In the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards forced the Ming people to pay high ID and rent taxes, but they resisted and the Spaniards massacred the Ming people again.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty government was very busy, and Emperor Chongzhen was issuing a ban on smoking, stating that "those addicted to smoking will die."

Locust plagues, droughts, famines and starvation occurred in Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places!

Li Zicheng led fifty cavalry into Henan. The hungry people revolted and gathered half a million people. Zhang Xianzhong rebelled against the Ming Dynasty again in Gucheng, Hubei Province. He established slaves and repeatedly invaded the border areas. The Ming Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles and could not protect itself, and it had no time to take care of overseas affairs...

In the eighth year of Yongli reign in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Italian priest Li Keluo flew from Manila to Xiamen.

Zheng Chenggong heard about the atrocities committed by the Spanish in Luzon and was very dissatisfied with the Spanish in Luzon. He planned to send envoys to surrender. If they refused, he would send troops to capture them.

At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of Han people in Luzon, which was no less numerous than in Taiwan.

In the sixteenth year of Yongli, the Spanish colonists in Luzon massacred the Ming people again.

Li Keluo brought Zheng Chenggong with him to give a letter of credence to the Governor of Luzon, intimidating the Luzon authorities and intending to send troops to assist the Chinese in Luzon.

After Li Keluo submitted his credentials, he massacred thousands of Ming people again. Later, he was worried that Zheng Chenggong would send troops to attack, so he ordered his envoys to come to Taiwan with Li Keluo to beg for peace.

After Zheng Chenggong learned that the Ming people had been massacred again, he was furious and immediately decided to send troops to conquer Luzon. However, when he found out about his son Zheng Jing, he was so angry that he died of illness.

After that, the struggle for the throne within the Zheng dynasty was no longer able to conquer the Philippines.

As a result, no one can inherit Zheng Chenggong's legacy of safeguarding the rights and interests of overseas Ming people.

The Ming people in Luzon once again suffered a large-scale massacre.

The man behind several of the massacres of Akito was Salvador.

Can Salvador not be aware of the evil he has done himself? Of course he would not just surrender when encountering a Ming warship?

Also, all the wealth he had made over the years was on the battleship. Once the Ming army boarded the ship for inspection, all his years of searching would be wiped out.

…

Although he was shot twice, he still ordered the sailors to adjust the sails and try their best to escape.

There was obviously a problem with this, and the Ming warships couldn't let him go. Gan Hui sent an order:

"Wendi, there is a problem with the battleship ahead. We must stop immediately and board the ship for inspection. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

"Here!"

After receiving the order, the two warships Wendi and Chongzhen immediately attacked at full speed.

Sail battleships were not as fast as battleships driven by steam engines, and they sailed against the wind, so they were soon blocked by Ming warships.

If it were not for the experienced sailors and the fast sailing Spanish sailing warship, it is likely that it would have collided with the Ming warship.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Salvador had no choice but to stop the battleship. He did not dare to order the cannon to be fired on the open ship.

El Salvador knew very well that once it fired at the Ming warships, the Ming warships would not hesitate to sink their warships.

"Quick, raise the white flag and surrender."

At the critical moment, El Salvador showed his trump card and surrendered immediately.

Spain has done all kinds of bad things in Southeast Asia over the years. In order to prevent others from remembering it, after setting off, El Salvador had people clear all traces of Spain on the warship.

Now being forced to stop by the Ming warships, Salvador is still taking a chance. He thinks that as long as he doesn't sign up, there shouldn't be much problem in saving his life.

"Bang..."

"Everyone on the opposite ship should immediately put down their weapons and gather on the deck, otherwise our warship will be sunk immediately."

As soon as the white flag was raised, two Ming warships approached the sailing warship. The sailing warship's hull was much smaller, and it suddenly shook violently.

In order to warn them, the Ming army threw a grenade directly on their battleship.

"Rumble..."

A violent explosion blew several Spaniards into the air on the spot. All that fell were broken limbs. Salvador rolled his eyes and fainted from fright...

There were more than fifty Spanish soldiers escorting El Salvador, and they wanted to surrender.

Suddenly they saw their companions being blown up into the sky. They all huddled in the cabin and did not dare to move at all.

Seeing a grenade killing the man holding the white flag, the Ming Army's general flag couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Sorry, it was a mistake..."

The captain of the Wendi did not blame them, but reminded his subordinates:

"Be careful. If anyone resists, kill them immediately. Give the order again and everyone should get out of the cabin and surrender!"

The interpreter with the army agreed, immediately took out the loudspeaker, and once again conveyed the captain's order to the Spaniards on the sailing battleship.

Dozens of Spanish soldiers did not dare to disobey the Ming army's orders, so they obediently walked onto the deck of the battleship.

A clever Spanish soldier, worried that the Ming army would drop bombs again, hurriedly raised his hands high and shouted:

"Grandpa Ming Jun, don't shoot, let alone throw bombs, we surrender..."

The captain of the Wendi looked coldly at these foreign devils and waved to a commander:

"Order them to squat down with their heads in their hands, and lead a hundred people to board the ship for inspection."

"Here!"

After receiving the commander-in-chief's order, he immediately led the Ming army to board the Spanish warship. Almost at the same time, a hundred people from the Chongzhen were also sent to board the ship for inspection.

"Everyone, squat on the deck with your head in your hands. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

When the Spanish soldiers heard this, they hurriedly put their heads in their hands and squatted on the deck.

After giving the general order to leave dozens of people to guard the prisoners, they led them into the cabin of the sailing battleship...

This battleship has two decks and about thirty artillery pieces. Its main task is to escort the former governor back to the country. It has enough sailors but not all the artillery.

Most of the battleships were sailors and there were about 20 artillerymen. This was one of the reasons why El Salvador did not dare to fire cannons.

In the cabin on the lower floor, there were many daily necessities and wooden boxes piled up. The wooden boxes were all nailed shut. The general of the Ming army walked up to the wooden box and knocked on it.

"Bang bang"

Judging from the sound the wooden box made, it was very full. He bent down to move it. The wooden box was very heavy, but he didn't move it.

The general waved his hand to the soldiers:

"Come here, open the wooden box."

"Here!"

Two soldiers drew out their bayonets and quickly pried open a wooden box. The contents in the wooden box were immediately exposed to everyone.

When everyone saw the contents of the wooden box, they couldn't help but exclaimed. The whole box was filled with gold.

"Boss, look, it's all gold!"

The soldier who opened the wooden box immediately shouted, but there was no need to shout. When the wooden box was pried open, the general saw that the box was full of gold.

"Pry again and open all the wooden boxes."

The general manager was so excited that he immediately pointed at other wooden boxes and asked the soldiers to pry them open.

Dozens of Ming troops began to take action:

"Kakaka..."

"Wow wow wow..."

All the wooden boxes were pried open by Ming army soldiers, and they were all filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

This was so unexpected that the Ming army officers and soldiers present widened their eyes in surprise, and it took them a long time to react.

With so much gold, silver and jewelry, the commander immediately sent someone to report to the captain...

"Captain, this battleship is full of foreign devils, and hundreds of boxes of gold and silver jewelry were found, worth at least two million dragon coins. What should I do with them?"

After receiving the report, the captain was a little confused and said after a while:

"Here you go, there are so many gold, silver and jewels. Wait a minute, I'll ask General Gan Hui."

…

"Report to the general, the unknown warship is full of foreign devils, the specific nationality is unknown, the soldiers found a huge amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the cabin, at least one million, what should I do?"

"What?"

Gan Hui was also a little confused when he heard this. Zhang Shuting had followed Emperor Shenwu for many years to confiscate homes. He had long been used to it, and he suddenly smiled:

"Hahaha, none of the foreign devils are good birds. Ask for your identity. If it is a Dutch or Spanish warship, you will immediately seize it."

At Zhang Shuting's reminder, Gan Hui touched his nose and said with a smile:

"Master Marquis, the Ming Dynasty has not yet started a war with Spain. What if it is a Spanish warship? We are the Ming Dynasty fleet, not pirates."

Zhang Shuting smiled coldly:

"Do you think that after the Ming Dynasty captured Malacca and Ceylon, it would let Spain colonize our vassal country go?"

"Besides, who knew they were Spanish? There are no Spanish traces on the warships. They are obviously pirates..."

When Gan Hui heard this, he immediately laughed. He knew what Changping Hou meant.
