Chapter 547 They Are Here
The Luzon State began to pay tribute in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the 30th year of Jiajing, some people said that it was caused by Emperor Jiajing's misconceptions. You can check this history, but the author will not write it, so as not to mention the number of words.
According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, "Next year, I declared that I would invade the country and pay for iron tools in the market. The Chinese were greedy for profit and sold them all, so the family was unarmed. The chief ordered the names of the Chinese, divided into three hundred people into a courtyard, and then the incident was exposed. After a moment of exposure, the Chinese people walked into the vegetable garden. The chief sent troops to attack, but the people had no soldiers to fight, and they died indefinitely, and rushed to Dalun Mountain. The barbarians came to attack again, and the people fought to the death. The barbarians regretted it and sent envoys to discuss peace. The people suspected that they were fake and rushed to kill them. The chief was furious, and gathered the people into the city and set up the ambush beside the city. The people were very hungry and all went down the mountain to attack the city. The people were furious, and all the people were defeated, and 25,000 people died one after another. The chief found orders, and all the Chinese people who had looted were sealed with the warehouse!"
Through this historical description, we can learn that the Luzon king's plan was to launch a high-price acquisition of iron tools by attacking neighboring countries. The Chinese living in Luzon sold all the iron tools at home because they were unknown, resulting in a "unarmed family".
The King of Luzon seized this opportunity to massacre Chinese people and took advantage of the situation to rob all Chinese property in Luzon. After a five-month "Luzon Massacre", more than 25,000 Chinese people, who were originally more than 30,000, were tortured and killed.
Mao Yuanyi was silent.
Liu Mingyu looked cold: "Emperor Jiajing could not fight. At that time, someone in Jiangnan urged the rebellion of invasions. There were Mongols in the north. The world was unstable, the military was not strong, and the navy was abandoned. There was no way. This was a pity!"
Liu Mingyu led the main fleet to dock at Tainan Port and used Tainan Port's reserves to replenish supplies. There was no way to lose a lot of money for a small battle. Unless you get the money from Shi Jian Yinshan, you will lose a lot of money just by relying on the capture on the battlefield.
Liu Ming met Lin Fusheng and other survivors on the Wei Qing warship.
Lin Fusheng and others saw Liu Mingyu, hugged Liu Mingyu's thighs and howled and cried.
The sixty-three survivors, men and women, are mostly old, weak, women and children. The injuries on their bodies have almost healed, and almost everyone has scars.
A three or four-year-old child behind Lin Fusheng was stabbed in the face and cut from the eyebrow bone in his left eye to his chin. His three or four-year-old child had lost one eye.
In fact, he still survived, and there was a girl, Moyue, who looked seven or eight years old. Her arms had been cut off and her blood was still exposed.
As for the bruised nose, swollen face, and skin and flesh, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Liu Mingyu looked at everyone and said, "You..."
Liu Mingyu was actually very angry, but the problem is that the incident of the slaughter of Hua in Fei, Lu and Bin was not accidental, but again and again, why didn’t he remember it?
Chinese people in the Philippines, Lu and Bin are rich people who can completely arm themselves.
Liu Mingyu looked at everyone and said, "My fellow villagers, after this incident, you have also seen that only when the country is strong can you not suffer this humiliation. You should also see clearly what foreigners look like and what those natives look like. After this, everyone can clearly see it! You can go to Liaodong now, of course, you can also live in the great officials, or go back to the Ming Dynasty. If you have the courage, follow me to Luzon. For those people in Luzon, I only have six words, blood to repay blood, life to repay life! "
"Blood returns blood, life returns life!"
The soldiers of the Liu family roared, and their voices soared into the sky.
Mao Yuanyi was very moved for a moment.
Perhaps, Liu Mingyu is right.
"Notify all ships, raise their sails, and move forward at full speed, and target Manila!"
With the order issued by Liu Mingyu, the 38 main warships of the Liu family's Navy, a land combat brigade, with nearly 40,000 troops sailing towards Manila.
During this voyage, Liu Mingyu ordered Feng Yandong to recruit 5,000 to 10,000 small-day warriors in Little Day, arm them, and let them arrive in the Philippines by boat.
Since we decided to use violence to fight violence, we will have a more thorough job.
Only magic can defeat magic. After three days of navigation, the Liu family naval fleet encountered Spanish naval warships in advance.
Before the battle began, Liu Mingyu picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the Liu family army: "As the commander of the Liu family army, I issued an order to all the Liu family soldiers. In the next battle, all the Liu family navy soldiers are not allowed to accept the surrender of any native or Spanish people. I do not believe in God. Your duty is to send them all to see God!"
The Governor's Office of Manila, the huge hall of the conference was empty at this time.
The Spanish Governor of Manila, Coracque, stood on the chair like an ant on a hot pan, looking at the door from time to time, and he seemed a little anxious and uneasy.
As the governor of a colony, he was simply the Supreme Emperor and had supreme power.
However, Corraqui was extremely uncomfortable. He was the colonial governor of the Spanish Empire during the decline of the Spanish Empire.
The rise of the Spanish Empire, unlike other countries, passed through war annexation. They were through a series of marriages.
Maximilian's carefully arranged political marriage made his grandson Charles V (called Carlos I in Spain) the overlord of Europe.
In 1506, Charles' father, Philip, died young, and Charles inherited the Duke of Burgundy and became the first ruler of the Spanish Netherlands (Netherlands and Belgium).
In 1516, Charles' grandfather, King Ferdinand II of Spain, died of illness, and Charles became King Carlos I of Spain.
Since then, the whole of Spain, Sicily, Sardinia, the Kingdom of Naples in southern Italy, and Spanish colonies in the Americas have become the areas of governance of the Habsburg dynasty.
No matter what, the boss's position is difficult to do.
The first one to jump out to challenge Spain was Britain, ending a hurricane that destroyed the Spanish invincible fleet, followed by Portugal and the Netherlands... In addition to dealing with a group of unconvincing younger brothers under his opponents, Spain also had to resist the Ottoman Navy and the *** pirates.
By the time of Philip IV, Spain first experienced the disastrous defeat of the Invincible Armada and then experienced a war for thirty years.
This thirty-year war can be regarded as a world war in the medieval period, also called a religious war, because of the war between Protestantism and Catholicism.
The parties participating in the war were Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, the United Kingdom of Norway and Denmark (changed camps in 1636), and the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania.
The sides against the match are the French, Lan, West Kingdom, Sweden Kingdom, Bohemia Kingdom, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the Republic of the Netherlands, the Republic of the Republic of the United States (Netherlands), Saxony Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral Electoral (Germany, Randenburg), Brandenburg-Prussia (Berlin), Brunswick-Lunaburg, the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Scotland, the Principality of Transylvania, the Hungarian anti-Habsburg rebels, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Tsarist State, to the German Protestant princes and Bohemia, Transylvania, Italy's anti-Habsburg movement.
The entire war can be said to be a world war in the medieval era, which directly led to two consequences. First, the status of Spain's European hegemony was pulled down, and the second result was the formation of the German nation and the national subjects of European countries.
At this time, although Spain had a huge territory, it inevitably declined.
Portugal was ready to move and seek independence. The Dutch had been provoking Spain's hegemony, and Britain was also eyeing it. Under such circumstances, as the governor of the Philippines in the Far East, Corraquet had no support from the Spanish Kingdom's troops and fleet, but the Ming Dynasty was still a behemoth in a close place.
Just then, there were sounds of knocking outside the door.
"Come in!"
"So it was Colonel Vargas, is there anything wrong?"
Vargas smiled bitterly and said, "Governor General, there is news from the Ming Dynasty!"
"Let me guess, is it good news!"
Corraqui smiled. As the governor of the Far East, he knew that he had spent a lot of energy to understand the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty, which was almost the same as the Spanish Empire. The Ming Empire is now also suffering from internal and external troubles. The Ming Empire is not like Spain. The powerful naval fleet of the Ming Empire was once even stronger than the Spanish invincible fleet.
It's just a pity that this fearsome powerful fleet has become a term in history, just like the Spanish invincible fleet. Spain's biggest advantage is that they also have a powerful Mediterranean fleet, which can basically guarantee the empire's territorial waters.
Unfortunately, the Ming Empire did not have such a powerful navy.
Luzon and the Ming Dynasty did not directly border, and the Ming Dynasty's two million troops could not cross the sea.
"Governor General, you are wrong in guessing. The people of the Ming Dynasty are here, they are here!"
Corraqui looked at Vargas in disbelief: "The joke you made is not funny at all. The Ming Empire was worried about domestic and foreign troubles and couldn't take care of itself. Ten years ago, the Dutch obviously lost, but occupied the southern part of the senior official. If..."
"Governor General, I really hope today is April Fool's Day, but the problem is, it's really, they've arrived, hundreds of warships, have arrived in Manila Bay, if you walk to the dock now, you can see their warships!"
"Oh, God!"
Corraqui covered his forehead in pain. As the saying goes, what he is afraid of is what he is. When he launched an action to massacre the Chinese, many things have gone out of control. He did not handle the Chinese as easily as his predecessors.
In fact, even without Quan Xu's intervention, the massacre lasted for more than 120 days. More than a month has passed. Except for most of the Chinese in Manila City, many Chinese farmers have been trapped in their own manors, and the indigenous people...
It left Corraqui very speechless. Although they had a tenfold advantage in quantity, they had no choice but to conquer those castles.
That's right, in Coracque's eyes, the Chinese landlord plantations are like castles, but in fact they are just landlords' courtyards.
Now that the Ming army's huge fleet is coming, what should I do now?
After thinking about it, Coracque immediately made a decision.
