    "Go, prepare for a grand ceremony, this is a great victory!"

    The Governor of the Philippines, Coquera, appointed by the Spanish royal family, smiled and gave orders to the provincial governor, bishop, judges, and military officers.

    Governor Sanders was a little scared: "Your Excellency, the emperor of China, will he send troops to retaliate?"

    Coquera reassured everyone and said: "No, the emperor of China only rules the local people, and they don't care about the lives of overseas people. Fifty years ago, we killed the Chinese in the Philippines, and the emperor of China did not send troops to fight. Forty years  Before, we killed the Chinese in the Philippines, and the Chinese emperor also did not send troops. Of course, the Chinese emperor is very concerned about saving face, and we should send a mission to apologize. Just take out gifts, kneel down and apologize to him, claiming that the Filipino Chinese rioted,  The Emperor of China will certainly not pursue it."

    "This is the best way, Your Excellency Governor, please send envoys as soon as possible." Sanders said.

    Coquella said: "Mr. Governor, you are in charge of selling the properties of those Chinese, and every gentleman present has a share."

    "Thank you, Your Excellency, the kind and generous Governor." Everyone immediately cheered and praised.

    ?In addition to eliminating the threat of too many Han Chinese, Coquila's slaughter of Chinese people this time is also to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

    Just this year, Spain suffered major defeats in both Europe and the Americas.

    Spain's coastal colonial strongholds in Chile were all pulled out by the Netherlands, and the Pacific route was directly cut off.  In other words, Spain's American fleet could not transport goods to the Philippines, but could only return to Europe through the Atlantic Ocean.

    Spain lost disastrously to France in the Battle of Rocroix and the Battle of Cartagena, losing its European and Mediterranean hegemony.

    The Spanish royal family's finances are getting worse and worse, and the governor of the Philippines is even worse.

    The American fleet could not get through, and the spice channel was blocked by the Netherlands. Every shipment of spices had to pay taxes to the Netherlands.

    Moreover, in order to save money, Coquila reduced the garrison in Keelung two years ago.  Zhao Han took the opportunity to set up Keelung County, which was tantamount to recovering Keelung without bloodshed. Spain had only one trade point in Taiwan, and this trade point had to be governed by Chinese officials.

    News has come from the mainland of Spain that Coquera will be convicted. In history, this bastard was imprisoned in Spain for four years because he lost Taiwan.

    ?Desperately short of money in hand, and was about to be arrested and punished, Coquella came up with a vicious plan.

    Kill all the Chinese in the Philippines and share the robbed money with everyone. The financial deficit can be reversed in an instant, and a lot of officials can be bought.  He can also leave a sum and take it back to Spain to bribe the royal family to avoid punishment for himself.

    As for killing all the Chinese and causing the Philippine colony to fail to operate, the bad consequences have nothing to do with Coquila?

    His term of office as governor is coming to an end, just leave it to the next governor to have a headache!

    In the Jiannei Chinese settlement outside Manila, only some of the outer buildings were burned.  Those vicious guys are reluctant to burn them all, because the Chinese district is very rich, and many goods can be snatched by the opportunity.

    Spanish military officers led the army and rushed into the Chinese district to rob everywhere. The few Chinese who did not escape would be killed even if they handed over their property.

    However, Spanish civilians and indigenous civilians traveled further afield in groups.  Because there are Chinese villages nearby, it is estimated that there are still some Chinese who have not had time to escape, so they can take the opportunity to kill people and rob things.

    More than a dozen Chinese business leaders were collectively escorted outside the city.

    They begged in pain, because the Philippine Governor had promised that no matter what happened, they would protect their lives and properties.

    However, to no avail, they were dragged to the river and killed.

    It was the same forty years ago. Many Chinese businessmen betrayed their compatriots, and even a rebel leader rebelled.  Just because the provincial governor Akuna promised to take them into the city and protect their lives and properties.

    As a result, he died as soon as he entered the city. It was a booby-killing operation.

    All Filipino Chinese know about this incident, but there are still merchants who repeat the same mistakes, with a sad trace of luck in their hearts.  However, more Chinese businessmen learned their lesson and fled without hesitation, even resisting when they were intercepted by the chasing soldiers

    swampy area.

    The chasing soldiers stood on the periphery and hesitated. They didn't want to chase in. It would be bad if they got stuck in a swamp.

    There are a total of six Spanish officers on horseback, 106 Spanish musketeers, more than 300 Japanese mercenaries, and the remaining 2,000 are all Pampanga.

    Commander Blanco was silent, he was very envious of Chinese goods.

    There are more than 10,000 Chinese living in Jiannei, and at least 3,000 of them managed to escape into the swamp, and they must have brought a lot of gold and silver.

    mopping up??Those who are over twelve years old are all organized as soldiers, and the military system is exactly the same as that of the Datong Army.

    There are three military laws: all supplies belong to the public, no oppression of compatriots is allowed, and those who disobey orders will die!

    In a group of ten people, search for food on the spot.

    What can be in the swamp?

    It's nothing more than grass roots, insects and ants. If you are lucky, you can get a fish.  Even these can only be eaten raw, because there is no dry wood for a fire, and no iron pots and clay pots for cooking.

    Fortunately, someone with a compass can recognize the direction!

    ? While searching for food, they hurried on the road, and after another four days of walking, these refugees were finally brought out of the swamp.  Of the 3,294 people who were reorganized, only 2,616 died of illness, starvation, and drowning, and only 12 of the 45 children died.

    The only good news is that everyone is very obedient, there is no internal strife, and no power seizure.

    ?Because they were so hungry that they were weak all over, more or less sick, and just wanted to get something to eat quickly to survive.

    "There is a red-haired ghost's manor in the northwest. The third shopkeeper and I went there to collect mountain goods." A clerk offered to provide information.

    Wan Zhaoan asked, "Is there any firecrackers?"

    The buddy nodded: "Yes! The red-haired ghosts have firecrackers in their hands. I have seen them go hunting in the mountains."

    Wan Zhaoan continued to advance with his troops, and two more died in half a year, whether they died of illness or starvation.

    Finally, they approached a sugar cane plantation in the afternoon.

    The surrounding area is densely packed with sugarcane. According to the guy, in the center of the sugarcane garden is the house of the red-haired ghost.

    Wan Zhaoan warned these people: "There will be a war soon. You have all become familiar with your superiors in the past few days. Remember, soldiers must follow the corps leader, and the corps leader must obey the orders of the chief, and the chief must obey the captain's orders."  Order Quietly pass through the sugarcane field. The sugarcane forest is very large. If you keep ordering, you will easily get separated. If you get separated, you will not be able to get out. The first group followed me to the east, and the second group followed Lei Xiucai to the west. Immediately  action!"

    This order, spoken from Wan Zhaoan's mouth, was forgotten by everyone in a blink of an eye.

    More than 2,000 half-starved refugees rushed into the sugarcane fields, broke off the sugarcane and gnawed on it, seeming to have forgotten all about the war.

    Wan Zhaoan suppressed his anger and said: "Get up, there are plenty of big fish and meat in the red-haired ghost's house!"

    A young man who was a shoemaker said: "Marshal, let everyone eat a few bites first. If you don't eat sugarcane, you won't have the strength to walk."

    It was really gnawing, not only chewing sugarcane water, but also swallowing all the bagasse because everyone was so hungry.

    Perhaps it was because more than 2,000 people broke sugar cane, and the commotion was too great, and soon a few natives came running, yelling something.

    "kill!"

    Wan Zhaoan drew his sword and rushed forward, and everyone also rushed forward with sugar cane sticks.
