Chapter 1086:Luzon Island

Luzon Island, located in the south of Taiwan, is not far from China, and the Chinese have arrived here a long time ago.

Ming Yongle three years, three Bao eunuch Zheng He led the giant fleet to Luzon, but also ordered overseas Chinese to lead the governor of Luzon, who served for more than 20 years, and spread Chinese culture, Minnan agricultural and fishery industry advanced technology, the development of Luzon Island.

Beginning in 1571, the Spanish colonists began to invade Luzon, establish the city of Manila, and gradually took control of the entire Luzon region.

In the Lusong region, the power of the natives is not strong, not far from China, coupled with the gold produced by Luzon, Spain has brought a large amount of silver from South America, came to Luzon to buy Chinese silk, tea, porcelain and other items, attracted a lot of Chinese merchants Jia to this transaction, and stayed in Manila.

As the number of Han Chinese increased, the Spaniards felt threatened, so the Spanish, in 1603, united the local people, carried out a large-scale looting and massacre of the Chinese in the Manila area, killing more than 20,000 people.

Thirty years after the massacre, the strength of the Chinese in the Luzon region has grown again.

In view of the previous massacre, the Daming Empire did not react violently, the Spanish again carried out a large-scale massacre, and more than 20,000 people were killed, and every few decades since, Spain will carry out a purge to ensure that the Chinese will not threaten their colonial rule.

Luzon Island, in Manila Bay, is moored with many sea ships, mostly Spanish ships.

Unlike the Dutch model, much of the Spanish colonization was funded and dominated by the government, and much of the wealth fell into the pockets of the royal family.

The Spanish royal family had money, annexed Portugal, fought the Thirty Years War, suppressed the Netherlandish Revolution, and spent the colonial gains, and the people did not save much wealth, as the South American silver mines gradually dried up, the strength of the Spanish Empire also declined.

At this time, the Spanish are still one of the most powerful countries in the sea, but Luzon is too far away from Spain, and it feels that their national strength has gone downhill, and the Spanish colonists in Luzon are actually doing well in foreign countries.

At this time, under the castle of Manila, a group of Spanish soldiers wearing armor and holding firearms drove a group of Han Chinese on the front, carrying stones and building forts and forts.

Inside the castle, the governor of Manila was furious, “Damn Wei people, their emperor is a shameless little man.”He promised Spain that the Wei people's fleet would attack the Ming people, and that we Spaniards only needed to threaten the Ming people from behind to get the most-favoured-nation treatment of trade!Now the father of Mingguo, who is targeting Spain, the Wei people's fleet, is hidden in the harbor, intending to let us face the Ming Kingdom alone.And the so-called most-favoured-nation treatment, with this is not a trade priority, the Netherlands, Japan is also the most-favoured-nation country, as long as the trade to Wei, are most-favoured-nation!Damn it!God will not forgive him.”

The governor of Manila felt that he might be put together, and was extremely angry.

"Your Excellency, you need not worry, the Empire has been operating here for many years, the fortress is strong, and the Ming people never attach importance here, there will be no problem!"A Spanish officer shouted.

The first two massacres were ignored, this time perhaps the news is wrong, the Ming army will not come.

The governor of Manila, shook his head, "Skopilford, this time is not the same, the Ming people will drive out the Dutch people in Taiwan, they are very likely to attack Manila, we must be prepared."“Do you control the Chinese people on the island?”

"Your Excellency, please be assured that you are in control!"Disobedient ones have been put to death, and the rest have worked for us as hard labor.This group of people can suffer, I have to say, the Chinese are really the best hard workers."

The governor of Manila, Spain, after receiving news that the Ming Army might attack Manila, had cleaned up the Chinese people on the island.

At this time, from the last massacre, only ten years ago, there are not many Chinese on the island, only a few thousand people.

The Spaniards killed some of the rebels, while the rest were captured and forced to build forts.

Zheng successfully defeated the Dutch and took Taiwan, allowing the Spaniards to eschealine the arrogance of the whites and seriously defend themselves in Manila.

The Netherlands is a maritime power, known as the sea coachman, in recent years strong momentum, even over Spain, to become the maritime hegemon.

The defeat of the Dutch and the expulsion of the Dutch from Taiwan shocked the Spaniards and at the same time alerted them.

There were not many Spaniards in Manila, only 3,000, and the number of Chinese troops was heavy, and Spain heard that the army's muskets were very powerful and knew that they could not fight hard, so they decided to strengthen the fortress and build the fort to stick to it.

There was not much food on the island, and as long as they were dragged in the fort for a few months, the Ming army ran out of food and retreated.

Under Manila, a group of Han Chinese, with their feet in handcuffs, were busy carrying stones, gunpowder and other objects under the watchful eyes of the Spaniards.

One of the men, who had a slow base of stones on the wall, looked around him, looked at the bay from time to time, looked at the ship anchored on the shore, and muttered in a whisper, "One two or three... thirty ships!"

The man finished observing the ship, and his eyes turned to the fort, moving stones to observe the defense of Manila.

...

In December, Wei Junwei's attack, which stopped in Tyumen, did not continue to advance.

Gao Yihuan wanted to attack, but the weather was cold, the grain and grass were not good, it was really not suitable for the Wei army to fight, coupled with the quality of the winter clothes of Sergeant Wei, the army could only shrink in the fortress and wait for the spring to come.

In order to reduce food consumption, the Mongols and Yerchangs returned from the exterrinding, leaving only 40,000 Wei troops and still remaining in the ruins of the leaves.

During this period, the Russians fled into the fortress east of the Ural River, and the tsar took advantage of the winter Wei army to rest and send reinforcements, and gradually stabilized his position.

Because the Wei army pursued the Russian army, occupied Tyumen, cut off the road of the west escape of the Zonger Ministry, the monk faced the pressure of the Wei army, took the Zonger north, and entered the extremely cold place.

In February, the weather gradually warmed up, the Wei army re-launched the attack, Wu Sangui across the Ural River, attacking the Russian fortress, the effect is not great, so the army returned to the east bank, into the state of control.

At this time, Gao Yihuan still did not find a way to effectively control Siberia, but he was ready to build a fort in the southern foothills of the Ural Mountains.

The Russian army entered Siberia, mainly to the southern end of the mountain, the relatively warm area, the Wei army controlled the southern end of the mountain, and the eastern bank of the Ural River, holding the Russian army into Siberia, and holding the Russian army against the Russian army.
