After bidding Sakai Tadayo farewell, Zhao Lie had a good reunion at home with his two wives and children.
Zhao Lie felt that the decisive battle was getting closer and closer, and he cherished the opportunity to be with his children even more.
Since Zhao Lie has not traveled far in the past few months, Zhao Cunren, Zhao Yan, and Zhao Cunli are also very close to Zhao Lie.
They are no longer strangers to each other in the past few months.
Nowadays, the Zhao family is more like a big nursery.
Not counting the children of Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunzhi, Zhao Cunli, and Zhao Yan, the children of Huang Han, Wanji, Ma Tao, Yu Dabao, Dabao, etc. also play and read here, and receive Zhao's education together.
Enlightenment education formulated fiercely.
On this day, Zhao Lie, Yu Dabao and Zhao Da had just walked out of the gate of the inner house and saw Yu Dabao's son Yu Cheng sitting on the ground crying.
After asking, he found out that it was Huang Han's son Huang Tingmu who had snatched away his snacks.
Yu Dabao stared, "Why are you crying after I snatched it from you?
Just take it back.
Why are you so cowardly?"
Yu Cheng sobbed, "Mom doesn't let me hit people.
She says she can't be like your father and she will beat and kill them."
Although Yu Cheng is only five years old, he has inherited Yu Dabao's genes and is as tall as a child two years older than him.
He can hit with hard fists.
He beat several children to tears, and Wang Yue must have warned him.
Wang Yue must have said it, and Yu Dabao immediately changed the subject, "Well, then you listen to your mother."
Zhao Lie laughed and patted Yu Dabao on the shoulder.
Yu Dabao was brave and good at fighting, but he had no interest in this Xiwen hyphenation.
Zhao Lie did not force it.
It seemed that Wang Yue had seen something.
In the future, people like Tang Xianwen and others would It seems that finding a civilian job next to an adult is respectable enough and safe, unlike Yu Dabao, who is beaten and killed.
It is said that Wang Yue placed Yu Dabao obediently, and he really pointed east and did not dare to go west.
Yu Dabao blushed, and even Zhao Da laughed.
Zhao Lie took out a few candies from his sleeves and handed them to Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng's little eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately took them and started eating them.
"It's not like you're saying hello, sir."
Yu Dabao glared again.
Yu Cheng pouted and was about to kneel down when Zhao Lie bent down and grabbed Yu Cheng.
He looked at Yu Dabao and said, "He's just a child, so these etiquettes are waived.
Yu Dabao, you and Zhao Da have been with me for many years, and we are like brothers." , When did you pay attention to these false etiquette?"
Yu Dabao smiled stupidly.
Zhao Lie used his cuffs to wipe off the two dirty streaks on Yu Cheng, while Yu Cheng showed off to the other friends with the candy.
Seeing Yu Cheng running away quickly with his calves kicking backwards, Zhao Lie and the others not only smiled, but the children's faces were as fast as the weather in March.
"Sir, Mr.
Tang from the government office sent someone to report that the ship from Xiaoliuqiu brought back several Xiyi people.
Mr.
Tang asked you to arrive at the government office as soon as possible."
A guard came from the front yard to report.
Zhao Lie smiled coldly, haha, it should be time.
Several months have passed, and I think it is time for Manila and Batavia to send people to discuss.
When the news of the defeat came back, there must have been a lot of Spaniards and Dutch people who couldn't sit still.
It was not just a question of how many warships and manpower were lost, but also the relationship between the trade route with the Japanese country and the Ming Dynasty after the trade route was controlled by the Polu army.
The problem is, this is related to their livelihood.

Diego, Tusmi and Santos had been waiting in the official hall of the government office for a long time.
At first, only one official came out to receive them, and then left after saying that they were waiting for you.
Only a few soldiers in Ming shirts were left to watch them.
And these soldiers looked at them with extremely unkind eyes, not with disdain, but with an indescribable taste, well, it was hostility and hatred.
After thinking about it, these people were a little shuddered.
After all, the attitude of the soldiers here often means the attitude of the leader of the Ming Dynasty.
It is also clear that their nearly a hundred Galen warships are powerful in combat.
These Ming people defeated and captured these warships.
It seems that they paid the price of hundreds of warships and the loss of personnel will not be less.
Of course, these soldiers hate them. them.
In fact, they thought too well.
In the last battle of Xiaoliuqiu, the casualties caused by the Xiyi warships to the Polu army did not exceed a quarter of the total Polu army.
The Zheng family fleet caused the greatest losses to the Polu army. , if this were not the case, they would never sit here peacefully.
Maybe someone would have already come over and killed them.
You must know that the Polu Army Navy soldiers hated the Zheng family deeply.
Of course, without provoking a war and without the containment and cooperation of the Galen warships, the Zheng family would never have done so much damage to the Polu army, so these soldiers hated these Western Yi people deeply.
Diego fell asleep in order to calm down in this tense situation.
The so-called out of sight, out of mind is not true.
He remembered that when the news of the defeat came, the entire Imperial City of Manila was completely silent.
You must know that the warships currently anchored in Manila, even the smallest two-mast warships, total only thirteen, but they are to protect the Philippines, which has thousands of islands.
Simply a difficult task.
The two warships who escaped described the Polu army's giant ships and cannons as unrivaled.
The adjective they used to describe Akito's fleet was that it covered the sea and was boundless.
This made Governor Coppola very entangled, because in the past two years, the power of the Ming people in Luzon has grown stronger, looming as a threat to Spanish rule.
The resilience of these Ming people is really strong.
You must know that just thirty years ago, the Spaniards and indigenous people massacred more than 30,000 Ming people, wiping out the Ming people's power that was growing in Luzon at that time.
But in just over thirty years, these people from the Ming Dynasty traveled thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty.
They settled in Manila to do business, and their number increased, reaching tens of thousands before their eyes.
Although they are not many in number, they stick together and stick to their own customs.
Even the Catholic Ming people have far more contact with them than the Spaniards, including the priests who teach them.
They have money and food and their own nursing home.
Maybe they haven't shown too much ambition yet, but according to European understanding, that is because their strength is still insufficient.
If there is no ambition at all, why do Ming pirates continue to invade the Philippines?
The largest group of thousands of people attacked Manila, just to seize it and establish their country.
Therefore, the wariness of Ming people is deeply rooted in the bones of the Spanish people.
The Spanish nobles headed by Coquilla are deeply wary of the Chinese.
As early as two years ago, they began to suppress Ming people in terms of taxation, employment, etc., and even secretly.
Inciting conflicts between the indigenous Filipinos and the Chinese.
In the past few months, large-scale fights have broken out between indigenous people and Chinese.
The Spanish authorities in Manila, following Coquilla's suggestion, severely punished the Chinese, while the murderers who injured the Chinese by the indigenous people were simply fined and released. , which greatly increased the anger of the Chinese against the indigenous people and the Spaniards, which can be said to have reached a critical point.
This is exactly what the Coquilla group wanted.
They forced Akito to riot, and then openly massacred Akito in the name of suppressing the thugs, greatly reducing Akito's power, thereby eliminating Akito's power and achieving elimination.
The purpose of the threat contained in Mingren.
It can be said that the Spaniards are quite satisfied with the current situation.
They are just waiting for the final detonation of the small match.

Of course, this is really easy to handle.
As long as Coquilla wants to, as long as the Spaniards are ready, they can light the match at any time.
Let the conflict between the indigenous people and the Ming people explode, and then it will be time to solve the scourge of the Ming people once and for all.
But there was a situation at that time, that is, the fleet and infantry were going to attack Xiaoliuqiu, and then attack the coast of Ming Dynasty, so as to force Ming Dynasty to open sea trade.
Of course, it would be better if the Ming Dynasty could be severely beaten and forced to allow them to rent the port in Macau together with the Portuguese.
Of course, this would be difficult to do.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty was not very good at treating their so-called barbarians on the issue of land.
He is extremely tough when it comes to people, but how will you know if you don't try.
So the plot against the Ming people in the Philippines was postponed, waiting for the fleet and infantry to return from the Ming Dynasty before dealing with it.
Anyway, the Ming people in Luzon are now meat on the chopping board, and they can eat whatever they want, following the Spanish wish.
However, Coquilla and others never expected that they were waiting for such news, which was simply unacceptable.
Coquilla believed that the more than 300 sailors on the two warships were crazy to shirk their responsibilities.
Such a warship It's impossible to lose everything like this.
But no matter how they coerced or lured them, they couldn't make these sailors change their stories.
They all spoke in unison, and their voices were surprisingly consistent.
This was weird.
Either these people had their souls taken away by the devil, or it was true at this time, which meant that Akito was fighting They are so powerful that the coalition forces are no match at all.
But this is too unscientific, isn't it?
If Mingren's infantry can still have some fighting strength due to its large number of people, the Spaniard believes that, but Mingren's fleet is so fierce, how is it possible?
But this is the reality.
This defeat also hollowed out the foundation of the Philippine garrison.
Today, the Manila garrison has been reduced by two-thirds.
It can be said that there is no spare power to carry out any crusade.
Therefore, the suppression and plot against Akito can only be suspended. .
Two months later, envoys from the Netherlands from Jakarta landed on the docks of Manila.
Ordinarily, the two families were the opposing sides of the Thirty Years War in Europe.
They had been fighting for more than ten years in Europe and were truly mortal enemies.
However, for the sake of profit, the English had to persuade them to join forces to attack the Ming Dynasty.
However, the relationship between the two families is still extremely antagonistic.
In recent months, conflicts have continued between the southern Philippines and northern Jakarta.
The Netherlands continued to harass the Spanish sailing ships returning to Europe passing through the Batavia waters, and was still plotting against the Philippines.
After all, the location of the Philippines was too important.
It was much closer to the wealthy Ming Dynasty than Jakarta.
But now for the common enemy Zhao Lie, the Dutch envoys once again set foot on the land of Manila.
To be continued
