Chapter 878: Dog Eats Dog
The Governor of Manila, Salcteau, was visibly frightened, and in less than half an hour, a group of Spanish colonial troops lined up in front of the Governor's Palace.
They quickly put the numbers in order, and Salctor himself gave a speech ordering the suppression of the riots.
Soon, the crackdown in the city began.
More than 2,000 Spanish colonial troops were scattered in the city, and in accordance with the orders of the governor, when they saw the local natives who had looted and slaughtered the Chinese, they unceremoniously warned them with sticks or opened fire.
For a time, the city was filled with gunfire and howling.
The atmosphere in Manila is completely different from when Zhu Cijiong arrived, with local natives howling and running fast, and many natives being captured and taken away by the Spanish colonial army with their knees and throats.
Some indigenous leaders shouted angrily, they didn't understand that some time ago, the Governor's Mansion also signaled them to carry out anti-Chinese riots, why did they suddenly aim their guns at "their own people"?
Could they have been kicked in the head by a donkey?
"The hateful white-skinned pig actually sent an army to suppress us!"
Some of the leaders quickly met to discuss important matters, and although they did not know why this was happening, they knew a reason.
You white pigs asked me to beat them, I beat them, and now you are beating me in the back?
Aren't you clearly bullying people?
The natives also have a temper, especially in the riots that have been involved in so many days, one by one they have already killed red eyes, no matter what white and yellow skin you have, do it all!
In this mood, the situation escalated again soon after, and the situation in Manila developed to the point where local natives and even Spanish shops began to loot.
The Spaniards in Manila had a small army and could not control it, and the situation was getting further out of control, and riots were everywhere.
In one day, more than a dozen Spanish colonial troops who were maintaining stability were killed on the spot!
The governor Salctor was furious, and scolded the aborigines in the governor's palace for their audacity, and dared to attack their master!
The Spanish colonial army carried out an even bloodier crackdown, just like when they first landed on Luzon, killing and killing!
Manila is not only the city of Manila, but also the vast area on both sides of the Bashi River.
At this time, the city of Manila was just a small castle, about the size of a city in a state and county of the Ming Dynasty, and the city was basically inhabited by Spanish soldiers, Catholic missionaries, as well as their families, servants, and a small number of indigenous nobles.
The Spaniards built a Fort Santiago fortress at the mouth of the Bashi River to serve as a barrier to the city of Manila.
Fort Santiago was home to a large number of Asian and European merchants, as well as some of the local natives who were naturalized by the Catholic gospel, forming a situation where many civilizations converged.
At this time, there was also a riot, and groups of natives were looting shops, whether Chinese or European merchants.
In front of an open Spanish trading house, several missionaries looked at each other and exclaimed, "My lord, why is this happening?" ”
The operation of the local natives to snatch the goods of the Spanish people apparently stunned the missionaries.
At the bishop's suggestion, the missionaries approached them and continued to preach the gospel in the name of the Lord.
However, these natives are obviously red-eyed, although they are religious, but in the face of interests, the gospel of the Lord does not allow them to let go of the possessions they have just received.
Bishop Akenia is also an old god who has been working for many years, and his influence among the natives is still not small, and he is also good at grasping human nature.
He pointed to the dock on the north shore and said, "Children, there is a dock for the Ming people, and they have a lot of merchant ships docking, and there are countless exquisite porcelain, mellow tea, and many more treasures.......
Listen, the eyes of the natives lit up, these are valuable treasures!
Soon after, at the instigation of the missionaries, the group of natives rushed to the pier on the north shore with swords, clubs, and clubs.......
Bishop Akenia smiled with satisfaction, what the people of the Ming Kingdom said about the plan to lead the water to the east is really good!
Located in Binongduo District on the north bank of the Bashi River, Daming Commercial Hall is the trading point of Daming at the mouth of Manila Bay, and there is a wharf in front of the commercial hall.
In front of the wharf, countless people surged and formed a long queue, all of which were Chinese who had fled to the Daming Merchant House for refuge.
On the sea, hundreds of Ming merchant ships that received orders from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to evacuate the Chinese, hoisting the four-star Golden Day flag, docked in an orderly manner to pick up the Chinese.
Dingwang Zhu Cijiong came to the wharf in person to organize Chinese to board the ship.
According to the current situation, the waste Spaniards can no longer control the situation, and the Ming must send troops to quell the chaos!
Before sending troops, the safety of the Chinese was the most important thing, and they had to be evacuated first.
The situation on the dock was chaotic, with a large number of separated expatriates looking for their loved ones, and the crowd was heard from time to time with the excited cries of reunions.
However, many more did not find their relatives, so they had to follow the flow of people to board the ship and leave, to the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence in Luzon, or to Taiwan and Guangdong.
Suddenly, a Ming soldier in charge of the guard exclaimed: "Look, someone is storming our dock!" ”
Everyone looked around, and saw that more than 100 natives were rushing in the direction of the dock, carrying swords and clubs, menacing.
On the pier, there was a commotion among the Chinese people who were about to board the ship, as if they had seen a group of hyenas that could bite people.
Zhu Cijiong immediately shouted: "Escort team, go kill them all!" ”
"Yes!"
The captain of the guard rushed over with a team of palace guards.
When these natives saw so many merchant ships on the dock, their eyes straightened, as if they had seen a mountain of gold!
Under the command of the missionaries, the natives swarmed up one by one, preparing to hijack the merchant ships here.
At this moment, suddenly several round things flew out of the sky and fell into the midst of the natives, still emitting white smoke.
The natives didn't know what it was, but one of the inquisitive natives, in the spirit of enthusiastic research, picked up a grenade and held it in my hand, and looked at it over and over again, as if trying to figure out what it was.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Not only did the exploratory natives crack, but all the surrounding natives cracked, and the grenade exploded among the natives, sending their flesh and blood flying, killing dozens of people in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after the gunfire, the guards who arrived shot indiscriminately without saying a word, and knocked over more than a dozen natives, and the rest of the natives were so frightened that they retreated again and again.
Seeing that the other party had a gun, the missionary who led the team turned around and ran away on the spot.
However, because he was wearing a long robe, he turned around too suddenly, and he tripped over himself and fell into a.
The boring battle soon ended, and most of the natives who came to deliver the food were shot and killed on the spot, except for a few who fled.
The missionary was also captured alive by the Ming army, and it was also the most popular and class-rich method of locking the throat with a knee......
