"The Philippines was first discovered by Spanish navigator Magellan in 1521." This sentence was seen by me on a famous website. I couldn't predict what my friend would think of this sentence.

After reading this sentence, I immediately thought of four words: Ignorance!

This is a true sense of ignorance. Southeast Asia was paying tribute to China as early as the Tang Dynasty. Did Magellan be born in the Tang Dynasty? This question is enough to conclude that this argument is difficult to hold. History can be further forward. As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, countries in the Philippines were paying tribute to China. Magellan did not discover it in 1521, which only shows that Westerners are really late to realize that they are too backward.

You can still forgive after realizing it. As long as you admit your shortcomings, it is impossible to forgive them that they actually distort the facts and make contributions to their own achievements based on the discovery in this area. Is China the center of the world for more than 2,000 years in history, and discovering this area is not a great geographical discovery?

It is understandable that Westerners are arrogant and look down on the Chinese people and brag about themselves. What they cannot understand is why the Chinese people also hold this argument? It can only be explained that they are extremely ignorant!

Fang Mao and Su Dingfang stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the increasingly clear horizon, and were very moved. They had both visited Southeast Asia many times and knew that the pirates in this area harmed the Chinese. They knew how much risks the Chinese would take when doing business in this area. But this time it was different. They led a powerful fleet. Although there were only about 100 warships and only more than 10,000 people, the technical content of this fleet was at the top in the world at that time. No country could build such a high-tech warship except the Southern Song Dynasty.

Not to mention this, more importantly, the technology and tactics of the fleet they led were also first-class. Through Zheng Jinghe's efforts, the "Zheng family tactics" mainly used interspersed have been implemented in the navy. It can be said that such a hundred warships are enough to sweep across the South China Sea.

Facts have also proved that they really swept across the South Ocean. They sailed all the way south, swept the ocean all the way, and cleared the pirate nest. The current Nanyang is very different from before. It can be said to be a comfortable nest, very safe, and there will be no more pirates to harm the Chinese.

It seems that the sky is beautiful, with calm winds and sunshine, bright sunshine, and the water and sky are the same color. A beautiful ocean scenery, if it were not experienced by myself, even the most imaginative art master would not have been able to draw it.

Such a good thing, and even with such a beautiful weather, it would be impossible for both of them to not sigh.

"Old Su, let's make another bet. I bet that King Ma Yi will welcome our arrival with great affection." Fang Mao said confidently: "If he dares to disrespect us, then you don't have to be polite. Just fire the gun and shoot it. The invincible warship is invincible and will defeat everything. I don't believe that he is not afraid."

Su Dingfang looked at him with a little disdain and said, "Forget it, I won't bet with someone like you. It's clear that four taels of silver, but I have to ask for eight taels of silver." The last time he made a bet, Fang Mao won, and Fellero was really scared to pee in the first round of artillery attacks. Although Su Dingfang was unwilling, he was not allowed to pay the 4 taels of silver, because this once again proved the power of the fleet, which was a happy thing, and it was worth the extra two taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, Fang Mao used the ruthlessness of fighting pirates to bet, and forced Su Dingfang to ask for more than four taels of silver. His reason was very simple: "Isn't this great power of the fleet a happy thing? You won't even think of the four taels of silver to invite your brothers to drink, right?"

He obviously wanted to ask for four taels of silver, but he actually came up with such a righteous reason for him. Su Dingfang had to be the sucker again unwillingly.

After this experience, Su Dingfang couldn't talk about betting and said frankly.

Fang Mao also wanted to gamble with Su Dingfang again. A group of ships rushed from afar and called out flags, asking them to stop moving forward. Fang Mao and Su Dingfang put on a tent and looked at it clearly. There were also many ships in the fleet, with twenty or thirty ships, and they were hung with the flag of Ma Yi Kingdom, which was the warship of Ma Yi Kingdom. Ma Yi Kingdom is a country in the Philippines now.

Fang Mao raised his eyebrows and waved his hands. The soldiers blew out flags and asked the other party why. The other party blew out flags and said that the Southern Song fleet had entered their territorial waters and had to obey their orders, otherwise they would be polite.

"Hmph! Let's see who is not polite to whom." Fang Mao snorted angrily and shouted: "Article is ready! Go aim, and shoot me." With a command, the cannons on the ten escort warships roared angrily, and a platoon of cannons hit him, and more than ten Ma Yiguo warships were sunk.

Although Ma Yiguo paid tribute to China, he was one of the few envoys who had been to China and knew that China was vast and wealthy. For these soldiers, they had no idea which country China was. The idiom "Yarang's arrogance" was the most suitable for them. In addition, the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty made them arrogant and looked down on the Chinese. They never expected that Fang Mao would fire without hesitation until he was shot into the sea and knew that he had touched the tiger's butt.

Fang Mao knew that the Chinese were not in this area because the court could not demonstrate, so he decided to take this opportunity to show China's strength. With a wave of his hand, another platoon of cannons passed, and all the remaining Mayi warships were shot into the sea.

"I deserve it if I dare not take the Song Dynasty seriously!" Fang Mao sneered at the soldiers struggling in the sea, waved his hand and said, "Go forward at full speed."

Su Dingfang stopped Fang Mao and said, "Save them."

"Old Su, don't be polite to them. Don't act like a sissy, you are a man." Fang Mao and Su Dingfang built a very good friendship all the way south. They joked: "You have two eggs in your crotch, so you must be hardened."

Su Dingfang immediately retorted and said, "Who doesn't have two eggs in his crotch? You don't? It's not that I'm soft-hearted to save them, but that they are useful."

"It's useful? What's the use?" Fang Mao asked immediately.

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Old Fang, let's make a bet, and you just gamble. I bet that King Ma Yi will not welcome us, we still have a fight."

"That's the best." Fang Mao shouted loudly and said, "I'm worried that the invincible warship has no place to show my power. I'll bet on ten taels of silver."

Su Dingfang fully demonstrated his cleverness and said, "I lost to you ten taels of silver, I won, you give me twenty taels of silver. If you want to save it, you can't save it like this. It's not too late to let them drown some first and then save it. You can't save too much, save three or five. It's useless to save too much, it's better to let them drown them and let people relieve their hatred."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Fang Mao said excitedly: "After saving them, we will go to Weigan."

Su Dingfang immediately expressed his objection and said, "Weigan doesn't need to go. If you want to go, go straight to Manila."

For Ma Yiguo, today is a day they will never forget. The reason why they can't forget is because their stupid king made a stupid decision and provoked a wake-up dragon. This dragon made them remember well: what is dragon power!

"King, the Chinese say they want to enter the port, please make a decision." Pu Zhenggan, the general who defended the port, asked King Ma Yi for instructions.

King Ma Yi smiled contemptuously and said, "Chinese people, they have nothing but money. Have you asked if they have anything valuable to come?"

"Go back to the king, this minister didn't ask. They came with warships, such a big warship." Pu Zhenggan saw the invincible warship from afar. This was the first time he saw such a large warship in his life. It was hard to believe it. After a while, he believed it was true. When he talked about the invincible warship, his eyes shone and said, "King, this warship is really huge. If he gets one, the king will be much more majestic when he goes on patrol."

Ma Yi Kingdom is an island country. The king usually walks on water when he goes on patrols and has a special liking for boats. When he heard this, King Ma Yi's eyes suddenly shone and asked, "It's really big? How big is it? Is there a big palace in my place?"

Ma Yi is a small country. How big is his palace? A house is not as big as an invincible warship. Pu Zhenggan said: "Go back to the king, their ship is bigger than the king's palace."

"Really?" King Ma Yi was a little unbelievable, and immediately said with excitement on his face, "Go and take a look." He took a step and ran to his head.

Pu Zhenggan and a group of civil and military ministers chased after him happily.

Accompanied by Pu Zhenggan and a group of ministers, King Ma Yi rushed over and rushed forward and looked up at the sea. Sure enough, a black warship was parked on the sea. This fleet was something they had never seen before, and all of them Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden and almost fainted when she was surprised.

"Look, that ship is so big." King Ma Yi shouted excitedly at an invincible warship, then pointed at another invincible warship, and shouted: "Wow, there is another one here. What a great treasure. If you use it as a boat for me, it would be majestic."

The ministers immediately gathered together and said, "The king traveled thousands of miles, and it is just right to walk on the sea on this boat."

Pu Zhenggan immediately offered a plan: "King, I have a plan to get these two ships."

Ma Yi country is a small country. Its status in this area is not high. If there are such two large ships, it will be very useful to improve his status. King Ma Yi has already praised the ministers and said it hard to get itchy. After listening to his words, he became even more excited and immediately said: "Speak quickly, what are you going to do?"

"King, let's put them in and send troops to occupy them." Pu Zhenggan said proudly: "The Chinese are the same, they have money but have no ability to protect their property. Sending people to wipe out pirates a few years ago is the best proof. If they have the ability, why don't they do it themselves, but ask us to do it?"

His mind was not slow either. It was really good to think of these things. However, his idea was a bit late. The current Southern Song Dynasty is gradually moving towards glory under the leadership of Li Jun, and clearing out pirates was one of Fang Mao and his missions on this trip.

"It makes sense, it makes sense." King Ma Yi agreed with his analysis and clapped his hands: "Just do it."

Fang Mao stood on the bow of the boat waiting for Ma Yiguo's answer. Seeing the other party whispering the flag, he said, "They agree, we can go in."

With an order, the fleet started, headed towards the port of Manila, and joked to Su Dingfang: "Old Su, your surname is not good, no surname is not, but you have to be Su, and you always lose the bet."

"Go, stay there." Su Dingfang was very upset, and rebuked lightly, looked at the port of Manila and said, "Lao Fang, it seems something is wrong."

Fang Mao smiled and said, "If you are afraid of losing, just say it, why are you making excuses?" While talking, he looked at the port. Many soldiers from Ma Yiguo ran back and forth, looking like they were facing a great enemy. He immediately became suspicious: "It's really wrong. What are they doing? They can't come for us, right?" He stomped on the board and said, "The Invincible Battleship is solid. If they come for us, the Invincible Battleship will show their power."

He can really say that he actually performed the same way as Gundam.

"Lao Fang, don't rush to the shore first. I'll send the rescued people to them first, and then say they've fallen into the sea and save us." Su Dingfang thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.

Fang Mao nodded in agreement, "Let's do it." With a wave of his hand, the soldiers came over with three Ma Yi soldiers. Fang Mao said to them, "See, your king is there. He is waiting for you, and you go over and tell him that we saved you. The Song Dynasty was a country of benevolence and righteousness. If you do good deeds, you don't need to be rewarded. Please allow your king to allow us to dock and replenish supplies." Fang Mao is also a worldly person, so he naturally knows how to speak.

With the chance to survive, Ma Yi's soldiers naturally had no words. They even forgot to thank him and kept nodding. Fang Mao waved his hand, and the soldiers grabbed them and threw them into the sea, and heard the sound of thumping sounds coming.

Looking at the Ma Yi soldiers who were swimming desperately towards the port, Fang Mao couldn't help but laugh and said, "The real chapter will be revealed soon. All the parts are finished, and the artillery is ready." With an order, all the soldiers took their place, and the gunners began to load shells into the cannon chamber.

Just as Fang Mao and his friends were preparing for the worst, hundreds of warships drove out of the port, and the warships were covered with soldiers with swords and bows. It seemed that King Ma Yi knew that his plan to lure Fang Mao and his friends into the port to capture them alive had failed and was ready to be tough.

The warship of Ma Yi Kingdom rushed over, and the soldiers shouted: "Chinese people, you invade the territorial waters of my Ma Yi Kingdom, kill our soldiers, hand over your ships, and spare you all the death."

Fang Mao was about to order a fire, but he patted someone on his shoulder. Su Dingfang was patting him. Su Dingfang stretched out his right hand and said, "Get eighty taels." Su Dingfang was really good at taking advantage of the situation. He actually chose to ask for gambling at this time, which was similar to blackmail.

"Where are so many?" Fang Mao refused to follow immediately.

Su Dingfang said with a sarcastic smile: "You can't even mess with the money you invite your brothers to drink, right?" He was so good at saying that he actually changed Fang Mao's words and gave him back. Fang Mao could not help but smile bitterly, so he had to take out two ingots obediently and smashed them into Su Dingfang's hand with anger.

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Let's fire quickly, they're entering the range."

"You can say it out loud. You actually came to ask for gambling money at this time. It's so ridiculous to the state." Fang Mao scolded Su Dingfang with dissatisfaction.

Su Dingfang was naturally not angry at all when he got the benefits. His performance was a bit like a wealthy fanatic, and he said, "Don't let go of the mother-in-law and mother. He acted like a woman. Touch if there were those two eggs under his crotch? Beat them harder and knock them all into the sea to feed the turtle turtle." After a pause, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Fang Mao felt that his smile was malicious and said a little surprised: "I won't bet with you. You can't do too much bet, you can't do it again or again."

"You're good at fighting, let's do a big deal, and the benefits are much more than this." Su Dingfang threw away the two ingots in his hand and said happily.

Fang Mao opened his mouth and asked him what business he was doing. Then he thought that he would definitely not be able to ask, so he had to give up this idea. He pointed to the fleet that was coming in a hurry with his right hand and shouted, "Prepare! Let it go!" The big hand waved down hard.

This wave seemed to be transforming into magic, and a shocking roar sounded, and countless shells appeared on the sea, flying straight towards the warships of Ma Yi Kingdom. If the dense shells were a net, then the warships of Ma Yi Kingdom would be the food for the net. As soon as the shells landed on the warships, fireballs flashed, loudly sounded, and waves soaring into the sky appeared on the sea. It was so spectacular and became a wonder.

After calm, the warships of Ma Yiguo were almost sunk, and the remaining less than 30% were left.

Fang Mao wanted to know what Su Dingfang said about the deal. His request was to comply with it and ordered another bomb. Another row of cannons passed, and countless broken ship boards were added on the sea. Countless Ma Yi soldiers struggled to survive in the sea. Countless broken limbs, broken arms, broken internal organs, and broken swords and guns were floating beside them.

This is already scary enough, and what is even more terrifying is that the entire sea surface has turned red.

"Is it almost done now?" Fang Mao was very satisfied with his masterpiece and said to Su Dingfang: "What business are you going to do?"

Su Dingfang didn't answer him at all. He looked at the soldiers struggling in the sea and said, "I'm not doing business after all." His eyes had turned to the port of Manila.

Fang Mao understood it and knew that he was not enough to fight, so he should have bombarded Manila, so he immediately ordered the muzzle to be adjusted. When the muzzle was adjusted, with a command, tens of thousands of guns were fired, and the port of Manila turned into a sea of ​​fire.

It was not until the port was complete that Su Ding was satisfied and said, "Let them land and occupy Manila, so that our business can be done."

"I understand. You want to occupy Manila before you negotiate terms with King Ma Yi." Fang Mao understood it all at once and said excitedly: "His capital is in our hands, and he must agree to any conditions we have to ask. Otherwise, we can change a king." His thumbs up and said, "This idea is so clever, so clever."

He said excitedly: "Login! Log in!" The fleet moved to the shore, and the Marines jumped into the sea and rushed to the shore. If they looked from the air, the entire beach was full of people, as numerous as ants.

"Let's go! Go for a business." Fang Mao shouted happily, jumped into the water, and rushed to the shore.
Chapter completed!
