750 Emperor Chongzhen's Oath

Sure enough, in the direction of the port, the artillery of the Ming fleet stopped bombarding the city. The guns all lowered the elevation angle and only bombarded the walls of Manila.

The Ming infantry, which had landed earlier, accelerated the pace of the attack and pressed in the direction of the city wall in an all-round way.

Under the gate of the port of "Knock Knock ......Knock", a large group of Spaniards and Dutchmen who had escaped from the battleship were completely unaware of the situation in the city, and they were still knocking vigorously on the door, shouting to open the door and let them in.

At this time, the Spaniards in the city, as well as those natives, saw that the east gate had been broken and the red flow of people was constantly flocking into the city, and they still had the slightest resistance and fled in fright.

Even if Diego, the governor of Luzon, is desperately shouting, it is useless to escape, the Ming army will definitely kill them all, it is better to resist desperately now.

However, at this time, who would listen to him, just ask for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and he can escape and ascend to heaven.

With a "squeak", the city gate opened from the inside.

When the Spaniards and Dutch, who were shouting outside, saw it, they were overjoyed and rushed inside like a fire burning their butts.

However, they never imagined that the people inside, whether they were Spaniards, natives, or those Japanese people, would go crazy and jump out.

is so retrograde, is it to go to the Ming infantry army that has been killed outside the city? What courage! As the Spaniards and Dutch fled to the city, they couldn't help but think in admiration.

Of course, some people suspect that this doesn't seem right, if they really go to the counter-charge, how can they be so flustered, and some people are even empty-handed! What's going on? Look at them, as if there is a man-eating demon in the city, running for their lives!

While they were thinking about it, it was estimated that a familiar Spaniard met them head-on, and they heard the one running out of the city shouting: "Run, the city gate has been broken by the Ming army, and the city is full of Ming troops!" ”

Hearing this, the Spaniards who fled into the city were dumbfounded!

What's going on, why was the city gate broken by the Ming army, where did the Ming army come from, what are you doing to defend the city?

No matter what they thought, they did not dare to run into the city anymore, so they were immediately led by the flow of people who had fled from the city, and fled out of the city.

Their entry and stay in the city seriously hindered the escape of the people in the city. So much so that near the city gate, a lot of people soon piled up.

In the city of "Killing ......", the advancing Ming army saw it, and rushed over with shouts of killing, and its morale was like a rainbow and unstoppable.

The Japanese people under the city gate were in a hurry, and brandished their katanas, and slashed at their employers: Death to those who stand in my way!

The city gate was broken, and under the attack of the Ming army outside the city, whether it was the Spaniards, the Dutch, the natives or the Japanese, they all had no heart to resist, and thought that they could escape by chance. The resulting cannibalism, scurrying like a headless fly, stunned Diego at the head of the city.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over......" Returning to his senses, Diego couldn't help muttering to himself, his expression was very sad, no different from his whole family who died, "Manila is over, Luzon is over, the Far East is over......"

The people around him were scurrying around, fleeing in all directions, and he didn't care, just being there in a daze, waiting until the gunshots were getting closer and closer, the dense sound of "Woo Woo Woo", and the shouting of the Ming army came, so that he came back to his senses.

Seeing that most of the city of Manila was full of Ming troops in red uniforms, chasing and killing the Spaniards, Dutch, natives and Japanese people who were scurrying around, Diego laughed miserably and said: "Retribution, haha, retribution!" Yesterday I slaughtered them, today he slaughtered us, hehe, haha......"

While laughing miserably, he took out his flintlock short gun from his arms, looked down at the gun, and then turned his head to look behind him, the Ming army outside the city had also been killed under the city, and in the distant port, more Ming warships had docked, and countless Ming soldiers were disembarking......

Diego raised his flintlock pistol and aimed it at his head, and finally took a look at the Ming army in pursuit, as well as a group of Ming soldiers who were pounced on him, and pulled the trigger.

With a "snap", Diego, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and when he saw that the flintlock short gun in his hand was not on fire, he was ready to shoot his head again.

However, this time, before he could shoot, he felt a pain in his lower back, and the whole person flew out.

A Ming soldier stepped on Diego's hand holding the gun, and regardless of Diego's pain on the ground, he turned around and shouted: "Brother Liu, this seems to be a big official in Xiyi!" ”

That Brother Liu, that is, Liu Fugen, slashed a Spaniard to death, only then did he hold the blood-dripping knife, strode over and looked at the person who stepped on the ground, and when he was looking, another person strode to his side, looked down, and shouted in surprise: "Brother Liu, this person is turned into ashes, I also recognize it, it is the governor of Spain, the governor of Spain in Luzon!" The biggest official! ”

As soon as Liu Fugen heard Wang Afu say this, it must be right, and he was also happy, and immediately shouted: "Tie up!" ”

After shouting, he commanded the others to shout: "Kill from that side, don't give them a chance to resist in formation, kill me ......"

…………

The Ming navy's attack on Manila City was very fierce from the beginning, and according to later statistics, less than one-tenth of the gunpowder guns and ammunition carried by the navy were finally left. The warships of the Spanish and Dutch fleets, all of which were beaten to shreds, had no possibility of repairing them at all, sank in the harbor, and if they did not obstruct the harbor, they would not even have the will to salvage.

The city of Manila was slaughtered by the Ming army and the Portuguese coalition army. Whether it was the Spaniards, or the Dutch, or the Japanese people, the natives, etc., they were all killed, and the blood flowed like a river.

This was the only massacre during the re-emergence of the Ming Empire, and the only time during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen. In this regard, some civil officials suggested to Emperor Chongzhen that the responsibility for the slaughter of the city should be put on the Portuguese, so as not to damage the Confucian avenue.

Even Lu Xiangsheng, who commanded the attack on Luzon, wanted to announce to the outside world that he ordered the massacre. However, his approach was also rejected by Emperor Chongzhen without hesitation.

It just so happened that the reply from the King of Portugal arrived, not only signed an agreement and recognized Daming as his brother, but also sent the most warships that Portugal could send on the mainland, a total of more than 30 ships, just to do the first business with Daming to escort the military resources that Portugal urgently needs.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen not only gave a holy decree to the country, but also issued an edict to Portugal, asking them to take it to Europe and publicize it: "Luzon Xiyi and the local aborigines slaughtered the Ming people four times, regardless of men, women and children, such evil deeds, people and gods are angry!" How to repay virtue with virtue? Don't think I'm muddy, dare to attack my Ming people, I will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, Luzon is an example! Although the ends of the earth are far away, I will never spare them! My oath can be learned from heaven and earth! ”

In this will, Emperor Chongzhen's determination to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of occupation, no matter where he is, can make anyone feel how resolute. This made the people of Daming, especially those businessmen, all moved to tears!

Since ancient times, there has been an emperor who takes the people of the Ming Dynasty so seriously, even Tang Taizong, who knows the "water boat truth", does not mean to protect the people today!

With Emperor Chongzhen's will, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige rose to a new level.

At this time, if you want to ask the people of the Ming Dynasty, which emperor is the best? There is no doubt that it is none other than Emperor Chongzhen! Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, or the Taizu and Chengzu of this dynasty, cannot surpass today's son in the minds of the people!

After the end of the Luzon War, Emperor Chongzhen also issued an order to change Luzon to Luzon County, which was under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan government. Build a tomb and memorial hall for the murdered Ming people on Luzon Island to commemorate the murdered Ming people. On the day of its inauguration, Diego, the governor of Luzon, Spain, was sacrificed to the souls of the dead.

As for Anthony, the governor of Batavia, the Netherlands, Emperor Chongzhen let him go, but he strictly explained that if someone was killed in the Ming people in Batavia, then Emperor Chongzhen could go to Europe in person and slaughter the entire Netherlands.

Seeing how the Ming navy defeated Luzon, and watching the Ming army slaughter the city, Anthony still had the courage to kill the Ming people in Batavia again, and hurriedly promised that he would never let the Ming people lose a single hair.

With the Spaniards as an example, Anthony was really scared. This emperor of the Far Eastern Empire, who was even more powerful than Caesar of the Roman Empire, is now joining forces with Portugal and saying that he will kill the Netherlands, which is really not a casual talk.

…………

Unlike Manila, Batavia is not built directly by the sea, but inside, connected to the sea by a river, with a fence at the mouth of the river. Compared to Manila, it is easier to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, inside the city of Batavia, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Originally the builders of Batavia, migrant workers from the Ming Dynasty, are now all concentrated in the square, surrounded by a fence, and guarded by many Dutch and other Dutch mercenaries.

As long as they are not stupid, everyone knows that no matter whether they can escape this time or not, the Ming people will be very sad in this Batavia.

This can be seen from the fact that when Kapitan, who was elected by the Dutch to manage the Ming people, went to negotiate and communicate with the Dutch, he was treated badly by them, and the situation was already very clear.

All Ming people are in fear, waiting for fate to come every day. As time passed, this fear grew.

However, what else can they do? And no one can call the shots for them!

Although they are Ming people, they are no longer in the Ming country, the taxes are all handed over to the Dutch, and their leader is Kapitan, and now the Dutch want to turn their faces, then they can only be fish and meat on the knife board!

It can be said that these Batavian Ming people are desperate!

On this day, I finally waited for the return of Antony, the governor of Batavia.
