750 The Oath of Emperor Chongzhen

Sure enough, in the direction of the port, the artillery of the Ming fleet no longer bombarded the city. All of the artillery lowered its elevation angle and only bombarded the walls of Manila.

The Ming infantry who had landed in the past accelerated the attack and pressed towards the city wall in full swing.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." Under the city gate of the port, a large group of Spaniards who escaped from the warships and the Dutch people, who had no idea about the situation in the city, were still knocking on the door and shouting to open the door and let them in.

At this time, the Spaniards and the natives in the city saw that the east gate had been broken and the red crowd was constantly rushing into the city. There was still a little resistance, and they were so scared that they fled.

Even if the Governor of Luzon Diago was shouting desperately, it would be useless to escape. The Ming army would definitely kill them all, so it would be better to fight to the death now.

However, at this time, who would listen to his words and only ask for the blessings of gods and Buddhas in the sky to escape and ascend to heaven?

With a creaking sound, the city gate opened from inside.

When the Spanish and Dutch were shouting outside, they were very happy when they saw it, they rushed inside like burning their butts.

However, they never expected that the people inside, whether they were Spanish, natives, or those Japanese, would go out like crazy.

Is it necessary to go to the Ming infantry outside the counterattack city to fight back? It's so courageous! When these Spaniards and Dutch people fled to the city, they couldn't help but think in admiration.

Of course, some people suspect that this seems wrong. If they really charge back, how could they be so panicked? Some even remain empty-handed! What's going on? Judging from their appearance, it seems like there are people-eating demons in the city running for life!

While they were thinking, they probably met the familiar Spaniards, and they heard the one who ran out of the city shouting: "Run quickly, the city gate was broken by the Ming army, and the city was full of Ming army!"

Hearing this, the Spaniards who fled into the city were stunned!

What's going on? Why was the city gate broken by the Ming army? Where did the Ming army come from? What did you do to defend the city for?

No matter what they thought, they did not dare to run into the city anymore, so they were immediately driven by the crowds of people who escaped from the city and fled out of the city.

Their moves into the city and staying at these operations seriously hindered the people in the city from escaping. So much so that a lot of people soon accumulated near the city gate.

"Kill..." The Ming army, who was advancing in the city, saw it, shouted and rushed over, with a rainbow of morale and unstoppable.

The Japanese under the city gate were anxious, waved their samurai swords and slashed at their employer: Those who blocked me died!

The city gate was broken, and under the attack of the Ming army inside and outside the city, both the Spanish, Dutch, indigenous or Japanese, they all had no desire to resist and thought that they could escape by chance. The resulting killing of each other, like a headless fly, made Diyago on the city stunned.

"It's over, it's over, it's over..." After coming back to his senses, Diago couldn't help but murmur, with a very sad expression, and it was no different from his whole family. "Manila is over, Luzon is over, and Far East is over..."

The people around him ran around and fled everywhere, but he ignored him and just stared in a daze. When the gunshots got closer and closer, the dense sound of "光光光光" and the shouts of Ming army shouting, he came back to his senses.

Seeing that most of the city of Manila are covered with red military uniforms, the Ming army was chasing the running Spanish, Dutch, natives and Japanese people everywhere, Diago laughed and said with a sneer: "Retribution, haha, retribution! I slaughtered them yesterday, and today he slaughtered us, hahaha..."

While smiling bitterly, he took out his flintlock gun from his arms, looked down at the gun, and then turned to look behind him. The Ming army outside the city had already reached the city. At the distant port, more Ming army warships had already docked, and countless Ming army soldiers were disembarking...

Diago raised his flintlock spear and pointed it at his forehead. Finally, he looked at the Ming army who was chasing him, and a team of Ming army who were jumping at him, and pulled the trigger.

With a "click", Diago, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes again. When he saw the flintlock gun in his hand, it was not on fire, so he was ready to shoot himself on the forehead again.

However, this time, before he could shoot, he felt a pain in his waist and then flew out.

A Ming army soldier stepped on Diago's hand holding the gun. Regardless of Diago's lying on the ground in pain, he turned around and shouted, "Brother Liu, this seems to be a high-ranking official from the Western Barbarians!"

Brother Liu, Liu Fugen, killed an Espanyol with one knife, then held the blood-dropping knife and walked over to see the man stepping on the ground. While looking at him, another person strode to him, looked down and shouted in surprise: "Brother Liu, I recognize this person even if he turns into ashes. He is the governor of Spain, the governor of Spain in Luzon! The biggest official!"

When Liu Fugen heard Wang Afu say this, it must be true, so he became happy and immediately shouted: "Tie!"

After shouting, he directed the others to shout, "Kill from there and don't give them a chance to form a formation to resist, kill me..."

…………

The Ming Navy's war on the attack on Manila City was very fierce from the beginning. According to subsequent statistics, the gunpowder guns and bullets carried by the navy were eventually less than one-tenth of the gunpowder guns and bullets left. The warships of the Spanish and Dutch fleets were all beaten to pieces and there was no possibility of repair at all. They sank in the port, and if they had not hindered the port, they would not even have the intention to salvage them.

The city of Manila was killed by the Ming army and the Portuguese coalition. Whether it was the Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, indigenous, etc., they were all killed, killing them all, and blood flowed into a river.

This was the only massacre of the city during the re-rise of the Ming Empire, and the only time during Emperor Chongzhen's reign. In this regard, a civil servant gave Emperor Chongzhen advice to the Portuguese to push the responsibility for the massacre of the city to the Portuguese so as not to damage the Confucian way.

Even Lu Xiangsheng, who commanded the war against Luzon, wanted to announce to the public that he ordered the massacre of the city. However, his approach was rejected by Emperor Chongzhen without hesitation.

The King of Portugal just happened to have a reply. Not only did he sign an agreement and recognize the Ming Dynasty as his brother, he also sent the most warships that Portugal could send in his local area, a total of more than 30. He wanted to do his first business with the Ming Dynasty to escort it to solve the urgently needed military resources Portugal has.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen not only issued an imperial edict to the country, but also issued an edict to Portugal, asking them to take them to Europe to publicize: "The Western barbarians of Luzon and local natives massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty four times, regardless of gender, age, and young. Such evil deeds are angered by both man and gods! How can we repay kindness with kindness? Don't think that I am a mud. If you dare to attack the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will fight back. Luzon is an example! Even if you are far away from the world, I will never give up! My oath can be learned by heaven and earth!"

In this decree, Emperor Chongzhen’s determination to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what profession or wherever he is, could make anyone feel so resolute. This made the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially those merchants, feel moved and burst into tears!

Since ancient times, there has been an emperor who valued the people of the Ming Dynasty so seriously. Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, who knew the "water boat principle", did not mean to be a guardian of the people today!

As Emperor Chongzhen's decree was released, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige reached a higher level.

At this time, if you want to ask the people of the Ming Dynasty, which emperor is the best? There is no doubt that it is Emperor Chongzhen! Qin Emperor Han Wu, Emperor Tang Zong Song Zu, or Taizu and Cheng Zu of this dynasty, could not surpass the people in the minds of today!

After the war in Luzon ended, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to change Luzon to Luzon County, which was under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Prefecture. The tombs and memorial halls of the murdered Ming people were built on Luzon Island to commemorate the murdered Ming people. On the day of completion, the Spanish Governor Diago, Diago, was sacrificed to the dead.

As for Anthony, the governor of Batavia in the Netherlands, Emperor Chongzhen let him go, but the strict order explained that if anyone in the Ming people in Batavia were killed, then Emperor Chongzhen could personally visit the army to Europe and slaughter the entire Netherlands. If you can tell, you can do it!

Seeing how the Ming Navy defeated Luzon and the Ming army massacred the city, Anthony, who had the courage to kill Batavia again, hurriedly promised that he would never let the Ming people lose a hair.

Anthony was really afraid with the Spanish as an example. This emperor of the Far East Empire was even more powerful than Caesar in the Roman Empire. Now he has joined forces with Portugal to say that he will kill the Netherlands. He really won’t be talking casually.

…………

Batavia is different from Manila. It is not built directly by the sea, but inside, connecting the sea with a river, and there is a fence at the estuary. It is easier to defend and difficult to attack than Manila.

At this time, in Batavia, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Originally the builders of Batavia and migrant workers from the Ming Dynasty are now all concentrated in the square, with fences around them, and many Dutch people and other Dutch mercenaries are guarding them.

As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows that no matter whether you can escape this time, the Ming people will be very sad in Batavia.

This can be seen from the fact that Kabitan, who was chosen by the Dutch to manage the Ming people, went to negotiate with the Dutch and was treated rudely by them that the situation was already very clear.

All the people in the Ming Dynasty are in panic and are waiting for the arrival of fate every day. As time goes by, this worry increases day by day.

However, what else can they do? No one can decide for them!

Although they are Ming people, they are no longer in Ming countries. The taxes are given to the Dutch. Their own leader is Karbidan. Now that the Dutch are about to turn against each other, they can only be fish on the knife board!

It can be said that these Batavian Ming people are desperate!

On this day, I finally waited for Anthony, the Governor of Batavia.
Chapter completed!
