Soon, the news of the sudden death of the Guangzhou magistrate spread to Xiangshan County.

Zhang Maoxiu, who was inspecting Xiangshan County, was very surprised when he heard the news.

He hurried to find Ning Xiu and confirmed the news to Ning Xiu.

"Have you heard about it from Brother Ning? Guangzhou magistrate Lu Zhiqian suddenly died."

"Yes, I have heard of this news. It's really unexpected."

Ning Xiu sighed: "But isn't this a good thing for Brother Mao Xiu? As soon as Lu Zhiqian died, the matter of his false accusation of Brother Mao Xiu was left unresolved."

Zhang Maoxiu frowned and said, "Brother Ning, you didn't do this?"

In Zhang Maoxiu's opinion, Ning Xiu has always done something unexpected. If Ning Xiu really did this, Zhang Maoxiu would not be surprised at all.

Ning Xiu said with a righteous expression: "Brother Maoxiu has gone where he thought of it. Although Lu Zhiqian deserves to die, he is still a court official at least. I will not do anything stupid."

"There are no outsiders here. Brother Ning Xian said to Brother Yu's honesty. You really can't kill anyone?"

"Absolutely not."

Ning Xiu said firmly.

Zhang Maoxiu nodded slightly: "You can rest assured if you are so stupid."

Unlike what Ning Xiu expected, Zhang Maoxiu did not ask the bottom line.

Ning Xiu naturally did not intend to explain this matter in detail to Zhang Maoxiu. Although he could trust Zhang Maoxiu, the fewer people knew about it, the better.

"Now Brother Maoxiu can stay in Xiangshan County for a while and walk around and relax."

Ning Xiu took the initiative to change the topic.

"Then it's not OK. I'm not just patrolling Xiangshan County. I'll stay here for one month at a maximum. Well, two months later, and I have to go somewhere else."

Ning Xiu shrugged and expressed respect for Zhang Maoxiu's opinions

"Dear Governor, please be sure to send troops to Ming Kingdom immediately when you see this letter. As far as I see, Ming Kingdom is full of armored soldiers, artillery and guns are even more popular, and even their navy is very sharp. The only drawback is that most of their soldiers are recruited by new recruits and their training is not perfect. If you don't take advantage of this time to attack, and when the training of these new recruits is complete, the Governor will never have the chance to take over Ming Kingdom."

Manila Governor Sanchez frowned after reading the letter written by Eduardo Benjamin.

Of course, he received more than this letter. The missionaries who went to the Ming Kingdom mentioned the power of the Ming Kingdom without exception in the letter, and pointed out that if the governor wanted to advance, he had to set off immediately. If the Ming army trained the new recruits properly, the chance of victory was not great.

how so?

Sanchez felt puzzled.

As far as he knew, the government troops of the Ming Kingdom should be a group of mobs with poor equipment and limited combat power. Why did such a strong army suddenly appear?

Guangdong, Guangdong

Sanchez repeatedly tapped his fingers. The army was in Guangdong, and it was said that it was defending the coast under the command of a young official Ning Xiu.

From Manila to Mingguo, you need to cross the ocean, and after a long journey, the supply loss will be very large. This is also the reason why Sanchez has not ordered the dispatch of troops for a long time.

Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. You must fight to the end.

Fortunately, everyone has reached a consensus on this matter, believing that it is only a matter of time before the battle with Ming Kingdom.

After these missionaries said that Sanchez wanted to fight with this young Ming official.

"Come here, I'll send my orders and gather all the officers in front of the Governor's Office. I'll give a speech!"

Sanchez has made up his mind to send troops to Mingguo this time, and no matter what dissuasion his subordinates say, it will not change his mind.

Soon, all the officers of Manila gathered in front of the Governor's Mansion.

Sanchez walked out in gorgeous clothes and delivered a passionate speech.

"Everyone knows that His Majesty the King has signed a warrant for the Ming Dynasty. There is a weak country waiting for us to conquer!"

At the beginning, Sanchez set a high tone, which in his opinion helped to strengthen everyone's confidence.

After all, the support of His Majesty the King can make everyone work hard.

Although this support is only verbal, the ships and military pay must be prepared by the Manila army themselves.

But all this is not a problem for Sanchez.

As a key port in Luzon, Manila relies on its unique geographical location to become a supply site for merchant ships when it is built.

By collecting taxes on merchant ships, Sanchez has made a lot of money and can fully support this action.

"The Ming Kingdom has countless gold and silver, as long as you defeat the Ming Kingdom, you can pick them up."

Sanchez continued to inspire the military: "There are countless beauties in the Ming Dynasty, and you can enjoy it."

These officers were motivated by Sanchez and their eyes turned red, saying that they would follow the Governor to fight and beat Ming Guo up all over the ground.

Sanchez was very satisfied with his subordinate's warm reaction. He pressed down with his hands and said, "This operation carries the ardent expectations of His Majesty the King, and only success is allowed not failure. This Governor ordered that all docked ships in the port go to sea and take the Ming Kingdom directly!"

"Has Eduardo Benjamin sent that letter?"

Ning Xiu took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Report to the Lord, Benjamin's letter to Manila has been sent, and now I'm afraid the Governor of Manila has seen it."

"Oh, that's good."

Ning Xiu had ordered people to carefully investigate these missionaries who had sneaked into Guangdong and found that some of them were sentry detectives from the Spanish in Manila, so he simply took these people to visit Xiangshan County to show his strength.

Under Ning Xiu's deliberate display, these missionaries believed that they had to write a letter to inform the Governor General far away in Manila that the Ming Kingdom was not as vulnerable as he imagined.

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty had a very powerful navy, although most of these navy soldiers were new recruits.

This is also the reason why they asked the governor to send troops as soon as possible.

If the Ming army did not take advantage of the blitzkrieg of all new recruits, it would be impossible to wait until the Ming army trained the new recruits and then wanted to fight quickly. At that time, the Spanish would greatly increase their losses, and even if they finally took over the Ming Kingdom, they would be heartbroken.

This is exactly what Ning Xiu hopes Sanchez sees.

In his opinion, although he had a navy in his hand, it was still incomparable to the Spanish Invincible Armada.

If Ning Xiu took the initiative to fight against the Spaniards, he would ask himself whether he would have a chance of winning.

But if the Spaniards were lured to Guangdong, it would be a different scene.

The long journey from Luzon to Guangdong, the Spanish mobilized a large number of troops, and when they arrived near Guangdong, they were exhausted. However, the Ming army waited for work and had obvious advantages.

What's more, there were strong castles behind the Ming army, and there was only a vast sea behind the Spanish.
