Acapulko did not resist for too long under Lin Manjue's offensive, and the Ming army successfully entered the port that night.

This port is different from Chen Mu's imagination. Apart from the Spanish military camp, he could not even find a place where the soldiers could rest well.

In addition to temporary military buildings, it is like a large fishing village. It can be seen that it is either collapsed forts or low and ugly houses. Even the warehouses in the port are built in a very simple manner.

While riding a horse on the narrow and muddy street, Chen Mu pulled a handful of the walls of the mud house that was not greasy and flat outside the wooden frame. He pulled off a large piece of mud wall skin, and a ruler-long wheat straw was clenched out of the palm of his hand.

The port was cleared, and Fu Yuan rode a horse to catch up with Chen Mu and reported: "The port warehouse was out of stock, there was only some gunpowder and stone bullets. The ruins of the four forts were ordered by the subordinates to organize the flag army overnight. They were all wooden mud whistles, and the cannons could be dug out before tomorrow."

Chen Mu on the horse's back nodded slowly, and there was no cargo at the port as he expected. At the beginning of the battle to attack the port, the Western monk Acosta, who went south from Majiagang, said that this port is only the most prosperous in January every year, and it is not worth mentioning.

At the door of those dilapidated houses, the wooden door of women and children who had no time to escape opened slightly and exposed the gap. They looked at the Ming army who was arrogant and proudly walking through the streets, waiting to accept their unknown fate.

The Spanish garrison camp was in the north of the port, and it was first captured by Lin Manjue's guerrilla flag army, and at this time it became the main place for the Ming army to deal with post-war issues.

The number of defenders was much more than the Ming army imagined. The prisoners and surrendered soldiers were sitting or kneeling everywhere outside the camp, and they looked nearly a thousand people. They were disarmed and guarded by a hundred-house flag army under Lin Manjue's army.

Chen Mu, who was approaching the camp, picked up his eyelids and said to Lin Manjue who was approaching, "So many people?"

Lin Manjue could only smile bitterly and said, "My subordinate Hei King Kong has already found out the situation. There were originally 600 Western defenders. A few days ago, he followed the orders of Mexico City to recall more than 500 people, and only less than 100 people remained here."

"In order to deal with the Ming army that invaded the northeast, the Westerners left behind the army to gather all the male men in the port village, pulled up nearly two thousand troops to guard the troops, fired wooden spears, bows and arrows, and guarded our army. Only more than a hundred flag troops in our army were attacking the port..."

Lin Manjue said, looking back at the crowd who had surrendered or captured and said, "That's it. The subordinates did not tie them up, and the people tied up were all tied up by themselves."

Only then did Chen Mu understand that he would let the people who had not been trained and had no weapons participate in the war, and face Lin Manjue's troops with cannons and bird guns, and he would naturally be defeated at one touch.

"Those who can run away followed the defeated soldiers of the Western Army. Most of the families who did not run away were here voluntarily."

Finally, Lin Manjue added: "All of them are mixed-race, and their defense here is too lax."

Lax?

"It would be strange if they built a strong city on the west coast. The enemies of Spain were all in the east. What's the use of strengthening defense here? Just like the Ming Dynasty did not build a strong city in Xinming."

In fact, Chen Mu had another vicious metaphor for the Spanish West Coast of America, just like the slack of coastal defenses in all dynasties, because cognitively, the enemy would not come from the sea!

It's too late to realize it.

Lin Manjue nodded, as if this was true, but even so, Spain was too relaxed about the West Coast. It had been tense with the Ming Dynasty for several years since Luzon. They were not prepared at all, which was strange.

‘Maybe, the two courts are almost the same, and they will do anything more slowly.’

Lin Manjue thought this way, clasped his fists and asked the coach: "What should we do with these people? Please tell us."

Chen Mu took a deep breath, looked at the crowd in the open space, pondered for a moment, saying, "There is no good to deal with, let's calm their minds first. The military staff are writing an announcement for the Anmin, telling them that they will eat and sleep, and as long as they do not cause trouble, the Tianjun will not harm human life."

If Ci does not control the troops, Ci does not control the troops. If Ci does not control the troops, it will not be more important to compete with the people. What is more important is that his flag army cannot use massacres, killing and looting as means to encourage morale.

Expeditionary operations restrict military discipline than local operations, and naval constraints are difficult to control military discipline than the mainland. The military discipline of the Eastern Military Office is extremely difficult, and it depends entirely on the honor and discipline constraints of Beiyang training.

Once the opening is made, all the honors and pride accumulated in the past will be gone. Asia is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and separatism will definitely appear in the future. However, whether this time is three or five years or three or five hundred years depends on the military discipline of their army to set the tone.

"When the Anmin notice is issued, the people's tax law is basically decided, and it will be around tomorrow morning before they will tell them the news of their release."

"When the time comes, they are willing to leave, they are allowed to go home to take their wives, children, and the food they have to go east to Mexico City. Those who are unwilling to leave will be considered the people here."

Lin Manjue nodded and praised: "The general is wise. These people heading east to Mexico City will inevitably disrupt the morale of the army and the people. Even if the defeated soldiers are summoned again, they will still disperse in the battle."

This is completely the normal idea of ​​an intermediate officer. After saying that, Lin Manjue let the road open and lead Chen Mu's headquarters into the camp, and said as he walked: "Master General, this battle has made meritorious contributions."

"oh?"

"The last turret was exploded by itself. Our flag army used a killing gun to remove the torch from ninety steps. We wanted to extinguish the fire and cause chaos to it for the flag army to attack, but perhaps ignited the gunpowder on the stage and exploded."

This is how the killing gun is used?

Chen Mu smiled for a moment, and then thought about it himself. Even if the killer gun was filled with divine eyepieces, he could see what he could see, so he could shoot accurately by firing a torch.

However, this distance is very surprising, with very far accurate shooting.

On the way to the camp, Lin Manjue conveyed Chen Mu's order to his subordinates, asking them to calm the captives' hearts and make a promise to them that they would not kill them without chaos.

Things after the battle are much more troublesome than the battle itself. Chen Mu issued orders in the commander's tent spread out in the camp: "The Shi General's fleet cruised the bay, and the fleets sailed a hundred miles south along the coast, with five miles apart in patrol formations. When they discovered the enemy situation, they set off fireworks in the air to warn the rear."

"The Second Mahjong Army led the fleet south one after another, and the Imperial Army and the Jing Army were stationed at the Zhuangyuan Bridge. I dare not let those landlady fight in a naval battle, but they can still guard a large number of baggage and prepare for land battles. The baggage ships must return to the voyage."

"General Wuqiao, in recent days, you have led the fleet to protect the baggage ships and sailed westward. Escort for 300 miles, and return without any risk."
