The Negro tribe was exterminated. Although they had long known that they would fail, Governor Cocuera did not expect that they would fail so quickly.
It's terrible, it's really terrible. Ding Yunyi did what the Spaniards couldn't do! He actually caused the once arrogant Negro people to be exterminated!
Now, they must have set their sights on Manila and every Spaniard here.
Governor Cocuera has no choice...
On March 12, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Huben Guards forward appeared in Manila.
On March 13, Wu Lie Hou Ding Yunyi did not send anyone to persuade them to surrender, but directly issued an attack order.
The Battle of Manila breaks out!
This is a moment that Manila and the Spaniards who live in it will never forget.
The cannons roared desperately there, and groups of Tiger Guard soldiers were enjoying this rare moment.
Governor Cocuera, who was severely short of troops, was forced to concentrate all his troops in the castles and forts on the south bank of the Pasig River for the final stubborn resistance.
He didn't know how long he could hold on here, and he didn't know when the enemy would attack him.
The Huben Guard mobilized enough artillery to bombard the south bank of the Pasig River. At this time, the Huben Guard navy finally appeared in Manila Bay in large numbers.
There was no hope, there was no hope anymore, Governor Cocuera could barely foresee his future.
The Tiger Guards were not in a hurry to attack, they just wanted to use their powerful artillery fire to completely smash the place.
Some of these terrible artillery pieces were brought by the Tiger Guards themselves, some were contributed by the Amur rebels, and some were captured directly from the Spanish.
And now all the cannons have become a reminder for the Spanish.
The shells completely destroyed all the Spanish buildings on the south bank of the Pasig River. The former owners of Luzon: gentlemen and ladies, were hiding in fear and despair, muttering and begging God for protection.
They hope that the cannonballs will not fall on their heads, and that this cursed war can end soon. They think that this is not a disaster that they should bear in the first place. But they forget that when the Spaniards slaughtered the Chinese, they watched with schadenfreude.
, and even take pleasure in it. Everything they face now is nothing more than God's revenge on them.
It's just that the revenge came too quickly and too violently...
They elected representatives and went to Governor Cocuera, asking Governor Cocuera to immediately end all this horror. If they could get the Ming Dynasty to withdraw their troops, they were willing to raise a batch of gold to send troops for the Ming Dynasty.
compensation.
Perhaps this is the only way now. Lord Cocuyela, who was already in chaos, agreed to this request and sent Monbiai as his plenipotentiary envoy. When Ding Yunyi heard this negotiation request, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Would you give gold to stop the war? Why would I do that?"
Montbiere was scared and worried. He tried hard to maintain his tone: "Mr. General, I think you don't want your men to suffer too much damage, right? Our castle and fort are very strong. If your soldiers attack by force,
, there will definitely be huge casualties. And using gold in exchange for peace, I think this is what both sides are willing to see."
"Will not!"
Ding Yunyi smiled slightly and said: "My soldiers will not suffer huge casualties. I think you can also see that we have the absolute advantage of the sound of artillery and my navy has also begun to land in Manila Bay. Sooner or later, we will be here.
Razed to the ground!"
Monbiai swallowed a sip of saliva. He never expected that the other party's attitude would be so determined.
"Go back and tell your governor." Ding Yunyi said calmly: "The only way to ensure your safety is to surrender unconditionally!"
Unconditional surrender!
Governor Cocuera was furious when he heard the news. His noble Spaniard's heart was greatly insulted.
No, I will never surrender, I will try my best to fight until the last moment!
"Mr. Governor, it is very difficult to continue fighting." Monbiai tried his best to persuade his governor: "I have seen with my own eyes the power of the Ming Dynasty army and the powerful artillery fire they have. If I continue to resist, I can be sure that
What’s more, we can’t hold on here for only three days, and when that time comes, perhaps the most terrifying thing will happen.”
Governor Cocuera fell silent.
He knew that his assistant had not lied to him, and he also knew that Manila could not hold on...
Governor Cocuera thought for a long time and then said painfully: "Go to Ding Yunyi again. I can surrender with all the soldiers, but he must ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Spaniards."
Monbière appeared in front of Ding Yunyi again and proposed the conditions for the Spanish surrender. I originally thought that Ding Yunyi would continue to deliberately create difficulties, but what I didn't expect was that Ding Yunyi agreed readily.
When Monbiai left happily, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Ding Yunyi's mouth...
On March 14, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, when the Spaniards in Luzon were completely desperate, the Spanish Governor in Luzon, Cocuera, chose to surrender.
The offensive and defensive battle in Manila ended, and Manila fell into the hands of Ding Yunyi, which also means that the owner of Luzon has now changed from the Spaniards to Ding Yunyi!
Luzon had friendly exchanges with China around the third century AD. Around the 14th century, some separatist kingdoms appeared in Luzon composed of indigenous tribes and Malay immigrants. The most famous of them was Sulu, a maritime power that emerged in the 1370s.
kingdom.
Luzon was known as Luzon, Mayi, Sulu, Huluo and other places a long time ago. In 1521, it happened to be a Catholic religious festival when the Portuguese navigator Magellan set foot on this archipelago on the orders of the Spanish colonialists.
, so the archipelago was given a religious name - the San La Haru Islands. Later, Magellan was killed by the local people because of his intervention in the island's civil war, so the name was forgotten. In 1542, the famous Spanish voyage
Lopez was the second person to come to this archipelago after Magellan. In order to show off the "meritorious achievements" of the Spanish Empire in Asia, he named the archipelago Luzon Islands after the Spanish Crown Prince Philip.
In 1521, Magellan led a Spanish expedition to the Luzon Islands. After that, Spain gradually invaded Luzon and ruled it for more than a hundred years.
The significance of Luzon is actually not just an island but the interests of the entire Spice Islands.
Regarding Magellan's circumnavigation of the world and reaching the Spice Islands, Portugal protested to Spain, saying that the Spice Islands visited by Magellan's expedition were on the Portuguese side of the Tor de Silas line, and that by entering the island, the Spaniards were violating Portugal.
So the geographers, navigators and expedition members of Spain and Portugal argued around the globe and nautical charts. They all described the Spice Islands as a place on their own side of the dividing line, and they refused to give in to each other.
To sort out this mess, we have to go back to the papal edict. After the first papal edict, Spain, which had strong economic and military power, challenged Portugal's hegemony.
After Columbus discovered the New World, the Portuguese believed that the Spaniards had destroyed Portugal’s right to control all the land east of Cape Bojador approved by the Pope in the past, not to mention that the Portuguese had reached the coast of India before them. So Portugal prepared to use military force
expedition to seize the land discovered by Columbus. When Spain asked the Pope to resolve this dispute, the Pope, in order to spread the Catholic faith and expand the influence of the church, allowed Spain to occupy all the lands discovered by Columbus. Spain had the right to control 100 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands.
All the land west of Georgia along the Atlantic line. In order to mediate the dispute between Portugal and Spain for new lands,14
In q4, Pope Alexander VI implemented arbitration and the two countries signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, agreeing to demarcate a boundary 370 leagues west of Cape Verde, known in history as the "Pope Meridian."
The newly "discovered" land east of the line belonged to Portugal, and the west line belonged to Spain. After Magellan sailed westward to Luzon and the Moluccas, he sharply proposed that the knife that divides the earth should cut to this side of the earth.
on-line?
In Luzon, the Spanish and Portuguese families fought for the ownership of the Spice Islands with swords; in Europe, the two families used pen and paper to resolve the issue. The two countries signed the Treaty of Zaragoza in April 1529. This treaty was the Portuguese
Taking advantage of the fact that Spain was in urgent need of money for its war against France, at the cost of 350,000 teka, the dividing line was drawn... 297 and a half leagues east of the Spice Islands.
In this way, not only did the Spice Islands become Portuguese territory, but even the Luzon Islands were added to Portugal. Portugal bought the entire Spice Islands that it did not need to buy, while Spain sold the entire Spice Islands that it did not want to sell at all.
The Luzon Islands was an issue that no one could explain at the time. Later, Portugal tried its best to defend the Spice Islands and left the Luzon Islands, which did not produce spices, to be occupied by Spain. After Spain occupied Luzon, it went to war and launched an expedition to the Spice Islands.
Only 50 years after Columbus first "discovered" the American continent, Spanish colonists completely occupied a large area of land and established 200 immigration areas there, establishing their colonial rule. From the 1g century onwards,
Spain also continued to expand its territory in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Portuguese American colonial areas. From 1502 to 1504, Spain occupied the Kingdom of Naples in Italy. In 1512, it annexed the Kingdom of Navarre in the north. In 1516
, the King of Spain inherited Spain and its territories, the Kingdom of Naples, Sicily, Sidonia and the American colonies, as well as Austria and the so-called "Burmundian inheritance" including the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Francis-Conté. At the same time
, and also occupied large areas of land in the Americas, Tunisia, Oran and other places in North Africa.
After 1559, Spain captured Milan, Italy, most of Luzon, Manila and other areas, as well as Portugal's Lisbon and all Portuguese colonies. By the 1680s, Spain's territory included most of Europe, America, and Africa.
Part of it, as well as Luzon and other places in Asia, established the earliest and unprecedentedly large colonial empire in world history, a world monarchy where "the sun never sets". However, the dividing line of the Papal Decree, the demarcation treaty between Spain and Portugal
, is only effective when Spain and Portugal have maritime hegemony.
And when a more powerful and powerful maritime overlord appeared, all the edicts became a piece of paper.
And this person’s name is Ding Yunyi!
There is no pope in his eyes, let alone any edicts. Everything he does is carried out in accordance with the interests of his group.
Driving away the Spaniards was only the first step in his grand strategy. From there, a series of actions were about to begin.
Governor Cocuera met Ding Yunyi, but this meeting was a meeting that made him extremely ashamed. The young general standing opposite him was the winner, but the Spaniards were the losers.
It was he who personally handed over Luzon to his enemies.
Ding Yunyi looked at the defeated general in front of him coldly: "Have you ever thought about this day?"
Governor Cocuera was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "I never thought that Luzon would be lost from my hands so quickly. General Ding, I hope you can fulfill your promise and ensure that the Spanish people in Luzon
to ensure the safety of our lives and property, and dispatch ships to take us back to the country as soon as possible.”
Ding Yunyi laughed again. He suddenly felt that the Spanish governor was extremely naive. Did he really think that he would be indifferent to the Spanish massacre of the people of the Ming Dynasty? Did he really think that he would let them go so easily?
Accepting Cocuera's surrender was just to get Manila more easily. Ding Yunyi didn't want his Tiger Guards to waste too much time here.
There are more important things waiting for you to do.
Ding Yunyi told Cocuera calmly: "Mr. Governor, go back and have a good rest. I will send someone to find you in a few days. I still have something very important for you to do."
Cocuera was a little confused and didn't know what the so-called important things meant. But he didn't have the guts to ask, nor was he qualified to ask.
After the governor left, Ding Yunyi called Hai Nixiong over: "Do you remember what I promised you?"
Hai Nixiong's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered very clearly what the alliance leader had promised him. At this time, he heard Ding Yunyi say to him calmly: "Do whatever you want."
