open sea

Chapter 945 Classmates
On the battlefield, Yang Ce's doubts were no less than Fu Yuan's.

He came to the New World to fight the war.

On the Atlantic Ocean, he was fortunate to witness Alva's covering the sun and the Spanish fleet sailing far to the east. The Deming fleet cruising around the periphery discovered them and used artillery to warn them to expel him.

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

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

Of course, even if Chen Jiujing's fleet did not fire a warning shot, Yang Ce would not rush to fight the navy in a hurry - especially the navy that is undergoing large-scale military mobilization.

He only saw an opportunity, an opportunity to unite the world as one!

But no one in Han knew the route to the New World at all. Although he got a few maps from the Spanish nobles, it was too difficult to accurately land at the port of Veracruz, which is the closest to Mexico City, because after interrogating the prisoners The nobles of the Western Kingdom let him know how desolate the east coast of the New World is.

It was a large uninhabited area dotted with passing roads and thriving towns, and his men were running low on luggage, so he had to land exactly at the harbor.

That's why he decided to bombard and drive the merchant ships westward when he saw merchant ships out of range while sailing westward.

The merchant ships would take them to the port, and then they would continue westward, meet the merchants and continue shelling out of range, and then very precisely project themselves to the ports of the New World.

Yang Ce originally wanted to plunder the port of Veracruz, which was obviously named by the Spaniards, and then set it on fire. However, he found that the construction workers at the port all spoke the official language of Ming Dynasty, so he had to buy food with the gold that came with the ship. Some civilians were hired to lead the way to Mexico City.

"Halfway on the way, I bumped into you. I heard the commander-in-chief call gold. My cannon was plugged with medicine and I hurriedly asked my subordinates to pull it out."

In the Governor's Palace in Mexico City, Yang Ce, who was wearing black-faced soapy shoes and wearing Ottoman plate and chain armor, sat on a Spanish-style square chair with his back straightened, and asked with his hands: "What's going on? I asked The native craftsmen at the port, they all said that this is New Spain, I am right, but why are they fighting against the government army?"

Yang Ce pondered over these last few words.

How could they be the Ming Dynasty official army?

is not it?
Return to the Oriental Army?
The infantry drills have been changed, where is this?
Governor Yang Tingxiang has been in fear for several days. He was busy arranging defenses in Mexico City. Now his eyes drooped and he suddenly became energetic: "You said you would come here and send someone to send me a letter. If you really can't, send a letter to Commander Yuan." , you know so many generals, they came here without saying a word, and even led the soldiers to put on a posture of coming to fight, let's see how we are tossed!"

For a long time, Yang Ce, who went to Lin Feng, felt that he had no relatives, but who knew that this time he landed in the New World, he was full of acquaintances everywhere.

Yang Tingxiang, the governor of New Spain, was a student of Wenjinshi in the martial arts hall of Guangzhou Mansion. He was a celebrity among his senior brothers; The Guangzhou Mansion Lecture Hall, in the Guangzhou Lecture Hall, is a junior who is a year younger than him.

Not to mention that there are four other juniors in Qianhu, and there is another Baihu who was a small banner officer under him before he entered the martial arts hall.

This is just acquaintances. Needless to say, Fu Yuan, the commander-in-chief of New Spain, is well-known. Except for Yuan Zizhang, the other three commanders below are also southern military officers who have heard of it in the past.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in the whole of New Spain, including the two mixed-blood Spanish legions, there are more than a thousand households and half a hundred leaders with real power, and there are no more than 15 people who the pirate leader Yang Ce does not know or has never heard of.

Among these fifteen people, Spanish officers accounted for thirteen.

Yuan Zizhang, who used to be a cavalry general, was much calmer. He sat across from Yang Ce, crossed his hands on the table, and asked, "You have a good life at sea. People from the Eastern Army have been complaining every day, whether they are Spaniards or Portuguese, why do you want to land on the New World?"

A strong sense of absurdity surrounded Yang Ce. Ever since he was instructed by Nanyang Minister Gao Gong to join Lin Afeng, he never thought that one day he could sit with these old classmates from the past.

Not to mention that in Puebla earlier, they almost fought each other.

After all, their identities are different. Looking at these overlaid tiger breastplates, decent military uniforms, bronze medals of running tigers, cheetahs, and bears on their collars, and a square table full of general helmets, they looked down at themselves.

Helmet, he has a tall helmet looted from cavalrymen of the Arabian caliphate.

Armor, he was wearing the Ottoman Empire 'Sanjak Bey', which is the plate chain armor worn by military commanders, and the hem was covered with scarlet satin. This was Lin Afeng who came here under the pretext of being a mercenary when he attacked Safi of.

It was inconvenient for him to wear boots living on a ship. In fact, he was barefoot most of the time. The shoes he was wearing now were obtained temporarily after landing and were not suitable, and they were also worn by 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 the same as them now, with a third-rank official residence and honor?

He was ashamed of his complaints and envy.

But how can he not complain, who can not be envious of changing places?

Especially on the face, but also as if nothing had happened.

"You all know that I'm going to serve under the command of King Lin Feng." He raised his left fist to his lips, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "In the eastern sea, countless nobles from the Western countries have returned to Europa by boat over the past four months. Most of them met me, and at first I wanted to exchange some ransom, but later I caught 130 seven."

Yang Tingxiang, who was at the top, was drinking tea with a teacup. Hearing this, his body froze suddenly, and he almost spit out his nose. He coughed a few times before recovering: "You arrested 130 seven Spanish nobles? These few According to my statistics, only 120 people left here!"

"You caught eleven more than you left?"

Compared to Yang Tingxiang's gaffe, Yang Ce was very calm: "You counted less, there are at least fifty others that I haven't caught up with, and there are still lucky ones who didn't meet me, they must be more than your count."

"From what they said, I learned that it was because the Duke of the West Kingdom was about to lead his army to leave the New World. The reason for leaving was that he could not defeat Shuai Chen, and the Western Army was defeated."

Yang Ce's expression remained the same: "I thought at the time that Xiyang Yin Yangshi and Dawang expanded westward, and Dongyang Chen Shuai led his army to expand eastward. Since I heard the news of Chen Shuai, it means that the Ming Dynasty has united the world into one, and there is only this barrier left." New Spain in the middle."

"Don't laugh. I didn't know that you were the ones in power in New Spain. This damn place is called New Spain." Yang Ce was very innocent. He spread his hands and said, "New Spain has the governor of Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of Ming Dynasty. How can I get it when I've been overseas for a long time?" Know?"

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

"So here I am."

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