Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1036 Luzon Massacre

There are not many white people in the South Seas. Malacca, Banten, and Java are Portuguese, and Luzon is Spanish.

For the Portuguese and the Spaniards, the common name in Ming Dynasty is Franji people, but some people call Spain the Greater Luzon, which means Little Luzon in Nanyang.

The Jesuit priests who preached in Daming, as well as businessmen, were mainly Portuguese, not to mention in Macau, Guangdong, where the Portuguese still had a small stronghold, although Guangdong local officials also had complete law enforcement in Macau. right.

The Portuguese have various connections in Daming, and their interests are also entangled, so they have always maintained a friendly attitude towards Daming and the Han people. Of course, this is also the result of several overreaching invasions and being severely beaten by Daming.

Compared with the Portuguese, the extremely conservative Spaniards were much more barbaric. Although Spain was on the decline in Europe in this era, it discovered America, conquered the Inca Empire, and acquired colonies in Africa, Asia, and America. Victory and glory, coupled with their extreme belief in Catholicism in their country, made the Spaniards extremely arrogant and arrogant. They thought they were the chosen people of God, and they were the most noble race in the world. Achieved similar results to the Spaniards, but much more pragmatic.

As for Portugal and Spain sharing the world equally under the auspices of the Holy See, the Spaniards feel that they are the king of the world.

Around the seventh year of Wanli, Spain and Portugal merged, but the Portuguese did not approve of this merger. They still acted on their own, but the Spaniards became more inflated because of this.

Arrogance and arrogance, as well as extreme religious beliefs (the bastard Inquisition only existed in Spain and Rome at the time), the Spaniards hated the seemingly more civilized Ming and the atheistic Han, and at the same time they hated the wealth of Ming The land has been coveted for a long time.

A Spanish governor once wrote a letter to the country, saying that he could conquer China by giving him [-] soldiers, which shows how arrogant they are.

However, despite the arrogance and extreme hatred, the development of Luzon still cannot rely on the lazy local indigenous people who are not much better than monkeys, and still need hard-working Han people.

More and more Han Chinese went to Luzon, forming villages and towns, developing a large number of fertile fields and manors planted with fruit trees, which enriched the local market with various goods from Ming Dynasty, and made the local Spaniards extremely extravagant According to a priest's letter, "the humblest soldiers here can be compared with the landlords in the suburbs of Madrid in terms of food and clothing, and even surpass some low-level nobles."

They got such benefits from the Han people, but when the number of Han people increased, the local Spaniards were afraid. They felt that the Han people would compete with them for this colony and drive them out. Moreover, the wealth in the hands of the Han people was already enough. However, the Spaniards regard them as ripe fruits, and it is time to pick and harvest them. Comparing the two reasons, the latter is more.

God is pitiful, the kind and honest Han people have traveled across the sea to Luzon, and they have a place to live and the means to support themselves. Thank God. How could they have any other ideas? They think they can keep their lives here. For my own safety, I thought that someone had already sharpened their swords.

In the beginning, conflicts broke out between the Luzon aborigines and the villages. The local Han people swallowed their anger and did not dare to fight with them. They even pooled money and sent people to Manila to invite Spanish officials to mediate.

But the Spaniards ignored it at all. Instead, they promulgated a decree, saying that such a conflict was caused entirely by the Han people's aggressiveness, so the weapons of the Han people should be confiscated and the natives should be allowed to defend themselves.

The promulgation of such a policy undoubtedly made the aborigines who still had some scruples even more rampant. The lazy aborigines saw that the Han people were getting richer day by day, and they didn't think it was because of the hard work and frugality of the Han people. Instead, they hated them for robbing their own wealth and territory. With such indulgence, they became even more rampant.

There are many native people, but they are really useless. In front of the young and strong Han people who protect their homeland, they can't take advantage of it, but they are frustrated everywhere.

At this time, the Spaniards took action. Here in Luzon, the Spaniards only have more than 800 men, of which there are about [-] soldiers. Counting those who can fight, the Spaniards can reach almost [-].

Don't underestimate the 800 soldiers. The Spanish infantry of this era is known as the strongest infantry in Europe. The large square formation of muskets and spears originated from Spain.

With the participation of these 800 people, there is no way for the Han people to form any resistance, and not everyone wants to resist, and many people think that the "foreign government" is just asking for money, and if they give money, they will If you bought Ping An, if you went to make trouble with those rebellious folks, wouldn't that be a disaster?

It is precisely this kind of mentality that the Han Chinese who originally had an advantage in numbers were defeated by the Spaniards and the natives calmly, and then massacred.

Although the natives are not as good as monkeys, they are still human after all. After the Spaniards and the natives completely divided and surrounded the Han people in Luzon, disaster struck.

The governor of Luzon in Spain issued a decree, all Han people were divided into 300 people, and they were checked and those who were determined to be good citizens could return to their homes. Some people have illusions, thinking that after this time, everyone can go home safely.

There are 300 people in one hospital, just for more convenient massacres. Seeing the obedient Han people, the original worry of the Spaniards and Luzon natives disappeared, and they started to go crazy.

The Spaniards supervised the battle, the natives took the vanguard, and began to bloodbath the Han people. At this time, even if they found something bad, they could no longer escape. The fields they worked so hard to cultivate, the manors they developed, and the wealth they accumulated would all fall into the hands of the Spaniards. , their brothers and nephews will be killed by the natives, and their wives, daughters and sisters will be brutally humiliated.

In the 16th year of Wanli, Luzon was hell for the Han people. The blood of the Han people flowed throughout Luzon. The land in many places in Luzon became more fertile because the flesh and bones of the Han people were used as fertilizer.

No one in Daming knew about such a tragedy and killing, and no one even cared about the fate of these Han Chinese in Nanyang.

Leaving the territory of Ming Dynasty and traveling across the sea to a foreign land, in the eyes of officials and scholars of Ming Dynasty and even the common people of Ming Dynasty, they are already abandoned people and are not worth caring about.

*******************
The place seventy miles northwest of Manila is already very remote. There used to be two Han Chinese villages there, but of course it has now turned into a wasteland.

This place is not suitable for sailing, and there is no such thing as a port, but the ship lowers its sails and anchors at the shore, and it is still easy to go ashore when the boat is lowered. There is a rule for sailing at sea, that is, you cannot do this at night , because it is easy to hit the rocks or run aground, and such things happen at night, and there is no assistance at all.

But now obviously no one cares about that. A three-masted wide ship is parked not far from the coast. The people on the ship are all lying on the side of the ship and looking around. The boat is tilted a little.

"Damn, what can you see? When the big ship with red hair comes over, you don't run away. You go back to do your own business. Scarred eyes, you take care of the wind lantern. If you let Bai Wu There is something wrong with your boat, I will throw it for you and feed you bastards!"

"Torch! Torch!!"

A few people on the boat shouted. There was a torch shaking over there, and the lantern was shaken here.

Not long after, a small boat approached Guangzhou Ship. Someone looked down and said in surprise:
"It's not just Bai Wu, there are two other people, please let the net go."

The hook and a net of hemp rope were cast down. The people on the boat hung the hook on the boat first, and then climbed onto the boat along the net. As soon as they stepped on the deck, two people collapsed on the ground. The other yelled and said:

"Whoever gets them some dry food has been eating raw for half a month."

Another person was in a hurry to make arrangements, but the others hurriedly gathered around and asked questions, but the person who wanted to be with him knelt on the ground, cried loudly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"These two are the only people left in Baijia Village, and the rest are all gone. They were all killed by Shengfan, and the corpses are all gone."

All the people on the boat gasped, and the two paralyzed people on the boat also hissed and cried:
"It's so miserable. A child as young as Chunni is not spared. She was picked on a spear by that savage. The fourth brother's mother-in-law was ruined to death. They didn't even spare the child."

Some people on the boat were cursing loudly, while others hurriedly hoisted the sails and anchored. The boss of the boat came over and said:
"Brother Bai, you've seen it too. It's a blessing that two of them were rescued. I don't dare to stay here any longer. Take another look and kowtow a few more times. We're leaving."

Bai Wu is a young man in his early twenties. He is tall, but he is not as strong and dark as a man running in Nanyang, but looks like a scholar. Hearing this, Bai Wu kowtowed a few times towards the shore , After knocking, I couldn't help crying again.

The boat boss waited for him to finish crying, walked to him and whispered:

"Brother Bai, you let the brothers come here this time. You have spent all the money on your body. You can accept the five taels of money and go back to Guangdong to visit relatives and find a living. This is a catastrophe. sky has no eyes"

Bai Wu took the silver with tears in his eyes, stayed there for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"I want revenge!!!"
