In February of the first year of Tianshou, the imperial guards came to Fuzhou, and a hundred people knelt on the street and shouted for injustice.

The emperor paused the Lunhuangyu and asked in person, only to find out that it was the slaughtered by the survivors of Luzon. He screamed and cried, and all of them burst into tears when he smelled it.

The emperor was furious and issued an edict to attack and declare war on the Western traitor chief Spain. The imperial edict said:

"Luzon is a small place, with mostly reefs and rocks. Their people are rarely kind. They can be said to be a place that heaven hates, and people who are not raised by thick soil. There is no land to connect to other countries, and there is no large ship to sail all over the world. They can only be willing to fall and fool the years.

The country has no virtues of Confucius and Mencius to educate the people. Therefore, the nature of this is barbaric. The people often regard human lives as nothing and as lowly as ants.

There is also a Western foreign country named Spain, which is also a small country. It traveled across the ocean to capture Luzon and slaughter the Chinese people. The foreign chiefs first pretended to have war and bought Chinese iron tools at high prices. Later, on the grounds of recording Chinese names, they lured Chinese into the hospital and then annihilated them. The Chinese were forced to fight with the Spanish on the island of Luzon, and tens of thousands of people died one after another.

However, ten years later, the Manchu Jiannu went south and the Chinese fled to the sea to escape. They did not forget the Han Dynasty and did not accept the slave transformation. What was the reason for the people? They were killed and slaughtered. Now I heard about it, and I was angry with thunder and aroused the soldiers who revenge.

Foreign barbarians are unable to maintain a harmonious and kind heart, and China will not leave any hatred for the night. Duke Xiang regained the hatred for nine generations, and it will be greatly improved in the spring and autumn. I will destroy these two countries and kill all the evildoers, so Fang Xue will suffer this hatred.

Now, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Zhang Jiayu was ordered to take charge, the governor of Fuzhou Navy Chen Bangyan, the governor of Qiongzhou Navy Chen Zizhuang, and the governor of Manlacia Yao Qisheng had four troops on land and land. They joined forces to take Luzon first, and then set off to go on the Western Conference."

Most of the Chinese who were slaughtered in Luzon are coastal people, and their relatives are spread all over Fujian and Guangdong, especially Fujian people.

Fujian Province has narrow soil and dense people, and the grains are sparse. Therefore, the people in the border areas all regard ships as their homes, sea as their fields, and foreign trade (overseas trade).

After hearing the imperial edict, all the businessmen and tycoons in Fujian Province donated money, and some even took out half of their property.

Merchants in other parts of Jiangnan valued the commercial value of this battle more. Taking over Luzon was like opening another door to a vault. There were endless donors, and the court was shocked to find that they could fight a naval battle without paying money.

Chen Bangyan, the Admiral of the Fuzhou Navy, Chen Zizhuang, the Admiral of the Qiongzhou Navy, and Zhang Jiayu, the current governor of Guangdong, were later known as the Three Zhongshu in Lingnan.

Especially Zhang Jiayu, who defeated the Qing soldiers repeatedly in awe of mourning and crying in the fields of mourning. He became a military general with an absolute civil servant who was a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy and compiled the imperial daily notes. After he led the old, weak and remnants of Emperor Longwu to defeat the Qing soldiers several times, which was a perfect match for both civil and military.

During Hou Xuan's journey to the Northern Expedition, Zhang Jiayu restrained Zheng Zhilong in the rear and made several contributions, so he was promoted the fastest and had already reached the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

In the palace in Fuzhou, Hou Xuanyan gathered Fujian officials to discuss the war. This time he declared war on his way out, and there was no time to discuss with the Chinese civil and military officials in the court, which was a little hasty. However, based on his memory, Hou Xuanyan also knew that Spain is now at the end of his strength and its glory was no longer there.

This country, which began its first colonization and voyage, used its plundering money to enjoy the future, resulting in a complete second-rate European country and never turning around again.

Hou Xuanyan had already been trying to fight with the Europeans and test the gap between the East and West navy. It would be more appropriate to start with this yesterday's yellow flower first.

There is a population of 7.5 million on Luzon Island. Speaking of which, it is also a medium-sized country in Nanyang. After being colonized by Spain, the resistance was not as good as that of the Chinese on the island. These indigenous people bully the weak and fear the strong, and the Chinese are kind in the Tianshan Mountains, so they looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of their bones and wanted to steal their wealth.

Since the war broke out, Fuzhou was a natural frontier command post. After Hou Xuanyan declared war, all the troops prepared urgently.

A war, fighting at any time, tests the foundation of a country. Two cabinet elders Chen Mingyu were in charge of Jinling, Ma Shiying had already set off to Fuzhou, and the Minister of War Jiang Jianxun was also with him.

The Fuzhou Navy set out almost the same day. Zhang Jiayu boarded the ship in Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong, and soon joined the Qiongzhou Navy and slowly drove to Luzon Island.

A hundred years ago, the Portuguese controlled the entire Indian Ocean with just twenty warships.

The broken joints of the eastern navigation power were undoubtedly revealed since then, only because the only overlord in the East, the Central Plains dynasty was declining and the navy did not develop.

A hundred years passed in a hurry, and now Hou Xuanyan is holding thousands of warships and 100,000 sailors in his hand, and is about to take back the seas and island countries in the east.

Small boats were scattered around Luzon, and even Spanish merchants were also along the coast of Dahua. At this time, they had already received the news.

Seven days have passed since the imperial decree declared war, and the entire Luzon Island was heavily guarded. The Spanish Governor Oquedo walked out of Manila and commanded his navy and army to prepare for resistance.

The Spanish colonized Luzon for a long time. Here they established a complete system of slavery. Only "whites" were allowed to enter in the royal city of Manila. The so-called whites are Spanish or Hispanic whites born in Luzon. The tax laws he formulated were also very interesting. Whites do not have to pay taxes. Luzon natives pay normal taxes, Han and indigenous mixed races pay triple, and authentic Han people pay four times.

In the royal city, there are the University of St. Thomas built forty years ago, as well as churches, monasteries, Governor's Mansion, town halls, hospitals, arsenals, etc. As long as Manila is taken down, the entire Luzon will be in control.

Diego frowned and stood by the sea in a very unhappy mood. He had just come from Spain and thought that Oquette was too nervous to treat the Far Eastern people, which was a lack of gentlemanly demeanor.

"Their boats will be sunk by shells before they arrive, and they will go to the deep sea to feed fish, my Governor."

Aoquido was wearing a straight military uniform and a conical military cap. He looked coldly at the nobles who came from the local area. This chubby young man had royal blood and was still very arrogant when he arrived in Luzon. Aoquido had been a local emperor in Luzon for so many years and was no longer used to people being disrespectful to him. Thinking of his grandmother, Aoquido still suppressed his anger and said, "Diego, if you had seen the Battle of Malaga, you would not be so despised by Dahua and their navy."

Diego smiled funnyly, and was about to mock the Governor of the Land Bunzi who had been in the Far East for a long time. Suddenly, his smile on his face was frozen on his face and he cried out: "Hey, God brings something to our eyes."
