The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 99 Sea Merchants and Pirates

There was a rout in the giant wood tribe, and a native of the giant wood tribe couldn't hold on any longer. He turned and fled with a look of panic on his face.

One escapes, everyone escapes!
His escape caused the entire giant wood tribe's front to collapse instantly.

More and more natives threw away their weapons, turned around and fled towards the mountains and forests.

The natives of the crocodile tribe, some screaming strangely, quickly chased towards the mountain forest.

The remaining people began to collect the prisoners of war and clean up the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Hu Dinggao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The overall situation is set!"

……

The Restoration Army and those Iglots who were close to the Restoration Army acted together to wipe out the indigenous tribes in the mountains who fell to the Spaniards.

All the men who dared to resist were killed, and the old people who could not work were also killed.

All the young and strong in the tribe became slaves, but women were treated the best, especially young women who could bear children.

No matter which country, which nationality, a woman, no matter how beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, as long as she can bear children, that is the most precious wealth.

The Restoration Army cooperated with the Iglots, and they advanced very quickly. In just three to five days, the tribes that colluded with the Spaniards were wiped out one by one.

In this battle, the Liberation Army harvested a large amount of food and materials, harvested a large number of young and strong laborers, and wiped out the threat from its own rear.

With the fact that these Spanish-oriented forces in the mountains have been wiped out, the recovery army has almost no worries, and it is just around the corner to go out to fight!

Zhu Hongyu immediately announced to convene a meeting of the generals of the recovery army.

Discuss the battle strategy!

……

Manila!
It has been more than 100 years since the Spanish colonists first landed on Luzon Island.

More than 100 years of development have transformed Manila from an inconspicuous colonial town to one of the largest cities in Southeast Asia.

However, in the bustling and bustling Manila in the past, the atmosphere today is somewhat different.

There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets than ever before!

In the past, those Spaniards who held their heads high all the time and were extremely proud were less proud and more depressed.

The Chinese who used to be humble before the colonists unconsciously puffed up their chests.

When the Spaniards targeted the Chinese, they somehow learned to restrain themselves, knowing that enough is enough, and they are no longer as aggressive as before.

All of this is because of the disastrous defeat of Colonel Robin's encirclement and suppression of the Restoration Army, and the news that more than a thousand Spanish soldiers were almost wiped out was transmitted back to Manila today.

To some extent, the military victory of the Restoration Army against the Spaniards greatly enhanced the social status of the Chinese in Manila.

The victory of the Restoration Army let the Spaniards know that the Chinese are also very capable of fighting. If you push the opponent into a hurry, maybe there will be a second Restoration Army.

A Chinese restaurant in Jiannei Chinese community.

The smell of wine and meat in the restaurant is tangy, and there are well-dressed and wealthy businessmen coming and going.

Sitting in the private seat by the window on the second floor were a few tall men with rough, black and red skin and large pores that looked like orange peels.

There are several jars of good wine, a roast chicken, and a large pot of oily stew on the table.

They eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink with big bowls!
Very willful and chic!

Regardless of their behavior or appearance, these people seem to be men who run business at sea.

Their skin looks like a typical sea breeze.

That is, sea merchants and pirates!

Maritime merchants and pirates in this era are inseparable.

When meeting at sea, if the opponent's ship is taller than you and has more guns than you, then you are a serious maritime merchant.

But if there are many people on my side...

So sorry, I think the Dragon Lord in the sea is a bit hungry, for the sake of peace and stability in the sea, I have to say sorry to you.

Maritime merchants and pirates can generally connect seamlessly without any problems.

"Boss, I found out what happened!"

Just as the crowd was eating and drinking, a young man who was also dressed hurriedly ran in.

As soon as he ran to the table, he saw the food on the table, his eyes lit up, he reached out to pick up a big chicken leg and started to eat.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the chicken legs are reserved for you, take your time, what happened?"

The leader of the crowd spoke.

The sound is thick and full of magnetism.

This person's skin is rough, black and red, but his appearance is surprisingly good.

He has a square face with a beard on his chin. He looks very elegant. The clothes on his body are round-neck gowns, a typical businessman's attire.

After the boy finished eating the chicken legs, he randomly picked up a sea bowl from the table and poured himself a large bowl of wine.

Although the appearance is still a little immature, but the aura of a sea hero on his body cannot be concealed.

The person in the lead asked.

"Xiaoqi, tell me what happened, what's going on in Manila?"

After eating and drinking, the boy wiped his mouth and said when he saw the boss questioning him.

"Today, I really heard something rare!"

"Damn it, the red-haired ghost in Manila has suffered a lot from us Chinese."

"Three months ago, there was a miner named Zhu Hongyu who could not bear the oppression of the red-haired supervisor. He claimed to be the clan of the Ming Dynasty and led a group of Chinese miners to revolt. He called himself the Restoration Army. .”

"Unexpectedly, they really made things happen!"

"After the rebellion, the Liberation Army first fought a vote at the Dalun Mountain Mine, killed and captured five or six hundred red hairs, and then led people into the mountains in northern Luzon."

"Some time ago, the Governor's Mansion sent people into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Restoration Army. A total of several thousand people were mobilized, including one thousand two or three real red-haired soldiers."

"As a result, none of these thousands of people could come out of the mountain."

"No, the news of the defeat came back yesterday. The governor's mansion is in chaos now. The families of the red-haired soldiers who died in the mountains are making a fuss in front of the governor's mansion."

Zeng Canghai stroked his chin, fell into deep thought, and said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, it's interesting!"

Zeng Canghai lived at sea for most of his life, he followed Zheng Zhilong and beat the Dutch and the British, followed Zheng Guo's surname, fought the Qing Tartars, and committed traitors.

I have been a bandit at sea, and I have also been an officer of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he works alone and leads the fleet to live at sea, which is considered a joy.

Over the years, he has often fought against the red-haired soldiers, and he knows how powerful the red-haired soldiers are.

The red-haired soldiers are short in stature, but they are quite proficient in using firearms, and they are also quite brave in jumping gang battles.

It is really not easy for the Liberation Army to defeat more than 1000 red-haired soldiers in one battle.

You know, the Dutch are in Dayuan's Zeelandia city, but there are only more than 1000 red-haired soldiers.

But these more than 1000 red-haired soldiers made Guo Xingye dare not rashly take action against Zeelandia City and regained the entire Dayuan Island.

Although the Dutch red hair and the Spanish red hair are basically two countries, the combat effectiveness of the army is definitely different.

But if you compare them horizontally, you can also know how powerful the Liberation Army is.

Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Boss, do you think this Zhu Hongyu is really the clan of Daming?"

Zeng Canghai shook his head and said.

"Hard to say!"

"There are many clans in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Jiashen year, countless people have gone to Nanyang to escape disaster. Who can say for sure?"
