Chapter 154 Spain in Decline

However, compared to the tens of thousands of Spaniards who settled in Manila, and more mixed-race whites.

The large number of ships in the port of Manila is also quite unsightly.

The current boat ticket has been sold to the point of ten Spanish silver coins, but it is still priceless.

Except for dignitaries like Rica or Sares, not to mention mixed-race whites, even ordinary Spaniards are not eligible to board the ship.

The chaos on the pier intensified, and the gentlemen who used to be polite were now becoming hysterical.

Many emaciated women were pushed to the ground, and some children were even trampled to death by the crowd.

In the current Manila port, there is a scene of doomsday.

Rika withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes in pain.

"My God!"

"God have you abandoned Spain?"

Since landing in Luzon more than 100 years ago and establishing a colony in Luzon, the Spaniards never thought that they would face the current situation.

Before the Ming army's siege method, the Spaniards' biggest reliance, the strong bastions, became vulnerable!
A large number of troops were systematically wiped out in field battles, and even the fleet that the Spaniards were proud of was inexplicably wiped out.

Putting things together, it seems that there is really a little taste of God abandoning Spain!

At the same time, the merchant ship of the Scorch family.

Father and son Yada and Capello were also looking in the direction of Manila.

Yada asked.

"Father, is it still possible for us to return to Manila?"

Capello shook his head solemnly and said.

"It's unlikely!"

"Unless the Habsburgs are crazy and devote all their power to the expedition to Luzon across the sea, otherwise, Spain, the God of God, will lose its interests in the Far East forever."

Although Spain in this era has begun to decline, but the so-called donkey does not fall, and there are three thousand nails on the rotten ship, Spain, the world's first empire on which the sun never sets, still has strength.

Spain in today's Europe is like old America in the 21st century!

Although the national strength is constantly declining, but he is of sufficient size, he is still the most powerful force in the world structure, one super among many.

With the backing of the American colonies and a huge Armada, Spain's strength is still the best in Europe.

Among countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal, only the United Kingdom, a country that is regarded as an emerging regime after the bourgeois revolution, has the ability to wrestle with Spain alone.

Those other countries have to join hands to dare to sing a diagonal play with the Spaniards!
It's just that although the Spaniards are quite good, now is the highlight moment in their history.

But, the distance between the Far East and Europe is too far!

With an expedition across half the world, the Habsburgs, now struggling financially, may have to pawn their trousers.

Capello simply calculated an account!

This time in the Luzon decisive battle, the Governor's Mansion invested nearly [-] troops, including [-] white musketeers.

The result was a fiasco!

In order to avoid the kind of head-offering across thousands of miles, Madrid will go on an expedition to Luzon across the sea. To ensure victory, at least [-] white musketeers and more indigenous servants are needed.

It's not that Spain doesn't have so many soldiers!

Gritting your teeth, let alone 2 people, even Spain with 20 people can make up.

However, you must know that the sea is not smooth.

During the Duck War, the British and French allied forces fought against the Qing Dynasty, and the road sank by 20.00% due to wind and waves and other reasons.

You know, that was the nineteenth century, when steamships had been used on a large scale.

To conduct an expedition across half of the world in the seventeenth century, it is conservatively estimated that half of the journey will be heavy!
In other words, in order to ensure that 2 people can arrive in Luzon and fight on the battlefield, the Spaniards must mobilize at least 5 people.

And be prepared, more than half of them will die at sea!
Dude, who the hell can stand this? !
Not to mention the preparation of food, grass and weapons for these 5 people across half the world.

The ports along the coast of the Spaniards all over the world, even if they prepare supplies for the army in advance, the ports that these 5 people pass by will most likely be destroyed in one go...

If the Habsburg Dynasty really wanted to make an expedition to East Asia.

There is no doubt that when the war begins, it will be the day of Spain's collapse.

It was the day when the king of Spain was sent to the gallows and hanged by the nobles!

So, what the hell is going on an expedition!

Capello really doesn't think Spain has a day to fight back to Manila!
Yada asked again.

"Father, if the power of the entire Europa in the east unites, is it capable of destroying the Restoration Army and taking back Manila?"

Capello shook his head again and said.

"If it was before this Luzon decisive battle, it might be possible!"

"But now, it's impossible!"

"..."

Among the colonies of the European countries in the east, the Spanish are the most powerful.

Although the Dutch are known as sea coachmen, compared with Spain, the gap is still not small.

I didn't even look at the country's surname and pulled out the city of Zeelandia. Did the Dutch have no reaction at all?
Spain, the most powerful, knelt down. Could Yada still count on the Dutch and the Portuguese to step up to line up with Daming and give away their heads?

Just when the father and son were worried about Europa's decline in the Far East, the riot on the pier suddenly escalated.

……

A twelve-pointed sun and moon flag and a black dragon army flag with a red background appeared at the end of the horizon!

After the Restoration Army ended the Battle of Cavite, Zhu Hongyu received news that Hongmao was about to run away.

Therefore, he led his people to the port of Manila without stopping.

In Zhu Hongyu's view, he still wants these red hairs to contribute to the construction of a civilized, prosperous, safe and harmonious feudal new Ming Dynasty.

Not one can let go!

The infantry of the Restoration Army formed a neat square formation outside the pier and marched in formation.

They took up their muskets and aimed their muzzles ahead, forming a standard formation of queuing up and shooting.

The sound of war drums is constantly beating, and the sound of horns is low and powerful.

Coupled with the neat military appearance of the Liberation Army, the black muzzle, and the bright bayonet, the sense of oppression is brought.

Chaos broke out on the pier in an instant, and countless people crowded together, trying to board the ship leaving Manila.

Crowding, trampling, cursing, tearing...

The entire Manila port is in chaos!
At this time, the cavalry of Zheng Jun led by Ma Xin appeared on the scene.

The cavalry galloped like flying. Although there were not many in number, the oppression they brought to the Spaniards was greater than the oppression brought by thousands of infantry.

Tall horses, mighty knights, heavy armor, sharp sabers...

The moment the cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the enemy's heart would involuntarily be filled with fear!

Not to mention, what the Ming army is facing now is not an army at all, but a group of frightened refugees...
