Luzon is one of the ancient countries of the Philippines, in the area of Manila, present-day Luzon.In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Luzon State had sent tribute, and after the middle of the Jiajing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, China's internal contradictions intensified, and the people on the southeast coast lived in many places, sometimes reaching tens of thousands.In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Wei, a native of Tong'an, had played, the sea was easy to mountain, close to Fujian, real estate gold, can be taken, it is said that Luzon.The Luzon archipelago is divided into four parts, with Luzon to the north, Visayas in the middle, Mindanao to the south, and Sulu to the southwest.Today, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao have all become Spanish colonies, and only the southwestern Sultanate of Sulu still maintains its independent status.Spain and Portugal were the first countries to embark on the Great Voyage, the first generation of maritime lords, who came to Luzon very early, completely conquering Luzon in 1671, and now it has been more than 70 years.However, the Spanish colonization method was relatively simple and crude, in general, it was to dig up silver from South America and buy it all over the world, neither developing the colonies well, nor using the silver obtained to invest in the domestic economy.Therefore, the people of Spain were poor, the economy was in a mess, and the colonies were the worst and most backward among the Western colonies.Therefore, after several wars in Spain, the treasury was emptied, and after the silver mines in South America were exhausted, the national strength immediately declined, but Britain, the Netherlands, France and other countries that earned Spanish silver gradually rose after obtaining funds to start.For Spain, Luzon was just a base for them to buy luxury goods from China after they brought silver from South America and went back to enjoy it.Spain did not want to build Luzon, otherwise with Luzon's proximity to China, its status should have surpassed that of the Dutch Batavia, but now that it has been colonized for more than 70 years, its status is not even comparable to that of a large man.At this time, although Spain controlled the entire Luzon Islands, the real stronghold of the Spaniards was actually only the city of Manila.When Zhao Ming went south, he had already figured out that if he took Manila, Donghai Town would be able to replace Spain and gain control of the Luzon Islands.March 1654.More than 13,000 people from Donghai Town's land and water army set sail from Dayuan Bay, sailed southward, passed through Taiwan and many small islands in northern Luzon, arrived in the northern part of Luzon, and landed near Lingarting Bay in the later generations, planted the sun and moon flag, called Beigang, and established a stronghold.Zhao Ming's army rested in Beigang, and at the same time strictly ordered the soldiers to commit no crimes, and publicized that the landing of Donghai Town in Luzon was to drive away the white feudal ghosts, liberate Luzon from the cruel rule of Western colonizers, and at the same time protect and promote Luzon, establish a prosperous Greater China civilization circle, and help the people of Luzon bathe in the advanced culture and economy of the Celestial Empire, get out of barbarism and ignorance, and move towards civilization.Before the Ming Dynasty, China had always been a superpower, revered as the Celestial Empire by the surrounding small countries.During this period, in the eyes of the surrounding small countries and natives, China was the United States of America, and countless people were full of yearning for the Celestial Empire, and even the kings of small countries went to China to pay tribute, and finally the king did not want to be it, and insisted on staying in China.Later, U.S. imperialism relied on the two world wars and Hollywood's decades of dish-cooking culture to gain the status of Chinese culture at this time, and used the dish-cooked culture to make trouble everywhere in order to achieve its own goals.In Zhao Ming's view, China has such soft power, and it can be used completely.This will greatly alleviate the resistance of Donghai Town to colonize overseas, and there will even be countless overseas natives who will take the initiative to act as a leading party to welcome Donghai Town's colonization of the local area.The Spanish colonial rule in Luzon was quite cruel, once slaughtering more than 20,000 Chinese at a time, and also carried out a large-scale cleansing of the local natives.As long as the indigenous tribes on the island develop to a certain extent and pose a threat to the colonial authorities, the Spaniards will definitely strike first to defeat and exterminate the indigenous tribes.The natives of the Luzon Islands suffered greatly from the Spanish rule, so Donghai Town landed in Luzon and played a political proposition of protecting and promoting Luzon to jointly establish a prosperous Greater China civilization circle and confront the Western colonizers, which immediately won the support of the natives on the island.In later generations, Japan was an evil country, and when it launched a war against China, it suffered fierce resistance, but when it pursued the strategy of southward expansion and attacked Nanyang, the people of Nanyang countries actually welcomed and supported Japan.Because in their view, Japan did not come to invade them, but to liberate them from the rule of Western colonizers, to lead the yellow race against the oppression and domination of the white race.However, later they found out that the Japanese were not stronger than the Western colonizers, and even more ferocious, so they began to rebel against Japan.Donghai Town is naturally not Japanese, but at this time, Donghai Town landed in Luzon, but for the local natives, it was similar to the situation of Japan's southward expansion, and soon won the support of the indigenous tribes in the northern Luzon region, and even the Sulu Sultanate in the southwest, the natives on Borneo also sent envoys to meet when they learned that the Celestial Empire army had landed in Luzon.Zhao Ming's landing in northern Luzon immediately alarmed the Spaniards in Manila, but the Spanish fought with Donghai Town in northern Taiwan and were defeated by Donghai Town.Now, several years have passed, Spain's power in the Far East has never recovered, and Spain in Manila has only more than 4,000 people, and it is not capable of going north to drive out the army of Donghai Town that is resting in Beigang.Seeing that Donghai Town had established a stronghold in the northern part of Luzon Island, and a steady stream of supplies were being transported from Taiwan to Beigang, the Spaniards began to feel anxious.The indigenous tribes of northern Luzon took refuge in Donghai Town, and the Sultan of Sulu sent an envoy to meet Zhao Ming, which made the Spaniards feel a great threat like a needle carpet.In order to confront Zhao Ming, the Spanish governor sent people to Mexico and Batavia to ask for help, and on the other hand, he strengthened the defense of Manila and prepared for a decisive battle.The Viceroyalty of Mexico was powerful, with tens of thousands of Spaniards, but it was too far away from Luzon to quench its thirst, but after the Dutch in Batavia received a call for help, the fleet commander Jabuco led a fleet to meet and fight a decisive battle with the town of Tokai.The original strategy of the Netherlands was to drag Zhao Ming with a large number of soldiers, and then use the fleet to attack and harass the sea trade route of Donghai Town, forcing Zhao Ming to negotiate peace with him.However, the situation has changed somewhat: first, Donghai Town is backed by the huge market of Chinese mainland, and the strategy of sea raids has not destroyed Donghai Town's economy; second, in February and March, Donghai Town spread news, claiming that it has formed an alliance with the British Republic, and after June, news came from the Indian side that the British frequently attacked the Dutch stronghold in India.This made the authorities of the Dutch East India Company not calm down, and the town of Donghai landed in Luzon, and the Dutch were worried that the Spaniards would be defeated and they would fight alone, so they sent out a fleet and sailed towards Luzon.In July, ten Dutch warships sailed into the harbor in Luzon and Manila Bay.At this time, on a hill by the harbor, a group of soldiers from Donghai Town, looking at the huge three-masted battleship, said in a deep voice: "Liu Qian, you immediately return to Beigang and inform the feudal lord that Hongmaoyi's battleship has arrived." ”The scout of Donghai Town clenched his fists, "Humble and orderly!"
”After that, we will leave with an indigenous guide.()
