Here in Manila, Old Chen and his family were tied firmly to wooden stakes. Firewood had been set up around them, and they were poured with oil, waiting for the order to be burned to death.
In the neighborhood not far away, Ming people were huddled in every corner, unkempt and disheveled, like frightened birds, looking at the Malays and black dwarves around them with fearful eyes.
"Haha~ cool~"
Not long after, Lapu walked out of Old Chen's home with a smile on his face, and slowly came to Old Chen.
"Tsk tsk, you Mingren women still have taste~"
"If you had agreed to my proposal of marriage, you wouldn't have been like this."
Lapu looked at Old Man Chen's scarlet eyes, and he was so happy that he wanted to laugh.
"Beast~Beast~"
"You will be punished~"
Old man Chen was about to cry but had no tears, so he could only curse and curse continuously.
"Louder, louder~"
"If you don't speak louder, how can your God hear you?"
Not only did Rapp not show any signs of anger, but he was smiling all over his face, pretending not to hear clearly.
"retribution?"
"Where's the retribution?"
"He said there would be retribution for us."
Lapu smiled and said to those around him, which immediately made those around him laugh happily.
"The sky has no eyes~"
Old man Chen looked north in the direction of Daming and couldn't help but cursed angrily.
Then soon his eyes widened, because in the middle of Manila Bay, he saw a mighty and huge fleet. At a glance, these ships were clearly Ming ships, and the flags flying on them looked like that.
familiar.
"Light a fire and burn him to death~"
"I would like to see if these Ming people dare to resist us in the future."
Lapu looked at Old Man Chen and said harshly.
There were still some bloody people among the Ming people, but not many, but they still caused some casualties. This made Lapu very angry and decided to burn Old Chen and his family to teach these Ming people a lesson.
"Boom~"
Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the sea of Manila Bay.
Then, before anyone could react, continuous roars continued, and at the same time, above their heads, there were the whistling sounds of artillery shells.
"Boom~"
Not far away, in the neighborhood of Malays and black dwarves, cannonballs fell one after another, instantly making big holes in the houses, and at the same time making big holes in the streets. Some of them were unlucky.
His flesh and blood flew everywhere after being hit by cannonballs one after another.
"what happened?"
The Malays and the black dwarves were dumbfounded. How could such a good thing make such a loud noise, and at the same time, cannonballs fell from the sky, and these cannonballs seemed to have eyes.
Among the crowd of Malays and black dwarves, the streets fell, and with the roaring sound, the whole Manila was completely in chaos.
"Sea~Sea~"
Finally, someone discovered the huge fleet at sea. Hundreds of large ships lined up on the sea, and the amazing momentum overwhelmed them instantly.
On the big ships at the front, thick white smoke kept rising, and huge roars came from these big ships. At the same time, cannonballs kept falling on Manila.
"Who are they?"
Rapp looked back at the sea and was dumbfounded when he saw the huge fleet.
He often interacted with Ming people and acted as translator for Ming people. He quickly recognized that these ships came from Ming Dynasty.
"The Ming Dynasty's ship!"
"How could there be so many open boats?"
Then he was dumbfounded. There were too many ships on the sea, hundreds of large ships, and if counted as small ships, there were thousands of them. The entire sea was covered by these ships.
In the past, open boats would come here from time to time to do business, but the scale was usually very small, often only a few boats, and most of the boats were not too big, and were much smaller than the boats on the sea in front of them.
However, at this time, the ships on the sea were not only big, but also numerous in number. The vast fleet was like a dark cloud, pressing up towards Manila.
"Boom~"
Wave after wave of cannonballs were pouring towards Manila as if they were free. At the same time, the ship was getting closer and closer, and everyone could clearly see Akito on the ship.
"Haha~haha~"
"My Ming army has arrived~"
"My tomorrow's army has arrived, you damn beasts, none of you can even hope to survive~"
Old man Chen, who was tied to the wooden stake, looked at the vast fleet of ships on the sea. The huge roar was like a life-saving straw, and he couldn't help laughing happily.
Hearing what Old Chen said, Old Chen's family members also looked towards the sea one after another. When they saw the Ming people on the boat, they were overjoyed. They were saved.
On the Taishan, Du Mingen looked serious and dark. Through the telescope, he had clearly seen everything that happened in Mingren Street.
The whole neighborhood was in a mess, with blood stains everywhere. Some Akira fell in a pool of blood, while others were hiding in corners with disheveled hair and shivering; crying women and children, with helpless and desperate eyes.
All of this made him clenched his fists.
"Don't stop, give me a hard blow, and raze all the buildings and places that were not built by me to the ground."
Du Mingen said harshly.
The closer you get, the clearer you can see, and the angrier you become.
At this time, not only Du Mingen, but everyone on the ship who saw this scene couldn't help clenching their fists. Some people took out their weapons, preparing to kill them as soon as they docked.
"Boom~Boom~"
The sound of the Miyun cannon was deafening. As it got closer to Manila, the huge roar resounded throughout Manila and both sides of the Pasig River like a thunderbolt from the blue.
The shells seemed to have eyes. Wherever they passed, houses fell down one after another, and raging flames began to ignite. In the blink of an eye, the entire Manila was in chaos.
Countless Malays and black dwarves kept running away like headless flies, looking at the mighty fleet coming over on the sea with horrified eyes.
In the Manila Castle, Lagan, the ruler of Luzon, looked at the huge fleet on the sea, listened to the huge roar, and looked at the cannonballs falling from the sky.
The solid castles were constantly shaking due to the terrifying cannonballs, and some slightly taller buildings were directly knocked down by the cannonballs.
"what happened?"
Lagan was dumbfounded. He was enjoying a good life, but suddenly he was bombarded. He saw his beautiful castle in a mess. Looking at the Manila Bay Area, it was almost turned into ruins.
.
"Hey~"
A cannonball roared over and landed not far from Lagan.
In an instant, the castle shook, and blood and flesh spattered on his body. Several of the guards around him were killed by cannonballs at this moment.
One moment he was a living person, and the next moment his whole body was covered in blood and flesh. Not even a complete piece of wreckage could be found. He didn't know where he had flown to.
"Akito~"
"Akito is here to kill~"
At this time, some of his subordinates came over in a panic and shouted hurriedly.
"People from the Ming Dynasty?"
When Lagan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. Looking carefully at the mighty fleet on the sea, there is no doubt that Ming people are indeed Ming people. Only Ming people can build such huge ships and such beautiful ships. They Lu
The Song people could not build such large ships.
Moreover, it is said that the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful and very rich. It seemed that only the Ming Dynasty could possess such terrifying artillery.
"It's over~"
"They must have seen what happened in Akito's neighborhood, so they opened fire on us."
Then Lagan seemed to remember something, and suddenly his whole vision went dark.
He finally understood the reason why Mingren, who had always been very friendly to them in Luzon, suddenly attacked them. He must have seen everything that happened in Mingren's neighborhood.
"Send someone immediately to ask them for peace~"
Without even thinking about it, Lagan quickly roared.
The only thing that can be hoped for now is that the Ming Dynasty will be more lenient towards him, because Luzon and the Ming Dynasty have been friendly for generations and often pay tribute. After all, Luzon is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
"Up~"
The fleet finally approached the shore and anchored in the simple port of Manila Bay.
As soon as the ship moored, Du Mingen waved his hand, and groups of Ming troops aboard each large ship quickly rushed towards Mingren Street.
At the same time, the crew members on a ship, some of whom could not stand it, also held swords and rushed towards Akito Street.
The Ming troops in the fleet were originally used to deal with Japanese pirates and pirates. Unexpectedly, they played a role here. These Ming troops were wearing armor and holding sharp blades. Some were even equipped with the earliest flintlock muskets.
"Kill all these barbarians and natives~"
Du Mingen's eyes were full of anger and he issued the coldest order.
"The location here in Manila is really good. This bay is a natural high-quality harbor. The terrain near the mouth of the river is very open and flat. Plus, it has a certain foundation. It is very suitable for building a colonial city like Ryukyu City!"
Du Mingen's killing intent was overwhelming, but Lin Shuhong on the side was carefully observing the entire Manila with a telescope. Soon he couldn't help but nod, this is a good place.
"Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse, so we just happened to meet each other. This Luzon country is so bold that they dare to kill people from the Ming Dynasty. I think they are tired of living."
Lin Shuhong remembered what Liu Jin told him when he came here.
The geographical location of Luzon is really important. You can go to Annam-Siam, Malacca and other areas to the west. You can also go to the Indian Ocean through the Malacca area, and you can go to Australia to the south.
Such an important place, there is no doubt that it has become the most important point in Liu Jin's global colonization plan, so this place must be captured.
At least, Liu Jin wanted to establish a series of colonial points in Luzon and Sulu, so as to facilitate the subsequent advancement of the Age of Discovery.
Before coming, Liu Jin had already made it clear to Lin Shuhong and Du Mingen that when they arrived in the Nanyang region, they could ignore everything else. Here in Luzon, they must first seize a stronghold.
Building a city similar to Ryukyu City here in Luzon will facilitate subsequent trade exchanges, ship exchanges, etc., and it will also make it easier to carry out the next plan.
For this reason, Liu Jin even asked the fleet to carry a lot of cement. With enough cement, a small castle can be built in a short time. With the city out, plus artillery, etc., it will naturally
Can stand firm.
The early colonial activities of Europeans basically relied on this model, establishing colonial strongholds in various places around the world. It did not require too many manpower to colonize large areas, and there was a steady stream of plunder from these areas.
Huge wealth.
Now the Ming Dynasty has just begun to buy into the global maritime age. Liu Jin knows very well that the Ming Dynasty itself does not actually have the power to expand externally, and the germination and development of capitalism has not yet formed a strong enough force.
Therefore, if you want to promote external development, the only driving force is wealth, gold, jewelry, ivory, precious wood, etc., as long as it can bring wealth.
It is very good to learn from the early colonial methods of Europeans. It requires low investment, significant results, and high returns. It will definitely attract more people to continue to invest in it.
As for whether this method would be cruel, bloody, or affect the image of the Ming Dynasty, this was no longer considered by Liu Jin. Anyway, he made money, and Emperor Hongzhi also took the lion's share.
Groups of Ming troops set foot on the land of Luzon. The originally fierce Malays and black dwarves immediately fled like frightened birds.
A few people who were not afraid of death actually dared to rush over, and the result naturally needs no further explanation.
"Haha~haha~"
"My great tomorrow's army is coming, my great tomorrow's army is coming~"
"You beasts, don't even think about escaping, don't even think about escaping~"
Seeing the Ming army approaching, Old Chen laughed happily and shouted excitedly.
"Old man~ are you okay?"
Soon, the Ming army came here. After hearing what Old Man Chen said, they quickly asked.
"I'm fine, kill these beasts quickly, kill these beasts quickly, don't let any of them go~"
"They are all heartless beasts~"
Old man Chen kept roaring, and soon someone untied his rope. The whole family hugged each other and kept crying.
Then he quickly thought of his little daughter and hurried home again. When he saw the dead Chen Li, he burst into tears again.
With the arrival of the Ming army, the Malays and black dwarves in Mingren's neighborhood were quickly wiped out. Mingren, who had escaped from death, looked at his home with dull eyes, and then it soon burst into flames.
Roaring angrily, he picked up his weapons and led the Ming army towards the neighborhood of Malays and black dwarves to kill them.
