This matter was so incredible to the Ming Dynasty. A city in Fujian was occupied by the Folangji people. In the past 100 years, such things were almost a fantasy. In fact, whether it was Spain or Portugal, these two countries with the most popular sea colonization at that time had the idea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Empire at this time was not the extremely cowardly Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later, nor was it the Inca Empire that seemed to be a primitive society in the Americas at the same time. This was still a feudal empire at its peak.

After several tentative attacks and provocations, the whites were all in a mess and learned enough lessons. They could only do business honestly and dare not do anything. Their actions towards the Ming Dynasty were even worse than those of Japan, which was much behind them in the same era, which was the most troublesome Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty. The coast of the Ming Dynasty was invaded by wandering samurai and pirates from the war-torn island country Japan.

Because of the long-term peace, the garrison and the army were not very good at training, and they were not afraid of wearing shoes, and were defeated by the desperate Japanese ronin. Then, because of the Japanese attack, Emperor Jiajing carried out a ban on the sea. The ban on the sea further weakened Daming's maritime defense. At the worst, he even occupied several county towns by these Japanese pirates, killing nearly hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

However, the only thing the Japanese pirates can do is this. If it weren't for Jiang Feng, the sudden uncertainty, according to the original history, Qi Jiguang and a group of famous generals who fought against the Japanese would appear. After a little rectification of the team, they would wipe out the Japanese tragedy on the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

After Jiang Feng appeared, history naturally deviated from its original direction. After the navy of Huazhou became stronger, the Japanese pirates who had some say at sea immediately carried out a key removal as one of the main reasons for disrupting maritime trade. The Japanese pirates were either bought as slaves or recruited by maritime merchants in Fujian and Guangdong, and more people were sank into the sea.

The Japanese disasters along the coast were strangled just after a little sign of exposure. The officials and civilians of the Ming Dynasty also did not feel the so-called Japanese disasters. In the following peace, everyone was busy making money. During the peaceful season, no one thought about training or other things.

So the "Spanish" invaded Zhangzhou City. This incident was like a sharp thorn on the thick-skinned giant beast of the Ming Empire, which suddenly made it hurt, and it hurt so much.

The Ming Dynasty's foreign policy was extremely tough, and it could even be said to be a bit stiff. It never compromised externally, and things like cede land and seeking peace would not happen, because the Song Dynasty retreated step by step in the face of the invasion of several barbarian countries of Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties at that time, but the other party advanced step by step until the country was destroyed. It was precisely because of such a lesson that the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a monarch or a minister or a scholar without an official position, adhered to tough policies and concepts to the outside world. Anyone who had any compromise strategy would be a traitor.

So when the news that the so-called Spanish occupied Zhangzhou City spread, the entire Fujian was shocked. The two closest guards to Zhangzhou City were located in the third day after they got the news, they gathered 6,000 troops to take back Zhangzhou City. Because of the activities of the maritime merchants in the past few years, the Zhangzhou area had no other official information and channels except for maintaining the most basic arsenal of the government.

Maritime merchants want to be the owners of Zhangzhou City themselves, so they use money to move up and down, so that most of the actual rights to do business here are placed on the idle hands controlled by them.

The government has shortage of personnel and low efficiency. Everything can be accomplished by idle sects. After Zhangzhou City is occupied, there will naturally be no valuable information. The generals of the garrison who sent troops are estimated to have at most four or five hundred foreign ghost soldiers in Zhangzhou City.

Because the Spaniards and the Portuguese can have such great power at most in this area. As for why such a few people can still take over the big city of Zhangzhou, no one feels strange. The military equipment is so relaxed that as long as the intentional pirates fight a raid, the dozens of yamen runners in the city are of no use.

However, none of them expected that there were not four or five hundred people in Zhangzhou City, but a total of 3,200 people. Although not all of them were white, as long as the ones standing in the outermost circle were white, the people inside worked harder on weekdays and put down their faces, no one would have any doubts.

The battle was not surprising. When the 6,000 Ming army encountered two thousand barbarian soldiers with distinctive troops, the huge gap between the number of people and the estimated was already a huge decline in morale. During the battle, despite the advantage of the number of people in the Ming army, they mainly encountered the "Spanish Invading Army" with a combination of spears and muskets. The Spanish large array can be said to be one of the most advanced military technologies of this era.

At the beginning of the battle, the Ming army took out various firearms and prepared to shoot the first round. I won’t say whether it will be effective or not, at least I will shock the opponent first. Unexpectedly, before entering the range, the opponent’s muskets were fired first, and the Ming army suffered a great loss in the first round of battle.

The musketeers retreated to the platoon after three rounds of rounds. The Ming army had already been killed by hundreds of people, and the subsequent battle was even more boring. The platoon was like a hedgehog, and the spike of the hedgehog could still fly out. The distance was farther and was hit by the musket, and the distance was closer. Because of the spear, they were still hit by the musket.

When the rhythm of the controlling squad's footsteps accelerated, the Ming army collapsed, and the generals could not restrain the soldiers who fled around. Fortunately, the Spanish squad had no speed when they were chasing, because even though more than a thousand people died, most of them ran away.

After the battle, the entire Fujian fell into a brief aphasia. The Spanish troops had more than 2,000 people, and their combat power was so powerful and the firearms were powerful. For a moment, the Ming army in Fujian thought that they could solve this inexplicable Western army, but after this incident, the other party had already controlled the big city of Zhangzhou City, and it could not be solved by relying on its own strength.

The expedited documents were sent to Nanjing and the capital through various channels, but what made Fujian officials relieved was that the "Spanish Army" seemed to be satisfied with occupying Zhangzhou City and showed no signs of further expansion of the occupied land. This allowed them to calmly mobilize their strength to defend and eliminate.

There is another scene in Zhangzhou City. The people of Zhangzhou have been under the Ming Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. The rule of foreign races has never been experienced for them. After the Western army entered the city, many people felt that the sky was about to fall. The most intuitive impression of the people of Zhangzhou is the Japanese pirates. Although the Westerners had dealt with each other in the past, they were all merchants and seemed to be quite harmonious. The various beastly actions of those Japanese pirates after occupying the villages were said to be attacking and the city gates were closed, and everyone was nervous.

Many people think that these "Spanish people" might be the same as the Japanese pirates. They are doing things wrong in Zhangzhou City. There are many people who are worried. After many people know that the city fell, their first reaction was to run with their families, but the five hundred cavalry who entered the city were not vegetarians. They used the fastest time to control several gates of Zhangzhou City. No matter how the citizens who were about to leave the city cried, they would not get out of the way. Some people thought that with the chaos of the crowd, the reactions of these cavalry were not too intense, so they could rush out.

Unexpectedly, after the cavalry, who were still restrained at the beginning, pulled out their swords and slashed them unceremoniously, and they immediately lost their minds. The city gates were in chaos and were not decent, but after the cavalry left, they had no intention of chasing them.

It was the same as when any city was broken. The rogues and rogues in the city reacted faster than the officers and soldiers and occupied troops. They soon gathered together to rob the house and took the opportunity to make a fortune. According to the past, the war was in chaos and no one could take care of it. It was the opportunity to make a fortune. When it was rumored that the Japanese pirates were going to enter the city, these rogues also took advantage of the panic in the city and looted several times, and there was no trouble for them afterwards.

The looting started quite smoothly. Several big families in the city were just caring about cleaning up the fines and soft things, and were not prepared. In addition, after a few years of peace, they lost their guard and made a big profit by these rogues.

The so-called "Spanish Occupy Army" was also very fast. Before they came out of the house, the fully armed soldiers outside were surrounded by this place. These scoundrels had no integrity at all. They immediately said they wanted to surrender. In their minds, the other party always needed some traits to support the scene. They were the first to surrender and would definitely not treat themselves badly.

The answers were ropes and shackles. These rogues were taken to the yamen of the Zhangzhou prefect, and their heads were cut off. The heads were tied to thick bamboo poles, and then they were erected in various parts of the city. After the poles were stood up, a soldier with a raised armor and a white face was read out in a stiff voice below and the chaos immediately subsided.
