Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 737 It turns out that reinforcements have arrived

"Ready to fight! Ready to fight!"

Xiao Wu is roaring.

Chen Shichang did not move immediately.

Because based on his naval battle experience, these Spanish warships are likely to be injured!
Chen Shichang raised his binoculars carefully, and he found that a total of five Spanish warships had arrived, and several of them had holes in their bodies!

There was also a mainmast that was crumbling.

This must have gone through a big battle. Who beat them like this?
It turned out that it was the troops of Bartolomé, the Governor of New Spain who had returned to Mexico, who encountered Liu Guoxuan's grandson, Liu Junqing, who led a huge sailing fleet!

After a one-sided naval battle, the New Spain fleet was nearly wiped out.

At the last moment, Bartolomé said: "We must save a few warships."

Because if the New Spain fleet is completely destroyed, then the entire Eastern Pacific Ocean, that is, the west coast of America, will completely belong to the Ming people.

And if the New Spain Governor's Palace can have a fleet deployed on the west coast of the American continent.

At least, this fleet can be used as a breaking fleet.

Let the Ming people pay the price for the fleet in North America, which can buy some time for the support of Spain.

So he ordered to flee in all directions, some went to Jinshan Port, some went to Central America, and he himself took a speedboat and fled to New Spain.

"Pursuit! Go to Jinshan City to continue the pursuit! Even if you chase them to the ends of the earth, you can't let them escape!"

In this way, the five warships were chased all the way to Jinshan City.

Originally, they were safe when they arrived at Jinshan Port, and the worst would be to abandon the ship and escape.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to reach the harbor, they were bombed by coastal defense artillery!

There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. The five sailing battleships of New Spain directly raised the white flag and surrendered!
"Governor Xiao, hello, I am the commander-in-chief of the Yinzhou navy and army, Colonel Liu Junqing!"

"welcome!"

After capturing five warships, Liu Junqing who disembarked exchanged greetings with Xiao Wu.

"I didn't expect His Majesty's reinforcements to arrive so soon!"

Xiao Wu laughed out loud, he is really happy today, reinforcements have arrived, they can directly counterattack New Spain!

"Earlier, His Majesty heard that the city of Jinshan was lost, Thunder was furious, and declared war on Spain. I didn't expect that you would recover Jinshan so soon!"

Liu Junqing really didn't expect that half of his mission was already completed as soon as he settled down.

"Ashamed, ashamed, Xiao is about to plead guilty to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to forgive you for failing to guard the land!"

"I'll call you Uncle Xiao in private, but His Majesty didn't blame you!" Liu Junqing whispered.

Xiao Wu is an old minister of Dongning, and Liu Junqing is the grandson of Liu Guoxuan, they know each other.

"That's good!"

"Xiao Liu, how many reinforcements did His Majesty send this time?"

Xiao Wu couldn't wait to ask, this determines whether Da Ming can counterattack to Mexico City!

"Hey, there are 1 National Defense Forces, and [-] Japanese cannon fodder!"

"Big things can be done!"

"Uncle, why don't you show me Jinshan City first!"

"Jinshan City hasn't been cleaned up yet!"

"It's okay!"

"By the way, you have to make arrangements for the new batch of immigrants from Ming Dynasty!"

"Father, where are we going?"

A plainly dressed woman held the arm of a man beside her, with worry and fear in her eyes, and her left hand hugged the child tightly.

The man's clothes were also very simple, but they were very clean. Wrinkles accumulated on his forehead, his complexion was withered and yellow, and there were calluses on his palms. He looked like a man who often did farm work.

They were Song Fugui's family. They set off from Guangzhou and stayed together in Honolulu (Hawaii).

Song Fugui didn't know what to do, they were originally panning for gold in Jinshan City of Yinzhou, and then they went to Xiangshan, where they ate and drank for a few months, and they were so comfortable that they would die.

The government in Honolulu often organized them to work. They reclaimed a lot of land and built a lot of houses.

If they were not allowed to work, they would feel bad about it, and the simple peasants like them felt very guilty for eating and drinking for nothing from the government for so long.

They are happy to work for the government, that is, the management of immigration companies seems to have more rules than soldiers.

After working for two or three months, I suddenly said that I was going to leave!

This made them very sad. Life in Honolulu is so comfortable, and this is the new land they imagined.

The Honolulu government was also reluctant to part with them, so after giving some silver dollars to the immigration company, the company left them with [-] immigrants.

It was originally a voluntary application, but more than [-] households signed up to stay in Honolulu.

There was no choice but to draw lots to decide. Song Fugui's family also wanted to stay, but they were not selected, so they had to continue their journey to Jinshan Governor's District.

Then they switched to another ship, the more efficient Yugong transport ship.

In the cabin, it was pitch black, with only a faint ray of light, and there were quite a few people on board with them.

But as the head of the family, he cannot be discouraged.

"It should be coming soon!"

Song Fugui's voice was a little uncertain.

In fact, the condition of the cabin is very good.

Not only is there plenty of space, one bed per person, there is also a special place to go to the toilet, and there are people who deliver meals every day. Apart from being a little lonely, there are no other disadvantages.

"Everyone got up, the ship has landed, and everyone has arrived at Yinzhou, a new continent full of gold!"

What the staff of the immigration company said caused commotion in the cabin, and everyone wanted to look through the window to see if there was any gold!
"Don't worry, the governor's district has already sent someone to meet you!"

By the pier, "Are the people inside alright?" Chen Shichang took off the Ming navy cap on his head and asked with concern.

The employee of the immigration company on the side replied: "Major Chen, there is no other condition for the time being. Recently, some children have a fever. The military doctor gave him allicin, because there is no major problem."

"That's good!"

"What do they usually eat?"

The staff of the company did not dare to talk nonsense, and replied truthfully: "It is difficult to preserve the materials transported by ocean. We usually give them sweet potatoes, corn, and sometimes bacon!"

Chen Shichang nodded and said: "In that case, Lao Bian, they will improve the food tonight, pull out two of the bison captured in the city, and arrange a whole cattle feast for them!"

"Okay, Master Chen!"

"By the way, we must do a good job of disinfection, and it is inevitable that there will be diseases on board the ship for a long time!"

Chen Shichang warned worriedly, because His Majesty said that the red-haired barbarians' way of dealing with the Yin people in the New World was to spread the plague. By analogy, the local people should also be more careful.

Inside the cabin, Song Fugui's family let out a long breath.

"It's finally here, I'm going to be crazy if I don't."

The new batch of immigrants from Daming saw the sun and moon flag flying far away in the center of the port through the window, and the immigrants were all cheering.

"Go digging for gold!"
