Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

The southwest monsoon blows in the Luzon Sea from June to October every year, and this is when the Death Channel opens.

Usually the fleet will start sailing out of Luzon in June, and then go all the way north to the waters of 45° to 42° north latitude.

Then, follow the "Black Tide" in the North Pacific and head eastward to Acapulco, a journey of more than [-] nautical miles and lasting about six months.

The Kuroshio originates from the ocean east of Luzon Island and is a continuation of the North Equatorial Current.

The North Equatorial Current in the southern part of the North Pacific flows from east to west along the area between 8 and 13 degrees north latitude, and then changes direction to the north and northeast offshore east of Luzon.

Finally, along the Luzon Islands and Xiaoliuqiu Islands, the current flows northward to the offshore sea on the Pacific side of the Japanese country.

For the sake of his own life, Salazar told Li Jingfeng everything he knew.

Li Jingfeng suddenly looked like he was mourning for his heir:

"It's already August, does that mean it's impossible for us to figure out the Death Passage now?"

Salazar's heart skipped a beat. Do these people want to leave?His thoughts suddenly became active:

"Oh no, Lord City Lord, June is only the earliest opening time. In fact, it is possible to enter the Death Channel from June to August. But after September, the southwest monsoon is not long enough to send ships into the 45th North Latitude. °~42° waters, so it is no longer possible to enter the Death Channel. If we forcefully drive through it, we will not be able to reach Acapulco due to insufficient power from the Kuroshio."

Li Jingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. A decisive battle with the Bao'an Army would lead to death, but at most half of the people would die if they entered death.

This is basically a multiple-choice question that a primary school student would do:

"Okay, I've decided. Let's pack our things immediately and let's go to the Kingdom of Gold."

Admiral Po was excited, and Gu Dazi immediately roared:

"Okay, brothers, let's go to the land of gold to make a fortune."

Salazar did not expect that Li Jingfeng would really lead the team to the Kingdom of Gold, and he was extremely happy.

As soon as Li Jingfeng leaves, he can summon the surrounding Spanish troops to reoccupy Manila.

Li Jingfeng's group was really powerful. Without the main force, they couldn't be defeated. However, the main force was destroyed in Guangzhou.

If not, he wouldn't have to endure the humiliation.

But Salazar was obviously happy too early. Li Jingfeng patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Old man, I know what you are thinking. As soon as we leave, you can ask the barbarian army to reoccupy Manila, right? Hahaha, don't think about it. When the Baoan army goes to sea, Hou Yao has always killed the barbarians. Guang, if you don't even think about surviving in his hands, you'd better pack up your things and escape with us. Just you two, there's no way you can be his opponent."

Hou Yao?Is he the Baoan County Magistrate who killed all the Spaniards in Guangzhou?

Salazar had a dull look on his face. How come he had just sent away a bad wolf, and was another tiger about to come?

God, have you given up on your followers?

After hesitating for a long time, Salazar replied with difficulty:

"Lord City Lord, I am too old to withstand such a long voyage. Please let me go."

Li Jingfeng frowned:

"Old guy, are you stupid? We have never been to the Death Passage, and we don't know how to read the longitude and latitude that you Westerners talk about. If you don't follow us, how can we find it?"

Salazar's expression changed. Li Jingfeng was right. They must capture a guide, but he must not go.

Only the young and strong have a chance to survive in the death channel, while the old will undoubtedly die.

Li Jingfeng is not young anymore. He went on a death voyage and died without rebirth, but he will definitely not tell this secret.

But who can take his place now?

Salazar thought for a long time and finally thought of someone:

"Lord City Lord, actually I have not experienced this channel myself. How about I introduce you to an experienced person as your guide? He has crossed the Death Channel three times. He is more suitable to be your guide than me. .”

Li Jingfeng said with great joy:

"Who and where is he?"

"His name is Matteo Ricci. He is a Jesuit missionary. With him as your guide, I am sure that Mr. Li will be able to reach the other side of the ocean safely. This man is in Manila right now, but he may return soon. Oyster mirror."

"Seal the port immediately and search for a foreigner from Matteo Ricci."

"Yes."

Longchuan City

Two days ago, the main force of Toungyu's army attacked the border of Longchuan.

Worried that the scholars in the city would have different intentions, Daxia soldiers and horses did not dare to defend the city.

Therefore, he chose to take the initiative and fight against Dongyu's army in the countryside ten miles outside Longchuan City.

Dongyu's [-]-strong army and [-] war elephants were overwhelming. General Mang Zhuo was in command of the central army. The vanguard general, Da Yi, looked arrogant and did not take these soldiers and horses seriously.

The Daxia army consisted of two cadres of Bao'an troops in the center, Liu Wei's two elite cadres guarded the two wings, and Deng Zilong's simple swordsmen held down the rear formation.

The commander-in-chief Ji Wenjun was sitting in a carriage, and Shen Yuluoyan was standing outside the carriage. All instructions were conveyed by the two of them.

Her belly was already bulging and she had gained a lot of weight. If there were enough soldiers, she would not be suitable for going to the battlefield.

But there is no way. Compared with being in the military formation, the risk of staying in Longchuan City is higher.

Mang Zhuo was the uncle of King Mang Yingli of Dongyu. Because his mount was an extremely rare white elephant, he was also called the White Elephant King.

And because the status of the white elephant in Myanmar is the same as that of the holy dragon of Daxia, it is also called the White Holy King.

When Mang Yinglong died of illness, all the people in Dongxu thought that he would pass the throne to King Bai Sheng, but in the end it was passed to his son Mang Yingli.

This move greatly disappointed the expectations of the Burmese people. As soon as Mang Yingli came to the throne, there was a chorus of negative voices in the country.

The reason why he wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty at all costs as soon as he came to power was also related to this uncle of the prince.

Because only by achieving the great achievements that his father was unable to achieve, will the people of Myanmar truly accept him as the new king.

Otherwise, he will always live in the shadow of this uncle.

Ten thousand elite vanguard battalions took the lead in launching an attack on the Daxia Army.

Leading troops to attack Daxia was a feat that Mang Yingli dreamed of. This Sishun rebellion dealt Daxia a fatal blow and gave him a great chance of attacking the hinterland of Daxia.

As long as the Burmese army can invade Dali, he will become the greatest king in Burmese history.

Logically speaking, Mang Yingli would never give up such an opportunity to the White Elephant King Mangzhuo, but this time, Mang Yingli had to give up his achievements.

The defeat in early June actually did not hurt Mang Yingli. The reason for retreat was purely due to the fire in the rear, which forced him to withdraw his troops.

16 years ago, Mang Yinglong conquered the Ayutthaya Dynasty twice and merged the entire Ayutthaya Dynasty into the Toungoo Dynasty.

After Mang Yinglong died, the Ayutthaya Dynasty had other ideas.

Three years ago, as soon as Mang Yingli came to the throne, he attacked the Ming Dynasty and lost troops and generals. The Ayutthaya Dynasty saw the opportunity to regain independence, so it declared independence that year.

However, there has always been peace between the two countries, and it can be said that there is no conflict between the two countries.

However, this time Wumang Yingli's entire army went out, leaving Taungu City empty. King Narixuan of the Ayutthaya Dynasty saw an opportunity, so he took the opportunity to sneak attack Taungu City.

The front line was not going well, and someone was stealing from behind, so Mang Yingli could not continue to conquer Daxia.

After returning to his division, Mangyingli quickly pushed back the Ayutthaya dynasty's army, and is now surrounding Ayutthaya City, the capital of the Ayutthaya dynasty.

It's just that the city of Ayutthaya is also known as the "invincible city". How can it be so easy to attack?

Therefore, this time Mang Yingli was unable to lead the army to Daxia, so he had to let Mang Zhuo lead the army.

White Elephant King Mangzhuo also saw that such an opportunity was rare, so he mobilized all his troops to attack.

He plans to accomplish all his feats in one battle. As long as he can capture an inch of Daxia's soldiers this time, his reputation will far exceed that of Mangying Li.

When the time comes, it will be a matter of course to hold a military admonishment position.

Mang Zhuo was riding on the huge white elephant king, overlooking the entire battlefield.

Although the Daxia army in front of him only had five men, he did not dare to be careless at all.

The Daxia army is notoriously powerful, and non-elite troops will be defeated quickly.

It is said that there are 3 troops, but in fact, most of them are miscellaneous troops put together by warriors from various tribes. They are entirely his own elite, with only [-] people.

The lead battle was crucial, and Mang Zhuo did not dare to hand over the task of leading the charge to other coalition forces, so he waved to summon his vanguard general:

"Chief Commander, you take [-] troops and horses from our headquarters to take the lead and test the quality of this army first."

The commander of the wings cast a contemptuous glance at the opposing military formation and shouted:

"Holy King, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely live up to their orders."

Da Yi Chang was one of the two generals under Mang Zhuo. He led his [-] troops to slowly approach the Daxia army.

Ji Wenjun was in the carriage and looked through the curtain at the soldiers on the opposite side with his binoculars.

"General Zhu, I see that the opponent's army does not have long-range attack weapons, and we do not have enough weapons. Let's face the enemy with a gun formation in the first battle."

Zhu Liang'ao was about to answer when Liu Wei, who was standing next to him, said first:

"Your Highness, let me give the victory of this first battle to the last general. I feel so angry that I am a coward. I will return it all today."

This is true.

The other party threatened Ji Qizhen's life before, so he didn't dare to fight back and could only escape again and again.

For a warrior like him, how can he not be considered a coward?

Ji Wenjun glanced at Zhu Liang'ao. Although he had heard of Liu Wei's reputation, he was actually not familiar with him.

And after arriving in Tengchong, all she heard were rumors about how violent this man was, and the impression she had formed before had been completely overturned.

In comparison, it is Zhu Liang'ao, and Chen Kun can make him trust him more.

"General Zhu, the first battle is crucial. Look..."

Zhu Liang'ao didn't know Liu Wei, but he had heard rumors about Liu Dadao, and they were all leaders of troops. Whether his soldiers could fight or not could be seen at a glance.

The military discipline of Liu Wei's troops is indeed worrying, but their combat power is definitely not weak.

"General Liu was born as a martial arts champion. He is brave and good at fighting. He has defeated many weak generals."

When Liu Wei heard that Zhu Liang'ao was so humble, he had a good impression of him.

Ji Wenjun nodded and said:

"General Liu, I order you to mobilize your troops immediately and defeat the enemy..."

"The general will obey the order..."
