Luzon is one of the ancient Philippines countries, located in Manila, Luzon.

In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the State of Luzon sent envoys to pay tribute. After the middle of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, internal conflicts in China intensified, and most of the people on the southeast coast lived in their land, and most of them reached tens of thousands of people.

In the middle of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yi, a native of Tong'an, reported that the sea organics are in the mountains, which are close to Fujian, and real estate gold can be taken, which is Luzon.

The Luzon Islands are divided into four parts: Luzon Island is to the north, Visayas Islands in the middle, Mindanao Islands to the south, and Sulu Islands to the southwest.

Today, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao have become Spanish colonies, with only the Sultanate of the Southwest Sulu and still maintaining an independent position.

Spain and Portugal were the first countries to start their voyages. The first generation of maritime overlords came to Luzon very early and completely occupied Luzon in 1671. It has been more than 70 years now.

However, the Spanish colonization method was relatively simple and rough. In general, they were digging silver from South America and then buying and buying all over the world. They did not develop colonies well, nor did they use the silver to invest in the domestic economy.

Therefore, the people in Spain are poor and the economy is messy, and the colonies are also the worst and most backward among the Western colonies.

Therefore, after several wars in Spain wiped out the national treasury. After the silver mines in South America were exhausted, national strength immediately declined. Instead, Britain, the Netherlands, France and other countries that earned Spanish silver received funds and gradually rose after they started.

Luzon For Spain, Luzon is just a stronghold for them to buy luxury goods from China and go back to enjoy after shipping silver from South America.

Spain did not want to build Luzon, otherwise, with the conditions of Luzon being close to China, its status should be greater than that of the Dutch Batavia, but now it has been colonized for more than 70 years, and its status is not even comparable to that of a high-ranking member.

At this time, although Spain controlled the entire Luzon Islands, the real stronghold of the Spaniards was actually the City of Manila.

When Zhao Ming went south, he had already found out that if he took Manila, Donghai Town could replace Spain and gain control of the Luzon Islands.

March 1654.

The land and water army of Donghai Town set sail from Dayuan Bay and sailed southward, passing through many small islands in Taiwan and northern Luzon, arrived in the northern Luzon Island, and landed near the later Lingatin Bay, planted the Sun and Moon Flag, called Beigang, and established a stronghold.

Zhao Ming's army rested in Beigang, and at the same time strictly ordered the soldiers to be unscrupulous. He promoted the landing of Donghai Town in Luzon in order to drive away the White Vandal ghosts and liberated Luzon from the cruel rule of Western colonists. At the same time, he protected and promoted Luzon, established a prosperous Greater Chinese civilization circle, and helped the people of Luzon bathe in advanced Celestial culture and economy, get out of barbarism and ignorance, and move towards civilization.

Before the Ming Dynasty, China has always been a superpower and was respected as the Heavenly Kingdom by small surrounding countries.

During this period, in the eyes of small neighboring countries and indigenous people, China was the America of later generations. Countless people were full of yearning for the Celestial Kingdom. Even the kings of small countries went to China to pay tribute. In the end, the king did not want to be the one and insisted on staying in China.

Later American imperialism relied on the two world wars and decades of Hollywood export of dish boiling culture to gain the status of Chinese culture at this time, and used the dish boiling culture to make trouble everywhere to achieve its own goals.

In Zhao Ming's view, China has such soft power and can be used entirely.

This will greatly reduce the resistance of Donghai Town to colonize overseas, and there will even countless overseas natives take the initiative to act as a leader to welcome Donghai Town to colonize the local area.

Spain's colonial rule in Luzon was quite cruel. It once massacred more than 20,000 Chinese people and carried out large-scale cleaning of local indigenous people.

As long as the native tribes on the island develop to a certain extent and pose a threat to the colonial authorities, the Spaniards will definitely take the initiative to defeat and destroy the native tribes.

The natives on the Luzon Archipelago were deeply suffering from the Spanish rule, so Donghai Town landed in Luzon, and launched a political proposal to protect and support Luzon, jointly establish a prosperous Greater Chinese civilization circle, and confront Western colonists, and immediately gained the support of the natives on the island.

Later generations, Japan was an evil country and suffered fierce resistance when it launched a war against China. However, when it implemented the southward strategy and attacked Nanyang, the people of various countries in Nanyang actually welcomed and supported Japan.

Because in their opinion, Japan did not come to invade them, but liberated them from the rule of Western colonists, leading the Yellow race to fight against the oppression and rule of the whites.

However, later they discovered that the Japanese were not stronger than the Western colonists, and even more cruel, so they began to resist Japan.

Donghai Town was naturally not Japan, but at this time, Donghai Town landed in Luzon, but for the local indigenous people, it was similar to the situation where Japan advanced southward. It soon gained the support of indigenous tribes in the northern part of Luzon. Even in the southwest Sulu Sultanate, the indigenous people on Borneo learned that the Celestial Army landed in Luzon and sent envoys to pay their respects.

Zhao Ming landed in northern Luzon and immediately alarmed the Spaniards in Manila. However, Spain and Donghai Town fought in northern Taiwan and were defeated by Donghai Town.

Nowadays, a few years have passed, and Spain's power in the Far East has never recovered. There are only more than 4,000 Spanish in Manila and are unable to go north to drive out the army of Donghai Town where Beigang is resting.

Seeing Donghai Town establishing a stronghold in the northern part of Luzon Island and a steady stream of materials transported from Taiwan to Beigang, the Spaniards began to feel anxious.

The indigenous tribes in northern Luzon defected to Donghai Town. Sulu Sultan sent envoys to pay homage to Zhao Ming, which made the Spaniards feel a huge threat.

In order to fight against Zhao Ming, the Spanish Governor sent people to Mexico and Batavia for help, while strengthening Manila's defense and preparing for a decisive battle.

The Mexican Governor's District is strong, with tens of thousands of Spaniards, but it is too far from Luzon and the distance cannot quench nearby thirst. However, after the Dutch in Batavia received a request for help, the fleet commander Jabko led the fleet to meet and fight a decisive battle with Donghai Town.

The original strategy of the Netherlands was to use senior officials to hold Zhao Ming back and then harass him with fleets to destroy the sea trade routes in Donghai Town, forcing Zhao Ming to negotiate with him.

However, the situation is changing a little now. First, Donghai Town is backed by the huge market in mainland China. The strategy of maritime harassment has not destroyed the economy of Donghai Town. Second, Donghai Town spread news in February and March, claiming to have formed an alliance with the British Republic. After June, news came from India that the British frequently attacked the Netherlands' strongholds in India.

This made the authorities of the Dutch East India Company begin to calm down, and the Donghai Town landed in Luzon. The Dutch were worried that the Spaniards would be defeated and they would fight alone, so they sent a fleet to sail towards Luzon.

In July, in Luzon, Manila Bay, ten Dutch warships sailed into the harbor.

At this time, on a hill beside the harbor, a group of soldiers from Donghai Town, looking at the huge three-masted warship, the head officer said in a deep voice: "Liu Qian, you should return to Beigang immediately and inform the vassal lord that the Red-Farey's warship has arrived."

The scout in Donghai Town clasped his fists and said, "I am responsible for my duty!"
