Chapter 502 Quan Xu is very angry, and the consequences are very serious, and the character of the Chinese is doomed to their sorrow.That's right, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.In the forest of nations in the world, the strong are respected, and the weak eat the strong, which is an eternal law.The Spanish colonists cooperated with the Chinese in Manila because they needed the goods and services of the Chinese, and they used galleons to resell the goods of the Chinese to the Mexican colony; The Chinese were also happy to earn back gold and silver from the Spaniards.There were skirmishes, and conquest and colonization were not playful, but on the whole, they were able to get along peacefully at first.More and more Chinese ships are going to Manila, and more and more Chinese are settling.The population of Spain is not large, and the number of people who go to Manila is even smaller, and the number is slowly crushed by overseas Chinese.This situation made them feel more and more uneasy and entangled.As the Spaniards' colony in Taiwan was snatched back by the whole army, it was a matter of course, however, the narrow-minded, selfish Spaniards believed that it was the Ming who robbed them of their things.In the face of Chinese of the same color, the Spaniards became very ferocious and tyrannical, and they were both beaten and scolded.There began to be a rumor in Manila City, and I don't know how it came out, anyway, the argument is that the Chinese in Manila are all spies.It was the Chinese emperor who sent them to Manila to spy on intelligence, and once the information was confirmed, they would launch an army of 100,000 to expedition to Manila to level Manila, and the Chinese in Manila would act as an internal response and kill all the Spaniards in Manila together with the Ming expeditionary force.Of course, this is just a rumor that circulates among the Spaniards in Manila, and similarly, there are other rumors among the Chinese, because the Chinese have wealth, and there is a lot of wealth, and the Spaniards are going to kill pigs and eat meat, that is, to kill all the Chinese in Manila.Fear of death, this is human instinct.Lin Feng, the leader of the Chinese diaspora in Manila (who assisted the colonial government in handling expatriate affairs), decided to send someone to contact Quan Xu in the face of the uneasiness of many expatriates.Lin Feng, as the leader of the expatriate, actually knew very well that the Spaniards were very afraid of Quan Xu, the general soldier of Liaodong, and if Quan Xu was allowed to interfere, even if a small official was sent over, the Spaniards would not dare to bully them unscrupulously.The idea is right, but the wrong thing is that Lin Feng is in the middle of the plan.The small boat with a crew of twenty-five was just about to go to sea when it was captured by the Spaniards, and a letter to Quan Xu was found from the seafarers, which almost confirmed the rumor that the Chinese were spies.As a result, the Spaniards decided to strike first and kill all the Chinese "Neiying" in Manila.Colonel Vargas, a colonel of the Spanish colonial army in Manila, led more than 3,000 colonists to raise muskets against the unarmed Chinese."
Bang bang bang!"
The Chinese in Manila screamed and fell in pools of blood, and a large number of Spanish colonial troops with the indigenous Luzon army began to massacre the Chinese with impunity, looting Chinese farms, shops, factories and warehouses.Manila instantly became a living hell.At this time, Lin Feng tried to negotiate with the Spanish colonial governor Sebastián Hurtado de Corcuera, but the cannon mounted on the governor of Manila spewed a cloud of scorching smoke, and the air wave swept wildly, and a cannonball spun out along the rifling line and smashed into Lin Feng and his entourage.Lin Feng's entourage was killed and wounded, and the surviving entourage supported Lin Feng, who was already frightened, and fled to the city gate, the Chinese in the city screamed in horror, the women screamed in despair, and the children cried helplessly, shaking the heavens and the earth.In this era, the expatriates who dared to go to sea were not as timid as rats, they were driven to a dead end, and naturally began to resist, under the impact of the Chinese, Lin Feng and some Chinese escaped from Manila City.It is a pity that there are 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese and their families in Manila, and only 2,000 or 3,000 Chinese who ran out of the city............
The battle in Tsushima Castle was over, the inner city was razed to the ground, the clan was slaughtered, nearly 5,000 samurai and ashigaru were slaughtered, and the casualties of the Ming army and Korean sailors were only a few hundred, and the vast majority of these casualties were borne by the Korean sailors.When Quan Xu and Mao Yuanyi landed on Tsushima Island, they saw that Tsushima City was still blazing, Shi Lang commanded his subordinates to escort groups of prisoners to the docks, some unorganized and undisciplined guys carried wine bottles copied out of nowhere in their hands, and poured sake like boiling water, they were all a little drunk, holding broken sabers in their hands, walking with eight masters and singing with broken gongs and voices to go to the west exit, driving cattle out of the Japanese hiding in all corners, and then capturing them.When he saw the woman who was quite beautiful, he dragged her into the alley......
Mao Yuanyi frowned: "It's really unusual, do you want the gendarmes to come over and teach them a lesson?"
”"We are not doing good for the sake of grace!"
Quan Xu waved his hand and said: "The soldiers are just making trouble, in this ghost place of Japan, no matter what you do, you will not go too far, except for being a great benevolent person with a bodhisattva's heart!"
”Mao Yuanyi said with some concern: "But in this way, their temperament will be wild, will they honestly accept the transformation?"
”Quan Xu smiled disapprerovingly: "If you don't want to accept the transformation, then take them to fight, Luzon, Annam, Burma, there are more places to fight, and I'm afraid that there will be no place to place them?"
”At this time, a telegraph operator with a hurried expression ran over: "Master Hou, something happened!"
”"What's going on?
What went wrong?
”The telegraph man bowed and said, "Something happened in Manila!"
”Then, the telegraph operator told Quan Xu the telegram he had received.Although the main fleet of the whole family navy came to Tsushima Island, most of the fleet was still scattered in the vast seas.Lin Feng and the fortunate Chinese launched an attack on the port, robbed more than 50 ships of all sizes, and went to sea strongly, but the Spanish naval fleet was not vegetarian, and these 50 or so merchant ships were sunk by 28 Spanish warships in the process of escaping.Only more than 1,000 people such as Lin Feng successfully converged with the whole family army and navy, and the whole family army and navy did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported the situation to Quan Xu.Receiving this news, Quan Xu is also a little strange, in the history of the Philippines, there have been three large-scale massacres of China, the first time in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, fortunately, before the situation got out of control, Fujian officials led the fleet to the Philippines (originally wanted to find gold mines in the Philippines), led by the eunuch Gao Yu, who took away more than 3,000 people.As a result, when the massacre occurred, there were still 15,000 to 20,000 people who were killed overnight, and the second time should be the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when more than 50,000 people were slaughtered, but at that time, the Ming Dynasty was exhausted......
Quan Xu's face was gloomy and a little scary.I originally wanted to kill Japan, but I never thought that there would be such an accident.Mao Yuanyi reacted very calmly: "These Spaniards are too much!"
”Mao Yuanyi just thought that these Chinese were just outcasts of the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't go too deep.Quan Xu said lightly: "Now the plan changes!"
”With the order of the whole family, all the generals of the whole family army became serious."
The original plan was that after we occupied Tsushima Island, the Japanese troops in Korea would return, and our navy would intercept the Japanese navy in the Tsushima Strait, and then launch an attack on Iwami Province in the southwest of Honshu Island!"
Quan Xu said this: "The Japanese navy is too weak, and Yang Yandong can cope with it without the participation of the main battleships?"
”"The last general is guaranteed to complete the mission!""
Good!"
Quan Xu nodded slowly and said: "I will leave you the First Brigade and the Taiwan Task Force for the landing force, a total of more than 23,000 people, and we are taking the Iwami Silver Mountain in the shortest possible time!"
”"Yes!""
How to fight, I don't interfere with you, my goal is to take down Iwami Ginzan, and at the same time, support our daimyo and gain a firm foothold in Japan!"
Mao Yuanyi looked at Quan Xu and said, "Master Hou is going to Luzon?"
”"That's right!"
Quan Xu continued: "The two brigades of the Guards Brigade and the Marine Brigade, as well as the main fleet of eight Sea Shark Type 1, eight Sea Shark Type 2, and four submarine hunters, follow me to Manila, go down and prepare, replenish fresh water and food, and prepare to leave tomorrow!"
”At this moment, a staff officer smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, I'm afraid there is no way to replenish food here!"
”"No way?"
Quan Xu frowned: "What's the matter?"
”"Master Hou take a look for yourself, our whole family army has lost money for the first time!"
Quan Xu took the list of seizures, and he really couldn't smile bitterly.The seized property, saying that it is property, is a bit of a lift, the garbage is about the same, the bedding is tattered, and it turns into a pile of cotton wool when you tear it off.The so-called heirloom knife scabbard and handle are very gorgeously decorated, but when you pull it out, it is purely a rusty iron bar!
Unable to find anything valuable, the pirates were so anxious that they even lifted out the rice jar, but as soon as the cylinder lid was opened, there was immediately a musty smell coming to the face, and to eat this rice made of rice, how strong the heart of the Japanese samurai was, how strong the stomach was!
There are also those jars and jars, which contain pickles and dried radish, which must be the home cooking of Japanese samurai, and the dried radish has turned black, so soft that even an old woman who has lost her teeth can easily bite it, and it is estimated that this thing has been stored for a long time.When he opened the pickle jar again, a sour smell almost knocked him over, the white-flowered insects that were stirring among the rotting pickle leaves......
In desperation, Quan Xu had no choice but to ask Taiwan to prepare food and supplies for the expedition to Manila, and at the same time, the Second Marine Brigade in Taiwan and Ma Yinghu's headquarters were ready.This time to send troops to Manila, Quan Xu used six main brigades, including one infantry brigade, one guards brigade, two marine brigades, and two artillery brigades.As for the naval fleet, it is supplemented by sea sharks and hunted submarines
