In the entire Luzon Island, Manila, the most prosperous city, was devastated because of Wang Ce's order.
Tortoiseshell City mobilized 1,500 musketeers, and there were 2,500 musketeers in Manila. In addition, merchants armed more than 1,000 people, and nearly 4,000 troops were enough to rule the city.
First, they interrogated the indigenous captive soldiers and killed nearly 30,000 soldiers and their families. The civilians in the city chose to hide at home. Then they attacked the Arab merchants, because the Arab merchants were instigating this massacre of the Han people, otherwise the King of Luzon
How dare you take action?
According to the later administrative divisions of the Philippines, the most powerful one at this time was the Sulu Sultanate.
This country was founded by the Arab businessman Sayyid Abu Bakr and occupies Mindanao, Palawan and all the small islands around the Sulu Sea. Under the influence of the Sulu Sultanate, the entire Philippine Islands are rapidly greening and continue to
Attack the pagan forces.
How powerful is the Sulu Kingdom?
Historically, Portugal has been operating in Southeast Asia for decades, but was blocked by the Sulu Kingdom from continuing to expand eastward. Although Spain destroyed the Luzon Kingdom and its islands, it still could not devour the Sulu Kingdom. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Americans drove Spain away, and many
The first expedition also failed to capture Sulu. In the end, the United States chose to negotiate with Sulu and allowed the Sulu people to self-govern, but it was nominally a U.S. colony. World War I was over. The United States had been operating the Philippines for 21 years, but it still had to continue to send armed immigrants to these islands.
In this time and space, the Ming Dynasty Navy continued to carry out armed colonization in surrounding areas with Singapore and Malaysia as the center. When the sphere of influence reached a certain extent, the cost of colonial rule increased rapidly, and a lot of energy was required to suppress the indigenous uprisings.
Under such circumstances, there was no spare power to attack the Sulu Kingdom, but the Sulu Kingdom secretly supported the surrounding forces and caused trouble for the Ming Dynasty Navy from time to time. The main reason was that the Ming Dynasty Navy blocked the westward spice route, and the Sulu Kingdom mainly relied on spices.
trade products, the commercial conflicts between the two sides have intensified to the level of war.
Including this massacre of Han people in Luzon, there are also shadows of the Sulu Kingdom.
Wang Ce killed all the Arab merchants in Manila and robbed various goods worth more than 300,000 taels of silver.
Finally, he finally started to attack the indigenous civilians.
First, the surviving Han people were asked to identify the indigenous people who participated in the attack on them, and then they were captured and interrogated. Under severe torture, several confessions were made from one person and several from each family, and the trial directly turned into a geometric mathematical problem.
After half a month of enforcing the law like this, Xu Weixue came to report: "Sir, the riot of the indigenous civilians has been suppressed!"
Wang Ce asked: "How many people have been killed these days?"
Xu Weixue said: "From the royal family to soldiers and their families, to Arab businessmen and civilians, nearly 60,000 people have been killed, and more than 20,000 young women have been detained. This time to suppress the riot, thousands more were killed, and aliens in the city
There are only 20,000 to 30,000 civilians left."
Wang Ce couldn't help but trembled, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "For those who survive, ask them to change their surnames to Han Chinese and give up their belief in the Green Religion to survive. Anyone who doesn't follow will be killed!"
"Yes." Xu Weixue cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Historically, Spain also liked to do this. In just a few decades, Catholicism became the mainstream faith in Luzon.
Wang Ce added: "Gather the merchants in the city and I will declare the founding of the country."
A few days later, representatives of the Xu family, the Lin family, the Chen family, the Li family, the Zhang family and other maritime merchants collectively came to the Luzon Palace to meet with Wang Ce.
Everyone was cautious and respectful, and they were all frightened by Wang Ce's cold-blooded methods.
Wang Ce saw their expressions were different and asked, "Are you complaining that I killed too much?"
"I don't dare." Everyone replied quickly.
One of the old men named Li gritted his teeth and said: "Well done, half of my four sons, three daughters, more than a dozen grandchildren, as well as my daughter-in-law and son-in-law died at the hands of Luzon barbarians. You are still too kind.
, in my opinion, they should all be killed and replaced with new species!"
A representative of the Chen family said: "Killing them all is not a good idea. The city is mostly empty, many businesses are unavailable, the feces and urine are accumulated and the smell is terrible, and even vegetables are unavailable."
This is true. The killings that lasted for more than half a month brought the whole of Manila to a near standstill.
The surrounding grain, vegetables, and fruits can no longer be transported to the city for sale, and merchants can no longer purchase goods for overseas trade. The place has almost become a ghost town, not to mention the streets, and even the docks are empty of people.
Moreover, many specialties in Luzon need to be transported from various parts of the jurisdiction to Manila through the administrative and commercial systems. However, as the killings expanded, the government was completely shut down, and the commercial transportation system was also damaged, making it difficult to recover in a short time.
.
Although the Han merchants were relieved, they were really unwilling to kill again. Who would do the work after killing people?
Let's put it this way, there is no decent resistance force in the entire Luzon country. But Wang Ce cannot rule the local area. He must use political, military and immigration means to restore the administrative system of various places step by step. This will take at least more than half a year. If the recovery is not effective, even
It will take several years.
That month, Wang Ce announced the founding of the country. The name of the country was still "Luzon" and the capital was still located in Manila.
Manila comes from the transliteration of Tagalog, meaning "the land of indigo". Wang Ce didn't like this and ordered a collection of new capital names.
A businessman who believed in Buddhism said: "In the human world, there are nine mountains and eight seas, which are called the world of Sumeru. There are big continents in the four directions, called the four continents of Sumeru. The continent in the south is called Jambudvipa, and its land is seven thousand kilometers wide.
Yujana is wide in the north and narrow in the south. The people of Jambudvipa are brave and strong in memory, can create karma, diligently practice the holy life, and the Buddha emerged from his land. The city of Manila can be renamed the city of Jambudvipa!"
Continent.)
A merchant who believed in Taoism said: "Nanyue Changgao Mountain is in the South China Sea, the capital of the Red Emperor. Yanzhou is also in the South China Sea, and the area is two thousand miles away. Why not change Luzon to Yanzhou, and Manila to Chicheng, and the mountains to the north of Manila are the longest."
Mountain."
Wang Ce felt speechless. In China, Confucian scholars cited scriptures for naming, but when overseas, they could only use Buddhist and Taoist legends as a reference.
Why not offend both Buddhism and Taoism? If one says Jambudvipa and the other says Yanzhou, then let’s use their homophonic pronunciation and change Manila to “Yanzhou”.
"Yan Gui... If the princes do something unjust, they will be punished by envoys as a sign of auspiciousness." - "Zhou Li·Kao Gong Ji·Jade Man·Zheng Xuan's Notes".
Yan is a sharp weapon made of jade, which serves as a talisman to combat injustice.
With "Yanzhou City" as the capital, he conquered unjust countries and laid the foundation for the country's bravery and orthodoxy.
The country's name cannot be changed for the time being, and it must be called Lu Song, so as not to irritate the Ming monarchs and ministers.
Wang Ce's founding ceremony was very miserable because he killed too many people and there were not many people left in the city. He had to always be on guard against riots by the survivors.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he immediately sent troops to Balaoyou, later known as Balayan in the Philippines, to capture the last port city of Luzon and control Balayan Bay with armed merchant ships.
As for the three peninsulas extending to the south of Luzon Island, they do not belong to the Luzon Kingdom, but are three independent small countries. These three countries formed an alliance and were collectively known as the "Three Islands", also known as the "Three Islands", and were called "Three Islands" by the Ming Dynasty.
"Three Island Kingdom". The United Nations power of the three countries is not inferior to that of Luzon Kingdom, and it specializes in gold!
The entire central and eastern part of Luzon Island is a foreign land, which is the territory of the headhunters.
After Wang Ce took control of Balaya Bay, he did not plan to send any more troops, otherwise he would declare war with other countries. He would spend at least two years constantly immigrating to digest the existing territory and consolidate his rule on Luzon Island.
The immigrants were not short of money. In Manila alone, the goods they snatched were worth millions of taels of silver.
A small number of them come from civilians and Arab merchants, and most of them come from the Royal Palace of Luzon. There are a large number of gold artifacts in the palace [Biquge www.bequge.xyz]. After all, Luzon is rich in gold.
Let's put it this way, when the Portuguese captured the Royal Palace of Malacca, the Portuguese-Indian governor plundered dozens of tons of gold, but all of it sank on the way back to the sea. Compared with the wealth of Malacca, the King of Luzon still seemed too poor.
