Chapter 468 The Tribal Union

Just as Xiao Ruxun expected, the aborigines on the Philippine island went completely crazy after the sailors who survived the ship brought the news back to their respective tribes.

The dozen or so tribes who had been suppressed terribly united with each other immediately, mobilized all the young and old, and even some old people, holding torches, sticks, knives and guns, marched at full speed towards Manila.

After hearing the news, those tribes who had formed an alliance with the Spaniards also quickly united. After a short meeting, they made a decision to send troops to help defend Manila and protect the Spaniards.

Once the Spaniards were completely defeated, the anger of those tribes that had been suppressed for a long time broke out in an instant was very terrifying.

Although the Spaniards were colonists, they were also their associates. They had been protecting them from disasters for a long time. They also used this to suck the blood of those tribes to nourish their own tribes and make their tribes fat and strong.

Need to say what will happen once the Spaniards are finished and no one is in the way?
Therefore, it is the best policy to keep the Spaniards, prevent the Spaniards from dying, and always protect them from disasters.

As for whether the Spaniards are willing to coexist with them after they have developed to the end and have the technological power to annex them, and what the nature of the colonists is, they are no longer within the scope of these people's thinking.

Most people can only see what is in front of them, and they can only think about what is in front of them, because it is very difficult to live beyond what is in front of them.

Just like in the late Southern Song Dynasty, before the alliance with Mongolia to destroy gold, some people proposed not to unite with Mongolia to destroy gold, but to unite with the state of Jin to resist Mongolia, support the state of Jin, and let the state of Jin always protect the Song Dynasty from disasters and confront the Mongols head-on. The situation of uniting the Liao Kingdom against the Jin Kingdom proposed by someone before the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed is exactly the same.

But why did the Northern Song Dynasty not accept the alliance with the Liao Kingdom, and the Southern Song Dynasty also did not accept the alliance with the Jin Dynasty, and they were destroyed in the end?

The Northern Song Dynasty and Liao, the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin, that is blood feud, world hatred, the hatred with Liao is not as completely unacceptable as the hatred with Jin, let alone the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin, that is an option that does not exist at all, some hatred , there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, and it can only be resolved if one party is destroyed.

This is true of the Chinese, so is the Filipino, the Americans, the British, the Irish, the Arabs, the Spaniards, the Catalans, who is not?
The suppressed Filipino indigenous coalition army was the first to arrive in Manila and traveled overnight. The next morning, the vanguard of the coalition army arrived outside Manila just after dawn.

At this moment, Manila is already a dead and empty city. The outside of the city is in a mess, there are many discarded things, and there are many headless corpses.

After inspection, these headless corpses were determined to be those of the Spaniards, which proved that the Ming army had already arrived. The pioneer troops carefully touched the inside of Manila, and after confirming that there was no one and nothing inside, they knew that everything here was safe. They were quite disappointed to be taken away by the Ming army.

It was noon when the large forces of the coalition army arrived.

The leader of the vanguard was A Nuo, a young leader of a small tribe. He brought more than 500 young and strong people of his own to serve as the vanguard. A Nuo's father was killed by the hostile tribes and the Spanish. The fire was never extinguished for a day.

The head of the coalition army is a respected tribal old man. He once fought the earliest Spanish colonists. It was 40 years ago. Now he is almost 70 years old. He still hates the Spaniards very much and refuses to make peace with them. They cooperate so that the tribes that are better with him are suppressed.

Nevertheless, he still hates the Spaniards so much, claiming that he has lived until now to wait for the Spaniards to decline, and they will take back their land and homes. Now that he finally waited, he was so excited that he rushed to Manila with his people , to defeat the Spaniards personally, and then kill them with his own hands.

Unfortunately, Manila is empty.

Anuo met the old man of the tribe and explained to him what he found after he came.

"You mean, after you came here, no one is alive here, and the whole city is empty, with nothing?"

The tribal elders were very surprised.

"Yes, there is no one here. I found nothing but these headless corpses. We have checked all the houses and castles. They are empty. There is not even a stool or a complete dress. Neither could be found.

So according to previous information, we believe that General Xiao from the Ming Dynasty came here, defeated the Spaniards, and then took away all the prisoners and trophies, and left. I have sent people to the port to check the news, and will soon Got the news. "

Anuo reported to the tribal elder very respectfully.

The tribal old man nodded hesitantly, and then brought a group of tribal joint leaders into Manila to inspect it for himself. They went around the entire Manila, inspected every house and warehouse they saw, and even sent someone to find the underground space , but nothing was found, some basements were found, but the inside was also empty.

Got nothing.

This can't help but disappoint the old man of the tribe. He thought he could get some guns and weapons left by the Spaniards to arm his troops, and he even hoped to get some gold, silver, treasures and food left by the Spaniards, which can be regarded as making up for it. The loss of myself and so many tribes over the years.

Everyone was oppressed miserably.

But getting nothing is just so unsatisfying, so uncomfortable.

The old man of the tribe had no choice but to lead his people away from the empty city. Just when he was about to order the city of shame to be set on fire, A Nuo's spies came.

"We found a flag at the port. The logo on this flag is the logo of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many traces of people's activities on the port pier. It should be that General Xiao of the Ming Dynasty led troops to defeat the Spaniards, and then sent all Everything was taken away, and now there are no Spaniards on our land."

The people in the tribe were either pleased, disappointed, or dissatisfied, but in the end they were a little happy.

Because the enemy who oppressed them for decades no longer exists, and the Ming people who defeated them are obviously not interested in the Philippines, they left, patted their asses and left, leaving them a complete land, which is The thing to be happy about is that where there is land, there is hope, and where there is hope, there is a future. Don't be too sad.

And there are more important things to do afterwards!
Those traitors who helped the Spaniards to harm their compatriots and wiped out many tribes because of a little personal grievance, they must be judged!
