General Godoy and his men sat on the original warships and several supply ships and left the sea the next day after the naval warfare, their direction was the opposite of the Ming fleet, because the place they were going to was Sun City in Xinming.

As a prisoner, General Godoy's mood was not as heavy as he imagined. On the contrary, he had the ease like a stone falling to the ground in his heart.

Before the war began, General Godoy was anxious about the war against the Ming Dynasty by the Governor's Office of the New Spain, and was even more depressed that he offended people on his homeland and was sent to the colony and encountered this war.

In his opinion, it was extremely unwise to start a war at the Governor's House of New Spain. Viscount Santander, whose head was filled with wine and meat, was simply an idiot. As for General Piles, who was leading troops to attack the Ming territories in the north, was also a fool who only knew brute force, it was the same result as his name was translated in English, which was extremely disgusting.

But as the navy general of the Kingdom of Spain and the highest commander of the New Spanish colonial navy, General Godoy, knew that he had no chance of winning this war, he still set sail with all the warships and ships that could be mobilized.

When the naval battle broke out, General Godoy used all the solutions and intended to turn the tide. The facts also proved this. General Godoy's excellent command and weather help made him even gain the upper hand in the confrontation of the Ming fleet that was much stronger than him.

If it weren't for the fact that the fleet's strength was too different, perhaps the result of this naval battle would have ended with General Godoy's victory. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. After all his efforts, the winner of this naval battle was the Ming Fleet.

In the end, General Godoy chose to surrender without seeing any hope. After surrendering, he seemed to let go of everything, his heavy mood was no longer a burden, and he even had a little hope for going to Sun City.

Let’s not talk about how General Godoy and his subordinates went to Sun City. Although the Ming fleet was not seriously injured after the naval battle, it also suffered some losses.

To this end, Xie Zhongyuan took into account the actual situation and left several heavy-hit warships in place. The supply ships followed by the fleet carried out simple maintenance and then drove the warship back to Sun City.

As for the other warships, they set sail again after one day of renovation and headed directly towards their destination Manzanillo.

Two days later, when the Ming fleet arrived in Manzanillo, the Spaniards in Manzanillo had no idea of ​​the result of the naval battle, and the entire city was still the same as before.

Manzanillo is an important port on the west coast of Central and South America in New Spain, and is also a hub for maritime access.

The city of Manzanillo is extremely busy, with merchant ships coming and going everywhere in the port, and countless goods and commodities from all over the city were traded. When the Ming fleet appeared on the sea, the Spanish, including the crew of the merchant ships, thought it was the Spanish fleet. Some people didn't care about the gradually approaching fleet at all. Some of the emotional Spanish even took off their hats and held them in their hands to wave and cheer in the direction of the fleet.

But soon, as the fleet got closer, some merchant ship crews discovered something was wrong first. Because the fleet that came was larger than the Spanish fleet they remembered, several of which were obviously not comparable to Spanish warships, and the scale and armament of the warships were clearly the first-class battleships.

People are lucky. When they find this, some people are still comforting themselves, comforting themselves, perhaps the large fleet coming from the local area. But this idea was quickly completely shattered by the cruel reality. As the entire fleet narrowed the distance between the port, someone finally saw the style of the flags flying on the warships and immediately shouted in horror.

"My God! Ming! This is the warship of the Ming Empire!"

"God! Am I dazzled? How is this possible?"

"Hurry! Quick Yang Fan! It will be too late if you don't leave!"

In an instant, the port was in chaos. The merchant ships that had already approached the port or were still parked at the anchorage were like hornets that had blown up their nests. In the first place, countless people thought of escaping from this place.

As for the people in Manzanillo, they were even more shocked. They never thought that the Ming fleet suddenly came here. Not long ago, did the Spanish fleet go on a war? Why did the Ming fleet come in a blink of an eye? Could it be that the Spanish fleet that was going on the war...?

Panic spread in an instant, the ships in the port tried to escape, and the people in the city also tried to run away from the place.

But it was too late at this time. When the Ming fleet began to shell the port in an offensive manner at a distance of five miles from the port, the war had not yet fully begun and its end was already doomed.

The artillery bombardment of the Ming fleet did not cause any blow to the merchant ships trying to escape. After all, the distance between the two sides had exceeded the effective range of the shelling. But when the shelling was unfolding, the merchant ships immediately went down honestly and fired a white flag to lower the sails.

Whether it is the owner, the captain or the crew, they all know that the Ming fleet is not something that they merchant ships can compete with, and this shelling is a warning and a reminder.

Xie Zhongyuan did not care much about the merchant ships. His target was the docks and cities of Manzanillo.

Several warships were sent to take over the merchant ships, and at the same time, the merchant ships were allowed to leave the dock. The main force of the Ming fleet launched artillery bombardment in the direction of the port, and the transport ships behind directly seized the dock, allowing the land soldiers accompanying the ship to land quickly.

The entire battle did not have too intense scenes. Because the Spanish were caught off guard, the Ming fleet did not encounter any large-scale resistance. Some small stubborn resistance was simply vulnerable to the powerful strength of the Ming fleet.

In just less than an hour, the Ming Dynasty's marine forces occupied the entire port and then advanced towards the city of Manzanillo.

The battle in the city ended completely one and a half hours later. When Xie Zhongyuan got down from the flagship to the port and stepped onto the solid land of the dock, the entire Manzanillo was already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

It was unexpectedly easy to win Manzanillo.

This is of course because the Ming fleet wiped out the Spanish fleet in advance, and it also means that the New Spain Governor Viscount Santander is a complete idiot.

In an important city like Manzanillo, the Governor did not send heavy troops to station him. Does he think that the Spanish Navy, which is not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, can firmly defend this place?

General Godoy's fleet took away almost all of Manzanillo's warships, and only a very small navy and less than three hundred troops were left behind. The commander was a noble army major. The major was not at his post when the battle broke out, and was in the bed of the same merchant's wife in the city.

So when the battle started, Spain had no command at all, and the resistance was extremely weak. After the battle, the Major, who was wearing the mistress's skirt and trying to wear makeup to escape, was captured by the Ming army in a mess because of the angry subordinates' identification.
