118 Western Executioner

With the organization of the local treasurer and the leaders of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, the Ming Chinese in the Luzon Islands gradually gained a foothold, and stood in a mountain range more than 30 miles south of Manila, confronting the local natives and Spaniards.

More than 10,000 people of the Ming Dynasty were integrated together at this time, which was twice as much as the number of people in the Manila Castle combined.

Although there are sharp artillery and arquebuses, but the artillery is too heavy to be transported to the field to bomb the Ming people, although the arquebuses are strong, but the number of their Spanish regular soldiers is only more than 1,000 people, and no matter how arrogant they are, they dare not attack a Ming team with more than 10,000 people.

However, the losses of overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty were also heavy, and in the first wave of conflicts, it was conservatively estimated that more than 10,000 overseas Chinese and members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce died, and countless gold and silver goods were lost.

When the news of the riots in Manila reached Li Tianyang's ears, Li Tianyang's whole face turned pale, and he thought that no matter how treacherous and shameless the Spaniards were, they would not face their guns at the unarmed people of the four Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Tianyang's determination to eradicate Spanish Ren was firmer than ever before.

What relieved Li Tianyang was that after Li Tiansheng took control of the Shark Gang, he did not participate in the Spanish crackdown on the Ming people, otherwise Li Tianyang would really not be merciful to Li Tiansheng's younger brother.

Of course, at this time, what is said about the mercy of his subordinates is just Li Tianyang's strong confidence in his Hongmen strength, and when it comes to the battlefield, it is only unknown who wins and who loses.

Gan Xingzhi and they were unwilling to leave the Luzon Sea, Li Tianyang was naturally not easy to force here, and all kinds of bad news from Luzon made Li Tianyang unable to get out of Luzon, so he could only devote more energy and material resources to this side.

The original plan to weaken the strength of the Spaniards step by step was destroyed by reality at this moment, and Li Tianyang could only send more people back to Dayuan Island to mobilize the elite of Hongmen.

After waiting on the isolated island for almost a month, Li Tianyang and Gan Xingzhi sent a large number of people to Luzon to investigate the movements of various forces on Luzon Island, while quietly waiting for news from the headquarters on Hongmen Dayuan Island.

Although they were in a hurry when they fled to Apa Town, there was no problem in supporting the thousands of Hongmen, the Shark Gang and their families who were now trapped on the isolated island, so Li Tianyang and Gan Xingzhi still didn't have to worry too much about food and grass.

And after Li Tiansheng's side occupied the upper hand in the struggle for power, they were busy sorting out the chaotic Shark Gang at this time and sorting out all kinds of surging emotions in the gang, but they did not send people to track down Li Tianyang's whereabouts.

As for the Spaniards, they were even more busy, thinking that they would be able to re-use their old tricks to harvest a wave of overseas Chinese, but they didn't expect that after the Ming people had a leader, the resilience they showed was extremely strong, and now although they are at an absolute disadvantage, they are still persisting in the wilderness, and they have not been able to defeat them for a long time.

In order to be able to completely strangle this group of recalcitrant Ming Dynasty overseas Chinese, the Spaniards did not hesitate to disassemble the next batch of artillery from Manila and their fleet warships, and transported them to the mountains through many difficulties, and bombed the Ming people in the mountains.

There is no way, the biggest disadvantage of the Spaniards is the sparse population, the Ming people are not only not lost because of the continuous attack of the Spaniards, but with the passage of time, there is prestige and prestige among the overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty and the powerful faction shouts, and more and more overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty have come to join them and confront the Spaniards.

When Li Tianyang heard about the tragedies of the Ming people on the island, when he made up his mind to kill the Spaniards, he had already begun to actively prepare for the next battle.

The main force of the Hongmen of Dayuan Island is not able to cross far for the time being, but this does not mean that Li Tianyang has no way to make trouble for the Spaniards.

The reason why Li Tianyang suddenly wanted to inherit his father Li De's foundation - the Shark Gang was actually because he saw the powerful energy displayed by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, a consortium he temporarily formed, in the Luzon Islands, which made him see hope for dealing with the powerful Spaniards.

Li Tianyang did not have strong ambitions to fight for the original place at this time, and his greatest expectation was to be able to rule the future Qing people across the sea from the sea, so he had been silently concerned about the various forces around Dayuan Island.

The strength of the Spaniards made Li Tianyang temporarily cut off the idea of wanting to entangle and confront them, although Hongmen was strong at this time, he was still unwilling to let his development prospects be hindered for a Spaniard who only cared about Luzon.

But when he paid more attention to Luzon, and when he found that Luzon itself actually had a large number of Ming people living in it, and in fact the seemingly powerful Spaniards had this fatal flaw, Li Tianyang's heart, which had never lacked speculative ideas, suddenly turned smartly again.

If the Shark Gang is firmly controlled by him, Li Tianyang even believes that he doesn't need to spend too much energy and material resources on the Hongmen side, and only with the strength of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Shark Gang, he can slowly shake the dominance of the Spaniards, and finally replace it with a dream.

However, Li Tiansheng suddenly jumped out and snatched the dominance of the mad shark with himself, disrupting Li Tianyang's beautiful plan, and at the same time, the Spaniards shamelessly slaughtered the unarmed Ming overseas Chinese, which made Li Tianyang resentful, and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, the team organized by him, was strongly damaged, and all forces put pressure on it, so that Li Tianyang had to prepare to deal with the Spaniards in advance.

With the support of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Li Tianyang supported the leaders of the leaders who led and united the overseas Chinese of the Ming Dynasty on a distant island, so that this group of Ming people, who had never experienced a battle, were stunned and confronted and stalemate between the mountains and mountains with the heavily armed Spaniards for more than a month.

Time passed slowly, when the Spaniards were busy clearing out the Ming overseas Chinese gangs who resisted to the end, and when Li Tiansheng was still busy continuing to win people's hearts and eliminate the damage and impact caused by the previous war, Li Tianyang, who was only three days away from the Manila Castle in Luzon, temporarily lived on an isolated island, and finally ushered in Li Tianyang's long-awaited Hongmen Fleet army.
