Chapter 332 Know Now, It's Too Late!
Zheng Zhilong knew that His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to this battle, so he was well prepared this time.

Needless to say, Zheng Zhibao, Hong Xu and others, Zheng Zhifeng, who was renamed Zheng Hongkui, Gan Hui and Shi Daxuan, who were originally Shibazhi's brothers, are the best of the best.

After hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Zheng Zhibao, who had the most right to speak in Luzon for many days, spoke up without hesitation.

"This place is only more than 300 miles away from Manila, and there are no mountains and lakes in the middle. It's all flat plains. In my opinion, we have the upper hand in numbers, so we don't need any tricks, just push across."

"How many soldiers does the red-haired ghost have on the island?" Zheng Zhilong asked while staring at the map.

"Originally there were about [-] regular troops on land, but we killed some of them a few days ago. Now it is estimated that there are only about [-] people who can fight. The number of indigenous soldiers is not clear, but their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, so there is nothing to fear. "

"What about the sea?"

"There are more than 100 warships and more than 3000 sailors. But I haven't been here for many days, so this number may not be accurate."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Let's fight on land, it doesn't matter how many sailors they have." Then Zheng Zhilong looked at the generals around him. "If you have no other opinions, just do as Zhibao said!"

"it is good!"

"No comment!"

Seeing Zheng Zhilong's decision, the generals all agreed.

To be honest, after traveling all the way to come here, hearing that the enemy is only a few thousand, I really feel a little overwhelmed.

"Pay attention to me. Your Majesty is very concerned about this battle. If anyone goes wrong, I'll cut off his head!" Zheng Zhilong naturally saw that the people below didn't care, and scolded with a calm face.

"Yes! Commander!"

"Hong Xu, Shi Daxuan, you lead 3000 warships and [-] soldiers to guard the entrance of Dagupan to prevent the enemy from attacking Dagupan. Gan Hui, you station here with [-] people, responsible for guarding the rations and all kinds of supplies. Supplies. The rest of the soldiers, rest up for a day, and follow me out of the city to attack Manila tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Zhilong assigned the task, and everyone in the hall responded one after another.Only Kang Li sat there watching Zheng Zhilong hesitating to speak.

"Conley, what's wrong?"

"General Zheng, what about me?"

"You? Of course you want to attack Manila with us! Let me show you how invincible our Ming army is!"

"Thank you General Zheng!"

Conley thanked.

In fact, he was worried in his heart that Zheng Zhilong brought too many people, and they were too strong.With their strength, they can completely take down Manila. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to be kicked away by them?Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong didn't intend to abandon him, so his heart was put back in his stomach.

They are planning to attack Manila here, but the owner of Manila is already extremely irritable.

Olaza has just received news that Dagupan has been captured by Conley's rebel army.

What he is most worried about now is that Zheng Zhilong will land directly in Dagupan, because no matter the distance or location, landing from Dagupan seems to be more reliable than attacking Manila directly.The most important thing is that they can bypass their layers of defense at sea and go straight to Manila from land.

Fortunately, Taiwan is a long way from here, so Hong Xu will report the matter to Zheng Zhilong when he returns.Then report to their majesty, then dispatch troops and generals, and then come over from Taiwan.How about a month or two?

So he still has time, as long as he can drive away Conley who is entrenched in Dagupan, no matter whether Zheng Zhilong attacks Manila or Dagupan, he will be much more relaxed.Thinking of this, he ordered to send fifty warships and one thousand sailors to Dagupan.Aim for getting Conley out of Dagupan within a month.

Olaza's calculation was good. When Zheng Zhilong set off from Dagupan with more than 1 soldiers, the fleet he sent also set off.

The two parties formed a situation of attacking each other's base by accident.

But Zheng Zhilong was prepared, but Olaza was not.He never expected that Zheng Zhilong would come to Luzon with Hong Xu!
To be precise, there were 6000 troops attacking Manila, but [-] of them were Conley's rebels.

He led the soldiers all the way south, sweeping all the way.Basically, no strong resistance was encountered, and the Musketeers in the team didn't even have a chance to shoot.

There is no resistance, plus there are plains all the way.Five days later, they arrived at Paliwag, about seventy miles from Manila.

With such a close distance, the news of their arrival naturally couldn't be concealed from Olaza.

In fact, he had already learned about Zheng Zhilong two days ago.When he heard that Zheng Zhilong had already marched to Concepcion, he was so frightened that he dropped the books in his hand.

"Why is Zheng Zhilong here? Why is he so fast? What's going on!?"

Olaza was full of doubts, but no one could answer his question.

Shocked, he began to think positively about how to deal with it.

First of all, he decided to send Eloy to negotiate with Zheng Zhilong to see if Zheng Zhilong could retreat through negotiation.

Secondly, he sent troops to drive the people in the city to frantically build fortifications two miles outside the city to deal with possible future wars.

Again, he ordered the fleet stationed in Manila Bay to come out in full force, attack Dagupan from behind, and put pressure on Zheng Zhilongfang.

It was the best strategy he could think of, and there was nothing else to do.If Manila falls, he will have no choice but to flee.

And after Zheng Zhilong captured Baliwag, Eloy came to him immediately.

Naturally, Zheng Zhilong would not embarrass this "good friend" who used to have a drink together, and the celebrity invited him in politely.

"Eloy, why are you here? What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong looked at the embarrassed Eloy and asked with a smile.

"Zheng Bing, don't you know why I came here?" Eloy replied with a wry smile.

"I really don't know. I'm here to ask for food. What are you here for? How do I know?"

"Zheng Bing, you must have seen it along the way. This season's grain production has indeed decreased a lot. We really are not sincerely teasing Mr. Zheng. Besides, the reduction in grain production is beyond our control. Our Lord Governor Already raising food from neighboring countries!"

"This season's grain production has decreased. What about the previous season? But high production?"

"It's high yield!"

"Then why have you thought about why the grain production has been reduced this season? Where did your seeds come from!?"

"Ah? Seed!" Eloy seemed to think of something.

"When you came to buy seeds, I said that if you want to continue to produce high yields, you must buy seeds from us every season. You agreed at the time very happily. But what did you do later? Not only did you want to break the contract and not let us Recycling food, and secretly keeping the seeds for farming!

Cut production?That's right!Do you really think that the seeds of our Daming can be stolen by you casually?

I'm not afraid to tell you that these seeds are genetically coded.Do you understand the genetic code?I'm sorry you don't understand either!In short, if you want high yield, you must buy seeds from Daming!But now I understand, it's too late! "
