Above the top of the mountain, a soldier was bored and holding a telescope to observe the sea in the distance. They have never been there since the last time the Tiger Dynasty fleet launched an attack on the Port of Manju, which was painfully defeated. However, the towering lighthouse on the top of the mountain is still stationed with a small observation team, paying attention to the sea at all times.

A huge fleet appeared in the camera, and the soldiers immediately became nervous, stood up, and their hands holding the telescope became tighter.

"Captain, discover the fleet." This call caused all the people from the observation team in the lighthouse to flock to the window, and raised the telescope in their hands.

Under the sunshine, a sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind appeared in their sight.

"It's our fleet, they're back." The officer, known as the captain, grinned and laughed.

The fleet in the distance was getting closer and closer. This time, everyone could see clearly. The Ming fleet with the sun and moon flags flying in this fleet was located around, and there were dozens of enemy warships in the middle, but they were all locked together with chains and were dragged by the Ming fleet and moved forward slowly.

"We won a big victory, a big victory." On the lighthouse, all the soldiers almost jumped up happily.

"Send a signal, send a signal to welcome the warriors to return!" The captain picked up two flags and stuffed them into the hands of a soldier. The group rushed out of the room and arrived on the top platform of the lighthouse. The signal soldiers stood straight, and the two signal flags danced and flew up.

The captain still held his telescope and looked at the warship in the distance. After a moment, the warship responded.

"The Dachu combat formation, the Taiping combat formation, and the Daqin combat formation have completely defeated the enemy fleet, sunk and destroyed nearly 100 enemy warships, captured 32 ships, and captured more than 3,500 officers and soldiers below the enemy general, Wiskeir." Through the telescope, the captain looked at the message from the waving signal flags on the opposite side, and shouted loudly.

The cheers above the lighthouse were even louder.

"Report this good news to Lord Lei Wei immediately, and we will win a great victory." The captain put down his telescope, his eyes shining.

Inside the headquarters of the Western Manila Company, Gaisen was sitting at a table. Just like when he was not yet an adult more than ten years ago, he was spread out a textbook in front of him, holding a pen in his hand, gathering to learn the language of the Ming Dynasty with his translator Miss Fan. What he placed in front of him was a textbook used in all primary schools in the Manila waters. This textbook was uniformly distributed by the Ming Dynasty and was one of the important components of the entire Ming culture infiltration.

Gaisen may not have a strong urge to learn the language of the Ming Dynasty, but for the translator Miss Fan around him, this is not the case. His Majesty the Emperor personally instructed Gaisen to learn the language of the Ming Dynasty, so whether he is happy or not, he must learn and learn well. Miss Fan naturally has to assume this responsibility.

In extremely difficult to pronunciation, Gaisen, who followed Miss Fan to recite a children's song praising the Emperor Qin Feng, suddenly heard a loud cheer outside, and couldn't help but stare at Miss Fan opposite. Miss Fan put down the textbook in her hand, walked to the window, opened the window, and saw a messenger with a red flag on the back of the straight street, rushing towards the headquarters, shouting loudly while running wildly. Wherever she passed, all the people put down their work, walked onto the street, shouting and jumping.

"It's the messenger who won the victory!" Miss Fan, who returned to the table, said lightly: "Maybe the victory has been won again."

Gaisen's heart skipped a beat. At this time, no matter where the Ming people won the battle or the one who lost the battle, they must be his compatriots. Looking at Miss Fan's calm face, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Fan, aren't you happy?"

Miss Fan smiled slightly and said, "When we were still in Yuejing to go to college, this kind of messenger for victory often appeared. We were naturally very excited at the beginning, but with more times like this, it was difficult to make people more excited, because for us, victory is already a habit."

"Victory is a habit"? Gaisen couldn't help but feel silent. He said this, which shows how strong the woman in front of him had already become. Miss Fan is not a high-ranking official and not an important figure. To be honest, he is also a member of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. From her, you can probably see the mentality of those wise men in that distant country.

"After all, this place is alone overseas. There are not many battles. If you win some battles, you will naturally be very happy." Miss Fan said: "Or it is because the Ming people here are so boring that they need a happy event to make themselves happy, have a reason to celebrate, and then go to the tavern to have a big meal!" Looking at Gaisen, who was a little bit hunched, Miss Fan couldn't help but quip.

"Is that?" Gaisen said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry about them, let's continue to study." Miss Fan picked up the book again, "I hope that the next time His Majesty meets you, he will be able to have some simple conversations in the Ming language."

Gaisen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm very sorry, Miss Fan, my heart is very confused now. You should understand that every victory of you corresponds to the failure of our Tiger Dynasty."

Miss Fan looked at him with some surprise: "I thought you had already recognized this reality. From the moment you set out, you were actually doomed to fail."

"Although I knew this would become a reality, I always had the fantasy of the situation deep in my heart. When reality is placed in front of me, it always takes some time to digest it." Gaisen sighed: "If we had known that Ming Kingdom was so powerful, how could we have traveled thousands of miles to get humiliation."

Miss Fan put down her textbook, "Okay, that's all for today. Do you need a glass of wine?"

"Thank you Miss Fan." Gaisen nodded.

Just as Miss Fan was pouring wine, the door was gently knocked, and it was pushed open immediately. Lei Wei, who was wearing a new official uniform, appeared in front of the two with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Gaisen, I've disturbed your study time, but I think you should meet with me at this time a very important person."

"A very important person?" Gaisen had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes, it's very important." Lei Wei nodded affirmatively: "Wiskel, you should know this person, right?"

Gaisen's mind suddenly became blank. Wiescair, the second-person of the Venetian Grand Duke's family, commanded all the navy under the Venetian Grand Duke's command. How could he not recognize him?

Looking at Gaisen nodding, Lei Wei said: "He led the navy to fight fiercely with my Ming Dynasty. He was defeated and captured. Now he is escorted by our army towards Manju Port and is about to arrive. Mr. Gaisen, if you appear, I think there are many things that Mr. Wieskele will be more at ease."

"You won't kill him, are you?" Gaisen asked in a trembling voice.

"How could it be?" Lei Wei spread his hands, "Mr. Gaisen enjoys a high courtesy here. Your injured soldiers have also received good treatment and recovered well. These are all things you have seen with your own eyes. We are reluctant to kill one of these soldiers, so how could they kill a big man like Wieskele?"

Looking at Lei Wei's smile, Gaisen felt a little scared. Perhaps in this person's mind, Wiskele is a rare treasure.

If the Ming people used themselves to make any transactions with the Grand Duke of Venice, they would be afraid that the Grand Duke of Venice would not even raise his eyelids. But if the object of the transaction was replaced by Viscair, it would be very different. As long as the conditions were within the scope of the Grand Duke's tolerance, he would definitely meet the other party's requirements.

On the dock, warships were docked one after another, and the army had already put the dock in martial law. The cheering people could only gather outside the cordon, staring at the captives who were driven down from the warships and tied up. To them, these guys were really strange people. Their appearance was completely different from those of the Ming people. Most of them were blonde and blue-eyed. Of course, there were also black hair, gray hair, and even white hair, like owl eyes. They were tall, and they were generally half a head taller than the Ming soldiers who escorted them.

Looking at these strong guys, the cheers of the Ming people on the dock became even higher. After all, it is difficult to arouse too much pride in defeating these locals in the Manila waters. But now these guys who are tall and strong and as strong as cows are also defeated by the Ming people, and the feeling is immediately different.

As expected, we are the strongest people in the Ming Dynasty. These guys from the Tiger Dynasty seem to be burning without firewood, and they are just wearing airs. Many Ming people thought proudly.

Accompanied by Lei Wei and others, Gaisen watched the uninjured Tiger Dynasty soldiers being escorted away, and the injured soldiers were carried down. These people were immediately sent to the battlefield hospital in Manju Port.

Finally, Gaisen saw Wiskele, and he was injured, carried by four guards who were also captured on stretchers, and walked down dejectedly from the springboard of the warship.

Lei Wei slowly walked up to meet him.

"General Wiskele, Lei Wei, president of the Ming Ximanila Company." Lei Wei bowed and said with a smile. "He is the highest commander of the Ming Dynasty in Manila."

Wiskele struggled to sit up from the stretcher, and was about to speak, but his eyes fell on Gaisen beside Lei Wei.

"Uncle Wiskele, are you okay?" Gaisson's eyes were filled with tears, and he grabbed Weiskele and held Weiskele.
