Early the next morning, the fleet continued sailing. The coast here was no longer desolate. The forests were sparse. The coast was made up of sandy beaches. Tall trees could be seen everywhere on the beach. There are no branches and leaves for several meters. The top of the straight trunk is like a canopy. Under the canopy, there are clusters of fruits. That is the most common coconut tree in Luzon.

Seeing so many large ships approaching suddenly, the fishing boats operating in the distance reacted differently.Some were terrified and rowed desperately towards the shore, while others stayed still and stared blankly at the fleet passing by. Someone on the shore was also yelling and running desperately.

Li Guangnian saw that many people on the shore were wearing very little clothes, and most of them were only wrapped in a piece of sackcloth, so he knew that most of these people were natives of the island.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wei, how far is it from Manila?" "Major General, it's estimated to be less than thirty miles away." Seeing that the battle was imminent, Wei Xiaobao no longer wanted to flatter or make long speeches. He had never been to Manila. Before the massacre, there were still many imperial merchant ships going to Manila. He had a complete map of Nanyang, and he knew the approximate distance.

"Oh, then we will be there soon." Li Guangnian frowned as he said, he could see from the binoculars that the people on the shore were very unfriendly to the fleet, and many fishermen who had just landed waved their harpoons and yelled at the fleet Hey, the people who were working in the fields were also holding hoes and other objects to gesture at the fleet. Although their voices could not be heard, it can be seen from their expressions that it is definitely not a friendly expression.

Li Guangnian said: "Lieutenant Colonel Wei, do you think they will have an impact on our siege?" Wei Xiaobao said: "If it is a report, they will be too late, but other influences are hard to say, after all, they are natives. Participated in the massacre, hard to say."

At this time, the Defender in front had sent a semaphore, and the Spanish fleet appeared ahead.This time the navy has a total of thirteen warships, and the Guardian and the original wooden ship Xiaobao served as the first echelon to clear the way.

Seeing the semaphore sent, Wei Xiaobao ordered the front to find out the size of the enemy, and then report back. Right now, there are more than 80 merchant ships carrying [-] soldiers and countless supplies. These merchant ships have three to five cannons, and the hulls have no An iron package with extremely weak protection, Wei Xiaobao did not dare to leave easily, his main task was to protect the merchant ships.

After waiting for a while, the semaphore from the front had already come. What we met here was the enemy's main fleet, with more than 30 Spanish warships. When Li Guangnian knew how many ships the opponent had, he said to Wei Xiaobao: "Lieutenant Colonel Wei Xiaobao, are you Said that this place is only thirty miles away from Manila. Is that so? Then let’s land immediately, let’s go ashore.”

Wei Xiaobao nodded, and immediately went to arrange ships to carry the army soldiers ashore. Merchant ships began to dock one after another, and the army soldiers began to file ashore in small boats.

The iron-clad ship Guardian received Wei Xiaobao's semaphore, and the commander of the Guardian immediately said: "Give me the order, let's go up." The boiler on the Guardian roared, and the numbers on the instrument suddenly accelerated. The Guardian was already accelerating at full speed. Rush forward to meet the enemy.

The Chinese Empire mobilized merchant ships to transport troops with great fanfare, and did not hide it. This also allowed the Spaniards to know the approximate time of the arrival of the Chinese Imperial Fleet. The Spanish fleet was actually ready two days ago.

Sanchez and Modio have already made a battle plan. They want to carry out a sneak attack before the ships of the Chinese Empire come ashore, and take advantage of the opportunity of the other party to protect the troop carrier. Of course, if the ships of the Chinese Empire can be It would be best if the warship sank. Even if the troop carrier could land quickly and destroy the Imperial Chinese Navy warships escorting it, it would be tantamount to cutting off the opponent's retreat.

Sanchez and Modio were on the same boat. They were surprised to see two warships with no sails and black smoke rushing towards their main fleet. The warships of the Chinese Empire can move forward without sails. It has always been a secret kept by the Chinese emperor. Although the Dutch knew about the existence of such a ship, the Netherlands and Spain were hostile to each other. The Dutch also suspected that this warship was a secret weapon of the Spaniards, so naturally they would not ask or Remind the Spaniards.

"Oh, God, what kind of strange ship is this, how can it move without sails?" Modio shouted first.Although Sanchez was surprised, he had to stabilize the morale of the army. He said: "Nothing is impossible? I said earlier that they are devils. The devil's things cannot be measured by common sense. We have God's protection, so let's sink him."

Modio cursed inwardly: "Old guy, you thought you could really represent God. However, Sanchez is right, no matter what he is right now, the only option is to sink him."

After counting, there were only two warships from the opponent to meet them, and the combat power of the two sides was almost [-] to [-]. Seeing the number of warships on his side, Modio's confidence was greatly increased, and he asked the semaphore soldiers to issue semaphores to attack the opponent.

After Wei Xiaobao issued a semaphore to the Guard, he commanded the merchant ships to dock, and got off the small boats to let the soldiers land. The small boats had already started to drive to the shore, but instead of evacuating, the natives on the shore began to yell and start to move towards the shore. Stones were thrown into the sea to prevent the landing of the Imperial Chinese Army.

Li Guangnian and Wei Xiaobao were no longer polite, and both gave orders to attack. The artillery on the ship also began to aim at the place where the indigenous people were densest. As soon as dozens of shells fell, a large area of ​​​​the indigenous people was sent into the sky. , bringing up countless flesh and blood stumps.The soldiers on the boat also started shooting with their rifles, and the firepower of the guns immediately shot or smashed half of the natives on the shore to death, and the natives screamed and fled in all directions.

Pei Yuan belonged to a small boss under Zhang Nianshan, the head of the Nanyang Ministry of Intelligence of the Chinese Empire.His ancestral home is from Quanzhou, and his great-grandfather died in the massacre by the Spanish in Manila 50 years ago. His family made a living overseas, and he came back to Manila, which is relatively closer to the Central Plains and has more opportunities for business and fortune. become his target.When Li Feng was a child, he often heard stories from his elders about the murders of his great-grandparents in Manila.His father also repeatedly nagged that if there was any trouble in Manila, he had to return to his hometown immediately, or temporarily escape to the forest.

The Chinese in Manila are working hard. The hard work is that the Spaniards squeezed the Chinese very hard. The annual poll tax per person is [-] yuan (Mexican eagle ocean). But if there is no massacre, as long as there are hardworking hands, there are countless people in Manila. In Manila, as long as you are willing to do it and pay the six-dollar Eagle Ocean, life is better than planing food on the mainland land.

Although after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the national power gradually became stronger and people's living standards gradually improved, but there is still some gap between relying on farming and earning money outside the home.

Pei Yuan thought that the previous massacre would never happen again, but he ignored his family’s urging him to go back several times. Because his family opened a fruit shop in Quanzhou, selling Manila’s specialty fruits, several shops can make a yearly income. Thousand silver coins, if he gave up here, the fruit shop in Quanzhou would not be able to continue to open, after all, all the fruits there were bought by him and shipped back.

People like Pei Yuan who live in the country are the key development targets of the Nanyang intelligence department of the Empire. After all, people with roots in the country are more reliable. Joining the Nanyang Intelligence Department, the improvement of life in his hometown has made Pei Yuan very supportive and agreeable to the current Chinese Empire. In addition, he still had some hatred for the Spaniards before. Collecting information for the Chinese Empire is also a treat he has never seen before. Several great grandfathers explained.

After receiving three months of training from Zhang Nianshan's intelligence department, Pei Yuan officially became a member of the Nanyang intelligence department. His several fruit beaches in Manila also became the stronghold of the intelligence department. The Chinese guys have also been developed into peripheral personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence.

When the Spaniards blocked the port, Pei Yuan already felt that something was wrong compared to his professional sense. When the Spaniards went door-to-door to collect Chinese knives, the nagging of his elders was connected with the current situation. He didn’t know what happened. , He didn't care about the loss, and hid in the forest with a few buddies when the Spaniards collected the knives.

It's a pity that intelligence personnel are in single-line contact. He can't tell more of his own people about his guess. He can only inform one of his uplines about the news that the Spaniards are about to massacre. He can't directly contact the uplines. At the agreed place, he didn't know when to get it online or if he got it. After sending the message, he took a few people and hid in the forest.

The massacre really started. Several of them saw the flames in the city, as if there were screams in the city. Naturally, they couldn't hear any sound due to the distance, but they knew that countless Chinese were being slaughtered in the distance. As they watched, their hearts were twisted like a knife.

Five or six days after the brutal massacre, Pei Yuan and others dared to quietly go out of the forest to investigate the situation. At that time, the entire periphery of Manila was full of corpses, and it was completely a Shura hell. As soon as they went out, they were discovered by more than a dozen indigenous people , In order to obtain their clothes and money, the natives followed them and started hunting them down.

Pei Yuan and the others had no choice but to flee back to the forest. These indigenous people continued to chase deep into the forest. As the little leader of Manila's intelligence department, Pei Yuan had his own weapon. An old-fashioned pistol with 48 rounds of bullets. After Pei Yuan shot and killed more than a dozen aborigines, the aborigines finally flinched when they saw that they had muskets. They were happy to chase and kill those unarmed people. When they found out that the other party had the ability to resist and also had muskets, they all ran away in fright.

The fact that Pei Yuan had muskets soon became known to the Spaniards. The escaped natives reported to the Spaniards after they returned. They attached great importance to the Chinese with muskets, and the Spaniards sent a ten-man team to track down Pei Yuan and others, who immediately fled north.

Pei Yuan and the others moved forward, and they fled in a panic. One guy had already been shot dead by the other party, and Pei Yuan also shot dead a Spaniard. , I am afraid that they will all die when they are discovered.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "oh oh" around, and a group of blacks ran out. It turned out that several people accidentally stepped into the territory of the dwarf blacks, and were surrounded by the dwarf blacks. The dwarf blacks were widely distributed 3000 years ago. In various parts of Southeast Asia, after being squeezed out and assimilated by the Malays, their living space became smaller and smaller, and they had to be distributed in swampy areas, deep in the dense forest, and some remote mountainous areas.The short blacks have short heads and short thighs, and are lean. Everyone has a big belly. They like to paint simple patterns on their faces. They carry homemade long bows and short arrows and go in and out of the virgin forest.Men are good at hunting and like to round up elephants in groups. Women gather wild fruits and dig tree roots at home. Most of their heights are below 1.5 meters for men and below 1.4 meters for women.

Pei Yuan heard many legends about short black people in Manila. For example, they caught outsiders who like to peel off human flesh and dry it for later enjoyment, and like to hang human skulls as trophies in front of their wooden houses. However, seeing hundreds of short black men pointing at him with bows and arrows, they wisely did not shoot.

Seeing the short black men around him, Pei Yuan couldn't help shivering when he thought that he would inevitably be skinned and eaten by the short black men. As for his remaining five subordinates and buddies, they were so frightened that they couldn't stand still.

The nine Spaniards who were chasing after Pei Yuan and the others also entered the territory of the short blacks. The Spaniards have always been brutal and bloodthirsty. When the nine Spaniards spotted several short blacks, they shot at the short blacks unceremoniously. , Shooting and killing several short black men.

The gunshot woke up the short black men who were holding each other with Pei Yuan and six people. They didn't care about dealing with Pei Yuan and six people anymore. They just disarmed their knives and didn't notice that Pei Yuan still had a pistol on him. Seeing that the six people didn't resist, They didn't even tie them up, they just escorted the six people together, and hurried towards the accident site. When they saw the Spaniards, those short black men screamed frantically, threw themselves at the Spaniards desperately, and even escorted Lin Feng et al.'s short black man is no exception.

The black dwarves once occupied most of the island of Luzon. Later, they lost the battle with the Sulu people and had to retreat to most of the south. However, the arrival of the Spaniards almost killed the black dwarves on the island. to the brink of near extinction.The short blacks are ugly, and to the Spaniards, they are exactly the same as the servants of the devil in the Bible.

Whether it was because of their ugliness or bloodthirsty, the Spaniards unceremoniously massacred the dwarf blacks. As a result, the number of dwarf blacks on the island plummeted, and they could only hide in the depths of the forest. Between nine and a half percent.

The dwarf blacks who were almost exterminated had a deep hatred for the Spaniards, and they all rushed up desperately. The Spaniards were shocked when they found hundreds of dwarf blacks. Ye Guo, who can gather more than 100 middle-aged men is already a large tribe, and the nine Spaniards immediately formed a formation, and they fought and left.

The short blacks seem to have the upper hand, but they have suffered heavy casualties. Although they also shot and wounded a few Spaniards, compared with their own losses of dozens of casualties, the gap is still too large. Yuan knew that if a Spaniard escaped, the short black men and he would be in big trouble.

While the short black man was not paying attention during the battle, he quietly touched behind the Spaniard and shot and killed two of them.

The Spaniards were flanked back and forth, especially when there was a musketeer with a more advanced firearm behind them. They immediately fell into chaos, and could no longer resist the attack of the short blacks. They ran for their lives, but they did not cooperate, and their muskets had no time to reload. Wherever they could escape from the hands of the dwarf blacks who grew up in the forest, they were all chased by the dwarf blacks and shot with bows and arrows.

Because Pei Yuan killed two Spaniards, and he was of yellow race, compared to whites, short blacks were not hostile, so his impression of Pei Yuan and others changed greatly, and he regarded Pei Yuan and others as honored guests.

The dwarf blacks gathered their dead companions and set up a fire in an open place to be cremated, while the bodies of the Spaniards were dragged into the river, their clothes were stripped, their intestines were cut open, and the large intestines and other things were discarded. The internal organs were cleaned and set aside.The flesh on the body was cut off to dry in the sun. It turned out that the rumors outside were not groundless.

Pei Yuan and the six felt their legs and feet go weak, and several of his men even vomited so much that they couldn't even stand upright. If the Spaniards hadn't arrived in time, they might be the ones who had their stomachs ripped open now.

After tidying up the corpses of the Spaniards, the short black man invited Pei Yuan and others to the place where they lived. Although they treated them like honored guests, they refused to let them go. They lived in a house full of various skulls. If there weren't six people comforting each other, I'm afraid they would go crazy with fear.

After several days of communication, Pei Yuan knew what the short blacks wanted to keep them for. They captured the Spanish muskets but they couldn’t use them. The short blacks saw that Pei Yuan also had a fire-breathing thing in his hand, so Ask Pei Yuan for advice.

Pei Yuan taught them how to reload and how to aim within a few days, and the black dwarves had accumulated dozens of guns, muskets and other firearms, as well as some gunpowder and bullets, and even formed a small musketeer team .

Although the black dwarves allowed them to move around, they were always watched by someone, so that they could not find a chance to slip away. On their territory, they lived in fear.

On this day, the opportunity to slip away finally came. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of cannons on the distant sea.

This sound made the black dwarf very disturbed, before he could drive into the dense forest completely.The black dwarf had tasted the shelling of the Spaniards before, but the intensity of the shelling before was much worse than the sound from the sea now, and the shelling now was louder than thunder.
