The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 152 Bring Yourself Salt!
Once the guarantee of force is lost, it is not far from losing the colony!

Barossa fell into despair, he was so dead!
As the governor of Manila, Spain lost Luzon during his administration.

In this way, even if he makes it back to Europe alive, Madrid will definitely have to send him to the grill to bring salt to himself.

Barossa took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and then ordered.

"Go and invite Mr. Consul and the Bishop to the meeting room!"

The officials of the Governor's Palace were ordered to do so.

That afternoon, Consul Rika and Bishop Sares finally came to the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion.

Barossa sat on the main seat, his face was full of vicissitudes and despair.

The coffee in hand had already cooled down, and the entire meeting room was filled with thick smoke.

Barossa had a pipe by his hand, and the best Cuban tobacco was burning in it.

Barossa was full of twilight, like a dying person.

Seeing this scene, Bishop Sares let out an exclamation.

"My God, who turned our Lord Governor into this!"

"I can feel the confusion in the Governor's heart. At this moment, only God can redeem the Governor's heart."

Rika also had an ugly expression on his face, but he didn't follow Bishop Sares's questioning, but spoke.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Barossa took a deep breath and said to the consul.

"Your Excellency the Consul, I need you to give an order to call the militias from the towns under the Governor's Mansion, as well as the garrisons from all over the place, and all gather in Manila to jointly defend the city of Manila!"

"I will live and die with the city of Manila!"

Sareth interjected.

"I think I can go to Batavia and ask for reinforcements for Manila. Inspired by God, the Dutch in Batavia will definitely be willing to help Manila."

"We are all God's people!"

What Sares said sounded like he was going to ask for help, but to put it bluntly, he was just about to run away.

Asking for help or something is just an excuse!

Barossa nodded and said.

"Please, my lord bishop, help me mobilize the people of Manila as much as possible."

"Master Consul, prepare to arm the people!"

"Then, I can allow the bishop and the consul to leave Manila and go to Batavia for help!"

Bishop Sares' eyes lit up, and then he spoke.

"Please rest assured, Governor, I will be responsible for the mobilization!"

"I believe that under the inspiration of God, the Spaniards in Manila, regardless of gender, age or age, will bravely take up arms and fight against the heretics to the last moment of his life!"

After saying that, Bishop Sares turned around and left the meeting room. He wanted to mobilize the Spanish in Manila through the influence of religion.

Consul Rika saw that Bishop Sares was leaving, so he spoke.

"Your Excellency, I am willing to stay with you in Manila and fight to the last moment for the glory of God and for the favor of Spain."

Governor Barossa shook his head and said.

"No need, just one person is responsible for the loss of Manila!"

"You are an excellent consul, live well!"

Seeing this, the Rika consul did not say anything more, but made up his mind to do everything the governor explained.

Includes weapons and more for militiamen to prepare for battle!

……

Rika left the Governor's Mansion, ready to go to the City Hall to preside over the work.

Just as he passed the cathedral in the city, he saw countless believers of God gathered outside the church.

They cheered wildly!

"Fight for God, you can go to heaven after death!"

"Cowards shall perish in hell forever!"

Bishop Sares stood in front of everyone, shouting excitedly.

"For Manila, for God's favor for Spain, let us fight to the end!"

"Stop those Chinese demons and defend our Manila!"

"..."

Rika withdrew his gaze. The bishop, who was kind and kind in the past, now looked extremely hypocritical and disgusting.

Here he uses generous words to encourage believers to go to the battlefield to die!

But he himself was about to flee Manila!
The bishop wants to use the lives of countless God's people to give himself a chance to survive.

What hypocrisy!

That's right, in Rika's eyes, these believers who are temporarily armed are going to die when they go to the battlefield.

The [-] professional soldiers in the Governor's Mansion were all defeated and wiped out. How could these ordinary people be opponents of the vicious Ming army?
With so many people on the battlefield, how many can survive?
Rika strode away, he couldn't stand the hypocrisy of Bishop Sares.

……

Outside Manila, the estate of the Scorch family!

Mr. Capello was frowning, and even his son Yada was full of horror and fear.

"Father, we must flee Manila!"

"I don't want to be a Chinese prisoner of war anymore. You can't imagine what kind of life a prisoner of war lives. You are simply not seen as a human being..."

Yada had been a prisoner of the Restoration Army several times. Although he was free now, he still had lingering fears about his life as a prisoner.

As soon as the news of his defeat in the Battle of St. Jones came, he ran for his life!
When the news of Lingayen's defeat came again, Yada almost cried out in fear in public.

Mr. Capello also spoke.

"Don't worry, Yada, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"

"Our Scorch family has two merchant ships anchored in Manila, and we can leave Luzon at any time."

Yada asked.

"Father, are we going to Batavia?"

Capello shook his head and said.

"Not going to Batavia, let's go straight back to Europa!"

"The Far East is too dangerous now, it's safer to return to Europa!"

Capello feels that whether the Dutch can keep Batavia is still unknown!
The Spaniards lost Manila, and their military power was not even as strong as Batavia in Manila. How could they stop the attack of the Ming army?

As for whether the army will attack Batavia!

Capello feels that this question can be answered in the affirmative without asking!

Following a series of military defeats by the Ming army on the mainland in the past two years, the Ming army lost vast land.

Next, in order to survive, the Ming army must expand its circle of survival.

The battle of the great officials and the battle of Luzon all took place against this background.

Do you need to think about where the Ming army will fight next?
It must be Nanyang!

The whole of Nanyang is a traditional Confucian cultural circle. In the eyes of the natives of Nanyang, Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Even if the entire Central Plains is lost, the Han family culture is still the leader of the entire East!
If Ming wanted to accumulate strength and counterattack the mainland, he would definitely take down the whole of Nanyang.

Both Zeelandia and Manila are lost!
How was Batavia spared?

As for whether to stay in Manila after the war, Capello never thought about it.

His family had participated in the previous two Tu Hua massacres, and their hands were covered with Chinese blood.

When the Chinese gain a firm foothold in Manila, what will happen to the Scorch family?

What a fool to think of staying in Manila!
Let's run away!

At this moment, Yada suddenly discovered that her "caution" was also hereditary...

Mr. Capello acted very quickly. Even if he gave orders, he asked someone to clean up the property, and then prepared to transfer to Manila.

Then leave by boat from Manila port!
