As Zheng Chenggong expected, the Spaniards gathered in Jiesheng City.

However, this Spanish army was not the main force of the Spanish fleet, but a partial division led by Mario, the commander of Governor Matisse.

Speaking of this Mario, he is also famous.

This man fought fiercely and made military achievements repeatedly, and was highly valued by Mattis.

This time, Matisse led his troops to attack the southeast coast. Except for him leading the direct army to attack a prefecture, the rest of his confidants were all scattered out by him to attack other prefectures.

In other words, the attacks and harassment of the Spaniards are not point-type or linear, but surface-type.

When the entire coverage is pressed up, it makes people unable to adapt.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong and the others came to Haifeng first because Mario was so disturbing, which made people very angry.

After pressing these and not saying that Mario occupied the Jiesheng Institute, he ordered the stolen gold, silver and grain to be moved into the city.

The Ming Dynasty's ward system has actually been in name only since the mid-term. After Jiajing, there was only one body.

Now this Jiesheng Suo City has been abandoned for decades, and many houses in Suo City have collapsed.

Some roofs are still covered with weeds.

As for the vegetable gardens used to plant in the open spaces that the garrison soldiers reclaimed in the city in their early years, they were overgrown with weeds and were extremely deserted.

There are even some voles and venomous snakes.

Logically speaking, the living conditions are very difficult.

But Mario doesn't care.

They came here from thousands of miles away, in addition to helping the Spanish royal family revitalize their reputation, just to rob.

Now that this goal has been achieved, they naturally don’t feel that there is any pain.

Of course, people are addicted.

Especially after you see so much money.

Similar to other southeastern coastal areas, the people of Haifeng County have also gathered a lot of wealth.

Since the opening of the sea in Longqing, people on the southeast coast have been doing business everywhere.

They went to Southeast Asia to conduct trade and resale, and they accumulated a lot of wealth.

Although it is just an inconspicuous small village, the villagers inside are actually richer than the other.

At first, Mario still had a try-out attitude, but unexpectedly, a village robbed and got countless gold and silver.

This made them look like a beast with blood, their eyes were red, and their minds were full of thoughts on how to continue to rob wealth.

Mario didn't want to leave anymore, so he simply stationed in the city of Jiesheng.

Jiesheng Suocheng is near the sea. If the situation is not right, they can evacuate as soon as possible and will not be trapped in it.

After all, the Spaniards were still prepared for the Ming army.

They knew in their hearts that the Ming army they had seen before was not the core main force of the Ming army.

Since Zheng Chenggong could defeat the Governor of Manila and the Governor of New Spain by relying on the navy, he naturally made a two-step move.

With a vigilant heart, Mario certainly had to leave enough way out for herself.

Once there is any disturbance, he can immediately lead his troops to evacuate.

Of course, there is a more annoying thing that is that there is no water city in Jiesheng Suo City, and naturally there is no water gate.

So Mario had no choice but to order the ships to be docked in the port, and then he led his troops to station them in the city.

This will be more or less inconvenient.

But this is the best way he can find so far.

Fortunately, you can overlook the entire port on the walls of Suocheng.

As long as there is any abnormal movement, Mario can lead his subordinates to rush out like a leopard.

Of course, there is still nothing wrong today.

On a lazy afternoon, Mario lay on the bed, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard in a daze.

It is very similar to his hometown of San Sebastian.

San Sebastian is located in the Basque region of northern Spain, a coastal city very similar to Haifeng.

The air has a salty and wet smell, which is sticky, but it makes people feel very comfortable.

Growing up in such a small town, Mario was not as willing to live such a dull life like other people in the town.

He was determined to become a Spanish soldier very early and to make achievements and make achievements.

At the age of sixteen, he went to Madrid alone with his parents and family on his back.

He didn't have much money on him, and after arriving in Madrid, he was even more penniless.

Mario, who was already at his wits end, met Matisse at this time.

Time is fate.

At that time, Matisse fell in love with Mario at first sight and thought he was a child that could be raised. He immediately took him into the army and trained him as a confidant.

Mario did not disappoint Matisse, and showed a strong desire to learn.

No matter what Mattis asked him to do, Mario would execute it immediately and would not say a word.

This made Mattis very pleased.

After all, people like to obey subordinates.

Mario grew up crazy with the support of Matisse, even a little domineering and unruly.

But it is precisely because of this that Mario quickly made a name for himself in the Spanish Navy and attracted attention.

In several important naval battles, Mario showed his talent, and eventually made the Spanish king promote him and became Matisse's confidant.

Looking back on these, Mario felt very happy.

Life should be like this, what kind of man is trapped in a small place?

Of course, the situation is still a little different from when he was in Spain.

When he was in Spain, he was around Matisse, and he had to respond immediately to anything Matisse said.

Now, he led his troops alone in a small town of the Southeast Guard of the Ming army, and had considerable autonomy.

In other words, Mario doesn't have to look at Matisse's face here, and can act according to his own judgment and preferences.

This feeling is very wonderful. If you don’t try it, you will give you an extremely refreshing pleasure.

Mario had a bold idea in his mind. Of course, he respected his benefactor Mattis, but he walked to a high place.

As a deputy general, of course he also thought that one day he could stand alone.

Mario wants to become a governor, no matter where he is enthroned, as long as he can become a governor, it is excellent.

So he must perform well here and successfully attract the idea of ​​the Regent Queen Mother Maria Anna.

As long as Maria Anna nodded in appreciation of him, it would not be okay even if Mattis had any unhappiness.

People do not punish themselves and kill them.

Mario can't wait to make great contributions and become a Spanish governor.

So he decided to use Jiesheng Suocheng as a base to rob more wealth.

When he presented countless gold and silver treasures to Queen Mother Maria Anna, he could imagine the smile on the Queen Mother Regent.

These gold, silver and treasures are his bright future, and he must continue to go crazy for it.

As for Matisse's idea, he would not consider it.
