Chapter 99: Sea Merchants and Pirates

There was a rout in the Giant Tree Tribe. A native of the Giant Tree Tribe couldn't hold on any longer. He turned around and ran away with a look of panic on his face.

One person flees, everyone flees!

His escape caused the entire Giant Wood Tribe's battle front to collapse instantly.

More and more natives threw away their weapons, turned around and fled into the mountains and forests.

Some of the natives of the crocodile tribe howled strangely and quickly chased into the mountains and forests.

The remaining people began to gather the prisoners of war and clean the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Hu Dinggao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The overall situation has been decided!"



The Liberation Army and the Igorots who were close to the Liberation Army acted together to wipe out the indigenous tribes in the mountains who had turned to the Spanish.

All the men who dared to resist were killed, and the old people who could not work were also killed.

All the young men in the tribe became slaves, but women received the best treatment, especially young women who could give birth to children.

No matter which country or nation you are in, no matter whether a woman is beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, as long as she can give birth to children, she is the most precious wealth.

The Liberation Army cooperated with the Igorots and advanced very quickly. In just three to five days, the tribes that colluded with the Spanish were wiped out one by one.

In this battle, the Liberation Army harvested a large amount of food supplies, harvested a large number of young and strong laborers, and eliminated threats in its rear area.

With the Spanish-leaning forces in the mountains being wiped out, the Liberation Army had almost no worries and was about to go out to fight in the mountains!

Zhu Hongyu immediately announced that he would convene a meeting with the generals of the Liberation Army.

Discuss the battle strategy!



Manila!

It has been more than a hundred years since the Spanish colonists first landed on Luzon Island.

Over a hundred years of development, Manila has transformed from a humble colonial town into one of the largest cities in Southeast Asia.

However, the atmosphere in Manila, which used to be bustling and bustling, is a little different today.

There are far fewer people on the streets than before!

In the past, those Spaniards who always held their heads high and were extremely proud are now less proud and more depressed.

The Chinese, who were used to being humble in front of the colonists, unconsciously puffed up their chests.

When the Spaniards targeted the Chinese, they somehow learned to restrain themselves, learned to stop in moderation, and were no longer as aggressive as before.

All of this is due to the fact that Colonel Robin went into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Liberation Army and was defeated miserably. The news that more than a thousand Spanish soldiers were almost wiped out reached Manila today.

To a certain extent, the military victory of the Liberation Army against the Spanish greatly improved the social status of the Chinese in Manila.

The victory of the Liberation Army showed the Spaniards that the Chinese are also very capable of fighting. If you push the opponent hard, a second Liberation Army might appear.

A Chinese restaurant in the Chinese community in Jiannei.

The aroma of wine and meat in the restaurant is fragrant, and there are all well-dressed and wealthy businessmen coming and going.

Sitting in the window seats on the second floor were several tall men with rough, dark-red skin and enlarged pores like orange peels.

On the table were several jars of fine wine, a roast chicken, and a large pot of oily stew.

They eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine from big bowls!

Very carefree and unrestrained!

Regardless of their behavior or appearance, these people look like men running business at sea.

Their skin has a typical look blown by the sea breeze.

That is, a merchant and a pirate!

Maritime merchants and pirates in this era were inseparable.

When meeting at sea, if the other party's ship is taller than yours and has more cannons than yours, then you are a serious maritime merchant.

But if there are many people in my square cannon...

Sorry, I think the Dragon King in the sea is a little hungry. For the sake of peace and stability on the sea, I have to say sorry to you.

Maritime traders and pirates generally work seamlessly together without any problems.

"Boss, I've found out everything!"

Just as everyone was eating and drinking, a young man dressed in the same style ran in fiercely.

As soon as he ran to the table, he saw the food on the table. His eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up a big chicken leg and started eating.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the chicken legs are just for you. Tell me slowly, what happened?"

The leader of the crowd spoke.

The sound is rich and full of magnetism.

This man's skin was rough and dark red, but his appearance was unexpectedly good.

He has a square face with a slight beard on his lower chin. He looks very elegant. The clothes he wears are round-collared robes, a typical businessman dress.

After finishing the chicken legs, the young man picked up a bowl from the table and poured himself a large bowl of wine.

Although his appearance is still a bit immature, the aura of a sea hero cannot be concealed.

The leader asked.

"Xiao Qi, tell me what happened, what is going on in Manila?"

After eating and drinking, when the boss asked, the young man wiped his mouth and said.

"Today, I really heard something strange!"

"Damn it, the red-haired ghosts in Manila have suffered a big loss at the hands of us Chinese."

"Thirty months ago, there was a miner named Zhu Hongyu. Unable to be bullied by the red-haired supervisors, he claimed to be a member of the Ming Dynasty clan. He led a group of Chinese miners to revolt. They claimed to be the Liberation Army. They wanted to overthrow the red-haired workers and expel the Tatars to restore China.

.”

"Unexpectedly, they really made it happen!"

"After the Liberation Army revolted, they first went to work at the Dalun Mountain Mine, killing and capturing five or six hundred red-haired men, and then led them into the mountains of northern Luzon."

"Some time ago, the Governor-General's Office sent people into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Liberation Army. A total of thousands of people were mobilized, including 1,230 real red-haired soldiers."

"As a result, not one of these thousands of people came out of the mountain."

"No, the news of the defeat came back yesterday. Everything is in chaos at the Governor's Mansion. The families of the red-haired soldiers who died in the mountains are making a fuss in front of the Governor's Mansion."

Zeng Canghai touched his chin and fell into deep thought. A smile appeared on his face and he spoke.

"Haha, that's interesting!"

Zeng Canghai lived at sea for most of his life. Following Zheng Zhilong, he fought against the Dutch and the British. Following the Zheng surname, he fought against the Qing Tatars and became a traitor.

He served as a bandit on the sea and as an officer in the Ming Dynasty.

Now he works alone and lives a happy life at sea with his fleet.

Over the years, he has fought against red-haired soldiers many times, so he knows how powerful the red-haired soldiers are.

The red-haired soldiers are short in stature, but they are very proficient in using firearms, and they are also very brave in fighting in gangs.

It is really not easy for the Liberation Army to defeat more than a thousand red-haired soldiers in one battle.

You know, the Dutch only had more than a thousand red-haired soldiers in the big city of Geranje.

But with these more than a thousand red-haired soldiers, Mr. Guo Xing did not dare to attack Relanja City rashly and take back the entire Dajuan Island.

Although the Dutch Red Hair and the Spanish Red Hair are basically two countries, their military combat effectiveness is definitely different.

But if you compare it horizontally, you can also know how powerful the Liberation Army is.

Xiao Qi asked with curiosity on his face.

"Boss, do you think this Zhu Hongyu is really a member of the Ming Dynasty's clan?"

Zeng Canghai shook his head and said.

"Hard to say!"

"There were many clans in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Jiashen Year, countless people have gone to Southeast Asia to avoid trouble. Who can say for sure?"
