With the Spaniards' urinary temperament, once a war breaks out and the Chinese start an uprising, suppression and massacre will be inevitable!
The Zamboanga Plan has been guarding against this move from beginning to end, and every region has a plan to save itself!
Moving to the north of Luzon is one way, but the number of people cannot be too many. Once too many are involved, it will arouse the suspicion of the colonial government!
The most fundamental way is to save oneself. Each region forms its own Chinese militia. Once the north raises the banner of uprising, the Chinese in the south must gather to protect themselves.
Nanyang is a place with a low population density and many mountains and rainforests. As long as you hide in the forest and have a fighting guerrilla force in hand, you can sustain it for a year or two.
With the virtues of the indigenous people and the Spanish army, they have no interest in going deep into the rainforest and risking their lives with the Chinese! Moreover, the war in the north is getting more and more intense, and the garrisons from various places will definitely have to be withdrawn to the north.
Then these Chinese groups who have formed guerrillas to protect themselves will be safe for the time being. This battle will definitely be won quickly. The only thing that will take time is the later diplomatic negotiations. However, the head of state judged that one year is enough for no matter how difficult the negotiations are. .
The Chinese people in the Philippines will suffer for a year, but the days to come will be sweet!
After the war broke out, everything went smoothly according to plan. The uprising flag was raised in the north of Luzon Island, and the four rebel armies were rampaging and fighting the Spaniards everywhere.
The Chinese in the southern Philippines quickly fled their hometown. They set fire to their fields and houses, entered the rainforest without hesitation and began to deal with the military and police. Although the conditions were extremely difficult, they could at least survive.
However, the Manila area is an exception. After all, this is the capital area of the Philippines ruled by the Spanish. The Chinese forces have been severely suppressed. In addition, the number of Chinese is too large and it is impossible for them all to retreat to the north.
As for fighting guerrillas, it is even more impossible. There are nearly 100,000 troops stationed here. How can we fight guerrillas?
War is not a game for cowards, nor is it accessible to women. Necessary casualties are inevitable. When the northern uprising began, the Chinese who did not evacuate from Manila were suppressed by the Spanish government.
All Chinese property in the city was confiscated, and thugs began to attack the Chinese, burning, killing, and looting. In the first few days, the suburbs of Manila were full of Chinese fleeing.
At this juncture, the gangs installed by the CIA in Manila acted quickly. They began to use force to fight against the Spanish regular army and thugs, and protected the fleeing Chinese from the city.
At its peak, a total of 20,000 Chinese gang members exchanged fire with indigenous thugs, and dozens of cold-arms fights involving more than 1,000 people broke out on the streets.
No one knows how many people died in this conflict. Anyway, in the end, both the Chinese and the indigenous people were so anxious that the blood on the streets could not be washed away even after two or three days!
The final result was that tens of thousands of Chinese escaped from Manila, while more than 7,000 people were imprisoned in concentration camps by the Spanish army. As for how many people died, they had no interest in counting.
The blood of the Chinese has stained this city red, and this time is destined to be the last time!
Botila and Enmu could never have guessed how crazy the Chinese would be. The Chinese met in the middle of the night on January 1, 1871, and just 24 hours later, in the middle of the night on January 2, the Chinese The army began to launch a large-scale attack on the Manila defense line.
"The whole army listens to the order! Today, I received an urgent telegram from General Xiao Hexin, the left-behind Chinese minister, ordering all the coalition forces to launch a general offensive tonight and invade the city of Manila before dawn!"
"The general's telegram made it very clear. What the Zamboanga plan wants is to fight with speed and slowness, to be caught off guard, and to use tactics for strategic deception!"
"This is not only the general's order, but also the spirit of the head of state's instructions in Europe!"
"Europeans ultimately do not want to see the Chinese become powerful, so we must cook the rice as soon as possible, make it a fait accompli as soon as possible, and meet our minimum strategic requirements before the British intervene!"
The Chinese speaker, General Cai Mao, stood in the combat headquarters in San Fernando City and conveyed the latest military orders to the coalition officers present. He frowned and glanced at the officers at all levels in the hall with his eyes as cold as a knife.
"I know you are in trouble, and I know the soldiers are very tired, but time waits for no one! Our intelligence officers in Manila have just sent the latest information!"
"The Spaniards are ready to use 7,000 Chinese prisoners as human shields, and they will send them to the battlefield tomorrow to threaten us!"
"This is the thing that we are most afraid of before the war begins, and it is also the thing that worries the head of state the most!"
"The enemy is despicable, so we can't take any chances. Although we have more than 2,000 Spanish prisoners in the rear, it will take at least a week to assemble before they are sent to the front!"
"What's more, we can't place our hopes on the mercy of the enemy, and we can't bargain with the enemy like bandits!"
"We can't set this precedent! If we shrink back this time because of the hostage threat, then the powers around the world will watch and follow our example!"
"In the future, other powers will also use this method when they go to war with us!"
"We must destroy their illusions! In order to prevent our compatriots from increasing casualties, we must also dispel the enemy's wishful thinking! The only way is for us to fight tooth and nail!"
"Launch an attack when the enemy is most unbelievable! Fight fast and slow, and use our powerful combat power to quickly annihilate the enemy! Invade Manila, destroy the enemy's command center, and end this war completely!"
"Warriors of the Chinese nation! Tigers of the head of state! All Chinese people support you with every copper they have earned so hard!"
"It is precisely because of the support of all the people that you have better bayonets, rifles, military uniforms, and leather boots than the Spanish! You even have better food than the Spanish regular army!"
"The balance of victory is all on our side. If we don't work hard now, how long will we wait?"
"Nine o'clock tonight! The entire army will attack in three directions according to the established plan! We will enter Manila City at dawn!"
"In forty-eight hours, General Xiao Hoxin's fleet and Brunei's army will enter Manila by sea!"
"One battle will determine the outcome! This is the day!"
There was a neat collision sound, and all the officers present stood at attention and saluted, "Dare you fight to the death? Use my blood to sacrifice Xuanyuan, and use my life to support China!"
At nine o'clock in the middle of the night on January 2, just when the Spanish positions were relaxing their vigilance, a continuous sound of bugles suddenly sounded from the Chinese camp in the distance, and then the entire sky lit up.
Hundreds of fireworks shot up into the sky along the Chinese position, exploding bright flames in mid-air, and the entire front was outlined by this light.
Under the lights, the camp gates and fences were pushed down, and thousands of heavily armed Chinese troops launched a surprise attack to the south!
Night fight! The Spaniards never imagined that the Chinese would be brave enough to start a night battle!
