In the city of Manila, the atmosphere is very eerie, like a dead city.

With the bloody suppression of the Spanish colonial army, there were pools of blackened blood everywhere in the corners and roadsides, and there were black blood stains dragging far on the ground, and the blood stains were mixed with some fragments of flesh and skin.

In the streets and alleys, you can see decomposed corpses lying horizontally waiting to be gathered, these corpses are both Chinese and indigenous.

In the middle of the day, the scorching sun shone directly into the city of Manila, and the corpses of maggots and flies gradually diffused with a putrid stench, which was disgusting to the point of breathlessness.

Fortunately, there are basically no people on the street anymore, whether they are Chinese or native, they are all hiding in their homes.

The surviving Chinese somehow heard the news of the Ming Emperor's southern tour, and they spread the word of mouth, and everyone who heard it was very excited and full of expectations, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could take Nanyang!

This news was like a bolt from the blue for the Spaniards and natives.

Hope for revenge suddenly ignited in the hearts of some Chinese, who were all Chinese whose homes had been looted, their shops burned, and their families killed, and they had nothing left.

Once people reach a point where revenge is the only hope, they will become dead!

With red eyes, they wandered the streets in teams, waiting for an opportunity to find the natives to provoke and take revenge.

For a while, the atmosphere in Manila City was tense to the extreme, and the air seemed to freeze.

Although the local aborigines hated the Chinese, they had just been suppressed by the Spanish colonial army, and they did not dare to go to the streets easily, so they could only watch these Chinese walk sideways.

There was an indigenous man who wanted to sneak out to grab something, but unfortunately he was surrounded by a group of Chinese people who were looking for revenge.

"You despicable black monkey, you dare to come out!"

A young Chinese man verbally insulted the indigenous man and began physical contact such as pushing and shoving.

His parents were innocently killed by this group of natives during the riot, and the family's shop was also ransacked, and finally burned down!

The indigenous man was obviously unconvinced, baring his teeth and shouting at the young Chinese, and even made a seemingly fierce and intimidating gesture.

"Inferior and greedy dogs, they dare to talk back and kneel down and kowtow to Lao Tzu!"

The young Chinese picked up the stick in his hand, smashed it on his head, and shouted and cursed.

Immediately afterwards, several surrounding Chinese also came to beat the indigenous and made him kneel down and kowtow.

Not far away, several Spanish colonial soldiers watched this scene silently, just like some time ago, when the aborigines beat the Chinese, they were indifferent.

Since the news of the Ming Emperor's arrival in Nanyang spread, the situation in the entire Luzon has undergone earth-shaking changes, the originally weak Chinese have become a strong side, and the local natives, who were previously arrogant and abnormal, have become the suppressed side.

This is the difference between a tiger leading a flock of sheep and a sheep leading a flock of tigers!

Of course, this is also due to the substantial actions taken by the Ming army!

In the Doge's Palace, Governor Salctor and Archbishop Arkenia were arguing, quarreling fiercely,

The archbishop mercilessly rebuked the governor for his incompetence and for the various maneuvers during this period, which made the governor's palace and the church very passive.

The Spanish Habsburgs regarded themselves as the protectors of Catholicism, and the Church had great influence in Spain and its colonies, and the archbishop was in no way inferior to the governor in Luzon.

The Governor's powers were limited to the city of Manila and the surrounding area, and he had the power to mobilize Spanish colonial troops.

The archbishop controls the tribal villages and communities at the grassroots level in Luzon, and the priests sent by the church to the indigenous tribes are the civil officials at the grassroots level, who have the power to collect taxes, judge, punish, and execute the indigenous people.

In the revolt, the indigenous people were largely instigated by the missionaries.

Now that the Ming army controls most of the Spanish colonies outside of Manila, which means that they have encroached on the Church's sphere of influence, how can Akenia, as the archbishop, not be angry?

The governor Salcto could not refute, but he was not willing to be reprimanded like a grandson, and the two became more and more stiff as they quarreled, almost pointing their noses and scolding each other.

At this moment, the guards of the Governor's Palace came in to report that the Ming Emperor had sent an envoy.

The two immediately stopped arguing, and were able to mix into the position of governor and archbishop of the division, and they would never be incompetent, and the two could still be consistent with each other.

A moment later, a former general in a python robe pressed his sword and walked into the living room of the governor's palace.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered the Spanish Governor's Palace in Manila to report the specific number of casualties among the Chinese in the riots in Manila within three days.

After speaking, he swaggered around and left without saying a word, regardless of whether the interpreter was present or not, whether the two Western monkeys in the hall could understand it.

After the old butler's word-for-word translation, Governor Salctor's face turned pale.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty went too far, and even called his dignified governor as a servant!

The archbishop next to him didn't look good, this Ming Emperor was even more domineering than rumored, even if it was the Pope's crown, he wouldn't dare to fight and kill so strongly!

Both of them felt a lot of pressure, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will not be good!

.......

Zhu Cihong's royal drive was at Fort San Diego, the ancient royal city of the Philippines, known as the "Holy Land of Freedom".

Fort Santiago is the name of the first Spanish governor, the same guy who converted the walled city with a wooden fence into a stone castle with a moat, a tower on a ten-meter-thick wall, and a turret frame.

This castle, which served the Spanish colonial army a lot, ruthlessly served as a defensive position for the colonial rulers.

However, a few years ago, there was a major earthquake here, and the fortress was almost abandoned, and the Spaniards did not have time to repair it.

This is also why the Ming army approached the city, and the Spanish army retreated without firing a shot, because it couldn't hold it at all!

The result of forcibly defending the city can only be slaughtered by the Ming army! The ashes are all raised for you!

In the city, Zhu lived in a Chinese-owned restaurant.

Chinese has a deep accomplishment in food, and there are many Chinese people who open restaurants in Nanyang, and this one is the most upscale.

During the riots, most of the Chinese restaurants were looted and some burned, but this restaurant was relatively least damaged.

The wife and daughter of the restaurant shopkeeper were killed in the riots, and he survived by going to the Daming trading point to buy goods.

Emperor Daming stationed in the restaurant, so that the shopkeeper felt very honored, he wanted to serve the Son of Heaven in person, but was politely stopped by the eunuchs.

After briefly finishing lunch, Zhu Cihong summoned King Ding and King Tang to learn about the situation in Luzon and the development of the situation.
