With Du Mingen's order issued, the Ming army, which had already been prepared, began to attack the city.

The castle in Manila is not very high, but it is very hard, all made of stone, and the Luzon side also spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build this castle.

Although the city wall is not high, everyone came in a hurry and there are no siege equipment, so the better choice is to use muskets to suppress the Luzon soldiers on the city wall, and then send people to rush under the city gate and blow the city gate directly with explosives packs.

It's simple and easy.

"Bang~"

Under the city walls, the musketeers aimed at the people on the city walls, and with the billowing smoke rising, lead bullets carried clumps of blood on the city walls.

The flintlock muskets manufactured by the Miyun Iron Works have a long range and great power, and hundreds of muskets are aimed at the city wall at the same time, firing freely, as long as someone shows their heads, they will be hit mercilessly immediately.

It was only a few waves of firing that suppressed the Luzon soldiers on the city wall, so that they did not even dare to raise their heads, and all those who looked up had already fallen in a pool of blood.

As for Lagan, he was already scared half to death at this time.

This Ming man is too fierce, and he will fight directly if he doesn't agree with him.

From such a distance, their bows and arrows could not cause any damage to the Ming army at all, but the Ming army's muskets were able to easily attack them, and they couldn't even lift their heads.

"Fight back, fight back~"

"The Ming army came from afar, there are no supplies, and there are no siege equipment, their attack will definitely not last, give me a hard beat, let these Ming people know how powerful we are."

Rakan had a hideous look on his face and shouted loudly.

Hearing Lagan's order, the archers under his command tried to stand up and fight back, but as soon as they got up, they were immediately hit mercilessly.

The power and accuracy of the muskets were terrifying.

"Boom~"

Then, it didn't take long.

Suddenly, with a deafening loud bang, the solid city walls trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred, and here at the city gate, a white thick cloud of smoke and smoke shrouded it, and soon the bombed and shattered city gate was revealed.

"With this explosive pack, any wall can be easily broken, and the power is really too great."

Du Mingen looked at the city gate that was blown open, and the whole person couldn't help but sigh, the explosive bag is really easy to use.

The gunpowder researched by the Miyun Iron Works is very powerful, and dozens of kilograms of explosives are made into explosives bags, which are easily enough to blow up a big ship, and as for blowing up the gate of the castle in front of you, it is simply trivial.

"Kill~"

Du Mingen waved his big hand, and the Ming army behind him suddenly rushed towards the castle like a tide.

Manila's castle is not small, but it can be considered a small city, and it is inhabited by the powerful people of the entire Luzon country.

Of course, in this era, although Luzon occupies many islands, this Luzon Island is not small, but most of the area is undeveloped area, Luzon population is not large, counted, in fact, it is about the same as a small county.

In the past 20 years, Europeans came here and easily captured Manila, setting it up as a colonial stronghold, and then occupied the entire Luzon region.

The fleets of the Europeans were generally small in size and limited in armed forces, but they could still be easily taken by relying on guns, which shows how weak the power of Luzon was.

At this time, as the Ming army rushed in like a tide, the entire castle was completely chaotic.

The Ming army carried out Du Mingen's order, killed people when they saw them, and everywhere they passed, they killed mercilessly like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves and the wind swept the clouds.

The Malays and black dwarves in the castle were no match for the Ming army at all, and they were vulnerable, and in the blink of an eye, there were corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere.

On the city wall, Lagan wanted to escape, but the people under his hands were desperately fleeing like frightened birds at this time, and no one had time to care about him.

Soon he was captured by the Ming army.

The castle is not very big, and thousands of Ming troops soon occupied it completely, and all the Malays and black dwarves were like turtles in an urn, hiding in the corners of the castle one by one, constantly shivering.

The Ming soldiers were like bandits, fiercely smashing open one door after another, rushing in, killing when they encountered resistance, and starting to rob things when they saw them.

The people in the castle are all the magnates of the Luzon Kingdom, and they are far from being able to compare with the bitter hahas outside the castle.

"Got rich~Got rich~"

"Haha, I've made a fortune~"

One by one, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but shout excitedly.

In the homes of these magnates, gold ornaments can be seen everywhere, ivory, agate, coral, gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc., which can be found casually, so that the eyes of these Ming soldiers turned red one by one, and they began to dig three feet into the ground to scrape one by one.

"Pull dry~"

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong entered the city, looking at the pressed over, Du Mingen couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go, take us to see your palace." ”

As the king of Luzon, he must have the most wealth, and the wealth of other magnates can make these Ming troops under his hands rich, and the wealth of the king of Luzon will naturally belong to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

There is no way, this matter is too big, and it is necessary to come up with enough wealth to be able to make the emperor's side acquiesce in their operation, otherwise when you return to the Ming Dynasty, you don't know how many impeachment of Du Mingen will be in the court.

"I'll go~"

Soon, Du Mingen, Lin Shuhong and others came to the palace, looking at the golden palace in front of them, Du Mingen couldn't help but say.

Luzon is rich in gold and silver, and it also belongs to the South Seas region, with precious stones, agate, coral, ivory, and treasures from Tianzhu, Siam, Burma, etc., as well as treasures from the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and the Wa Kingdom.

The people here in Luzon are not like the Ming people, who pay attention to money and not show it, pay attention to low-key, modest or something, and they here like to show off.

From the king of Luzon, Lagan, down to these ordinary magnates, wealthy merchants, etc., they all like to show off.

Therefore, it is very obvious in terms of architecture and clothing.

For example, the Lagan in front of him, he is dressed in gold and silver, wearing silk from the Ming Dynasty, and a thick gold necklace hangs around his neck, and the pendant of the gold necklace is a fist-sized piece of the best imperial green jade. every day

At the same time, he also wore the finest jade bracelet on his hand, and his fingers were full of all kinds of rings inlaid with precious stones, jadeite, etc., and the crown on his head was made of gold, and the center was inlaid with an egg-sized gemy.

It can be said that the whole body of the person is full of gold and jewelry, and it doesn't look like a king at all, but more like a nouveau riche.

Another example is the palace in front of you, although it is not tall, and there is no comparison with the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, but it is very splendid.

It's really splendid~

The walls outside the palace were made of gold plates, and on the roof there was a jewel the size of a millstone, which was unusually dazzling in the sunlight, huge red coral, snow-white ivory, and the exquisite patterns on the city walls, which were inlaid with precious stones.

There are two large lions placed here at the entrance of the palace, which are obviously influenced by the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, and these large lions are actually carved from jade.

The floor tiles at the entrance of the palace are actually made of silver, which are cleaned and clean, and under the sunlight, people are dizzy to see.

"~"

All the people who saw this scene in front of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were dumbfounded when they looked at the golden palace in front of them.

This sentiment is to move the gold, silver, jewelry, jade, etc. of the entire Luzon kingdom here to build this royal palace?

"This is a fortune~"

Du Mingen traveled from south to north, saw a lot of knowledge, and saw a lot of all kinds of treasures, and his eyes were very powerful.

Looking at the decoration of the palace in front of you, you can see that these things are very valuable, not to mention anything else, just the jade with the size of the millstone on the roof, which can be regarded as a priceless treasure.

There is also red coral, coral is very valuable in Daming, especially red coral, but the red coral of Daming is very rare, even if there is, it is not big.

The red coral in front of me is only used for decoration, it is very large, and the color is very ruddy, and it is definitely the top red coral.

There are also these ivory, treasure mountain, pearls, etc., all of which are top-notch things, in Daming, they are all things that everyone is willing to buy at a high price, and they are often priceless, and money may not be able to buy them.

Not to mention anything else, just getting these things back to Daming is enough to easily sell millions of taels of silver, and some people will be willing to smash the pot and sell iron to buy these treasures.

"I've made a fortune, I've really made a fortune~"

"Let's go, go inside the palace and have a look~"

Du Mingen was full of smiles, and couldn't help but want to go in and see what treasures were still in this palace.

The gates of the palace were opened at the behest of Ragan, and the modest palace was no less luxurious, and everything was magnificent.

Gold-clad walls, silver-paved floor tiles, rockeries made of huge coral, ornaments made of ivory, pearls, precious stones, jade, and other exquisite patterns.......

Everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes were straight, and everyone who watched looked stupid.

Even Du Mingen, a well-informed person, couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and his eyes were red.

Too rich~

And it's too proud.

These things, the Ming Emperor may not be able to make up.

It's not that Emperor Hongzhi is poor, or that the Ming Dynasty is poor, but the main thing is that the Ming Dynasty is not rich in these things.

Like coral, Daming's corals are basically tributed from the South China Seas, this kind of thing from the ocean, Daming is very rare, and it is extremely difficult to mine.

There is also ivory, there are no elephants here in Daming, where does the ivory come from?

All the ivory needs to be purchased from Siam and Annam or paid tribute, and the ancient seafaring technology was limited, and the goods that could be carried at any time were very limited, and it was difficult to get a large number of these things.

There are also pearls, gold, etc., the output of these things in the Ming Dynasty is very small, the key is that the quality is not good, even if the Ming Emperor is rich all over the world, it is not impossible to get a large number of these things.

However, this requires huge financial, material and human resources, which will cause a huge burden on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But this king of Luzon, he was able to decorate his palace with these things, and the whole palace was decorated with magnificence and luxury.

It's not that he's really richer than the Ming Emperor, but because he's in Luzon, where gold and silver are produced, and there's a lot of these things here.

Not to mention pearls and corals, which have been important sources of pearls and corals since ancient times, and are close to the country of Boni, Siam and Annam, and ivory, gemstones, jadeite and other things are not rare.

Naturally, this palace can be decorated so luxuriously that everyone's eyes are straight.

"Got rich~"

"I really got rich~"

Not only Du Mingen was shouting, but all the people who rushed into the castle were constantly shouting excitedly.

Everyone began to sweep every corner of the castle like locusts, and rare pearls, corals, ivory, precious stones, jade, gold, silver, etc. were everywhere here, and a little was enough to eat for a lifetime.

In every corner of the castle, a pair of Ming soldiers were like crazy, one by one, big bags and small bags, full of them, constantly looting, eager to dig three feet into the ground, and move everything here back to the Ming Dynasty.

In the palace, Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong led people to Lagan's treasure house, and the heavy treasure house door was slowly opened, and everyone poured in.

"I'll go~"

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong were better, and some of the other people who followed couldn't help but marvel.

This small treasure house in front of me is full of gold, gold is smelted into bricks, and it is full of piles here, and at the same time there are large boxes, as soon as the box is opened, there are boxes of pearls, jadeite, agate, gemstones, all kinds of colors, which make people dazzled.

"I'm really rich, I'm afraid there are millions of taels of gold alone~"

Lin Shuhong smiled and said, he was quite calm, after all, when he was in the Golden Continent, he had seen the cities and houses built with gold, and the treasure house full of gold and jewels in front of him was quite good.

"There must be millions of taels, if you count these things outside, tens of millions of taels of silver will definitely not be able to run, the key is that these things, many of them can't be bought with money in our Daming."

Du Mingen estimated slightly, nodded with a smile and said, this time he really made a fortune.
