When Felicia saw that the native servant was not moved by her pleas and came forward with a knife to attack, she was so frightened that she almost urinated.
At this time, Wang Jingyi suddenly opened her arms to block the aborigine. The aborigine looked at her doubtfully, stretched out her hand and gently pushed her shoulder, motioning for her to get out of the way.
Wang Jingyi couldn't stop her in Spanish and said in Quanzhou dialect: "You can't kill her!" The servant sneered and suddenly opened his mouth wide. Wang Jingyi screamed in fright: only half of the man's tongue was left in his mouth, and he looked at the leakage
Incomparable people.
Felicia still knelt down and begged. Although Wang Jingyi was frightened, she still opened her arms to stop the servant.
At this time, there were gunshots and fighting outside the alley, and the servant looked anxious. Seeing this, Wang Jingyi turned around suddenly and put the knife in Felicia's hand.
Seeing Felicia holding the knife, Wang Jingyi pointed at Cologne, who was lying on the ground and lingering, and motioned for her to go forward and kill Cologne. When the servant saw this, his eyes lit up, he put away his long dagger and stood aside.
Felicia panicked, and Wang Jingyi said in Spanish: "Kill him, not you." The servant smiled and nodded in agreement.
Felicia looked at the two of them and understood her situation - she had no other choice. So she walked forward with tears on her face and knelt down next to Cologne. At this time, Cologne had no strength to struggle because of his lungs.
His head was punctured, his body and mouth were covered in blood, and he looked horrifying.
Seeing that Felicia was trembling, the servant did not dare to take action. He took a step forward and raised his dagger to stab her. Felicia closed her eyes and shouted, then stabbed the knife into Cologne's neck until it reached the hilt.
.
She stabbed with all her strength, then her whole body went limp, her hands trembled, and she was unable to pull out the knife. Cologne's throat was fatally wounded, his eyes widened, and he stopped struggling. When the native servant saw it, a relaxed smile appeared on his face,
He snorted and turned to walk away.
Wang Jingyi stretched out her hand to hold him and said, "Don't leave." Seeing the servant's questioning look, Wang Jingyi gestured and said, "Set the fire first, and then take it with you. Let's go out."
The eyes of the native who was forced to become a mute servant brightened again, and he nodded in agreement. Wang Jingyi took him upstairs quickly and ran to Cologne's study to search for some valuables - there was nothing left, the entire study had been occupied by those who had escaped earlier.
The housekeeper and servants rummaged through the mess, leaving nothing but wooden tables, chairs, books and documents.
The servant was not upset when he saw this. He took out a small candle from the opened drawer, lit it, and ignited the documents in the study. Then he took a handful of burning paper and led Wang Jingyi downstairs.
Set fire to each room.
When they placed it next to Cologne's body, they saw that the whale oil lamp that had been thrown to the ground had ignited the nearest door. Felicia was unaware of the flames and just buried her head in her knees and kept mumbling about God.
Wang Jingyi picked up Felicia and led her away from the flames. Seeing that the door was already burning, the servant kicked it to pieces, took some burning wood and threw it in the corridor, and then tried to throw it at Cologne.
Throw two pieces.
Seeing this, Wang Jingyi hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait a minute." After saying that, she leaned down, rummaged through Cologne's pockets, and found a velvet money bag. Seeing that Cologne was wearing a gold wedding ring on his hand, she also pushed it hard.
Then he pulled it off.
Then she showed a proud smile and said to the servant: "Now, burn it."
Late at night on the last day of June in the fifteenth year of Wanli, the Ming army and the military intelligence spies in the city cooperated inside and outside, and used explosives to blow open the northern city gate of Manila. Elite troops, explorers and young Han people on the north bank of the Paxi River swarmed in and attacked
The city was captured.
As Zhong Yanwen expected, the indigenous troops stationed in the city caught the Spanish troops off guard when they saw the Ming army. They had already wanted to rebel, and they immediately rioted throughout the city and massacred the Spanish colonists who usually oppressed their own people - thus another incident in history.
This war was called the Manila Riots.
In later Spanish historical records, June 30th in the 15th year of Wanli was known as the Manila Catastrophe. From the governor of Santiago on down, the Spaniards were almost massacred regardless of good or bad. One of the documents recorded this:
"The Seres used a false illusion of peace to confuse Santiago. He devoted himself to discussing the words of the 'apology document' with the imperial envoy, hoping to lift the fleet's blockade of Manila without causing huge confusion to Felipe II."
"But the Saris people were making intensive preparations. They secretly issued a recruitment order, summoned all explorers who could use muskets, and carried out extensive mobilization on the north bank of the Passi River."
"Survivors of the Manila catastrophe testified that Envoy Seris promised that as long as Manila was conquered, all the wealth in the city would be given to those who conquered the city without taking any money. As a result, people who were extremely jealous of the Spanish wealth were dominated by greed.
"They completely forgot about the civilization that the Spanish brought to the local area and the trade that made them rich."
"There is also evidence that some traders from Malacca happened to go to Manila to supply supplies at that time, and these traders also participated in the plundering in a disgraceful way. All the Spanish handicrafts, artworks and gold and silver in the Royal City of Manila were taken to the extreme by them.
Purchased at a low price and brought back to Seris for sale, these bloody wealth once made the entire southern Seris fall into ecstasy."
"We have to say that the entire Manila catastrophe was the most disgraceful page in the process of the Siris people obtaining their huge territory. No matter how the current Siris people beautify their history, this war was triggered by inexplicable reasons.
, are full of conspiracy and deception, massacre and atrocities."
"There is evidence that the Seris had no intention of attacking Manila at first, because they were obviously not prepared to attack the city - in every sense of the word. But why did the St. John take the initiative to attack them, as the Seres said?
Launching an attack has become the most difficult puzzle to solve."
". But the real massacre came from the indigenous army. Although these rabble-rousers had no fighting capacity, they were extremely brutal against the civilians in the royal city. They took advantage of the Seris people to attack the Governor's Palace, and divided up to rob, massacre and rape in various neighborhoods.
.”
"Blanca Hernando Colon, who later became famous throughout Europe, and her tutor survived this catastrophe thanks to the protection of a kind-hearted indigenous servant."
"As of now, her memoirs are still the most powerful and direct evidence about the Manila catastrophe. The author here excerpts: 'The native soldiers killed anyone they saw, regardless of age - as long as he was white. In my escape
On the way to the church, white women screamed in almost every room. I saw with my own eyes that the Serris soldiers had many conflicts with the indigenous troops in order to stop the atrocities.'"
"'The atrocity didn't end until three days later. At that time, Felicia was even lucky enough to see her daughter survive, but then the two were separated in the chaos of war. It was not until thirty years later that her daughter, who was adopted by the Seris people, was
Found her mother, and Felicia no longer recognized her beloved Emily.'"
