Chapter 246: Purging the Chinese


Although the Spaniards had excellent armor, they immediately fell behind without a tight formation.Zhang Yida and they are all experienced bandits, and they can't fight in formation, but they are good at fighting alone.When Zhang Yida beheaded the leader of Xiyi with one sword, Yang Yanchang and Zhong Yexian also killed one Xiyi each.In the blink of an eye, only three of the six Xiyi were left, and one person was injured, Zhang Yida cut the thigh that injured Xiyi, Xiyi screamed, and involuntarily knelt on the ground, Zhang Yida immediately swept sideways, kicked Xiyi's side face, clicked, his neck was broken, his body flew out sideways, and he smashed heavily on the ground, and several brothers immediately fell with knives and axes, hacking them to death.The remaining two Xiyi were stunned, what kind of people were they, they were so powerful.In the memory of this colonist, they crossed the ocean, from the Americas to the South Seas, the natives were vulnerable, and when they heard the sound of muskets, they fled in fright, not only did these people not flee, but rushed up and killed several people in a row, and the eyes of the two colonists were full of disbelief.More than a hundred years ago, the Spanish Empire defeated hundreds of thousands of Aztec warriors with a few hundred warriors and allies to become invincible, and in the eyes of the Spaniards, the backward natives could not be their opponents, but now the two colonists were afraid.The two glanced at each other, and suddenly exclaimed and wanted to escape, one was slashed in the back of the neck by Zhong Yexian as soon as he turned around, and the other continued to run forward, but Zhang Yida threw an axe, hitting him in the back, and the blade of the axe cut through Xiyi's armor, causing him to fall to the ground.Yang Yanchang hurried to catch up, and was about to make up for it, but Zhang Yida said loudly: "Stay alive!"

”When Yang Yanchang heard this, he lifted the cross sword in Na Xiyi's hand with one foot, and everyone rushed up and tied him up.Xiyi is different from Jiannu, after Jiannu is captured, he often has a fierce face, roars loudly, and does not give in, after Xiyi is caught, his face is full of horror, and he keeps saying something in his mouth, Yang Yanchang can't understand it, so he directly stuffs him with a rag and stuffs it into his mouth.At this time, everyone looked around and saw the dead brother on the ground, and their hearts couldn't help but feel sad.Zhang Yida looked at the corpses around him, and walked quickly to his brother who was shot by a musket, both of them were shot in the chest, and a pool of blood foaming from the ground flowed out, and the two of them were already conscious.He hurriedly walked to the other brother, the brother's chest was also red, and his mouth was foaming blood, he saw Zhang Yida coming over, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak.Zhang Yida knelt on the ground and listened for a while, then shook his head at the few people who were looking here, bowed his head and said to the brother: "Brother, don't worry, brother, my brother will take care of it!"

”When the generals saw this, they couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads.The battle ended quickly, six Xiyi and five were killed, one was wounded and captured, and Zhang Yida's eleven people were killed, three were killed and two were wounded, and the losses were heavy.Zhang Yida closed his brother's round eyes with both hands, looked around, and couldn't help but feel sad, a brother who came out of the cottage died three more, and everyone was a little sad.However, everyone was originally a robber, a person who was mixed up on the road, and they were all aware of death, Zhang Yida's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that there will be Xiyi nearby, everyone clean up and prepare to evacuate!"

”At that moment, everyone worked together to clean up the battlefield, cut off Xiyi's head, stripped off his armor, picked up weapons, and cut down trees to make stretchers, preparing to take away the corpses of his dead brothers, as well as captured armor and muskets.At this time, Yang Yanchang picked up a leather bag, opened it and saw that it was a sheepskin drawing, so he hurriedly walked over and handed it to Zhang Yida, "Big boss, what do you think this is?"

”Zhang Yida unfolded it and frowned slightly, "This is a map, could it be that these white fans are drawing a topographic map of the upper reaches of Freshwater?"

”He was wondering when the branches of the trees in the east woods were plucked, and the creaking of his feet on the dead branches was heard."

Not good!

The wind is howling!

”Zhang Yida, Yang Yanchang and other veteran bandits changed their expressions immediately, and immediately exclaimed urgently, ignoring their brothers' corpses and seizures, and ran away.A few people just picked up a few muskets, dragged the captured Xiyi, and ran into the woods.Na Xiyi wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stunned by Zhang Yida's punch, and then carried away directly.And at this moment, there was a burst of gunshots, and the projectiles shot at a rapid pace, splashing branches and leaves."

I didn't take anything from the big boss!"

Zhong Yexian shouted loudly, and the camphor they bought was still thrown on the ground.These things can be exchanged for a lot of food, so that the family members can be fed, and can also be exchanged for cloth, pottery and other goods, so that the next time they go into the mountains to buy, if they are lost, the village will starve, and the capital of the business will also be lost."

Bang bang bang" Another burst of gunfire rang out, and projectiles flew behind everyone.Zhang Yida roared loudly, "No matter, it's important to save your life, go into the forest, enter the forest!"

”The crowd scattered and ran wildly through the woods, and a group of Spaniards in armor and muskets in the rear chased after them for a while, but the armor was too heavy and their movements remained unchanged, so they stopped without catching up.There were more than twenty Spaniards who arrived, and a small group of men and horses, the leader of whom wore an iron helmet, a white thing around his neck, and a sword hanging from his waist, looked like a nobleman.When he came to the battlefield, he saw the corpse of his own side that had his head cut off, and at first thought that it was the work of the Sheng clan on the island of Taiwan, but when he saw the corpse of the Han on the ground, he frowned and said: "That group of Chinese just now was actually able to kill our Spanish soldiers." ”After the Han Chinese landed on the island, they clashed with the Spaniards, and the Spaniards wanted to gain a foothold in the chicken coop, and urgently needed high-quality and industrious Han Chinese to serve as slaves, develop colonies for them, grow food, and meet supplies.Therefore, the Spaniards often attacked the Han Chinese Tunzhuang, and those Han Chinese were no match for the Spanish warriors at all, and this group of Han Chinese was only about a dozen people, and actually killed five Spanish soldiers, and it seems that one of them was captured.This made the Spanish leader look serious, it seems that His Excellency the Governor's decision is correct, the Chinese on the island of Taiwan, the strength is growing, will threaten the rule of the Spanish Empire in northern Taiwan.The empire must not allow such a hidden danger to exist, and it seems that it must carry out a purge of the Chinese, as it did in Manila, reduce their population, and remove their threat to the Viceroyalty of Taiwan.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people-led maritime trade activities were very frequent, and a large number of Chinese went to sea to go overseas, among which the Chinese in Luzon Manila had tens of thousands in 1603, and the increase in Chinese made Spain very uneasy, in order to prevent the Chinese from replacing their position in Manila, Spain carried out the first massacre in Manila, killing more than 25,000 Chinese at a time and robbing a large amount of wealth.Later, in 1639, after seeing the strength of the Chinese restored, the Spaniards carried out another massacre, killing more than 20,000 Chinese.After that, when the number of Chinese increased, Spain would carry out a massacre, treating the Chinese as fat sheep, once in a few decades, six massacres before and after, killing more than 100,000 people.Now, Zhao Ming continued to send tunhu to the island to reclaim, so the Spaniards felt threatened, so they decided to follow the example of Manila again and carry out a purge of the Chinese on the island of Taiwan to ensure that their rule would not be shaken.The Spanish officer glanced at the corpse on the ground, ordered it to be brought with him, and returned to the camp to report to the governor.
