490 [Blood for Blood]

Pablo is 45 years old and belongs to the second generation of immigrants.

His father was a Spanish vagabond, who was recruited to open up in South America, and after killing people and setting fires, he came to the Philippines. Gradually, the oppressive natives reclaimed plantations and planted sugarcane on hundreds of acres of nearby land.

Pablo's mother was the daughter of an indigenous chieftain (similar to a village chief).

The chief's entire family was killed, leaving only his mother, who was forced to marry his father. As for the tribal civilians, those who survived by luck all became plantation serfs.

Despite the slaughter of his grandfather's family and the torture of his mother, Pablo was proud of his Spanish roots. He did not admit that he was of indigenous blood, so after inheriting the family business, he forbade his mother to go out and lived in a small house all year round.

In order to purify his bloodline, Pablo sought out European women to wife.

It's a pity that there are very few European women in the Philippines, and even if there are singles, they will not marry him, a mixed-race plantation owner. In desperation, he also married a half-breed, who at least looked whiter than the indigenous woman.

Now, he is worried about the marriage of his eldest son.

The plantation is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is getting bigger and bigger, and the daughter-in-law must be a purebred white man!

"Father, this woman can be my wife!" The eldest son, Juan, said excitedly.

Pablo shook his head: "No, this is a Chinese woman, and your wife must be European." ”

Juan sighed, "But I'm 22 years old, and I can't wait any longer." ”

Pablo said: "If you want a woman, you can make her your slave girl, and you must not really marry her." ”

A few days ago, Pablo went to Manila and experienced the massacre of China.

He immediately rode back to the plantation, took his three sons, and dozens of serfs with him, and slaughtered the Han market town in the northwest. But he moved too slowly, and the Han market town had been looted, and there were Han corpses everywhere.

Just when they returned in frustration, they found a large family of Han people.

So, the father and son took the serfs and killed all the fleeing Han people and robbed them of their goods. There was only one girl left, who was brought back by her eldest son, Juan, because she was born beautifully.

"Kill!"

Pablo was alarmed by the shouts of murder in the sugar cane plantation, hurried back to the house to pick up the arquebus, and then summoned the serfs to check on the situation.

At this moment, several serfs escaped from the sugar cane fields, pushed open the gate of the wall and rushed in: "Han people...... The Han people are coming! ”

Pablo immediately shouted: "Defend the courtyard wall!" ”

The father and son had arquebuses, and nearly a hundred serfs, armed with cane knives, all stood behind the wall.

Wan Zhaoan rushed to the front, shouting all the way: "Kill, kill the red-haired ghost to grab food!" Eat, eat! ”

"Eat, eat!"

The refugees, who were so hungry and weak, took a few bites of sugar cane and cheered up. Because if they break through the manor, they will have something to eat, and if they don't eat, they will all starve to death.

Even, during the charge, more than a dozen fainted.

There is no order at all, just rushing forward indiscriminately, with a green light in a pair of hungry eyes.

"Bang bang bang!"

The father and son fired shots one after another, but due to the distance, only one Han man fell, and the rest continued to charge desperately.

"Bang bang bang!"

Another burst of gunfire, this time rushing closer, killing three people by arquebuses.

Pablo panicked and reloaded, trying to fire a third shot. But in a panic, the projectile could not be stuffed until the Han rushed out of the wall, and he reluctantly loaded the arquebus.

"Bang!"

Another Han man fell.

The wall is very high, and it is usually used to protect against the natives.

More than 30 Han Chinese slammed their bodies against the gate of the wall. The remaining Han Chinese, in the posture of stacking arhats, frantically climbed the wall.

The wall had many shooting holes, through which the indigenous serfs used cleavers to stab the Han people outside.

Before the Han people could climb the wall, the gate of the courtyard wall was knocked down.

Seeing this, the rest of the Han people immediately swarmed in.

Xiucai Lei Lisheng's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Kill the light, kill the light!" ”

Except for a few Han Chinese, who had weapons, most of them were armed with sticks and stones. There were even some who threw away their sticks and rushed in with sugarcane sticks.

The indigenous serfs fled in an instant, and were chased by the Han people in a state of madness, and they pointed at their heads with stones and sticks to greet them.

Don't look at the miserable life of these serfs, when they slaughtered the Han Chinese, they were even more vicious than the Spanish colonists.

Pablo was about to call his three sons to flee for their lives, when he saw his youngest son killed. The second son was also knocked down by several Han people, and he was hit twice on the head, and he saw that he was going to be unable to live.

Pablo drew his knife and slashed a Han man, and then hit him with two sticks in the arm.

After slashing two serfs, Wan Zhaoan rushed to Pablo and stabbed him in the throat.

Pablo clutched his neck and fell to the ground, and in his last consciousness, he saw that his eldest son was also knocked down, and five or six Han Chinese surrounded him and beat him.

Wan Zhaoan completely lost control of the army, and more than 2,000 Han people roamed around and rushed to kill. Whether it is a Spanish or an native, they must kill a living person to vent their anger and fear.

While they kill people, they also look everywhere for food.

He found a horse in the yard and smashed it with a stone and stick, trying to kill the horse and drink blood and eat meat. Under the pain of the war horse, he kicked the Han people behind him, and then ran wildly and fled.

Pablo's wife and daughter, who were hiding in a cupboard, were also found and beaten to death on the spot.

And Pablo's mother, an indigenous woman whose entire family was killed and her son placed under house arrest, could not escape being beaten to death.

All went crazy, and all that was left in their minds was eating and killing.

"Help, help, I'm Han!" Fang Huizhong shouted loudly, she was tied up in the room and couldn't move.

The confusion continued into the evening, exhausted, and finally stopped.

The corpses all over the ground made people want to vomit, but the stomach was empty, and all that came out was sour water.

Wan Zhaoan organized male soldiers to find food, and asked female soldiers to cook on fires, and then sent some people to collect useful supplies.

Lei Lisheng brought the girl back: "Dashuai, I found a girl from the Han family who was tied up in the house by the Red Fan Ghost. ”

Wan Zhaoan asked, "What's your name?" ”

Fang Huizhong ...... Woooooooooooooooo The girl wailed.

After crying for a long time, his mood calmed down a little, and finally told what happened to him.

She belongs to the second generation of immigrants, and her father came over in the last years of Wanli. At first, he worked in Manila, but was later organized to reclaim land further north, where a Han Chinese village gradually formed.

Just a few days ago, the Spaniards, the Japanese, and the Bangbangya rushed in without warning, killing the Han people when they saw them, and robbing them when they saw them.

Fang Huizhong's family finally escaped the catastrophe, and on the way to escape, they met this plantation owner again, and now she is the only one left.

Wan Zhaoan said: "Fill your stomach first, and rest tonight." ”

The next morning, Wan Zhaoan convened everyone, and he wanted to hold a grievance meeting.

first let Fang Huizhong tell the story, which aroused everyone's indignation, and then let other Han people tell it.

After only two or three people were spoken, there was a cry at the scene, because they all had relatives who died tragically.

In the end, Wan Zhaoan roared angrily: "Brothers and sisters, the red ghosts of Luzon, and these barbarians, want to kill all our Han people. If we want to survive, we can only go to the mountains to the north. When we get to the mountains, let's train and farm, and then let's survive first. His Majesty the Emperor of Datong will definitely send troops to save us! ”

"How could the emperor come to our rescue? Decades ago, the Chinese in Luzon were killed, and I didn't see Wanli Ye send half a soldier! A Han man said indignantly.

Wan Zhaoan immediately said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Datong, it is different from other emperors!" I heard that the Han people in Dongfan (Taiwan) were bullied, so His Majesty the Emperor Datong sent troops and sent a large army to kill the red-haired ghosts. But it will take time for the emperor to send troops, and we have to survive ourselves. After entering the mountain, both men and women must practice killing the enemy! ”

Believe it or not, they have to believe that this is the only hope to live.

After staying at the sugarcane plantation for two days to fill his stomach and regain his strength, Wan Zhaoan ordered to take supplies to the mountains in the north.

Before departure, the number of people was counted, and only 2,548 people were left at this time due to illness and death.

A few days later, on their way into the mountains, they captured a banana plantation. This time the fight was a little more methodical, although it was still a rabble, but at least it barely obeyed the military order.

Weapons were also more advanced, with nine arquebuses snatched up in front and behind, and many soldiers were armed with knives – mostly knives for chopping sugar cane and bananas.

However, during the attack on the banana plantation, eleven people were killed and wounded, four of whom were killed on the spot.

The Spanish governor received the news and sent 100 Spanish arquebusiers, 200 Japanese mercenaries, and 2,000 Bangbang soldiers to chase after him. None of the hairs were caught, Wan Zhaoan had already led people into the mountains, and their real enemies were the climate, diseases, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains.

It's a rainforest!

Zhao Han received news from Tu Hua, a little later than the governor of Batavia.

The Spanish not only slaughtered China, but also detained Chinese merchant ships near the port and slaughtered the Han Chinese on the merchant ships. However, some merchant ships still fled back to Fujian and went to the Fujian political secretary to cry, and the political envoy immediately sent people to Nanjing to report.

Zhao Han's face was gloomy, and he was already extremely angry.

Tian Younian said: "Your Majesty, the killing of overseas people is certainly worthy of mercy, but there is no need to send troops on a large scale. An order could be issued to ban the trade of Spanish merchant ships and to call on ships from all countries to attack Spanish merchant ships together. ”

Li Banghua also said: "Your Majesty, although there have been bumper harvests in several provinces this year, it has cost too much money and grain to emigrate to Shandong and Henan. The surplus grain will have to be saved for next year's war. Liaodong, on the other hand, was also at war with the Manchus, and military rations needed to be transported every month. At this critical time, we must not start the war again, and everything must be prioritized. ”

Pang Chunlai said: "Back then, the Tartars ravaged Liaodong, and the ministers were like abandoning the people outside the pass, looking forward to the imperial army all the time. Comparing hearts to hearts, if there are still Han people in Luzon, they must dream of His Majesty sending troops. Of course, when and how to fight a war must be thoroughly understood. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China were blind to Luzon, and they really couldn't come up with any regulations. You can summon the generals of the Han army, and it is best to summon Zheng Zhilong to interrogate. ”

After some discussion, Zhao Han ordered: "Summons Zheng Zhilong!" ”
