There are only five people with titles and noble status, plus this chick, after all, the big man can get the news as soon as the city is broken, and go to St. Philip to take refuge in the castle, but the price of saving these five people is a whole thousand bags of food!

The defenders of the castle of St. Philip carried out the sacks of grain, and the five men tied to the city were also pushed to the city gate, let go, and watched them enter the city, except for the governor Darazan, the archbishop Ondolema, and a few councillors, all the remaining guards, including the men, cooks, and servants who had fled to the city, were all dead.

Fort San Philip is not one of the best castles in Spain, not only compatible with the experience of hundreds of years of war with the Crusaders, but also absorbs the advantages of the Dutch fortress defense in the 80-year war.

The bigger the fortress, the better, the smaller, the fewer defenders are needed, the more the enemy's strength advantage cannot be shown, don't look at the defenders there are more than 200, Huang Degong actually wants to take it is not easy, if you don't throw a thousand 800 lives, you really can't gnaw it.

With the help of the fortress, maybe the Spaniards in Manila could really defend until the Spanish army came back.

But now this expectation is basically in vain, no matter how few people are, they still have to eat, and almost most of the food reserves are taken out to ransom people, and in terms of food supplies, there are not many days left in Fort Philip.

And on this day, the fortress carried out food, outside the fortress on the other side of the execution, in order to catch up with the efficiency, a gallows hung five, five minutes is fifty, ten hours, in order to pay for the lives of the Ming diaspora, more than 5,000 Spanish expatriates were sentenced to hanging, the Spaniards had no mercy for the Ming, Huang Degong returned the courtesy, blood for blood, and the old and weak women and children of the Westerners were also executed, and in the evening, the strangled human corpses had been piled up under the castle of St. Philip.

Watching the executions around the clock, watching people twitch on the slings like fish, especially many people who still know themselves, even relatives, the wails above and below the city come and go, and in the evening, most of the people in the fortress are nervous and collapsed.

Today's lucky person, who came to the East, I don't know if it is to experience the life of the navy, the duke's granddaughter Serita staggered and followed a few guards, just before stepping into the fortress gate, it happened that a group of freshly dissolved corpses were thrown under the city, and looked back with great hatred, looking at the gloomy and immobile formation of the Ming army, this little girl couldn't help but tremble again.

Once upon a time, even after the defeat of the Thirty Years' War, the concept of the Spanish Empire being the world's first power was still deeply rooted, but now looking at the sea of corpses and blood, this concept began to crumble in Cerita's mind.

As the sunset fell, the bright red sunset covered the entire city of Manila with a layer of blood, the people were killed, the revenge was half avenged, and it would not be able to capture this difficult walnut for a while, and the long-standing Huang Degong did not waste time here, except for leaving a regiment to set up a barrier around the fortress to besiege Fort San Philip, the rest of the people scattered back to Manila City, and after saying hello to Yuan Dabao of the navy, they repaired the manors occupied everywhere.

After all, it's a very tiring thing to run all night, kill people and kill people for another day.

Seeing that the Ming army was retreating, Archbishop Ondolema came back to his ability, brandishing his magic stick and staff, and boosted morale around the city wall.

"See? This is what happens to the infidels, God's followers, show your courage and resist the infidels! ”

As he walked, he was still shouting, but he had just given the enemy the food needed to hold the fortress with his own hands, and he really didn't pick up too much of the army's heart when he said such words, and the guards who had lost their families should be depressed or depressed, looking at the corpses and piling up, and the fearful were still in fear, and the entire Spanish defenders fell into a slump.

The first day of fighting ended with a vendetta.

…………

However, early the next morning, in the roaring sound of bull horns, the Ming troops who rushed out of their respective manors did not continue to St. Philipburg, but turned around, after all, there was still an account that had not been settled!

A traitor is always more hateful than a devil! The Spaniards were indeed bloody and cruel slaughterers of the Ming people and formed a blood feud, but the Spanish authorities in Manila, who only relied on a population of more than 5,000 and a thousand troops, could not slaughter the Ming people so easily.

Even if there were innocent Spaniards who were hanged yesterday, every native in the city had the blood of the Ming people on their hands.

Just like the anti-Chinese massacre in 98 years later!

If you don't clean it up, this trip will be more than half in vain.

These natives are also considered to be bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, the night before yesterday the army entered the city, usually arrogant and domineering to the Ming people of the natives wilted, last day, in front of Fort Philip, the Ming people in the past high white men have hanged one after another, but also frightened the courage of these natives, the whole Manila has 35,000 or 6,000 natives, of which the tribal family is no less than 7,000, which is considered the strongest force in addition to the Spanish army, but witnessing the Spaniards being killed, these guys did nothing, Obediently hiding at home in the hope of getting by, this kind of ostrich behavior with their heads buried in the sand deserves their bad luck.

The cannon was forced to the corner of the street, and the cold and shining bayonets blocked the road, and under Huang Degong's order, a large number of Ming troops rushed in mightily, repeating the arrest of the Spaniards yesterday, and thousands of black-skinned and small natives were escorted out in fear.

Those knives and sticks that had been stained with the blood of the Ming people didn't even dare to take them out, and in just one day, the Spanish natives in Manila were so easily disintegrated.

It's just that for this part of the people, Huang Degong didn't have a single order to slaughter them all, and death was too cheap for them, in the bitter begging for mercy and wailing, these people were shackled and shackled one after another, and escorted to the East India Company fleet that had been docked in Manila Bay, and stuffed under the dark ship like ballast.

Marx once mentioned in "Capital" that when capital comes to the world, under the glamorous appearance, every pore is full of blood and filth! The glory of the United States in later generations is based on the blood, sweat and bones of black slaves and Chinese laborers, but although it is sinful, oppression is also a shortcut needed for social development.

The island of Taiwan, which has just occupied most of it, has a lack of coolies on the plantations, and even in the coal mines of Shanxi in the north, in order to meet the needs of more and more railways, there is a great demand for cheap labor, but the Ming Dynasty is slightly more noble than the Westerners who trade black slaves, at least these natives have enmity with the Ming, but the blacks have no grudge against the Spaniards and the British.

It's really like loading goods, a ship can be stuffed with thousands of people, densely crowded under the cabin, there is no space to sit, and he doesn't care about ordering the cabins to be closed, Yuan Dabao, who has evolved into a "capitalist lackey", shook hands with Huang Degong with a smile.

"I speak for the East India Company! Thank you General Huang for your contribution! ”

However, after shaking hands, Huang Degong shook his head deeply and sighed with emotion; "A certain family should thank the regent, thank you, a certain family can't wait to come here early!"

In the past, he fought with the peasant army again, and fought with the Northern Ming army again, and the blood of the same Ming people was also stained with his hands, and he occasionally had the opportunity to fight with the Qing Tartars, and he still won less and lost more, but now, he killed Hu overseas and expanded the territory for the Ming Empire, which made Huang Degong, who was dedicated to serving the country, seem to have finally felt the meaning of his life overnight.

He said this from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that Yuan Dabao was completely regarded as a sign of loyalty, he laughed and patted Huang Degong on the shoulder, squeezed his eyes and smiled.

"Brother, I understand, rest assured, Lord Huang's merits, the regent will definitely know a lot! Soaring Huang Tengda, even surpassing the power in the Nanming Dynasty is just around the corner, and when the time comes, the brothers will count on Lord Huang to be promoted. ”

Yuan Dabao said something, Huang Degong did not deny it, but smiled and bowed heavily, after all, no one is so selfless, carrying his head to fight for his life, not trying to be rich and noble, it is impossible to leave a name in history, after bowing, the two of them stroked their palms and laughed again, and immediately returned to their battleship, Yuan Dabao waved goodbye.

In addition to leaving three battleships sent by the Ming Royal Navy to guard the entrance to Manila Bay, the mighty Ming fleet was full of spoils and retreated north along the original road, leaving Huang Degong and his Fifth Corps of the Beijing Division.

However, in this city of Manila, only his troops and the thousand Spaniards trapped in St. Philip's castle were left. Another unprecedented opportunity was placed in front of Huang Degong, watching Yuan Dabao's fleet disappear, he suddenly took out the cigar given to him by Mao Jue, relit it, took a heavy breath, and after spitting out a few smoke rings, the former Marquis of Jingnan was suddenly energetic again, and turned around excitedly and shouted.

"Go back to the camp, call all regiments to lead thousands of generals, and go to the Chinese army for a meeting!"

"Mark and obey!"

The soldiers around him also immediately saluted heavily, and immediately retreated, and in less than a few minutes, the well-trained Beiming officers had already penetrated into the Chinese army, surrounding the captured map of Spain, and discussing fiercely with the staff officers.

A corps, like a root, was deeply inserted into this exotic land closest to the Ming Dynasty, and then the long roots and tendrils scattered and flourished!
