Sir Albert did not leave, but said slowly: "Now no one in Manila should know the news of our robbery, I will take these galleons to help you infiltrate Manila, where there are more than 4,000 soldiers and several warships of the navy, and some batteries."

I asked Captain Edwin, and he told me that you were very strong, and that I knew that you had defeated the English pirates and taken this precarious island. So I think you should be able to take Manila. ”

After listening to Albert's words, Qiao Haipeng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Why should we believe you." And then there's ...... What do you want by doing this? ”

Albert thought for a moment, then said calmly, "I hope to be hired by you, I have been a sheriff for a few years, and I have done some other jobs. I don't ask for much, as long as I can have a place for monks. ”

Qiao Haipeng nodded and said with a smile: "You go down and rest first, and we will consider your opinion." ”

Seeing Albert away, Qiao Haipeng lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Old Lu, I'm so tempted, how credible can you say about that foreign devil?" ”

Lu Gambo laughed and said, "He shouldn't be lying, and he won't dare to talk nonsense with us if he has the guts." If you think about it, it's not as simple as capturing a few sailing ships at sea. In the event of a business trip, our entire fleet may have to be hit. ”

Qiao Haipeng patted his thigh and said, "If I knew this, I would have brought Song Tao." With that kid's special combat team, what are we worried about? Now we have only 200 Japanese daredevils in our hands. Also because of casualties and disservice. Do you know? The Spanish colonists have massacred the Chinese four times in history, and even if I don't go this time, I will go to Manila sooner or later. Alas...... But we don't have anybody. ”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head sharply and said, "No, who said that we don't have anyone, aren't the more than a thousand pirates on this island just human." Ha ha...... Old way, this thing is done! ”

Lu Gambo was stunned for a moment, and he said in disbelief: "Old Joe, you really dare to think about it." We just killed their boss, and you use their men. Why do I think this is so unreliable? ”

Qiao Haipeng smiled: "What's unreliable. I know. Last time we acted, we were passive everywhere. The complex environment at sea limits the use of modern weapons. And because of Li Shaojie's rashness, it caused relatively large casualties. But this time is different, this time it is a landing operation, and we can give full play to the advantages of our modern weapons. And there are more than a thousand pirates as cannon fodder for us. It's a big deal, the wind is blowing. I don't believe anyone can stop us. ”

was told by Qiao Haipeng that Lu Ganbo was also moved. But because the last action didn't go well, they had to discuss it with everyone. The two immediately called a meeting.

When everyone had arrived, it was up to Lugumbo to brief everyone on the situation that Sir Albert had recounted. Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gambo originally thought that the last operation was not going well, and everyone would have concerns about this operation.

But I didn't expect that Lu Gamble had just finished introducing the situation, and the next thing was to boil. The officers and men of the Admiralty were extremely excited. The last time we were on a mission, we were constrained in one way or another on the rough sea, and this battle was extremely humiliating. did not give full play to the advantages of modern weapons at all, coupled with all kinds of accidents, a group of modern people were actually pressed and beaten by a group of natives in the 17th century.

Who can swallow this breath, everyone is holding back an evil fire in their hearts and has nowhere to vent it, if they don't fight happily and vent everyone's feelings, these people can hold back their illness when they go back.

Zhou Cheng was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Commander, we all listen to you." This time it's not at sea, the modern weapons in our hands have obvious advantages, and there is that foreign devil to find a way for us, there is no reason why we can't take Manila. Besides, the more than 1,000 pirates on the island are now crying and shouting to join the gang, haha...... We even have cannon fodder. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone also spoke, saying that they must take Manila. Defeat the Spanish colonists and return the people of Luzon to a sunny day.

Qiao Haipeng stood up and waved his hand, which calmed down a group of passionate Admiralty officers and soldiers. He looked at everyone, and then said solemnly: "Time always makes us ignore something, like Manila that we are about to attack. Historically, the Spanish colonizers had carried out four inhumane massacres of the Chinese in Manila.

The first occurred in 1603, when the number of Chinese killed was 25,000 according to the History of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Fujian was estimated at 30,000, and the Spanish colonists estimated at 23,000.

The second occurred in 1639, when 22,000-24,000 Chinese were killed. Many of the fish in the surrounding rivers eat human flesh to gain weight, so people in the vicinity did not even dare to eat fish for many years.

The third occurred in 1662, when no less than 25,000 overseas Chinese were killed. The original intention of the Spaniards was to kill every Chinese. However, this intention was abandoned due to the inconvenience of the lack of vendors and craftsmen. Finally, in the name of the King of Spain, he mercifully declared that he would pardon the man who had laid down his arms.

The fourth occurred in 1762, when nearly 20,000 overseas Chinese were killed. The Spanish colonists issued an order to kill every Chinese they could find. They brutally tied the braids of 10~15 people together, tied them with stones, threw them into the Haihe River, and drowned them alive. ”

After Qiao Haipeng finished speaking, there was silence below, everyone's breathing became short, and their eyes were red. These truths, which have been buried deep in history, are rarely mentioned now.

"When the first massacre took place, the Spanish colonists feared retaliation from the Ming government. Fidgeting every day, the morale of the army was low, and the rations were insufficient. Manila is shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and depression. A group of wealthy people who are pessimistic about their future leave Manila and move their families to Mexico.

However, the authorities of the Ming Dynasty have always regarded overseas Chinese who emigrated abroad as untouchables, and after they learned the truth of the incident, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty at that time only wrote an "Edict to Lu Song", which did not further investigate the massacre, but only demanded that the Spanish colonists guarantee the safety of overseas Chinese lives and property in the future, and declared that they "could not bear to punish the colonizers" and "their overseas murders will not be exhausted", and demanded that the Spanish side "think of the emperor's great grace and the great benevolence and righteousness of China."

Tens of thousands of compatriots were brutally slaughtered by the Spanish colonizers, but they only received such an explanation. The connivance of the Ming Dynasty authorities emboldened the Spanish colonists to oppress the Chinese, so the next three massacres occurred. ”

After Qiao Haipeng finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and his voice became deeper and lower: "Since we have returned to this era, we must let all the sufferings imposed on our nation be returned to them a thousand times over." Start now in Manila, blood for blood, violence against violence, and blood in Manila! ”

The officers and men of the Admiralty below all stared at the red eyes and shouted in unison: "Blood for blood, violence for violence, blood for Manila!" ”

Their voices weren't loud, but they were deep and powerful. The aura of anger spread everywhere, and a sense of grief and indignation permeated all the officers and men of the Admiralty.

Next, everyone studied most of the night and made a careful plan. Because of the various changes encountered in the last operation, this time many factors were taken into account, and the plan was extremely meticulous.

The next day, Qiao Haipeng and Lu Gamble went to the place where the pirates were being held. When a group of pirates saw Qiao Haipeng, they all knelt down. Qiao Haipeng walked back and forth in front of them a few times, and then said coldly: "I originally wanted you to work as coolies with those Spaniards, but considering that you are all Chinese of the same language as us, I will give you a chance." If you want to join, we can, but if you want to join, according to you pirates, you must have a petition. ”

After listening to Qiao Haipeng's words, everyone immediately sighed, it seems that this time it has come to an end. He Wu, who was kneeling in the front row, shouted loudly: "Boss, what do you want, just say a word to your brothers, we have been fighting at sea for many years, and there are no bad people who are afraid of death, all of us are good men." ”

When Qiao Haipeng heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Good...... I'm not wrong about you, you are all men who want to be be. As for what I want, I can also tell you that I want Manila. ”

When He Wu heard this, his eyes suddenly turned black, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Big brother, you want us to die, just our people, it's not enough to go to Manila. There were fortified cities and sharp cannons, four or five thousand Francois soldiers, and there were several forts alone, and before they could attack the city, the people would die.

Qiao Haipeng looked at the group of pirates and was frightened, and immediately laughed and said, "Look at what scared you, I won't let you die, haha...... We are ready to take Manila this time, avenge the Chinese brothers and sisters who died more than ten years ago, return blood for blood, fight violence with violence, and wash Manila with blood! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qiao Haipeng's words fell, the pirates below were suddenly silent, but what followed was a howl and crying, and hundreds of pirates "bang...... "Knock ......" to the ground and kowtow desperately.

He Wu, who was kneeling in front of him, hurriedly explained: "In charge, some of our brothers here escaped from Manila back then, and some of our relatives died in Manila. Not to mention anything else, the brothers have long wanted to fight with those Francs, but we are not strong enough, and Manila is really unable to gnaw. Since the boss wants to fight Manila, rest assured, this time our brothers will definitely rush to the front, desperately trying to take Manila and kill all the Francos. (To be continued......) R1292
