On the endless sea, the Spanish Grand Garen ship drifted alone with a red-forked flag, sailing towards its destination, the Ming Dynasty, on the west coast of the New World.

The large Garen ship was in good condition, as if the shipyard was not painted enough, the patched boards were in different wood colors, and even the canvas were newly replaced, with dense soldiers lying on the deck, and the name of the ship was nailed with copper from the outboard, the Lima.

This ship was not available in Lima, the Governor of Peru, Spain last summer. It was disassembled and spliced ​​and repaired by two warships damaged in naval battles. As for why the two warships were broken, the captain who was on the stern of the passenger ship was able to get the answer from the glaring eyes of the captain who was on the shore on the passenger ship.

People say it's that ship, I remember it.

The fish pond that was cleared many times before finally losing the fishy smell was lost. Oh no, the Nantang ship was quietly mooring among the four shark boats. A year ago, the Nantang ship, which deviated from its course in the storm, met a Western fleet departing from Peru, on Turtle Island a year ago.

That naval battle became a nightmare for many participating in the Western Army.

Even now seeing this huge beast parked on the sea is still lingering.

They were Spanish troops from Lima, Peru, dispatched by the Duke of Alva, and took the Changsheng to garrison the troops to Mexico City.

In order not to let the Ming army be despised, the Governor of Peru specially dispatched this giant ship, which was nearly 900 tons, as the car for carrying soldiers, but it was obvious that the expected results could not be achieved at this time, and the surviving soldiers who participated in the Battle of Turtle Island were spreading new fears on the ship.

Fortunately, this behavior was quickly stopped by the company commander on the ship, and there were indeed things on the shore that were more eye-catching than the Nantang ship.

Many people have been here to win. Before the Ming army arrived, ships carried a large amount of gold, silver, sugar, iron ore and copper ingots every year, unloaded goods through Panama, and then loaded cotton armor, plate armor, muskets, red wine and rum sent from European merchants from Acapulco.

But Acapulco was not like this at that time.

Near the bay, the infantry on the Lima could clearly see two exotic towers on the north and south cliffs of the port. Such buildings were rare in the generally low Ming Dynasty complex, especially the fortresses connected to the cliffs under the tower, which can make people clearly feel their military attributes.

Before seeing the gun barrels extending out of the six windows of each tower, the Western infantry regarded this as a simple beacon, because in the past there was a Spanish watchtower north of Acapulco.

There is a port in the middle of the two high towers. In the past, there was only a very short trest bridge here, but now there are twelve long trest bridges extending from one sea to the shore. The Beiyang Banner Army, next to the Duty Defense Card Office, waited for a long time with the inspectors and militias.

Next to the military camp behind them was a row of arches extending eastward. Behind each arch was a warehouse like an official yard. The arches in front of the warehouse stated the warehouse size. When the Western Army arrived, a batch of goods happened to be transported out of the county town. Countless Lifu pushed carts, and carriages galloping on wooden tracks to stock up a large amount of goods into the warehouse.

Looking further away, you can vaguely see the continuous Ming-style small courtyards in the northeast of the port. They planted trees that grew vigorously in the yard. The transplanted trees all have lush canopies, forming a unique landscape with white walls and green tiles.

The Spanish soldiers who were guided and guarded by the Ming army lined up in the port. After stretching their curled sore bodies on the ship for a short time, they tried their best to show the neat military appearance that only high-level soldiers had, but they couldn't help but look at the left and right eyes, which inevitably showed mixed feelings.

"Get cheer up, I know you are very tired, but we have no right to stay in the city. They have prepared camps far from the town, and we are afraid we will walk until this afternoon."

The company commander was a serious-looking Spanish veteran who was meticulously dressed in neatly black armor. He had an interesting name, Garcia Romero.

This surname is a variant of Romeo, and the name means youth, which means youth from Rome, and the whole name is like playing tricks.

He was not tall, but he stood very straight. He held the steel sword around his waist with one hand and held the baton full of distance and mathematical formulas with one hand. After negotiating with the Ming army officers who were supporting them, he measured the distance between each soldier and urged them to start the march.

The Spanish soldiers all wore standard high-top helmets, some of them wore breastplate, and some wore cotton armor made by Indians with prismatic stitches, and trousers, stockings and short boots on the lower body. The strange color matching attracted ridicule from the Ming Dynasty on the roadside.

"Look, they are wearing Yin-Yang pants, the two pants have different colors, and each one has different colors!"

This is a very novel landscape for the Ming people who are used to seeing the Ming army wearing uniform uniforms. Even if there is no need to mention the more expensive things like armor, how can an army with uneven uniforms go to war? Even if they really look like a war-going army, dressing like this will make people feel like a group of mobs.

A well-informed person showed off his knowledge in the crowd and explained: "Don't you know yet? The trade treaty between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Yi had military uniforms that were made for them in a uniform manner, and it would be fine in the future!"

"But their spears are so thick!"

In order to avoid causing trouble to stimulate the Ming army, the Governor of Peru specially selected the first-time Taoist soldiers. Garcia led a company of infantry, including twenty-three mercenaries and three hundred company members, without any musketeers. At this time, the entire company was marching on the official road, holding a huge spear like a slowly wriggling hedgehog.

Their good style made Du Song, who had received a task to lead troops to cause trouble, had no idea how to start, so he had to slowly lead troops to follow them and wait for an opportunity to move.

"Captain, Acapulco was not like this in the past, we, have we lost it?"

As he was about to leave the port, a soldier in the company asked when Garcia walked by. This was a very young man. His questions made Garcia stop, and he turned around and looked over the forest-like spear to look at the outline of the town at the end of the official road in the forest in the distance, and finally frozen on the towering mast of the Nantang ship anchored in the port.

"I really want to board their ship and see what kind of warships can destroy two Garens."
