After the handover of the two colonial governors, El Salvador was ready to escape.

Before leaving, the old fox did not forget to wish the new Governor Coquera:

"Dear Governor Coquila, I have been wandering outside for many years and miss my hometown very much. Now you have taken over as the new Governor.

I have decided to leave Luzon early tomorrow morning. I have heard that you are a talented person in the Spanish Kingdom that is rare in a century. I believe that Luzon will prosper even more under your governance."

Although El Salvador said this, he was thinking about how to leave Luzon as soon as possible.

Coquera is not a talent once in a century. El Salvador just flatters himself to get out of here earlier.

The young, energetic and arrogant Coquela originally thought he was very great, but was completely stunned by the old fox Salvador.

He suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was not only cute but also worthy of respect. He reached out to grab El Salvador's big hand and said:

"Sir, thank you for your praise. I was reluctant to leave so soon. There are still many things to learn from you, but in order to let you return to China earlier to enjoy your happiness, I decided to arrange a warship to see you off early tomorrow morning."

Koquela's decision almost made the old fox laugh, and he felt so happy. El Salvador was still young, so he decided to add fuel to the point:

"The Governor is a good example, and his work is indeed different. It is definitely a blessing for the Kingdom of Spain to have a young Governor as excellent as you. I will not disturb the Governor and say goodbye."

After El Salvador said that, he turned around and left. There were still many things and gold and silver at home that needed to be packed, otherwise it would be too late tomorrow.

But Koquera pulled El Salvador in excitement:

"Your Excellency, let's go slowly, we will hold a farewell party for you tonight, so please be sure to enjoy your face."

Manila now has the final say. In order to get out earlier, El Salvador dared not give Koquela face, so he had to agree against his will.

"Okay, thank you Governor for your kindness, thank you El Salvador!"

In this way, Koquela led all senior officials of the Governor's Office in Manila to hold a grand reception for the former Governor.

During the cocktail party, no matter beauties of all skin colors or wines, it was of no appeal to El Salvador.

El Salvador was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, and his only idea was to end the party quickly.

It was not until late at night that the cocktail party ended, and El Salvador was finally relieved and hurried back to command his servants to pack up their things.

The next morning, El Salvador finished packing things, loaded up ten carriages, and rushed to the dock.

Coquela was completely fooled by El Salvador, and actually sent him a warship to prepare to send El Salvador back to Spain.

And he went to the dock to see off his farewell in person, which made El Salvador feel a little guilty and blushed?

But for his own interests, for his family, and for millions of taels of gold and silver, he still did not tell Koquera about the Ming Dynasty's occupation of the entire territory of Badaveya.

Because he was worried that once the Ming Dynasty attacked Luzon, he would never have the chance to bring so much gold and silver back to Spain.

Before leaving, El Salvador pulled the current Governor of Manila and said earnestly:

"I am really grateful to the Governor for sending him off. If you have the chance in the future, I will definitely invite the Governor to drink. This is a little bit of a matter of intimacy. Please accept it as a freight fee!

There is one thing I would like to remind the Governor that the Ming Dynasty in the north is very powerful now, so it is best not to provoke them and say goodbye!"

"Thank you for your advice, I wish you peace all the way."

Koquila looked at the bank notes in his hand and was shocked at that time. The face value of the bank notes actually reached 50,000 silver coins, which made Koquila's heart beat faster.

However, he did not refuse. Since El Salvador gave him so much money, it means that he must have made more money as the governor, and 50,000 is just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing the warship rising sails and beginning to go away, Coquera seemed to feel that her chance to make money had come.

After the Ming Dynasty's Navy and Army ammunition was replenished, the warships immediately set off in two groups toward Malacca and Ceylon.

Zhu Youjian wanted to completely drive the Netherlands out of Nanyang before returning to the Ming Dynasty.

According to the information of the Jinyiwei, the Netherlands does not have much military force in Ceylon, so the Ming Dynasty should be easier to capture.

However, the strategic position of Malacca is very important, controlling Malacca seafood, and the castle has a large number of troops, reaching as many as 2,000.

Whether it is the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, England and other colonists, their population is not large.

The conquest of local indigenous peoples and small countries all depends on the advanced firearms of the colonists.

It cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty at all, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops fighting every time.

Therefore, there are more than two thousand Dutch soldiers guarding Malacca.

The head general of the Ming army navy who attacked Malacca was Zhang Huangyan, and the army was Li Dingguo and his Dragon Flag Army.

The other leader of the navy was Huang Fei, and the army was the Ming Longteng Army led by Huang Degong.

Zhu Youjian was in charge of Huang Mingdao, Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang accompanied the emperor, and Shi Lang had not returned from Anbo Mansion.

The Netherlands in Malacca had long received news that the Ming army had taken Badaveya.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Ming army to take Batavia without ten days and half a month.

But what shocked them was that they only took a few hours to enter Batavia Castle without bloodshed.

This left the Malacca Dutch people not even a chance to send troops to rescue, and they were powerless to do anything about it.

The only thing they could do was send information about Batavia's fall back to the Netherlands as soon as possible.

The Netherlands is thousands of miles away, and their sailing warships have to withstand various natural weather attacks.

It would probably take two months to wait until the King of the Netherlands received the intelligence to send troops to support him.

Malacca can only strengthen its defense now and be careful to protect its own safety.

They believed that the reason why Batavia was taken down by the Ming Dynasty was the result of the governor massacre of Chinese people.

Although they believed that after the Ming Dynasty took Batavia, they should not attack Malacca for the time being, they were still very careful.

When Zhang Huangyan and his fleet were more than 30 nautical miles away from Malacca, Malacca received information.

"Report to the Governor General, the Ming fleet was discovered thirty nautical miles away from Malacca, and the direction was Malacca."

Bo Tuo, the governor of the Netherlands to Malacca, was shocked:

"What? The Ming Dynasty was too unsatisfied. It just took Batavia and now it is coming to attack Malacca again. Their appetite is too big.

The Governor ordered that all the soldiers gathered urgently to prepare for the battle. Malacca must be defended, and the Netherlands had no way to retreat."

"yes"

Malacca Governor Bo Tuo immediately ordered him to enter the battle state, and he wanted to rely on the strong Santiago Castle to fight the Ming army.

Santiago Castle, a Portuguese building from the early 16th century, was known as the largest and most sturdy castle in Southeast Asia at that time.

It is said that the stones for building castles are collected from meteorites at the bottom of Java, and the stones are bonded with slurry made of cooked glutinous rice and lime.

In 1640, the Portuguese colonists made their last dying struggle to resist the Spanish invasion.

The remnants hid in the castle and refused to surrender, but the Spanish earth cannons could not do anything, so they had to use the iron barrel tactics and siege and do not retreat. After a whole year of stalemate, the Portuguese army had no ammunition and food to surrender before raising the white flag.

The castle was later destroyed in the hands of English colonists in the early nineteenth century, and only the city gate survived.
