After receiving the direct order of the sixth young master, the security agency and CIA agents lurking on Mindanao began to get busy in full swing. Under the opening of money, some officials belonging to the Great Philippines fell one after another, and the truth was soon revealed. Two investigation telegrams were also sent to Yang Chendong.

"Silver Mountain! Silver! Seeing these contents recorded in the telegram, Yang Chendong immediately laughed, he finally knew why Abu Bakr would rather not die than stay on the island, it turned out that a silver mountain had been found on Mindanao.

In Yang Chendong's memory, there were a lot of gold and silver mines on the island, which had been recorded in history. But he really doesn't know if there is a silver mountain silver mine on Mindanao. Perhaps these silver mines were secretly mined and transported away, so there is no record.

Anyway, it's good news. Originally, I wanted to wait to see if there were other pirate organizations that wanted to fight against the five-star army for silver, but now it seems that we can't wait. The events in Laos and Cambodia cannot wait, and the silver mines on Medan cannot wait. Who knows how much has been mined now, and how much Abu Bakr is ready to take with him?

"Fence up, the 123rd Division each sent another regiment to block the exit of Mindanao to the south, and without an order, not a single enemy ship was allowed to leave." After making up his mind, Yang Chendong was not ready to let Abu Bakr go. In this way he was to keep all the silver on the island.

"Yes." Kaohsiung gave a military salute and quickly left. Just two days later, the last gap in the outlying islands was closed. In the early morning of the third day, the 1st Army launched a general order for the whole army to attack, and for a time the entire periphery of Mindanao was filled with the sound of artillery, and all the defensive measures that had been dug up before were also wiped out in an instant.

Abu Bakr, who was still asleep, was awakened by the sound of artillery, and then he heard the bad news, after half an hour of shelling, the five-star naval division had begun to land in the north.

"What's going on? Didn't we prepare a lot of defensive offensives? There is also the artillery lurking in the shadows, how can the Five-Star Army still land on the island so smoothly? Abu Bakr, who was dressed in pajamas, grabbed Aquino's collar and scolded him in a frenzied rage.

"Your Majesty, someone must have betrayed our military map. As you know, there are many people who know about this matter, and since the siege of the island by the Five-Star Army, people are panicking, and there are many people who are familiar with foreign countries. Aquino, the general on whom Abu Bakr relied on, said with a bitter face. At this moment, he wanted to say that it was not that he was incompetent, but that the enemy was too cunning.

Letting go of his hand, his eyes were a little unremarkable, Abu Bakr knew that once the Five Star Army landed on the island, it would be impossible for him to continue mining silver mines, and even if he didn't make a good one, he couldn't get out of here safely.

"No, you can't just die like this, retreat immediately, retreat immediately." It was as if Abu Bakr had suddenly come to his senses. He didn't flee because he still wanted to mine more silver mines, and he also wanted to use heavy money to attract more people to fight against the Five Star Army to buy time for himself to open mines. But what he didn't expect was that the sudden accident in the rear interrupted Yang Chendong's idea of continuing fishing, and he couldn't wait for him to finally make a move, but hit Abbberke

You were caught off guard.

Abu Bakr prepared to retreat, and boxes of silver nuggets that had been prepared were lifted from the palace and carried to the nearby docks. And when these silver taels were only halfway shipped, bad luck came, and a large number of warships flying the five-star flag appeared in the south, and their way back was blocked.

"Rush out, rush out of a bloody path. But whoever can kill a hole will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels! Enraged, Abu Bakr shouted that he did not want to die, let alone be robbed of the money, so he ordered a heavy reward.

There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward. After the reward order was issued, sure enough, some outlaws went straight to the warships on the docks, and they wanted to gamble and fight. Just waiting to come to the dock, the scene in front of him broke everyone's illusions, the huge dock, not even a whole ship could be seen, all of them were bombed.

Without a warship, how can you escape at sea?

When the news reached Abu Bakr's ears again, his body staggered, and he knew that this time he was too greedy to miss the time to escape. It's just that at this point, it was useless to say anything, so he called the general Aquino and gave him the decision to gather his army and fight a decisive battle with the five-star army and naval division on the island.

Abu Bakr and others once again withdrew to the city of Malalag in the royal capital, where 30,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 people were gathered, and tung oil, stones and other things were prepared, and 30 artillery pieces were also prepared to defend the four cities.

It is worth mentioning that there are more than 5,000 Han people in the city, and they are all descendants of the Han people who were ordered by Abu Bakr to be found from various islands.

During the attack on the port of Luzon, the soldiers of the garrison there would rather die in battle than fire a single shot at the local people, and this story has long been reported. Even if the Five-Star Army loves the people so much, there are 5,000 Han people in the city, they can't bombard their own people.

Abu Bakr retreated to the royal capital, and the outer defense of Mindanao, which was already precarious, instantly collapsed itself, many generals with troops raised white flags, and the Haiyi Army successfully landed and landed ashore from various places, and the huge island of Mindanao was occupied by naval soldiers running around on bicycles in just three days. Many of these cities were captured without firing a single shot.

It has only been more than a year since the establishment of the Great Philippine State, and there is no background in it, the people cannot talk about returning to their hearts, and the soldiers cannot talk about loyalty. Not to mention that Abu Bakr ruled with the utmost exploitative power, which made him alienate himself from the local people, and it was impossible to point to such a person to be loyal to him.

Yang Chendong rode with a thousand dragon guards, bypassed some important cities, and on the third day, he came to the place where the silver mine promoted by the intelligence department was located, that is, in the western part of Mindanao, in the future Cotabato area.

When you first come here, you can also see a lot of local people shuttling here, and they will also hold out pieces of silver mines during the round-trip, with a happy face.

"Presumptuous, fence off." Yang Er, who followed, saw that so many silver mines were about to be snatched away

Immediately furious, roaring loudly, a thousand black-clothed dragon guards immediately surrounded them, and there was a big picture of them going to kill if they didn't put down the silver mine.

"Forget it, they will also be the people under our rule in the future." Yang Chendong shook his head, he would not be soft on the real enemy, but for the defenseless people, he couldn't be so ruthless.

Long Wei let go of a road, and the local people were scattered. Long Wei took control of this place and issued a strict order, if there are people watching here, it can only be killed.

Yang Chendong dismounted and walked into this silver mine. When I saw that this place was seriously damaged because of indiscriminate mining, I couldn't help but gasp in distress. Even Yang Er, who had never taken Yin Liang seriously, couldn't help but say, "Young Master, this is too wasteful. ”

"Yes, it's too wasteful, the circulation of silver is already lost, and the more it is used, the less it is, and even if there are more silver mines in the long run, it will not help." Yang Chendong nodded in agreement. At this moment, he had the idea of printing his own money.

This idea is not new, but has been considered before, but it has not been mature.

To say that silver is indeed a good thing, it is the best thing in circulation after gold bars in any era and era. But why did it stop later? Isn't it because the consumption is too great? Someone once did a survey, after a few years of a tael of silver, after continuous operation and friction, in the end only half of the tael remained, which is equivalent to the shrinkage of wealth, and in the long run, more silver is not enough to consume like this. Replacing paper money with paper money is an inevitable development trend in the future.

Today's Yang Chendong is no longer a scholar who has no soldiers and no power, the power in his hands is already very large, and Yang goods have been in short supply, as long as they advocate first, paper money is very likely to become a circulating thing to replace gold and silver.

"Yang Er, send someone to contact the nearest naval soldier and ask them to seal this place, and when the silver mining team appears, when the mining is being carried out, you can't waste a point." Yang Chendong stretched out his hand to touch the mountain, which had already mined one-fifth of the mountain, and said distressedly.

A day later, Yang Chendong left the mine with a thousand dragon guards, and another day later came to the city of Malalag. Here, Kaohsiung, the commander of the 1st Hai Army, had already led the main force of the 1st Hai Division to prepare for the siege and siege of the city here.

"How's it going in the city?" In the big camp five miles away from the city, Yang Chendong opened his mouth and asked Kaohsiung.

"Report to the sixth young master, there are about 30,000 Philippine soldiers in the city, and more than 300,000 local people, among them... Among them, there are more than 5,000 Han people. When Kaohsiung said the last sentence, he was a little hesitant.

"And the Han people?" When Yang Chendong heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, obviously this result was a bit unexpected to him.

"Yes, they are all Han Chinese and Han Chinese descendants throughout the archipelago. It was Abu Bakr who knew about our policy towards the people, especially the Han people, so he deliberately prepared this hand, in order to make us throw a rat into the trap. Kaohsiung was a little angry when he said these things, and he was obviously very indignant at Abu Bakr's shamelessness.
