Once the guarantee of force is lost, the colony is not far away!
Barossa fell into despair, he was dead!
As the governor of Manila, Spain lost Luzon during his reign.
In this way, even if he can return to Europe alive, Madrid will definitely have to send him to the barbecue grill to bring salt for himself.
Barossa took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and then ordered.
"Go and invite Mr. Consul and Mr. Bishop to the conference room!"
Officials from the Governor's Palace were ordered to do it.
That afternoon, Archon Ricca and Bishop Sares finally arrived at the conference room of the Governor's Palace.
Barossa sat in the main seat, his face full of vicissitudes and despair.
The coffee on hand had already cooled down, and the entire conference room was filled with thick smoke.
Barossa kept a pipe at hand, burning fine Cuban tobacco leaves.
Barossa's body was full of twilight, like a dying person.
Bishop Sares exclaimed when he saw this scene.
"Oh my god, who turned our Lord Governor into this!"
"I can feel the confusion in the Governor's heart. At this time, only God can redeem the Governor's heart."
Rika also looked ugly, but instead of imitating Bishop Sares and asking questions knowingly, he spoke.
"My Lord Governor, what are your orders?"
Barossa took a deep breath and said to the consul.
"Your Majesty the Consul, I need you to give an order right now to summon the militias from the towns under the Governor's Palace, as well as the garrisons from various places, all to gather in Manila to jointly defend the city of Manila!"
"I want to live or die with the city of Manila!"
Sares interrupted and said.
"I think I can go to Batavia and ask for reinforcements for Manila. Under the inspiration of God, the Dutch in Batavia will definitely be willing to provide help to Manila."
"We are all God's people!"
Sares made it sound like he was going to ask for help, but to put it bluntly, he was just preparing to run away.
Asking for help or something is just an excuse!
Barossa nodded and said.
"Excuse me, Lord Bishop, please help me mobilize the people of Manila as much as possible."
"Lord Archon, prepare to arm the people!"
"Then, I can allow the Bishop and the Consul to leave Manila together and go to Batavia to seek help!"
Bishop Sares's eyes lit up, and then he spoke.
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, I will be responsible for the mobilization!"
"I believe that under the inspiration of God, the Spanish in Manila, regardless of age or sex, will bravely take up arms and fight against the infidels until the last moment of their lives!"
After speaking, Bishop Sares turned and left the meeting room. He wanted to use religious influence to mobilize the Spanish in Manila.
When Archon Rica saw Bishop Sares leaving, he spoke.
"Your Excellency, Governor, I am willing to stay with you in Manila and fight to the last moment for the glory of God and for the favor of Spain."
Governor Barossa shook his head and said.
"No need, just one person will be responsible for the loss of Manila!"
"You are an excellent consul, live well!"
Seeing this, Consul Ricca said nothing more, and made up his mind to do everything the governor asked him to do.
Including preparing weapons for the militiamen to fight, etc.!
…
Ricca left the Governor's Palace and prepared to go to the City Hall to take charge of the work.
Just as he was passing by the cathedral in the city, he saw countless believers of God gathered outside the church.
They cheered wildly!
"Fight for God, and you can go to heaven after death!"
"Cowards will spend eternity in hell!"
Bishop Sares stood in front of everyone and shouted excitedly.
"For Manila, for God's favor Spain, let us fight to the end!"
"Stop those Chinese demons and protect our Manila!"
"..."
Rika withdrew his gaze. The former kind and kind bishop now looked extremely hypocritical and disgusting.
Here he uses generous words to encourage believers to die on the battlefield!
But he himself was preparing to flee Manila!
The bishop will use the lives of countless God's people to buy himself a chance to survive.
How hypocritical!
That's right, in Rika's eyes, these believers who are now temporarily armed will die when they get to the battlefield.
The five thousand professional soldiers in the Governor's Mansion were defeated and wiped out. How could these ordinary people be the opponents of the ferocious Ming army?
With so many people going to the battlefield, how many can survive?
Rika strode away. He couldn't stand the hypocrisy of Bishop Sares.
…
Outside Manila, the manor of the Scotch family!
Mr. Capello frowned, and even his son Yada looked frightened and frightened.
"Father, we must escape Manila!"
"I don't want to be a Chinese prisoner of war anymore. You can't imagine what life a prisoner of war must have like. They are simply not treated as human beings..."
Yada had been a prisoner of war of the Liberation Army several times. Although he is now free, he still feels lingering fears about his life as a prisoner of war.
The news of St. Jones's defeat in the battle had just come, and he was already clamoring to run for his life!
When the news of Ling Gayan's defeat came again, Yada almost cried out of fear in public.
Mr. Capello also said.
"Don't worry Yada, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Our Scotch family has two merchant ships anchored in Manila. We can leave Luzon at any time."
Yada asked.
"Father, are we going to Batavia?"
Capello shook his head and said.
"Instead of going to Batavia, we will go directly back to Europe!"
"The Far East is too dangerous now, it would be safer to return to Europe!"
Capello feels that it is still unknown whether the Dutch can keep Batavia!
The Spaniards lost Manila, and Batavia, whose military strength was not even as good as Manila's, could resist the Ming army's attack?
As for whether the Explanation Army will attack Batavia!
Capello feels that there is no need to ask this question before he can get a positive answer!
With the Ming army's series of military defeats on the mainland in the past two years, the Ming army lost vast territory.
Next, in order to survive, the Ming army must expand its survival circle.
The Battle of Daguang and the Battle of Luzon all took place against this background.
Do we still need to think about where the Ming army will attack next?
It must be Nanyang!
The entire Nanyang is a traditional Confucian cultural circle. In the eyes of the natives of Nanyang, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven.
Even if the entire Central Plains is lost, Han culture is still the leader of the entire East!
If the Ming Dynasty wants to accumulate strength in order to counterattack the mainland, it must take over the entire south.
The city of Jelanja and Manila were lost!
How could Batavia survive?
As for whether to stay in Manila after the war, Capello has never thought about it.
His family had participated in the previous two Chinese massacres, and their hands were stained with Chinese blood.
When the Chinese gain a foothold in Manila, will the Scourge family be able to survive?
What a fool to think of staying in Manila!
Run away!
At this moment, Yada suddenly discovered that her "cautiousness" was also inherited...
Mr. Capello acted quickly and immediately gave the order, asking people to pack up the property and prepare to move to Manila.
Then take a boat from Manila Port!
