When Ying Ming and his army arrived at the island across the ocean with his large army after a brief seaworthiness, Havana almost turned red.

The soldiers stationed here belonged to the Spanish West Indies Legion, most of whom were descendants of veterans, who had retired from the vast expanse of New Spain to the West Indies to guard against pirates.

The generals under Zhu Xiaoen who led the Restoration Army were General Wude, Ailan Qianhu Chen Yuhan, and the chief instructor of the Restoration Army; Leading the team of more than 400 horses was General Wu Luo and Deputy Qianhu Han Jinhuan, and the two of them were fellow villagers.

After the Battle of Lin Laihai, they all entered the Nanyang Lecture Hall with military merits as the descendants of Lin Manjue, and the time of admission was late, and when they entered the Beiyang Military Mansion, the training officers and the commanders were occupied by the senior brothers, and the two of them did not have outstanding results in the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and they did not have the good luck of Lin Hu'er, so they were relatively low in official positions.

As their ship approached the harbor, the Spanish soldiers stationed there seemed to want to dismount them, and four stone cannons fired huge stone projectiles into the sea.

Of course, their muzzles were not directed at the Ming fleet.

Even they deliberately turned the heavy and huge catapults to angles that would definitely not hit the Ming ship.

But this still made the two generals who led the fleet very angry, and the official letter of the report had been sent to the West India Council by Yang Dinh Xiang and Almansa five days earlier, and they had only set out from the port of Wee after approval.

What does this mean by firing guns?

After a brief exchange of flags, the two Rokko ships turned in unison and aimed their side guns at the fortress called 'Black Dragon', and the ship's gunners, Hyakyo, were ordered to aim their guns at the towering bell tower with the order to do as little as possible.

A salvo of bellhouse glass and the top of the spire collapsed, but no one died, except for one hapless horse in the fortress whose leg was broken by a cannonball that fell through the glass of the bellhouse.

The fortress did not return fire, the lookout on the mast shouted the news that they had surrendered, and in the binoculars of the two thousand households, they saw an iron-eating beast flag raised on the fortress with white walls called Black Dragon.

Although the commander of the fortress then came in small boats with the monks and guards to explain that the cannon fire was a misunderstanding, and the two generals did not cause further trouble, they knew the reason for the defenders' deterrence from opening fire.

All the Spanish legions only the defenders stationed here have the Iron Beast Flag, and the reason why they got this flag is also well known to the veterans who participated in the Battle of the Canyon - after landing, Han Jinhuan and Chen Yuhan gathered, and he said a word, which attracted great recognition from the other party.

"Bernal's soldiers."

Their connection to these Spanish legionnaires stationed at the Black Dragon Fortress in Havana was not only that.

In fact, most of these Spanish soldiers lost their father and brother six or seven years ago because of the first battle of Mingxi on the distant island of Linlai, when the two generals were only lowly battalion sergeants.

These young men then joined the army and marched under Bernal to 'Acapulco', where they were again defeated in the Second Minsi War.

The old and new hatreds are gone, and they can be erased by a treaty.

Both sides used artillery and naval guns, and although there were no casualties, the governor of Havana sent a ship to New Spain that day, and at the same time strictly ordered the monks to calm the mood of the soldiers and not to clash with the Ming army again.

The mood of the more than 400 Ming cavalry did not need Han Jinhuan to bother at all, first, they were not angry, and secondly, they could think about it, there were preachers around them, and there were military judges watching from above, and no one wanted to be unhappy with the Spaniards.

At this moment, Ying Ming's mentality can represent the cavalry of the banner army very well, and when the chief flag officer at the top asked him what he thought of this skirmish, he replied: "It is best to make a small matter, and the court has a big matter for me to do." ”

"It's really not good, and we're not afraid of him being defeated when we fight."

But if the vanguard army can endure it, it doesn't mean that everyone can endure it, and Chen Yuhan, a thousand households in the Restoration Army, is so anxious these days that he jumps to his feet...... He was almost unable to hold down the soldiers.

There was some war-derived hatred between the Ming army and Spain, but it was not deep, and after the victory in the war, no one regarded Spain as an enemy anymore.

But Zhu Xiaoen's Restoration Army was different, they were rescued from the plantation by the Ming army, they were recruited into the army by Zhu Xiaoen, and now they are well-equipped and well-trained, and their combat effectiveness and pride are increasing day by day.

Except for the Spaniards, who had ruined their country, the hatred continued unabated.

This kind of hatred is difficult to eliminate without experiencing a big victory, even if it is not usually expressed, but as long as there is a little spark, it will ignite a raging fire in people's hearts.

The two generals were in a dilemma.

"The order of the military government is for us to wait for news from General Chen, and to enter France under his guidance."

Although Chen Yuhan is a thousand households, he always feels that Han Jinhuan, who led four hundred Beiyang cavalry, is more valuable, "The current situation, we should get on the ship and go back to Wei Harbor, the Spanish side doesn't know when the letter will come, and if it is consumed here, someone will bleed sooner or later." ”

Han Jinhuan spread his hands and said: "I can't go back, but don't forget, before the expedition, you and I followed King Ailan to set up a military order in front of the yamen of the military palace. ”

They were waiting for news from Chen Jiujing, Shi Xiaolou had introduced the Duke of Guise of France before returning home, and the ship that informed the news should be on its way at this time.

They may stop in France, or Spain if things change, and then Zhu Xiaoen will lead the Restoration Army to Ireland, and Han Jinhuan waits for the opportunity.

In the months that followed, despite everyone's efforts to avoid conflict, the bloodshed took place outside Havana near a freshwater well near the port.

The Spanish soldier fetching water met the Fuguo soldiers at the well, turned from verbal spats to insults, and after hearing them wearing Ming military uniforms but speaking in the language of the aborigines, the Spanish captain drew his sword and stabbed a Fuguo soldier to death.

In the impression of most Spaniards, only the Ming army and them were in this land, and the others were not counted as people.

The matter did not end there, and in a situation that the Spaniards could not imagine, the Avengers fought back.

They were outnumbered by the Spaniards, five of them carrying three poles, but the other two carried heavy weapons—four-foot-nine-inch unsheathed knives on their shoulders.

The warriors wielding long knives scattered and slashed the Spanish squad, and the captain who did it was slashed and dragged back into the well.

In the end, at the cost of two deaths and three injuries, the impressive results of five deaths and two injuries were obtained.

When their king, Zhu Xiaoen, learned about this, he was not at all like the two generals, who were in a hurry to transfer all their forces back to the ship, intending to confront the defenders of the Black Dragon Fortress in Havana.

The first thing Prince Xiao En did was to give them five merits, but his letter didn't have a chance to be sent.

Because Chen Jiujing's messenger came, the letter said that the situation of Fa Lanxi was very complicated, but he still had a way, and asked the royal department of Alan to go to Bilbao with a guide to find him.
