117 Tearing up the agreement
Li Tianyang, who took the initiative to retreat, did not delay on the sea, and traveled day and night for two days and two nights before staying on an uninhabited desert island.
The Shark Gang, including Gan Xingzhi, was dejected, lifeless like a lost dog, and their morale was low.
Maybe some people at the bottom will wonder why they have been holding their troops when they have the advantage, even if they suddenly kill a Spanish Yangyi and fight on land, they may not really lose to each other.
There was no way, Li Tianyang at that time was actually a little forward-looking, not only thinking about leaving a second point of affection for his hostile brother's subordinates, but also thinking about preserving the strength of the Shark Gang, so that he could achieve his goal in the future.
However, Li Tiansheng was much more resolute than Li Tianyang, but he was ruthless to his brother, and even colluded with the Spaniards to attack him, which Li Tianyang did not expect.
After being stationed on the island for two or three days, Gan Xingzhi and his family did not plan to follow Li Tianyang back to Dayuan Island, but wanted to stay in the Luzon Islands and wait for the arrival of the reinforcements that Li Tianyang said.
In fact, Li Tianyang knew in his heart that even if their Hongmen's backup fleet arrived, they might not really make an actual attack on Li Tiansheng.
Most of the Crazy Shark Gang was already doomed to Li Tianyang's wishful thinking when Li Tianyang and them retreated, and without the Crazy Shark Gang's armed chess piece, even the worst Li Tiansheng, the younger brother, seemed to have colluded with the Spaniards, which had a great impact on Li Tianyang's future plan.
The members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce were encouraged by Li Tianyang to invest in Luzon on a large scale, which made Li Tianyang have an extra responsibility, that is, to ensure that everyone's investment in Luzon is not affected and threatened by various external factors.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity for Li Tianyang to control and influence the Luzon Islands, otherwise he would not have focused on the development of Dayuan Island at the important juncture of Hongmen's gravity, and suddenly intervened in the affairs of the Luzon Islands, which is really a waste of resources.
However, although Li Tianyang didn't want to completely tear his face with the Spaniards, the Spaniards didn't want to let Li Tianyang go.
With the help of Li Tiansheng to seize the dominance of the Shark Gang, the Spaniards have completely torn their faces with Hongmen and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
Li Tianyang still thought that he could maintain the current situation, even if the Spaniards attacked his fleet first, Li Tianyang did not think of fighting back, but the Spaniards did not stop doing anything, and after the fleet returned to Manila Castle, they carried out a frantic sweep of the farms and shops of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce on Luzon.
At the same time, the Spaniards once again used their dirty methods behind their backs to stir up the contradictions between the local natives and the people who settled here in the Ming Dynasty, and led to the expansion of this conflict, which eventually developed into a violent conflict.
The tragedy that happened to the overseas Chinese in the Luzon Islands in the 30th year of Wanli happened to the overseas Chinese in the Luzon Islands again, this time under the influence of Li Tianyang, a butterfly that crossed over, the Ming people who settled and lived in the Luzon Islands were far more than in the original history, so the Spaniards underestimated the courage and determination of the Ming people in the desperate situation.
The first wave of clashes took place in the shops of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce near Manila, and without warning, the Spaniards appeared in full arms in the trading area outside the Manila Castle and killed and destroyed the strongholds and shops established by the Ming Dynasty merchants in the trading area outside the Manila Castle.
Countless unarmed men and shopkeepers were driven out of their estates and then brutally slaughtered by the Spaniards in a place of execution.
Without any interrogation or interrogation, the Spaniards carried out a bloody massacre of Ming merchants who conducted legitimate economic trade in their castles.
Immediately, the natives of Luzon, who were deceived by the Spaniards with interests and various fallacies, took advantage of the panic of the Ming people to wreak havoc on their settlements, burning, killing, looting and other means to the extreme, which had a great destructive power and harm to the overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty at the beginning.
However, the Spaniards obviously underestimated the number of the Ming people, and after a brief period of panic and confusion at first, the Ming overseas Chinese, who were strongly safeguarded by their lives and property, began to fiercely resist the natives and Spaniards under the leadership of a few business owners and prestigious gentry who had survived the few merchants.
In the thirtieth year of Wanli, more than 25,000 overseas Chinese in Luzon were unfortunately killed in the conflict between the Spaniards and the overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, which made the Spaniards have a little contempt for the overseas Chinese of the Ming Dynasty who settled in the Luzon Islands.
However, this time the Ming overseas Chinese brought a great surprise to the Spaniards!
Hongmen's action to clean up pirates in the South China Sea made the maritime trade activities of the Ming Dynasty gradually flourish, which made the Ming Dynasty go south to Luzon to pan for gold a lot more.
With the large-scale establishment of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the Luzon Islands, farms and workshops have blossomed all over the island, bringing a large number of Ming people.
As a result, there were originally many overseas Chinese who settled in the Luzon Islands, but now there are 50,000 or 60,000 overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty who have settled in the Luzon Islands and are running various businesses.
This is also an important reason why the Spaniards have always been both happy and cautious about the Ming people.
In addition to being caught off guard by surprise at the beginning and suffering heavy losses, the Ming people naturally like the habit of reporting to the group, and when they were fighting and were strongly threatened by their lives, they involuntarily gathered together to resist the attack of the local rabbit spirits and heavily armed Spaniards.
Although the leaders of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce were also wiped out by the Spaniards at the first time, there were still many lucky ones who escaped the killing.
You must know that the biggest thing that Li Tianyang can absorb into the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is that they all have a pivotal position in the Nanyang trade, either a big party or a person with strong strength and prestige.
Although I don't know why the Spaniards rebelled and tore up the land contract signed between them, they also have deep confidence in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce behind them.
The people of the Ming Dynasty, when no one came to lead them, they were a group of lambs who were slaughtered by others, but when they had a leader, they would become a different look, for the safety of themselves and their relatives, they dared to fight for a future!
