Mindanao, Zamboanga. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city was the only place on the island that did not belong to the Tang Republic, and the Spanish occupied it early on but were unable to expel the local sultanate, so it remained that way. As a result, who knew that the Tang people suddenly crossed the sea from Borneo and carried out a merciless attack on the local green religion forces, and finally eliminated the green religion countries including the Sulu Sultanate and the Maguindanao Sultanate, and even ruthlessly hunted down the local stubborn green religion elements.

Although the Spaniards do not like the Green Religion and promote Catholicism in the Philippines, Zamboanga is a little weaker than in Zamboanga. It can be said that the local natives who are still on Mindanao are basically afraid of being killed, and they are honestly obedient to the people, and they dare not spread their hands and worship without having anything to do, nor dare they wear headscarves on women.

In Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, those who did not want to change their faith in Medan eventually had to leave their original hometowns, and many of them came to Zamboanga, which was relatively safer, which made Zamboanga's development rate relatively faster. However, due to the increase in population, and the speed of urban construction and economic development have not kept up, Zamboanga has also become a city full of contradictions and violence.

Outside Zamboanga City, an army with the banner of the Tang Tenglong was waiting for it, and the Spanish colonists in Zamboanga City were on pins and needles. Not long ago, they had learned that the Kingdom of Spain had officially started a war with the Tang Republic, one of the world's great powers. You must know that the border with the Tang Republic is not only Mexico, but also Spain's most important colony in Asia. The Philippines is also in the hands of the Tang people. Zamboanga, on the other hand, is directly bordered by the Tang-controlled province of Mindanao, a Sunda overseas territory.

Datang's overseas consulates are already quasi-national in terms of political status. The administrative level is higher than that of the local state of Datang, and if the area of the overseas territory is relatively large, it will set up a province within itself. For example, as a large overseas territory of more than one million square kilometers, Sunda Overseas Territory has set up Borneo Province, Sulawesi Province, Sumatra Province, Java Province, Mindanao Province and so on. Mindanao is one of the less developed areas of the Sundanese Territory, with relatively little immigration, and the capital Cotabato has only some trade and commerce, and its industrialization is far less than that of Borneo and Java.

However, Datang still stationed a 1,500-strong Yamato corps in Mindanao. It's like the other side, after the British colonized India. The turban-clad Indians (Sikhs) became pawns in the rest of the British colony, and even fought for their overlords in the Middle East with 250,000 British and Indian troops in World War II. In this plane, the Tang Dynasty made little effort, using similar cultural inspiration, plus relatively generous treatment, and the remnants of bushido among the Japanese themselves, to successfully use the Yamato Corps as a pawn for their own colonization of other regions.

With a population of just over 2 million in the Okuyu area, the Tang Dynasty has armed nearly 50,000 Japanese soldiers to participate in the Yamato Corps and fight overseas, although there are some ronins and paups who come to Okuyu to earn a living without food in Japan. But the proportion is not small.

The Yamato Corps, which had good discipline and strong obedience, had become an important force of the Tang Army stationed abroad. Although in terms of the size of the total force. The regular army of the Tang Army is still the largest (plus the reserve Tang Army has a total of 19 brigades and a strength of 100,000 troops), followed by the Wuwei Army and the Wuyi Army (60,000 people), and the Yamato Corps can only rank third. However, in terms of the number and frequency of battles, the Yamato Corps is undoubtedly the unit that has been deployed the most times and has fought the most in recent years.

Just as the regular army of the Tang Army took the regiment as the main unit of the campaign and gave the regiment a banner, the Yamato Corps also followed this tradition of the Tang Army, and the Japanese regiment stationed in Mindanao was called "Array", and the Japanese soldiers called themselves "Regiments of Array".

The regiment has been stationed in Mindanao for more than four years, and the original design of the Datang Ministry of Defense was to rotate the soldiers stationed in Mindanao on a regular basis, but later it was found that even without considering the cost of rotation, the soldiers of many units even started a family in the local area, which made it a lot of trouble to transfer them to other places to station, so in fact, it was difficult to implement the rotation of garrisons.

In the past few years, they have destroyed some local tribes almost every month, killing dozens or hundreds of disobedient local natives, and those indigenous women were captured by them, although the army itself has a certain degree of supervision and does not allow them to be too rampant, but the Japanese soldiers can use legal methods to turn these women into their own wives and concubines or maids, and what will happen after the specific relationship is not officially controlled. In this way, at least these poor indigenous women will not face abandonment.

In this way, the original social structure of Mindanao was completely cleansed, and the Tang people established a new economic and social system with colonial cities as the core. Although the process was very bloody and brutal, the Tang people got what they wanted, and the blood was all stained by the Japanese.

After Mexico City was captured by the Tang Army, the General Staff Headquarters of the Tang Ministry of Defense made a decision to further expand the scale of the war and fight against Spanish colonial rule on a global scale. The Far Eastern Theater, which had just finished the Gurkha War, was once again engaged in the war against the Philippines. Speaking of which, the Tang people occupied almost all the islands in Southeast Asia except for the Philippine Islands and East Timor, and the Philippines was in the hands of the Spaniards.

On Zamboanga's side, the Spanish defenders were few in number, numbering only a few hundred, while the regiment assembled had thousands of troops, and was well armed and had a strong morale. The commander of the regiment in command did not even bother to persuade the Spaniards to surrender, and immediately organized his army and prepared for an attack on Zamboanga.

The Spanish defenders panicked, and temporarily organized a group of local natives with cold weapons to prepare to resist the Japanese Tang Army who were besieging the city, although more than 2,000 people were temporarily organized, but no one understood that this was a group of rabble, and there was no way to compare it with the formation regiment that directly took killing people as their business and was good at killing people and fighting.
