Chapter 858: Luzon (7)
Gao Yang's eyes fluctuated, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer. ◇↓頂◇↓Point◇↓Small◇↓ said,
Standing up leisurely, gently shaking the crystal clear wine glass in his hand, he slowly walked in front of General Negre, who was trying his best to maintain his aristocratic demeanor.
A look of indifference and indifference flashed in his eyes, his eyelids lowered slightly, and he said indifferently, "I don't think you are worth only eight hundred gold escudos." I think you're worth at least twenty years of working in the mines! ”
Ignoring Negre's horrified face and trembling lips. Gao Yang smiled and raised his hand to pinch Negre's sturdy arm, smacked his lips, nodded with a chuckle, and then said, "This physique, the mine likes people like you the most." ”
"You can't do that! I am a noble nobleman, and I can't do such a lowly thing! I demand to be treated as a nobleman! Negre's face turned red, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Gao Yang and shouted loudly!
Seeing that the excited Spaniards began to be restless in front of the national teacher, the surrounding guards who could not understand Spanish immediately reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife around their waists, and surrounded them with a step.
Gao Yang casually waved his hand to let the guards retreat, raised his wine glass and took a sip. Looking at the aristocratic gentleman with an excited expression, he smiled, turned back to the table, picked up a new glass, poured a new glass of whiskey, and then handed it to General Negre, who was panting heavily.
"Did any of you Spaniards tell you when you conquer other peoples in all parts of the world, rob them of their wealth, and take their lives at will, that they are also nobles, and that they have to pay for their lives?" Gao Yang's slightly muffled voice made General Negre's body tremble suddenly.
Biting his lip, Negre, whose face was extremely ugly, raised his hand to drain the wine from the glass. A spicy smell rushed to his head, and His Excellency the Major General immediately coughed loudly.
"You see, since you can torture others like piglets. Then others can do the same to you. Gao Yang spread his hands, narrowed his eyes, and his voice gradually turned cold, "No one is born more noble than others!" No one is born to be inferior! And also. Our Chinese nation is the descendant of the dragon, not some yellow-skinned monkey! You have done something before, and I don't need to say it, you should know it very well in your heart. We're here to get revenge! ”
"Smack!" Negre, who looked terrified, trembled his hands, and the crystal clear wine glass in his hand, which was priceless in this era, suddenly fell to the ground and shattered. He finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Of course he knew what the Spaniards had done around the world. He knew better what they had done to those Ming people in the Philippines! Now, the army from his hometown is coming, what else can he say?
Negre closed his eyes in pain. He knew that this time was over. His aristocracy, in this far east, is useless in the face of these infidels! Perhaps, he is really going to die in an unknown mine.
"Alright, Mr. Noble." Gao Yang's tone turned back to mildness. With a friendly smile on his face. Raising his hand to arrange Negre's clothes, he comforted him and said, "When you get to the mine, you must do things well, don't make trouble, and don't make trouble." Although there is a shortage of manpower there, it has always been merciless for troublemakers and sabotage. You know, it's a cautionary tale. That way you can live a little longer. ”
Taking a step back and looking at the neat and tidy aristocratic gentleman with satisfaction, Gao Yang nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead and do it, you can be free after twenty years." I've always been a man of my word. As long as you can live there for twenty years. ”
In this era, doing heavy physical work in a place like a mine is completely exchanging human lives for ore!
......
Francisco. Emene Hildo. Coqueira was the twenty-second Governor General of the Philippines. He has been Governor for more than ten years since he became Governor in June 1635.
Originally, Governor Coqueira was about to step down last year. But the sailing ship on which Viscount Cassandra, who had come to take his place, had not been heard from since it left Seville. No one knows if the Viscount has been confronted by a murderous pirate or swallowed by the stormy waves. No one knows where he is anyway.
For the position of the new governor of the Philippines, the aristocratic ministers on the side of Madrid tore it apart. Until now, it has not been conclusively confirmed who will replace him. During this period of time, Governor Coqueira continued to exercise the powers of the Governor in the Philippine Islands.
A few days ago, he had already dressed up and was going to the port of Krabi to meet the two treasure ships. But when they were halfway there, they received news that a powerful fleet was attacking the port of Krabi.
The Governor of Coquela quickly returned to the Manila Castle. Mobilize the army and reserve supplies. At the same time, people were sent to the port of Krabi to inquire about the news.
It's not a big deal either. Since Magellan discovered the Philippines. Since the establishment of Spanish rule here. I don't know how many nations and pirates have come to attack here, and the mighty Spanish Empire repelled all enemies with bad intentions. This time will be no exception!
Then, he received a report of the enemy situation from Admiral Negre.
Governor Coquela didn't expect that this time it was actually the Ming Navy that swept away the Dutch and the Portuguese in the port of Macao some time ago!
"Is that old country crazy? Do they think of the great Spanish Empire as a hillbilly like the Dutch and the Portuguese?! "Governor Coquilla couldn't understand how the Ming army would go so far to the Philippines to attack the Spanish Empire!
Filled with anger, the Governor returned to his luxurious residence and began to write. He will report this to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Great King, please send me four thousand to six thousand soldiers, preferably veterans who have been to Flanders. Equip them with enough spears and muskets, ships, cannons, and the required ammunition. An additional reserve of 2,000 to 3,000 men would be enough to capture an important province in the El Dorado. After that, you can use the ports and local natives and ships there, and it will only take two years to form the largest maritime power, which is a very easy thing to do. After conquering one province of El Dorado, it is enough to conquer the whole of China. Country! (This is in the conquest submitted by the third Governor of the Philippines, Count Sandy, to King Philip II of Spain.) State report. Borrow it here. )
When he had finished writing the letter, the gray-haired Viceroy stamped it with a fire stamp, and prepared to return to Madrid by clipper when Negre had sent all the tattered fishing boats of the yellow-skinned monkeys to the bottom of the sea.
In the eyes of Mr. Doge, the great, invincible Spanish Empire was invincible!
This is in the extremely ridiculous conquest in Gao Yang's eyes. The battle plan of the country. In this day and age, however, it was taken for granted by the Spaniards.
The reason is simple, at the beginning of the 16th century, the Spanish aristocrat and law student Hernan. With only a few hundred men, a few small cannons, a dozen flintlock muskets, and a dozen horses, Cortés used force and deception to conquer the Mexican Aztec Empire, with a population of millions!
And the illiterate and adventurer Francisco. Pizarro was even more powerful, he conquered the Peruvian Inca Empire with only a small army of one hundred and sixty men!
These miraculous victories and the huge gains that came with them drove the whole of Spain crazy. They are arrogant to the extreme, believing that there is no one in the world who is no match for them. They are a global empire that rules the world! Therefore, this conquest is presented in the eyes of modern people in an extremely ridiculous way. The plan of the state was no joke for them.
It is worthy of Don Quixote's hometown. These spaniards, who had been carried away, were now going to learn a bloody lesson. Gao Yang will continue to slap them left and right until they are completely sober!
"Anyway. Gibraltar must be occupied! "This is the first step set by Gao Yang to colonize Europe! While Mr. Governor was still dreaming, Gao Yang was already determined to remove the most important bone from the Spaniards!
While the Governor sat in his luxurious residence and waited for the good news from the fleet, a letter from Admiral Negre arrived.
Then, the nightmare began.
......
The sun is setting in the west, and the glow is dim.
As time passed, the vast sky gradually turned into a desolate blue.
Big-bellied, gray-haired, and dark-skinned from years of living near the equator, Governor Coquela stood on the walls of Manila's castle and looked up at the enchanting blue sky. But my heart was full of condensation and pain. With the turn of his eyes, he no longer had the high-spirited look he had when he wrote to His Majesty the King a few days ago.
After seeing Admiral Negre's letter of request for help, Mr. Governor immediately began to mobilize his troops and prepare supplies. And in the afternoon of the next day, the support troops were sent out as quickly as possible.
However, to the complete unacceptability of Mr. Governor, the battle was over before the hastily dispatched reinforcements had time to arrive on the battlefield!
It was not the Spanish army that easily defeated the incoming invading ones. People. Rather, the mighty and invincible Spanish army was wiped out!
All the batteries were captured, and the remnants of the fleet surrendered under the white flag. When he received the news, Mr. Governor almost fainted.
He didn't think that those Ming armies were so strong in combat! How long has it been since a powerful enemy ship and a battery guarded by hundreds of people have all fallen?!
However. But the truth did not allow him not to believe it.
Last night, a Spanish Navy ensign was released. He also brought a letter of surrender from the commander of the Ming army.
The content of the letter was simple, it was to ask him to surrender unconditionally. In addition, the commander of the Ming army also threatened him that if he dared to harm the Ming people in Manila, then he would definitely take cruel and bloody revenge on all the Spaniards!
If this letter of surrender had come a few days earlier, Governor Coquela would have thrown it away with disdain. It will even take the initiative to ask those who live in Manila. The Chinese people started.
It's just that now he's scared. (To be continued.) )
