The Portuguese withdrawal from the league is a blow to the league.

Fortunately, Britain is still there, which still has an advantage in the alliance against the Chinese fleet.

At this time, the three of them picked up their glasses and drank a sip of wine. Kuiyi suggested: "Gentlemen! Since the Chinese have refused the negotiations, I suggest that the joint fleet should set sail to China immediately so that the Chinese can realize their mistakes."

Eldo said: "Spain agrees with this proposal. We first defeat the Chinese fleet in Taiwan, then advance along the coast, directly into the Yangtze River, approach the Chinese capital Nanjing, and force their emperor to admit his mistake."

Gao Huan sanctions on Spain, causing Spain to lose millions. Eldo was anxious and forced China to return Spain's property and compensate for the losses before the Spanish king asked him guilty.

The two were talking, and then Kong Xiang hurried in and reported urgently: "Governor General, the Chinese fleet is approaching the Philippines."

After being shocked by the Portuguese's sudden withdrawal from the alliance, the few people looked at each other again.

Kuiyi said in shock: "The Chinese are too arrogant. They claim to be the country of the Celestial Empire, but they don't know that the world has changed a long time ago and they don't know that the sea belongs to us. How many ships do they have that dare to take the initiative to attack Manila?"

Kong Xiangxing said: "There are thirty three-masted gunships about 1,000 tons, and they are almost arriving in the Philippines!"

Eldo put the wine glass on the table and stood up, "Gentlemen! What are you waiting for? They only have thirty ships, and we have forty-two warships. Here we give the Chinese a chance to teach their lessons."

Since Western Europe embarked on a great voyage, no country has dared to challenge Western Europe in the past hundred years.

The great Spanish Empire has indeed declined recently, but its strength is still strong.

The Spanish Empire wanted to fight against the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Mediterranean, against the Netherlands and Britain in Mexico, and in the Philippines it was only a small part of the empire's power.

If the Spanish Empire could hit all the navy, the Chinese would not be the opponent at all.

Although only the Manila navy can fight against China now, after joining forces with the Netherlands and Britain, Eldo is still confident in fighting against China's fleet.

Kiichi and John Daws also stood up, "Your Excellency, then make a plan!"

The Three Kingdoms fleet in the Bay of Manila has a total of forty-two warships, including twenty in Spain, fifteen in the Netherlands and eight in the UK.

These warships are about 1,000 tons in size, most of the ships are sixty meters long, with masts fifty meters high, and equipped with thirty to sixty artillery pieces. Each ship has more than 300 people. It can be said to be the most powerful fleet in the Far East.

In terms of the number of warships, the number of Western-Air fleets is twelve more warships than China. However, Western-Air are mainly armed merchant ships, while China is all warships. The quality and equipment of a single ship are weapons, and Chinese warships have the advantage.

At this time, the three countries urgently discussed and quickly formulated a plan to put the Chinese fleet into the Manila Bay and then annihilate the Chinese fleet in one fell swoop.

When Zheng Sen led thirty warships and sailed through the wind and waves, the three-country joint fleet also set sail from Manila and headed for the battle.

At this time, the fleet sailed to the entrance of Manila Bay, and eight British warships separated from their main force and hid on the side of Correcido Island.

Manila Bay is a large bay, shaped like a falling pocket. Correcido Island is located in the pocket, and the British army hides here. After the Chinese fleet enters Manila Bay, they can break out from behind and block the Chinese's retreat.

After seeing the British fleet hidden, the West-Holland United Fleet cruised at the entrance of Manila Bay, waiting for the Chinese fleet to appear.

At this time, on the Spanish flagship, Governor Eldo held the ship's side with his hand, looked at the sea, and said to Kuiyi: "We have many warships and ambushings, and the Chinese will be defeated."

On the north of Correcido Island, eight British warships found an anchor in a bay.

At this time, on the British flagship, the fleet commander Baron Ross asked in a deep voice: "Do we really want to help the Chinese?"

John Daws smiled and said, "Of course, the Chinese have given us too much, and Spain and the Netherlands are our competitors and our enemies."

In Western Europe, after the talented and magnificent British Protector Cromwell came to power, he began to challenge the Dutch maritime hegemony.

John Daws had a premonition that a war would definitely break out between Britain and the Netherlands this year.

Baron Ross said: "Okay! When the Chinese fleet arrives, we will suddenly bombard the West-Holland fleet and defeat them."

John Daws smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too anxious. Although we are ready to help the Chinese, it depends on the situation. After all, the West-Holland fleet has thirty-five warships and a maritime power. Our strength in the Far East is limited and we cannot lose any losses. It is better to let them fight first. When the situation is clear, we are choosing to join the war. Isn't it safer?"

Baron Ross smiled, "Your Excellency, you are so smart. Indeed, Spain, the Netherlands, and China are not something we are willing to see."

John Daws smiled and said, "Wish the Chinese people good luck! After all, they gave too much. If Siho won, they would definitely not share too much of their interests in China with us."

The West-Holland fleet was cruising on the sea, and the coalition sailors on the deck moved wooden boxes containing projectiles and gunpowder bags to the artillery to prepare for naval battle.

The British fleet hid behind the island to rest. Two days later, waves of rumbling cannons suddenly came on the sea.

At this time, all the sailors on the British warship were awakened by the sound of cannons. The fleet commander Baron Ross and John Daws came to the deck. Hearing the sound of cannons continued to come, the sky to the west flashed with light in the sound of cannons.

"The Chinese are here!" John Daws said in surprise.

It was not yet dawn, and on the sea outside Manila Bay, two huge fleets lined up on the sea, facing the bombardment two or three miles apart.

The guns roared on the side of the warships of the two armies, and the fires ejected flashed, making the scene particularly spectacular.

The warships of both sides sailed on the sea and shot in the face, and the water columns on the sea soared into the sky.

The sides of the warships of the two armies were hit by artillery shells from time to time, the side of the ship exploded, the sails were torn by chains, and the sail cables were squeezed, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Soon the naval battle fought from dawn to sun rise from the east, and both sides lost a warship.

At this time on the Spanish flagship, Eldo was a little surprised by the strong firepower of the Chinese fleet. He looked at the fierce battle and ordered coldly: "Switch the rudder and bring the Chinese into the bay!"
