Lin Jiayan has become a huge construction site.

Rial was a Creole man, born to an alcoholic Spanish sailor and a prostitute who had fallen to Manila. Fortunately, Rial served Father Pilar, and through this relationship, he became the leader of all white and mixed-race children in Lingayan.

In the morning, Rial woke up, and on the boat, he was in a proud military uniform, a coercion gun, a scimitar, and a triangular hat, which looked a bit out of character. Behind him were six mixed-race guards. The Creoles who originally came to Linjayan, one died of dysentery and the other was killed by the natives. Rial became the leader. He was the tax collector in the Lingjayan area, second only to the Fengjun Ma Donglai.

However, Rial had no taxes at all. After choosing the fief of Paranguy, Ma Donglai immediately announced that he would bear the taxes of the two Paranguys alone, and the indigenous people needed to go through corvee to repay them, which immediately gained the support of local indigenous people. Soon, Ma Donglai chose a highland on the Agno River Delta as its base camp and launched a pioneering plan.

In addition to the skirmishes among supervisors, Ma Donglai's pioneering team did not conflict with the surrounding tribes. He chose the strategy of opening the way through the silver bullets, using Spanish silver coins, iron tools, salt, cloth and other small commodities to exchange rice and fish from the surrounding indigenous peoples, and also hired many indigenous men as laborers. Rial was completely unacceptable. He felt that the pioneering team had more than 100 samurai warriors and Pampangya soldiers. Cooperating with his invincible command, he could attack several tribes, especially the short black tribes, and catch those monkeys to work.

But Ma Donglai rejected this suggestion, and Rial was unable to veto it. Although he was sent by Father Pilar to monitor, he was not a shareholder. As an employee who accepted Ma Donglai's employment, he could only obey.

In the past three months, Linjiayan has undergone earth-shaking changes. A dock appeared by the Agno River, which can accommodate two junglers. On the flat highlands, the shrubs were cut down, the weeds were cleared, the land was leveled, the highlands were piled with wood, some were used for construction, while most of them were dried and used for fuel.

Two rows of wooden houses appeared on the high ground, one was the barracks of the pioneer group and the other was the warehouse, which was filled with grain.

Rial walked out of the barracks and found that Ma Donglai was not here. He grabbed a Pampangya soldier and asked, "Where is that Chinese, where did he go?"

"Your Excellency Donglai is paying wages to the natives over there. Those natives have transported a lot of oyster shells. You are very happy!" said the Pampangya soldier.

"This idiot!" Rial cursed and immediately went to find Ma Donglai.

The oyster shells on the beach are piled up like mountains, which is a good material for burning lime. Ma Donglai estimated that with these oyster shells, the Glory Castle would not be lacking lime, and the lime burned by the oyster shells must be better than the limestone fired, otherwise the Dutch and Spanish would not all choose this kind of material.

"My Lord Donglai, what are you doing with these things?" Rial rushed to raise an army and asked for guilt: "Does Father Pilar give you the four thousand pesos to buy these things that cannot be eaten, drink and trade?"

Ma Donglai smiled and said, "Of course not only these, half of the 4,000 pesos have also hired indigenous people to dig river sand. You know, sea sand cannot be used as building materials, just behind that mangrove forest."

The reason why Rial joined the pioneering group was mainly to win the trust of Koquela and Pilar. Otherwise, those guys would not be assured that a Chinese would be pioneering in the Philippines, and the same was true for hiring those Pampangya people. All Ma Donglai could believe was the thirty-something under his subordinates.

After coming to Lingayan, these white men and mixed races caused great obstacles to the advance work of the Castle of Glory. One of the white men was also preparing to report to Manila that the one was much smarter than Rial. In desperation, Ma Donglai killed the man and blamed the indigenous people.

Rial said angrily: "I want to report this to Father Pilar. You came to Lingayan with the priest's money and were only digging and logging, and there was no colonization land at all!"

Ma Donglai smiled disdainfully. According to the plan, the expeditionary fleet will be coming in two days, but at this time the news will be sent back to Manila, which will make the Spaniards prepare in advance. This is not what Ma Donglai wants to see. Now it seems that Rial and his men will be caught.

"Hey, Lord Rial, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you. Do you really think the plantation is important to Father Pilar? You're wrong, look at what this is!" Ma Donglai took out a pocket from his arms and threw it to Rial.

Rial weighed it and found it was very heavy. After he opened it, he saw the golden sand. Rial's breathing became heavy: "Golden sand!"

Ma Donglai smiled and said, "Yes, Jinsha! This is what an indigenous person who came to work told me. In the north, that is, the sharp corner of the bay, there is a tribe of short black people, and there is a small river to rush gold."

"Then we should send troops to occupy there!" Rial shouted excitedly.

Ma Donglai said, "But you see, this place cannot be separated from me. Father Pilar asked for a magnificent church here."

"I can go, Rial is the bravest and wisest warrior!" Rial said, patting his chest.

Ma Donglai said, "Okay, but I want one-third of the stolen sands. The rest are you and the soldiers who participated in the war. Then the Junke ship will leave you to help me. The soldiers of Pampangya will be selected at your disposal."

"How many people are there in that tribe?" Rial asked.

"A large Parangue." Ma Dong said.

Rial said: "Then I will take all the Pampangya soldiers away."

After saying that, Rial said to the two mixed-race children behind him: "You stay here to help Your Excellency Donglai."

Ma Donglai shrugged without objection. On that day, Rial took the Pampangya soldiers to board the Jung ship, and rushed north under the control of Chinese sailors. The next afternoon, he arrived at the place mentioned by the indigenous people.

Rial put on a half-body armor from the official hall, and with a cloak, which was very mighty. When he walked out of the official hall, stood in the stern of the boat, preparing to deliver a conquest speech that had been prepared, suddenly a puff sound came. Several Pampangya people ran up and said, "Someone fell into the water, and some fell into the water!"

Rial looked at the people on the boat and found that they were all natives and there were no Chinese. He felt tightened and ran to the side of the boat and saw that the Chinese were swimming on the sea and had already swam out of the shooting range of the mezzanine. Rial thought it was not good. He remembered that there were circumferences and Flang machines on the boat, and said loudly: "Fire the cannon and kill the Chinese."

Several natives lifted the canvas wrapped in cannons, but found that the cannon door had been nailed to death by iron nails. When Rial was so angry that he screamed, his hull suddenly tilted. Rial almost fell down. Soon someone said that the sailors fell off the anchor before leaving.

"Quick, put away the anchor. It was the Chinese who rebelled. They wanted to starve us to death on the sea. Unfortunately, those idiots miscalculated. I would also control such junglers. When I return to Manila, I will definitely use a knife to cut off all Chinese people's heads, just like five years ago!" Rial stood at the stern of the boat and shouted.

More shouts appeared, but not Rial's cheers and worship of hope, but sharp howling. Rial turned his head and looked, and two sailing frigates came from the wide sea, and more than a dozen artillery guns were pushed out from the upper deck and aimed at the jong ship.

A day later, Ma Donglai waited for the transport fleet in Lingayan. He Liangtao and Duoya got off the ship and became the first group to land on Luzon five years later. However, this time the identity changed and they were conquerors!

Lin Jiayan was in a hurry, and the fast transport ship kept dropping the boats, transporting soldiers, artillery and craftsmen to the shore in turn. Two large sand ships entered the dock. What they unloaded were some wooden components, forming a crane on the dock, and then the sand ship carrying building materials approached.

"In one and a half months, we will form a glory fortress!" He Liangtao looked at Lin Jiayan's preparations and said enthusiastically.

When Fort Glory put down its first cornerstone, the large fleet also followed the Oriental route south, but did not go directly to Manila Bay, but went to Subic Bay, the best port in the Philippines, the Philippines.

Subic Bay is in the southwest and northeast direction, fourteen kilometers long and eight to ten kilometers wide, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Typhoons in summer and autumn and strong winds in winter cannot affect it. However, because Subic Bay is surrounded by mountains and there are no exposed minerals, it has not been developed.

As a harbor where aircraft carriers can be accessed in later generations, the anchorage conditions here are naturally very good. After the large fleet arrived, a total of 150 marines and some craftsmen were drawn from each ship to the ashore, cut down trees, built two turrets with sandbags and wood, but aimed at the inland areas and then built a temporary dock. After the large fleet entered Subic Bay, it sent frigates to investigate and guard.

The next day, a Spanish notification ship appeared outside Subic Bay and fought with the frigates. It quickly left the south and the two frigates followed the south to carry out reconnaissance missions on Manila Bay.

Information from both sea and land was transmitted to Manila, the Governor's Office in Santiago Castle, and a small-scale banquet was held immediately.

Various meat steaks and lettuce were served on the dining table, and the maids shuttled through them to convey various fine wines. The people at the banquet were senior officials of the Philippine Governor's District, most of them were captains and officers of the navy, and the most noble one was undoubtedly the highest commander of the Philippine Governor's District, Koquera.

People drank wine and made the atmosphere hot. They boasted about their achievements and imagined victory soon. Everyone's face was filled with confidence and excitement. It seemed that the large fleet was here to die, and they had no doubt about victory.

The commander of the Manila main fleet, Lopez, had already drunk a little. He jumped onto the table, pulled out his gorgeous sword, kicked away the tableware that was in trouble, sang happily under the lights, and danced wildly.

"The stupid Dongfan people come to die again, and their fleet is outside the port.

They spend time and we keep our energy.

The shipworms drilled into the keel bones, the barnacles were covered with the bottom of the boat, the water was odorless and the food was the same.

The officers were mentally broken, the soldiers were irritable, and everything was under the control of the Great Lord.

That moment finally came, we rushed out of the harbor, broke through the enemy formation, and shouted: Santiago!

The warships of the Dongfan people became torches, and they fell on the sailors, and blood stained the sea red, and we shouted again: Santiago!"

This is a popular Spanish song in the Philippine Governor's District, which is particularly popular among sailors, but Lopez changed a little to change the Dutch to the Eastern Band, but no one has any objections, because in the eyes of everyone, no one dares to invade the enemy of Manila, no matter who is willing to fail, there will be only one ending.

When he learned that the large fleet entered Subic Bay and peeked at Manila, the generals under Koquela already thought that they would win this battle, so today's banquet was found. The order was still the most familiar tactic - Gou!

Everyone here is already familiar with this tactic. In fact, they had just succeeded once two years ago. The enemy's fleet blocked the Manila Bay. The fleet of the Philippine Governor's District was replenishing its strength in the port and waiting for several months. When the enemy exhausted its energy and supplies, the Manila fleet rushed out of the port, severely damaged and even wiped out the enemy.

Raphael sat on the platform outside the banquet hall, listening to the shouting sounds inside, full of disgust, his proud face raised, looking at the stars, and recalling the information he received, he always felt something was wrong, he was unwilling to believe that it was so stupid to defeat his enemies repeatedly, but all their actions were the same as those of the Dutch. For the past twenty days, the community fleet had been spending time and supplies in Subic Bay, and had only sent some schooners to intercept merchant ships outside the port and conduct limited reconnaissance. It seemed that everything was moving forward at the pace the Manila fleet liked.

(When the Dutch attacked Manila, they had briefly occupied Krabi territory, so the Spaniards were not surprised that the club entered Subic Bay.)

The banquet had reached its climax, and the screams of women were heard inside, and the drunk officers kept falling down. Raphael was thinking about whether to leave and visit Felisa when he suddenly saw the guards outside the official office quarreling with someone.

The lights at the door illuminated the man's face. Although he was unshaven and covered in thick cloak, Raphael still recognized him as a priest. He had not accepted his admonition when he prayed in the church. Unlike those priests who held the Bible in one hand and held the purse in the other, this priest was a devout shepherd, a monk and a missionary. He liked to walk among dangerous indigenous tribes and preach the gospel of God to them. This was the person Raphael respected.

"Stop, you idiots!" Raphael ran to the door and called the guards.
