As Colonel Murphy and his fleet fell into the hands of the Ming army, it also meant that Spain spent more than half a century on its deployment in the Far East collapsed. In addition to seizing more than 30 warships, the Jiangning Army led by Yang Feng captured nearly 2,000 skilled sailors and officers, which was crucial to the subsequent development of the Fujian Navy.

Today, officers from Jiangning Army above the 1,000-ranking generals on Cebu Island gathered in the former Governor's Office in Fort San Petro. Dozens of officers filled the huge hall with a huge hall, and even Mitchell, who had just surrendered to Yang Feng, was among them.

Amid the applause of the officers, Yang Feng, dressed in military uniform, came to everyone by Song Ye and two servants.

After walking to everyone, Yang Feng pressed his palms down, and the applause in the hall stopped immediately. Yang Feng's sharp gaze swept around in front of everyone, feeling that Yang Feng's gaze was staring, and everyone stood up their chests.

Yang Feng smiled and said loudly: "Everyone, today is a day worth writing into historical books. With the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers of our Jiangning Army, the Spaniards who had been entrenched here for decades were defeated by us. In other words, the entire Luzon State has become the sphere of influence of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Crazy..."

As soon as Yang Feng finished speaking, another burst of warm applause rang out in the hall, and all the officers' faces showed an expression of unconcealed joy.

"Of course, the reason why I say it is the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty's market is because the king of Luzon has not yet surrendered to our Ming Dynasty. But that doesn't matter. Since he is willing to not surrender to us, then we will fight until he surrenders!"

Listening to Yang Feng's domineering words, a strong feeling of pride surged in everyone's chest.

Once upon a time, Chen Tang of the Han Empire once made a bold statement to the whole world that "those who offend me, the Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", and the Chinese nation once became the most powerful empire in the world.

But from the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, until the Song Dynasty, the development of the Chinese nation entered a vicious circle.

Perhaps it was because the harm of the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty that gave people too deep impression. Whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the brief early days of its founding, the civil servant group's suppression of the military officer group in the following time was extremely effective.

Whether it was the generals and generals of the Ming Dynasty who were raised as pigs or the literati of the Song Dynasty who imposed tattoos on soldiers because they were worried about the soldiers' escape (the punishment of engraving on their faces), it all showed the contempt and fear of the civil servant group for the military group from their bones.

Because the status of the warriors was too low, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was gradually destroyed by the group of civil servants who could only talk and fuck, so naturally no one said such words again. Now when Yang Feng heard that he emitted the iron-blooded energy buried in the bones of the Chinese nation, many people were excited and their eyes turned red.

Almost at the same time, everyone stood up and yelled at Yang Feng: "I am willing to follow the Marquis and fight on the battlefield to wrap the body! The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories...there are thousands of victories!"

After everyone finished cheering, Yang Feng looked to the left: "Captain Mitchell, please leave!"

Hearing Yang Feng's words, Mitchell, who was originally standing in the last row on the left, was stunned at first, then quickly stood up and walked forward a few steps. After standing still, he saluted Yang Feng with a snap, and shouted: "Mitchell, Director of the Investigation Department, asked the Marquis to give advice!"

Looking at the red-haired Japanese man wearing Jiangning Army uniform, who was blonde and blue-eyed, many people were in a very complicated mood. Some were smiling, some were disdainful, and some were expressionless.

Just a few days ago, this guy was still alive and dead with them, but he never thought that he would become their colleague now.

Yang Feng replied with a greeting, and smiled on his face and said, "Captain Mitchell, given that you have made many contributions since you became the Director of the Investigation Department, I specially awarded you the rank of major and rewarded you with a silver dollar of 1,000 yuan."

Although Mitchell's face still seemed very calm, his slightly trembling hands revealed his mood.

He suppressed his inner excitement and saluted again: "Thank you, Marquis. I swear to defend the respected Marquis and the Ming Dynasty for the rest of my life!"

"Well...is not bad!"

Perhaps because he noticed the mystery in Mitchell's words, Yang Feng looked at him meaningfully for a while before waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

After Mitchell returned to the queue, Yang Feng said again: "Although the battle on Cebu Island ended with our victory, this does not mean that our battle has ended. Don't forget that the king of Luzon Karim has not surrendered to us yet."

Geng Bingyi sneered: "Since Carim is unwilling to surrender, we will fight until he surrenders. If it really doesn't work, it's not difficult for us to support a king. Anyway, our Jiangning army is going to settle in Luzon!"

"Yes... Since someone doesn't know the truth, don't blame us for being polite!"

Everyone in the hall shouted, and they had just taken Cebu Island and were in high spirits, hoping to occupy the entire Luzon tomorrow.

It was still Yang Feng who stopped everyone's impatient: "Okay, don't be anxious, you have to eat one bite at a time. The road has to be taken step by step. If it's too urgent, it's going to be trouble."

"Everyone, because of your majesty's call, the Japanese Marquis of Ming Dynasty will return to the capital with Eunuch Cao Huachun. Here I will arrange some things first."

Chu Maoguang asked from the side: "Mr. Marquis, when will you return to the capital?"

Yang Feng shook his head: "I don't know either. I guess it will take three or four months at a time, and it will take half a year at a time."

All the generals were silent. The Jiangning Army with Yang Feng was definitely different from the Jiangning Army without Yang Feng. It was like the difference between a person having a soul and having no soul.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Yang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, don't show this expression. This marquis is ugly, but it is said that this marquis is ahead. Although this marquis has been away for a while, you must do your duties conscientiously. If this marquis hears that anyone dares to neglect military affairs or violates military discipline, let this marquis know, don't blame me for not being reminiscent of the old love.

Also, during the absence of this marquis, Geng Bingyi was the leader in all matters in the army, while Liu Xiang was the leader in the navy. You two must unite and handle the matter well. Do you understand?"

The generals looked at each other and said in unison: "Abide by the orders of the Marquis!"

Then Chu Maoguang asked, "Mr. Marquis, you have to leave us for several months, and this period is not short. Our army is alone overseas, and the daily money and food consumed is only a large amount. We can't let the soldiers waste it in vain, right?"
