880 The Ming Emperor Came to Luzon

Fort Santiago was just the first stop for the Ming army to quell the rebellion.

Immediately afterwards, King Ding Zhu Cijiong ordered the Ming army to attack and disperse to the Spanish colonies to quell the riots!

After learning the news, Governor Salkedo almost bleed.

The Ming army said it was going to quell the rebellion, but after it was quelled, the Spanish colonies would have to give in!

The angry Salquedo frequently filed serious negotiations with the Ming army, protesting against the Ming Dynasty's illegal occupation of Fort Santiago and Spanish colonies, but no response was received.

This time, it was Salquordo's turn to Fort Santiago to ask for Zhu Cijiong, but Zhu Cijiong refused him on the grounds that he had too much government affairs and had no time to see guests.

Salkedo almost exploded on the spot, and in the end a Ming diplomat politely received him.

"On behalf of the Spanish Empire, I protest against you seriously. I hope you will immediately withdraw from Fort Santiago before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise, it will be a declaration of war on my Spanish Empire!"

Salquordo seemed very strong, and he did this as soon as he met.

However, the young diplomat of the Ming Dynasty smiled and showed his white teeth, and said leisurely: "Okay, declare war. Since your country is so enthusiastic and warlike, I, the Ming Dynasty, are not a country that I am afraid of. Come on, will I declare war at 9 o'clock tomorrow?"

Salquor's eyes widened, thinking that something was wrong with his ears.

I heard that the diplomats of Mingguo took out a small notebook and asked seriously without raising their heads: "Are your country sure that it is declared war at 9:00 tomorrow morning? Will the time change?"

Salkedo's face turned red, like a pig's liver. After holding it in for a while, he said, "You heard it wrong! Goodbye!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Salquor paused, frowned with a calm face and said, "What else?"

The diplomat smiled and said politely: "Dear Governor, Manila City is the main place for riots. His Highness, Prince Ding of our country, hopes that the Governor can make some convenience and allow the Ming army to enter Manila City to maintain stability."

Salquordo was angry and annoyed, and could no longer hold it back, and shouted irritably: "It's impossible!"

Just kidding, Manila City is the old nest of Spain's colony in the South China Sea. If the Ming army was allowed to enter, would Spain still have a colony in Luzon? Just pack it up and go home!

Before leaving, Salquedo said angrily: "My Spanish army has the strength to maintain the stability of Manila!"

"Then let's wait and see."

The diplomat smiled brightly on his face, but he felt very contemptuous.

He sighed: "What Your Majesty said is indeed a famous saying. Western monkeys are paper tigers that are strong outside and do not have the same power!"

......

After nearly a week of suppression, the Ming army basically controlled the anti-Chinese riots and also controlled most of Spain's colonies.

During this period, the Ming army had several small-scale conflicts with the Spanish colonial army, but both sides were very restrained and tried their best to avoid firefights. Most of the conflicts were resolved by bare hands.

If we talk about single-handed firearms, the soldiers of the Conquest Army who have experienced little war may not be able to be Spanish soldiers who have been through the battlefield for a long time.

But if it comes to fighting with bare hands, Spanish soldiers are not enough.

Not to mention the advantage of the number of Ming army, the fight is like a group of black brothers beating their younger brothers.

In terms of individual combat ability, the Ming army, which has long popularized modern military combat skills, can beat the Spanish little brother out of the way!

This is not a Chinese martial art, but a fighting technique evolved from wars over thousands of years, and its practical tricks.

This kind of fighting technique is essentially different from pure ring competition. Every move and every move contains the powerful power of defeating the enemy with one blow.

The Spanish soldiers in the conflict were all bruised and swollen. It is said that the beatings happened from time to time.

Under the deterrence of the Ming army and the weakness of the Spanish colonial army, the indigenous leaders personally took gifts to the Ming army camp to apologize, and said that they would obey the Ming army's orders in the future.

It fully demonstrates the iron rule that "having milk is a mother, and having fists is a father". This is very Filipino!

On August 29, at 9 a.m., the Ming fleet departed from Zhoushan Naval Base successfully arrived in Manila Bay.

When the twenty-eight sail battleships slashed the waves and lined up to the Ming Commercial Wharf, tens of thousands of Chinese stranded in the Ming Commercial Hall and the Chinese who came from nearby gathered spontaneously in the north and south, and excitedly witnessed the heroic posture of the Ming warship.

They received a notice that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would come to Nanyang in person, in this fleet!

Since ancient times, no emperor has ever been abroad, only Emperor Tianwu has sailed twice!

This fully demonstrates the emperor's importance to the ocean and to the Southeast Asian Sea!

There is also a deeper meaning: wherever Emperor Tianwu has been, it will definitely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

When the Ming fleet appeared in the sea view from afar, the people on the shore had already started to cheer.

When we approached the waterway, cheers kept rolling in and the entire dock was boiling!

The ones forming this fleet include: the first-class sail battleship of the Wanli, the second-class sail battleship of the Taichang, the fifteen third-class sail battleship of the Tianquan, and ten fourth-class sail battleships of the Xuda.

All the people came, all of which were heavy artillery ships, which looked scary!

Half an hour ago, when the Ming fleet entered Manila Bay, three cruised Spanish warships issued a warning that the Ming fleet would not be allowed to approach and even wanted to expel them.

Zhu Cilang was happy on the spot and ordered a wave of cannons to help the fun.

In the storm-like shelling, three Spanish warships fled in panic and uttered apologetic flag. One of them was severely damaged and almost scrapped.

The Ming fleet demonstrated its strong strength and domineeringness, and entered the Manila Bay, which the Spaniards occupied for nearly a hundred years without any resistance!

Twenty-eight warships carried a reorganized brigade of 5,000 people in the Tianwu Army, two thousand imperial guards, two thousand marines, and four thousand naval sailors, a total of 15,000 people.

After the warship broke down, sailors in blue naval uniforms lined up neatly on the side of the ship to pay tribute to the people on the shore.

Teams of Tianwu Army wearing fiery red army uniforms disembarked one by one and headed to the dock to line up for alert.

Finally, the Imperial Guards lined up in an order to escort the Ming Emperor Zhu Cilang off the ship and landed on the shore, and toured Luzon.

When Zhu Cilang, wearing a new naval uniform, appeared on the gangway, tens of thousands of Chinese on the shore almost shouted, and countless people waved the small national flag of the Ming Dynasty and sang the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty, burst into tears.

For many years and generations, they suffered in Southeast Asia and lived a humiliating and inferior life. This kind of repressive emotion was released at this moment!

And today, as the Ming Emperor set foot in Nanyang, all this will become a thing of the past.

In the future, as the people of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they will only be proud in Nanyang!

Dozens of lion dance teams and more than a dozen dragon dance teams on the shore vent their pride as a Chinese among firecrackers and gongs.

Zhu Cilang stood on the gangway, feeling the enthusiasm of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and couldn't help but wave to them.
Chapter completed!
