There are a lot of Chinese people in Manila. Although Max hates them, he will not be stupid.

This incident was actually directed by him and had been planning for a long time. When news of the Battle of Penghu came, he first ordered the Chinese living in Manila to hand over their weapons.

The so-called weapons, including firearms, and all items made of iron.

When the Chinese heard that the Ming Navy was victorious, they naturally no longer willing to be oppressed by the Dutch. Once all the weapons were handed over, they did not even have the power to protect themselves.

The Chinese people resisted vigorously, which led to the first conflict.

Finally, the Dutch weapon collection operation ended at the heavy price of hundreds of Chinese casualties, which also became the rhetoric that Max occupied public opinion.

After that conflict, Max secretly ordered officials from other provinces in Luzon to mobilize local indigenous peoples, and use the new and old hatreds between the Japanese and Chinese to gather Japanese overseas leaders and instigate forces from many parties to fight against the large number of Ming immigrants.

After making preparations, Max began to create the illusion that the Chinese were the first to launch a riot.

He forced the Chinese in Manila to leave their original residence and live in designated areas on the grounds of non-Christianity.

Dutch soldiers set up fences around the areas where Chinese live, intending to carry out military control.

However, in this process, the Chinese were extremely well-behaved and did not resist at all, which left Max without any excuse to take action.

However, soon, Max, who could not bear it, once again used religious reasons to expel tens of thousands of Chinese who had resisted the most fiercely, on a large scale, and went to colonies of various provinces.

This move especially made the Dutch East India Company Council, which was interested in restarting negotiations with the Ming Dynasty at that time, dissatisfied with the Dutch East India Company Council, but due to the relationship between Max and Prince William, no one said anything directly.

In fact, some Japanese and Luzon natives, especially the rogues among them, have long been very jealous of the Chinese's superior status in Manila's economic life and the huge wealth they have, and have a serious and distorted anti-China mentality.

The Spanish army used to often clash with the Chinese, but since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the West and the West, the local Spanish governor was ordered to be replaced by Philip IV, and the newly-up governor was more familiar with the Ming Dynasty.

The Spanish Navy no longer oppressed the Chinese in Manila, and regarded the Chinese as legal foreign citizens of the Spanish Empire.

Now Spain is defeated in the Spice Islands and has to give up control of Manila.

Many people are eager to expel the Dutch navy of the Spanish army and engage in large-scale conflicts against the Chinese in order to catch fish in troubled waters and seize wealth through chaos.

So, shortly after the news of the Battle of Penghu came, some Japanese people began to publicly curse the Chinese as pigs, dogs and traitors in Manila.

Therefore, the Japanese and Chinese who were already incompatible with each other quickly had continuous conflicts.

Not long after, even many local Luzons who were pennilessly exploited by the Spanish participated and turned their hatred to the Chinese, believing that it was the settlement of the Chinese, which affected their original lives.

As the occupier of Manila, the Dutch navy soldiers had a very ambiguous attitude at this time.

Not only did they not stop such incidents in time, they joined the ranks of rebels, wantonly humiliating and abused overseas Chinese.

And "rumors" soon spread in the Dutch Navy, saying that Manila Governor Max had asked the company's board of directors to retaliate against the Chinese after the failure of the Penghu naval battle.

And Max wanted to destroy all the Chinese here and avenge his younger brother.

......

The royal city of Manila is in chaos.

In the palace, the Luzon King Sulu became the puppet king of the Spaniards in the area early in the morning. After the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Spaniards treated the Chinese more friendly, but the same was true for the Luzon locals.

After Spain left, they thought they were rescued, but they welcomed even more sinister Dutch colonists.

The Spanish could still allow the Luzon Palace to have local guards on the facade, which was remarkable, while the Dutch did not even leave this "fig leaf" for them.

According to Sulu's recollection, the Dutch who had just entered Manila did not look like elegant gentlemen from the civilized world at all, but like barbarians who had just landed in the Americas.

This is the fact that these European colonists who claimed to be civilized society did dirty things that even the barbarians did.

The Spanish are not much cleaner than the Dutch.

In the Manila Palace, there are five steps and ten steps, and there are all soldiers of the Dutch Navy, and Max's eyes are everywhere.

This is not only the Dutch Governor Max, who is more outrageous than what the former Spanish Governor did.

The Dutch Federal Parliament fully granted the East India Company the right to colonize, mint coins and hire mercenaries to fight in the Far East, only to use its monopoly on Far East trade.

Under this situation, the colonial governors of the Far East were like overseas kings who could form fleets without reporting on military operations.

In May this year, Max, who had just become the governor of Manila, had his first thing done to run to the palace excitedly and forcibly possessed the princess of the Luzon Kingdom.

Until now, none of Sulu's princesses have been defiled by him.

When Su Lu thought of this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. Luzon, who had become a tribute country in the Ming Dynasty as early as the Wanli period, was not protected as he deserved.

In fact, before Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Dynasty was also fighting in party struggles, and it was difficult to protect itself from the disaster of East and West, and the tribute system in the Far East had long collapsed completely.

When he heard that the Queen of the Penghu Naval Battle fleet was defeated and the Luo Fu fleet was wiped out, the happiest ones were Su Lu and his princesses.

This proves one thing: The Ming Dynasty is about to regain control of the southeastern waters and establish a hegemonic system in the Far East, which is just around the corner!

This system is tantamount to the last straw for small countries like them.

Some people are happy and some are angry. It happened that Max, the Governor of Manila, was the one who was very angry because Schiroke, the deputy captain of the Rofo fleet, was his younger brother.

The news that Luo Fu's fleet was completely wiped out completely shattered his dream of saving his younger brother.

"King, take action, the Dutch has taken action!" A servant ran over and said with fear on his face, "The Dutch has taken action against the Chinese!"

"Are Max crazy? How dare you attack the Chinese at this time?" Su Lu was shocked at first when he heard the news, and then laughed:

"Go on, do it quickly!"

The princess was puzzled and asked quickly, but Su Lu looked at the harbor governor's office with three Dutch flags floating in the distance, and said viciously:

"Let Max take action. Once he takes action, he will definitely attract revenge from the Ming Navy."

"In the Far East, except for the Ming Dynasty, no other country can resist the colonial offensive of those Westerners. We can only unite under the banner of the Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, he came to the uppermost palace of the palace and looked down. The scene in front of him made him open his mouth unconsciously.

At this moment, in Manila, there were rolling black smoke rising in the city, and there were chaotic shouts everywhere. Suddenly, a shaking sound shocked the entire royal city.

However, a group of fearless Chinese people rushed into the port, killed several Dutch naval soldiers, seized a moored Garen sailboat, and fired a shot at the port governor's office.

You can imagine how rough such a hasty shooting is.

Although the shelling failed, it still caused Max to run out of the office in a daze, cursing that he wanted to kill all the Chinese.

This shock marked the beginning of the Manila Chinese massacre that shocked the Ming and the Dutch East India Company Council soon after, and kicked off.
