The Japanese worship cherry blossoms, believing that life should be as short and brilliant as cherry blossoms, and the Ming army's gallows is now like this cherry blossom tree, swaying with violent shaking, and finally taking life away.

As the last few Western men and women hung on the torture rack and convulsed, and were taken out of their lives, the more than 5,000 Spaniards in Manila City were basically slaughtered, and the blood feud of tens of thousands of Ming descendants was also avenged.

The wind of the undead whistling in his ears seemed to be a little lighter.

However, this romantic revenge always has some unfinished feelings.

"Master of the Army! Those people are all little minions, these few people are the first evil, the first evil is not eliminated, how can we talk about revenge? Why do you ......?"

As soon as this came out of Fort San Philip, the Governor of Manila, the archbishop and several people immediately went into the cafeteria under the watch, even Cerita did not look like a lady anymore, picked up a fork and desperately pulled rice and canned food into their small mouths, these days, they are really hungry.

It's just that there is no mercy at all, Chen Xinghua, the commander of the first regiment in custody, is murderous, staring at them deadly, and turning back and asking in confusion.

It is also true that although it is said that Hades is easy to deal with little ghosts, the order to slaughter the Ming descendants was issued by the Governor and Councilor Archbishop in front of him, killing the little minions at the bottom, but letting them go, how can it feel a bit of putting the cart before the horse, just like killing an octopus, cutting off the claws, but throwing the most important head, and it won't be long before another one grows back.

With a cigar in his mouth and a smoke ring in his mouth, Huang Degong was obviously a little displeased, in the old Ming Corps, there were strict rules between the superiors and subordinates, and the subordinate officers could never question the orders of the commanders, but in the Dongjiang Army, the absolute majesty of the generals was deprived, and a large group of staff officers participated in the battle plan, not to mention, when the subordinates had doubts about the order, they also had the right to ask the commander to explain, which was written into the rules of the military law, which made Huang Degong very uncomfortable.

However, there is a bad side, there is still a good side, just when Huang Degong was displeased, a pleasant voice sounded beside him again, wearing a boat-shaped hat in spirit, holding the marching map in his arms, and Gu Moyi, the staff officer of the corps, explained with full temperament.

"This time His Highness issued a mission, it is indeed aimed at revenge, but revenge does not have to be to kill to achieve the goal, His Highness's meaning, control Luzon, beat the Spaniards out, this is the ultimate goal, to achieve this goal, then these people are still useful!"

"Guerrilla Chen, are you willing to do your duty for the great cause of the regent?"

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, the supreme glory!"

Mao Jue's personality cult is really strong enough, obviously he didn't explain anything, but this thing still fanatically stood up and saluted.

Seeing Gu Moyi looking back at himself and bowing slightly, with a little show-off and trembling long eyelashes, Huang Degong's mood couldn't help but get better, at first Mao Jue wanted to stuff a few girls into his corps, or serve as an officer, Huang Degong was a hundred unwilling, but now it seems that these girls are also a little useful, even if they are eye-catching, it is good.

However, the role of female staff officers is not as simple as eye-catching, and reconciling internal contradictions is trivial.

In the dark night, from the pile of dead people, several Spanish mercenaries who had been released from the water during the execution crawled out in fear, looked left and right like frightened birds, and then cautiously touched the edge of the cliff, and climbed down the steep cliff to escape.

In Western mythology, it was the beautiful Pandora who opened the magic box full of jealousy, resentment, fear, and anger, and let the cargo wreak havoc on the world.

I believe that after experiencing the betrayal of Ondolema and others for their own lives, these resentful deserters will not be able to trust their noble commanders as much as they did at the beginning!

Before the war starts, we must first break the morale of the other party! The way of the admiral!

…………

As the first colonial country to step into the sea in the Age of Discovery, the strength of the Spanish Empire should not be underestimated, especially the East Indies can be regarded as the core interests of the Spaniards, in addition to Manila, in the Philippines in later generations, the Spaniards also have eight large and small strongholds, controlling Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, large and small spice and fruit plantations, when the Dutch East India Company rose, it had tens of thousands of mercenaries, but in the huge East Indies, the Spanish Empire could organize tens of thousands of mercenaries, almost all the world's outlaws, adventurers, thieves, murderers, for the sake of wealth have gathered here.

It really came from all over the world, there were Indians from the New World, unpatriotic English pirates, Italian mercenary crossbowmen, Saxon spearmen and great swordsmen, Ottoman gunners, Arab Turkic cavalry, even Japanese ronins, and finally the rotten pirates of the Ming Dynasty.

If the massacre in Manila frightened everyone, the Ming immigrants and the seizure of the Spanish property threatened the interests of the plantation owners of the entire Philippine Islands.

In later generations, the Internet achieved a famous saying, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents! The interests are enough to support these early feudal manor owners to grit their teeth, their eyes are blood-red, and they press all their belongings one by one, and the men of the whole family take up arms and join the army, and these manor owners also mobilize the slaves in the manor and promise freedom.

A large number of black slaves were also incorporated into the army, giving the united army another color.

However, the largest number of people are still the local natives, and I have to admit that the strategy of the Western colonizers with muskets in one hand and the Bible in the other hand is still very vicious, and in the past, more than 20 tribes in the eight small kingdoms of Luzon all converted to Catholicism, and in the shouting of gods like Ondolma, a full 20,000 natives merged into the Spanish colonial army.

However, unexpectedly, in two months, the Spaniards in Luzon were desperately recruiting troops, but the Ming army was quietly in the summer, except for the only military operation in Manila, which was to take Fort San Philip, there was no positive action, and it seemed that guarding Manila had made Huang Degong satisfied.

This year, regardless of the maritime trade between the East and the West, was affected, the turmoil in the East Indies, forced the newly established East India Company to pay more attention to the Indochina Peninsula, inadvertently, Annam, Burma, Siam and other countries have been given unprecedented opportunities, at the same time, India, which was not too valued at the beginning, also entered the sight of the shareholders of the Hangzhou East India Company for the first time.

Wu Sangui's garrison of the East India Company's Calcutta stronghold ushered in its first spring.

The bells hanging from the sails of the sea ship jingled, and when they stood on the shore and looked out into the sea, a series of sails covered one side, and the dark-skinned, thin-skinned Indian natives hurriedly went down to carry the ship's packages under the shouting of the British merchants, and the originally empty storehouse was also filled little by little.

Standing on the newly repaired Kolkata fortress wall and pacing forward, the former Shanhaiguan soldiers also became a lot darker, but wearing leather slippers that follow the local customs and stepping on the hot wall and looking down, Wu Sangui still has a sense of accomplishment.

Originally, both sides of the Ganges estuary were a tattered sandy beach and muddy land, even if the local natives carried heavy cargo boxes, their thighs had to sink in, and unloading a shipload of goods not only made a mess, but also had to delay for two or three days.

On top of that, it doesn't look like a big port with potential for growth.

But now, when repairing the fortress of Calcutta, Wu Sangui took the opportunity to order the port to be expanded, now about one hundred and fifty meters on the south bank of the estuary, it is tiled with a thick layer of gravel as a foundation, paved with green bricks, and on the top is the cement plastered flat, a straight path leads straight to the Kolkata fortress built on the high ground near the mouth of the Ganges, although the port, the fortress specifications are not large, but at least a neat and tidy atmosphere is blowing in the face, and it looks like a sense of prosperity.

Standing on the cement port, the two East India Company shopkeepers who didn't know whether they were from Shanxi or Shaanxi stomped a few feet in surprise, looking at the praise on their faces, Wu Sangui couldn't help but smile.

Although Jiangnan has not been down, but has chosen here, his fate is tied to this subcontinent, the future fame and fortune have to be counted on this magical land of the three brothers, stay here for a year, for the Mughal Empire, Wu Sangui is now full of confidence, the land here is fertile, rich in products, even if its richness can not catch up with Jiangnan, it is not much worse, in Confucian words, that is the land of Wang Tu's hegemony!

However, with Wu Sangui now, it is simply impossible to set off waves in this land with an area similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to succeed, the only way is to get the attention of the maritime merchants who are now the ruling class of the Ming Empire, attract immigrants to come and live, and attract the East India Company to do business here, only the higher the income that Calcutta brings to the East India Company, the greater the capital that the company is already willing to invest in the regent, and the more resources he Wu Sangui can control.

When this stall is spread out to a large enough time, the company's interests and investment have reached the point where they can't stop, that is, he Wu Sangui's opportunity to establish a meritorious career!

When people are poor and white, it is often the most ambitious time, from the original Pingxibo, the general army of Shanhaiguan has now fallen to Calcutta to guard, and there are only about 100 soldiers in his hands, so it can be said that Wu Sangui has fallen to the lowest point.

Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity in front of him! Seeing that the cargo was almost unloaded, Wu Sangui immediately paced down the city wall, eagerly shouting and ordering.

"Prepare the car, prepare the gifts, this official will personally visit the Bangladesh Nawab!"
