Chapter 516, Manila
Luzon Manila.
Manila is located on the east bank of Manila Bay, at the mouth of the Bashi River.
Manila Bay is a natural high-quality harbor, the overall shape of a horseshoe, the exit is very narrow, but the water level in the harbor is very deep.
The Bashi River is one of the largest rivers on Luzon, and the terrain near the Bashi River is open, flat and fertile, and it is the earliest area developed on the entire Luzon Island.
The inhabitants of Luzon at this time can be divided into two main parts, one is the native of Luzon dwarf blacks, dwarf blacks, very short in stature, very dark skin, and protruding cheekbones, thick lips and valgus.
They are these natives who have a very long history here, having migrated from Eurasia a long, long time ago.
At this time, their social structure was still very primitive and backward, in the tribal stage, distributed in the dense primeval rainforest above Luzon, mainly gathering and hunting.
The other part is the Malays who migrated from the Malay Peninsula and the Sumatra region.
The history of the migration of the Malays to Luzon can be roughly divided into three stages, the first stage is 200-300 BC, the Malays who migrated from this stage were basically wiped out by the dwarf blacks, and failed to compete with the native dwarf blacks.
The second phase of the migration of the Malays was around the 10th century, and this group of Malays established themselves in Luzon very smoothly and established the barangai system, which was a slave state.
It was not until the third stage of migration of the Malays, this group of Malays had been Silan, bringing with them various advanced technologies and production methods, and quickly established the Isilan Sultanate in Luzon and Sulu, which belonged to the feudal system.
But on Luzon, they still failed to completely defeat the native dwarf blacks, and the strength of each other was half a pound against eight taels.
However, because it is close to the Ming Dynasty and the trade with the Ming Dynasty is very frequent, there are also some Ming people who migrated to Luzon from Guangdong and Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, and gradually settled down here.
The Ming people are very diligent, full of wisdom, and have mastered all kinds of advanced technology and experience, although at this time, the number is not large, and it also belongs to the latecomers.
But he quickly became the rich man here in Manila, Luzon.
This has also aroused the eyes of the local Malays and black dwarves, so from time to time there will be some looting against the Ming people here in Manila.
These Malays and black dwarves found that the Ming people were very docile, and often did everything to go against the grain, even if they robbed them of their things and wealth, they often chose not to resist, which also greatly bred the greed of these Malays and black dwarves.
For them, instead of working hard to earn wealth, it is better to wait for these Ming people to create wealth, and then a wave of direct looting is clean.
Anyway, this Ming people seem to be able to make money, and it won't be long before they will soon become extremely wealthy again.
At this time, here in Manila, in the neighborhood where the Ming people gathered, many Malays and black dwarves rushed into the homes of the Ming people with weapons in their hands and red eyes.
While beating the Ming people fiercely, they began to grab everything when they saw it, and the Ming people would be beaten or even killed if they resisted a little.
"You brutes, you must not die well~"
"We are Da Ming people, sooner or later, my Ming Heavenly Army will come here and clean you up."
Chen Laohan looked like a bandit rushing to his house, robbing everything in his house and cleaning up the Malays and black dwarves, and the whole person couldn't help but cry.
He is originally from Fujian, and it has been 20 years since he moved here with his fellow villagers.
Here in Luzon, the climate is hot and humid, the land is fertile, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can easily live a rich life, without worrying about food and clothing.
In the past 20 years, relying on his hard-working hands, Chen Laohan and his family have worked hard to open up and farm land here in Manila, plus he has the income of a carpenter, so he quickly saved a good value here.
There are 100 acres of fertile land, and the rice planted can be cropped three times a year, and it doesn't even need much management; There are also several cows, and the house in the house is also beautifully built. Even Chen Laohan hired more than a dozen Malays and black dwarves to help him do things, which can be regarded as a small landlord.
Most of the surrounding Ming people are almost the same as Chen Laohan, who migrated from Guangdong and Fujian, and quickly took root here by virtue of diligence and wisdom, and became rich here just as quickly.
However, today, in the entire neighborhood where the Ming people are located, hundreds of Malays and black dwarves rushed out with sharp blades in their hands, fighting when they saw the Ming people, and robbing things when they saw them.
In the blink of an eye, the most prosperous and beautiful neighborhood in the entire Manila area was in shambles.
"Da Ming?"
"Your Da Ming is thousands of miles away, and they will send troops here for you people?"
When Rapp heard Chen Laohan's words, he couldn't help laughing, and then punched Chen Laohan hard, which made Chen Laohan dizzy.
Rapp is one of the few Malays in Manila who are proficient in Chinese, and has always made money by working as translators and intermediaries for Ming people who come to do business.
At the same time, he is also one of the culprits who prevented the looting and looting of the Ming people this time.
Often with the Ming people, get along, he has long been jealous of the wealth and wealth of the Ming people, Ming silk, porcelain, tea, etc., these things are very valuable things here.
Originally, he had a heart of reverence for the Ming people, but after getting along for a long time, he slowly discovered that these Ming people were actually very weak and deceitful, and although the Ming Dynasty was big, it was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to estimate it here.
So he came up with the idea of robbing the Ming people, and gathered some Malays and black dwarves to rush into the neighborhood of the Ming people, and robbed them here.
"Rapp, you brute, your parents were sick at the beginning, but I helped you introduce the doctor to cure you, and I also helped you pay for the consultation, you will take revenge now, you will definitely not die well."
Old Man Chen spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, looked at Rapp, who was like a jackal in front of him, and cursed fiercely.
"Haha, I didn't ask you to help, those two old things, it's just right to die, I'll raise them if you save it."
"I don't want to die well, I'm going to let you die now."
Rapp immediately laughed, and then said to the people around him: "Come, tie up their family, I will burn their family alive, I will see who of them will dare to resist us in the future." ”
"This is Luzon, not your Ming."
As Rapp's words fell, several people immediately came up to frame Chen Laohan, and Chen Laohan's wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, etc. were all set up.
"Tsk, Chen Laohan, your daughter is beautiful, I used to ask you in advance, you refused again and again, this time I will taste it first~"
When he saw Chen Li, the youngest child of Old Chen, Rapp's eyes lit up.
The Ming people are not only rich, but also much better looking than them in appearance, especially the women of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are gentle and charming, fair-skinned, coupled with the unique oriental temperament of the Ming people, here in Manila, it is simply standing out.
It's just that all along, the Ming people here don't marry outside, they don't marry outside, they only intermarry within the Ming people.
"Brute~" please net
Old Man Chen's eyes were split, and he couldn't help but say fiercely.
"Daddy~Daddy~"
When Chen Li heard this, she immediately cried out in fright, looking at Rapp's ugly appearance, like a demon, and the whole person was half frightened to death.
"Haha~"
"Scold, scold, you can scold as you like, when I'm done enjoying it, I'll slowly appreciate the way your whole family is burned to death."
When Rapp heard Old Man Chen's scolding, not only did he not have the slightest annoyance, but laughed happily.
Then he looked at Chen Li, saw her pear blossoms with rain, and said pretendly: "Tut, it's really pitiful for you to cry, don't worry, I will definitely be gentle with you." ”
"Haha~"
The surrounding Malays and black dwarves immediately laughed one by one, and then looked at Chen Laohan's daughters-in-law one by one, their eyes shining.
"Don't worry, everyone, when I'm done, it's your turn, everyone has a share~"
Rapp picked up Chen Li and walked inside, and the people around him laughed even louder.
"Brute~Brute~"
Old Man Chen scolded weakly, but then it had no effect.
He was dragged outside, dragged to an open place, tied him firmly to a stick, and piled up dry wood beside him.
His wife, his son, too, was flushed at this time, constantly struggling, constantly roaring, constantly wailing, and constantly crying.
However, not only did it not have any effect, but it made the people around him laugh even more.
The whole neighborhood is full of looters, all with big bags and small bags, with smiles on their faces, and behind them, there are familiar neighbors, some lying in a pool of blood, and some looking blankly and blankly at everything in front of them.
Only a handful of people resisted, but their fists were no match for their hands, and they soon fell under the butcher's knives of the Malays and black dwarves.
"Oh God~"
"I shouldn't have come here in the first place, even if Daming is not good, at least it won't be like this~"
Old man Chen raised his head to the sky and shouted.
At this moment, he regretted it, he regretted it incomparably, he regretted coming here, he had worked hard for twenty years, from a handsome young man to a rickety old man.
worked hard to save this huge family business, but in a blink of an eye, everything disappeared, making wedding clothes for others, and also affecting his own children and grandchildren.
Look at the side, his little grandson, who is only four years old, was also tied to a wooden stake by these beasts at this time, and the whole person was stupid, and he didn't even know how to cry.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that it was not his fault, the fault was that they had the wealth, but they did not have the power to protect it.
Although the Ming people are hard-working, although they are smart, they don't like to dance knives and guns, and they have always followed the principle of following the guest and the host, coming from afar, migrating here from the Ming Dynasty, and always abiding by everything here.
Far inferior to these Malays, wherever they go, they want to master everything, even your faith.
The weeping Ming people, the happy Malays and black dwarves, the ugliest scene in the world is staged here, but these people at the top of Luzon silently allow all this to happen, without the slightest intention of intervening in these things, and even behind the scenes, it is actually these high-level people in Luzon who are promoting all this.
The Ming people, although they are rich, are weak and can be bullied, in this case, they are simply like cutting leeks, harvesting the wealth of these Ming people wave after wave.
As for the consequences, they never thought about it.
The Ming court forbade the sea, and the sails were not allowed to go to the sea, and these Ming people who migrated over, they themselves violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that this place is far away from the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how powerful Da Ming is, what can he do with them.
The robbery and killing continued, and the laughter of the robbers and the weeping of the Akito were intertwined.
However, no one expected that at this time, in the middle of Manila Bay, a huge fleet of ships was slowly heading towards Manila.
On the Tarzan, Du Mingen was carefully looking at Manila not far ahead with a telescope.
"This is Manila, the largest city and capital of Luzon, and at the same time the largest port."
"But it seems like something is going on in this Manila?"
Du Mingen looked carefully, and soon discovered the turmoil here in the Daming neighborhood.
"Won't it?"
Lin Shuhong also picked up the telescope and looked at it carefully, and soon he saw the Chen Laohan family tied up in the open space.
"They seem to want to burn these people, these people who are going to be burned, how do they look like we are from the Ming Dynasty, this dress is completely different from these people around them."
Lin Shuhong said a little strangely.
"It's our Daming people, and these houses next to it are also our Daming style, which is completely different from the style of other houses."
Du Mingen looked at it carefully, and soon said with great certainty.
"What should I do?"
"We Ming people seem to have been bullied by these people, should we help?"
Lin Shuhong looked carefully, as Du Mingen said, these people knew at a glance that they were Ming people, and these houses were also very different from the simple and rough houses around them.
"Nonsense, of course you have to help, how can you watch your own people being bullied and indifferent~"
"Pass my order and prepare for shelling~"
Du Mingen did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered.
