Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 534 Windfall
According to historical records, this massacre against the people of Ming Dynasty caused more than 4000 deaths.

But this is just one of the incidents where the Spanish colonists massacred my Chinese people in Luzon.

In 1603, more than [-] Ming people in Luzon were massacred, and only [-] Chinese merchants were spared.

It turned out that the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish colonial government was relatively harmonious because they jointly encircled and suppressed Lin Feng, Lin Daogan and other pirates.

Later, 250 Chinese were forced by Spain to invade Molucca, a Ming Dynasty vassal state in the Spice Islands.

As a result, Cao Zhou was a little lazy and flogged to death. Pan Hewu and others resisted and killed Das Marenas, the Governor of Luzon in Spain and others.

Later, Spain expelled all Chinese businessmen and Chinese, but the Chinese continued to gather outside the city.

At that time, a large amount of silver entered Daming from Luzon and Japan, which caused a currency depreciation crisis in the late Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Wanli, who had gone through three major levies, listened to Yan Yinglong and Zhang Ni, the envoys of mining tax, and sent Zhang Ni, Cheng Wang Shihe of Haicheng County, and Baihugan Yicheng to Jiyi Mountain in Luzon for prospecting.

Because Luzon was originally a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, but the court didn't know the difference between the Spanish who invaded Luzon and the previous Luzon kings.

The Spanish colonists believed that the Chinese in Luzon might be internal agents, and that the Ming Dynasty might invade their country and murder them.

The next year, Spain tricked the Chinese into attacking neighboring countries and bought ironware at high prices.

The Governor of Spain ordered the names of the Chinese to be recorded, and 300 people were divided into a house, and they were massacred upon entering.

After being starved and trapped in the mountains, he began to attack the city, and was ambushed by Spain, and 5000 people died before and after.Afterwards, he lied to the Ming court that the Chinese were about to plot chaos, and had to kill the Chinese as a last resort.

In 1609, more than 2 Chinese were murdered because Chinese businessmen protested against excessive taxation.

In the massacre six years ago, 5 Chinese businessmen in Luzon were massacred by the Spaniards.

In 1639 (the 12th year of Ming Chongzhen), the Spaniards forced the Chinese to pay high ID card taxes and rent taxes, but they met with resistance, and the Spaniards massacred the Chinese again.

At this time, the Ming government was very busy, and Emperor Chongzhen was issuing a ban on smoking, expressly ordering "death to smokers".

Locust plagues, drought, famine, and cannibalism occurred in Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places.

Li Zicheng led 50 riders into Henan, the hungry people revolted, and the crowd reached 50, and the Yueyang Tower was destroyed by the war.

Zhang Xianzhong revolted against the Ming Dynasty in Gucheng, Hubei.The Ming court had no time to take care of overseas affairs.

In 1654, Italian priest Ricoro arrived in Xiamen from Manila.

Zheng Chenggong heard about the atrocities committed by the Spaniards in Luzon, and was dissatisfied with the Spaniards in Luzon. He planned to send envoys to recruit them. If he refused, he would send troops to take them.

At that time, there were tens of thousands of Han Chinese in Luzon, not less than in Taiwan.

In April 1662 (the 4th year of the Yongli calendar), the Spanish colonists in Luzon massacred the Chinese again.

Li Keluo carried Zheng Chenggong's letter of credence to the governor of Luzon, intimidating the Luzon authorities, intending to send troops to assist the Luzon Chinese.

After Li Keluo submitted his credentials, the Spaniards were shocked and immediately massacred tens of thousands of Chinese in Luzon.

Afterwards, the Spaniards were afraid of Zheng Chenggong's attack, so they ordered envoys to come to Taiwan with Li Keluo to beg for peace.

After Zheng Chenggong learned that the Chinese had been massacred, he was furious and immediately decided to send troops south to Luzon, but he died of illness.

Then there is the struggle for the throne within the Zheng dynasty, unable to attack the Philippines.

In addition, when the Manchu Qing ruled China, they had never had the concept of sea power. At the same time, they also regarded the Han people as outsiders, and there was absolutely no reason to help them.

So no one will inherit Zheng Chenggong's legacy of safeguarding the rights and interests of overseas Chinese.

The Chinese in Luzon suffered another mass massacre.

The man behind one of the massacres of Chinese was this El Salvador.

Can El Salvador not be compelled by his own crimes?

What's more, all the wealth he earned over the years is on the battleship. Once the Ming army boards the ship for inspection, all his efforts will be wiped out.

Even after being hit twice, he still ordered the sailors to adjust the sails and try to escape.

In the end, it was obviously a problem for him to do so, and the Da Ming battleship couldn't let him go.

"Wendi Zhengde, there is a problem with the battleship ahead, try not to fire, and force him to stop immediately."

"Yes"

Zhang Huangyan smiled coldly, and immediately ordered the two Ming Dynasty ironclad warships to force the unknown warship to stop.

After receiving the order, the two ironclad warships of Wendi and Zhengde immediately attacked at full speed.

The speed of the sail warship was not as fast as the iron-clad warship driven by the steam engine, and it sailed against the wind, and was soon blocked by the Ming warship.

If it weren't for the experienced sailors, the Spanish sailing warship would probably collide with the iron-clad warship.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Salvador had no choice but to stop the battleship, and he still dared not order the firing.

El Salvador knew very well that once they fired at the Ming battleship, the giant iron armored ship of the Ming Dynasty would sink them without hesitation.

"Quickly, surrender with the white flag."

At the critical moment, El Salvador took out his trump card and surrendered immediately.

Spain has done all kinds of bad things in Nanyang these years. In order to prevent people from thinking about it, after departure, El Salvador asked people to remove all traces of Spain on the battleship.

Now being forced to stop by the Ming warship, Salvador still has a fluke mentality. He thinks that as long as he doesn't sign up, at least he won't have a big problem keeping his life alive.

"Rumble..."

"Everyone put down their weapons and go to the deck, or we will sink your battleship."

As soon as the white flag was raised, the two ironclad warships were attached to the sail warship, and the sail warship suddenly shook violently.

In order to warn them, the Ming army threw two grenades directly on their battleship.

As a result, the Spanish soldiers flying the white flag were blown up into the air on the spot, and all that fell were stumps and broken arms. Salvador rolled his eyes and fainted.

There were more than 100 Spanish soldiers escorting El Salvador, and they wanted to get out of the cabin and surrender.

As a result, seeing the companions who were flying the white flag being blown up to the sky, all of them dared not move in the cabin.

When the two Ming soldiers who threw the grenade saw that they had blown up the man holding the white flag to death, they immediately laughed:
"Sorry, I made a mistake..."

The captain of Wendi did not blame them, but reminded himself:
"Everyone, be careful. If anyone resists, kill them immediately, and the translator will let the people on the sailing warship get out of the cabin and surrender immediately!"

Mingjun's translator agreed, and immediately took out the loudspeaker to convey the captain's order to the Spaniards on the sailing warship.

More than 100 Spanish soldiers did not dare to disobey the Ming army's order to resist. They carried Salvador onto the deck.

A clever soldier was worried that the Ming army would drop bombs again, so he raised his hands high and shouted:

"Grandpa Mingjun, don't shoot, we have already surrendered..."

The captain of the Wendi looked at these foreign devils coldly, and then called a hundred households with a wave of his hand:
"Let them all squat down with their heads in their hands, and you lead 200 people to board the ship for inspection."

"Yes"

Hundreds of households led the order and immediately led two hundred Ming troops aboard the Spanish sailing warship:

"Everyone, all crouch on the deck with their heads in their hands, and those who disobey will be killed."

These Spanish soldiers immediately obediently put their heads in their hands and squatted obediently on the deck.

Dozens of people were left to guard the prisoners, while Baihu led people into the cabin of the sailing warship.

"open the box"

Seeing that there were many boxes in the cabin, the Ming army Baihu immediately ordered them to be opened for inspection.

"Click"

"I'll go, general, you see it's all gold!"
