Chapter 44 Situation
Xiao Wu couldn't help but look up at Zhu Honghuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne with a gray face.
Zhu Honghuan's performance made Xiao Wu secretly proud. It seemed that the chess piece he walked was pretty good.
Looking at the group of Ming generals who dared not speak out, Xiao Wu's eyes moved and said quickly:
"Report to Your Highness, the contributions to Mingcheng's battle are no longer personal, but the result of the bloody battles of the soldiers of Mingcheng. Now Your Highness is probably unfair to reward only two people. Please give your Highness the title of the generals." Xiao Wu bowed to Zhu Honghuan.
The whole audience was sensational, and the Ming generals present were all excited.
They all raised their heads and looked at Xiao Wu with gratitude.
Before fleeing south to Luzon, the Ming generals present were basically middle- and low-level officers from various towns. To put it bluntly, they were just centurions.
I have lived for most of my life and thought it would be like that, but who would have thought that one day I would be able to be appointed as a marquis?
Why doesn't this make them moved?
Zhu Honghuan gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
Looking at the fanatical eyes of the Ming generals present,
Zhu Honghuan knew that if he didn't give him a reward, he would probably not be able to come to Taiwan.
"Uh," Zhu Honghuan paused.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, forced a smile and said, "Then according to Xiao Aiqing's words, he will be granted the generals."
In an instant, let alone pirates,
In the entire court, the Ming army shouted happily one by one.
"Long live the Ming King,"
"Long live the Ming King!"
Anyway, there are not many seals, so Zhu Honghuan, who has broken the can, simply seals them all.
No matter what kind of deputy general he is, the general and the assistant chief, everyone present has a share.
Even the guards outside the court were named "The Gun" by Zhu Honghuan.
For a moment, the sound of long live echoed throughout the court.
Just as the sound of long live sounded throughout the audience, a cold voice came into Xiao Wu's ears.
"Xiao Aiqing, I want to confer Liu Quan's nephew Liu Yu as the Marquis of Zhongyong and the title of commander?" Zhu Honghuan asked softly.
The whole hall was filled with cheers, and Xiao Wu was so happy that he couldn't care about anything.
Seeing Zhu Honghuan cooperate so tactfully, what if he sells his face?
As for the position of commander Liu Yu,
There are no less than five commanders in the hall, and there are more commanders. At this moment, I am still afraid that a commander will not be able to succeed.
As for the title of a marquis, it's useless.
I really regard this as the Ming Dynasty.
"I have no objection. Liu Quan's nephew Liu Yu is brave and resourceful, and has made contributions to defending Mingcheng. He should be a marquis." Looking at Liu Quan's uncle and two others, Xiao Wu said with a smile.
At this moment, I believe Liu Quan is also tactful.
"What, this is becoming the Marquis of Zhongyong," Liu Yu smiled bitterly.
Compared to the last time that it seemed normal to be awarded, this time the awarding conference seemed like a joke.
"Oh." Looking at this reward like a joke, Liu Yu would have laughed out loud if he hadn't been in it.
This is obviously seeking death.
"That's called the court." Looking at the absurd scene in front of you, Liu Yu felt that the entire Ming court was not far from the end of the game.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything. Xiao Wu, who seemed to be extremely cunning, was just like this at this moment, and even Zhu Honghuan was just like the decoration at this moment.
The scenes in front of him always made Liu Yu secretly feel sad, and at this time he could only take one step at a time.
It was not until the sun set that this ridiculous reward game came to an end.
Everyone who received the reward naturally left with a smile.
The pirate leader and the Ming generals pulled and tugged, and went straight to the city to drink.
There were only the confusing court and Xiao Wu and others.
"Your Highness, since the reward has ended, it is time to discuss the next situation." He Bin, who had been silent on the side, stood up, bowed to Zhu Honghuan, and said.
At this time, only Zhu Honghuan, Xiao Ke, Liu Quan's uncle and Xiao Wu and his group were left in the court.
"Yes," Zhu Honghuan nodded and sat back on the dragon throne.
"Let the Marquis of Zhengbei tell the current situation to all the beloved ministers." Zhu Honghuan said.
"Yes, King Ming." Liu Quan bowed,
Then take out a map from your sleeve,
Together with Xiao Ke, slowly unfold the map,
A complete Luzon defense map was presented to everyone.
"Sir, this is the current situation of Luzon's enemy and us." Xiao Ke said on the side.
Xiao Wu, He Bin, Li Tianyou and others all leaned forward one after another.
"My dear sirs, although our Ming army won the Mingcheng battle, it did not defeat the forces of Folangji and Shengfan."
"With the defeat of the Shengfan coalition, General Li Daoan took advantage of the victory and personally led the soldiers of Weiwu Town to the Central Plains, and was now stationed under the city of Banggui." Liu Quan pointed to the Luzon map and said.
"Yes." Xiao Wu looked at the defense map and pretended to think.
"Duke of Qin, since Bolu was defeated by Ming City last time, he has long lost his fighting spirit. At this moment, he commanded two thousand-shen foreign soldiers but just shrank in Banggui City and did not dare to fight." Xiao Ke agreed on the side.
Xiao Wu nodded,
"The birth of the family is not worth worrying about, and our army should pay more attention to the movements of the Folang Jiren." Xiao Wu pointed directly at the Folang Jiren who was at the core of the Ming court's safety.
"Mingcheng is located in the northwest of Luzon, close to the ancient city of Weigan, and Weigan City is another important defense area of Folangji people. The last time 300 Folangji people were killed by our army, the Folangji people stationed in Weigan had already fled in panic and ran to Lavag further north." Liu Yu looked at Xiao Wu and his party and said calmly.
If you want to say that this defense map was seized by Liu Yu from Jier's tent.
The Ming army went south to Luzon in a hurry, so hasty that it was unprepared.
Even the local towns in Luzon have no idea of military deployment.
If the Spanish had not been declining day by day, they would have been unable to guard the entire Luzon Island.
These speculators have long been driven into the sea to feed fish.
"So our army has cut off Luzon in half." Li Tianyou, who was standing beside him, keenly noticed the difference in the situation.
The Ming army landed on Luzon Island very special, and the same was true for the Mingcheng.
It happened to be in the lower northwest of Luzon and was directly inserted on Luzon's waist.
The core of Spain's rule, Manila, and the important town of Vigan, in northern Luzon, were all lost contact due to the defeat of Gil'an and Bolu.
Even the three hundred elite field troops in Manila lost, and hundreds of Spanish colonial troops stationed in Vigan had no fighting spirit and abandoned the city and fled.
At this moment, in northern Luzon, which is north of Mingcheng, there are only Rawague and the Spanish garrisons.
"Lavague is a good place. It is an important port for trading in Luzon. As long as we occupy Lavague, we will charge tolls and operate the routes so the wealth will come and be endless." Xiao Wu's eyes shining and he stared at Lavague.
While many generals in Mingcheng were conspiring, pirates such as Li Tianyou were also drinking happily.
"Mr. He has played all the rewards, so it's time to give you a letter to your brothers." A pirate leader played with a knife and looked at He Bin playfully.
"Yes, let you Han people be the good thing about being appointed as a marquis. Tell me, if you want us to help you Han people take down Lavag, how much can we share?" A pirate leader who looks like in Southeast Asia responded.
"Sir Li, since he has accepted the Ming army's eviction, he should count the words." Obviously, He Bin was very dissatisfied with the words of several pirate leaders.
The pirate leaders in the lead looked at He Bin with disdain.
"Mr. He, when we signed a sea alliance with Lord Xiao, we only signed a contract with your Ming army and took down Lavag City together. But so many good people come to help you, the price is not comparable to before." Next to Li Tianyou, a big man with a Tagalu man looked like a bad person, and his face was not good.
Most of the pirates present were drunk, but the pirate leaders and their personal soldiers were all very awake.
"Li Tianyou, didn't we negotiate the price when the sea alliance?" Just as the personal soldiers of the Navy Town were holding their swords and ready to take action at any time, Xiao Wu arrived.
For a moment, all the pirates remained quiet, and only a few pirate leaders sneered.
"The Ming army occupied Lavag City, and half of the wealth in the city belonged to you." He Bin suddenly became confident when he saw Xiao Wu arrive.
"Half is not enough. Dozens of groups of people of all sizes are all good at traveling across the Southeast Asian countries, but the price is a bit low." Mohanweili, the leader of the No. 2 Black Flag Gang, spoke.
"Mr. Li, let's restrain your subordinates!" Xiao Wu said coldly.
Li Tianyou stood up, patted Muhanweili on the shoulder, and turned to look at the pirates present.
"Ten days." Li Tianyou picked up the wine and shouted loudly.
"When the soldiers defeated Lavag, the warriors present did not seal their swords for ten days, so they should rob them!"
When Li Tianyou's words came out, the pirates present let out howls.
The Ming army soldiers looked coldly. A personal military commander of the Navy Town was furious and was about to draw his sword but was stopped by Xiao Wu.
"Okay." Looking at the sinister smiles of the pirate leaders, Xiao Wu took a deep breath.
Chapter completed!
