As the Chaoyang arrives east, when the sea and the sky meet, a large ship appears and a rippling wave.

It was a three-masted bird boat, with silver-white sails rising in the wind, and the huge hull rolled out two snow-white waves.

Behind the bird hull, a lucky ship with a head raised and a three-masted tree slowly emerged, and behind it was another huge ship of similar shape.

"Islands and reefs were found ahead." A shout suddenly came from the lookout whistle.

Everyone on the boat tower looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a long list of small dots in the sea not far away.

"The chart given by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is correct. It has been more than a month since Lavague. I didn't expect that it would actually find this place after more than a month of sailing." A middle-aged man in armor looked at the little black dots that were looming in the communication between Haitian and Tian and laughed.

"Order, Fuboqian Town is ready to land on the island." Governor Li ordered.

After following Xiao Wu to clear out the pirates in the northern part of Luzon Island, Li Du led the Navy of Fubo and the two towns to rest in Lavague for a few days, and was summoned by Liu Yu to replenish the sailors and set sail for the northern part of Luzon Island.

The Ming army swept away the pirates in the Babuyan Islands, and Xiao Wu also returned victoriously.

However, many pirates still took advantage of the decline of Spanish maritime forces in Luzon and occupied major islands in the Babuyan Islands. It was enough to digest these islands to cause trouble for the Luzon court.

However, Liu Yu disagreed with the opposition and ordered Li Du to lead the navy of Fubo 2 towns to bypass the Babuyan Islands, cross the Balintang Strait and rushed directly to the Batan Islands further north of the Babuyan Islands.

Liu Yu had no time to play cat and mouse games with the Spaniards or pirates on the Babuyan Islands. Anyway, several large islands were also controlled and occupied by the Ming Navy, so the next step would naturally be to take over the Batan Islands further north.

As for the pirates running around the islands of Babuyan,

Just a group of rats at sea, why bother with great trouble?

The second town of Fubo set sail from Lavag, bypassed Cape Bohador to Pasalun, crossed the Babuyan Strait, and fought a battle with a wandering pirate gang near Gamilin Island. More than 20 people were captured alive and more than fifty levels were beheaded, but only six people were lost.

Without further ado, I crossed the Babuyan Islands directly, and under the guidance of the chart, I passed through the Balintang Strait and came directly to the sea area in front of me.

The Batan Islands are also known as the Batan Islands.

It is about 310 kilometers north of Luzon Island in the Philippines and 14 small islands in the Luzon Strait.

Out of caution, Du Li sent more than 30 Ming soldiers carrying two Clippers to land on the island as advance teams.

With the rising tide and the efforts of Ming army sailors, the Clippers arrived at the beach soon.

Sinking into the half-height sea, the Ming army soldiers walked towards the beach.

It was a white beach, as if no one had visited it for a long time.

Even the seagulls entrenched here were not scared away by the arrival of strangers.

"Leave a guard ship, and the remaining two will follow me to explore." A co-director twisted his wet clothes and said.

The Ming army of Luzon adopted a town coordination system, with one cooperation under the jurisdiction of ten shifts, with twelve people in each shift.

Except for leaving a 12-person crew to guard the ship here.

The remaining two squads of more than 20 soldiers walked deep into the beach under the leadership of a co-director.

The islands are obviously much larger than ordinary islands and reefs, and it took a lot of time for the Ming army to bypass the beach.

"Oh, there are actually people on this broken island." A soldier who was exploring the way found several houses built of stones on the flat ground not far away.

The Ming army soldiers did not continue to frighten these people. After exploring, they walked towards the beach.

After all, it is already sunset and dusk, so it is not wise to stay on the island.

When the Ming army's clutches returned to the fleet, the sky had already dimmed.

"If the chart drawn by the Chinese merchant in Luzon is correct, then we just need to bypass this island and pass through the waters north of the island to reach it." Li Du looked at the chart and smiled.

The Xiaowu sent people to draw a chart of the Babuyan Islands but it was not comprehensive. The Bataan Islands further north were just a vague concept.

Out of loyalty to the Luzon Ming court, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce bought a nautical chart from a wealthy local businessman in Lavague at a high price, and translated it into Chinese and presented it to Liu Yu.

The chart was drawn by the Spanish. For some reason, it was obtained by local wealthy businessmen in Lavague and was finally presented to Liu Yu by Chinese businessmen.

"Tomorrow morning, the soldiers of the Third Association will enter the island. The navy warships in the second town patrol the other islands with the island as the core, and planted the Luzon Ming flag onto this island." Du Li drew his sword and pointed directly at the dim water ahead.

The soldiers present were eager to try, and a burst of blood surged into their hearts.

Many soldiers were stationed on the deck and looked at the dim sea level.

A pair of deep eyes stared silently at the island not far away.

In the early morning, the navy warships in Fubo Towns began to slowly separate and set sail.

Compared to yesterday's restrainedness, the Ming army chose to land on three islands at the same time today.

The Spaniards have long disappeared in this sea area.

The owner of this sea outside Luzon is the Ming Navy.

What are some pirates who are like stray dogs?

There are many primitive natives living here on the archipelago.

The traditional housing of the residents of the archipelago is to build walls of more than one meter thick with stones, roofs with turf, and small windows to ventilate, warm in winter and cool in summer.

The Ming army soldiers did not affect the lives of the indigenous people on these islands.

After confirming that the indigenous people on these islands did not have any threat to the Ming army, they generously put down their vigilance against these indigenous people.

Not all Ming troops were smooth sailing. A Ming army bird boat suddenly found a three-mass ship stranded among the reefs in the northern bay of an island.

"It looks like a pirate ship." A co-master on the deck looked coldly at the flags hanging on the stranded ship. He seemed to have seen it somewhere in his memory.

Suddenly, several figures flashed across the deck and jumped into the sea in an instant.

"Fire the cannon," Looking at the figures swimming towards the shore, the assistant chief finally remembered something.

Several four-pound Ferron cannons on the deck were bombarding the coast continuously.

Several pirates swimming to the shore were stunned.

Four-pound lead bullets passed through the sea, plunged into the sea, and exploded one after another.

A pirate seemed to be affected by the water column raised by a shell, and screamed and disappeared.

The remaining few people swam to the shore desperately and ran to the shore with no chance.

"Lin Xu,"

"Are," a dark man walked out and looked at the assistant chief in front of him with a proud look on his face.

"These pirates obviously have a nest on the island. I will kill him for two classes for me." The tall assistant chief patted Lin Xu on the shoulder and laughed.

Lin Xu didn't say much, and after ordering two squads of soldiers, he rushed to the beach in a fastboat.

When the Ming army soldiers of two squads rushed to the beach, several pirates had already run away.
