Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

All reactionaries are paper tigers... No, no, no, said the Führer. The sentence of the Führer is that all the powers of Europe are paper tigers!

Especially the Portugal, Spain, Netherlands and the other declining powers in Europe, they had long lost their prestige from three hundred years ago. They even fell off the carriage of the Industrial Revolution for the first time, let alone the Second Industrial Revolution that was about to open.

These countries' fates had already been decided. They would forever be vassals of powerful countries like the English and French, at least until the second world war.

With three hundred years of power, they might still be able to bully the natives of Luzon. However, against the Chinese people who only had their wits about them, all of their methods of rule had already lost effect.

Do you still want to rely on past battles? Don't think that the Chinese are the servants of the Great Qing. How about the quality of your Spanish guns, the Chinese family!

He had already fully entered the era of afterwear, how could he use his previous disguise to deceive others? Do you really think we don't know anything?

In the whole of Spain, there are only five or six Iron-armored battleship and their tonnage is also very small. At the moment, the Spaniard's maritime interests are all supported by the Sail battleship of the last century.

You want to scare people with this little thing? The Chinese had fought with their lives on the line against the French Main fleet!

Even the Catholics of your Spain, who have been circulating for three hundred years, now have their greatest enemies. Who is this enemy? It was the Protestantism, the branch of Christianity.

Chinese people have effective methods to restrain you from the civil to the martial, then you are just a paper tiger or something?

No matter how arrogant the enemy was, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the cannons. If it was not enough, then there would be two of them!

The appearance of the God of War completely shattered the illusion of the Spanish garrison waiting for reinforcements. The entire camp was filled with flames and smoke, and explosions were everywhere, along with screams of terror.

The entire army camp only had 20 odd old cannons, and no matter if it was in quantity or quality, it was incomparable to the Chinese. In this overwhelming bombardment, the last bit of Spaniard's pride was completely torn apart.

"Surrender!" Everyone surrender! "We must take responsibility for the civilians, for the women and children …"

The commander was smart enough to use the excuse of protecting civilians to shirk his responsibilities.

Before the paper tiger could even make ten shots, it hung up the white flag. In the end, it had only killed more than a hundred people and injured more than two hundred. Such a cowardly soldier had caught the attention of all the Chinese.

"Pui!" I, your father, have been ruled by a bastard like this for three hundred years? What was in my head? "

Spaniard had really declined, these garrison troops were third-rate troops that could not be mixed in the country. Adding to that, ever since the entire Spain had lost to the British, they had never won again.

He was not a match for the French, nor was he at an advantage over the Dutch. After that, there was a coup d'état in many areas of the country, which led to independence in the 21st century.

This kind of strange country had lost its military soul long ago, it was simply impossible for a strong army to appear!

Right now, the only thing that maintained the colonial rule of the Spaniard was the habitual prestige that Europeans had towards other races. It was also the diplomatic balance that existed between the strong and the weak.

They were all part of Europe, and all the royal families were connected to them. Although there were many internal contradictions, they could still unite with the non-European tribes.

To put it bluntly, they were just teaming up to bully others!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this was just the skin of a paper tiger.

There was basically no possibility of him losing the war with the Spaniard. The only thing he had to fear was the diplomatic alliance of the Europeans. He was afraid that the Europeans would work together to pressure the Chinese.

"Let's end this quickly!" This is the order the Führer gave us! " At this moment, Xiao Hexin was in the Southern Sea commanding the Three Treasures Yan action. When he heard the news that dagupan had been liberated, he immediately ordered all the other rebel troops.

"San Juan, Santa Ana, and the Irakan region must finish this battle within 24 hours. Those who refuse to surrender must be killed!"

"The north of the Luzon must be liberated within 24 hours, and then the entire army must head south to Holy Raphael City, and block the main road of Manila to the north!"

"I know that you guys are suffering, and I know that you guys are very tired. I know even more that after this heavy rain, the road in Luzon has become a muddy one!"

"But that's not the reason. This is the best historical period for the liberation of the Philippines. If we don't seize this chance, we will need at least forty to fifty years to find such a historical opportunity!"

"We don't have time, we're missing this historic opportunity. Who knows when we'll have to wait!"

"Even if you have to put your life on the line, you have to stop the Spanish army in the north of Manila!"

The entire Philippines is made up of the northernmost large island of the Luzon, the central Isle of Visayas, the southern Isle of Mindanao, and the western islands, Palawan and Sulu, connected to the Borneo.

This was an entire continent, and it had developed agriculture and mineral resources. Back then, when the Spaniard was building the Manila City, its goal was also to obtain the unique geographical advantage of this island.

Especially the northern part of the Luzon, which was suitable for farming and urbanization. Furthermore, it was very close to the Taiwan Island, so it would be beneficial for Chinese rule and development in the future.

Therefore, according to the Chief's plan, even if the entire Philippines could not obtain it from anywhere, the 80,000 square kilometers of land north of the Luzon's main island must be firmly eaten up!

In San Baoyan's plan, the north of Luzon had pulled out four rebel armies, supported by a huge amount of resources, to quickly attack the stronghold, expel the Spanish rulers, and establish their own regime.

Xiao Hexin's strict order was given to every rebel army, adding the fact that dagupan City had already released the news of their victory to the entire Southern Ocean, it would stimulate the other allied armies to attack the enemy.

The Spanish garrison, caught off guard, did not expect the Chinese to be so quick and ruthless. They were completely unprepared, the invasion of the dagupan took a total of 36 hours, the invasion of the city took 49 hours.

It took 55 hours for San Juan to be captured, and 59 hours for the most difficult bone, Santa Ana, to be captured by the Rebellion.

The news spread so quickly to Manila that Governor Petyra turned pale with fright. He had not expected the Chinese to act so quickly, and did not give the Spaniard any chance to mediate diplomatic efforts.

"Proclaim war! To declare war on the Chinese! These damn Chinese, they want to take over the Philippines! "

"The great Spain will never lose to the Chinese! I am not the last governor of the Philippines! "Proclaim war!"

The Spaniard had truly gone mad. Governor Padilla had actually unilaterally declared war on the Chinese. When Xiao Hexin saw the declaration of war, he not only did not get angry, he burst out laughing.
