After several days of experience, the Spaniards have made preliminary transformations on the island.

The difficulty of transformation is not as big as expected, but it is not small. After the most basic house toilet is built, the next issue is the problem of water withdrawal.

The fresh water on the island is concentrated in the central area.

It would be a bit too troublesome if you rely on people to carry it.

So Mathia decided to build a simple channel to lead the water to the Spanish gathering place.

This project is not very big, but the results will definitely be considerable.

Mattia could not wait to see the water flowing.

As for the scouts who scattered out, they were naturally not idle. They found first-hand news about the Ming army in Guangdong.

It turns out that the Ming army did not have many permanent troops in Guangdong, because the Ming Dynasty was too large and all regions needed garrisons, so there were not too many permanent troops.

However, the Ming army had a main force controlled by the royal family and the court. Any place that needed troops, it would be transferred to this place as soon as possible.

So it is certain that after learning that the Spanish army came, the Ming army would soon send main reinforcements.

Maybe they are on the way, maybe they have arrived.

So Mattia is very glad that she did not act recklessly.

If they landed in the beach and ended up being surrounded by the Ming army, it would be really awkward.

He would not act rashly before he could figure out the truth of the Ming army, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to the Spaniards once they fell into a deadlock.

After all, this place is not Spain, after all, it is not Europa. The Ming army has an advantage in fighting at home, so Mathia must be even more careful and never reveal any flaws for the Ming army to capture it.

But this is easier said than done.

The Ming army was experienced after all. If the Spanish were not prepared to complete the encirclement, Mathia would have to respond hastily.

This heart-shaped island seems good, but it also has one big disadvantage, that is, the goal is too obvious.

It would be fine if the Ming army did not search the sea, but once the sea was searched, the Spaniards would have nowhere to hide.

At this time, Mathia had to be vigilant and scatter the spies completely.

As long as you can search any information about the Ming army, you will report it as soon as possible.

Mattia believes that as long as he keeps his vigilance full, his opponent will not be able to hold on to his position.

Two flowers bloom, one side of the sky.

However, it shows that the military navy arrived in Fujian as soon as possible after heading south via waterways.

Since the Spanish came, the first thing they approached was Fujian and Guangdong.

The reason why the Ming army came to Fujian first was actually because Zheng Chenggong had some selfish intentions.

He wants to go home and have a look.

Although his fathers have all died and scattered, there are still many of his peers.

Zheng Chenggong still attaches great importance to clan blood ties.

Taking this opportunity to talk about the past together is also a good thing.

After arriving in Fujian, Zheng Chenggong also sent scouts to inquire about whether there was any news about the Spanish.

Calculate the time, it's time for these guys to arrive.

Unless there is a sea storm that is delayed.

But the scouts went out for several days without getting any news.

You should know that the Spaniards dispatched 300 ships, with such a large scale and great momentum, and it is impossible for them to have no movement or trace at all.

So Zheng Chenggong can basically conclude that the first stop for the Spaniards is not Fujian but Guangdong.

So even if he is nostalgic for Fujian, he cannot let his emotions make decisions. Instead, he adjusts in time and orders to go to Guangdong.

From beginning to end, Li Dingguo didn't say much.

Because he was sure that Zheng Chenggong's choice would not be wrong.

After all, this place is familiar to Zheng Chenggong. When he arrives in Guangdong, Li Dingguo can say a few more words.

No matter what, Li Dingguo had fought several battles in Guangdong back then, and he still had a certain say.

Whether it is Fujian or Guangdong, they were the earliest places where the sea was opened in the Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountains and rely on the mountains and water to eat water.

By relying on the sea, it is naturally like eating the sea.

This is not just fishing, but also doing business and traveling around the world.

Guangdong is even more prevalent in this area.

So much so that after the sea ban was opened, a large number of merchants went to Southeast Asia to do trade.

After learning that the Spaniards arrived on the coast of Guangdong, most merchants did not dare to go out to sea anymore.

God knows whether these red-haired ghosts will kill people like Japanese pirates without blinking.

Some businessmen who had been to Manila back then were still scared when they talked about Spanish when they talked to their fellow villagers.

These Spain originally established colonies in Manila and opened gold and silver mines in the local area. A large number of local indigenous people and merchants who went to Manila to trade were arrested to work as coolies.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were naturally no exception.

The Spanish would not ask where you came from. Or in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was not a powerful and invincible country.

Therefore, many Guangdong businessmen were detained to work as miners in the local area, and those who escaped by chance did not dare to go to Manila.

It was not until the Ming army defeated the Spaniards in Manila under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong that they dared to restart this route.

Now the Spaniards have made a comeback if they have learned something.

How can these businessmen not be surprised?

However, unlike last time, they had the entire Ming Dynasty and the Ming army as their support, and they were in their hometown.

But the Spaniards are good at sailing after all, and if they avoid fighting guerrillas, it is actually a bit troublesome.

Therefore, it is better to seek others than to seek others. The best way is to be more at peace during this period of time, hide at home and not go out.

These merchants are not like ordinary poor people. They already live in deep courtyards and have guards in their mansions.

Even if the Spanish go ashore and rob, they usually dare not go deep into their hearts.

Even if some people come, the guards in their mansion will be enough to deal with it.

The current situation is actually very difficult for the Spaniards. I believe that as long as the official army arrives, everything will be fine.

After all, Zheng Chenggong, the king of the country, has the reputation of the king of naval warfare, and has defeated the Spaniards twice in Manila and the American continent.

These are all talked about by the people.

So without news is the best news. Nowadays, local businessmen just need to wait, and naturally they won’t go to sea without going to sea.

Even if you make money, you are not in a hurry.

To make money, you have to spend your life.

If you make money but spend it, wouldn’t it be cheaper for these Spaniards?

They still understand this principle.

As for when Zheng Chenggong will come, I guess he should be almost here.

When the government army arrived, a stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.

As long as the two sides fought a battle with real swords and guns, the arrogant Spaniards would understand how big the gap was between them and the Ming Dynasty's official army and would never dare to act rashly again.
