took Chen Lin's baggage ships, and then led his army to land on Minduluo Island.

Zhao Shizhen temporarily served as the magistrate of Manila and handled government affairs. His main work was to establish social schools, rural schools and compile laws in local settlements; Shiqi was commander of Macheng, and his territory spread to the southeast of Manila, and divided 250,000 mu of military fields including coasts, mountains and plains. He selected important places and important towns to set up thousands of households and was governed by a hundred households.

Although Mindulo Island is smaller than Luzon, it is also a large island. The north is a rolling plateau formed by lava, and the south is full of mountains and hills. The rice is second only to Luzon. In addition, there are buffaloes and sugarcane. The Spaniards used to make sugar and grow corn here. In addition to these, there are many mines on the island, which are rich in gold and copper.

The name of this island means gold mine in Spanish, which is very straightforward.

When Chen Mu led his army to land in Karapan, northeast of Minduluo Island, the main force of Deng Zilong's fleet had already fought along the western coastline to the south. The sea and land attacked together to force the remaining Western Yi forces occupying the island into the southern mines, and a complete victory was just around the corner.

For this reason, Chen Mugeng's port was appointed as the port to defeat the enemy and win the victory.

The Fu Ship loaded and unloaded a large amount of baggage at the port, and then set off to return and was ready to continue the transfer. The army temporarily rested at the enemy port and set up a military camp in the local area, asking Ni Shangzhong to take the scout to patrol the area. Li Shunchen followed the fleet to search for Li Dan who was sweeping south with Lin Afeng a hundred miles east.

When communicating with locals, they were handed over to Magui, who was in the translator.

Anyway, he also has to go to the temple to worship, so he will not bother the two masters in one matter.

Among the Ming generals who followed Chen Mu, it can be seen at a glance that the northern generals are mostly from the generals and have mastered archery skills. Each of them has helmets, armor, armor, swords, heavy bows, and arrows on the left, and arrows on the right, and a heavy armored cavalry dressed in a water light cavalry.

The southern generals looked not neat, and each one had long guns and short guns, but the armor of the north and south tended to be unified. Most generals had mail, with their breastplate and outer armor, and only double armor when they were at sea, and when they were on the land, they wore outer armor.

Muskets are the enemy of armor. Now their armor is getting thicker and thicker, and their armor will become thinner in the future because they are almost unable to defend themselves.

On the third day of resting in the enemy port, Ni Shangzhong, who was riding an Andalusian horse, ran back excitedly. As soon as he entered the port camp, he jumped off his horse, took off his waist and went into Chen Mu's big tent and spread it out: "Master, there is really a gold mine, there is a gold mine not far from the port, look!"

Chen Mu, who was thinking about military affairs, looked at two pieces of copper and gold ore in the cloth bag, but did not take it much attention. He nodded and said, "I know, since you said there is, there will definitely be one. If you like to do this, you will let you do the work in all the mines on the island. Would you like to do it?"

"Where did I do this? I have to transfer people from the Ming Dynasty. I'd better follow the Grand Marshal to go to war. The old Ni family's Guangzong Yaozu was counting on me."

Chen Mu smiled, this guy was not stupid, "Go and invite Mr. Xu, and you can continue to read the textbooks and follow Tindado to see how the gunship is used. Let you lead a fleet in a few days. Do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare!" Ni Shangzhong answered, turned around and left the tent and said, "I'll go and invite Mr. Xu."

Chen Mu looked at his back and smiled. He had all the skills to transfer these people from the north, just landslides. He was really worried that he would accidentally drown him when he drove the boat, otherwise he would be able to lead the fleet now.

"Wait next year, the first batch of officers in the martial arts lecture hall will come out next year and get it here to see what you can do."

Although he proposed the idea of ​​the martial arts lecture hall, he did not participate in the normal operation of the martial arts lecture hall, and he was also worried that it would make people think too much. This caused the result of the current result. He didn't know how good the officers in the martial arts lecture hall were.

But even if the change is small, it is better to have change than not.

There is nothing in this world that can be achieved overnight, and the solution will always be lagging behind the problem.

The Port of Enemy was very close to Manila Bay. When the second batch of baggage was transported here, he brought back a letter from Zhao Shizhen, saying that the court had sent the Jinyiwei to the court to conduct inspections and spying. They had to first examine what Chen Mu did in Manila, and then help him spy.

Chen Mu scratched his hair and ended the war in the Luzon Islands this year. When they finished their inspection, they should not need to spy on the Luzon Islands.

Immediately afterwards, Li Dan came over with Li Shunchen on a boat and greeted Chen Mu and said, "Entertainment Father!"

"You're here, how are you doing there?"

"The people of Marin Island live on fishing and animal husbandry. There are gold, silver and copper mines on the island, and they plant rice. There are few residents but there are many lands that can be planted." Li Dan is a part-time pirate businessman, and his experience is much greater than that of Ni Shangzhong. He bowed to Chen Mu, "When will the adoptive father come from Guangcheng to transfer skilled miners?"

"No hurry, first roughly draw the existing mine, and it's not too late to drive away Xiyi and explore one island or another." Chen Mu asked Li Dan to sit down and said, "I asked you to come here mainly because I want to ask Lin Feng, how is he there?"

Speaking of Lin Feng, Li Dan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The child is still the adoptive father who forgot about Chief Lin. The adoptive father should send them to the front line quickly. Chief Lin is asking for a fight. His subordinates are mixed with dragons and snakes, and Luzon is also remote in the south, so they are garrisoned there. The people are frightened and his people are not comfortable. It is because the adoptive father's army ordered them to be surrounded there and dare not move."

As he said that, Li Dan glanced at Chen Mu and said, "Captain Lin means that he wants to lead his subordinates to harass Cebu Island."

Lin Afeng couldn't sit still. His subordinates were pirates, not soldiers. In the past, the escorts were Hexingsheng, and pirates could have a good income. They could get enough silver based on the size of the escort fleet, not to mention that the sailing time was not long, so they could give them enough time to relax.

Now, like the army, I will garrison wherever I am, and I dare not make trouble on the spot. However, it is difficult to ensure that my subordinates do not obey the constraints and do excessive things. The result is that the local people are unhappy and they are not happy.

"Don't worry, when my baggage is transported, you will bypass the middle island and attack Cebu Island directly. When they come in handy, tell Lin Feng first and ask him to send someone around the island to see first, and you can also harass him from unprepared places, and explore where there are reefs and where you can board the ship."
