"This terrible national power!"
Captain Velasco looked at the Ming army warships surrounding them and couldn't help but think of the batches of Ming army naval patrols he had encountered before, so he sighed to Pedro.
Pedro here had a sullen expression and said nothing, only looking at the Ming navy warship that was approaching him.
"General, the national power of the Ming Dynasty is too terrible. If they really want to take away our Philippines, we may not be able to defend the Philippines."
"Besides, there are still many Han Chinese in the Philippines."
Velasco spoke again.
Pedro finally said: "We must defend it even if we can't. The Philippines is too important to us! It is related to our national destiny!"
"So, we have to ask our Emperor to mobilize more troops as soon as possible, plus spend more money to recruit local natives and buy people from Japan, train more soldiers and horses, and build more warships!"
"In addition, all Han Chinese in the Philippines must be slaughtered first!"
Pedro then whispered again, and then looked at Velasco.
Velasco nodded and said, "But now we have to be able to go back."
"Try your best and rush out!"
Pedro said.
So Pedro's Manila galleon immediately began to turn.
At that time.
Seeing this, the sentry on the Ming army hurriedly put down his clairvoyance and shouted to the Ming army attaché below, General Ma Ang: "General! These thieves want to escape and refuse to be inspected!"
"Then just shoot him!"
This boss Ma Ang immediately ordered.
"yes!"
As a result, the Ming army immediately began to light the match ropes behind the artillery.
Boom boom!
Not long after, the Ming warships began to fire cannons at Pedro's Manila galleon, and the divine fire crows also flew over like a large group of seabirds with fire tails.
Pedro's Manila galleon was blown to pieces on the spot, causing many people to become unstable, and the soft sails immediately burned.
However, the Xiyi soldiers on the sailboat were also prepared to put out the fire. Some Xiyi soldiers began to use the water dragons learned from the Ming Dynasty folk to put out the fire and save the sail. At the same time, other Xiyi soldiers also began to use artillery to fight back.
However, the Ming army had too many warships, and many wave-sailing boats were almost close to the belly of his ship. They used artillery and rockets to attack his hull desperately, making it difficult for the Manila galleon that wanted to escape.
Pedro had to draw his knife and wait for the approaching Ming troops to board the ship and kill them.
But the Ming army did not board the ship, but only used artillery fire from a distance, and used divine fire and flying crows to burn his soft sails.
In the end, the Manila galleon was bombarded with many large holes in its hull and began to sink. At the same time, its soft sails burned out and it completely lost power.
Pedro and others were also captured by the Ming army from the sea.
Even Bian Liansheng, a Ming army soldier who was captured by Xiyi, was rescued.
Ma Ang also learned about the causes and consequences of the Manila galleon's appearance here through Bian Liansheng and Li Liangying, and asked Bian Liansheng, "So you were born secretly?"
Bian Liansheng only lowered his head and said nothing.
Bang!
Ma Ang gave him a kick directly: "Skeleton!"
Then, Ma Ang walked out of the cabin.
Bian Liansheng fell to the ground without saying a word, and the soldiers guarding them looked at him with contempt.
This made him dare not raise his head.
Bang bang!
Pedro was already being punched and kicked by Maang.
"You are a stupid thief who dares to torture and kill our Han family members and even our brothers in the army. If you hadn't been sent to the capital to taste the taste of being chopped up, I would have killed you today!"
After Maang beat Pedro until his face was bruised and bruised, he didn't beat him again. He only mentioned him and said this, then slammed him to the ground, and then turned around and left the cabin where Pedro was held.
Pedro looked at Ma Ang's leaving figure in despair, and suddenly roared heartbreakingly, and then tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
…
Capital.
On this day, when Zhu Yijun was looking at the court, Qi Jiguang took the initiative to go out of the class first and said:
"Your Majesty! The country of Folangji invaded our sea territory, killed our officers and soldiers, massacred my people, and desecrated the imperial majesty. Failure to punish would not be enough to uphold the country's prestige, and failure to repay would not be enough to secure the country. Therefore, I request an order to ban trade and sever relations with Dafo Langji in advance. , and evacuate the overseas Chinese immediately, and wait for an opportunity to declare war!"
"allow!"
"Send an envoy to inform the Folangji people who invaded Luzon that they should cooperate with me in the Ming Dynasty to evacuate overseas Chinese. If they are unwilling and want to harm our merchants and people, then on the day of war, this dynasty will not say any kindness to them!"
"We warn all municipal shipping departments that from now on, no civilian ships are allowed to go to Manila, and those who go will be punished as trampling barbarians!"
Zhu Yijun replied with a stern face.
"yes!"
At this point, Ming Dynasty has taken a step further in expanding to Luzon.
After that, Maquina was also escorted to Beijing.
Zhu Yijun ordered that all the Western Yi people be put to death in Lingchi, their bones crushed and ashes raised. After their ashes were collected and worshiped in the Ancestral Temple, they were scattered in various farms to fertilize the land of China.
At the same time, all the Japanese pirates hired by Maquina were beheaded and their ashes were also crushed.
Doing this is an explanation to the soldiers and horses who died tragically.
Maquina never imagined that as a high-class person from the West, he would one day be escorted to the Lingchi frame of the Easterners.
Now his face was full of horror, and he looked at the unfamiliar faces outside in horror.
"ah!"
And when the knife cut off the first piece of flesh on his body, he screamed, and finally began to show regret in his eyes. He regretted coming to this east and regretting wanting to conquer this place.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
"Don't tell me!"
Shortly after the Western barbarians were beheaded in Maquina, Pedro was also escorted to Beijing, and was also tortured and questioned about the situation in Manila and the Western countries.
Pedro could bear it at first, but in the end he couldn't help but cry: "I said it, I said it!"
After Pedro explained everything, he, along with Li Liangying and others, were executed in the city by Zhu Yijun's order.
When he was being chopped up, Pedro was trembling all over. He seemed to see many people who had been slaughtered coming to claim his life and biting his flesh, so that he could only scream.
The people were very excited when watching the execution, and many of them even cheered loudly.
This is because Zhu Yijun has asked the government to organize the soldiers and civilians of Huangshan who were invaded by the Western Barbarians to publicize the process of the Western Barbarians' invasion of Huangshan in temples, markets and other gathering places. He also asked major official newspapers to report Pedro and Ma The ambitions and plans of Quina and others who wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty and enslave the Han people were reported, and schools were organized to organize anti-invasion activities in the market. In short, they wanted to awaken the people's national consciousness and know that the imperial court's attack on Luzon had nothing to do with them. , It is not that the emperor is personally overjoyed.
"They kill everyone they see, even children."
On this day, the Han people who were victims of Huangshan were ordered by the government to tell a group of people at Jiming Temple in Nanjing about the invasion of Huangshan by the Western Barbarians.
Suddenly, a line of white smoke appeared in the woods on the side of Jiming Temple.
The sound of a cannon followed a moment later, hitting a big hole in the chest of the Han victim who was speaking.
The Jin Yiwei guarding here was shocked and hurriedly chased towards the place where the white smoke appeared.
At the same time, the governor Li Zhi who was also here couldn't help but said to Su Yao with a stern face: "Someone doesn't want the court to let the people care about national politics, and even directly mobilize the people!"
Su Yao nodded.
Li Zhi glanced at the horrified crowd, as if he wanted to find the real culprit among them.
But obviously you can't find it just by looking.
Therefore, he quickly turned his attention to the place where the gunshot had just sounded.
When the Jin Yiwei chased him here, there was only a corpse that had just committed suicide in the white smoke.
The face of the deceased was calm, as if he had already prepared for today.
At this time, the injured Han citizen in Huangshan who was responsible for preaching here touched the bleeding wound, his whole body trembled, and his eyes showed fear and horror.
He didn't expect that he would die here instead of in Huangshan.
"who is it?!"
Li Zhi suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
"You do such despicable things to prevent the imperial court from letting the people know about overseas enemies. Do you still have justice in this country in your hearts?!"
Li Zhi then asked again.
Most of the soldiers and people present looked at each other in shock, and some looked sad and angry.
…
"What?"
"Being assassinated?"
After Zhu Yijun learned that the Han people who were victims of Huangshan who were sent to publicize the Huangshan incident were assassinated in Nandu, he stood up in shock.
Zhang Jingxiu replied: "Yes, it was reported that the perpetrator should have lurked in Jiming Temple in advance. Instead, someone from the government who participated in organizing the event revealed the information. It was the perpetrator who had brought a firecracker and hid it in advance. The fire blunderbuss is the fire blunderbuss used by the Western Yi people, not the fire blunderbuss installed by the official army of this dynasty, because there is no mark."
After a long while, Zhu Yijun came back to his senses and said coldly: "What does this mean? Don't you want me to let the people know Xiyi's ambitions?"
"But can they stop it?!"
Zhu Yijun suddenly yelled again and looked at Zhang Jingxiu with wide eyes.
Zhang Jingxiu just handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, please calm down. They may not like the imperial power to go to the countryside. The court directly mobilized the people, but the method used is still to scare the people if they can't scare the court."
"Then aren't they afraid that I will scare them? I will destroy my country by myself. If I don't replace my officials, I won't promote them, and I won't give them a chance to take power!"
Zhu Yijun asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I think they may not be afraid!"
"Because the world always needs bureaucrats. Even if the Ming Dynasty dies, the new dynasty will still need them. So even if Your Majesty does not treat them favorably and allows them to be masters, there will be a monarch who is willing to let them be masters."
Zhang Jingxiu replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "You are right, I cannot threaten them by doing this. At most, it will only make one or two generations of bureaucrats uncomfortable, but the price will be borne by the whole world."
After saying that, Zhu Yijun said again: "In that case, you Jin Yiwei will do your best to find out this matter. As long as it is found out, I will never tolerate it!"
Zhang Jingxiu raised his hand and said yes.
At this time, Sun Bin came over and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang came from Nandu to give a secret report."
When Zhu Yijun heard that Sun Bin had brought the secret note from Zhang Jing, he hurriedly took it. After opening it and reading it, he laughed and thought to himself: "What a Zhang Jing. I didn't let him infiltrate the ranks of the bureaucrats and scholar-bureaucrats in vain."
