Chapter 72 Occupy the whole territory! (Please read it! Please vote for recommendation!)

On the morning of August 12, after three days of rest, the Ming and Zheng armies continued their military operations.

Zheng Kezang ordered 3,000 Spanish and 2,000 indigenous soldiers to be selected from the prison camp and the Spanish civilians imprisoned to form an auxiliary army to assist the Ming and Zheng troops in fighting.

In the next few days, the Xie Congjun will act as villains, specifically arresting people in Manila City for the Guards, killing people and taking the blame, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Ming and Zheng armies.

Under the power of the Guards, the Spanish soldiers experienced the helplessness of the natives for the first time. Didn't they also let the native soldiers act as tools and take the blame?

There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and it is finally my turn.

Carrying machetes and ropes, they broke in from time to time and knocked down the natives who had participated in the massacre, tied them up, and dragged them away.

When encountering the resisting natives, the Spanish soldiers beat them up without mercy until they fell down and lost the ability to resist, and then forcibly dragged them away.

If he escapes and resists arrest, it will be embarrassing and he will be hacked to death!

When it comes to suppressing the natives, the Spaniards have rich experience and know their way around things.

However, all arrest operations, including interrogations, were under the strict supervision of the Guards. Every street had Guards patrols armed with live ammunition. If the Spaniards wanted to rebel, they would have no choice but to go to the West.

"The whole city will continue to be under martial law for three days. Everyone must stay at home and not walk around casually on the streets!"

The streets and alleys were filled with warnings from the Guards soldiers, mixed with a few sounds of local language.

In southern Luzon, Zheng Kezang personally led 10,000 Guards troops to attack towns such as Quezon, Lucena, and Pangya.

Francisco thought: How is this possible? If Governor Juan was captured alive, wouldn't the city of Manila have fallen into the hands of the enemy?

Soon, a local Chinese guide who knew Spanish came from the Guards on horseback.

Batangas City is located in the east of Manila, on the edge of the Sibuyan Sea. It is a town surrounded by mountains and sea, with a circumference of nearly four miles.

Juan felt that this was too humiliating and thought about committing suicide in order to restore the dignity of the Spanish Empire.

That was Juan, the Spanish governor.

Every native was so frightened that they dared not sleep all night, for fear that the next door to be smashed would be their own door.

Soon, with the help of Spanish soldiers, the city of Manila was cleansed.

For a time, Manila was plunged into terror.

In northern Luzon, towns such as Lingayen and Shigegarao were attacked and captured one by one by Liu Guoxuan, who led about 4,000 officers and soldiers of Wuwei Town and 2,000 Guardsmen, using tough methods.

For example, Batangas City, southeast of Manila, is a typical example where the Guards used Juan to force the defenders to surrender.

The streets gradually became quiet, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of Xie Congjun breaking in through the door.

After careful thinking and heated discussions, they finally surrendered to Kaicheng.

As the Guards advanced rapidly, Spanish General Francisco, who was standing at the top of the city, was surprised to find a large four-wheeled carriage at the front of the Guards.

And the most terrifying thing is that each musket looks exactly the same, as if it was made by a craftsman!

After the Guards took firm control of the entire Batangas City, they immediately showed their ferocious features.

Otherwise, it would be too desolate and the defenders would not be able to recognize it.

The reason is that Zheng Kezang has a special siege weapon in his hand, or a weapon to persuade people to surrender.

He shouted loudly to the city: Now King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty has captured Manila City and wiped out thousands of defenders in the city. If you want to survive, your remaining soldiers and horses need to surrender as soon as possible to save their lives. If you don't surrender,

, bear the consequences at your own risk.

All the Spanish troops who surrendered were organized into an auxiliary army by Zheng Kezang, and they fought against the Spanish rich and natives in the city.

These Spanish prisoners had to charge, otherwise they would be sent directly to God with grenades by the Ming and Zheng troops supervising the battle.

Before attacking these towns, they pressed the Spanish musketeers into the front line, thus significantly reducing the casualties of the Ming and Zheng troops.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming and Zheng armies, under the command of Zheng Kezang, swept away the Spanish forces in Luzon Island like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

But he was still scared. He might as well live as long as he could. He just hoped that he would be used completely and not be burned by Zheng Kezang.

On the carriage was a large wooden cage, and the dejected man in the cage, dressed in a gorgeous governor's costume, looking at them eagerly, was not their governor Juan!

Zheng Kezang pointed at Batangas City and said: "The rest of the work is what you are good at. Go and persuade them to surrender. I will give you a stick of incense. They must surrender, otherwise you will suffer the same fate as them."

Then there was a burst of shouting, from men and women, men yelling and women howling, slaps, and the sound of being beaten with blunt objects. Finally, the indigenous man was led out, tied tightly and covered in blood.

Afterwards, the Guards counted the loot, arranged personnel to garrison, rested their troops and horses, and then headed back to the next town to be captured.

Moreover, the muskets they carry on their backs seem to be more refined than the muskets they use.

Compared with the method of hard bridges and hard horses, Liu Guoxuan's troops and Zheng Kezang's method of attacking the remaining cities, which was blindly fighting the enemy, was more efficient.

After hearing the guards' stern persuasion to surrender, and seeing with their own eyes the Spanish governor Juan outside the city, who set an example by example, everyone from the officer Francisco to the lower-level soldiers were frightened.

Although he was kept in a cage, it tasted delicious and allowed him to maintain the dignity of a nobleman.

This shows that the gun-making technology they mastered was more powerful than that of the Spanish Empire.

From time to time, they looked at the guards walking in unison outside the city.

Juan, who was held in a large wooden cage, successfully became the "Governor-in-Chief".

In this way, Juan, the former Spanish governor who was extremely embarrassed, was carried like a dead pig by the Guardsmen outside each city to be attacked, in order to induce the Spanish to surrender.

It looked like there were ten thousand people, but a few hundred of them couldn't stop them.

There was no other way, Governor Juan was pushed to the city gate again, and Xiaozhi persuaded his subordinates to surrender quickly with reason and emotion.

Francisco opened his mouth wide in horror, and the Spanish defenders next to him all had extremely frightened expressions on their faces.

The more than 500 Spanish soldiers in Batangas City couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the Guards coming with bayonets like a forest.

Less than three months had passed since the capture of Manila, and the entire Luzon Islands had been pacified by the Guards.

In the process of pacifying the entire territory of Luzon, the Spanish Confederate Army made great contributions. They did a lot of work that the Guards were unwilling to do, killed countless indigenous people, and wiped out the entire Luzon Islands.

At Zheng Kezang's request, all the indigenous tribes that had participated in those incidents were razed to the ground, and no one was spared.

This is: "Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are."
