Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 571 Captive
Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, waved his hand, and the Ming army, armed with rifled guns, quickly surrounded the surrendered natives and Spaniards.

Li Dingguo and Huang Degong, two great Ming generals, walked up to Qi Jiguang and asked:

"Captain, Your Majesty seems to have said that we don't want any prisoners."

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly:
"The two generals, the Holy Majesty also said that whether or not to take prisoners depends on the situation. Now that they are no longer a threat and Manila has not yet been captured, their surrender can be accepted for the time being."

"Oh, everything is up to the Lord."

The two handed each other again, and then stood beside Qi Jiguang without speaking.

"Huang Ming, order the captives to put the firearms and weapons in their hands aside, bind each other's hands, and kill anyone who resists on the spot."

"Yes"

Huang Ming led the order and immediately ordered the native and Spanish soldiers to put down their weapons and tie each other's hands.

"I protest, we have already surrendered, we can no longer be tied up, I hope Daming treats the prisoners preferentially."

Most of the people did not resist, and they all followed Huang Ming's request.

But the colonel and three captains of the Spanish army objected.

According to Western laws, the warring parties cannot abuse prisoners, and they can exchange prisoners or redeem them with money after the war.

Li Dingguo and Huang Degong looked at each other, and they turned their hands behind their backs, and swayed back to the colonel of the Spanish army and several captains.

Li Dingguo looked at a few people with a smile, and said lightly:
"Who are you?"

A man who looked like an adjutant hurriedly said:

"This is Colonel Raiden of the Royal Spanish Army, and we are his deputies, all with the rank of captain."

Li Dingguo and Huang Degong didn't understand what a captain was, so he nodded:
"Oh, what are colonels and captains?"

Several captives hastily explained:

"We are not things, we ask Daming to treat the prisoners preferentially!"

Li Dingguo laughed loudly:
"Oh, I see, you are not things, so tell me, what are your identities now?"

"right now we?"

"General, we are your prisoners now!"

Li Dingguo reached out and took out the revolver at his waist, and instantly pressed it on the forehead of the captain who screamed the most fiercely, his tone became cold:

"Captive? Are prisoners qualified to negotiate terms with Daming? This general sees that you want to meet your God, so I will grant you..."

"boom"

Before Li Dingguo finished speaking, he pulled the trigger, and with a gunshot, the head of the Spanish captain was blown off.

Li Dingguo's operation almost frightened the others into fainting, how could he kill people as soon as he said they would kill.

Seeing Li Dingguo shoot a captain, Huang Degong also took out his revolver, and his target was Colonel Leiden of the Spanish Royal Army:
"Preferential treatment to Nima, why didn't you treat the captives preferentially when you massacred my Ming people..."

"Don't kill me, you can exchange me for silver..."

The dignified Colonel of the Royal Spanish Army, his legs were weak from the fright, begging for mercy, and an unknown liquid flowed down his trouser legs.

Huang Degong ignored him at all, and was about to pull the trigger with his fingers. Leiden sat on the ground limply, murmuring incessantly:
"No...don't kill me..."

In fact, Huang Degong was just scaring him. Qi Jiguang had already said that he would temporarily accept their surrender.

The nature of Li Dingguo killing a captain is completely different. He is killing chickens and prohibiting monkeys. He has already surrendered and dares to pretend to be coercive. It would be strange not to kill him.

Qi Jiguang waved his hand to Huang Degong and said with a smile:

"General Huang, save his life first and let the Holy One deal with them."

"Yes, the death penalty is forgiven for the time being, but the living crime is inevitable, and I will give them the task of cleaning the battlefield."

Huang Degong gave a military salute to Qi Jiguang, then retracted the revolver, and handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the group of prisoners.

"Colonel bullshit, let me spare you for the time being. As for how to deal with you in the future, it depends on your performance. Have you seen the battlefield? This is all your fault. Now you clean up the battlefield, or you will be skinned and fed to the dogs."

Hearing picking skin and cramping to feed the dog, Leiden's body trembled again.

He could imagine the pain of that kind of death, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Li Qin, tell these people to clean up the battlefield immediately, dig some deep pits, bury the corpses and other messes, and then burn this area with firewood and hay."

"Yes"

Qi Jiguang called an interpreter and asked him to tell the natives and Spanish prisoners about cleaning the battlefield.

Although the dead were piled up like a mountain, there were also five or six thousand captives. It was not too difficult to do this kind of thing.

The whole area is red with blood, and there are many parts of dead native and Spanish people.

These things must be cleaned up, otherwise it may cause a plague.

From now on, this place will be the territory of Ming Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang will not allow unclean things to exist.

After interpreting the order, Qi Jiguang sent another thousand Ming soldiers to supervise the prisoners, and then walked to Liu's manor.

"General, kill them and don't leave a single one alive. We want to avenge those murdered compatriots..."

There were still more than 100 steps away from Liu's Manor, and suddenly countless Chinese rushed out of Liu's Manor.

Armed with weapons, they rushed towards the natives and Spaniards, shouting to avenge their dead compatriots.

Qi Jiguang waved his hand:
"Come on, stop them!"

"Yes"

Qi Jiguang gave an order, and the Ming army who followed them quickly formed a wall in front of the Chinese.

Seeing the Ming army blocking the way, the Chinese did not force their way in, but bowed to the Ming army one after another:
"Thanks to the life-saving grace of the Ming soldiers, please step aside, we want to avenge our relatives!"

Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, and Huang Degong walked up to them.

Qi Jiguang said:
"We are the Ming Army. I am Qi Jiguang, the governor of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty. Those people have already surrendered. We are going to consult the Holy Majesty before making a decision."

Hearing that the person who came was the coach of Ming Dynasty, the Chinese fell to their knees one after another:
"Thank you to the governor and the soldiers for saving us. Without you, we would have been massacred again. Long live His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, and Huang Degong hurried forward to help the elderly in front:

"Everyone, get up! You are all my compatriots in China. How can the Holy One love the people like his son and let you suffer another catastrophe?"

Qi Jiguang has said that those natives and Spaniards will be handed over to the emperor, so what else can the Chinese say!Without them they would have ceased to exist.

"Xie Dudu, we listen to you."

At this time, dozens of people walked quickly from Liu's Manor, it was Zhan Zhao and Jin Yiwei under their command.

Seeing the arrival of the Ming army, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the back hall to visit the injured Chinese and Liu Fengxiang and Zhang Shantang, but they did not know that the Chinese rushed out to kill the prisoners.

After getting the news, he immediately came out to stop it, but found that everyone was thanking the Ming army.

They hurried forward to greet Qi Jiguang:

"Hi Dudu and the two Marquises, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang is polite."

Although they are not under the jurisdiction of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, Qi Jiguang is the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, and they cannot be compared in terms of prestige and status.

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly:
"Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of His Majesty, the governor thanked you."

The two of Zhan Zhao held hands together again:

"The governor has given the award, this is our duty."

Qi Jiguang looked at the Chinese present, then at the appalling Liu Family Manor and said:
"We are going to attack the city of Manila soon, and this place will be handed over to you for the time being."
