North of the Pasig River and west of Binondo is the Maquina Manor in Binondo where more than 300 Chinese were massacred not long ago.
The owner of the manor, Captain Maquina, is putting on full armor in the hall. Today he will lead his soldiers to attack the Balian market area. This officer, who was born in a Spanish noble family, is young and domineering, and treats his subordinates very harshly. No, he
He was beating the black slave girl who helped him put on military uniform again. When he walked out of the door, an indigenous servant almost bumped into him while carrying water. He gave the Tagalog servant a whip without hesitation. "They're all trash! They're all trash."
Idiot, the physiological man is still capable and smart..." He muttered to himself and turned to look at the completely burned warehouse in the middle of the manor: "It's a pity that the physiological man can never become an obedient Christian."
Yes, all the Chinese laborers in the manor have been burned to ashes.
At about 10 a.m., Captain Maquina mounted his white horse, and a guard opened the gate of the manor to him.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
Groups of Chinese armed with wooden sticks, stones, and even empty-handed fists rushed out of the woods, swamps, and sugar cane fields surrounding the manor, approaching Maquina Manor from all directions.
The young Captain Maquina was still imagining the scene of killing a physiological man a minute ago, but now the living physiological men have surrounded him from all directions, but he froze on his horse. His guards desperately tried to bring his horse back to the yard, shouting loudly
Shouting: "The physiological man is here, get your weapons!"
On the balcony of the Spanish-style building in the manor, Maquina's wife screamed in terror. Captain Maquina, who had just reacted, fired a shot at the crowd at the gate in vain, and was immediately hit by seven or eight stones in the body.
Staggering on the white horse. Some black slaves took up arms, but most of the people in the manor fled. The angry Chinese crowd surged through the gate, crossed the wooden fence and garden wall, and countless feet stepped on the grass of the manor.
To Captain Maquina, a big Chinese man rushed to the front with a big stick high. He gave Maquina a blow from his pocket and immediately knocked him off his horse. The guard beside him who was busy loading ammunition into his matchlock gun was beaten by dozens of hands.
He was caught, punched and kicked, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog. When he was dying, he saw Captain Maquina being dragged to the ground by his feet by the vengeful Chinese.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire manor was occupied by countless Chinese insurrectionists. Angry crowds were running everywhere, everyone shouting "Kill!". There were a full 5,000 Chinese who came from Tondo.
participated in this act of revenge.
The fire flickered and thick smoke rose. All the buildings in the Maquina Manor were burned to the ground. The thick smoke produced by the burning could be clearly seen from the walls of Manila. Young and old, masters and servants, men and women in the manor, all
Everyone was killed by the furious Chinese. Captain Maquina's family, including his two young sons, were all killed. The captain was also beheaded by the Chinese rebels, and his head was inserted on a wooden pillar at the gate of the manor.
The Spaniards worriedly watched the thick smoke rising higher and higher at the top of the city. This heralded the rebellion of the Physiological Man - the beginning of the Chinese counterattack.
The church bells in Binondo rang, and a large number of Chinese gathered in front of the church. A tall young man stood on the steps in front of the church and said loudly and passionately: "Fellows, it's because the Rats don't give us a way to live.
We cannot wait to die! Manila City was built by our Tang people, and the wealth in the stream belongs to our Tang people. Why should we throw it away to the Qianla people in vain? We Tang people have more people and strength. Don’t be afraid of these Qianla officers and soldiers. They only have a few hundred people.
A person!"
More and more people gathered below and shouted in unison: "Kill the relevant people! Kill!"
In the church in Binondo, several indigenous believers hid behind the shrine in front of the cross and shivered. A group of Christian Christians rushed into the church, overturned the shrine without any scruples, and dragged them out. Several Tagalog indigenous Christians
The disciples struggled desperately and shouted in unskilled Chinese: "No! No! We have never killed biological people!"
The tall young man pointed at the Tagalogs who were dragged out angrily in front of the church and said loudly: "Look, these people followed the evil monk Flores and killed Chaozhou by the Pasig River.
Many brothers from the Lin family!" He kicked the trembling captives, turned to the angry crowd and said, "What shall we do with them?"
"Kill!" the crowd roared in unison. The Tagalog Christians were immediately thrown into the crowd and beaten to death by thousands of people.
This young man is the son of Huang Kang, the Chinese manager of Balian, Huang Da; his Christian name is Anthony.
While his father was still mediating for peace between the Spaniards and the Chinese, he was already standing in front of the church, leading thousands of Chinese Christians to participate in the riot.
"Now, the fellow villagers from Tondo have burned down the Maquina Manor. Let's go and join them now to do great things together!" Huang Da led more than a thousand Chinese Christians and retreated with those who burned down the Maquina Manor.
The rebels walked towards the Chinese camp in Tongduo Swamp.
Originally, the Spanish army was planning to wipe out the Chinese in Balian first, and then deal with the Chinese gathered in Tondo, Gabo and other places. Now, the thick smoke from the Maquina Manor has declared the Chinese people's resistance. Therefore, the Spanish in Manila City
The main force of the army was sent in the direction of Binondo in an attempt to retake the colonial area.
There were only 50 Spanish soldiers attacking Balian, 500 Japanese warriors from Japan became the main force, and hundreds of Pampanga archers followed.
Yin Feng did not expect that a full-scale conflict would suddenly break out so quickly. He took Li Lihua, a beautiful girl, and more than a dozen servants of the Zeng family to carry Zeng Jingshan. As soon as they arrived at the bank of the Pasig River, Balian had already heard bursts of
There were gunshots and screams, and fire and smoke were everywhere. The Chinese waiting to cross the river on the bank were running around as if their nest had been blown up. Some people jumped directly into the river and swam to the other side. Some people knelt on the bank and prayed to unknown gods.
Run back, return to Balian and be destroyed together with your property.
Several businessmen took out valuable silk and satin, twisted it into ropes and hung them on the trees. Then they hung their heads on the ropes, preparing to die with dignity before the Spanish arrived.
Yin Feng looked at the chaos around him, gritted his teeth, and gasped: "Miss Li, when we get off the boat, you get on the boat first."
There are more than ten servants of the Zeng family on the outside, holding "weapons" such as sticks. His two sailors and Magaro are surrounding Miss Li Lihua in the inner circle. Lihua is wearing an ordinary Chinese gown and a square headscarf.
She tried to dress up like an ordinary Chinese man. But her pretty face was too eye-catching and her bumpy figure couldn't be completely concealed. Yin Feng had to force it out, and Quan Zuo didn't see it.
He was thinking: It would be great if the sailors on the Xinxing who had been trained by Portuguese mercenaries were here!
Suddenly, as the boats were about to reach the other side of the river, the canoes turned around one after another. The people on the boats paddled frantically, trying desperately to escape back to the south bank. On the high ground on the opposite bank, a row of Spanish soldiers in red military uniforms appeared, and then a
Rows of musketeers and Pampanga archers formed formations on the shore. A minute later, the neatly arranged musketeers fired a volley under the command of the officer's sword.
"Bah bang bang bang bang!" The river bank was shrouded in gunpowder smoke for a while.
Most of the Chinese people in the small boats and canoes that had just crossed the middle line of the river were hit by bullets and fell into the water like dumplings.
On this side of the river, more escapees cried out in despair. It was obvious that the Spaniards had recaptured Binondo and had blocked the other side of the river.
Yin Feng's head was about to explode. All of this happened too fast. Now, not only could he not be able to save anyone, but he might have to die here. Don't panic, don't panic! After he chanted it several times,
He raised his musket and said loudly: "We can't cross the river now. There is no danger to defend on the river bank. If we return to the stream, we can rely on the house to defend and wait. Let's go back! I will take the lead. Everyone must follow closely. Don't
Fall behind!”
Smoke billowed everywhere around the city of Manila, and gunshots rang out. The Spaniards and missionaries, taking the lead, executed scattered Chinese living in various indigenous villages on the outskirts of Manila, taking the opportunity to unscrupulously plunder the property of Chinese businessmen.
At the mouth of the Pasig River, Fort Santiago on the edge of Manila Bay is a symbol of Spanish rule on Luzon Island, because any merchant ship coming to Manila Bay can see this fortress. At this time, Fort Santiago is also on high alert. Approximately
50 Spanish soldiers and more than 100 indigenous servants guarded the place.
A soldier in charge of the lookout crawled into the room of Captain Francisco, the commander of the fortress.
"Ship, ship! A ship! There is a ship in Manila Bay!"
Captain Francisco was having lunch. He was shocked when he heard this and jumped up: "What! What ship! Junk ship? How many ships are there?"
The soldier gasped and said: "A ship, this ship has been discovered for the time being. It is not a Chinese Junk ship, it is our European ship."
"Did you see the flag hanging clearly? God bless, don't the Dutch pagans come again? We are at war with the biological man... Let's go up and have a look."
Captain Francisco lay on the fort's gun emplacement and stared for a long time. At this time, the Spanish colonial army had not yet been equipped with equipment such as telescopes.
The lookout soldier had a better look. He shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be the Dutch flag, it seems to be a Portuguese ship."
Captain Francisco looked at it for a while and nodded: "Yes, God bless, it is indeed a Portuguese ship. The question is how could a Portuguese ship come to Manila at this time?"
Spain and Portugal share the title of King Philip and have a treaty agreement: in order to protect the interests of the two governments, direct re-export trade between the Asian colonies of Spain and Portugal is prohibited. Of course, neither Portuguese merchants nor Spanish merchants will comply so much.
Abiding by the law, various smuggling trades are still going on. But now that the trading season has passed, it is unprecedented for Portuguese ships to come to Manila at this time.
Captain Francisco quickly sent someone to report the news to the Royal City of Manila. At the same time, as a precaution, he ordered all the soldiers in the fort to prepare for battle.
Outside the cannon range of the fortress, the ship with the Portuguese flag anchored and sent a small boat towards the fortress. This move reassured the Spaniards. Captain Francisco wiped the cold sweat from his head and nodded.
Said: "It doesn't look like there is any malicious intent, God bless you!"
This Portuguese ship was Yin Feng's first ship, the Xinxing. The name he registered in Macau, Portugal, was called the "Hope." After receiving Yin Feng's letter, Lin Xiao and others almost coerced Barreto Jr.
Captain, after returning to Yuegang, he just finished unloading the cargo and rushed to Luzon.
