From the time the natives stormed the city to the time the natives were driven out, the Governor of Manila, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, who sat on top of the Manila Castle, watched the one-sided massacre from beginning to end with telescopes. When he saw that the natives had left more than 2,000 corpses behind and retreated from the Han area of Manila, the governor put down his binoculars.

"It's horrible!" The Governor of Manila exclaimed, "The muskets of the Ming people can be fired continuously!" Hordes of natives stormed the city, and so many people were knocked out at once! ”

The priest who also watched the massacre with a telescope next to him said: "That's the thunderbolt of the Ming people!" I know that this kind of firearm is a dozen barrels combined on a shield, which can be ignited and fired in turn. However, this weapon is very cumbersome to reload, and it takes several minutes to reload after firing. The Han Chinese in Manila probably used a 100-barrel Thunderbolt, which was a 100-barrel gun placed on a wooden plank, and after firing, it took at least an hour to reload. Moreover, this weapon is too heavy, consumes materials and has poor accuracy. ”

"How do you know this, Father, honorable?" asked the Governor of Manila.

The priest replied: "I also heard from our peers that the Ming Dynasty originally had a thunderbolt. After Wang Yu established the Nanyang Company, he improved this weapon and built a hundred-tube thunderbolt cart, which was used to deal with cavalry, and the wooden planks used to place the barrel of the gun on the cart were also used to defend against bows and arrows. But that kind of weapon is too cumbersome to load, too heavy, and wastes so many barrels. ”

The Spaniards did not know at all that the Ming army was already equipped with a new weapon such as a machine gun!

"This weapon is really powerful in close combat, not to mention the bombs they can drop," said the Governor. ”

"In fact, it is not the weapons that the Han people are capable of, but their tactics! They renovated every building in the city, and every building turned into a castle! Because they have something new like cement. The priest said.

The governor of Manila said: "I have also heard that in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, many novelties were born, they have a kind of car that can walk on the track without horse-pulling, and there is also a boat that also does not need sails and manpower, it is said that it is a steam engine, which uses a coal furnace to boil water and produce steam to drive the car and the ship." ”

"That's a formidable enemy! Fortunately, we did not come out to deal with the Han people ourselves, but used indigenous people to deal with the Han people. If their army does come, we'll be left cowering in the castle. They already have battleships of the second rank and have the most powerful fleet in the East! The priest nodded.

The Governor sneered: "We are in the Manila Castle, there is plenty of food, not to mention that we still have impregnable batteries and powerful cannons outside the port, if they want to attack Manila, they can only waste food and ammunition in vain, but they can't even enter the port of Manila!" ”

"If they cut us off, wouldn't that trap us inside?" The priest asked worriedly.

Du Du said: "If they want to block us, then let them block it!" Blockade until next year, they can't do anything to us! When it comes to the summer typhoon season, they still dare to be arrogant in the outer harbor? ”

A Spanish soldier ran outside: "Report to the Governor, report to the priest!" The natives were defeated, and they did not dare to attack the city anymore. ”

The governor said, "Tell them that we can give them more silver, wine, cloth, grain, and iron." That's what they need! As long as they invade the Han area and kill all the Han people who resist, the Han women inside will be rewarded to them! And the good things of the Han people are all given to them! ”

"Yes!" The soldier retreated.

When the king heard the Spanish soldiers speak of his condition, one of the kings said: "If all our men are dead, what is the use of asking for silver and good things?" If you catch a woman, no one can enjoy it! ”

Because the Spanish colonizers and the local Han Chinese, the natives near Manila also traded with them many times, and they knew that silver was a currency that could buy all kinds of good things.

Another earth king said: "Let's attack again, maybe we will get in!" Just kill those hateful convoys, the wealth of the Manila Han and their women are ours! The Han people in Manila are very rich! We went in to get what was our own! ”

"Then let's attack again!" Several other earth kings chimed in.

One of the earth kings turned to the Spanish soldiers: "The timid and cowardly Han Chinese are cowering in the building, and they have transformed it into a castle!" In the Chinese area of Manila, there are thousands of these buildings, that is, thousands of castles, how much blood does we need to shed if we want to break their turtle shells, can you help us with a few cannons? ”

The Spanish soldier said: "We have already assisted you with muskets, and if you want to help the artillery, you need our lordship's consent." ”

Tuwang said: "Then you can go back and ask for instructions, saying that we need cannons." ”

The soldiers went back to report to the governor, and after listening to the proposal made by the king of the earth, the governor of Spain snorted coldly: "They still want cannons?" Even if these barbarian cannons are given, will they use them? ”

"We can use our soldiers, disguised as natives, and carry cannons to help the natives," said the priest. Otherwise, these damn Han Chinese, they turned every building into a castle, and it would be very difficult for the natives to overcome. And although their buildings have been remodeled, they are not real castles after all, and they can be broken by bombarding them with cannons. ”

"Okay, then send a hundred soldiers, bring eight six-pounder guns, and blast them in little by little. Damn it, just because the Han area in Manila is not within the range of our castle cannons, otherwise I would really like to fire a few shots at the Han area. The governor nodded and agreed to the priest's proposal.

In the Manila Han area, the guards were inspecting their weapons, the machine gunner in charge of the machine gun was wiping his gun, and there were twenty-two spare barrels on the ground next to the machine gun. After all, the steel technology of this era is still not very good, the barrel life is short, and the barrel must be replaced after firing hundreds of rounds from one barrel.

Liu Qi picked up the binoculars and looked at the black and oppressive indigenous army not far away, and he found that more and more indigenous people had gathered over, and the number had reached more than 20,000, and there were still indigenous people coming one after another.

"Good guys!" Liu Qi put down the binoculars, "I don't know how many more natives will come!" It seems that they are going to consume our bullets with numbers! ”

"If the natives gather again, we really won't have enough bullets." A warrior said.
