The officers present listened to Yin Feng's words.Can't help whispering.Someone whispered: "Boss, we can deal with the Guanla people and the Hongmaoyi at the same time. We just need to call in the fourth regiment of Commander Zhao."

Sitting at the front of the venue, Zhao Tie touched the three-star epaulette of his colonel rank.He said coldly: "What are you talking about. The fourth regiment cannot be transferred. Then the base in Taiwan will be very empty. The imperial court is imposing a sea ban. Maybe it will send troops again at some time. The Zhao Xuanming regiment cannot move."

"So. What about the troops of the Ryukyu regiment. They have no battles to fight in a short period of time..." Lin Shuisheng, a child of the Dan family in Haikou, the deputy commander of the Sailors and Musketeers, boldly said: "We occupy Luzon Island. It is absolutely possible to defend, defend, What are you waiting for... oh. Waiting for the rabbit. Waiting for the Hongmao and Ganlianla families to come together..."

Zhao Tie, the oldest and highest-ranking officer present, sneered.He said coldly: "Brother Lin. What did the captain say during the training at the military academy? Have you forgotten the issue of the initiative in the war? Besides, Ji Zai has to deal with the two countries of Japan and North Korea. The troops are not enough. We must not It will be transferred again. The only ones that can be transferred right now are the Li Xing clusters scattered in Nanyang..."

Yin Feng's military meetings have always let everyone speak freely.So he has been standing with his arms folded.Watching people arguing.But he noticed a phenomenon.Due to the generous economic treatment and superior political status of officers at all levels within the Chinese Army.Now gradually formed the officer corps.Among them, it is vaguely divided into the Fujian faction headed by Zhao Tie and mainly composed of infantry officers.The Danmin faction formed by the navy generals of Mai De and Mai Dahai.

He was thinking about how to rectify the Chinese Army officer corps.Suddenly a voice shouted: "Instead of waiting for the enemy to come to the door, we might as well go to the door. I propose: kill the red hair first, and then return to the division to fight the dry Greeks."

The speaker is Yan Siqi.Yin Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.He straightened up and said, "Zhenquan. Back and forth between Luzon and Java. It will take two months. That's it. Our fleet's combat time in Batavia and Hongmao is only two months. If we can't do it within two months A decisive victory is achieved. Our fleet must return to Luzon. Otherwise, we may miss the opportunity to deal with the Greeks."

Everyone present listened.Everything is understood: Yin Feng has already made a decision in his mind.

Zhao Tie asked with some doubts: "Boss owner, is the informant reliable?"

Yin Feng did not speak.Turning to Zeng Rui of the Military Intelligence Department.Zeng Rui understood.Loudly said: "This person is the owner of the Dutch East India Company who was in ambush ten years ago. The Huatian Company colluded with the government. The news of the attempt to assassinate the owner in Hangzhou can be notified in time. It is the credit of this person."

There was a discussion among the people.They all expressed "that's how it is" expressions.Maddie remained silent.At this time, he said loudly: "Brother Yan is right. We are sitting in Manila. We are too passive. But, we should take the initiative to deal with the red-haired barbarians. We must first understand the strength and plan of the Dutch. There is also the most critical issue: the Spanish army. When will you arrive in Luzon?"

Yin Feng nodded approvingly at Mai De: "Commander Mai is right. If we don't know the exact itinerary of the Ganla-Spanish army, we can't drive back to Manila from Nanyang in time. Then the battle against the Spanish will have to be independently by the infantry."

Zeng Rui was signaled by Yin Feng.Unfolded a crumpled paper and read: "The East India Company authorities decided. After the Spaniards and the Chinese go to war at the end of the year, use the main force of the fleet to directly drive Hele Island in the southern part of Luzon Island. The camera captures Cebu and southern Luzon The squadron will attack Thénardier and Tidore in the Spice Islands. Drive off the remaining Spanish troops. Take control of the entire Spice Islands."

Yin Feng sneered and said: "Our Dutch friend has another plan related to us. Brother Rui. Read on..."

"...to control the entire Java and Batavia. It is necessary to expel the influence of the Chinese Company. The East India Company decided. When the Chinese Company and the Spaniards are in a state of war. Launch an operation to expel the influence of the Chinese Company on Java Island. Eliminate all local forces that support the Chinese company. The operation will use the power of the Huatian Company, the Japanese in Batavia Nihonmachi, and the Makula State.”

The generals of the Chinese Army talked a lot.Many people shouted loudly: "Send troops. Send troops. Kill these red-haired barbarians. Then fight the Ganla people."

Yin Feng said calmly: "Brothers, Batavia is the place where our company has been operating for many years. There are dozens of surrounding banana plantations and sugarcane plantations. There is also a large amount of overseas trade every year. If we lose the influence on Batavia Our company can't control the price of goods exported to Europe. It has to be slaughtered in the trade. Moreover. The city of Batavia was originally supported by my Chinese. The Dutch can only capture it. We have the right to stay in There. That's it. A battle with the Dutch is inevitable. Alright. I've decided. Use five capital ships as the main force of the navy. Attack Batavia. Leave in two days. The follow-up infantry unit is led by Yan Siqi The Nanyang task force is composed. Plus 30 sentry teams from the sailor musketeers."

Yan Siqi stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, the captain."

"Yan Siqi stay here. The others should leave after receiving the combat mission."

……

After Manila became a territory of the Chinese company in the 35th year of Wanli.It has quickly become a city dominated by Chinese immigrants.The city wall maintains the appearance of the old Spanish colonial period.But the urban area has more than tripled in size.A large number of Chinese - mainly coastal immigrants from Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang, came here.Every year, a large number of Chinese merchants from all over Nanyang come here to do business.The resident Chinese quickly reached nearly 10.Based on the huge population of Mainland China.Chinese companies thus quickly transformed Manila into a Chinese city.The stilted houses and Baroque churches left by the Spaniards.It was quickly overwhelmed by the Chinese-style buildings that have sprung up in the past six years.Numerous Mazu temples, Buddhist temples, or mosques built by Chinese Muslim-Hui businessmen surrounded those otherwise high-ranking Catholic churches.

Follow Yin Feng's order on the street.All addresses are marked with Chinese street signs.The original Notre Dame Square in the city center is now called the Shipowners Square.Yin Feng took Yan Siqi along the bustling street.Next to him was the personal guard led by Lin Yue - Magaro's black guard and Li Lihua went to Malacca together.

Yin Feng watched the flow of people passing by all over the street.A thriving market.Walk casually.From time to time, people around him recognized him.Or bow your hands, or kneel down to salute.He returned the gifts one by one.

There are also many merchants and sailors from various countries on the street.There are also Jesuit missionaries or Tagalog people; although Manila is more and more like a Chinese city.But there are still one-fifth of the population non-Chinese descent residents.From all over the world and all over the Philippines.

There is a sentry box at the intersection.There were often members of the Manila Garrison in black attire.Watching the street with a stick.They are the police force for maintaining law and order.Yin Feng once asked Zeng Jingshan what name should be given to the paramilitary forces responsible for public security management in the city.

Zeng Jingshan blurted out: "Let's call it the city management officer. The city management officer."

Yin Feng broke out in a cold sweat.Immediately rejected this suggestion; therefore.The security authorities in Manila City still use the term "garrison" used in Taiwan.

"Yan Siqi. We don't have an official name for the guard team of the Chinese company. Do you think we should choose a formal name?"

Yin Feng suddenly turned his head and asked the absent-minded Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi didn't think about it at all.He also blurted out: "Your boss said that our escort is the force of overseas Chinese who defend themselves and counterattack. Then call it the Self-Defense Force."

"Boom." Yin Feng lost his mind for a moment.He hit his head on a light pole at the corner of the road.He covered his head and cursed: "Fart. You can call it whatever you want. Just don't call it '** team'!"

Yin Feng shook his head.I smiled wryly.Patted Yan Siqi's shoulder and said: "Zhenquan, are you willing to be a soldier with me for the rest of your life?"

Yan Siqi said seriously: "Captain, what are you talking about. I, Yan Siqi, was originally an outcast on the sea. I was looked down upon by everyone on the shore. Only here and by your side can I live like a human being. I can Go face anyone."

Yin Feng nodded.He waved his hand to the surroundings and said, "Everything here is the world I built according to my own ideals. But it is completely different from what I thought. You don't understand. Let's put it this way. I can't fight against the whole world by myself. .I have to cultivate young people like you. Then pass it on from generation to generation. Only slowly can I change this historical development track."

Yan Siqi choked up and said, "Captain, I..."

Yin Feng stopped him.Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said: "I know what you mean. You have been very unhappy these past few years. I know the reason: you lost your way. I don't know if I did it right. I don't know what to do... Okay. Zhenquan My brother. The past is irreversible. You are going to Nanyang. You can only select a group of people from the original army. The fleet can support you in combat. But the time is only two months. After two months, no matter what the situation is. The main fleet must Return to Manila."

Yin Feng took Yan Siqi to the original site of the Fort in Qijili; now there is a newly opened residential area in front of the Fort.There are still huge tracts of land that are breaking ground.

Yin Feng pointed to the front and said to Yan Siqi: "Look at this place. We Chinese have already doubled the size of Manila in less than six years. We Chinese should not stay in our own homes and fight for it." Go. There is plenty of land waiting for us to develop in this world. My dream is to let the sun shine on this world. We Chinese people can hear our voices. In the process, we have to do many things Do it. Even if it is against your conscience. You have to do it. I know. It’s hypocritical to say it.... Forget it. I think you can figure it out. You go to prepare. After going to Nanyang. You are the one in charge. The world there is created by you. Pay attention. Don’t be impulsive. Be calm in everything.”

Yan Siqi took a deep breath: "The owner. You will always be my owner. Don't worry. I will let the Chinese company take root in Batavia. That land will eventually be ours."
