As a supply base, Liogang is barely qualified. Of course, in the eyes of Qian Wubing, the qualification is the result of Walli relying on his old fate. It is exactly what Olivia said, he is just Siamese.
The fact that a prince, not the king of Siam, welcomed an army with enough force to threaten the survival of the Siamese dynasty to the land of Siam has already caused many officials in the royal capital to complain.
On the other hand, his father, the King of Siam, has always been silent. It cannot be said that there is no movement. He generally has an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing. This makes Walli even more courageous. When the Ming fleet and soldiers stopped,
During the period when he was stationed in Liao Port, he worked tirelessly to travel frequently between Liao Port and the royal capital. As for whether he was running for the affairs of the Chinese army as he said, this was not what Qian Wubing wanted to know.
of.
For Qian Wubing, a king with a backer is obviously more useful than a king who seems to be indifferent to the Ming Dynasty. As long as Walli's support for the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, it will not affect the fight against the Spanish.
Next, Qian Wubing can even send troops to intimidate his opposition forces for Wali. Of course, as for fighting life and death, Qian Wubing has no interest in it. Wali probably won't say this until the last moment. Siam
Human affairs must ultimately be resolved by the Siamese themselves.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month in the Liao Port. During this period, the Sihai fleet has always maintained military pressure on Manlajia, trying to lure the Spanish fleet out of their home base for a fight. However, the Spaniards obviously
After seeing through the intentions of the Ming Dynasty, they either stayed in the port and defended it, or once they were dispatched, they mobilized in full force. During this period, the small fleet sent out by the Sihai Fleet several times was almost taken advantage of by the other party.
The battle situation became a little awkward.
After Mu Siniang returned to Tamsui, she almost didn't stop much before she found her way to Liao Port. Zhu Yunniang, who escorted her, sent her to Liao Port and then took her warship to Luzon.
Nowadays, the Spaniards' scope of activities is firmly trapped in the waters around Manga. On the Luzon side, even if there are only a few medium-sized warships, they are not worried about encountering large groups of enemy ships. The situation is there
It goes without saying that in Luzon, the Spaniards did not have much benefit. They lost a few hundred people and lost a few hundred people. Under today's war conditions, as long as Saint Anno's brain is not broken, he will not use his precious military power.
Wasted in a place that doesn't quite belong to them yet.
If you try another place, such as the Kingdom of Guri, Mysore, and the Sultanate of Delhi, do you think Saint Anqi is still so calm? These are all part of the Indian Federation in later generations, but at this time, they are still independent.
In this country, the Spaniards have been operating in these places for seven or eight years. When the East Indies, commonly known as the Spice Islands, did not enter the sight of the Spaniards, the spice output in these places was almost
It has become the main source of spices in Europe. These spices are transported all the way back to Europe from here, and their value does not rise several times, dozens, or hundreds of times. The multiple units of this increase have to be calculated in thousands. The spice trade gave the Kingdom of Spain
You can imagine how huge the wealth it brings is.
Malacca is located between the Ming fleet and the spice producing areas of the Kingdom of Spain. At this time, Saint Anzin's stretched troops are used for defense and to deny the Ming fleet from the door of their huge profit-making place.
This is what is in the best interest of the Kingdom of Spain. As for Luzon, Champa and other places that have not been swallowed into the mouth, the future is long!
Of course, Saint Anqi will not mention the so-called main mission of the expedition fleet at the moment. Although the Ming people were caught off guard at the beginning, the next thing seems not to be so wonderful. At present, dozens of huge ships
The main warship of the Ming Dynasty, led by an unknown number of various ships, after a few months of rest, actually began to fight back aggressively. Although Saint Anqi did not say it in front of others, he had secretly admitted it in his heart.
, I did underestimate this empire.
Yes, the ones currently gathered in Liao Port and occupying the city are not only the dozen ships of the Sihai Fleet, but also the newly formed Guangdong Navy, which has just acquired the warships from Tianjin and Fujian Tao, and
They were part of the Fujian Navy who got new ships and went out of their way to familiarize themselves with the ships. Although they were fighting against the Sihai Fleet in the name of "combat training", the Sihai Fleet did not have the right to command them. However, Saint Anqi did not know
On this point, in his eyes, Ming's fleets only differed in their numbers, but everything else was the same.
At this time, both Qian Wubing and Sheng Anqi already knew the news of Lyon's capture. For Qian Wubing, this news is better than nothing, but for Sheng Anqi, this news is a sad thing
Not to mention the blow to morale, several members of the San Anqi family who were released by the Ming army told him that the Ming army actually colluded in order to ensure that the news of Lyon's capture could be passed back to the Spaniards.
The Romans even communicated with the Arabs over land. What they were prepared for was that he, the commander of the fleet, kept his cover and thought about the daughter who was causing him a headache. He also thought about the son who was now in the hands of the enemy and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Saint Anqi, who had always been decisive in killing, could not help but hesitate a little at this moment.
In the end, he chose to report the truth truthfully. It happened to be the spice harvest season. He took advantage of this opportunity to bring some of the injured and disabled soldiers and this year's harvest back to the country together with the news. At least, the news was his own.
It is better for his daughter to get the news than for her to know the news from others. Moreover, he also has a plan in his heart. If the situation is unfavorable, he will wait until September and all the spices this year will be harvested tomorrow.
If the Chinese are still so aggressive, then he will have to try to negotiate with the other party. In the Far East, he has sufficient authorization for the lands that the kingdom has not yet set foot in. At worst, it will not affect the interests of these places where the kingdom has not yet firmly ruled.
, give a little bit to the Ming Dynasty people. If they really can't reach an agreement, everyone can continue to fight. However, he has an extra year to decide the winner with the opponent.
Perhaps, after he reports back on the war situation in the east, the kingdom can send some reinforcements, which would be even better!
Saint Anqi's wishful thinking is quite good. Of course, he is not a god. He doesn't know. What he is thinking in his heart is that he will use the interests of Manlajia and Luzon as the capital to negotiate with the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty.
In Qian Wubing's mind, these places were the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the Spaniards should not care about them at all!
If you take something that belongs to me and then turn around and give it to me again, will I still appreciate it? This is Qian Wubing’s real thought.
