Chapter 1035: The Luzon Bloody Case

There were not many white people in the South Seas, and the generation of Malacca, Banten, and Java were Portuguese, and Luzon was Spanish. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For the Portuguese and Spaniards, the unified name in the Ming Dynasty is the Francois people, but some people call Spain Greater Luzon, and the acquisition is the meaning of Little Luzon in the South Seas.

The Jesuit priests who preached in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the merchants who did business, were mainly Portuguese, not to mention in Macao, Guangdong, where the Portuguese still had a small stronghold, although the Cantonese magistrates also had full law enforcement power in Macau.

The Portuguese have such and such contacts in the Ming Dynasty, and their interests are also entangled, so they have always maintained a friendly attitude towards the Ming and the Han people, of course, this is also the result of several self-defeating invasions that were attacked by the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the Portuguese, the ultra-conservative Spaniards were much more barbaric, although Spain was in decline in Europe in this era, but the discovery of the Americas, the conquest of the Inca Empire, the colonies in Africa, Asia and the Americas, these victories and glory, coupled with their extreme belief in Catholicism in their country, made the Spaniards extremely arrogant and proud, self-righteous God's chosen people, the noblest race in the world, speaking of, The Portuguese achieved similar results in great voyages and colonization as the Spaniards, but they were much more pragmatic.

As for Portugal and Spain, the division of the world equally under the auspices of the Holy See makes the Spaniards feel that they are the kings of the world.

Around the seventh year of Wanli, Spain and Portugal merged, but the Portuguese did not approve of this merger, they still did their own thing, but the Spaniards were even more inflated because of this.

Arrogance and arrogance, as well as extreme religious beliefs (the bastard Inquisition only existed in Spain and Rome at the time), the Spaniards hated the more civilized Ming and atheistic Han Chinese, and coveted the Ming as a place of wealth for a long time.

The Spanish governor once wrote to the country, saying that he would be able to conquer China by giving him 20,000 soldiers, which shows how arrogant they were.

However, despite arrogance and extreme hatred, the development of Luzon still cannot count on the local natives who are lazy and not much stronger than monkeys, and still need industrious Han Chinese.

More and more Han Chinese went to Luzon, forming villages and towns, developing a large number of fertile fields and orchards for planting fruit trees, so that all kinds of Ming goods enriched the local market, and also made the local Spaniards extremely poor and rich, according to a letter from a priest, "the most humble soldiers here can also compare with the landlords on the outskirts of Madrid, and even surpass some of the lower nobles in terms of food and clothing."

They got such benefits from the Han people, but when the Han people increased, the local Spaniards were afraid, they felt that the Han people would compete with them for this colony, and they would drive them out, and besides, the Han people had enough wealth in their hands, and the Spaniards regarded them as ripe fruits, and it was time to pick and harvest, and the two reasons were more than the latter.

God is pitiful, the kind and simple Han people have crossed the ocean to Luzon, there is a place to live, there are means to support themselves, it is already thankful, how can there be any other thoughts, they think that they can keep their own peace by staying here, and there are people who have sharpened their knives.

At first, there were constant conflicts between the indigenous people and the villages in Luzon, and the local Han people swallowed their anger and did not dare to fight with them, and even scraped together money to send people to Manila to ask Spanish officials to mediate.

However, the Spaniards did not pay any attention to it, but instead issued a decree saying that such a conflict was caused by the courage and ruthlessness of the Han Chinese, so they should confiscate the weapons of the Han Chinese and allow the natives to defend themselves.

The natives who are lazy and lazy see the Han people getting rich day by day, and they do not think that it is because of the Han people's diligence and thrift, but they are jealous that they have robbed them of their wealth and territory, and they become even more rampant when they have such indulgence.

There are many people in the Turen, but they are really very wasteful, and in front of the Han people who protect their homeland, they can't take much advantage, but they are frustrated everywhere.

At this time, the Spaniards struck, and here in Luzon, the Spaniards had only more than 1,900 men, of which about 1,200 were soldiers, and if you count those who could fight, it could reach almost 1,800.

Don't underestimate these 1,800 people, the Spanish infantry of this era is known as the strongest infantry in Europe, and the large phalanx of muskets and spears is derived from Spain.

With the participation of these 1,800 people, the Han people have no way to form any resistance, and not everyone wants to resist, and many people feel that the "foreigner's government" is just to ask for money, and if you give money, you will buy peace.

It was this kind of psychology that the Han Chinese, who were originally superior in numbers, were calmly defeated by the Spaniards and the natives, and then slaughtered.

Although the natives were not as good as the monkeys, they were still human after all, and after the Spaniards and natives completely divided and surrounded the Han people in Luzon, disaster struck.

The governor of Luzon in Spain issued a decree, all Han people were divided into 300 people, subject to verification, and determined that those who were good citizens could return to their homeland to live.

Three hundred people in a courtyard, just for a more convenient massacre, watching the Han people obediently obedient, the Spaniards and Luzon natives originally had a trace of worry was gone, and they began to go crazy.

At this time, even if they found that it was not good, they could not escape, and the fields they worked hard to cultivate, the estates they developed, and the wealth they accumulated would all fall into the hands of the Spaniards, and their brothers and nephews would be killed by the natives, and their wives and sisters would be brutally humiliated.

In the sixteenth year of Wanli, Luzon was hell for the Han people, and the whole Luzon was full of Han blood, and the land in many parts of Luzon became more fertile, because it was using the flesh and bones of the Han people as fertilizer.

Such a tragedy, such a killing, no one knew about it in the Ming Dynasty, and no one even cared about the fate of these Han people in Nanyang.

Leaving the territory of the Ming Dynasty and drifting across the ocean to a foreign land, in the eyes of the Ming officials and even the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are already outcasts and are not worth caring about.

Seventy miles northwest of Manila, there were two Han Chinese villages, but now they have become a wasteland.

This place is not suitable for sailing, and there is no harbor or anything like that, but the ship is sailed and anchored at the place where it docks, and it is still easy to go ashore when the dinghy is lowered, and there is a rule for sailing at sea, that is, you can't do it at night, because it is easy to run aground or run aground, and if something like this happens at night, there is not even any assistance.

But now apparently no one cared about that, a three-masted ship was parked not far from the coast, and the people on board were lying on the side of the ship to look around, and the captain of the ship was scolding in a low voice from time to time, because there were so many people lying on his stomach that the ship was a little tilted.

"Mother Laozi, the black light is blind, what can you see, wait for the red-haired boat to come, you haven't run out, you go back to work on your own business, scarred eyes, you take care of the wind lantern, if you let Bai Wu's boat go wrong, you will be thrown down to feed Wang Ba!"

"Torches! Torch!! ”

A few people on the boat shouted, and torches could be seen shaking over there, and they hurriedly shook the wind lanterns here.

Not long after, a dinghy approached the Canton boat, and someone looked down and said in surprise:

"It's not just Bai Wu, there are two people, hurry up and put the net down."

The hook and a net of twine were cast, and the men in the dinghy first hung the hook on the dinghy, and then climbed into the boat along the net, and as soon as they stepped on deck, two men collapsed to the ground at once, while the other shouted:

"Whoever gets them dry food to eat, it's been half a month since they were raw."

Some people hurriedly operated, but others hurriedly surrounded and asked, but the person knelt on the ground, and cried out loudly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"There are only two of them left in Baijia Village, and the rest of the people are all gone, they are all killed, and the corpse capital is nowhere to be found."

The people on the boat gasped, and the two people who were paralyzed on the boat also screamed:

"It's so miserable, Chunni doesn't let go of a child as young, she was picked up on the spear by that Shengfan, the fourth brother's mother-in-law, she was ruined to death, and they didn't even let go of the child."

Some of the people on the boat were cursing loudly, while others were hurriedly hoisting their sails and anchoring, and the captain of the ship came up and said:

"Fifth Brother Bai, you have also seen it, and two people have rescued it, which can be regarded as a blessing, you don't dare to stay here longer, you take a few more looks, kowtow a few heads, we are leaving."

Bai Wu is a young man in his early twenties, tall, but he is not as strong and dark as a person who runs to the South Seas, but looks like a scholar, hearing this, Bai Wu kowtowed a few times in the direction of the shore, and after kowtowing, he couldn't help crying again.

The captain waited for him to finish crying, walked up to him and whispered:

"Fifth Brother Bai, you let the brothers come here this time, all the silver on your body has been spent, you can accept the five taels of silver, and go back to Guangdong to find a living, this catastrophe, this is God's eyes"

Bai Wu wiped his tears and took the silver, and stayed there for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice:

"I want revenge!!"
