With Du Mingen's order issued, the Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, began to attack the city.
The castle in Manila is not high, but it is very hard. It is all made of stone. Luzon also spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build this castle.
Although the city wall is not high, everyone came in a hurry and did not have any siege equipment, so the better option was to use muskets to suppress the Luzon soldiers on the city wall, and then send people to rush under the city gate and use explosive bags to directly attack them. The city gate was blown open.
? Simple and easy.
¡°Bang~¡±
Under the city wall, the musketeers aimed at the people on the city wall. Along with the rising waves of thick smoke, lead bullets left clouds of blood on the city wall.
The flintlock muskets manufactured by the Miyun Iron Works have a long range and great power. Hundreds of muskets were aimed at the city wall at the same time and fired freely. As long as anyone showed his head, he would be immediately and ruthlessly attacked.
With just a few waves of shooting, the Luzon soldiers on the city wall were suppressed, so that they did not even dare to raise their heads. All those who raised their heads fell into a pool of blood.
As for Lagan, he was already scared to death.
This Ming Dynasty man is too fierce, and he will start fighting if he disagrees.
With such a long distance, their bows and arrows could not cause any harm to the Ming army, but the Ming army's muskets were able to attack them easily, and they were so pressed that they could not even lift their heads.
"Counterattack, counterattack~"
"The Ming army came from afar with little supplies and no siege equipment. Their attack will definitely not last long. Beat me hard and let these Ming people know how powerful we are."
Lagan had a ferocious look on his face and shouted loudly.
Hearing La Gan¡¯s order, the archers under his command tried to stand up and fight back, but as soon as they stood up, they were immediately struck mercilessly.
The shooting power and accuracy of the musket are beyond imagination.
"Boom~"
Then, it didn¡¯t take long to wait.
Suddenly, with a deafening loud noise, the extremely solid city wall trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred. At the city gate, a burst of white smoke and dust enveloped the city gate, and the shattered city gate was soon revealed.
"With this explosive pack, any city wall can be easily broken. It is really powerful."
Du Mingen looked at the blasted city gate and couldn't help but sigh, the explosive pack is really useful.
The gunpowder developed by the Miyun Iron Works is very powerful. Tens of kilograms of explosives can be made into explosive packets, which can easily blow up a large ship to pieces. As for blowing up the gate of the castle in front of you, it is simply trivial.
"Kill~"
Du Mingen waved his hand, and the Ming army behind him rushed into the castle like a tide.
The castle in Manila is not too small, it can be regarded as a small city. The dignitaries of the entire Luzon Kingdom live here.
Of course, in this era, although the Luzon Kingdom occupies many islands, the Luzon Island is not small, but most of the areas are undeveloped areas. The population of the Luzon Kingdom is not large. In total, In fact, it is almost the same as a small county town.
??History, more than 20 years later, the Europeans came here and easily captured Manila, set it up as a colonial stronghold, and then occupied the entire Luzon region.
European fleets are generally small in size and have limited armed forces, but they can still be easily captured with guns and cannons. This shows how weak the Luzon Kingdom is.
At this time, as the Ming army rushed in like a tide, the entire castle was completely in chaos.
The Ming army carried out Du Mingen's order and killed everyone on sight. Wherever it passed, they killed without mercy, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves and the wind sweeping away the remaining clouds.
The Malays and black dwarves in the castle were no match for the Ming army. They were vulnerable to a single blow. In the blink of an eye, there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
On the city wall, Lagan wanted to escape, but the people under his command were all running away like frightened birds, and no one had time to worry about him.
Soon he was caught by the Ming army.
The castle is not big, and thousands of Ming troops quickly and completely occupied it. All the Malays and black dwarves were like turtles in a jar, hiding in the corners of the castle, trembling constantly.
The Ming soldiers were like bandits, smashing them open fiercely.bsp; Not to mention anything else, just bringing these things back to the Ming Dynasty is enough to easily sell them for millions of taels of silver. Some people will be willing to sell everything to buy these treasures.
"I'm getting rich, I'm really getting rich~"
¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look inside the palace~¡±
Du Mingen¡¯s face was full of smiles, and he couldn¡¯t help but want to go in and see what other treasures there were in this palace.
The door of the palace was opened under Lagan's order. The palace, which was not that big, was also extremely luxurious, and everything was extremely magnificent.
Walls wrapped in gold, floor tiles paved with silver, rockeries made of huge corals, ornaments made of ivory, exquisite patterns made of pearls, gems, jade, etc
??????????????????????????????????????Everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes were straightened, and everyone who watched was dumbfounded.
Even though Du Mingen is a well-informed person, he can't help but open his mouth wide and his eyes are red.
Too rich~
¡°And it¡¯s too arrogant.
¡°The Ming Emperor may not be able to come up with these things.
It¡¯s not that Emperor Hongzhi was poor, or that Ming Dynasty was poor, the main reason was that Ming Dynasty was not rich in these things.
Like corals, the corals of the Ming Dynasty were basically tribute from the Nanyang region. This kind of thing from the ocean is very rare in the Ming Dynasty, and it is extremely difficult to mine.
There are also ivory. There are no elephants here in the Ming Dynasty. Where did the ivory come from?
All ivory needs to be purchased or paid tribute from Siam and Annam. Ancient navigation technology was limited, and the goods that could be carried each time were very limited. It was difficult to obtain these things in large quantities.
There are also pearls, gold, etc. The output of these things in the Ming Dynasty is very small. The key is that the quality is not good. Even though the Ming Emperor is rich all over the world, it is not impossible to get these things in large quantities.
But this requires huge financial, material and manpower costs, which will put a huge burden on the people of Ming Dynasty.
But the king of Luzon was actually able to use these things to decorate his palace, making the entire palace magnificent and luxurious.
It¡¯s not that he is really richer than the Ming Emperor, but because he is in Luzon, where gold and silver are produced, and there are a lot of these things here.
As for pearls and corals, let alone them. This has been an important producing area of ??pearls and corals since ancient times. Moreover, it is close to Bo Ni, Siam, and Annan, so ivory, gems, jade and other things are not rare.
It is natural to decorate this palace so luxuriously that everyone¡¯s eyes will be opened.
"Get rich~"
"I really got rich~"
Not only Du Mingen was shouting, but all the people who rushed into the castle were shouting excitedly.
Like locusts, everyone began to sweep every corner of the castle. The rare pearls, corals, ivories, gems, jade, gold, silver, etc. of the Ming Dynasty were everywhere here. A little bit of it would be enough to last a lifetime.
In every corner of the castle, a pair of Ming soldiers were like crazy, carrying big and small bags full of stuff, constantly plundering, wishing they could dig deep and move everything back to the Ming Dynasty. go.
In the palace, Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong led people to press Lagan to Lagan's treasure house. The heavy treasure house door was slowly opened, and everyone poured in.
"I'm going~"
Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong were a little better. Others who followed could not help but marvel.
The not-so-big treasure house in front of me is filled with gold, which is smelted into bricks. It is piled full of bricks, and there are also large boxes. When the boxes are opened, there are boxes and boxes of pearls inside. Jade, agate, gemstones, all kinds of colors are dazzling.
"I've really made a fortune. I'm afraid the gold alone is worth millions of taels~"
Lin Shuhong smiled and said, he was quite calm. After all, when he was in Golden Continent, he had seen cities and houses built with gold. The treasure house full of gold and jewelry in front of him was pretty good.
"There must be millions of taels. If we include these things outside, tens of millions of taels of silver will definitely not be able to escape. The key is that many of these things cannot be bought in our Ming Dynasty even if we have money."
Du Mingen made a slight calculation, nodded with a smile and said, this time he really made a fortune. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
