Chapter 262: Classmates

On the battlefield, Yang Ce's doubts in his heart were no less than those of Fu Yuan.

He came to the New World to fight.

In the Atlantic, he had the privilege of witnessing Alva's obscured Spanish fleet sailing far to the east, when the Ming fleet, cruising on the periphery, spotted them and expelled him with artillery warnings.

There is no way, between Yang Ce, Alva and Chen Jiujing, the vision is different.

The Spanish fleet could not find Yang Ce, but Chen Jiujing could.

Of course, even if Chen Jiujing's fleet didn't fire a warning shot, Yang Ce wouldn't have run to attack the navy in a hot head—especially the navy, which was undergoing a large-scale military move.

He only saw an opportunity, a chance to unite the world!

Although he obtained a few maps from the Spanish nobles, it was too difficult to accurately land in the port of Veracruz, which was closest to Mexico City, because the Western nobles who had interrogated the captives had told him how desolate the east coast of the New World was.

It was a large no-man's land dotted with several roads and prosperous towns, and his soldiers had little baggage, so he had to dock the harbor accurately.

That's why he decided to sail westward, and when he saw merchant ships shelling out of range, he drove them westward.

The merchant ships would take them to the port, and then they would continue westward, meet the merchants and continue to shell them out of range, and then drop themselves into the ports of the New World with great precision.

Yang Ce originally wanted to loot the port of Veracruz, which was obviously named by the Spaniards, and set it on fire, but it turned out that the construction workers at the port were speaking the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to buy food with the gold from the ship, and hired some people to lead the way to Mexico City.

"Halfway through the road, I bumped into you, and I heard the chief soldier Mingjin, and my bowl of mouth cannon was inserted with a medicine line and hurriedly asked my subordinates to pull it out."

In the Governor's Palace in Mexico City, Yang Ce, who was wearing Ottoman plate chain armor, sat on a Spanish-style square chair with his back straight, and said, "What's going on?" I asked the native craftsmen of the port, and they all said that this was New Spain, and I was not wrong, but how could it be the official army against it? ”

Just these last few words, Yang Ce pondered all the way.

How are they the Ming official army?

Isn't it?

Also the Oriental Military House?

The infantry drill codes have been changed, where is this?

Governor Yang Tingxiang was worried for several days, busy arranging defense in Mexico City, and at this moment his eyes drooped and suddenly became energetic: "You said earlier that you would come over and send someone to send me a letter, but it is really not possible to send a letter to Commander Yuan, you know so many generals, you came without a sound, and you also led the troops to put on a posture of coming to fight, to see what we have tossed!" ”

For a long time, Yang Ce, who defected to Lin Feng, felt that he had no relatives, but who knew that this time he landed in the New World, there were his acquaintances everywhere.

Yang Tingxiang, the governor of New Spain, lectured on the Wutang Wenjinshi students in Guangzhou Mansion, and was a celebrity among his last senior brothers; Yuan Zizhang, the new commander of New Spain, the first martial champion of the Wanli Dynasty, successively studied in Xuanfu Wutang and Guangzhou Fuwutang, and was a junior disciple one year younger than him in Guangzhou Jiangwutang.

Not to mention that there are four other junior disciples in the thousand households, and there is another hundred households who are his subordinates before entering the martial arts hall.

This is just acquaintance, Fu Yuan, the chief military officer of New Spain, needless to say, is like thunder, and the other three commanders below except Yuan Zizhang are also southern officers who have heard of it in the past.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire New Spain, including the two mixed-race Spanish legions, there were more than half a hundred people with real power in more than 1,000 households, and no more than 15 people who did not know or heard of the pirate leader Yang Ce.

Of these fifteen men, thirteen were Spanish officers.

Yuan Zizhang, who used to be a cavalry general, was much calmer, he sat opposite Yang Ce, crossed his hands on the table, and asked: "You are doing well at sea, and there are people in the Oriental Military Government who are going to sue every day, either Spanish or Portuguese, why do you want to land on the New World?" ”

A strong sense of absurdity surrounded Yang Ce, and since he was instructed by Gao Gong, the minister of Nanyang, to defect to Lin Afeng, he never thought that one day he would be able to sit with these old classmates.

I didn't even think that in Puebla earlier, they almost met each other.

After all, the identities are different, looking at these carved tiger breastplates, wearing decent military uniforms, and nailing the bronze medals of the running tiger, cheetah, and bear on the collar and the square table full of helmets, and then look down at yourself.

Helmet, he had a tall helmet snatched from the heads of the Arab caliphate's cavalry.

Armor, he was wearing the Ottoman 'sanjakbey', the plate chain armor worn by military commanders, and the hem was covered with crimson satin, which Lin Afeng asked for when he attacked Safi under the pretext of being a mercenary.

It is inconvenient for him to wear boots when he lives on a ship, in fact, most of the time he is barefoot, and the shoes he is wearing at the moment are not suitable for the landing improvised, and there are also the behavior of junior officers of the Ming army.

Yang Ce had mixed feelings in his heart.

At this moment, he complained a little, if he didn't go south but went north, would he be like them now, with three grades of official residence and glory?

He was ashamed of his complaints and envy.

But how can he not complain, and who can not envy him when he changes places?

Especially on the face, it is necessary to show that nothing happened.

"You also know that I defected to King Lin Feng." He raised his left fist to his mouth a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "On the eastern sea, in the past four months, countless nobles from the Western Kingdom have been returning to Europa by boat, and most of them have met me, and at first they wanted to exchange some ransom, and then they arrested one hundred and thirty-seven. ”

Yang Tingxiang, who was at the top, was drinking tea with a teacup, and when he heard this, his body stiffened suddenly, and he almost squirted out his nose, and coughed a few times before he eased up: "You arrested one hundred and thirty-seven Spanish nobles?" I've counted only one hundred and twenty-six people leaving here in the past few months! ”

"You caught eleven more than you left?"

Compared with Yang Tingxiang's gaffe, Yang Ce was very calm: "Your statistics are less, at least there are fifty that I haven't caught up, and there are still lucky ones who haven't met me, which must be more than the number you counted." ”

"From their mouths, I learned that it was because the Duke of the Western Kingdom was about to lead his army to leave the New World, and the reason for leaving was that he couldn't defeat Chen Shuai, and the Western Army was defeated."

Yang Ce's face was as usual: "I thought at the time, the Western Yin Yangshi and the king expanded westward, and the Eastern Chen Shuai led the army to expand eastward, since I heard the news of Chen Shuai, it means that the Ming Dynasty connected the world together, and only this New Spain in the middle was left." ”

"Don't laugh. I didn't know that you were the ones in power in New Spain, this place was called New Spain. Yang Ce was very innocent, he spread his hands and said: "New Spain has the governor of the Ming Dynasty and the general army of the Ming Dynasty, how do I know that I have been overseas for a long time?" ”

"So I think that too many prisoners on the left and right to ask for ransom will inevitably be attacked by the Spanish navy, so it is better to devote yourself to such a great cause, do your part for the Ming Dynasty, and penetrate New Spain."

"That's why I'm here."

Yang Ce scratched his ears and glanced at Yuan Zizhang with great disgust: "Who knew it was you!" ”
