Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Chapter 166 Manila Massacre

After Li Jingfeng left, Bishop Salazar moved around, summoned some Spaniards from various places, and took over the management of Manila City again.

But first there was Lin Feng's siege incident more than ten years ago, and then there was the incident when Li Jingfeng ruled Manila. These two incidents also made him worried all day long.

Moreover, the people of Xia basically do not believe in God. Most of them are businessmen, craftsmen and other people with a certain social status.

Under their influence, many indigenous people also became difficult to convert, which made the development of Catholic believers in Manila extremely difficult.

This caused Bishop Salazar to develop an extreme hatred for all Xia people.

After this year of hard work, Salazar summoned Spanish forces from all over the country and hired Portuguese people from all over the country.

This brought the number of Spanish and Portuguese people in Manila to two thousand again.

At the same time, he trained [-] Luzon natives. Such a force was enough to sweep all countries in Southeast Asia.

At this time, Salazar's patience with the Xia people had reached its limit, so a few days ago, Salazar issued an order to massacre the Xia people.

For every Xia immigrant killed, you can go to the church to receive five silver coins based on the person's head, with no upper limit.

At the same time, the Spanish army and the Luzon indigenous army were ordered to attack Balian City, which was previously planned to be a concentrated residence for the Xia people.

Balian City is called a city, but it is actually just a semi-prison-style fortress built to prevent the Xia people from rebelling.

When the Spanish army set up their cannons and aimed them at the stronghold, the Xia people showed no reaction at all.

It wasn't until the sound of cannons sounded and a large number of casualties occurred that the people in the city woke up from a dream.

They cried and ran away in all directions, but the sky and the sky were not responding at all, and the earth and the earth were not working. The entire village had become a hell on earth.

Afterwards, the young and strong people who woke up took up weapons and launched an organized counterattack.

However, nearly five thousand people in the city had already died at this time.

In the end, one-third of the people escaped from Balian City due to the desperate struggle of the Xia immigrants Qingzhuang.

But what awaited them next was a joint pursuit by countless indigenous people and Spanish and Portuguese people.

These days, at least one person dies under the butcher's knife of these people every day.

After Hou Yao learned the news from the Spaniard, he was so angry that his face was so gloomy that it was dripping with water:

"Open your teeth and order the entire army to attack Manila. All Spaniards and Portuguese. As long as one escapes, you are the only one asking. The natives of Luzon are not allowed to come back to see me until they kill enough [-] people."

"Yes, my lord"

Zhang Daya, who had never seen Hou Yao get so angry before, felt that his legs and feet were a little weak.

To kill [-] Luzon natives, how many natives are there in total on Luzon Island?

Doesn't this mean to kill them all?

Zhang Daya was trembling in his heart and thought to himself: You can't offend anyone by offending the master. It would be terrible if the master gets angry.

……

The city of Manila is still in the midst of a perverted carnival, and the young natives of Luzon are waving the heads of Xia people to show off their bravery.

The Spaniards and hired Portuguese were in small groups, wantonly abusing and bullying the women and children of Xia immigrants.

These groups who are unable to resist are the most miserable. Compared with the men who died on the battlefield, they will have to endure more pain and suffering.

The Catholic church is the source of all these evils. Salazar is dressed in a black monk's robe and has a look of compassion on his face:

"Dear children, you have done a good job. These blasphemous Xia people are the root of all evil. There are still tens of thousands of Xia people running around to find them. Only death is their only salvation. "

“Redemption, redemption, redemption….”

The natives shouted slogans, waved various weapons, and walked in groups outside the city.

Naturally, the Spaniards and Portuguese would not join these indigenous people in such a difficult task of hunting down and killing them.

They would only wait until the natives catch up with the main force of the Xia people, and if they could not defeat them, they would take action.

Use guns and cannons to purify those Xia merchants and craftsmen holding spears and swords.

Only they have the ability to destroy these armed Xia people.

At this time, all the Spaniards were waiting for the good news from the natives who went out of the city to pursue the Xia people that they had surrounded the Xia people.

But no one expected that disaster would befall them so soon.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Suddenly, a dense and terrifying sound of artillery came from the sea, and countless artillery shells fell like raindrops to every corner of the city.

Many people were killed by shells before they had time to react.

And more people were injured and maimed.

"What's going on? Why are there cannonballs?"

"Oh my god, why are there so many ships on the sea?"

"Who are they? Why are they attacking us?"

Everyone in the city was crying and running, asking what happened?

But the only answer to them was a new round of shelling.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The Manila galleons were armed with a hundred guns each.Each side has fifty guns, and forty ships have two guns.

How terrifying is it to be bombarded by two artillery pieces at the same time?

The small city of Manila only has a total of two thousand regular troops.

How can you resist?

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

After the third round of shelling, a white flag was raised in the city.

The Spanish and Portuguese in the city were frightened.

They didn't know how to communicate with the huge fleet on the sea, so they could only follow the usual custom of using white flags to express surrender.

Holding a white flag on battlefields in the West originated in the middle period of the Roman Empire, which is equivalent to the Eastern Han Dynasty in China.

At that time, the Roman Empire had stopped expanding its territory, and wars generally took place in fights between nobles or in countering rebellions.

Raising the white flag does not completely represent surrender, but indicates a willingness to suspend armed fighting negotiations, and the main content of the negotiations is the issue of monetary compensation.

Just slowly, this evolved into a form of surrender.

The Spaniards raised the white flag at this time not only with the intention of surrender, but also with the intention of solving the problem through negotiation. The usual approach was to give the victor a large sum of money as compensation.

The surrender of the East with a white flag can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

Qin's main color is water virtue, and its color is black. Therefore, the clothing during the Qin Dynasty, including the clothing of soldiers, was based on black.

Wearing white to surrender will be conspicuous, and secondly, surrendering in the opposite color of black also shows a kind of humility.

So Qin Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang in white clothes.

It can only be said that this is a coincidence of habit.

When the Baoan Army saw the white flag raised in the city, they gave up the bombardment and began to dock and land at the port.

Countless Ganbaoan troops landed at the Manila port, and everyone in Manila panicked.

One second they were slaughtering Xia immigrants wantonly, and in the next moment, troops from other countries landed. How to explain this?

The Spanish, who were armed, had taken up arms and tried to resist.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Scattered gunshots rang out everywhere, and the Baoan Army could no longer contain their anger.

"The entire army obeys orders and can attack freely. Anyone who is not a citizen of our Great Xia Kingdom will be killed. Starting immediately, the city will be massacred for three days -"

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

Intensive gunshots rang out everywhere.

There were people fleeing in all directions in Manila.

"what……"

Miserable howls rang out one after another, and all the Baoan soldiers turned into evil ghosts from hell to repay the blood debts of the Xia immigrants.

Blood debts can only be repaid with blood, and the butchers and executioners who were still moaning one moment turned into lambs to be slaughtered the next.

Salazar stood at the door of the church, looking at the chaotic city of Manila, and shed a tear on his ferocious old orange-skinned face:

"God..., what's going on, what's going on? God, have you really given up on your most devout believer?"

"what……."

A Spanish soldier screamed and fell at Salazar's feet. He hurriedly leaned down and tried to support him:

"Dunlop, my child, you must be strong and cheer up..."

The soldier opened his mouth and spat out a pool of thick blood, then closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

With a look of pain on his face, Salazar gently placed him on the ground, put his hands on his chest and prayed:

"Almighty and merciful God, the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ have brought the hope of eternal life to mankind. Please show your mercy and accept our recently deceased relative and friend Dunlop, and forgive him for all his thoughts, words and deeds while he was alive. For the mistakes he made, please send angels to protect and guide him from being harmed by the devil. Lead him to your stage and let him rest in your arms. Please also ask you to make us who are still living in the world, Cherish the gift of life, try your best to do good, and meet him in heaven one day."

Dunlop was a young man who originally followed Salazar as a monk.

After Li Jingfeng left, the newly recruited scattered Spanish troops were all of the same rank, and no one was qualified to serve as the supreme commander.

He made Dunlop their supreme commander, and the Portuguese who contacted Manchuria also asked Dunlop to go.

Strictly speaking Dunlop was not Spanish, but a man of the Pope.

Now that Dunlop is dead, he has completely lost his support, which also shows that it is impossible to resist these Daxia troops attacking from the sea.

The gunfire in the city gradually subsided.

Even after the order was issued to massacre the city, no one from the Baoan Army attacked the old, weak, women and children. This was both habit and conscience.

Even those young men who did not resist were not killed. After no one resisted in the city, it was basically settled.

Hou Yao suppressed his anger after getting off the boat, but he couldn't say too much about the soldiers' spontaneous behavior.

Walk all the way through the city of Manila to the Manila Cathedral on the south bank of the Pasig River.

In the center of the square in front of the church, there is a pile of human heads piled high up. These heads are the heads of immigrants from Great Xia who were killed in this massacre, including young and old.

Hou Yao's anger reached its peak, but the Bao'an army was unwilling to continue killing women and children. If he forced the order, it might arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

How could he calm down the anger in his heart without killing? Hou Yao roared like an angry lion:

"Zhou Tiesheng and Liu Chengfu will pull all the Yi prisoners to the center of the square and execute them on the spot. You are the only one who lets them go."

"Yes……."
