The emperor has an order, but how dare Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong refuse to obey?

It is not difficult for the two to set off immediately.

They are all veterans who have been in the military for half their lives and have long been used to this kind of military life.

But they just went by land or water to argue, and in the end, Li Dingguo gave in.

After all, in terms of time, you have to save a lot of money on the water path.

You can also prepare early if you arrive in the southeast earlier.

After all, this time Spain has put all the efforts of the whole country, and the Ming army cannot take it lightly.

Victory is definitely something that can win, the key is how to win at the lowest cost.

If the opponent cannot be defeated in a short period of time, it will also be huge for the Ming army.

The soldiers and horses were ready before they moved their food and grass. The consumption of such a big soldier chewed with horses was actually amazing.

While on the boat, Zheng Chenggong would occasionally chat with Li Dingguo.

This is not common, because the two of them basically lead their troops alone and stand in front of each other.

So when this scene really happens, people wonder if it is real.

"King Jin, what do you think the Spanish came this time to attack? Is it just a plunder, or is it more intentional?"

Zheng Chenggong asked casually while stroking his beard.

In fact, he already had a 70-80% understanding in his heart, but he still wanted to listen to Li Dingguo's opinions.

After all, sometimes Zheng Chenggong's views will be one-sided, and he will be clear when he listens to both sides. He will never be wrong if he listens more opinions.

"In my opinion, this barbarian may really be thinking about taking one step at a time. The most important thing for them is to fight this battle and win. As for the next choice, it depends on the situation."

Li Dingguo said it slowly, very carefully and not in a hurry at all.

After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I think so too. In fact, this time the Spaniards traveled thousands of miles to save face and crossed the ocean. Or to fight for a breath. This is really wonderful. They obviously used the provocation method to anger Your Majesty first, but they never thought that your Majesty would use the provocation method to arouse them."

Zheng Chenggong's words seem simple, but in ordinary things, there is actually a causal relationship.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming army has occupied the right time, place, and people. If they cannot win, it is a bit unreasonable.

"The Spaniards are good at naval battles and are known as the invincible fleet in Europa. Although they are now declining, we still have to be careful about the lean camels that are bigger than horses."

When it comes to understanding the Spanish, Zheng Chenggong must have more than Li Dingguo.

As far as he knew, the Spaniards were very good at using cannons, and all kinds of cannons could even be played with in their hands.

In addition, the Spanish fleet is very flexible and the formation is very fast.

This is something that the Ming army needs to beware of.

But just being on guard is just being on guard, Zheng Chenggong is actually not worried.

In the final analysis, it is because the Ming army is stronger than the Spanish in these aspects.

If Zheng Chenggong really had any worries, it would be that the southeast prefectures and counties cooperated with each other.

Although the last time His Majesty the Emperor visited the Southeast and replaced the Southeast officialdom with a deep and deep end.

It can be frozen for three feet a day without a cold.

The degeneration of the Southeast officialdom was not formed in one day.

Of course, the result of the interweaving of forces between all parties.

This is definitely not something that can be solved by replacing a group of people.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong must be careful. It would be a loss if the battle was in a deadlock or even unfavorable situation due to the behavior of local officials.

...

The Spanish fleet officially entered the coast of Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Governor Mattia.

After months of hard work, I finally saw the feeling of land again, which is really hard to describe in words.

This time, I came to the Ming Dynasty and had only one goal, which was to beat the Ming army all over the ground and avenge the previous shame.

The powerful Spanish Invincible Armada would actually lose to the Ming army twice, which is a very shame and absolutely unacceptable.

Mattia was a very traditional Spanish and was still in the era when Spain was invincible.

Although this era has passed for a long time, Mattia is still reluctant to believe that it has really disappeared.

It just so happened that Spain's former reputation was restored through this war, so that those European countries could see that Spain was still the invincible empire back then.

Of course, Mattia didn't have the intention to log in immediately.

They were not familiar with the place and came completely on the navigation charts left by the Portuguese.

It is said that this place is called Guangdong, and it is the southernmost province of the Ming Dynasty.

Before we figured out the specific situation, Mathia didn't want to go ashore rashly.

If you are ambushed by the Ming army, it will be a big loss.

So Mathia wants to find an island to stop and stay for the time being.

Then he will send someone to inquire about the news, and after he finds out the situation, he will naturally take further action.

The Mingren really thought he was invincible, so he would educate them well this time.

There are many coastal islands and reefs in Guangdong, many of which are uninhabited islands.

So it is not difficult to find the island in Mathia.

Soon he discovered an island large enough for docking.

This island is in the shape of a heart, or rather than a small island, it is better to say that it is a paired up of two small islands.

The two small islands are a natural harbor, which is large enough for the Spanish to stop all the ships.

At first, Mattia was worried about what to do if an island was not enough to dock with ships, but now it seems that he is overly worried.

He immediately ordered all ships to dock in the harbor.

After getting off the ship, all the Spaniards began to understand the situation on the island.

I have to say that the island has a lot of resources.

Fresh water, trees, fruits.

These are all necessary in life.

Trees can be used to build houses. Although they are not very good, they are enough to shelter from wind and rain.

As for fresh water and fruits, there is no need to say anything about it, and the food and drink problem has been solved.

The most unconventional thing about the island is fishing resources. If you want to eat meat, you can’t catch fish.

Mattia can't wait to live on this island.

He had a premonition that for a long time in the future, the Spaniards would live on this island.

If he could defeat the Ming army, he would even name the island himself.

He wanted to use this island as a springboard, lead the Spaniards to attack the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, and turn the Ming Dynasty into a Spanish colony.

It is said that the products are abundant here and gold is everywhere.

Mattia does not intend to miss such a good opportunity. He must become the most famous general and governor in Spanish history.

All of this depends on the opportunity to fight the Ming army this time.

He believed that he would succeed.
