Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 313 The Gunshots in Chinatown

The insidiousness of the Spaniards is still very powerful. Salcedo wants to cleanse the Chinese in the city, but he doesn't want the Spaniards to do it. This will give the Ming army an excuse. After all, the Spaniards have launched two massacres against the Chinese. , and this is also the main reason why the Ming army wants to punish Spain.

Salcedo's solution was to find the local natives.

The aborigines living in Southeast Asia basically have one characteristic, that is, because of the superiority of the natural environment of humidity and heat, they can feed themselves without spending too much time. The food falls directly from the trees, or Just collect it directly.Therefore, the indigenous people in tropical areas don’t need to work hard to find a way to produce. Everyone is similar. They don’t need to eat too much, and they can play happily after eating.

But then the colonists came, and the Spaniards directly enslaved the local natives, which made the natives upset but couldn't resist.The Chinese immigrants from China are industrious, and they stop thinking of ways to plant, do business and manufacture handmade products all the time. This makes the Chinese who can accumulate more wealth through hard work naturally attracted by the local aborigines. dissatisfaction.

The dissatisfaction of the aborigines will not be that it is incorrect to think that the Chinese are hardworking. They will simply attribute it to the fact that the Chinese came to this land and robbed them of their wealth.Moreover, there is a widespread situation in Southeast Asia. The Europeans will make the Chinese with production skills, hard work, intelligence and sincerity into the middle class, let them be responsible for organizing production, and replace the Europeans to enslave the local aborigines. contradiction.

Therefore, in many anti-Chinese incidents in Southeast Asia, the Europeans did not need to rush to the front. They only needed to instruct the local natives, and it was enough to cause a big mess.

This time the Spaniards also directly approached the local native leaders and gave them weapons to deal with the Chinese.

Soon, a large number of natives rushed into Chinatown with various simple weapons.

Chen Baoquan's son, Chen Shigong, held a standard M1 rifle of the Ming Dynasty Fuguo Army in his hand. He lay on the courtyard wall of the Chen family's mansion, and saw a large number of natives rushing towards their house, yelling.

Chen Shigong was extremely nervous, he hurriedly turned his head and said to the people in the yard who were preparing: "Here they come! They are natives!"

Chen Baoquan praised: "Sure enough, as Brother Che expected, the Spaniards sent these natives to deal with us."

Che Quzhi held a pocket watch in his hand, and said lightly: "The words of the natives are less stressful for us to defend. We don't need to hold on for long, at most twelve hours, and my Ming Marine Corps will start landing. .”

Chen Shigong shouted at this time: "Brothers, kill these natives!"

The natives outside the wall were also extraordinarily excited. A small native leader shouted: "Break into the Chinese's house. The Chinese's house is full of property. Whoever grabs it will own it!"

Almost every native has red eyes. They didn't know the gap between the rich and the poor before, but now they feel jealous when they see what the Chinese have.They feel that they are the ones who should have these wealth, and the Chinese can die.

The local Chinese armed forces in Manila defending the main houses are all young and strong, and everyone has a blood of their own, especially after the car went straight to Manila, they began to give these local Chinese young and strong organization, and taught them Proper military training methods.

Of course, the more important thing is actually a psychological factor. The Chinese in Luzon now know that Daming has turned defeat into victory, and His Royal Highness, the wise and mighty Crown Prince, is about to regain the entire country.Daming is still the most powerful country in the world, a central dynasty that no one dares to underestimate.Moreover, the imperial court supported those ordinary people who left their homes and went to Nanyang to beg for a living. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will turn Luzon into the land of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and there will be officials from the Ming Dynasty to manage it.The common people can live and work in peace and contentment here, they can open schools to teach their children and grandchildren, and they can really spread their branches and leaves.

After all, the Chinese people's sense of belonging to their motherland is a historical tradition.

And a foreign regime like Spain, not to mention the two large-scale massacres of Chinese, and the exploitation and various squeezes of the Spaniards will make their hard work in vain.

However, Chen Baoquan and other wealthy Chinese families in Luzon were more thoughtful.The Chen family originally had members of the same family as public officials in Fujian, and they were promised that when Luzon became the Xuanwei Division, the children of the family could study in the newly established Xuanwei Division Imperial College in Luzon and then pursue an official career.Moreover, the Chen family already has maritime business. If they capture Luzon this time, the Chen family will definitely gain greater benefits from Luzon trade.

At this moment, the Chinese armed forces, who were nervous but as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, opened fire.Under the leadership of some professionals who have received local military training, many Chinese brothers have not shot a few times at all, but they still fire with everyone.

Chen Shigong also aimed at the enemy clumsily. After he shot, he found that he couldn't hit the target at all, but a guy next to the target fell down while supporting his bleeding knee.

The natives rushed up in such a dense manner that there was no need for precise shooting at all. In this alley, intensive firing was enough.

Chen Shigong took out a cardboard bullet from the ammunition belt hanging on his body, opened the trigger and sent it in, and continued to aim and shoot.His skills are not as good as those of real soldiers of the Ming Army, but the M1 rifle is a very reliable and easy-to-use weapon. Many people died.

The natives didn't expect that they rushed up and covered their heads and faces and were shot, so they were completely confused and started to retreat.

The other houses and alleys were similar scenes. The natives seemed to rush up aggressively and were beaten back by a round of intensive shooting. They were not organized at all. Many of them were originally from nearby tribes. Being enslaved to do some work, eat some bananas, and not master more skills and culture.

The intensive gunfire from the Manila neighborhood finally surprised the Spaniards.

"What, you said that there were a lot of gunshots from the place where the Chinese lived, and those indigenous people were driven back? Damn it, I knew that these Chinese people had premeditated! They have already hidden their troops in Manila. This is The magistrate’s dereliction of duty, there is an enemy army right under our noses but has not been discovered, do we have to wait until they put a knife on my neck before reacting?” Salcedo was furious.
