Chapter 851: The fleet faces west
The chief of the largest tribe on the island of Cebu is called Raduhar, and after learning of the changes here, he once doubted the authenticity of the news, after all, he had long learned the power of the Spaniards.
However, he soon confirmed the authenticity of the news, and learned that it was the envoy of the Celestial Empire who led the fleet to wipe out the Spaniards, and immediately ran to Fort San Petro to ask for an audience.
"See the angels!" Raduhar only came with a few entourages, and when he entered the door, he knelt down to Lin Haoran and bowed.
Lin Haoran looked at Raduhar who was kneeling on the ground, but reprimanded with a straight face: "Raduhar, you allow these Western demons to entrench here, from helping them to plague the entire South Seas, you are guilty!" ”
"Angel, wronged!" Raduhar immediately cried out, and then explained with tears in his eyes: "It's not that our tribe connived at them to entrench here, it's actually these Western ...... Western demons occupy the territory of our tribe and enslave our people, please Angel Mingjian! ”
This is not all a lie, as the Spaniards slowly revealed their murderous nature as they built their base here.
While some adventurers were willing to exchange food or spices with the tribes, some Spaniards preferred to loot and negotiate with them with guns and cannons, and many of their compatriots died at the hands of the Spaniards.
Now that the Spaniards have been beaten away, Radujar is actually very happy in his heart.
Lin Haoran snorted coldly, and continued to say with a straight face: "The envoy will believe you!" It's just that the envoy wants to stay here for a few days, and he also has to clean up the Western demons, and he also asks Chief Raduhar to help the envoy! ”
"The villain must be sent by the angels!" Raduhar rejoiced in his heart and respectfully expressed his loyalty.
Dealing with the defeated Spaniards, Lin Haoran did not mean to stop there, but showed a posture of driving them all out, wanting to take this opportunity to completely wipe them out.
It's not that Lin Haoran is cruel, but he knows how powerful Spain is in this era. Only by scaring those Spanish adventurers and driving them to look elsewhere for wealth will they not forget the Filipino community.
In the next Ming Dynasty's purge of the Spanish and mercenaries, Radujar, the indigenous chieftain, was indeed very hard-working, assisting the Ming army to eliminate the remnants of the Spaniards.
Lin Lei was born in Leizhouwei and is a well-known ruthless character in Leizhouwei, and now serves as the position of Guanghaiwei's 100 households. When he learned that Lin Haoran had summoned him, he was the first to go to see it.
What puzzled him was that as soon as he walked into the room, he saw an open box of gold, silver and jewelry, but he pretended to ignore it and saluted respectfully: "The last general, Lin Lei, see Lord Qincha!" ”
"Lin Baihu, can you see this box of gold, silver and jewelry?" Lin Haoran sat in his position with tea, and went straight to the point.
Lin Lei swallowed and spit, and replied stubbornly: "See! ”
"As long as you take your subordinates to stay here for three months, you can return to Guanghaiwei with this box of gold, silver and jewelry, and the official will not treat you badly!" Lin Haoran promised.
Lin Lei put down his hanging heart, and immediately promised decisively: "Thank you for cultivating!" ”
Not to mention the value of this box of gold, silver and jewelry, Lin Haoran's cultivation alone is not something that money can weigh. Like Duan Dalu and Qiao Yifeng, who led the team this time, they were just small flags and general flags two years ago.
Lin Haoran observed Lin Lei's reaction, and seemed very satisfied in his heart, believing that he could help the United Business Group to defend this place. And with this time, the people of the United Business Group must have the ability to take over and completely attribute this stronghold to the Ming Dynasty.
As long as time is given, the entire Philippine archipelago will be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Lin spent six days on Cebu Island, exerting all his might to wipe out the remnants of the Spanish elements one by one, while deliberately deterring neighboring Mindanao by force.
Mindanao is located in the southern part of the Philippine archipelago and is the second largest island after Luzon, but the situation on this island is more complicated than that of Luzon.
The news of the Ming fleet's elimination of the "Western Demons" spread on the island, which greatly relieved many of their tribes, and at the same time welcomed this suzerain, which is known as benevolence and righteousness.
After leaving Cebu Island, Lin still did not go to Sulu Island, but continued south to Mindanao. As an envoy of the Celestial Empire, he received the tribal chiefs and gave them some gifts to deepen their friendship.
Yang Chunlai and others were undoubtedly veterans in the business field, exchanging Leizhou cloth, ceramics and iron pots and other items with the inhabitants of the tribe for spices and other items, thus establishing commodity trade relations.
Interests are undoubtedly the bond that maintains the relationship. Not to mention that the Spaniards would not be as generous as Yang Chunlai and others, and the Spaniards could not come up with such practical daily necessities, which made the tribe more welcoming to the Ming fleet.
After leaving Mindanao, the fleet led by Lin Haoran had already completed the entire Philippine Islands, and did not choose to continue south, but chose to go west to Sulu.
The state of Sulu has always been friendly to the Ming Dynasty, especially the bloodline of the Eastern King has always lived in the Ming Dynasty. For the arrival of the Ming fleet, the three kings of Sulu all showed great enthusiasm and went to the dock to greet Lin Haoran very respectfully.
Of course, Lin Haoran's fleet uprooted Spain, and it also made them more aware of the strength of the Ming fleet, so they naturally had to be more respectful.
Lin Haoran only stayed in Sulu for one day before choosing to leave.
After leaving Sulu, it headed south to Kalimantan, the third largest island in the world, and the vast majority of Kalimantan's territory is now owned by the mud country.
Somewhat coincidentally, the Ming Dynasty had the tombs of two overseas vassal kings, and these two overseas vassal kings happened to belong to neighboring countries. One is the previously mentioned king of Sulu East, and the other is the mausoleum of the king of mud.
In the sixth year of Yongle, the king of mud, Mana Jagana, brought his wife, younger siblings, children, and courtiers, a total of more than 150 people, to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the states and counties that passed through on the way from Fujian to Nanjing were all warmly received.
In October of the sixth year of Yongle, King Mana Jaja suddenly contracted a sudden illness, and the rescue was ineffective after the consultation of the imperial doctor, and he died in the same hall at the age of 28, and left a will before his death: "The body is buried in China".
At present, the mud kingdom is more powerful, but it adopts a feudal system, and there are many princes in its territory.
Thanks to the friendly relations between the two countries, King Boni seemed to receive Lin Haoran very warmly, and he also chose to join the "anti-Western alliance" proposed by Lin Haoran.
After leaving the muddy country, Lin Haoran led the fleet towards Malacca, so that the Portuguese occupying Malacca were like a great enemy, and a big battle seemed to be about to break out.
