Chapter 1035 Luzon Blood Case

There are not many white people in the Nanyang sea, including Malacca and Banten, the Javanese generation was Portuguese, and Luzon was Spanish.

For the Portuguese and the Spanish, the unified name in the Ming Dynasty was both Franciscans, but some people called Spain the Great Luzon, and the meaning of the acquisition was the Little Luzon in Southeast Asia.

The Jesuit priests who preached in the Ming Dynasty and businessmen were mainly Portuguese, not to mention that in Macau, Guangdong, the Portuguese had a small stronghold there, although Guangdong local officials also had complete law enforcement power in Macau.

The Portuguese had various connections in the Ming Dynasty, and their interests were entangled, so they had always maintained a friendly attitude towards the Ming Dynasty and the Han people. Of course, this was also the result of several invasions that were overestimated and were hit by the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the Portuguese, the extremely conservative Spaniards were much more barbaric. Although Spain was going downhill in this era, they discovered the Americas, conquered the Inca Empire, and achieved colonies in Africa, Asia and America. These victories and glory, coupled with their extreme belief in Catholicism in China, made the Spaniards extremely arrogant and proud, and thought they were the elected people of God, and the noblest race in the world. Speaking of which, the Portuguese achieved similar results to the Spanish in the great voyage and colonization, but they were much more pragmatic.

As for Portugal and Spain sharing the world equally under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church, the Spaniards felt that they were the king of the world.

Around the seventh year of Wanli, Spain and Portugal merged, but the Portuguese did not recognize this merger. They still did their own business, but the Spanish became even more inflated because of this.

Arrogance and arrogance, as well as extreme religious beliefs (the bastard Inquisition only existed in Spain and Rome at that time). The Spanish hated the more civilized Ming and atheistic Han people, and at the same time, they had coveted the Ming Dynasty, a place where wealth gathered for a long time.

A Spanish governor once wrote a letter to the country, saying that he could conquer China by giving him 20,000 soldiers, which shows how arrogant they were.

However, although there is arrogance and extreme hatred, Luzon's development still cannot count on the local natives who are lazy and not much better than monkeys, and still require hardworking Han people.

More and more Han people went to Luzon, forming villages and towns, developing a large number of fertile fields and manors for planting fruits, allowing various Ming dynasties to enrich the local market, and also making the local Spanish extremely luxurious and extremely rich. According to a letter from a priest, "The most humble soldiers here can also be compared with the landlords outside Madrid in terms of food and clothing, and even surpass some low-ranking nobles."

They got such benefits from the Han people, but the number of Han people became more and the local Spanish were afraid. They felt that the Han people would compete with them for this colony and drove them out. Moreover, the wealth in the hands of the Han people was already enough. The Spanish regarded them as ripe fruits. It was time to pick and harvest. Compared with the two reasons, the latter was more.

It is a pity that the kind and simple Han people came to Luzon across the ocean. They had a place to settle down and had a means to support themselves. They were already grateful. How could they have any other thoughts? They thought that if they were just keeping themselves here, they could keep their own peace, but they thought that someone had already sharpened their knives.

At the beginning, conflicts broke out between the indigenous people of Luzon and the villages. The local Han people swallowed their anger and did not dare to fight with them. They even raised money to send people to Manila to ask Spanish officials to mediate.

But the Spaniards ignored it at all, but instead issued a decree saying that such conflicts were caused entirely because of the bravery and fierce fighting of the Han people, so they had to confiscate the Han people's weapons and allow the natives to defend themselves.

The promulgation of such policies is undoubtedly a bit contemptuous indigenous people who are even more rampant. The lazy natives see that the Han people are getting rich day by day, but they don’t think it is because of the hard work and economy of the Han people. Instead, they are jealous of them for robbing their wealth and territory. Once such indulgence is used, they become even more rampant.

There are many natives, but they are really wasteful. In front of the young and strong Han people who protect their homes, they cannot take much advantage, but instead suffer from setbacks everywhere.

At this time, the Spanish took action. In Luzon, there were only more than 1,900 male Spanish men, including about 1,200 soldiers. Including those who can fight, there can be almost 1,800.

Don’t underestimate these 1,800 people. The Spanish infantry of this era is known as the strongest infantry in Europe. The combination of muskets and spears originated from Spain.

With the participation of these 800 people, the Han people could not form any resistance, and not everyone wanted to resist. Many people also felt that the "foreign government" was just to ask for money, and when they gave it money, they would buy peace. If they went to make trouble with those rebellious villagers, wouldn't that cause trouble?

It is precisely this mentality that the Han people who had the advantage in numbers were calmly defeated by the Spanish and the natives, and then massacred them.

Although the natives were not as good as monkeys, they were considered humans after all. After the Spanish and natives completely divided and surrounded the Han people in Luzon, disaster came.

The Governor of Luzon in Spain issued a decree, and all Han people were divided into 300 people and one house. They were subject to verification and those who were determined to be good people could return to their homes. At this time, the Han people no longer had any ability to resist and had to obey orders. Some even had fantasies that they believed that after this time, everyone could go home safely.

Three hundred people were in one courtyard, just to make it easier to massacre. Seeing the Han people obediently, the original worry of the Spanish and Luzon natives disappeared, and they began to go crazy.

The Spanish supervised the formation, the natives beat the vanguard, and began to slaughter the Han people. At this time, even if they found it bad, they could no longer escape. The fields they worked hard to cultivate, the manors they developed, and the wealth they accumulated would fall into the hands of the Spanish. Their brothers and nephews would be killed by the natives, and their wives, girls and sisters would be inhumanely humiliated.

In the 16th year of Wanli, Luzon was a hell for the Han people. The entire Luzon was filled with the blood of the Han people, and the land in many parts of Luzon became more fertile because it was made of Han people's flesh and blood.

No one knew such a tragedy and such killing in the Ming Dynasty, and no one even cared about the fate of these Han people in Nanyang.

After leaving the territory of the Ming Dynasty and crossing the ocean to a foreign land, they were abandoned in the eyes of the Ming officials and scholars and even the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were not worthy of concern.

It is already very remote, seventy miles northwest of Manila. There were two villages of Han people there, but now it has naturally become a wasteland.

This place is not suitable for sailing, and there are no ports or other things, but the boats are sailing and anchoring at the docking place. It is easy to get ashore when it is put down a small boat. There is a rule for sailing on the sea, that is, you cannot do this at night, because it is easy to hit the reef or get stranded, and such a thing happens at night, and there is no assistance.

But now it is obvious that no one cares about that. A three-masted wide boat was parked not far from the coast. Everyone on the boat was lying on the side of the boat and looked around. The boss of the boat whispered from time to time, because there were too many people lying over, and the boat was a little tilted.

"Mom, it's dark and lanterns. What can you see? When the big ship of Hongmao Shengfan comes, he doesn't run away. He goes back to work on his own affairs. Scars and eyes, you have taken the wind lamp. If Bai Wu's ship goes wrong, throw it down and feed the turtle!"

"Torch! Torch!!"

Several people on the boat shouted, and the torches could be seen shaking there, and the wind lamps were quickly shaken here.

Not long after, a small boat approached the Guangbo. Someone looked down and said in surprise:

"Not only Bai Wu, but also two people, put the net down."

The hook and a net of hemp rope were scattered. The people on the boat first hung the hook on the boat, then climbed onto the boat along the net. As soon as they stepped on the deck, two people suddenly collapsed on the ground, but the other shouted:

"Whoever has been eating dry food for them? It has been half a month since they were raw."

Someone hurriedly handled it, but others hurriedly gathered around and asked in a verbal way. But they were kneeling on the ground with the man, and burst into tears and said in a hoarse voice:

"There are only two of them left in Baijia Village, and the rest are gone. All of them are killed by Shengfan, and the corpse is gone."

The people all over the boat were gasping for breath, and the two people slumped on the boat also cried:

"It's so miserable. Chunni's child is not spared. She was picked on the spear by the child. The fourth brother's wife was ruined to death. They didn't even spare the child."

Some of the people on the boat were cursing loudly, while others were hurriedly lifting the sails and anchoring. The boss of the boat walked over and said:

"Brother Bai Wu, you have seen it too. It's a blessing that two people have saved them. I dare not stay here for too long. You can take a few more glances and kowtows, and we're leaving."

Bai Wu was a young man in his early twenties. He was tall, but he was not as strong and dark as a person who ran to Southeast Asia. He looked like a scholar. When he heard this, Bai Wu kowtowed a few times in the direction of the shore. After kowtow, he couldn't help crying again.

The boss of the boat waited for him to finish crying, and walked to him and whispered:

"Brother Bai Wu, if you ask your brothers to come this time, you have spent all the money on you. You should accept these five taels of silver and go back to Guangdong to find a living. This disaster is a big disaster, God is blind."

Bai Wu wiped his tears and took the silver. He stayed there for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice:
