At this time, the statistics of the battle results also came out.
In the attack on Dongfan, the losses of the imperial officers and soldiers were basically caused by the artillery battle on the Neijiang River in the Taiwan Strait. The other small part was caused by the attack on the fort of Relanjia Castle.
As for the battle in Manila, in terms of naval battle, it was a one-sided battle, with basically no losses. I originally thought that attacking the city of Manila would definitely result in greater losses. Unexpectedly, an earth dragon turned over and caused chaos in the city. There were people in advance.
The prepared soldiers of the imperial court took the opportunity to attack the city. Afterwards, statistics showed that the losses were even smaller than during the Eastern Fan War.
On the Spanish side, of course, the entire army was annihilated. Compared with Dongfan, it is a pity that the Dutch governor in Dongfan was captured alive and sent to the capital for trial. However, the Spanish governor in Luzon, Chakun,
It was suicide.
The total number of captured Spanish prisoners, including the wounded, was more than 1,500. As for the indigenous people, including the Japanese living in Manila, the total number was more than 2,700.
Early the next morning, the entire army gathered outside Manila, led by the liberated Luzon Ming people, and went to the mass grave where the Luzon Ming people were buried to pay homage to those massacred Luzon Ming people.
The location is a barren mountain outside Manila. There are several mass graves here, all of which are Ming people who were massacred by the Spaniards and natives. Of course, there are other places, but the scale here is the largest.
The surviving people of Luzon Ming Dynasty all threw themselves on the graves and cried loudly.
Although there are tens of thousands of Ming people in Luzon, most of them know each other while living in a foreign country.
However, now there is a separation between yin and yang, and my mind is filled with the fear of those days of massacre, the separation of life and death!
They just didn't expect that one day, the imperial court would send a large army to make the decision for them.
"Did you see it in Tianzhiling? The imperial court sent a large army to help us take revenge!"
"Rest in peace, there will be no more Spaniards in Luzon from now on! No need to worry anymore!"
"..."
After sweeping the tombs, Luzon Expeditionary Force Supervisor Lu Jiude, Commander Zheng Zhibao, Deputy General Zeng Ying and others also paid homage to the souls buried in foreign lands on behalf of the court.
Lu Jiude, who was standing at the front, raised his voice and said sharply to the tomb: "Long live the Lord's purpose, I am the king and father of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I must make decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty. All the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where they are,
Wherever anyone dares to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, ask me first if I agree! Anyone who dares to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty will be punished with tenfold revenge! I want everyone in the world to know that all the people of the Ming Dynasty are protected by me!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around suddenly and shouted loudly: "Come on, according to the decree of the Ming Emperor, we will pay with blood!"
When the soldiers of the imperial court who had been waiting for a long time heard this, they responded in unison, which shocked the whole country.
Then, two Ming army soldiers led a former executioner to the grave, ordered them to kneel down, and then stabbed them.
After killing one row, another row is moved up.
The Spaniards, natives, and Japanese who were killed had all been hungry for a day. Some of them were afraid, some wanted to resist, and some begged for mercy, but it was all in vain. One by one, their heads fell in front of the grave, and their blood
Flowing all over the ground.
The Portuguese who were watching, watching row after row of Spaniards being executed, were very shocked: from now on, whoever dares to bully overseas Ming people must think about the same consequences as the Spaniards in front of them!
When the Indians accompanying the army saw it, they were also very excited.
Their hometown is still being colonized by the Spaniards, and no one knows how many compatriots are tortured to death by the Spaniards every day. Since the Spaniards arrived in their hometown, no one knows how many Indians have died in their hands. However, they
He has been impunity and continues to oppress the Indians.
If the Indians are Ming people, and the Ming Emperor is also the Indian emperor, then they can also be protected by the Ming Emperor. I just heard that as long as they are Ming people, they will be protected by the Ming Emperor no matter where they are!
Thinking about this, they all made up their minds to get married.
That's right, the Indians are all Yin merchants, and the Yin merchants are all Chinese. As long as they are Chinese, they are all Ming people, and they are all subjects of the Ming Emperor!
At this moment, it goes without saying that the Spaniards, the indigenous people living in Manila basically participated in the previous massacres of the Ming people in Luzon, and the Japanese also participated. These people were all sacrificed in blood.
Thousands of heads were piled up in front of several mass graves to form the Jingguan. Let everyone see that this is the result of massacre of Akito!
No matter how far you go, you still have to pay the price!
It’s not that I don’t report it, the time has not yet come!
Blood debt must be paid with blood, keep your word!
That's it, it's not over yet.
In Luzon, the massacre of the Ming people was not limited to Manila alone. The tribes here, as long as they were close to the Spanish, had all participated in the massacre of the Ming people in Luzon.
Therefore, Zheng Zhibao issued an order to dispatch 30,000 troops in units of 1,000 people to launch an encirclement and suppression of the indigenous tribes in various places.
At the same time, an order was also issued that if other indigenous tribes that did not participate in the massacre of the Ming people assisted the imperial army in encircling and suppressing those indigenous tribes, they would become members of the Ming Dynasty from now on; if they did not assist the imperial army in encircling and suppressing those indigenous tribes, they would be regarded as enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
, also encircled and suppressed them;
The entire Luzon Island was shocked!
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was mostly tolerant towards foreigners. Even if something happened, if they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes and said a few nice words, they might let them go.
The first two times the Spaniards in Luzon massacred the Ming people, the Ming people said that these overseas Ming people were profiteers and that they deserved what they deserved. In other words, they just verbally condemned them with a few words, symbolically admitting their mistakes, and the matter was over.
Yes, this is the impression foreigners have of the Celestial Kingdom.
But now, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually sent so many troops across the ocean, killing for killing, blood for blood. Such iron-blooded methods had never been done before, and they were all frightened.
This time, the Ming Dynasty's army numbered about 40,000, which was far different from when Spain colonized Luzon, which had only about 2,000 at most. With such a powerful force, no tribe dared to go against the Ming Dynasty's soldiers.
Not to mention, the Earth Dragon's transformation greatly shocked the natives here. They all felt that the Ming Dynasty soldiers had the help of gods, and they dared not disobey the Ming Dynasty army.
No, the natives on the nearby islands all heard the news and came to vassal them.
Compared with the Western colonists who came from afar, the prestige of the Celestial Kingdom has always intimidated them. Now, after such a crusade against the Spanish in Luzon, it has strengthened their deterrence.
When the Kingdom of Heaven no longer only cares about face, but will fight for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Kingdom of Heaven will definitely be their honor in every aspect!
Therefore, in the following period, with the assistance of local indigenous people, the Ming army encircled and suppressed villages that had participated in the massacre of Luzon Ming people one after another.
As long as they participated in the massacre of the Luzon Ming people, they would not hesitate to take them all to the graves of the local Luzon Ming people, their heads would fall to the ground, and blood sacrifices would be made to the souls of those who died unjustly.
Those who were not directly involved were all beaten into prisoners and mined to atone for their sins. As for the period of atonement, it was determined according to the degree of their previous oppression of the Ming people in Luzon. The minimum was one year and the maximum was ten years.
The reason for giving a ten-year upper limit is to prevent these free laborers from becoming desperate and disobeying discipline. In fact, it is difficult to survive for ten years!
As for the location of the mine, Emperor Chongzhen had already given the location, but it was not given to Zheng Zhibao, but to the supervisor Lu Jiude.
Here in Luzon, according to later records, the reserves of gold and copper mines are among the top in the world. There are also other minerals, including non-metallic minerals, which are a huge treasure. However, many mines All on other islands.
The mining location given by Emperor Chongzhen was just an easy-to-exploit copper mine on the island. All the prisoners were taken to mine.
As for the tribes that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and performed meritorious services, the Ming army also resettled them.
On Luzon Island, the best territory was naturally owned by the Spaniards and their vassals. Now, these territories are naturally gone.
The best part of the land was designated as official land, followed by Luzon Ming people, and finally the dependent indigenous people.
The army is stationed in Luzon. It is definitely not cost-effective if logistical materials, especially grain and grass, are transported from China. Nanyang itself has three crops a year, so it naturally has to be solved on the spot.
By the time these arrangements were made, it was already the beginning of the nineteenth year of Chongzhen.
Zheng Zhibao, Lu Jiude and others jointly wrote a memorial to report the victory, describing the situation in Luzon in detail, and then sent it to the capital together with the remaining top Spanish officers.
Naturally, the news that the Ming army was stationed in Luzon slowly spread throughout Southeast Asia during this period of time.
The main reason is that the Nanyang side is full of islands and not connected by land, so the spread is slower.
However, every time it spreads to a place, it will shock that place. It can be predicted that with the development of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Luzon, the distribution of forces in Nanyang will inevitably be re-divided.
………………………
Let's talk about the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the 18th year of Chongzhen's reign, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, in a heavy snowstorm, two sea ships slowly docked at the dock of Tianjin Port.
Groups of soldiers immediately disembarked from the ships and placed a seal of siege. At a glance, people knew that these two ships were from warships.
Outside the martial law line, a small number of dock workers and some businessmen looked at the people coming off the boat with curiosity: "Hey, look, the people who look like evil ghosts are Xiyi, right?"
"I've seen him in the south. He's from Xiyi."
"Everyone was taken into custody. Could it be that they were prisoners of the Dutch Empire?"
