Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 531 The New Governor of Manila
In fact, Qi Jiguang didn't ask Emperor Zhang to play Mini.

Instead, want the emperor to back up with some grenades and mortar shells.

How could Zhu Youjian not understand what Qi Jiguang wanted.

Isn't it just a mortar shell?He now has 500 million war points, and mortar shells are just a drop in the bucket.

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"I know this. Tomorrow you go to the warehouse to pick it up. Is it enough for me to prepare [-] mortar shells for you?"

Qi Jiguang and the generals were overjoyed, they knew exactly what [-] mortar shells meant.

This thing is simply the king of land warfare. It not only blows up the souls of the enemies, but also greatly reduces the casualties of Ming soldiers.

Qi Jiguang hastily bowed and saluted:

"Enough, enough! It is absolutely impossible to use so many mortar shells to attack small Malacca and Ceylon," said Chen, thank you, Your Majesty Long En! "

Speaking of Malacca, let's get to know them. Malacca is also a small country divided up by Western powers.

It can be said that the arrival of the Western powers made this small country go through hardships and humiliation.

They were successively occupied by Portugal, Holland and England.

In the Pacific War, it was also occupied by the Japanese country, and later it was continued to be colonized by the United Kingdom.

In 1511, the Portuguese fleet captured Malacca and established a colony.Mahmud Shah, the last Sultan of Malacca, lived in exile in the Malay Peninsula and the Riau Group.

In 1641, the Netherlands united with Johor to capture Malacca.

In the early 17th century, the Netherlands established the Dutch East India Company, established trade in the Moluccas, and subsequently occupied the Sultanate of Java.

Batavia was established in 1619, and then expanded from Batavia to the Malay Archipelago.

England began to expand to Southeast Asia in the 18th century.

The English occupied Penang in 1786 and Singapore and Malacca in 1819.

In 1826, the British merged Penang, Malacca and Singapore into one province, collectively known as the Malacca Straits Settlements.

The Pacific War broke out in December 1941. Despite the stubborn resistance of the British, Australian and Indian troops, the Wa Kingdom occupied Malaysia within two months.

The Sinhalese migrated from India to Sri Lanka in the 5th century BC.

In 247 BC, King Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty in India sent his son to the island. Since then, the Sinhalese abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism.

Around 311, Buddha's relic was introduced to Sri Lanka from India.

Around the 2nd century BC, Tamils ​​from South India also began to immigrate.

From the 5th century to the 16th century, the Sinhala Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom fought continuously until the Portuguese fleet landed near Colombo in 1521.

On May 1656, 5, the Dutch army captured Colombo.

On February 1796, 2, the British army occupied Colombo, and the period of Dutch rule ended.

In 1802, Britain and France signed the Treaty of Amiens, and Sri Lanka was officially declared a British colony.

On February 1948, 2, Sri Lanka officially declared independence and became a dominion of the Commonwealth of Nations, named Ceylon.
Zhu Youjian and the generals are discussing the situation in Malacca and Ceylon.

In another place in Nanyang, changes are also taking place.

On the sea twenty nautical miles away from Luzon, two warships and three merchant ships sailed. On the deck of the battleship stood a 40-year-old Western Curly.

When he saw Lu Song from a distance, he couldn't help making a few gestures in front of his chest:
"God, I finally arrived in Manila safely. The bumpy road is really uncomfortable. Now I'm finally going to start a happy and luxurious life. I'm coming to Manila!"

This person is Coqueira, the new Spanish governor in Manila. Coqueira has long been yearning for the land and sea in the east.

In his mind, the East is not only full of gold, but also obedient slaves, elegant yellow-skinned oriental beauties, high-end silk, etc. It is like a paradise in a dream.

About two sticks of incense, the fleet docked in Manila, and there were already hundreds of Manila officials and many indigenous leaders standing on the shore to greet him.

Of course, there is also the current Governor of Manila, Salvador. The ranks of the team that greeted him are very high in Manila, and the scale of the welcome is very large.

Coquera and Salvador had met several times. He walked directly to Salvador, as enthusiastic as seeing his own father, and opened his arms like a bear hug:
"Oh, my dear Salvador, long time no see, I really miss you..."

El Salvador did not expect the new governor to be so enthusiastic, and he was a little moved in his heart. He patted Coquera lightly and smiled:

"Yes, we also miss your dear Corquila very much. This is not a place to talk. We will go back to the Governor's Mansion to discuss in detail."

Two tall western men, like two women at this moment, they actually held hands and walked towards a luxurious carriage.

Sitting in the luxury carriage, Coquila didn't even look at the indigenous leaders.

But these people still follow the new governor's carriage like pugs.

El Salvador served as the governor of Manila for more than ten years. During his tenure, although Ming banned them from preaching, he still established a trade relationship with Ming.

In addition to earning huge wealth for Spain in these years, he also packed his own pockets bulging. Today, it can be said that he has achieved fame and retired.

It stands to reason that Salvador should be very reluctant to step down from such a good position, but judging from his attitude and performance, it is not clear that she has any nostalgia for the governor at all.

Outsiders don't know what's going on, but Salvador knows very well that he must leave Manila with the oil and water he has earned over the years, otherwise it is likely to be nothing.

All this is because of the information he received, that is, Da Ming has not only captured Batavia, but also acquired all the more than 1 islands around Batavia.

This is clearly a sign that the powerful empire of Ming Dynasty began to expand to Southeast Asia. Salvador had fought against Ming Dynasty during his tenure.

When the Ming Dynasty attacked Taiwan, El Salvador sent five warships to watch the battle. Once they had the opportunity, they took advantage of the situation and took the city of Zeelandia, which had been captured by the Dutch.

However, their fleet was discovered by Ming warships. The Royal Spanish Navy, which has always been known as the Invincible Fleet at Sea, was sunk by the Ming Navy in the Taiwan Strait.

Salvador, the experienced old fox, not only did not protest to Daming, but acted as if nothing had happened.

It's not that he doesn't want to send a fleet to attack the Ming Navy, but that he got information that the Ming Navy actually has iron-clad warships.

This information almost scared El Salvador to death. Ironclad battleships were something they didn't even dare to think about, and they couldn't build them at all.

Possessing a real iron-clad battleship shows that the Eastern Empire is already so powerful that they can only look up to it, and it is not bad to be able to protect itself.

The cunning Salvador knew that to attack Daming was to give away his head, he never dared to offend Daming, and only wanted to do business with Daming.

When he learned that Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to attack Batavia for the first time, Cosalvado immediately wanted to pack up and leave, the sooner the better.

This is why El Salvador has no nostalgia for the position of Governor of Manila.
So when he saw Coquila coming to take over as the governor of Manila, he was as happy as seeing his own father.

Now that he returns to Spain, he can be said to have gained both fame and fortune, and the money he earns is enough for her to spend three lifetimes, and there will be a generous pension by then.

They first held a welcome banquet for Coquera, and after they were full, the two governors began to hand over the work in hand.

The original team under Salvador's command did not move, but he retired honorably alone, so the handover work was completed quickly, and two hours was enough time.
