Chapter 233: Great Changes in the South Seas

The source of information of the Francois is extremely scarce.

Not every country is as paranoid as our neighbor Little Japan, and only when it has thoroughly explored the intelligence of the enemy country does it dare to send troops.

The Governor of Luzon was still immersed in the dream of the Great Ming Sailors starting from my two boats. Zheng Zhilong's warships on the island of Taiwan were all bound for Phi Dao, which he knew.

What he didn't know was that with the help of the two shipwrights in the south and north, plus the help of the Dutch, the shipbuilding technology in the port of Fujian had reached an astonishing speed.

The Qin soldiers arrived in Jinling from the Central Plains, and Zhu Yousong led hundreds of officials to the south without stopping.

"Your Majesty, is war declaring?"

"Xuan! I am so dignified, how can I be punished without teaching. Send the order down, draft an edict in my name, and five days later, a decisive battle in the South China Sea! ”

Baiguan nodded, panicking about a big country, there should be the atmosphere of a big country.

Zhu Yousong continued: "Then secretly ordered more than 100 military generals of each navy division to attack Luzon in the middle of the night three days later. ”

...

...

Only the generals of the Qin soldiers who followed Zhang Hao had the same face as usual, and this kind of routine was too much to see in their governor Zhang Hao. Even more shameless scheming to force the Mongols to surrender is commonplace.

Coquela held a war book made of precious silk in her hand, and her hands trembled slightly. Such tension and excitement were rarely seen in this conqueror, who was a well-deserved emperor of the soil in Luzon, and the power of life and death was in his hands. At the beginning, he slaughtered more than 100,000 Han people in Luzon, and the Ming Dynasty only condemned a few words. It made him uneasy, but the courtiers at the beginning thought that those people were no longer the people of the Ming Dynasty and were unwilling to fight for this.

Now, he's going to fight a naval battle with this vast empire, as long as he wins... There is no need to enter the land, and there will be endless wealth at sea, not inferior to the American continent. This sea area is the most profitable sea in the world today, and silk and porcelain represent endless wealth in the West.

"The sailors of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been fully formed, and their emperor is in a hurry to show his fists, and this time I will let him know why our fleet is called the Invincible Armada."

"If the Governor had done this great thing, our Emperor would definitely have made you a duke."

The praise that rang out from all sides made Coqueira immersed in the illusion of victory, and he didn't want to wake up at all, at this time his opponent was already doing pre-war mobilization.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when you kill people and set fires!" Zhu Yousong rubbed the smooth thighs in his hands and said leisurely, Xiaolian sat in his arms, disheveled.

His state of mind was rare and calm, although it was a vicious battle, but as the emperor, he couldn't get nervous.

"Am I old, why don't I have any emotions that a young person should have?"

"Don't be kidding." Xiaolian covered her mouth and snickered, this person is obviously a teenager, and he is old-fashioned when he speaks.

"My lord is young and strong, and the crying father who rectified my sister called my mother, I don't know how mighty it is." Xiaohe was behind him, making a rare joke. She has a cute temperament, and she has been with Zhu Yousong and Xiaolian, the old drivers, for a long time, and she is also fierce when she talks.

Zhu Yousong smiled faintly, there was really no passion. A great battle ensued, and in the midst of the insults and wails of the Franco-Mechanics, Luzon burst into flames.

The sound of artillery drowned the governor's palace in a sea of fire, and no one survived, and no one needed to survive.

In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, led a huge fleet to Luzon, that is, he appointed Xu Chailao, the leader of overseas Chinese in Jinjiang, as the governor of Luzon by the edict of Emperor Yongle, and took charge of the country's political, economic, military, and cultural powers, and served for 20 years. During this period, Xu Chai Lao spared no effort to carry forward the culture of the Chinese nation, implemented the rule of Confucian etiquette, disseminated the advanced technology of agriculture, fishery and industry in southern Fujian, and greatly developed shipbuilding, textile, pottery, and tea planting.

In the fifth year of Longqing, King Suleiman of Raja was killed in a naval battle, and Luzon was gradually conquered by Spain. Spain established colonial rule in Manila.

In the beginning, the Spaniards and the overseas Chinese were at peace and friendly. But with the arrival of the sea thief Lin Feng, everything was reversed. Originally, Lin Feng was a pirate entrenched in the coast of China, and he had been in trouble for a long time. Subsequently, Lin Feng was violently attacked by the Ming Dynasty sailors and was forced to leave his lair in Taiwan and flee to the Philippines. At that time, Lin Feng had tens of thousands of pirates under him, so he coveted the Philippines in Spain. After that, Lin Feng sent troops to attack Manila, but because the Spaniards were already on guard, they were unsuccessful.

Soon after Lin Feng attacked Manila, the Spaniards welcomed another Chinese fleet, but this time it was the Ming sailors. It turned out that these Ming troops were following Lin Feng and did not want to attack Spain, which also made the tired Spaniards breathe a good sigh of relief.

After talking, the Ming Dynasty and Spain discovered that they had a common enemy, so the two countries initially established a cooperative relationship, and the Ming Dynasty hired Spaniards to attack Lin Feng. Of course, the Ming Dynasty themselves were not idle, they took the seal of the Wanli Emperor to recruit troops on the spot on Luzon. The Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire, and although Luzon has been occupied by the Spaniards for a long time, the seal letter of the Ming Emperor still has great power, and in a short time 5,000 soldiers and horses were collected from the Luzon.

The Ming Dynasty's dominance on Luzon soon aroused the suspicion of the Spaniards. Locally, there are only 1,200 people in Spain, and there are tens of thousands of overseas Chinese. So, the Spaniards sharpened their knives and prepared to make a move against the overseas Chinese.

Under the double stimulation of the Ming government and the pirate Lin Feng, the Spanish bandits who killed all over Europe, Asia and Africa finally took action against overseas Chinese. They spread rumors that the overseas Chinese had colluded with the Ming government to attack Luzon, so they set up cannons on the overseas Chinese's residences and bombarded the market where the Chinese were doing business into nothing. Under the oppression of the Spaniards, the Chinese revolted angrily and gathered tens of thousands of people to fight against the Spaniards. However, the Spaniards had already prepared, and they united with the local Bangya and 800 Japanese to besiege the rebellious Chinese, and killed the local Chinese with artillery, guns, and swords, killing the local Chinese with a river of blood. According to historical records, 25,000 local overseas Chinese were killed, leaving only 300 people.

It should be noted that in terms of killing Chinese, the Japanese and Filipinos killed the most vigorously, and even the Spaniards were afraid of their cruelty.

After such a horrific incident, the Spaniards were like frightened birds. If they slaughtered the Chinese like this, would the Ming Dynasty send troops to retaliate? If the citizens of the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries were killed in this way, they would definitely retaliate, and the Spaniards thought that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to seek justice for the overseas Chinese. As a result, many wealthy Spaniards fled the Philippines by boat and settled in Mexico.

However, to the surprise of the Spaniards, the Wanli Emperor at that time did not care about the death of overseas Chinese. It turned out that for the imperial court, only those who stayed in the country were called compatriots, and when they went abroad, they became chaotic people. No matter what kind of bullying they receive, it is none of the affairs of the court.

He drafted an edict "Edict to Luzon", which "reprimanded" the Spaniards who massacred overseas Chinese and asked them not to do such inhumane things again. For their massacre, the Wanli Emperor, who was so gracious, could not bear to punish them, "his overseas slaughter is not exhaustive", and demanded that the Spanish side "think about the emperor's great grace and the great benevolence and righteousness of China".

But now, this matter has been brought up again, and Zhu Yousong has told the world and the countries of Nanyang that the Ming Dynasty has not forgotten the hatred.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is an excuse, but the Spaniards have fallen, and no one will question the words of the victors.

The countries of the South Seas have come to the table one after another, asking for the protection of the Ming Dynasty.
