Chapter 881 Strength from top to bottom

The atmosphere in Manila is very strange, like a dead city.

With the bloody suppression of the Spanish colonial army, the corners of the walls and the roadside were covered with black blood stains, and black blood stains were dragged far away on the ground, and the blood stains were mixed with some fragments of flesh and blood.

In all streets and alleys, corrupt corpses lying across the streets and alleys waiting to be restrained can be seen everywhere, including Chinese and native corpses.

The vicious sun shone directly in Manila at noon. The maggots crawled around and the corpses of flies flew gradually spread out a stinking smell, which made people feel so disgusting that they couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, there are basically no one on the streets, and both Chinese and natives have hid in their homes.

The surviving Chinese people heard the news of the Ming Emperor's southern tour from somewhere. They said it word by word, and everyone heard it was extremely excited and full of expectations. They hoped that the Ming Dynasty could take over Nanyang!

This news is like a bolt from the blue for the Spanish and indigenous peoples.

Some Chinese suddenly had hope of revenge in their hearts. Their homes were stolen, their shops were burned, and their families were killed, and their families were killed.

Once a person reaches this point, revenge is the only hope and will become lifeless!

They had red eyes and formed a team to sway in the streets, waiting for opportunities to find the natives to provoke and avenge them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Manila City was extremely tense, and the air seemed to have solidified.

Although the local indigenous people hated the Chinese, they had just been suppressed by the Spanish colonial army and did not dare to go out to the streets easily. They could only watch these Chinese walk sideways.

There was an indigenous man who wanted to go out to steal things secretly, but unfortunately he was surrounded by a group of Chinese people seeking revenge.

"You lowly black monkey, you dare to come out!"

A young Chinese pointed at the indigenous man and made a voice insult, and began physical contact such as pushing and shoving.

During the riot, his parents were innocently killed by these indigenous people, and their shops were looted and finally burned out!

The native man obviously dissatisfied and grinned at the young Chinese, even making a seemingly fierce intimidation action.

"A bad, greedy dog ​​guy, dare to talk back, kneel down and kowtow to me!"

The young Chinese picked up the stick in his hand, slammed it on his head, and shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, several Chinese people around came to beat the natives and asked him to kneel down and kowtow.

Not far away, several Spanish colonial troops were watching this scene silently, just like when the indigenous people beat the Chinese some time ago, they were indifferent.

Since the news of the Ming Emperor coming to Nanyang spread, the situation in Luzon has undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally weak Chinese have become a strong side, while the previously arrogant local natives have become a suppressed side.

This is the difference between a tiger leading a flock of sheep and a sheep leading a flock of tigers!

Of course, this is also attributed to the substantive actions taken by the Ming army!

In the Governor's Office, Governor Salquedo and Archbishop Aknia were arguing, and they were quarreling with each other.

The Archbishop mercilessly rebuked the Governor's incompetent decisions and various actions during this period, making the Governor's House and the Church very passive.

The Habsburg dynasty in Spain regarded itself as the protector of Catholicism. The church had a great influence in Spain and its colonies. The power of the archbishop was no less than that of the governor in Luzon.

The power of the Governor was limited to the city of Manila and its surrounding areas, and had the right to mobilize the Spanish colonial army.

The Archbishop controls the tribal villages and communities at the grassroots level in Luzon. The pastors sent by the church to the indigenous tribes are grassroots civil affairs officials and have the power to collect taxes, trials, punishes, and execute sentences on the indigenous people.

During the riots, a large part of the indigenous people were instigated by missionaries.

Now that the Ming army has controlled most of the Spanish colonies outside Manila City, it means that it has invaded the church's sphere of influence. How could Aknia, as the archbishop, not be angry?

Governor Salctor could not refute, but was unwilling to be scolded like a grandson. The more they quarreled, the more they became, and they almost cursed each other.

At this moment, the guards of the Governor's Office came in to report that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had sent an envoy.

The two immediately stopped quarrels and could get into the position of the governor and the archbishop of the district. They would never be incompetent. They could still remain consistent when it comes to the outside world.

A moment later, a general in front of the imperial court, wearing a python robe pressed his sword in his hand and walked into the living room of the Governor's Mansion. He looked around, his face full of solemnity and powerful:

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty ordered the Spanish Governor's Office to report the specific number of casualties in the riots of the Chinese in Manila within three days. No mistakes shall be made. Those who are wrong shall die!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without saying a word, regardless of whether the translator was present, whether the two Western monkeys in the hall could understand it.

After the old housekeeper's word for word translation, Governor Salctor's face turned pale.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too much and even regarded his dignified governor as a servant!

The archbishop next to him looked bad, and this Ming emperor was even more domineering than the rumors. Even the Pope's crown prince would not dare to fight or kill so strongly!

Both of them felt a lot of pressure. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid it will be bad!

.........

Zhu Cilang's imperial dean was in Fort Santiago, an ancient Philippine royal city known as the "Sacred Land of Freedom".

Fort Santiago is the name of the first Spanish governor. It is also the guy who converted the hamlet originally surrounded by wooden fences into a stone castle, built a moat, built a tower on the city wall that is ten meters thick, and equipped with a fortress.

This castle made great contributions to the Spanish colonial army and ruthlessly acted as a defensive position for the colonial rulers.

However, a major earthquake occurred here a few years ago, and the fortress was almost abandoned, and the Spaniards had not had time to repair it.

This is also why the Ming army was at the city and the Spanish army retreated without a single shot because they could not defend at all!

The result of forcibly defending the city is that it can only be slaughtered by the Ming army! All the ashes are raised to you!

In the city, Zhu Cixuan lives in a restaurant run by Chinese.

Chinese people have a profound attainment in food. There are many Chinese people opening hotels in Nanyang, and this one is considered the highest-end one.

During the riots, most Chinese hotels were robbed and some were burned out, and the restaurant was relatively damaged.

The restaurant shopkeeper's wife and daughter died in the riot. He survived the trouble when he went to the Daming Commercial Site to purchase goods.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty stayed in a restaurant, which made the shopkeeper feel very honored. He wanted to serve the emperor himself, but was politely stopped by the eunuchs.
