Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 674 Jungle Guerrilla (Second Change)
On Luzon Island, in addition to the Spanish colonial army occupying Manila, there are many indigenous tribes.These indigenous tribes could not defeat the colonial army, but the number of the colonial army was not large enough to suppress all the indigenous tribes. The two sides maintained a balance in a special state.However, the indigenous tribes were dissatisfied with the colonial army, because the colonial army often asked them to hand over their fur, gold and silver, and often went to the indigenous tribes to rob the tribesmen to serve as coolies.

The shopkeeper Wang who rebelled in the Manila incident fled to one of the indigenous tribes who were extremely disgusted with the colonial army. Fortunately, he was taken in. There were only a hundred people left around him, with less than twenty firecrackers in his hands, and the rest were big knives Cold weapons such as bows and arrows.

In the middle of the forest, a Spanish army of 300 people is carefully exploring the depths of the jungle, holding matchlock guns, carefully staring at the dark jungle, not knowing where wild animals or indigenous people will emerge.

Acuña, Governor of Manila, has a saber hanging from his waist and an arquebus in his hand.

At the front of the queue, and on the left and right sides, there were more than a dozen captured natives. They were chained together by the colonial soldiers with ropes and chains, serving as guides to the native tribes and as shields.

Acuña's expression was very bad. He learned about the Manila uprising in Batavia and the Kyushu Army's request to release the Chinese businessmen caught in the Manila incident. As the governor appointed by the Spanish emperor, he had to Swallowing and accepting the conditions of the Kyushu Army.Moreover, this incident happened just after the establishment of the East India Coalition Army presided over by the Dutch, which was equivalent to slapping Acuña in the face and making Acuña stand in front of the two governors of Cohen and Mascar Road. Can't hold my head up.

So after returning to Manila from Batavia this time, Acuña vented his anger on the hundreds of uprising remnants led by the treasurer Wang who fled from Manila that day, as well as the indigenous tribes who dared to shield them, and immediately began to organize troops to enter Siege in the jungle.

"According to the confessions of the captured natives, there are only a hundred or so Han Chinese who fled into the jungle, and the leader is a Han businessman named Wang Laosan. Their morale was low because of the failure of the rebellion." Adjutant Castle followed Aku Nia's side, and said to him.

"Wang Laosan? Has his family caught him?" Acuna gritted his teeth.

"This Wang Laosan is very shrewd in both business and business. He sent all his family members to Annan Country long before the rebellion, and now he is receiving the protection of the Kyushu Army. It is impossible for our people to enter Annan Country to arrest people." Cass Er said.

"Damn it, when I capture him alive, I will definitely hang him on the top of the city of Manila as a warning to others," Acuña said.

Three hundred colonial soldiers marched through the jungle, their military boots left footprints on the ground, and some wild animals that encountered them were frightened away, only mosquitoes troubled them.

In the jungle, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at these colonial soldiers, as if staring at a group of prey.

A Spanish soldier felt leaves shaking in the forest, wiped his eyes, and everything was normal.

Acuña and the others approached the indigenous tribe in the jungle, and then walked around the foot of a mountain to enter the indigenous tribe.

"You guys take a native to explore the way first." Castle said to several soldiers.

A few colonial soldiers nodded, and escorted a prisoner around the foot of the mountain, disappearing in front of everyone.

"After the war in Europe is over, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to send a large army to completely wipe out the tribes who dared to resist us on the island, and turn this place into our colony. Keeping them will always be troublesome. This time they took in The rebellious Han people have exposed the disadvantages." Acuña sat down beside a boulder and said to Castle.

"Not only the indigenous tribes, but the Han people living in Manila are also a hidden danger. In the past, the Han people lived in wars and frequent natural disasters in their homeland. They left their homes and came here. Taking root in Manila again, my heart must be facing the east, and I am becoming more and more dissatisfied with our rule, and similar rebellions will often occur." Castle said.

"After the rebels are suppressed, we will start to expel the Han people in Manila, confiscate their property, and completely eliminate their influence in Manila," Acuña said.

Acuña and Castle waited for the Spanish soldiers to report back, but after waiting for a long time, the Spanish soldiers still hadn't returned, and there were insects chirping in the jungle from time to time.

Acuña always felt that something was wrong: "The few of them who went to explore the road, why haven't they come back yet?"

Suddenly he noticed a cold light out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously lay down forward.

Zheng!An arrow flew from the back of Acuña's neck, hitting the boulder behind him, sending sparks flying.

The arrow of this sneak attack was like a signal. Arrows were shot out one after another in the jungle, occasionally mixed with the sound of firecrackers!
The colonial army who was suddenly attacked used both hands and feet, and panickedly climbed behind the stones and trees to block the arrow attack, while the fallen Acuña was almost dragged by Castle to hide under the boulder.Just being attacked in this way, more than a dozen corpses fell on the ground, and several colonial soldiers who had been shot in the thigh fell to the ground, watching the second round of arrow rain in despair.

"Damn guy, they were almost killed by them just now!" Acuña broke out in a cold sweat, startled and angry, "Counterattack immediately! Counterattack immediately!"

The colonial soldiers who came back to their senses didn't know how many enemies were in the jungle, nor where the enemies were. They lit the matchlock, pulled the trigger, and shot in the direction of the bow and arrow in the forest.

Gunshots sounded one after another, and the white smoke from the burning gunpowder made the boulders smoky. Both sides began to shoot at each other aimlessly, and some unlucky soldiers fell under the arrows or bullets of the other side.

The shooting between the two sides lasted for about half an hour. Many branches and leaves in the jungle were shattered by bullets or arrows, and leaves fell everywhere. Later, the troops who attacked secretly in the jungle saw that they could not please the 300 Spanish musketeers. , and gradually dispersed, leaving behind some corpses.But in general, the colonial army that was attacked by surprise suffered a loss.

"These damned natives, it's fine to protect the Han people, but dare to resist, you follow me to attack the native tribes and completely destroy them!" Acuña knew without thinking that it was the native tribes and the fleeing Manila rebels who were here to snipe them, even more Angry and angry, he directly led the remaining colonial soldiers to attack the indigenous tribes.

Such disgrace has not been experienced since they conquered Manila!
