Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 575 Luzon Protectorate

The Ming Long Teng Army was estimating the distance between the Spaniards and them.

The Spaniards are also estimating the distance between the two sides.

Both sides were ready to shoot at the first time. The purpose of Spain's shooting was to save their lives, while the Ming army wanted the lives of the Spaniards.

The armies of the two countries have muskets in their hands, and no one dares to be careless, especially Huang Degong, the coach of the Longteng Army.

In the case of having a great advantage, he does not want to cause casualties under his command.

At a distance of 180 steps, the Ming army could shoot, but the hit rate was not high. Huang Degong did not order to shoot.

At a distance of 150 steps, Huang Degong raised his right hand and waved violently:
"shot"

And this distance is just close to the limit range of the Spanish flintlock.

As soon as they raised their flintlock guns, they suddenly saw flames spewing out from the muzzles of Ming army guns.

"Bang bang..."

A burst of gunshots rang out, and a row of Spanish soldiers rushing to the front were instantly shot and fell to the ground. In a panic, their flintlock guns also started to fight back.

It is a pity that this distance is not the effective range of the flintlock gun, and the damage caused by lead bullets to the Ming army is completely negligible.

"Bang bang..."

Rifled guns in the hands of the Ming army fired three rows continuously.

"Pfft..."

The miniature bullets fired by the rifled guns spun like raindrops, and quickly penetrated into the bodies of the Spanish soldiers. The colonists' charging team splashed blood mist, and the soldiers fell one by one.

Most of the more than 500 people fell down quickly. In desperation, Coquila could only turn around and run back, and other soldiers also stopped and followed him to escape.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there were two gunshots ahead, and the heads of the two guards beside Coquila were blown off by bullets, and red and white things splashed Coquila's face.

"God..."

Coquila almost died of fright, but when he looked up, he saw that the Ming army chasing them had already arrived and was forming an array at a distance of more than 200 paces.

The muzzles of the rifled guns in the hands of the two Ming generals in front of the battle were still emitting smoke. It was obvious that they fired the two shots just now.

The scene in front of him made Coquila even more heartbroken:
"This... this is impossible, at least 230 steps away, how did they do it..."

Before the words were finished, Coquera, the dignified Spanish governor in Manila, suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Spanish Archbishop Rogers wanted to surrender a long time ago. He was really worried that he would be shot to death by the Ming army. When he saw Coquera fell to the ground, he thought he had been shot and died.

The old flicker was even more frightened, feeling that he couldn't move his legs, and hurriedly shouted to the remaining soldiers:
"Stop resisting, everyone, surrender quickly, the Lord will forgive you! This is not a disgrace!"

The rest of the Spanish soldiers were also believers, and they immediately threw away their flintlocks when they heard the words of the archbishop:
"Don't shoot, we surrender..."

Seeing the Spanish soldiers throwing away their firearms and surrendering, Li Dingguo and Huang Degong waved his hand, and the Ming army stopped shooting immediately, but the guns were still pointed at the prisoners, shouting:

"Hold your head in your hands and squat down."

"Yes"

The archbishop hurriedly led the Spanish soldiers, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, as obedient as a cat, without the aura he had when he incited the natives to massacre the Chinese.

When Li Dingguo saw Corquela fell to the ground just now, he thought the foreign devil was pretending to be dead, so he urged his horse to come to Corquela's side, raised his hand and shot him on the ground next to Corquela's head.

"God……"

Coquela was woken up by the mud splashed by the bullets, and sat up with a yell, only to find that his subordinates, including the archbishop, were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

He understood what was going on in an instant, and without saying a word, he immediately squatted beside the archbishop with his head in his hands.

Li Dingguo couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw Corquila's embarrassed appearance.

He looked at the clothes of the group first, and then put the revolver on Coquella's head.

Coquila was so frightened by Li Dingguo that she almost lost control, and hurriedly begged for mercy, but she couldn't speak at all.

"General... general... don't... kill me, I am... I am... I am the Governor of Manila, Coquera, and I must still be useful to you."

"Governor of Manila? Fuck, it's wonderful to have captured the Governor of Manila by accident."

Huang Degong jumped happily to catch the Governor of Manila so easily.

Li Dingguo was also very happy to capture the governor of Manila. It can be said that the entire Luzon has no threat and will soon be included in Ming Dynasty.

A centurion was left to guard the captives, and someone was sent to send the victory report to the emperor. Li Dingguo and Huang Degong then led the Dragon Banner Army to clear out the rebellious natives in the city.

Almost all the Chinese were outside the city, and there was not a single Chinese in the city. This allowed the Ming army to unscrupulously clean up and slaughter the rebellious natives in the city.

After Zhu Youjian received the battle report of the capture of the Governor of Manila, he urged the horse and Qi Jiguang to enter the city together, and the two thousand navy returned to the battleship.

Surrounded by Qi's army, Zhu Youjian and Qi Jiguang went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

Now that Manila is taken, the Governor's Mansion will become the Luzon Governor's Mansion.

There is no army in the Governor's Mansion, only a dozen or so security guards and women, and all other personnel were sent by Coquila to guard the city.

Qi Jiguang ordered people to clean up the Governor's Mansion in Manila, and all personnel were expelled.

Then, together with the emperor Zhu Youjian, he urged the horse to enter the Governor's Mansion in Manila.

Zhu Youjian jumped off his horse in the yard before looking up at the Governor's Mansion.

The scale is not small, there are dozens of houses, all of which are Western-style.

Although it cannot be compared with the Forbidden City, it is considered the best in Manila.

Walking into the lobby of the Governor's Mansion in Manila, I found that the decoration inside is not bad.

Zhu Youjian walked behind Coquella's desk and sat down on the soft tiger leather sofa.

The tiger leather chair is very soft and feels very comfortable to sit on.

At this time, Zhu Youjian already wanted to replace the Jingshi Dragon Chair with a tiger leather sofa, but the mahogany seat was really hard.

Seeing that the emperor was very satisfied with the seat here, Qi Jiguang cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Did your Majesty take a fancy to the seat here? When I return home, I will find someone to make one for Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Well, it is indeed very comfortable to sit on. After we triumph, you can find someone to help me make more."

"According to the purpose"

After the two chatted for a while, Li Dingguo and Huang Degong walked in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Manila and the Archbishop of Spain have now become prisoners of the Ming Dynasty. Please let Your Majesty know how we should deal with them!"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said:
"Bring them up, and I will try them myself."

"According to the purpose"

Soon the governor of Manila and the Spanish archbishop Rogers were brought into the governor's office by Jin Yiwei.

After entering his office, Coquila couldn't explain what he was feeling.

Two hours ago, this was still his office, and the city of Manila was still his territory.

But two hours later, everything changed drastically, and none of this had anything to do with him.

Just when Coquila had mixed feelings in his heart, a majestic reprimand suddenly came:
"Bold, when you see me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, hurry up and kneel down!"
