  • The battle first occurred when Lin Feng landed on the city of Selurong; which at the time was a Bruneian vassal along with the neighbouring polities of Namayan and Tondo. Claiming to be leading a group of Japanese merchants wishing to trade with Tondo, he was granted access to the city's core, where he then assaulted and massacred the disorganised locals. Enraged, Brunei hastily sent a fleet to assist the locals, though by their arrival, the pirates had already occupied the whole of the Hanyang Bay area.

abstract
  • The battle first occurred when Lin Feng landed on the city of Selurong; which at the time was a Bruneian vassal along with the neighbouring polities of Namayan and Tondo. Claiming to be leading a group of Japanese merchants wishing to trade with Tondo, he was granted access to the city's core, where he then assaulted and massacred the disorganised locals. Enraged, Brunei hastily sent a fleet to assist the locals, though by their arrival, the pirates had already occupied the whole of the Hanyang Bay area. However, the unexpected death of Lin Feng, and the arrival of a thousand Ilocano and Pangasinese mercenaries, would lead to the defeat of the wokou and a victory for the Bruneian-led coalition. The relative death and destruction that followed the conflict would renew nationalist and anti-Bruneian sentiment among the Tagalogs, who would later oust the House of Sulayman and remove Bruneian influence following Bruneian defeat in the Bruneian–Spanish War.
