Just as the five clippers were about to surround the escaped boats, a ship with a five-star red flag approached at night. This is not an official boat, but a fishing boat for the inhabitants of Luzon. The sudden encounter was not in the previous plan.

The soldiers, accustomed to the power of the island of Polilo, saw the fishing boats, and after only a moment of hesitation, made the decision to sink both ships so that the incident could not be revealed.

Originally, after seeing the five-star flag, the young men who escaped thought they had seen a savior, but when they saw that the five-star ship had no combat power, on the contrary, the enemy's ships continued to fire arrows, and did not let them go, then they knew that they had affected others, so they shouted again and again, reported their identity and purpose, and at the same time, asked the people of the five-star ship to leave here immediately, not to be affected.

It's just that it's too late to say anything at this time, so I chose to do it, and of course I won't let anyone leave here. Five Filipino clippers came at a rapid pace, constantly attacking, and one of them was equipped with artillery, and one shot hit the fishing boat on Luzon, causing it to crumble.

The situation was so dangerous that the crews of the fishing boats began to abandon the ship, and some of them took advantage of the night to row straight in the direction of the port of Luzon with a wooden plank, and they had tears in their eyes to pass back the news of the attack by the Philippines. They clearly remembered that Li Sheng, the new governor of Luzon Province, once said that as long as the five-star red flag was hoisted, no one in this sea area would embarrass them, otherwise they would be hit back tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold.

The five big Philippine clippers continued to attack, and after an hour, the two ships that were surrounded were sunk one after another, and then they inspected the sea again, killing more than a dozen crew members who were swimming in the sea, and after no one survived, they whistled and left triumphantly.

This battle is known as the Sorrow of Luzon in the history of the Yang family.

Since Yang Chendong subdued Kaohsiung for his use, until now in the past eight years, all ships flying the five-star red flag have not been attacked unprovoked, and the Philippines has set a precedent.

People who can walk on the sea all year round, needless to say, have very good talents. Wang Li, the first mate of the fishing boat belonging to Luzon Province, belongs to the kind of person who is particularly good at water. He jumped into his hands with a plank after the boat was hit, and because of his fast swimming speed, he was able to get out of the patrol range of the Philippine clippers.

After that, Wang Li exerted all his strength, and with experience, he found the right direction in the dark sea, and finally rescued the exhausted ships that encountered other sea fishing when he was exhausted two days later. The first thing he said when he woke up after waiting to be poured hot rice soup was that there was danger ahead, and he wanted to see Governor Li Sheng, so he fainted.

The sea fishing vessels were approved only after paying money to the Luzon provincial government, and they were also related. Someone recognized the first mate, and the captain ordered them to return to Luzon Port, and a day later Wang Li and they returned to Luzon, and then everyone surrounded and protected them and went straight to the provincial government.

Governor Li Sheng received them warmly, and after learning what had happened, he was very angry, and expressed in front of hundreds of sea fishing crew members that they would definitely send someone to investigate this matter immediately, and if everything was true, the Philippines would have to give an explanation. stand corrected

Apologies and reparations are necessary, otherwise, the Five Star Army has the right to seek justice by force.

That's what Li Sheng said, and that's what he did. He summoned Hang He, the commander of the Luzon garrison, and ordered him to go to the place of the accident to prove that there had been a naval battle, and not that the ships were damaged by man-made or natural weather. In short, there must be a piece of evidence.

Speaking of which, there are not many soldiers stationed in the Yang family on Luzon. In addition to the military strength of 2,000 people in a garrison regiment, there is a public security force of 3,000 or 4,000 people. It's just that the public security is more scattered, and it is okay to maintain law and order in peacetime, but once a foreign war occurs, the garrison regiment still needs to move first.

After Hang He received the task, he set off with the clipper left behind by the Five-Star Army, and headed straight for a location not far from Polillo Island. In anticipation of this, Li Sheng also telegraphed what had happened to the higher-level department, the Red Embedded City Lord's Mansion, requesting that if things changed, the Five-Star Army and Navy could support them.

The City Lord's Mansion of Chiji City, the deputy city lord in charge of military affairs sent this telegram to Yu Qian, and the sound of slamming the table sounded.

Someone once commented on Taiqian, saying that he was loyal to the people of the Ming Dynasty, not to an emperor in the dynasty. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the people, and it is precisely because of this that he has more language with Yang Chendong, so that he can concentrate on doing things after being robbed here by a dark method.

Now that he heard that someone had taken the initiative to provoke the power of the Five-Star Army, he immediately asked his assistant to immediately contact Kaohsiung, deputy commander of the navy, and he wanted to meet with him for a meeting.

Just over an hour later, the deputy commander of Kaohsiung rode a bicycle to the city lord's mansion, and the two bigwigs had a detailed consultation on the matter of Luzon Island, and then they unified their understanding, and finally made a decision to report this matter to the sixth young master. They all believe that this matter has touched Yang Chendong's bottom line, and if they report it, they can get a faster and better solution.

In the palace, Yang Chendong was walking with the eldest lady Hu Yan.

Women with bodies always like to be sentimental, so Yang Chendong has time to walk with him, which not only comforts his mood, but also helps to exercise his body, which is really a double win. Suddenly, Yu Qian and Kaohsiung came together, and intuitively told him that this must be a big deal.

"Dongshuai, it's important to get down to business, you can go quickly. I went to talk to my second sister and asked for some good remedies for the fetus by the way. Hu Yan said very understandingly.

"Okay, be careful when you walk." Yang Chendong smiled and watched Hu Yan leave. But when he turned around, his expression had become much more solemn, and it was needless to say that it was an important thing to be able to come to see him with the city lord and the deputy commander of the navy. If Kaohsiung came with him, not Leng Song, the deputy commander of the army, it is likely to have something to do with maritime affairs.

Yang Chendong appeared quickly, Yu Qian and Kaohsiung didn't even finish a cup of tea, and he came to the living room. Seeing that the two of them were about to get up, he made a gesture to ask for a seat, then sat down on the chair in the middle and said, "Tell me, is there something unexpected happening?" ”

"The sixth young master is wise." Kaohsiung slapped a sycophant.

Yu Qian was much calmer, and he sent Li Sheng, the city lord (governor).

The telegram was sent to Yang Chendong and said: "King Wunan, the lord of Li Cheng sent a telegram, saying that a fishing boat of Song Cheng (Yang's name for Luzon Island) was attacked, and according to Wang Li, the first mate who fled back, it was the hand of the clipper of the newly established Dafei Kingdom. ”

Yang Chendong took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and then raised his head, "The telegram said that the fishing boat was hung with a five-star flag, does anyone dare to do it?" ”

"Yes, Sixth Young Master. This is what makes us angry, they ignore our flag, which is clearly a provocation. It's just that we didn't have too many immigrants in our hands a while ago, and in addition to the fact that those islands were too loosely distributed, and when the New Second Army was formed, North Korea provoked trouble, so we didn't send troops to them. But this has become the reason why they despise us, and it is really too deceitful, and I think that we should immediately send troops to Songcheng to declare our sovereignty, and if necessary, we can strengthen maritime patrols as a deterrent. As the deputy commander of the navy, the de facto ruler, Kaohsiung's speech represents the meaning of the entire navy.

Listening to Kaohsiung's report, Yang Chendong's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Is this what your navy means, or is this what the City Lord's Mansion means?" ”

"The City Lord's Mansion still wants to wait for the latest telegram, doesn't it mean that Hang He, the head of the Song City Garrison Regiment, has already gone to investigate?" Yu Qian expressed his calculating views. It can be seen that he wants to get the evidence first, which is also in line with the Han people's principle of doing things, paying attention to planning before acting.

"The results of the investigation? Hehe, is it really that important? Yang Chendong suddenly smiled, which suddenly made Yu Qian and Kaohsiung a little confused, they didn't understand what Yang Chendong meant.

Without waiting for the two of them to figure it out, Yang Chendong had already spoken, "They have all sunk our ships, when will we wait?" I think we should order the gathering of troops now, and give this bold and reckless Filipino country a powerful look. ”

"Do it now? But we don't have enough evidence yet. Yu Qian was surprised when he heard that Yang Chendong was so bold and decided to send troops.

"Evidence? Why do you have to have evidence, don't you know what it means to have nothing? Besides, it is already a fact that our fishing boat was sunk, and the only one who can do this in that area of water, and the only one who has the ability to do this is the Philippine army, so what do we have to wait for? Yang Chendong said with a sneer.

In later generations, there are three words that do not know how much the development of the country has been restricted, and considering various reasons, some things have to be forbearance. Now that the Yang navy is so powerful, it's time to return it to the other with its own way.

As the founder of the Yang system and the commander of the three armies of the Yang family, Yang Chendong immediately issued this order, and the people below naturally had to obey. In addition, in this matter, it is indeed the Philippine country that provoked first, and it is reasonable to send a large army to give an appropriate counterattack.

Yu Qian and Kaohsiung quickly agreed to Yang Chendong's resolution, but what they didn't know was that this time Yang Chendong didn't just want to teach the Great Philippines a small lesson, but rushed to destroy the country when he made a move. There are already 600,000 people who have learned a skill and read and can read and write in Chichicheng who are ready to move, and under the war of the Southern Ming Dynasty, many Han people rush to the Langshan Containment Array every day and enter Chichicheng in a different way.
