A few days later, a propaganda pamphlet began to circulate throughout Eastern Qin, with three articles on it, titled "Ten Diaries of Luzon", "Three Massacres of Jawwa", and "Thirteen Hairpins of Nanyang".

These three long articles explain in detail the hardships of our Chinese ancestors who went to Nanyang to settle down since the Song Dynasty.

They have brought advanced farming and production techniques with them, and have made great contributions to local development, but they have been oppressed.

He also said that in the early Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the West and prospered the trade in various parts of the South Seas, but found that the local Han people were abused.

The eunuchs of the Three Treasures were willing to change, so after showing their force, they forced the local lord to change his unreasonable policy towards the Han people.

But the corrupt and incompetent Ming court canceled the Western Ocean, and the Han people who lost their shelter became fish and meat again. was ruthlessly slaughtered, and there were the Ten Days of Luzon, the Three Massacres of Jawa and the Thirteen Hairpins of Nanyang.

These pamphlets not only denounced the atrocities, but also repeatedly emphasized that most of these Nanyang Han people, whose ancestral homes are from Fujian and Guangdong, are all Chinese people, and they are all flesh and blood compatriots of the Chinese people.

When these pamphlets were distributed on a large scale, the Chinese people were extremely indignant at the tragic events that had taken place one after another.

is really too miserable, and Yan Zheng is an extremely sensational, exaggerating the atrocities and magnifying the innocence of the victims, which makes it very conflicting.

In particular, the diary of Luzon Ten wrote about the powerlessness and struggle of ordinary people in the face of the barbarian army, and wrote about the massacre as if it were Ling Chi.

There are also all kinds of "trivial things" of rape and plunder, and finally there are all kinds of eye-catching figures, such as the burning of corpses for more than 20 days and the smoke column can be seen ten miles away.

In addition to being thrilling to read, it is also a deep empathy.

The people who were killed were their own fellow countrymen and compatriots, who were also ordinary people like themselves, powerless in the face of atrocities, and had to struggle to survive.

These words are like a heavy punch, and the person who hit him is dizzy and his blood is surging.

Even if you are not your own compatriots, when you hear such atrocities, you will inevitably feel that this is the behavior of beasts, not what people should do!

In the barracks, each squad was also assigned a copy, which was organized by the squad leader to watch.

In this booklet, it is stated that the relevant records are from the oral accounts of the survivors, and it is also said that hundreds of merchants in the Ming Dynasty have seen it with their own eyes.

Therefore, many simple soldiers were immediately made angry by all this.

Anyone with the slightest sense of justice will be outraged by such an act, because no beast can do such a thing to his kind.

Zhang Sanfeng was secretly shocked in his heart, feeling that this booklet was an excuse for these soldiers, an excuse for revenge.

…………

On February 16, the fifth year of China, the army to conquer Luzon set sail.

The entire fleet consisted of 12 warships, 8 transport ships, and a total strength of five battalions.

Zhang Sanfeng was the commander-in-chief of the army, An San was the deputy commander-in-chief, and Li Xiaohei was the commander-in-chief of the navy.

The fleet is mighty and hot, and after the oath in Yangang, it is Zhang Fan's voyage.

Huang Xin, as a guide, stood on the bow of the flagship Yangwei.

The trip was accompanied by more than 20 Guangdong merchant ships and ships of the Kaifeng Company, all of which were also loaded with goods purchased in Dongqin.

This is an interaction between the army and businessmen, and many businessmen are ready to follow behind to see if they can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After arriving at Zhiyuan Port, these merchants sold some of the cloth and bought the sugar produced here.

Since the opening of sugarcane plantations in southern Qin, the sugar production here has surpassed that of the Ryukyus, and it has become an important foreign exchange earning area.

It also proves that the plantation model is very successful, and it does not even need to be as bloody as in the West to extract enough profits, because the sugar production technology of the Chinese country is more bullish, and the bagasse can also make wine.

Two days later, the fleet came to the shores of Luzon.

Li Xiaohei, together with the two army commanders and the guide Huang Xin, held a simple meeting in the cabin.

A map of the South Seas was spread out on the table, all confused by the dense islands.

"What the king means is that after we go straight to Manila in this battle and destroy the most powerful state of Luzon, we can block the north and south of Luzon here, so we can lead our army north and conquer the strongholds in the north one by one, and the armed immigrants will also be settled in the north first." Zhang Sanfeng pointed to Manila and said.

Huang Xin frowned and thought for a while and said, "Then our position at the moment should not be far from the Tortoiseshell Port, even so, the journey is tiring, it is better to capture the Tortoiseshell Port first and rest for a while!" ”

"Hawksbill Harbor is not far from Manila?"

"It's not far, about a day's journey."

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Li Xiaohei and An San and asked what they meant.

Ansan shook his head and said: "If you attack the tortoiseshell port, it will make Luzon prepare in advance, which is called fighting...... These five battalions are old battalions that often fight across the sea, bypassing the hawksbill port and directly near Manila, looking for a suitable landing site. ”

Li Xiaohei bowed his head and also thought that there was no need to do more.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Then we will fight Luzon first, and then we will fight Malilu and Feng Jiashilan, and there are Gu Ma Lalang, Mao Liwu, Wang Jinjiao Lao, Sha Yao and Na Beep Zhuguo in the south." One Luzon island, so many countries, I'm afraid that after all the fights, we can hang a row of medals on our chests. ”

An San and Li Xiaohei both smiled, but Huang Xin said: "Luzon is not like the Ming Dynasty, it is full of small countries, one island and one country, and some people have a population of only two or three thousand. ”

The three of them were all surprised, isn't this just a big tribe?

This can only be blamed on the Ming Dynasty, such as Mindoro Island, an indigenous tribe of thousands of people, which is also a country in the eyes of Ming officials.

Therefore, after Yan Zheng learned about the situation in Luzon, he immediately decided that each island should send a certain number of armed immigrants to let them do anything wrong on the upper side, and wait for the arable land and population near Manila to increase, and then slowly incorporate these places into the rule.

The same is true of the strategy against the Sultanate of Sulu, which is to obtain key strategic points, followed by the annexation of island after island.

It's like cutting down a tree, first cutting off all the branches, then cutting off the main trunk.

……

A day later, the fleet arrived in Manila Bay, Luzon.

Li Xiaohei looked at the deep-water harbor with a beautiful wind and sunshine, and his face showed a gentle attitude like seeing a girl.

The hydrological conditions of this bay are better than those of the port of Hyland (Vladivostok), which is more than enough to stop thousands of large ships.

Especially in the harbor, there are two distinct straits, which are simply born for both military and commercial purposes, and people have to admire the magic of nature.

He put down his binoculars, pointed directly at the North Strait, and said: "Landing from that side, there may be more detours, but it will definitely be able to outflank Manila directly!" ”

An San and Zhang Sanfeng also looked at the binoculars and quickly reached a consensus.

The Huaxia Army has always used only one trick in naval and land operations, that is, the land landing and outflanking, and the warships bombarding it head-on.

In an era when there was no anti-landing consciousness, this move could be described as extremely vicious, because the landing site was decided by the Huaxia Army, and the army could often appear in unexpected places.

And Luzon also had sailors, and when they discovered this powerful fleet, they immediately rowed forward on the ship.

Li Xiaohei didn't care at all, directly escorted the army through the North Strait, and swaggered to begin to measure the depth of the water.

Huang Xin greeted the merchant ships with a smile, saying that these were all ships that came to trade.

The Luzon sailors believed it, but wondered why they had gone north.

Soon, after Li Xiaohei led his ship across the North Strait, he found an alluvial delta with a small river, and some natives looked at them in panic.

"That's it!"

As the boats were lowered, rows of Huaxia troops went ashore unhurriedly.

When the light rifled guns and horses were also ashore, they were still in the mood to eat first.

The fleet also turned back, agreeing to bombard the harbor as soon as the guns sounded on the shore.

There is no shadow of the Luzon army in the whole process, from this point of view, it is far more primitive than the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has established an early warning system for coastal guards.
