Liu Jingming looked at Carlos and others who were escorted to the archway, ignored it and looked at the north.

A captain stood beside him and said, "Sir, I have arranged for someone to go to the trial. Are you sending someone to send a message to the base now?"

Liu Jingming shook his head and said, "I guess I can't go back now, so I'll interrogate the prisoners first."

“是!”都尉道.

Liu Jingming felt relieved as he looked at the gradually dissipating smoke and dust.

These red-haired ghosts are not as terrible as the legendary ones. Although the number of people here is a little smaller, they are still not bloody. The troops garrisoned in Anping City are comparable to those here, and they can be more severely defended and densely packed with islands. They are definitely not something that red-haired people can easily invade.

Putmans' fleet is now far away from Tamsui City, heading south along the coast and heading straight to Anping City.

Putmans was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, estimating the time, nodding slightly, "Carlos has occupied Tamsui City now."

There were some white soldiers standing behind him, and no one thought he was wrong.

They have almost never failed in the face of indigenous people from all over the country, and this must be the case here!

Putmans' fleet headed south, and Spain's fleet led by Okundo and appeared in the center of the strait between Fuzhou Prefecture and Tamsui City.

"General, the bugs are almost gone." A soldier stood behind Okundo.

Okundo looked at the north, and although it was already summer, he was still dressed like a bulky bear, looking at the north and said, "Let's wait."

The soldier stood quietly behind him and looked north. That was the goal of their inland Ming Dynasty this time!

On the largest warship of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Wencan and Zhu Youjian collected information from all over the world, but now they were a little confused.

"The Red-haired men are divided, and the Franchise men are wandering on the sea without moving?"

Zhu Youjian listened to the information and looked at the charts, thinking about something.

Xiong Wencan was also watching and said in contemplation: "Prince, do you think they will conspire?"

Zhu Youjian said: "regardless of whether they conspire or not, we cannot move easily now, and we must beware of the Franchise people's troubles."

Xiong Wencan frowned and said, "Then he can only rely on Tamsui City and Anping City. Will there be any problems with them?"

They didn't know that Liu Jingming had captured Carlos, and they were all worried that if the two places had made a mistake, it would be a big blow to the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I'm worried. These two places have been prepared for several years and are not so easy to be captured. At least it's not a problem to stay for three or two months."

Xiong Wencan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If this is the case, the red-haired people would have to retreat even if they don’t retreat. They couldn’t hold on the sea for so long.

"But..." Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Xiong Wencan looked slightly dark and said, "Prince, please tell me if you have something to do." He is under great pressure now, and the emperor is watching from behind.

Zhu Youjian glanced around and leaned closer and whispered: "The emperor means a big victory. If he just barely defended it, he may not be able to get over his face."

Xiong Wencan immediately understood, with a calm face, and said for a while: "Then... take a risk?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head and said, "We are not familiar with naval warfare, but the Franji people have been through the battlefield for a long time. If our navy is defeated, even if Taiwan can be defended, it will be lost."

Xiong Wencan looked calm and did not respond. In fact, they had no confidence in the navy, so they decided to "lead the enemy to the shore". Now the Franchise man was standing in the middle, destroying all their plans and leaving them with his hands and feet.

"Prince, do you want to ask the emperor for instructions?" a deputy general said hesitantly.

Everyone knows that the establishment of the navy was promoted by the emperor, and on many issues, the emperor's vision is more important.

"No!"

Xiong Wencan and Zhu Youjian said almost in unison.

The deputy general was stunned and did not speak anymore.

Xiong Wencan and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, and both of them understood that asking Zhu Xu at this time would only show their incompetence!

Zhu Youjian continued to stare at the chart, and the more he looked, the more he felt strange, and said, "What exactly is the Franchise man doing? If you really want to stop us, you don't need to stay there. You should continue to go south and be in the middle of the strait?"

Xiong Wencan looked and said, "They should have other intentions."

Zhu Youjian nodded thoughtfully and said, "There are other intentions... I remember that the Red-haired man in the sixth year of the Apocalypse failed to attack Xiamen. The gate of the Gate was not. Could it be that the Franji man also had the idea of ​​us approaching the shore?"

Xiong Wencan's face changed slightly and he said, "Where is the prince's judgment?" He was mainly worried about Meizhou Island. After all, the emperor was here, and if he fell here, it would be a big deal.

Zhu Youjian also thought of this and said in contemplation: "No matter where it is, we must keep a close eye on it. When necessary, the navy will fight!"

Xiong Wencan took a deep breath and his face was cold. At this time, they could no longer resist retreating.

"Okay, the first-level combat readiness of the entire ship!" Xiong Wencan shouted in a deep voice.

"yes!"

The fleet waved flags one by one, and the flags quickly spread throughout all ships.

The fleet immediately became nervous, the cannons adjusted, the fleet made an attacking posture, ready to fight at any time!

Putmans went south to Anping City, and Okundo was wandering on the sea, and the Ming Dynasty fleet was ready.

No one knows how the situation will develop, but is changing rapidly.

Meizhou Island Base.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, with a bunch of memoirs in front of him, and he couldn't see any thoughts. There were tea and pastries on the other hand, and he didn't have any slightest food.

The naval battles are different on different lands, and Taiwan is separated by a strait, so the news cannot be conveyed in time.

Zhu Xu was anxious and uneasy. Sitting there, he couldn't calm down.

The same is true for Cao Huachun. This battle was too important for the Ming Dynasty and was related to the direction of national affairs. Once it failed, it would cause extremely serious setbacks to the navy, and the most important thing was that it would also greatly attack the emperor!

He looked at Zhu Xu's gloomy and cold expression and stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you don't go out for a walk, there are still many places to see in Fujian."

Zhu Xu looked up at him, knew what he meant, waved his hand and said, "It's useless to go anywhere, you go, I'll sleep for a while."

It's weird if you can sleep.

Cao Huachun knew his pressure in his heart, so hesitated and retreated.

Zhu Xu lay on the soft collapse and breathed deeply, as if he wanted to spit out all the turbid air in his heart.

"Don't let me down..." Zhu Xu whispered, closing his eyes to avoid his irritable mood.

Zhu Xu was drowsy in his mind and fell asleep. After he woke up, it was already the next day.

"Why don't you wake me up? What's going on now?" Zhu Xu jumped up from the soft collapse, ignored everything else, rushed out directly, staring at Cao Huachun and said.

Cao Huachun hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, no war will happen."

Zhu Xu rubbed his face and said, "Talk about it specifically."

"yes."

Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu was anxious and said quickly: "The Franji man is still hovering on the sea and has not moved. The red-haired man has arrived at Penghu Island less than fifty miles away, and there is no movement yet."

Zhu Xu pressed his temples with both hands, forcing himself to calm down.

Calculate the time, it is indeed the same.

Zhu Xu let out a breath, turned around and went back, while washing his face, saying, "What are the arrangements for the Navy?"

Cao Huachun followed in and said, "There has been resolved on Tamsui City, and Penghu Lake has already made arrangements, and there is no need to make any arrangements. The navy is also blocking the sea to prevent the news from leaking. But the Francs have been staying at the sea without any movement. Lord Xiong and King Tang guessing that they might be trying to make an inland and have been staring at it."

Zhu Xu wiped his face with a towel, and was much more refreshed. He thought for a while and said, "Well, keep staring, let me know immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes!" Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu let out a long sigh, feeling uneasy and could not calm down no matter what he did.

Standing there, hesitated for a while, he said, "Go, go out for a walk."

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu and walked slowly along the cement road at the base.

He looked at Zhu Xu with some distracted thoughts, and thought for a while, saying, "Emperor, General Cao has gone south and is expected to arrive in two days. The matters in Japan have basically been handled. The 30,000 people prepared by the Ministry of War will arrive in three days. The horse has arrived in Fujian and is handing over with Yu Anxing."

Zhu Xu listened and said casually: "These 30,000 are left to Yu Anxing for training. Cao Wenzhao went south alone and mobilized ships and cannons from all over the country with the king's order arrows. I want 300 ships and 800 cannons!"

Cao Huachun was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, are you transferred from the Military Arts Bureau?" Now the Military Arts Bureau can produce 300 artillery pieces every year, and Fujian cannot mobilize such a large number.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's too late, so I ordered Cao Wenzhao to do it himself. Tell Yu Anxing that the 30,000 people should be organized as soon as possible, and I will have great use."

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.
