New Ming Empire mixed in America

Everyone on the Liu family's merchant ship looked at the burning St. Jones Port and gasped.

"This...it's not like this...it's not like this..."

Uncle Wen murmured a few words, and as he watched the base of the Jingguan building in the port area taking shape over time, his hands began to tremble.

"Where is the second young master? Please inform the second young master that we must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise... otherwise..."

The old servant Uncle Wen didn't know what he should say at this time. Now he only had one thought, and that was to stay as far away from here as possible.

Those guys who call themselves the Xinming Empire are so cruel. The gunshots that ring out from time to time in the port and the continuous sound of rotating machine guns firing in the distance make the old servant Uncle Wen's body begin to tremble unconsciously.

"These people deserve it..." Just as the old servant Uncle Wen was looking at the port in a daze, the young man known as the Second Young Master came to him at some point.

"Why did the second young master say this? This...is harmful to Tianhe..."

Uncle Wen's voice is still trembling a little, and it can be seen how much impact what happened in the port area had on him.

"These people deserve it! Uncle Wen, do you know how many of our compatriots they massacred back then?"

There was no mercy in the young man's voice, which made the old servant Uncle Wen look at his second young master in astonishment.

"They massacred at least hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people..."

The young man's voice finally fluctuated, but it was filled with hatred.

The old servant Uncle Wen looked at his second young master and asked after a while: "How did the second young master know what happened back then?"

The young man took out a bound book from his arms and handed it to Uncle Wen.

He turned to the page in the book that had been specially folded. The statistical results of Spain's four evil crimes before and after were clearly marked on it.

After reading it, Uncle Wen turned to the front in disbelief and quickly browsed the detailed records.

Ten minutes later, Uncle Wen exhaled heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "These Spaniards really deserve to die!"

This book, which records major events in Luzon, was originally a reading material for soldiers of the National Defense Forces. Yesterday, Li Mingqi specially gave a copy to the young man.

It not only describes the various crimes committed by the Spaniards, but also some of the records of foreigners themselves that were taken into photos and also included in the book.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand foreign language, there is a sentence-by-sentence translation on the next page.

Now Uncle Wen no longer muttered about leaving, but returned to the cabin with the book and started reading with trembling lips.

Uncle Wen has no doubts about whether the events written in this book are true.

Not to mention the various notes taken from xx information mentioned in it, he runs the route to Luzon all year round and knows more or less the legends in this area.

Now when he combined it with the book and found that everything could be answered correctly, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Besides, Li Mingqi did not exaggerate in the slightest. On the contrary, the recorded number of victims was definitely less than the actual number of victims.

Because at that time, only the massacres that occurred near Manila had headcount records, and the rest of the places were only summarized in a few sentences by Liao Liao.

The Pacific Fleet stayed in St. Jones for seven days. Except for those Chinese merchants whose activities were restricted by the Kingdom of Luzon, there were no longer Spanish or local free people here.

Most of them became part of the Jingguan. The rest of the guys who helped build the Jingguan had their right thumbs cut off and were put back on the order of Li Mingqi.

Jingguan has already been repaired. If these people were killed, there would be no time to bury them.

If he didn't kill, Li Mingqi was still holding his breath, so he made this decision.

The royal family that ruled Luzon at this time were descendants of the Zheng family, that is, the lineage of Zheng Jing who had an affair with his concubine and gave birth to a son.

In addition to some of the local people who are the Luzon people who are a fusion of Chinese immigrants and local indigenous people, some are still the natives of the past.

But in Li Mingqi's eyes, whether they are Luzon people or indigenous people, as long as they stand against the National Defense Forces, they are enemies.

Not to mention that in 1919, these so-called Luzon people completely severed all ties with China and adopted the Japanese Taisho era name, becoming the only country other than Japan to accept the Japanese imperial name.

It’s so glorious!

Moreover, these bastards who really forgot their ancestors followed the Japanese country into China in 1937.

(As a side note, the first time I looked up the information about Philippine monkeys, I was shocked and dumbfounded.)

Therefore, it can be said that Li Mingqi has no good impression of all the residents in Luzon.

By the way, the Kingdom of Luzon (the predecessor of the Philippines) at this time was a semi-colony, with not only a governor established by Spain.

There are also concession areas with extraterritoriality established after Britain and France signed the Treaty of Golden Gate with Luzon during the Crimean War.

And because the Zheng royal family jointly led the British to defeat the Spanish navy here in 1704, and the Spanish were massacred once at that time.

Li Mingqi insisted on going to Manila because there are only more Spaniards there now.

The rest of the places are either British, French or American immigrants, and there are also immigrants from other European countries.

Said to be immigrants, in fact at this time they were usually missionaries, planters or European maritime merchants.

But now Li Mingqi has no time to deal with those guys, provided they don't come to trouble Li Mingqi.

As for the Spanish Governor of Manila and the small fleet that was designed to protect Spain's interests in Luzon, Li Mingqi didn't take it seriously at all.

What he cares about is the army in the hands of the Zheng royal family of the Luzon Kingdom. This Western-style army is stationed in Kinmen, Zhenhai and other places all year round, with about 20,000 people.

However, it is now during the Luzon Uprising, so the possibility of this army meeting Li Mingqi is very low.

As for the navy of the Kingdom of Luzon...do the dozen gunboats purchased from Britain and France count?

The Pacific Fleet estimates that it will take less than a few hours to eliminate them.

However, Li Mingqi came here this time to see if he could get a piece of land in Luzon as a concession area and at the same time find a stable supply point for the Pacific Fleet.

If the Kingdom of Luzon understands the situation, Li Mingqi can still offer some pounds.

If they don't understand... then it's embarrassing. We can only use bayonets and bullets to educate them and let them know what the iron fist from their ancestors is.

After bypassing the huge Mindoro Island opposite the Port of St. Jones, the Pacific Fleet advanced slowly amidst the panic of residents of many small towns along the coast.

With supplies from the port of St. Jones, the Pacific Fleet is not short of supplies at this time.

That's why Li Mingqi ordered the fleet to fly along the coast with the Mingzi flag and the Sanchen flag as a demonstration at sea.

And all merchant ships encountered along the way will be compulsorily purchased, no matter which country they are from.

Besides, it’s not like the Xinming Empire doesn’t give money, you can just choose pounds or dollars.

As for the patrol gunboats deployed here by Daiying and Nasan, they will also be required to escort the Pacific Fleet of the New Ming Empire.

It was not unnecessary, but Li Mingqi wanted to send a message to the envoys of the two countries in the concession area through the naval soldiers on these gunboats.

The Xinming Empire has no time to pay attention to their information.

If they are smart enough, they will definitely learn to shut up when Li Mingqi forces the Kingdom of Luzon to cede territory in the near future.

Of course, even if they objected to Li Mingqi, they would not listen and would immediately take revenge.

If we don't hurt these people, the immigration route will definitely be unstable.

As for why we insist on allowing immigration ships to follow this route, firstly, it is because there are many ports here for convenient supply.

The second reason is that it is relatively close to Ryukyu. To put it clearly, Li Mingqi is interested in the land in Ryukyu, which is known as the "unsinkable aircraft carrier".

Once there, the Xinming Empire's Pacific Fleet had a stronghold here in the Far East.

Moreover, it is relatively close to the Puppet Qing Dynasty, so immigration will be convenient.
