However, compared to the tens of thousands of Spaniards who settled in Manila, and the many more mixed-race white people.
The large number of ships in Manila Port also seems quite overwhelming.
Nowadays, ferry tickets have been priced at ten Spanish silver coins each, but they are still expensive but not marketable.
Except for powerful people like Ricca or Sares, not to mention mixed-race white people, even ordinary Spaniards were not qualified to board the ship.
The chaos on the pier became more and more intensified, and the gentlemen who were polite in the past became hysterical.
Many thin women were pushed to the ground, and some children were even trampled to death by the crowd.
In the Manila port now, there is a scene of doomsday.
Rika withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes in pain.
"Oh my God!"
"God, have you abandoned Spain?"
Since landing in Luzon and establishing a colony in Luzon more than a hundred years ago, the Spaniards never imagined that they would face the current situation.
Before the Ming army's cave siege method, the Spanish's largest guard of honor, the solid bastions, became vulnerable!
A large number of troops were systematically annihilated in the field, and even the fleet that the Spanish were proud of was inexplicably wiped out.
Putting things together, it seems that there is a bit of God abandoning Spain!
At the same time, on the merchant ship of the Scourge family.
Father and son Yada and Capello were also looking in the direction of Manila.
Yada asked.
"Father, is it possible for us to return to Manila?"
Capello shook his head solemnly and said.
"It's unlikely!"
"Unless Habsburg goes crazy and devotes all its national power to a cross-sea expedition to Luzon, Spain, favored by God, will lose its interests in the Far East forever."
Although Spain in this era has begun to decline, as the saying goes, there are still three thousand nails in the broken ship. Spain, the world's first empire on which the sun never sets, still has strength.
Spain in today's Europe is like the United States in the 21st century!
Although the national power is constantly declining, he is still the most powerful force in the world due to his sufficient size, one super among many super powers.
With the backing of its American colonies and a huge Armada, Spain's strength still ranks first in Europe.
Among countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, only Britain, a country that was considered an emerging political power after the bourgeois revolution, had the ability to compete with Spain alone.
All other countries have to join forces before they dare to compete with the Spaniards!
However, although the Spaniards stopped their cattle, this is the highlight moment in their history.
But, the distance between the Far East and Europe is too far!
After an expedition across half of the world, the Habsburg dynasty, now struggling with financial difficulties, would probably have to pawn their pants.
Capello made a simple calculation!
In this decisive battle of Luzon, the Governor-General invested nearly 10,000 troops, including 5,000 white musketeers.
The result was a disastrous failure!
In order to avoid the situation of sending people across thousands of miles, Madrid wanted to cross the sea to launch an expedition to Luzon. To ensure victory, at least 20,000 white musketeers and more indigenous servants were needed.
It’s not that Spain doesn’t have so many soldiers!
Grit your teeth, let alone 20,000 people, even 200,000 people in Spain can still come up with it.
However, you must know that the sea is not calm.
During the Duck War, the British and French forces attacked the Qing Dynasty, and 20% of it was sunk due to wind and waves on the road.
You know, that was in the 19th century, when steamships were already being used on a large scale.
If an expedition was to be carried out halfway across the world in the 17th century, it would be conservatively estimated that half of the expedition would have to sink!
In other words, in order to ensure that 20,000 people can arrive in Luzon and fight on the battlefield, the Spaniards must mobilize at least 50,000 people.
And be prepared for most of them to die at sea!
Good guy, who can stand this?!
Not to mention preparing food, grass and weapons for these 50,000 people to travel halfway around the world.
Even if supplies are prepared in advance for the Spanish coasts around the world, the ports passed by 50,000 people will most likely be destroyed in one fell swoop...
If the Habsburg dynasty really wanted to expedition to East Asia.
There is no doubt that when the war begins, Spain will collapse.
It was the day when the King of Spain was hanged on the gallows by the nobles!
So, what the hell is this expedition?
Capello really doesn't think Spain will have a chance to fight back to Manila!
Yada asked again.
"Father, if all the forces in Europe in the east unite, will they be able to destroy the Liberation Army and take back Manila?"
Capello shook his head again and said.
"If it were before this decisive battle in Luzon, it might be possible!"
"But now, it's impossible!"
"..."
Among the several colonies of the European countries in the East, the strongest one is the Spanish.
Although the Dutch are known as sea coachmen, compared with Spain, the gap is still not small.
Didn't you notice that the country's surname master had already pulled out the city of Relanja, but the Dutch didn't react at all?
Spain, the strongest country, is on its knees. Can Yada still count on the Dutch and Portuguese to stand up to the Ming Dynasty and give them lives?
Just as the father and son were worried about Europa's decline in the Far East, the commotion on the dock suddenly escalated.
…
A twelve-pointed sun and moon flag and a black dragon military flag with a red background appeared at the end of the horizon!
After the Liberation Army ended the Battle of Cavite, Zhu Hongyu received news that Hong Mao was going to run away.
Therefore, he led his people straight to the port of Manila without stopping.
In Zhu Hongyu's view, he still wants these red hairs to contribute to building a civilized, prosperous, safe and harmonious feudal New Ming Dynasty.
No one can let go!
The infantrymen of the Liberation Army formed a neat square formation outside the dock and marched in formation.
They raised their muskets and aimed their guns forward, forming a standard formation of lining up to kill.
The war drums beat continuously, and the trumpets sound low and powerful.
Coupled with the neat military appearance of the Guangfu Army, the black muzzles of the guns, and the sharp bayonets, it brings a sense of oppression.
Chaos instantly broke out on the pier, as countless people crowded together, trying to board the ship leaving Manila.
Crowding, stepping on, cursing, beating...
The entire Manila port is in chaos!
At this moment, the Zheng army's cavalry led by Ma Xin personally appeared on the scene.
The cavalry galloped like flying. Although the number was small, the pressure they brought to the Spaniards was greater than the pressure brought by thousands of infantry.
