Boss Wei looked carefully at the Malays and their villages on the opposite side and shook his head. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Following the orders of Zhen Nanbo, Boss Wei entered the rainforest to hunt down the fleeing Spanish soldiers. In the woods, Boss Wei found the footprints of five white Spaniards, and followed the footprints to the Malay fishing village by the river.

It is a very primitive village where the Malays live in thatched houses. Although it is a fishing village, the tools placed between the houses are harpoons, not even fishing nets.

In Boss Wei's opinion, these Malays are similar to savages. In the seventeenth century, on the island of Luzon, that is, the main island of the Philippines in later generations, the level of civilization was still very low, and it could not be compared with the Ming Dynasty at all.

But these Malays, who were very uncivilized, were equally ferocious, and between the contradictions between the Han Chinese and the white colonists, the Malay natives of Nanyang did not hesitate to side with the white colonists. Although the Han Chinese who came to Luzon brought advanced technologies such as farming, fishing, and weaving, the Malays regarded the Han Chinese as invaders.

In almost every massacre against the Han Chinese, the natives of Nanyang can be seen.

The white colonizers were no worse for the Malays either. The main income of white Manila came from the Chinese, including the raw silk trade and the collection of taxes from the Chinese in and around Manila. For the indigenous Malays, who were still in a state of ignorance, there was nothing for the whites to exploit if they wanted, so the whites did not collect taxes on the Malays, but only occasionally traded grain to the Malays with silver coins.

The indigenous people of the Nanyang Islands were technologically backward and sparsely populated, and the Chinese continued to migrate to them throughout the 17th century. The Malays felt threatened by the Chinese and were actually allies of the whites. At the last minute, the Spaniards in the royal city of Manila desperately ran out of the city, trying to escape to the Malay villages and hide.

In front of Boss Wei, the Malays from the small fishing village held up the scimitars they had obtained from the whites, and looked at the Ming people with loaded guns.

"Hand over the Spaniards! Escape to death! ”

One of Boss Wei's squad leaders shouted at the Malays, but the Malays did not know whether they did not understand or despised the Chinese, and were completely unmoved.

A Chinese shipbuilder beside Boss Wei wept bitterly and shouted, "General! My daughter and son-in-law were killed by these Malays! My daughter... My daughter died so miserably that night..."

The Chinese are the pillars of Manila, and in order to maintain the normal operation of Manila, the Spaniards left some Chinese craftsmen in key departments unkilled. This middle-aged shipbuilder is one of them.

At this time, he looked at the Malays in the small fishing village, as if he were looking at the enemy. He said that his daughter died so miserably, but he was unwilling to go into details, which made Boss Wei angry.

Apparently, the boatwright's woman had been humiliated by the Malays before she died.

According to Zhen Nanbo's order, the natives who dare to harbor the Spaniards will be killed.

"Shoot!"

"Papapa"

The rifle in the rifleman's hand erupted in flames and fired the bullet at the Malays, who did not know how thick the sky was. The Malay man holding the scimitar suddenly splattered blood, like a row of knocked down mahjong, plopping down to the ground.

The Malays didn't expect the Chinese rifles to be so powerful, in their eyes, the Chinese guns were comparable to the Spanish arquebuses...

No wonder the Chinese could defeat the Spaniards.

They panicked, turned and fled, fleeing into the rainforest.

At the same time, five Spanish soldiers rushed out of the thatched hut.

The Spaniards knew that if they continued to hide in the thatched hut, they would be caught and killed, and that they had to escape while the Ming riflemen were reloading. It took thirty seconds for the arquebus to reload, enough time for them to escape deep into the rainforest.

However, they still did not understand the rate of fire of the rear-loading rifle.

Boss Wei and the four squad leaders under his command were equipped with breech-loading rifles as officers. Seeing five Spaniards running out, the five quickly loaded the paper-shelled bullets into the bolt of the rear-loading gun.

"From left to right, aim in your own order!"

Five gunshots rang out, and five Spanish soldiers were shot in the back at the same time, falling to the edge of the rainforest screaming.

Boss Wei exhaled from his nostrils.

In this battle of Manila, Boss Wei was always a little unhappy. The Spanish fought in Manila with only 5,000 people, but killed more than 20,000 Chinese in the Eighth Company. Even if I kill all the Spanish men in Manila, it is still my Ming Han people who will suffer.

No matter how you calculate it, the Spaniards still owe me Han 20,000 blood debts.

Boss Wei led the squad leaders into the hut where the Spaniards were hiding, to check if there were any white people inside.

However, as soon as he walked into the thatched house, Boss Wei saw a white woman with a jeweled necklace around her neck curled up in the corner of the house.

The woman's face was full of panic, and she was clutching a dagger in her hand. She pointed the dagger at Boss Wei, and her body kept shrinking into the corner.

The four squad leaders looked the Spanish woman up and down. One of them walked up and easily snatched the dagger from the woman's hand and pinned the Spanish woman to the ground.

The woman on the ground roared loudly in Spanish.

Boss Wei didn't bother to take care of this woman, but the oar next to him seemed to be attracted by this Spanish woman, swallowed his saliva and said: "General, this Spanish woman said that she is the daughter of the governor of Manila, let us let her go!" She said that the Spaniards would pay him a gratuity! ”

Boss Wei looked at the oars and said, "The Spaniards' silver will be ours sooner or later, so we don't care about this honorarium." According to Zhen Nanbo, all the Spanish women were beaten as female slaves. However, these white people have coarse skin, rough flesh, thick hair, and heavy body odor, and generally no one buys them, and the price is very cheap. One thirty taels. ”

Boss Wei spoke at the oar, but found that the oar's eyes were looking straight at the white woman on the ground.

Boss Wei smiled and said, "Master Yuan, you have lost your middle-aged daughter and have no children under your knees, do you want to buy one as a concubine?"

Hearing that Boss Wei had the intention to sell the woman to him, the oar's eyes lit up, turned his head, and nodded vigorously.

Boss Wei laughed and said, "Master Yuan, I can remind you that now my Tianjin system discriminates against Caucasians. If you have offspring with this white woman, your offspring may be discriminated against by the pure-blooded Han Chinese. None of us decent people will marry a woman other than Han Chinese as a wife and concubine... Speaking of which, only those of you who have been with Spain can accept such a female slave..."

The oar said excitedly, "It's okay, it's okay... The general really sold this woman to me for thirty taels? ”

Boss Wei looked at the jewels around the woman's neck and said, "The jewels are going to be confiscated, and sooner or later this woman will have to be handed over to the slave market." As long as Master Yuan and I go to the quartermaster office to go through some handover procedures, there will be no problem. ”

The oar hastened to reply, "Well, I have bought this woman, and when I return to the city, I will give the general the silver!" ”

"Not for me, but for the Quartermaster's Office." Boss Wei waved his hand and said, "Help Master Yuan tie this woman's hands and escort her back to the city." ”

The oar said happily: "Generals of Bulao, I come, I come!" ”

He went up and tied the white woman's hands, and said a word of Spanish to the woman with joy.

The woman looked at the middle-aged oars in horror, and then at the Han officers behind the oars, and two tears flowed down at once.

Seeing the woman's humiliated appearance, Boss Wei smiled, clapped his hands and walked out of the thatched hut.

"Enter the mountains and continue to hunt down the Spanish soldiers!"
