Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 678

Already running out of money?

Then grab it! ?

Isn't the first step in a colonial war to rob!
If the Spaniards rob the locals, let's rob the Spaniards.

Zhu Youjian has already started planning how to rely on plunder to gain a foothold in the local area after landing on the other side of the ocean.

Daming has already started robbing the Spaniards.

After the Baqian Xiangyong recruited from Daming arrived in Santa Ana City, Wang Chengen began to prepare for a counterattack. Although the Zheng family did not want to send troops to follow up, they had to cooperate with Daming Nanyang Company, a good partner. Some generals served as military advisors.

Subsequently, the colonial war between Ming and Spain in Luzon officially entered a fierce stage.

It was not easy to recruit eight thousand soldiers.

Wen Shuqiong was impeached in advance, and before he was about to be questioned, he got these people on board, and then ran to Luzon Island as if fleeing.

It can be said that a little later, his behavior of returning to Daming Guangzhou without authorization, and then recruiting [-] soldiers in Fuzhou and Guangzhou without authorization will have to send his whole family to the prison, and maybe he will be killed.

Fortunately, his Wen family is in Shaanxi, and he ran down to become an official in Nanjing by himself.

Otherwise, even if he ran away, the court would have to blame his family members.

The current situation is that Wen Shuqiong has really done something big in Luzon with 8000 people, so his behavior can be completely forgiven.

As long as the rumors about the land of gold that have been circulating in Nanjing for several months are confirmed in Luzon, and the real money is sent back to Daming, the newspapers will have to praise him first, not to mention the imperial court.

If not.

Then he doesn't have to go back.

Staying in Luzon is good enough to survive.

And Wen Shuqiong is a very traditional Confucian student. He still thought about serving the Ming court and waiting for the success of the Northern Expedition before he could return to his hometown and clan to worship his ancestors.

The possibility of staying overseas and not being able to return makes him a little apprehensive.

Therefore, when attacking the Spanish colonial army, Wen Shuqiong worked extraordinarily hard. Not only did he personally lead the troops into battle, but he also advocated concentrating the elite to go straight to Manila, the governor's capital of Spain in Luzon.

It is impossible to break the city, but it can force Spain to form an alliance with Daming, allowing them to cede the gold and silver deposits in the north to Daming, and then Nanyang will be used for mining by the company, so that he can return to his life with gold as soon as possible.

After the proposal was rejected, he thought hard.

Just grab it.

Run to grab those gold and silver mines.

Just grab a lap, and he can take the gold and silver back and return to his life.

This method is simple, and the soldiers are also vigorous in doing it.

But the cruelty of the colonial war is impossible because the people who colonized were Ming people, and the Han people will disappear.

The Han people are also old players on this blue planet when it comes to foreign colonization and expansion.

The step-by-step expansion of the territory has allowed the Han ethnic group to maintain the most pure genetic map among all human beings.

This is the accumulation of thousands of years.

Even if they become perpetrators, the Han people are also the best group.

The joining of [-] new troops quickly broke the deadlock of the siege of Puerto Santa Ana, and the large army made an assault on the outside. Although the Spanish army had expected it, they concentrated their elites to curb the counterattack of the Ming army.

But at a critical moment, the flank was attacked by a small team in black armor, which disrupted the formation.

After the collapse of the Spanish main force, most of the remaining native soldiers who came to participate in the siege didn't even have the courage to fight, so they just broke up and fled.

It was only a small defeat in the first battle, and [-] of Spain's [-] troops were dispersed.

Afterwards, in the entire northern part of Luzon Island, there was no army that could stop the pace of the Ming colonial army.

"Destroy San Juan City, Dazhao for two days, there are more than a thousand red-haired barbarians in the city, and nearly [-] natives. All of them were slaughtered."

"The guard of Laoag City offered the city. The soldiers asked for gold and silver when they entered the city, and the people donated [-] gold and silver, so that the soldiers would not offend the residents of the city. The guard and more than [-] red-haired barbarians in the city are on the way to escort them here."

"In the city of Shigegarao, the red-haired Yi army has been bombarded by cannons for three days, and there is still no movement. I heard from the natives that they want the natives to help them fight back the city of San Juan."

Wang Chengen listened to the battle report in the city of Santa Ana.

The dictation and documents are read together, and the subordinates have to inquire.

There are only three battle reports today, which seem to be relatively few at first glance, and they have brought disaster to two cities.

But with the addition of the previous ones, it would be amazing.

Look at the map drawn by Wang Chengen himself, with many writings and routes marked on it.

Since the encirclement was torn apart, the main force composed of Spain retreated to Shigegarao City, and the rest of the native tribes could not stop the Ming colonial army at all.

However, the Ming colonial army had no military discipline, and no official generals stationed by the government, so there were very few rules in fighting.

That is, there is a reward for beheading, and all the things stolen belong to oneself.

So in this book, many settlements in the northernmost part of Luzon Island, as long as they were slow to surrender, were all disasters.

Those who resist harder will directly massacre the city.

The Spaniards in the city were either slaughtered, or they were all escorted to the city of Santa Ana to be used. Some of them were of good status and would become bargaining chips for Daming Nanyang Company to negotiate with Spain.

Those who have no identity have been clearly arranged.

Either sold to the Ming Dynasty, or sold to the Liaodong of the Qing Dynasty.

One is less profitable but close, and the other is far away but high profitable.

Under the leadership of the Daming Nanyang Company, the colonial army of the Ming Dynasty was like a wild beast eating flesh and blood in northern Luzon.

Under the butcher's knife, the local natives in the north who had previously stood in line with Spain had no choice but to vote for the Luzon Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, and donated silver to the Governor's Mansion to ensure the stability of their tribe and power.

And Wang Chengen is also using the name of the Governor's Mansion to reorganize the local natives and recruit servants from them.

"Then they listened to what the Hongmaoyi said?"

"No, master, they have already donated money to you, master, how dare you?"

Wang Chengen sighed after hearing this: "That's good! I really don't want the army to do more evil here in Luzon!"

The half-grown boy next to him was studying next to Wang Chengen. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Those bastards! Why can't they listen to you, Grandpa, and Daming!"

After all, he got a slap on the head.

Wang Chengen scolded: "You are the governor of Luzon! They are your people! An Neng called them a bastard!? Hold out your hand!"

The boy here was beaten in the palm of his hand.

But the entire city of Santa Ana outside seemed to have the meaning of a hell on earth.

A large number of prisoners of war were tied together and piled together, and a circle was specially drawn for military prostitutes beside the army camp outside the city. The sound of wailing and mourning resounded throughout, and because there were not many people in the city, there were too many prisoners. So there are many corpses hanging from the trees outside the city.

There are many wooden stakes on both sides of the road, with a human head on it, most of them are Spaniards, and the rest are local Luzon natives.

And at the port, a large number of slaves would cry and be driven onto the ship every day.

There will also be a large number of corpses thrown outside the city.
