Chapter 6 Ming

The two generals had planned for the escape from Luzon to the south.

From planning to defecting in the middle of the night, the two of them actually collected more than 20,000 taels of silver at the Longmen.

This does not include the gold, silver and fine gold collected by thousands of rebel officers and soldiers.

And these will become their start-up capital in Luzon.

Perhaps it was God's last pity for the Han people.

This time on the trip to Luzon, the fleet did not encounter bad weather.

With the strong wind, the fleet sailed for more than ten days in a row.

"Strait, shore..."

One morning, the officers and soldiers at the watchtower suddenly shouted.

The heart-wrenching roar woke everyone up.

Everyone ran towards the bow of the ship.

I saw a piece of land appearing in front of everyone at the junction of the sea and the sky.

"ah!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and infected everyone in an instant. Everyone shouted in unison at the bow of the boat, bursting into tears.

Liu Yu was also ecstatic and stood on the bow of the boat and looked out.

Looking at the gradually clear land between the sky not far away,

Liu Yu knew that his own stage had finally arrived.

The fleet began to approach the coast, and some smaller bird boats and centipede boats were loaded with officers and soldiers to sail towards the shore quickly.

The place they chose to land on the west coast of Luzon, close to the plains.

Luzon Island, in the northern part of the Philippines.

Also known as Little Luzon.

The south is Manila, the core area under Spanish rule.

But when the group fled south to Luzon really set foot on the coast of Luzon, a problem inevitably appeared in front of Liu Yu and more than a thousand Zheng soldiers.

How to face the Spanish.

late at night,

The lights on the boat are brightly lit,

In the cabin, Xiao Wu, Huang Liangji, Liu Yu's uncle and nephew, and King Lu were discussing some necessary matters.

"We have been running away for a while." Xiao Wudao.

"Yes, we can't use the title Zheng anymore." Huang Liangji glanced at the generals present.

"As far as you see, we should drive the flag." Xiao Wu looked at the four people present and asked.

"It's better to use the Ming flag." Huang Liangji said.

"We were going to overthrow the Qing court, so it would be easier to win over the people's hearts with the names of the previous dynasty, let alone a prince." Huang Liangji glanced at the silent King Lu, and suggested to everyone.

"No."

"You must never use the title of Ming." Liu Quan shook his head.

"Why." Seeing that Liu Quan rejected his proposal, Huang Liangji was very dissatisfied.

"Don't forget that we only have more than 1,000 people now, and we cannot face the Spaniards. If we use the Ming flag, we will be vulnerable to the Qing Dynasty. If the Spaniards and the Qing Dynasty are united, how should we deal with ourselves?" Liu Quan analyzed.

This is naturally what Liu Yu mentioned to Liu Quan.

"That's in your opinion." Xiao Wu asked.

Liu Quan was also in trouble, and he had no good opinions.

"Let's just take a clear flag." Xiao Wu nodded.

"Luzon was not a place to stay for a long time."

"The reason we came here is because we were defeated and urgently needed the local Han people in Luzon's local Han people, and the food and grass. Using the banner of the previous dynasty can resonate with the Han people." Xiao Wu affirmed Huang Liangji's proposal.

"Then we must consider the current form now." He Bin then led to more important questions.

After all, he doesn't want to make too much debate on the issue of any banner.

"At this stage, we are just stationed in the beach area." Liu Quan analyzed with his fingers horizontally on the map.

"Some people in our fleet have been to Luzon. I have sent some of them out as scouts. I believe that the actual situation will be obtained soon." Liu Quan explained to the others.

"We landed in the northwest district of Luzon, with the main terrain being plains and hills." Liu Yu took over.

"In order to avoid the alertness of the Flangers stationed in Lavague, we deliberately avoided this port town." Xiao Wu looked at the Luzon map and said.

Speaking of which, this Luzon map was drawn by the country's surname when he wanted to attack Luzon and sent people to Luzon.

After the Guo family passed away, the Luzon picture was taken by Xiao Wu, and it was used today.

"If our sailing route is correct, the place we landed should be near Vigan." Looking at the Luzon map, Xiao Wu pointed at the lower place of Lavag.

"Vigan is a place where Folang Ji people are heavily guarding,"

"We must immediately build a city on favorable terrain and bring some light artillery ashore as city guard cannons, in order to block the Spanish's encirclement and suppression." Xiao Wudao.

"What should I do if the warship is carried on the cannon ashore?" Huang Liangji asked.

"We should do what we should build a city, gather Han people, and resist the colonial army of the Folangji people." Liu Yu said.

Liu Yu does not intend to challenge the status of the Spaniards here at this stage.

With the current 1,000 people, they tried to attack Manila City, which was a fool.

There are actually these considerations when heading south to Luzon.

There are still a large number of Han people in Luzon.

Although the Spanish and local indigenous peoples carried out four massacres against the Han people, killing thousands of Han people.

However, due to the wars in the late Ming Dynasty, countless Han people along the coast had to go south to South Asia to pray for a way out, so the number of Han people in Luzon and other places was still quite considerable.

At the same time, Luzon is rich in gold, silver and grain, and it is also a transit station for trade. Occupying Luzon Island can not only solve the problem of money and grain, but also provide a lot of manpower.

"I agree with Brother Liu." King Lu, who had been silent, actually spoke at this time.

"Using our dynasty flag to gather the Han people who fled overseas, turn the wilderness into kingly land, and provide the Han people with rest and rest. This is what we should do." King Lu said softly, word by word.

That night, after consultation by everyone, it was decided to use Ming as the banner.

At the same time, continue to use Yongli as the year name.

After more than twenty years, the Han army raised the Ming flag again and established the Ming regime in Luzon overseas.

The next day, the scouts who were familiar with the Luzon terrain sent out by Liu Quan also sent back the information.

After making complete preparations,
