Four hundred and seventy tribal union
Just as Xiao Ruxun expected, the natives of the Philippine Island went completely crazy after the surviving sailors brought the news back to their respective tribes.
More than a dozen tribes that were extremely suppressed immediately united with each other, dispatched all the young and strong and even some old people, holding torches and clubs, knives and guns, and marched at full speed towards Manila.
When the tribes allied with the Spaniards learned of this, they quickly united, and after a short meeting, they made the decision to send troops to help defend Manila and try to protect the Spaniards.
Once the Spaniards were completely defeated, the anger of those long-suppressed tribes was terrifying.
The Spaniards were colonizers, but they were also their unions, who had been shielding them from disasters for a long time, and they also used this to suck the blood of those tribes to nourish their tribes and make their tribes fatter and stronger.
Once the Spaniards are finished and there is no one to stop the disaster, what will happen to them, does it need to be said?
Therefore, it is the best policy to keep the Spaniards, not to let the Spaniards finish, and to keep them from disasters.
As for whether the Spaniards are still willing to coexist with them after they have developed to the end and have the technological power that can swallow them, what is the nature of the colonizers, is no longer within the scope of these people's thinking.
Most people can only see what is in front of them, and they can only think about what is in front of them, because it is very difficult to live past them.
Just like in the late Southern Song Dynasty, before the joint destruction of Jin with Mongolia, some people proposed not to unite with Mongolia to destroy Jin, but to unite with Jin to resist Mongolia, support Jin, and let Jin always prevent disasters for Song and confront the Mongols head-on, which is actually exactly the same as the situation proposed by some people to unite Liao against Jin before the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.
But why didn't the Northern Song Dynasty accept the United Liao State, and the Southern Song Dynasty didn't accept the United Jin State, and the last one was destroyed?
The Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin, that is a deep feud in the sea of blood, a feud, and the hatred of the Liao is not as complete as the hatred with the Jin is unacceptable, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin, that is a non-existent option, some hatred, there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, only one party is destroyed can be solved.
This is true of the Han Chinese, the same is true of the Filipinos, the Americans, the British, the Irish, the Arabs, the Spaniards, the Catalans, who is not so?
The suppressed Indigenous United Filipino Army was the first to arrive in Manila, and they hurried overnight, and the vanguard of the Combine arrived outside Manila just after dawn the next morning.
At this moment, Manila is already a dead empty city, outside the city is a mess, a mess, a lot of discarded things, and a lot of headless corpses.
After inspection, these headless corpses were determined to be the corpses of Spaniards, which proved that the Ming army had come, and the vanguard troops carefully touched the inside of Manila, and after making sure that there were no people and nothing inside, they knew that everything here had been taken away by the Ming army, and they were quite disappointed.
It was noon when the large forces of the Combine arrived.
The leader of the vanguard was a young leader of a small tribe, Ano, who led more than 500 of his young Zhuang people as the vanguard, and his father was killed by the people of the rival tribe and the Spaniards, and the fire of hatred in his heart was not extinguished for a day.
The head of the Coalition was a respectable tribal old man who had fought against the first Spanish colonists forty years ago, and now he was almost seventy years old, and he still hated the Spaniards so much that he refused to cooperate with them, so that the tribes with whom he was better were suppressed.
Despite this, he hated the Spaniards so much, claiming that he had lived until now to wait for the Spaniards to decline, and for them to regain their land and homeland, and now that he had finally arrived, he was so excited that he rushed to Manila with his men to defeat the Spaniards himself and kill them with his own hands.
Unfortunately, Manila is empty.
Ano met with the old man of the tribe and explained to him what he had discovered when he arrived.
"Are you saying that since you came, no one has been left alive here, and the whole city is empty, nothing?"
The old man of the tribe was very surprised.
"Yes, there is no one here, I have not found anything except these headless corpses, all the houses and castles we have inspected, they are empty, not even a stool, not a single complete garment can be found.
So according to the previous information, we think that General Xiao of the Ming Kingdom came here, defeated the Spaniards, and then took all the prisoners of war and booty with him, and left, I have sent someone to the port to find out the news, and I will get the news soon. ”
Ano reported to the old man of the tribe very respectfully.
The old man of the tribe nodded a little hesitantly, and then took a group of tribal leaders into Manila to inspect it personally, and walked around the entire Manila, inspected every house and warehouse he saw, and even sent people to find underground space, but found nothing, some basements were found, but they were also empty.
Nothing.
This couldn't help but make the old man of the tribe a little disappointed, he also thought that he could get some guns and weapons left by the Spaniards to arm his men and horses, and he hoped to get some gold, silver, treasures and food left by the Spaniards, which could be regarded as making up for the losses of himself and so many tribes over the years.
Everyone is being squeezed very badly, very badly.
But to get nothing, it's so unsatisfying, it's so uncomfortable.
The old man of the tribe had no choice but to leave the empty city, and was about to order the burning of the city of shame when Ano's spies came.
"We found a flag in the port, the logo on this flag is the logo of the Ming Kingdom, and there are many traces of human activity in the port wharf, it should be that General Xiao of the Ming Kingdom led the troops to defeat the Spaniards, and then took everything away, and now there are no Spaniards on our land."
The people of the tribe were either relieved, disappointed, or dissatisfied, but in the end they were somewhat happy.
Because the enemy who oppressed them for decades no longer exists, and the Ming people who defeated them are obviously not interested in the Philippines, they are gone, pat their butts and leave, leaving them with a complete land, which is something to be happy about, where there is land, there is hope, there is hope, there is a future, and everyone does not have to be too sad.
And there's more important things to do after that!
The traitors who helped the Spaniards to entrap their own countrymen, because a little personal grudge destroyed many tribes, they must be judged!
