Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 572
After Qi Jiguang confessed, he led the army to attack Manila.

The remaining natives and Spanish soldiers looked at each other, then picked up their tools and started working.

Some of them dig pits, some carry the dead, and of course some prepare hay and wood.

Although they don't like each other, they have already become prisoners of the Ming army, so there is nothing to say.

At this time, under the leadership of Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, the Chinese held weapons and supervised them all around.

If someone is found to be dishonest or not doing a good job, he will be killed immediately.

Although the Chinese are rich, they have been oppressed by the aborigines and colonists for so many years, and they will be massacred again in a few years.

But today their identities have been swapped, and the Chinese have completely turned over to be the masters.

Although the natives and Spanish soldiers were dissatisfied, they immediately behaved honestly when they saw piles of broken limbs and scattered parts of their companions on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese have been rescued, the natives have been almost wiped out, most of the colonial soldiers outside the city have been killed or injured, and the rest have surrendered. Now the army is going to attack the city of Manila, and I request the navy to transport the cannons to the city of Manila."

While drinking, Zhu Youjian discussed world development trends with Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong thought that he often went abroad with his father and knew a lot about countries in the world.

But when chatting with the emperor, he was completely shocked by the emperor's talent.

An emperor who had never left the Ming mainland, and had never even left the Forbidden City before.

He actually knows and understands things beyond the ocean ten thousand times more than he knows.

Zheng Chenggong hadn't even heard of many things the emperor said.

Zheng Chenggong, who had always admired the emperor, now respected and worshiped His Majesty even more. He was really proud of having such a holy king in Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly Qi Jiguang's voice came from the intercom, requesting the navy to transport the cannon to Manila.

After Qi Jiguang and the others landed, they knew that the Chinese were in an emergency, so they did not carry heavy artillery for quick rescue.

Zhu Youjian grabbed the walkie-talkie:
"Received, I will immediately send someone to send you cannons, and the army can surround Manila City first."

"According to the purpose"

As soon as Zhu Youjian put down the walkie-talkie, Zheng Chenggong stood up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I will lead the navy to land immediately. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Come on, let's go and see!"

Leaving Shi Lang and others on duty, Zhu Youjian and Zheng Chenggong led [-] navy troops to land.

With the emperor's personal conquest, there is no need to bother to carry artillery.

Under the protection of Qinglong Cao Zhengchun and Jin Yiwei, three thousand marines stepped on their horses and galloped towards the city of Manila.

The governor of Manila, Coquila, did not dare to slack off at all. He was standing at the top of Manila city and commanding the soldiers to do a good job of defense.

Both the army and the navy were killed by the Ming army, and there were not many soldiers in the city, about 1000 people.

Coquila had no choice but to order the natives in the city and businessmen from various countries to defend the city.

The Chinese women and children who did not have time to leave were also escorted to the top of the city, and they were regarded as life-saving straws by Coquila.

"Da da da……"

Not long after the gunfire outside the city ended, there was a violent sound of horseshoes.

Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, the Ming army quickly arrived and surrounded Manila.

Seeing the overwhelming and majestic Ming army, Kekuila standing at the top of the city turned pale and trembled all over.

Although they knew that they were single and weak, they still wanted to rely on solid city defenses to compete with the Ming army.

The natives and some businessmen in the city panicked, feeling that the sky was about to collapse.

They are all city believers, and many of them participated in the massacre of Chinese in 1639 under the instigation of the archbishop.

Spain is best at preaching, and now the natives in Manila are basically Christians.

The archbishop can compete with the governor in Manila, and even has far more appeal than the governor of Manila.

Today the archbishop is also standing at the head of Manila. No matter how much appeal the archbishop has, first of all he is a Spaniard.

Looking at the majestic Ming army below the city, the archbishop's heart was also trembling.

Although he is the supreme existence in the hearts of the congregation, but he is very clear in his heart that it is all a bluff.

God will not really bless him, nor will he punish the menacing Ming army.

In front of the non-religious Ming army, he, the archbishop, was nothing, and he could be sent to God with a single shot.

He had been to Daming, and wanted to find some congregants in the populous Daming.

But the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an order that no one can preach in Daming, or they will die.

In order to survive, the archbishop had no choice but to sneak away from Daming in desperation.

Qi Jiguang straddled his horse and stood at the foot of the city, accompanied by Li Dingguo and Huang Degong.

Behind them are the three famous invincible divisions of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang looked up at the tall city of Manila, and waved to his subordinates:

"Come here, shout to the top of the city, let them open the city and surrender within half a stick of incense, otherwise Daming will destroy the city of Manila and kill them all!"

"Yes"

In ancient times, there were special scolding soldiers, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception, and they also had a super killer weapon for scolding.

Thirty scolding soldiers, led by the little banner master, urged their horses to rush out of the battle formation, all of them holding the "treble loudspeaker", an artifact of scolding that is unique to Ming Dynasty

Of course, the Ming army and the others were not surprised, but they were at a loss when they saw the Spaniards on the top of the city.

When the Ming army raised its loudspeaker and was about to shout to the top of the city, it frightened the Spanish archbishop.

He walked quickly to the side of Governor Coquera, and asked with his hand the big horn in Mingjun's hand:

"Governor, what kind of weapon is the Ming army using? We have never seen such a thing. Could it be some powerful firearm? Look at the muzzle..."

The archbishop thought it was a firearm when he saw the thick horn of the big horn.

How did Coquila know what it was, since the Ming army pointed it at the top of the city, it must be an offensive weapon.

"Everyone pay attention to dodge, don't be hit by the Ming army's mysterious weapon..."

Under Coquera's order, the Spanish soldiers, natives, and businessmen who were brought in temporarily bent down and hid behind the city wall.

But those Chinese women and children who were taken by Corquela to be cannon fodder stood up straight with their chests up and their heads held high without any fear.

They had all heard about the murder of the Ming people in Luzon, and thought that such a tragedy would never happen again, but they thought too well of the colonists.

Only five years later, the colonists once again raised their butcher knives against the Ming people, even women and children like them.

They never thought that the Ming army would come to Luzon, but today they saw the Ming dragon flag fluttering in the wind below the city.

Anyway, there is no escape. If Ming's strong ships and guns can destroy them and the colonists today, they all feel that it is worth it, and they will definitely die without regret.

A five or six-year-old Chinese boy pointed to the Ming army under the city and asked his grandma:
"Grandma, look, the army in the city is too majestic. Are they here to attack us? It seems that the army in the city is definitely not their opponent."
