Chapter 354 List
Of course, there was no movement in the castle, and there was no movement until Lin Feng vigorously pushed the stone-shooting cannon to smash the gate of the castle in the early morning.

Regaspi finally gave up on this fortified city, and took more than 400 of his men to go out from the north while Lin Afeng was resting. The troops were divided into two groups, all the way to the northeast to find Diego, and all the way to the southwest to ask for help from the local tribes in Cebu. .

The unguarded castle was easily captured by Lin Afeng, and everything that Regasby failed to take away was completely inherited by Lin Afeng.

Legaspi didn't have any luck on this day. The pirates who were ambushing in the forest to snatch the luggage waited for a whole night, and the riders who waited for Diego to deliver the message to the port of Cebu also waited for Legasby's The remnants were defeated.

The exhausted and thirsty rout army could not imagine that there were physiological ambushes within their sphere of influence. The dense bird guns and fire guns in the forest fired one after another, and the flying guns beat them into panic, and they could not find the ambush enemy at all. Where exactly is it? It seems that there are enemies everywhere around, almost collapsing at the touch of a finger.

The defeated army did not dare to go back the same way. They knew very well that Cebu Port, which had no defenders, had changed hands at this moment, so they could only flee to the native settlements on the island. Of course, some soldiers surrendered to the pirates, hoping to survive.

Legasbi's luck was much worse than the soldiers he sent to deliver the news. They went to the tribes of the aborigines in southern Cebu to ask for help. Thousands of troops, but not to help Regasby.

On the way, they trumpeted the conch shell, turned against and killed the Spaniards who led the team, and robbed their weapons and supplies. The army was in chaos for a while, and Regasby kept his vigilance to save his life, relying on the past on Cebu Island An old friend of mine just got a boat, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The news of Regasby's failure spread like the wind to the northeast port. Diego packed up everything he could take away from the port without hesitation, crossed to Malay by boat, and led his men to evacuate Cebu Island.

He has no point in staying here anymore.

No matter who imagined the victory, it came too soon, and Lin Feng himself did not expect it. He just captured the Cebu Port and completely won the entire island.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Xiyi could conquer the whole of Luzon with a few ships and hundreds of soldiers-Xiyi's conquest at sea was a little different from what he imagined.

Lin Afeng was not idle. After taking Cebu Port, he only rested for two days. While sending people to contact Chen Mu to inform him of the news, he then prepared the warship and sent Duke Zhuang to lead the local natives and a large number of pirates to fight back to the carbine. The north attacked Bannai.

Just like what Chen Mu often said to him, Chen Mu has always believed that he has extraordinary abilities, and his talent and intelligence are heroes who can break the earth and become kings in foreign countries.Although Lin Feng never thought he had that kind of talent, if given the chance, he would like to prove it.

When Duke Zhuang landed on Panay from the south of the island, a brutal war was going on on the island.

Chen Mu's advance army, led by Shao Tingda, Long Junxiong, and Qi Zhengyan, had already landed in Pannai one step ahead of Duke Zhuang.Shao Tingda led the flag troops under his command to support them, while Long Junxiong and Qi Zhengyan attacked from the edge of the island to the south from the left and right, sweeping across the ports where the Spanish garrisoned on the island.

They not only have fierce warriors, but also have a large number of artillery. It is not as difficult as Lin Afeng to attack Hong Kong and seize the city. What's more, the Xiyi garrison in Panay is far less than that in Cebu. Not soldiers yet.

These people are just supervisors who supervise the construction of monasteries and churches, and their combat power is not 01:30 worse than the phalanx soldiers under Regasbi's command.

Even Lin Afeng's pirates can defeat them.

The commander of Luzon's attack from north to south this time was Deng Zilong. Neither Chen Mu nor Chen Lin participated in this battle. It's not that he didn't want to, it was really impossible.

Because the first batch of officials sent by the imperial court to Luzon arrived, just looking at the list, Chen Mu had one head and two big heads, so he had to put down the war and return to Manila.

The imperial court got him five people, among them was Li Tao whom he had recommended, and none of the four other than him was a stupid official. heap.

But Chen Mu was terrified, very terrified.

"These few people should not be drafted by Gao Ge." In the secret room of the Nanyang Yamen in Manila, Chen Mu made a list and asked Xu Wei: "Mr. Xu, what does the imperial court mean by sending these four people here?"

There is a very luxurious list on the paper under Chen Mu.

Zhao Zhenji, the elder of the court two years ago, was very talented and tempered when he made peace with Alta. Jiajing court Alta besieged the city of Beijing, urged Jiajing not to make an alliance under the city, and urged the generals to dare to fight.Later, even Zhang Juzheng was not a bird in the cabinet.

As a result, Master Zhang welcomed Gao Gong back, and Zhao Zhenji was run off by Master Gao and returned home.

Chen Mu thought a lot, he was looking for someone important from the imperial court, but he didn't want the old man, so what's the matter with getting him a Wenyuan Pavilion scholar?

The Grand Scholar is here, and if the two of them disagree on the affairs of Luzon, should they listen to him or the Grand Scholar?
This is not over yet, Zhao Zhenji is followed by Tan Taichu, who has just been an official for a few years, and is called Tan Qingtian.

After Tan Taichu, it was Wang Ting, an old man who came from a family background, and later served as a magistrate, a prime minister over the river, and a governor over the grain storage, with a very good political reputation.It is very remarkable that he has also experienced the Japanese invasion. The three generals of the North and South of the Yangtze River were established because of his advice, and they are also officials at the department hall level.

The last one is even more powerful, Hai Rui.

What a high specification!

"Only this group of people are in the imperial court, and they can't be let go in a single province. Why are they all here in Luzon!"

Chen Mu has always felt that he is a fool here. He wants to recruit students and scholars from the imperial court to serve as county magistrates. He also said so in the letter to the cabinet.

Those preparatory officials who will teach and educate the people in the middle of the country to govern the people in the future, first come to Luzon to get acquainted with them, and then transfer back to the place where they are assigned in the middle of the court after they are done here. Isn't this a good way to reduce the chance of faint officials? ?
This is great, who are the people sent here!
Jin Yiwei is here, the governor is here, the minister is here, and even the Wenyuange University scholar is here, what is this for?
Xu Wei licked his beard, stared at the list for a while, swallowed, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Shuai, I have heard about these people, and the biggest connection between them is that they have offended Mr. Gaoge. Or be offended by Mr. Gao Ge."

Chen Mu's eyes widened, "Impossible! Mr. Gao Ge's temper can bring back those who have offended him? Even here!"

Just kidding, Gao Gong, Xu Jie, the head of the Wutang Mountain, was still in a hurry to get angry for a long time, let alone go to Luzon to become an uncle.

"That's true. Chen Shuai also said that this list should not be drawn up by Mr. Gao Ge."

Xu Wei said with a dignified face, "Your Majesty's dragon body is probably not in good health."
