The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Madrid, Spain.

On the hills on the left bank of the Manzales River, a heated discussion was currently taking place in a gorgeous palace.

"Your Majesty, we must immediately send the fleet to the Far East to let those damn yellow-skinned monkeys see the power of our invincible fleet! Let them pay the price for that stupid and arrogant behavior!"

Lord Admiralty Dryden Griffith shouted, raising his neck.

"Your Excellency Dryden, I would like to remind you that your "Invincible Fleet" cannot even defeat the French Navy now, and the Philippines is too far away from our homeland. The kingdom's current financial situation can no longer support the army to travel across the ocean. Fight in the Philippines.”

Chancellor of the Exchequer March Leopold glanced at the Lord of the Navy and said in a calm tone.

"You coward! If the Kingdom of Spain is full of people like you, then how long will it take for us to rebuild the kingdom's former glory?" Dryden glared at the finance minister who always opposed him.

Finance Minister March did not reply, but turned his attention to the Queen Mother Maria Anna, the regent who was sitting in a high position. As for their king?

That barely human His Majesty King Carlos II sitting next to the Queen Mother?

Forget it, this perfect negative example of incest marriage has serious flaws whether psychologically, physically or physically.

If it weren't for being born into the royal family, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death as a monster as soon as he was born.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the fall of Manila was four months ago. We are not sure how the situation in the Philippines will develop after these four months."

"And we also know very little about this sudden "Ming Empire". If I remember correctly, the huge empire in the east called "Ming" was destroyed by the Tatars from the north decades ago. ”

"Not to mention that we know nothing about the enemy, even if we really send a large army to the Philippines, how many people should be sent? And the march will take several months. What will the situation be like when the army arrives in the Philippines? Change? What’s more, the kingdom’s financial resources can no longer support the army’s expedition.”

Finance Minister Mazie's analysis immediately made Navy Minister Dryden at the side blush.

He was half angry and half ashamed.

After all, the Finance Minister's analysis made him, the Minister of the Navy, look quite amateurish.

And many people present have begun to talk about it.

Dryden couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but from the joking glances that glanced at him from time to time, he could tell that they were definitely not saying good things about him.

"Gentlemen, please keep the venue quiet!" Queen Mother Maria Anna, who was sitting in a high position, spoke.

"I think everyone is aware of the current situation in the Kingdom. I think we should not create an unknown enemy for the Kingdom in the Far East at this time."

"The kingdom can no longer withstand the struggle. We should not launch an uncertain war for the wild land of the Philippines. We should focus more on New Spain."

“As for how the Philippines issue should be handled specifically, everyone can express their opinions.”

Queen Mother Maria Anna looked at the ministers and said.

She is 57 years old this year, and she doesn't want to or has the energy to bother anymore, and the Philippines is really a wilderness in her eyes.

New Spain was able to produce large amounts of gold and silver for the royal family, while the Philippines only had spices and wood.

The Governor-General of the Philippines is also clamoring for an increase in military spending and an increase in the number of troops every year.

She had invested a lot but gained little, so even if such a place was lost, she wouldn't feel any pity.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I think we can send a small army to the Philippines. If the so-called Ming Empire is not strong, then we will destroy it and take back the Philippines. If the other side is strong, then we will work together. The other party negotiates and sells the Philippines to Ming Dynasty." Minister One suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes lit up. Even the Queen Mother Maria Anna, who was sitting in a high position, thought this was a good idea.

Although the Philippines is dispensable to her, it would be best if she could really keep this colony. After all, this is also related to the face of the Spanish royal family.

"It seems that everyone has no objection to Count Thomas's proposal, so which gentleman can take on this important task?" Queen Mother Maria Anna looked at the ministers.

This time everyone started to act like quail.

Obviously, no one is willing to give up the luxurious life at home and go thousands of miles to suffer in the humble Philippines.

Seeing this, Queen Mother Maria Anna's face darkened.

She looked at Count Thomas who had just made this suggestion.

"Your Excellency, Earl Thomas, you will have to make a trip for this matter."

When Thomas saw the Empress Dowager looking at him, he already had a bad feeling in his heart. But now, when the Empress Dowager finished speaking, his whole face fell.

It’s really a shame!Isn’t it good to be a transparent person honestly?

……

While the Spanish Kingdom far away in Europe was still discussing the solution to the Philippines, Zhu Heyu also looked at the remaining part of Luzon Island, the Bataan Peninsula.

Because 3000 infantrymen had just been recruited from the barracks, plus the 2000 people who had returned from the Northern Expedition and the 2000 people in the recruit training camp, Zhu Heyu already had 7000 available troops.

Such a large force was enough for him to easily capture the rest of Luzon Island.

"Di~Di~"

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

A sharp assembly whistle sounded in the recruit training camp. When the soldiers heard the whistle, they immediately put down their training and ran to the emergency assembly area.

Soon, at the assembly point, the 2000 recruits were neatly arranged into several formations.

Su Qiyi looked at his watch. Five minutes was not bad!

He looked up at the group of new recruits, with straight military postures and solemn expressions.The military appearance is pretty good, but the only thing lacking may be actual combat.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the training of the new barracks will end from now on. Everyone will be dispersed into various units and fight south with the army to recover the Bataan Peninsula!"

"Follow the Holy Order!"

The responses from the two thousand officers and soldiers were deafening and without any noise.

Although their training time is far from the three-month standard for recruit training, their spears point to the emperor's will.

Because these soldiers were all ordinary people, Emperor Zhu Da, who was afraid of death, arranged an instructor in each recruit company to be responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers in order to prevent accidents.

After training every night, the instructors of each company will continue to instill in the soldiers the idea of ​​​​discipline first and imperial power first.

But now it seems that the effect is good.
