Chapter 1040: When I See the Natives, I Get Angry (Three Watches!) )
The Spanish entry into Manila dates back to 1556, that is, in the mid-16th century.
In other words, the Philippine Islands and the South China Sea began at this point in time, which can be regarded as entering a period of colonization by Europeans.
It's just that, in normal history, Europeans even entered Southeast Asia. They also sent troops to conquer Manila and establish towns in Luzon, but their control over this area was still very insufficient.
Because the connection and connection between Nanyang and the Oriental continent is very deep, and there are many Oriental people living here, the Europeans are not very strong here.
At the same time, the unique clan system of the Oriental people also gave Europeans a headache.
For the Yan and Huang people living in Manila and Luzon, clan rules and regulations were much more deterrent than those made by the Spaniards.
Therefore, everyone is afraid of the rules of the clan, but they do not care much about the laws of the Spaniards. Not to mention the respect for these European dicks who have crossed the oceans, there is no respect at all.
This approach of the Yanhuang ethnic group made the Spaniards who controlled Manila and Luzon very unhappy.
But considering that they do not have a numerical advantage here, coupled with the large number of Yanhuang ethnic groups, and the fear of Europeans for the Ming Empire, the Spaniards did not dare to do anything to the Yanhuang ethnic group living in Nanyang.
A situation like this only lasted until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After the collapse of the ancient empire of the Ming Dynasty, the Europeans of Nanyang were not so polite to the Chinese.
The massacres recorded in the history books also began during this period.
The Yan and Huang ethnic groups also began to enter the dark process of Nanyang from this time.
It can be seen how important it is to have a strong motherland as the backing.
Manila and Luzon, as well as the surrounding towns and cities, were not of Chinese descent during this period. But they didn't dare to deal with it yet.
After all, the Yanhuang ethnic group in Nanyang has money and people in their hands.
They are not afraid of Europeans at all.
Even, even if they are really fighting against the Europeans, they will not be afraid.
As the governor of Manila, Vlar was often threatened by some of the major clans of the Yan and Huang ethnic groups.
It is important to know that the Yan and Huang ethnic groups have taken control of Manila's economic power by virtue of their hard work and willingness to do things.
The taxes here in Manila would have collapsed if there were no Chinese.
So. Even if he was unhappy with the Chinese, the Spanish governor Vlaar could only endure the displeasure in his heart and could not show it.
And for this reason, it is also destined to be a massacre against Chinese people in history.
Because Europeans and local natives are not happy with the Chinese, how can there be no accidents in such a situation.
What's more, when the Europeans were engaged in massacres, a huge Ming Empire had collapsed. The wild boar skins, who inherited the mantle of the overworked empire of the East, did not pay attention to such things at all.
So. It gave the Europeans the courage to make one massacre after another.
The Europeans, in particular, were very clever and would unite with the local natives and let the natives contribute to the slaughter.
They make good use of the local natives. did a bloody case.
The hard-working descendants of Yan and Huang, the wealth accumulated by generations of people with hard work and hard work, have always been plundered and looted by Europeans and local natives with such bloody means.
Even in modern times, such things have happened.
I have to say. This is really a painful and sad thing for the Chinese living in Nanyang.
However, because there is a slight deviation in this era. Maybe something like this will never happen again.
Because the Spanish Empire, which was originally a huge empire in history, has now fallen apart, and even the territory has been divided between Portugal and France.
What happened to the motherland, Vlar and the other Spaniards here in Manila, must have gotten the news.
Now they have become people without a motherland.
This is not good news for them.
For this reason, many of them are panicking.
Because of the loss of their homeland, they have even despaired of many things.
The disappearance of Spain poses a most immediate threat to them, and that is that they will no longer be able to receive any further support from their homeland.
Now, if they want to survive here in the East, they have to rely on themselves.
For this reason, the Spaniards living in Southeast Asia united to form a small military group.
There's no way around it, and there's really no way for them to do it.
The Spaniards now control the cities of San Fernando and Olongapo in Manila, as well as Quezon and Luzon, six cities: Dagupan, Vigan, and Laaag.
Because of historical deviations, they have no way to obtain strong military and material support from their homeland, so they are now unable to explore and occupy the southern islands of Southeast Asia.
Moreover, in order to survive here, they have to put their own efforts into it.
Of the six cities, there were only 50,000 or 60,000 Spaniards.
This is simply too little for hundreds of thousands of Yanhuang ethnic groups, as well as millions of indigenous people.
The Spaniards are also aware of this, so they will learn to be patient with many things when facing the Yan and Huang people.
They did not dare to offend the Yanhuang ethnic group, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Their motherland is gone, and they have no confidence in their hearts.
Of course, the Europeans are only polite to the Yan and Huang people, not to the local natives who are lazy and lazy.
These Nanyang monkeys have become the punching bag of the Spaniards, and anyway, when there is nothing to do, the Europeans will torture these natives.
The surprisingly docile Nanyang monkeys are surprisingly docile to these white-skinned gentlemen, which gives the Spaniards great psychological and physical satisfaction.
The fall of Spain, in addition to leaving behind colonies in the South Seas in the East, also left a lot of interests and territory in Africa.
After all, the Spaniards have ruled the sea for more than 100 years since they defeated the Portuguese at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. And this is more than a hundred years. It was the enlightenment and glorious period of the era of sea navigation.
So, the Spaniards laid a large colony.
It's just that now all of this has become a floating cloud.
The colonies in Africa, although still controlled by the Spaniards, have little hope for these people who have lost their homeland.
It is precisely because of this relationship that the Governor of Manila, Vlar, will also show such humility when facing the most powerful pirate king in the East.
Because if you offend Zheng Zhilong. If the Spaniards in the entire South Seas can't do it, they will be wiped out.
He didn't dare bet!
Bet with so many Spanish lives.
So, the best way to do it is to be humble, and you don't anger these people.
Moreover, if you get in touch with Zheng Zhilong, you can also try to see if you can join Zheng Zhilong's team.
If you can become a person in Zheng Zhilong's system, then it will be a good thing for the Spaniards in the whole of Southeast Asia, isn't it?
This was the idea that the Spanish governors of the six cities had agreed upon.
The executor is the Governor of Manila, Vlar.
Zhang Xiu. One of the twelve leaders under Zheng Zhilong.
Compared with Wang Renzeng, Zhang Xiu's status in Zheng Zhilong's heart is much higher.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhang Xiu did not enter the Fujian Navy Division with Zheng Zhilong. Instead, Zheng Zhilong was left at sea and continued his pirate business.
This time he came to Manila, mainly to talk to Vlaar about a business.
Although the Spanish Empire no longer existed, the African colonies and the Spaniards living in Southeast Asia still had to make ends meet.
So. Business is indispensable.
This is already their only source of income, and if they don't, won't everyone starve to death?
Zhang Xiu brought with him a lot of silk and tea, which were the main trade commodities of the Ming Dynasty to the Europeans. Zheng Zhilong's group is no exception, and will definitely do business in this area.
At the same time, because of the control of the sea trade routes, the pirate organization under the command of Zheng Zhilong has greater interests and benefits in this business.
Because he can monopolize it, it's sure to be profitable.
After getting silk and tea from Zheng Zhilong, the Spaniards on the South Seas could form a fleet and go to India and the Arabian Peninsula to do business.
Because Europe and the Mediterranean had already fallen into the hands of Portugal and France, and had also joined the Ottoman Turkish Empire, they certainly did not want to think about returning to Europe.
Even the British touched the ash of their noses, and they could only continue to wander around the North Sea in the gray aftermath. Now there are only a few of them left, and if they want to go back to do business, it is simply looking for death.
Unless the alliance of the vassal states can defeat the Portuguese and French alliances, and then contain the Ottoman Turkish Empire behind it.
If this is not done, then these Spaniards scattered outside will definitely not dare to go back.
After all, with such strength at hand, they would never dare to suffer any losses.
They can't afford to lose.
In addition to the Spaniards, there is also a group of Dutch people in Southeast Asia.
Although the Dutch were not as uncomfortable as the Spaniards, they were not having a good time either.
Because the western side of the Mediterranean Sea and the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean were already under the control of Portugal and France, and the Dutch also joined the side of the Church and turned against Portugal and France.
So, these Dutchmen who came to the East, they can't go back.
Because if they want to return to their homeland, then the sea lanes controlled by Portugal and France are absolutely the only way for them to bypass.
Therefore, it is certain that after a battle with the Portuguese and French navies, he can survive and return to his homeland.
Unfortunately, they did not think that they would survive the attack of the Portuguese and French navies, so the Dutch in the east had no choice but to quench this desire and settle in the Spanish colony.
Whether it is the Dutch or the Spaniards, their life in the East is not so easy now, and it can even be said that they are sad to death.
The taste of this is definitely not something that outsiders can understand and know.
At this time, Zhang Xiu and his guards had already disembarked and stood on the shore of the port in Manila.
Compared with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, Manila is simply a country for Zhang Xiu, and it can't arouse his interest at all.
If it weren't for Boss Zheng who let him go on such a trip and explained some things about traditional Chinese medicine to him, then he Zhang Xiu wouldn't have come to this place where birds don't.
Don't say it's better than Daming, even Taiwan's side can't compare.
I have to say that the Ming pirates of this era all have the mentality of the masters of the Celestial Empire, which is completely different from the mentality of the Chinese descendants in later generations and another time and space.
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Xiu's subordinates kicked away an indigenous girl who wanted to come over, and scolded a few words in his mouth.
For the natives here in Nanyang, the pirates under Zheng Zhilong don't have a good feeling.
Especially for the women here, they are even more disgusted.
One by one, they have thick waists and fat bodies and a mouthful of rotten teeth, and they actually have the face to come out to do the skin and meat business, which is really an intolerable thing.
With such a good look, those crazy Francos will also be on it, which is really contemptible.
The indigenous woman who was kicked away just now is such a thing.
Don't say that Zhang Xiu and his subordinates won't take care of this kind of goods, even the Nanyang Chinese living here won't take care of such indigenous goods.
Now the only people who can patronize these indigenous women are those who have not yet been civilized.
But it was this that made the pirates and all Chinese people criticize.
In their opinion, these ugly Nanyang natives would not be looked at by any normal person. Not to mention...... What's the matter?
However, the animal-like Franji man didn't care about this at all.
It can be seen that this is the case with the uncivilized people.
Therefore, for the natives and the Franco-man, the Ming masters looked down on them very much.
It's still a good girl in the Ming Dynasty, that skin, that look, that figure, tsk, it's much stronger than the natives here in Nanyang.
Even the Goryeo women and widows are better than the indigenous ladies of the South Seas.
The native woman who had been kicked away stepped aside, and the man not far away looked up after a glance.
Here, there are many natives who let their wives come out to do things and take money to go to the chic natives, so there is nothing out of the ordinary.
"Every time I come here, I don't feel very comfortable, and my mother gets angry when she sees these natives." , Zhang Xiu, surrounded by the guards, stood on the shore and looked around, and then after spitting a bubble of thick phlegm on the ground, he scolded and said. (To be continued......)
