Dragon Sea Empire

To the north of the Bashi River and to the west of Binondo is the Maquina Manor of Binondo, where more than 300 Chinese were massacred not long ago.

The owner of the manor, Captain Maquina, is changing into full armor in the hall, and today he will lead the soldiers to attack the Balian market area.This Spanish aristocratic officer was young and domineering, and treated his servants very harshly.No, he was beating the black female slave who served him and changed into the military uniform again.Walking out of the door, a native servant almost bumped into him with water, and he gave the Tagalog servant a whip without hesitation. "Trash! They're all idiots, but a biological person is capable and smart..." He said to himself, then turned his head to look at the completely burned warehouse in the middle of the manor: "Unfortunately, a biological person will never become an obedient Christian. "

Yes, all the Chinese laborers in the manor have been burned to ashes.

At around 10 am, Captain Maquina rode on his white horse, and a guard opened the gate of the manor for him.

"Kill!" "Kill!"

Groups of Chinese rushed out of the woods, swamps, and sugarcane fields around the manor, holding sticks, stones, and even fists, and approached Maquina Manor in all directions.

The young Captain Maquina was still imagining the scene of killing a biological man a minute ago, but now the living biological people have surrounded him from all directions, but he froze on the horse.His guards were desperately pulling his horse back into the courtyard, shouting: "Here comes the physiological man, get your weapons!"

From the balcony of the Spanish-style building of the manor, Maquina's wife screamed in terror.Captain Maquina, who had just reacted, fired a shot at the crowd at the gate in vain, and was immediately hit by seven or eight stones in the body, staggering on the white horse.Some niggers took up arms, but most of the manor fled.The angry Chinese crowd rushed through the gate, over the wooden fence and garden wall, and countless feet stepped on the grass of the manor to rush towards Captain Maquina.A big Chinese man rushed to the front with his big stick held high, and he gave Ma Kuina a blow with his head in his pocket, knocking him off his horse immediately.The guard who was rushing to load ammunition into the matchlock gun was grabbed by dozens of hands. After a round of punching and kicking, he lay on the ground like a dead dog. When he was dying, he saw Captain Maquina being killed out of the corner of his eye. The revengeful Chinese dragged their feet on the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire manor was occupied by countless Chinese rebels, and angry crowds were running everywhere, everyone shouting "Kill!".A total of 5000 Chinese from Tondo participated in this revenge operation.

The flames flickered and the smoke rose. All the buildings in the Maquina Manor were set ablaze. The smoke produced by the burning could be clearly seen from the city walls of Manila.All the people in the manor, old and young, master and servant, men and women, were killed by the furious Chinese. Captain Maquina's family including the two young sons were all killed.The captain was also beheaded by the Chinese insurgents, and his head was inserted on the wooden post at the gate of the manor.

The Spaniards watched the rising smoke from the top of the city worriedly.This heralds the rebellion of the biological man—the Chinese counterattack begins.

The bell of Binondo's church rang, and a large number of Chinese gathered in front of the church.A tall young man stood on the steps in front of the church and said loudly with a passionate expression: "Fellow villagers, if the Ganguan people don't give us a way out, we can't wait to die! The city of Manila was built by our Tang people, and all the wealth in Jiannei is Why should we throw it to the Ganla people in vain? Our Tang people have a lot of people, don't be afraid of these Guanla officers and soldiers, they are only a few hundred!"

More and more people gathered below and shouted in unison: "Kill the Ganlian people! Kill!"

In the church of Binondo, several indigenous believers shivered behind the shrine in front of the cross.A group of physiological Christians stormed the church, overturned the shrine with no scruples, and dragged them out.Several Tagalog native Christians struggled desperately, shouting in unproficient Chinese: "No! Don't! We have never killed a biological person!"

In front of the church, the tall young man pointed angrily at the Tagalogs who had been dragged out and said loudly: "Look, these people followed the evil monk Flores and killed Chaozhou by the Pasig River. Many brothers from the Lin family!" He kicked the trembling prisoner, turned to the angry crowd and said, "How do we deal with them?"

"Kill!" The crowd roared in unison.The Tagalog Christians were immediately thrown into the crowd, where they were beaten to death by thousands of people.

This young man is Huang Da, the son of Huang Kang, the chief executive of the Chinese people in Balian. His Christian name is Anthony.

When his father was still mediating for peace between the Spaniards and the Chinese, he had already stood in front of the church and led thousands of Chinese Christians to participate in the riot.

"Now, the fellow villagers of Tondo have burned down the Maquina Manor, let's join them now and do great things together!" Huang Da led more than a thousand Chinese Christians, and followed those who burned down the Maquina Manor and retreated. The insurgents went to the Chinese camp in the Tondo Swamp.

Originally, the Spanish army planned to wipe out the Chinese in Balian first, and then deal with the Chinese gathered in Tondo, Gabo and other places.Now, the smoke from the Maquina Manor has declared the Chinese's attitude of resistance.Therefore, the main force of the Spanish army in Manila was sent to the direction of Binondo in an attempt to recapture the colonial area.

Only 50 Spanish soldiers attacked Balian, 500 Japanese warriors from Nihoncho became the main force, and hundreds of Pampanga archers followed.

Yin Feng did not expect a full-scale conflict to break out so soon.He took Li Lihua, a beautiful girl, and more than a dozen servants of Zeng's family to carry Zeng Jingshan. He had just arrived at the bank of the Bashi River. There were already bursts of gunfire and screams from Balian. The Chinese waiting to cross the river ran around like a nest exploded; some jumped into the river and swam to the opposite bank, some knelt on the bank and prayed to some god, some ran back and went back to Balian with their property destroy.

Several merchants took out valuable silks and satins, twisted them into ropes and hung them on trees, and then hung their heads on the ropes, preparing to die with dignity before the arrival of the Spaniards.

Yin Feng looked at the chaotic surroundings, gritted his teeth, and panted, "Miss Li, when the disembarkation arrives, you guys get on the boat first."

There were more than a dozen servants from the Zeng family on the outside, holding "weapons" like sticks, and his two sailors and Magaro surrounded Miss Li Lihua in the inner circle.Lihua was wearing an ordinary Chinese gown and a square turban, trying to dress up as an ordinary Chinese man.It's just that her clear and beautiful face is too eye-catching, and her uneven figure can't be completely covered up, so Yin Feng can only force it, and Quan Zuo didn't see it.

He was thinking: It would be great if the sailors trained by Portuguese mercenaries on the Xinxing were here!

Suddenly, the small boats and canoes that were about to reach the other side of the river turned around one after another, and the people on board paddled frantically, trying to escape back to the south bank.On the high ground on the opposite bank, a row of Spanish soldiers in red uniforms appeared, and then rows of musketeers and Pampanga archers successively launched battles on the shore. One minute later, the neatly lined musketeers fired a volley under the command of the officer's long sword.

"Bah bah bah bah bah!" The bank of the river was suddenly covered in gunpowder smoke and mist.

Most of the Chinese in small boats and canoes that had just crossed the middle line of the river were hit by bullets and fell into the water like dumplings.

On the river bank here, more fugitives cried out in despair.The obvious fact is that the Spaniards have retaken Binondo and have blocked the other side of the river.

Yin Feng's head was about to explode, all of this happened too fast and too fast, now it's good, not only can't he save anyone, he may have to die here.Don't panic, don't panic!After chanting a few times, he raised his revolver and fired a musket and said loudly: "It is impossible to cross the river now. There is no danger on the bank of this river. When we return to the stream, we can rely on the house to defend and wait. Let's go back! I will take the lead. Everyone must follow closely, don't fall behind!"

Smoke billowed everywhere around the city of Manila and gunshots rang out everywhere.Led by the Spaniards and missionaries, the scattered Chinese were executed in various indigenous villages on the outskirts of Manila one after another, taking the opportunity to rob the property of the Chinese businessmen with impunity.

At the mouth of the Pasig River, Fort Santiago on the edge of Manila Bay is a symbol of Spanish rule over Luzon Island, because any merchant ship that comes to Manila Bay can see this fortress.At this time, Fort San Diego is also on high alert.About 50 Spanish soldiers and more than 100 indigenous servants guarded here.

A soldier in charge of the lookout broke into the room of Captain Francisco, the chief officer of the fortress.

"Boat, boat! A boat! There's a boat in Manila Bay!"

Captain Francisco was eating lunch. He was shocked and jumped up: "What! What ship! Is it a Junk ship? How many ships are there?"

The soldier gasped and said: "A ship, I found this ship for a while. It's not a Chinese junk ship, it's our European ship."

"See the flag that's hanging? God bless, don't the Dutch heretics come again? We're at war with biological people... Go up and have a look."

Captain Francisco lay on the gun emplacement of the fortress, staring at it for a long time.At this time, the Spanish colonial army had not been able to configure equipment such as telescopes.

The watchman had better eyes. He shook his head and said, "It should not be the flag of the Dutch, it seems to be a Portuguese ship."

Captain Francisco looked at it for a while, then nodded: "Yes, God bless, it is indeed a Portuguese ship. The question is why there are Portuguese ships coming to Manila at this time?"

The two countries of Spain and Portugal regard Philip as the king. There is a treaty agreement: in order to protect the interests of the two governments, direct entrepot trade between the Asian colonies of Spain and Portugal is prohibited.Of course, neither Portuguese merchants nor Spanish merchants are so law-abiding, and various smuggling trades are still going on.But now that the trading season is over, it is unprecedented for Portuguese ships to come to Manila at this time.

Captain Francisco hurriedly sent someone to report to the capital of Manila, and at the same time, just in case, he ordered all the soldiers in the fort to prepare for battle.

Out of range of the fort's guns, the Portuguese-flagged ship dropped anchor, and sent a skiff in the direction of the fort.This move reassured the Spaniard. Captain Francisco wiped the cold sweat off his brow, nodded and said, "It doesn't look like there is any malice, God bless!"

This Portuguese ship is Yin Feng's first ship Xinxing.His registered name in Macau, Portugal is called "Hope".After receiving Yin Feng's letter, Lin Xiao and others almost coerced Captain Barreto Jr., and rushed back to Luzon just after returning to Yuegang to unload the cargo.
