Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 562
The Liu family estate outside Manila is conducting emergency training for gunmen.

However, the Spanish soldiers who besieged the Liu family's old house could not see a single Chinese.

The Luzon natives chasing the Chinese, more than 2000 people were blocked in the tunnel at this time, and more than 300 people were buried in the tunnel landslide and suffocated to death.

There was no way to get out due to the collapse in front, so the natives had to turn around and prepare to exit through his entrance.

The two ends of the tunnel are spacious, but the middle part can only accommodate two or three people in parallel.

The aborigines who retreated in panic were severely crowded, and there were still aboriginals entering the tunnel from the entrance.

Once people get crowded, the air in the tunnel starts to become thinner.

The aborigines began to feel that their breathing was not smooth. In order to escape the tunnel earlier, the aborigines were almost all crowded together.

Some fled to the outside, and the aborigines at the entrance were still entering the tunnel from the entrance.

The result was a severe stampede by poorly trained natives, and many were squeezed to death.

Nearly 2000 people entered the tunnel, and in the end only more than 500 people escaped from the tunnel.

Seeing the appearance of the natives, the Spanish non-commissioned officer was angry and anxious, and snapped:

"A group of useless things are like pigs and dogs. Look at your embarrassed appearance, and tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Sir, the exit of the tunnel was blown up by the Chinese, and many people were buried inside. We didn't go up, and we don't know where the exit of the tunnel is. All the evil Ming people have escaped."

The Spanish non-commissioned officer was taken aback. He raised his hand and slapped the speaking native with two big mouths:
"Nimma, they are all useless. Immediately disperse to find their whereabouts. If you find a Chinese, don't startle the enemy, report to us immediately, go!"

"Yes"

The aborigines and Japanese vagrants who besieged the Chinese immediately split up and searched for the whereabouts of the Chinese.

Since they don't know where the tunnel leads, they simply become swarms of headless chickens.

But half a day later, even though they divided their troops into multiple ways, they still did not find out where the Chinese had gone.

As for the manors outside the city, they didn't even think about it. In their hearts, they thought that the Chinese tunnels could not be opened outside the city.

In the Governor's Mansion in Manila, Governor Coquila believed that this action against the Chinese should be resolved soon.

In a good mood, Coquila fell asleep exhausted after three rounds of fierce battles with Dayan Ma.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, and Leiden walked in with a face full of anger, but suddenly froze.

They were fighting outside, and the governor actually lay naked on the sofa with a big ocean horse.

The sound of pushing the door also woke up Dayan Ma. He looked up at Leiden and then at Coquera beside him. She didn't care at all that she was not wearing anything.

She was already used to this kind of thing, she reached out and took the torn clothes to cover her body.

Coquila was also woken up, and opened her eyes to look at Leiden, thinking that Leiden was here to announce the good news, so she waved to Leiden:

"I know you won't let me down, get out first, I'll be looking for you, be careful not to let the natives take away the money."

Leiden was speechless for a moment. Although he was cursing the bullshit governor in his heart, there were still some things that had to be reported to them:
"My lord, all the Chinese escaped from the tunnels. The city was almost searched. Except for the old and young who did not leave, no one was found. They seem to have disappeared from the world suddenly. Should we get rid of those women, children and old people first? ?”

"what?"

Leiden's words immediately made Manila Governor Coquila jump up from the sofa. After so many years, R&F Chinese have run away?
"You bastards, you all planned well, how can you let them slip away, if the Ming Fleet attacks Manila, they are the biggest threat to Manila, you must kill them first.

Now it seems that this group of people has been prepared for a long time, and the tunnels have been dug. This is too dangerous. Fortunately, Governor Ben reacted quickly and thought of getting rid of them first.

Send everyone out to me, even if you turn Manila upside down, you must find them, don't worry about those women and children for the time being, and it won't be too late to deal with them after the men in their family are dealt with. "

Hearing that Corquila is still bragging about himself, Leiden is momentarily speechless. 5 people are now looking for escaped Chinese. Isn’t that enough?

Just as Leiden was about to say something, suddenly a soldier came in and reported:
"Your Excellency, someone found a large number of Chinese gathered in the Liu Family Manor outside the city."

Hearing the soldier's report, Coquila was both surprised and delighted:
"Outside the city, their tunnels have actually been dug outside the city. Let Leiden gather his team quickly, this time we must wipe them all out."

"Yes, don't worry, Governor Governor, this time it will be hard for them to fly."

Army Colonel Raiden agreed, and immediately turned around to leave, but was stopped by Coquera:

"Colonel, wait a minute."

Raiden stopped in his tracks:

"My lord, what other orders do you have?"

"The Chinese must be prepared. Bring more people and let the aborigines and Japanese go first. With enough cannon fodder, the precious Royal Army cannot take risks at will."

"Yes"

Hearing what the governor said, Leiden felt warm in his heart. It turned out that in the governor's heart, these Spanish soldiers still had a very high status.

This time Leiden brought another 1000 Spanish Royal Army, plus the original [-] people, the number of Spanish Royal Army reached [-].

These 3000 people are regular soldiers who have experienced many battles, and there are tens of thousands of natives. With the addition of Japanese mercenaries, [-] to [-] Chinese are nothing at all.

In the Liu Family Manor outside Manila, the two thousand flintlock guns brought by Zhan Zhao had already been distributed.

And appointed [-] Jinyiwei as Chinese gunmen, let them lead the Chinese to fight.

The vast majority of Chinese have never experienced war scenes. If they do not need experienced people to lead the team, they will have no combat effectiveness at all.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have already divided their work, the front door is the main direction of attack, and Zhan Zhao leads 1000 people to guard the front door.

The position of the back door is relatively good, easy to defend but difficult to attack, Bai Yutang led 500 people to guard the back door.

Although the Spaniards don't necessarily have to play the back door, they have to guard against it.

The patriarchs of the four major families took their servants and were in charge of supporting the manor. Whenever they encountered difficulties or dangers, they immediately supported them.

After making arrangements, Zhan Zhaoyou asked all the women, children and old people who came to Liu's house to enter the inner house and not to come out no matter what happened.

All the tables and stools in the Liu family were also moved out. Zhan Zhao ordered the front door and the back door to be sealed, and all the tables and stools were placed behind the wooden wall.

When the enemy attacked, the Chinese gunmen were trying to shoot from the tables and benches behind the wooden wall, otherwise the wooden wall was too high, and they would not be able to see the outside situation at all.

The wooden wall area is very large, and the Liu family did not have so many tables and stools. They cut down some trees temporarily and built wooden ladders on the spot.

Zhan Zhao is now teaching them how to make wooden ladders. Wooden ladders should be made horizontal, just like the tripods we use to build houses now.

It’s easy to work with a lot of people, and these things are done quickly. The Chinese people boarded the tables, stools and wooden ladders to try the shooting position, and the height was just right.

As soon as everything was ready in the Liu Family Manor, the observers standing on duty on the roof noticed a large black crowd coming towards them in the distance.
