Spain, as the world's first "empire on which the sun never sets", has weakened, but there are still many colonies around the world, and the Philippines is one of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Located in the western Pacific Ocean, the Philippines is mainly composed of three major island groups, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, with more than 7,000 large and small islands, a total area of 300,000 square kilometers, and a population of 25 million.

The Philippines is very close to the Chinese Empire, less than 200 kilometers in a straight line.

In the past hundred years, Spain has been in decline, because of the weakening of Spain, the Spanish colonies have been in turmoil, and the oppressed people by Spanish rule have rebelled many times to get rid of Spanish colonial rule.

In the end, the Spanish colonies continued to decrease, leaving only a few colonies dominated by Cuba and the Philippines, and even the remaining colonies were full of various revolts, especially in the Philippines.

Although Spain has an army of 42,000 people in the Philippines, military discipline is lax, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and less than one-tenth of the people who can fight.

As a result, Spain had a serious lack of control over its nominal colonies, and could only hang half-dead in the Philippines.

However, the uprising of the indigenous Filipinos against the Spanish colonizers affected a special group, that is, the Filipino Chinese.

The Chinese are also a cosmopolitan nation, and there are Chinese people all over the world, and there are tens of millions of Chinese in Southeast Asia alone.

In the past 1,000 years, every change of regime in the land of China would cause a large number of Chinese to leave the mainland and flee to Southeast Asia, and when the Manchu Dynasty was defeated by the British for the first time, the Manchu Dynasty's self-isolation of the country was broken, and a large number of Chinese went out of the country to Southeast Asia to seek a living.

The Chinese are a hard-working group, they use their hands to create wealth for themselves, and the Chinese who go abroad have settled down in Southeast Asian countries, work hard every day, and finally have a lot of net worth.

Southeast Asia is not small, with an area of 4.5 million square kilometers, but there is no one in Southeast Asia. All the countries that were established became colonies of the Western powers.

In Southeast Asia, the Western colonizers Caucasian were the superior people, the Chinese who were good at wealth creation were the middle people, and the natives with low levels of education were the inferior people.

Western colonizers have a similar view of the Chinese and the natives, both of them are oppressed, but the Chinese can create wealth, and the colonizers do not squeeze the Chinese too hard.

Although the status of the Chinese is higher than that of the natives, the Chinese are not industrious and humble, and they do not have any intention of looking down on the natives.

However, in the uprising of the indigenous Filipinos, the indigenous uprising should have rebelled against the Spanish colonizers, but they did not expect that some indigenous Filipinos actually targeted the Chinese community living in the Philippines, and the indigenous people robbed the wealth of the Chinese and even killed the Chinese.

The Chinese hurried to the Spanish colonists for help, but the Spanish colonists were afraid of violence. The chaotic natives cowered in the city and did not dare to go out at all, causing the Chinese to drift in the wave of the indigenous uprising.

However, the Chinese did not give up saving themselves, they thought of their motherland, which is a powerful country that can defeat Britain and France, and if they ask for help from the motherland, the motherland will definitely save them.

A petition from the Filipino Chinese appeared, with the names of tens of thousands of Chinese written in their own blood, asking the motherland to help their people who are suffering in the Philippines.

The petition was soon sent to Taiwan, and everyone who saw it was furious, and wanted to send troops to the Philippines and kill all the damned natives, but only the emperor had the power to mobilize troops in the Chinese Empire.

The petition of the people had not yet been sent to Yan Xueyi, and Yan Xueyi, who got the news, immediately ordered Yan Xuecai to summon the Spanish ambassador to discuss the matter.

Yan Xuecai asked the Spanish ambassador to immediately contact the Spanish army in the Philippines and send troops to quell the rebellion and protect the Chinese.

Seeing Yan Xuecai's serious expression, the Spanish ambassador knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately communicated with the Philippine side and the country, Spain has declined, and the Chinese Empire is a powerful country, and there is no comparison between the two.

In fact, the top leaders of the Chinese Empire did not pay attention to the Chinese in Southeast Asia at all, although these Chinese came from the Chinese Empire, but many of them have forgotten their hometowns, forgotten their ancestors, and even gave up using the Chinese language in favor of the colonial language, and even lost their surnames and gave a foreign name, such people can no longer be called Chinese.

Now that they are in trouble, they only think that they are Chinese, and there is a powerful country behind them, what have they done before, if they have the heart, they should ask the Chinese Empire for help as soon as there is a problem, instead of expecting the Spanish colonists to send troops, when have they waited, the Spanish colonists did not send troops, they only thought of asking the Chinese Empire for help under the guidance of the Ministry of Intelligence, and it is really disgusting to abandon their ancestors and forget their ancestors.

Moreover, among the Chinese in Southeast Asia, many of them were die-hard Manchu loyalists, and many of the businessmen who had given a lot of money to help the Manchus went to Southeast Asia, and some of them were assassinated by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence, but there were also many people who took out money to get the protection of foreigners and survived.

However, this matter, including the petition of the Chinese people in the Philippines, was originally planned by the Ministry of Intelligence, which was originally an excuse made up by the Chinese Empire in order to intervene in the Philippines.

In mid-May, the China Daily published information about the persecution of the Filipino Chinese by the indigenous Filipinos, and the newspaper also listed the latest developments in the incident, and the Chinese Empire had seriously asked the Spanish side to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

After seeing the news on the "China Daily", the people were also very angry, even overseas, the Chinese cannot suffer such treatment, we have to return blood for a tooth, the Filipino aborigines killed me, we must let the Filipino aborigines repay ten times and a hundred times, our Chinese empire is supreme, how can I Chinese be oppressed by such a despicable nation as the Filipino aborigines.

This is the heart of the country and the heart of the nation, when it is cohesive, the hearts of the people have a common will, no matter what difficulties we face, we can work together to tide over the difficulties.
