For the leaders of the rebel army who dared to revolt and respond to the king's division, Zhu Chenggong treated them with a friendly attitude.

He was originally a returned expatriate born in Japan, and before he was incorporated into the Su Yan sequence, his army relied on foreign trade to maintain its operation, and maintained close relations with overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen, so he was naturally full of closeness to the Luzon diaspora.

The leaders of the rebel army who boarded the flagship were still trembling at first, and they were nervous when they met a county king, but after talking to Zhu Chenggong, the kindness of the other party made them relax a lot.

Moreover, many of the leaders of the rebel army and the Han Chinese living in Luzon were from southern Fujian, and the relationship between fellow villagers was even deeper.

After resolving the tension of several rebel leaders in a few words, Zhu Chenggong began to introduce the topic to the topic, asking a few people about the local situation in Manila and the strength of the Xiyi garrison.

After hearing that the garrison of Manila City was only 1,000 people, and the military discipline was loose and the fighting spirit was not high, Zhu Chenggong was even more confident in conquering Manila City, and he swore to the leader of the rebel army and the civilian and military generals present:

"The land of Luzon, I am bound to win, the people of Xiyi have oppressed the expatriates for a long time, they should take their land, go to their people, blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

Subsequently, all the Xia troops landed on Luzon Island and lined up outside Manila, during which the Spanish army in the city gradually restored order and suppressed the native and Han Chinese immigrants in the city in an orderly manner under the orders of the Spanish governor.

The Turen were nothing more than a rabble, which quickly collapsed under the suppression of the Spanish army, with many casualties, while the Han immigrants, although they maintained a certain degree of discipline and order, still did not receive professional military training after all, and fought and retreated, so they could only retreat to the Han Chinese gathering places in the city and rely on the streets to hold on.

They took a large amount of furniture out of their respective homes and piled them up in the streets as an obstacle to slow down the Spanish army's attack, they hid behind the obstacle and on the roof, and returned fire with arquebuses, bows, crossbows, javelins and even stones.

After learning the news of the fierce resistance of the Han Chinese, the Spanish governor Manrique was originally going to transfer artillery to bombard the Han Chinese gathering place, but he was worried that once the Xia army outside the city invaded the city, he would be extremely cruel and retaliate for giving this order, so he was a little jealous for a while and did not dare to give the order.

In this way, the time came on the second day, and in the early morning of the second day, the Xia army launched a strong attack on Fort San Diego and the city of Manila, and the Han rebels did not participate in the battle, they were asked to serve as auxiliaries in the rear.

Even though they had the experience of attacking Western-style fortresses, the Xia army still suffered a loss under the city of Manila, and as soon as they approached the city wall, the Xia army would be shot from all directions, and many soldiers would die under the city wall.

However, after the artillery unloaded by the Xia army from the ship was aimed at the city wall, it could only leave a small trace on the city wall, and the wall design of the fortress to maintain a certain slope made the shell bounce rate increase a lot.

For this reason, the Xia army could only take the risk of transporting black powder under the city wall and forcibly blowing it up with a large amount of gunpowder, but just as Zhu Chenggong was about to give this military order, a volunteer leader stopped him, who claimed that he had learned from a close Spanish garrison soldier that there was a small gate next to the Santa Lucia Gate that had been hidden for many years, and if the garrison had forgotten this small gate and did not close it, the Xia army would be able to sneak into the city from the small gate first.

After Zhu Chenggong listened to the words of the leader of the volunteer army, he immediately ordered someone to go to check and promised the leader of the volunteer army that if the small gate was really hidden, the Xia army could use it to attack the city, and he would give a heavy reward.

After a long time, the people who were sent by Zhu Chenggong to check finally came to report that the door did exist, because the location was not conspicuous, so they searched for a long time to find it, and the small door was indeed hidden, with a black hole inside, and they didn't know where it led.

If Su Yan was here, he would have remembered the disastrous siege of 1453, when the Romans forgot to close a small gate that allowed the Ottoman army to enter the city, and to this day, the Spaniards in the far east have not learned this lesson.

Anyway, after confirming the real existence of Xiaomen, Zhu Chenggong immediately ordered hundreds of elite soldiers to be selected from the army

Hui Wei will enter the city from that small gate, seize the city gate, and welcome the main force outside the city into the city.

Gan Hui then led the order to go, he was wearing heavy armor, holding a big sword, personally took the lead into the small gate, Gan Hui deserved to be the first fierce general under the command of Zheng, he led the army along the small gate into the city, appeared behind the defenders of the Holy Lucia Gate, killed the defenders by surprise.

The Spanish defenders did not think that the Xia army would suddenly appear in the city, and they were quickly killed and fled in a hurry, Gan Hui personally held a horse chopping knife to cut off a Spanish soldier who still wanted to resist, and the blood and internal organs that splattered out made the rest of the Spaniards frightened, chanting "demon" in their mouths, and ran towards the city.

Subsequently, Gan Hui's department took over the St. Lucia Gate, opened the city gate to welcome the main force outside the city into the city, and seeing the city gate open, Zhu Chenggong immediately ordered to blow the horn of attack, and the army entered the city.

The next battle did not need to be embellished with pen and ink, the colonial garrison was already known for its loose military discipline, seeing the Xia army enter the city in a big way, they did not want to lose their lives and fled in all directions, so that the Xia army could drive straight into the Spanish colonial governor's palace.

Seeing the Xia army entering the city, the Spanish governor Manrique turned pale, knowing that the general situation was gone, so he could only order the soldiers in the city to lay down their arms in the name of the governor, and he took the lead in surrendering to the Xia army.

On September 14 of the third year of Wu'an, the Spanish governor announced his surrender, and the city of Manila and Fort Santiago fell into the hands of the Xia army.

Manrik's choice not to send artillery to shell the Han Chinese enchantment earned him a good ending, but the Spanish soldiers and immigrants who had bullied and slaughtered the Han Chinese were not so lucky, and after they were identified, they were imprisoned in batches and publicly executed in the city center.

Of course, this is what happened later, Manrik signed his name on the surrender agreement with a bitter face, and then was sent to the merchant ship leaving Manila with some lucky people and Spanish immigrants, he stood on the deck of the merchant ship, looked at the city that was gradually moving away, did not think about the fate of the soldiers and immigrants who could not leave, slowly closed his eyes, and thought about his future fate.

In addition to the Spanish soldiers and immigrants, the local natives were also suppressed by the Xia army, and the indigenous tribes who had participated in the atrocities were exterminated one after another, and the blood of the natives stained the land of Luzon red, and they finally realized how wrong they had made until the moment before they died.
