Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Chapter 123 Great changes in the coalition forces

Diego Ronquillo hurriedly brought a group of Spanish elites back to the camp. What he was most worried about now was the food problem.

Sure enough, as soon as he ran back to the camp, he met the broken navy who was transporting food.

The deputy general rushed back to the city to transport food. At times like this, more food means more vitality.

As for the rest of the coalition forces, they are all clay bodhisattvas, so who has the heart to care about others .

Seeing that most of the food had been carried by Po Haijun, Diego Longchi panicked, and hurriedly led people to stop the deputy general who was directing Po Haijun to transport grain.

"Hey, this is food that belongs to the entire coalition. You can't move it all away."

He also wanted to negotiate with him, hoping that the other party could provide a portion of the food, and he had no intention of asking for more, just enough for them to return to Manila.

The deputy general glanced at him and spat:

"Bah, rubbish. The war has been fought like this. Who is still in the coalition with you? 2 people can't defeat four thousand people, and they still have the nerve to come back and ask for food."

Diego Longi was slightly embarrassed. Failure to win would not change the fact, but when he saw Po Haijun continuing to transport food, he became anxious and forcibly stopped him again.

"Your Excellency, even if we are defeated, you can't transport all the food away, otherwise what will we eat?"

With a clang, the deputy general pulled out the long knife from his waist, pointed at Diego Longquillo and said:

"Yimanzi, I tell you that the one who cooperated with you is the Major General. He is dead. Now I am in charge. These grains were stolen by our navy. What you eat is none of my business. Get out of here, otherwise I will kill you."

The surrounding broken navy also drew their swords one after another, staring at the Spanish army eagerly .

Diego Longqui saw that the opponent had many people and was not weak in combat power, so he immediately dared not speak out in anger.

At this time, Li Jingfeng rushed back with the defeated Japanese army.Seeing the confrontation between the navy and the Spaniards, he immediately understood what was going on and came out to smooth things over:

"Vice General Liu, food is not a child's play. If you really want to monopolize it, you are forcing us to fall out. If Mr. Diego and I join forces, the navy may not be able to withstand it.

In fact, our current surplus grain is enough for everyone to share. How about we discuss it? The three parties can negotiate a reasonable distribution plan and then withdraw their troops. "

Vice Admiral Liu hesitated for a moment. There were only about three people coming from the navy now. If Li Jingfeng and the Spaniards joined forces, the strength of both sides would be almost the same.

Li Jingfeng's Japanese pirates are not weak in combat, and he knows this.

Although the navy has two matchlock soldiers, if the matchlocks are not waiting in formation, they will not have much lethality.

The troops of the three parties are already mixed in the military camp. If a conflict breaks out now, the navy will not have any advantage.

Adjutant Liu thought about the current situation clearly, then he lowered his head to discuss with the two people behind him and said:

"Okay, let's go to the meeting camp to discuss it in detail."

Li Jingfeng and Diego Longquillo looked at each other, and then answered together:

"it is good."

Adjutant Liu led a dozen of his best men and entered the meeting camp first.

Li Jingfeng and Diego Longquillo arrived shortly afterwards, but the broken navy at the door blocked their entourage , allowing only the two of them to enter alone.

Now that the food is in the other's hands, the two have no choice but to compromise.

Entering the camp, Adjutant Liu sat in the first place, followed by five naval masters holding knives and four holding matchlock guns.

"Haha, you guys really dare to come in . But since you have come in, let's have a good talk and give you a bottom line. All food belongs to the Po Navy. If you want food, you can only..."

Adjutant Liu was talking nonchalantly, and Po Haijun behind him also looked very relaxed, as if the two of them were already salted fish on the chopping board.Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred at this time.

In the blink of an eye, Diego Longquillo drew out the stabbing sword from his waist and stabbed Adjutant Liu at lightning speed.

Li Jingfeng, on the other hand, made a flying swoop and directly attacked the two nearest Po Hai sergeants behind Adjutant Liu.

"Uh……."

Adjutant Liu didn't even have a chance to scream, before his throat was pierced by Diego Longquillo's sword.

The two guards behind him also had their necks broken one by one by Li Jingfeng.

Three people were killed in an instant, and the remaining Po Haijun were stunned. No one expected that the Yi commander could use such a powerful sword .

Diego Longquillo said in stiff Daxia Mandarin:

"Now we can talk, everyone, everyone is working for money. If the price given by the navy is broken, we Castilians will only give you a higher price. Three times, I will give you three times the price to join Spain. How about the army..."

Li Jingfeng clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, King Pohai is going to attack the capital of Daxia. Even the city of Guangzhou is so difficult to defeat . The capital of Daxia will only be even harder to defeat. There is no guarantee whether he can come back. Now Lu Haikui and his lieutenants are also dead. I’m afraid that the sea-breaking fleet is about to disappear. Why don’t you find a way out for yourself earlier? The price that Mr. Diego can offer is not something ordinary forces can achieve. What else do you have to hesitate?”

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally someone spoke:

"Can you please give us some time so that we can convene other commanders to discuss it together. Now the highest status in the army is the commander of a hundred people, and none of us can be the master."

The navy is now leaderless. If it can be fully integrated, it can also recover some of the losses from the expedition.

Moreover, these Pohai are the elite among the elite, no worse than the Spanish elite. They also have two matchlock guns, which is also a big fortune.

Diego Longi nodded slightly, which was also what he expected.

"Please..."

……

No one expected that Po Haijun’s deliberations would take so long, and a whole night passed without any outcome being reached.

Diego Longquillo prepared the defeated army that had fled back, and gained an absolute superiority in strength.

On the second day, after nine o'clock, Diego Longquillo couldn't wait any longer, and directly led Li Jingfeng and the Japanese elite into the camp where the navy commanders were discussing.

"Four times, everyone, I'll pay four times the price to hire you to fight for Spain. Even the price of King Breaker's bodyguard is just that, right?"

After this night's deliberations, most of the dozens of famous naval commanders in the camp were already tempted.

Only a few die-hard members of Pokaiwang still felt that they should return to Taketomi Island to wait for the result of Pokaiwang's attack on the capital. It was the last word to protect their lair.

"The Spaniards can't be trusted. You see , they can betray Luzon and the Japanese easily . Sooner or later, they will betray us."

Diego Longquillo glanced at Li Jingfeng. Li Jingfeng slowly walked to the speaking commander and said:

"You make a good point, but..."

While everyone was waiting quietly for the next step, he suddenly took action and broke the commander's neck:

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to be loyal to a pirate?"

After speaking , he looked around and shouted:

"As a pirate, why talk about loyalty? You have really disgraced the pirates. Who else -"

The other commanders were all frightened, and forced by Li Jingfeng's threats, they had no choice but to agree to Diego Longquillo's recruitment.

All the commanders reached an agreement, and the only thing left was to separately summon the navy soldiers to announce the matter and accept the reorganization of the Spanish army.

After completing this set of procedures, it was already past noon.

Li Jingfeng and Diego Longquillo reached a strategic cooperation agreement, and the sea-breaking coalition officially became a thing of the past. It was integrated by the Spanish and became a subsidiary of the Spanish army.

Although the combat strength of the [-]-strong army has been reduced by more than half, the main force is basically still there.

And because after the order was sent out, compared with the coalition forces that seemed to be in harmony before, but actually had their own thoughts and fought on their own, which delayed many fighter opportunities, their combat power not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

At this time , the main force of the Baoan Army had also arrived outside Guangzhou .

Diego Longquillo, who had just reorganized his army, hurriedly summoned the senior generals in the army to discuss countermeasures.

Conquering Guangzhou has become an impossible task. The most important thing now is how to retain more strength. It is best if the existing army can retreat intact.

"Mr. Li, we can no longer capture Guangzhou City, so we can only return to Manila first before making plans. But the ship is gone. How to bring the army back is a problem."

Li Jingfeng thought for a moment and said:

"Mr. Diego, if you want to escape unscathed, the only people you can rely on are the people of Daxia.

I know a maritime businessman in Guangzhou. If we can give him enough money, he may be able to help us find a ship back to Manila. "

"money is not a problem."

Diego Longquillo took out a stack of Daxia silver notes from his arms . The official bank issued by the government can be exchanged for silver notes, which can be used throughout Daxia .road:

"I'm willing to pay any amount of money as long as it helps us get back to Manila."

Li Jingfeng took the banknote and counted it. There were over a million taels. He put the banknote into his arms and said:

"With these banknotes, please wait for my good news. However, it will take at least three to five days to prepare the ship. Mr. Diego still needs to be prepared to fight the Bao'an army and withstand the Bao'an army for at least a few days. Just attack..."

……

Hou Yao led his army to join the vanguard army outside Guangzhou.

Zhu Liang'ao reported to him and the princess the battle reports and battlefield conditions in the past few days.

The vanguard army has been rushing to support Guangzhou in a hurry for the past few days. After a series of fierce battles, the soldiers' spirit and body have reached a limit.

If there is no delay, the army may mutiny, so after rescuing Chen Kun yesterday, the entire army returned to camp to rest and did not pursue the fleeing Luzon Army and Japanese Army.

As a result, most of the defeated troops fled back, resulting in the current situation where the sea -breaking coalition forces are remnant but not dead.

After listening to the report, the team of civil and military officials in Guangzhou led by He Jianbai to greet Princess Fengjia had arrived outside the military camp.

Hou Yao went to see the princess into the city first.

He Jianbai has temporarily requisitioned a large house next to the magistrate's office as a princess residence, and all the female family members have also stayed in the residence.

After settling the princess, Hou Yao returned to the military camp. The war was not over yet. Although the sea-breaking coalition failed repeatedly, it was not without the strength to fight.

After returning to the military camp, the army was allowed to do some simple rest.

The sea-breaking coalition forces still have the strength to fight , but if they are allowed to escape , there will be endless troubles.

It is absolutely impossible for Hou Yao to allow such an army to wreak havoc in Daxia.

So in the early morning of the next day, Hou Yao personally prepared an army to attack... .
