"Physiological man? Aren't they always under the cover of our cannons? How do you plan to deal with them?"

Looking at Dasmarinas' sinister smile, De Vera, who knew what he was asking, deliberately pretended to be confused.

The so-called "physiological man" is actually the Spanish term for the Han people living in Luzon. It is said that the Han people the Spaniards first encountered in Luzon were a group of businessmen from Fujian. When they asked where they came from

Sometimes, the answer I get is 'businessman'.

Then, because of the well-known pronunciation problem of Fujian dialect, these Spaniards naturally misunderstood the businessman as "physiological man".

Just like the Spaniards called the Han people in Luzon "physiological people", the Han people in Luzon also called these white colonists "Qianjiela" according to the transliteration habit because they claimed to be from "Castinia".

people'.

Speaking of which, the Han people have been doing business and operating various shops in Luzon and other Nanyang vassal states for hundreds of years. Coupled with the inherent virtues of diligence and frugality of the Han people, before the arrival of the Spanish, the entire Luzon

The daily necessities of Song Dynasty and various commodity trade supply chains were already controlled by the Han people.

Therefore, when they first came here, the Spaniards who wanted to establish themselves here had to rely on the Han people. So at that time, even though there were some minor frictions between the two sides, overall the relationship was pretty good.

But as time went by, the Spanish began to slowly gain a foothold in Luzon. In addition, after the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, more and more Han people went to Luzon and settled there. The Spaniards became a little restless.

.

There's no way, it's just Manila, and the number of resident Han people has exceeded 30,000 in recent years. And Spain's population is not large, only about 7 million in total, which is less than one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, even fewer Chinese are willing to come to Luzon.

Therefore, in Luzon at this time, even counting the Spanish regular army, which was mainly composed of blacks, mulattos, mixed-race people, Indians, and degenerates, the total number of "Spaniards" was only a little over three thousand.

Therefore, the Spaniards, who had a serious sense of crisis, immediately turned their backs and began to find ways to suppress the local Han people in Luzon.

For example, not only were the Han people imposed a head tax that was several times higher than that of the indigenous "Tagalog" people, but the Han people were not allowed to live in Manila, which was built entirely by Han craftsmen.

They designated two Han residential areas on the plains beside the Pasig River south of Manila. One is on the north bank, called Binondo, where Han people who converted to Catholicism live. The other is called Jiannei.

It is a place where unconverted Han people live.

But whether it was in Binondo or in the stream, they were all within the range of the cannon at the head of Manila City, so its purpose was self-evident.

"Lord Governor, there are too many of these physiological beings. If we don't 'deal' with them before the Ming army arrives, even if we fight jointly with the Portuguese and the Orans, we will not have the slightest chance of winning under their attack from both sides.

…”

Faced with De Vera's inquiry, Dasmarinas did not hide anything, and directly said the solution to 'handle' it with a sinister smile on his face.

"Aren't you afraid of the Ming army's retaliation when they arrive?"

Although he had already guessed what his field commander, who was deeply hostile to the Han people, wanted to say, de Villa was still a little shocked when he actually heard him say it.

It's not that he has any sympathy for the Han people, it's just that he is really afraid that after 'dealing with' these 'physiological people', he will suffer even more cruel revenge from the Ming army if he loses the war.

"My Lord Governor, have you forgotten how your former Governor, my father, died? If you leave these biological people behind, I'm sure you will be the same when the time comes..."

"Dasmarinas..."

When Dasmarinas mentioned his father, former Governor Dasmarinas Sr., De Vera's expression suddenly changed.

It turned out that in the 21st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish tortured all the slave oarsmen used for paddling on the former governor's flagship to death because the supervisors were too violent and cruel. On this day, the Spanish were preparing to go

He conquered a nearby island, so he saw that there were no paddlers available when the war came, so he had no choice but to recruit among the Han people.

However, the Han people are all engaged in business, so how can they be willing to do the slave work of being chained on a ship? So in the end, the Spaniards had no choice but to agree to allow the Han people to row their hands without chains. And

He could carry weapons and board the ship as a soldier, so he recruited 250 oarsmen.

However, that evening, the wind and waves were fierce. When the fleet docked at a cape, the wind was so unfavorable that the Chinese oarsmen could not move the ship forward even though they rowed hard. Therefore, those Spanish supervisors, who were accustomed to being cruel, treated the Han oarsmen as

He was treated like a slave oarsman in the past. Needless to say, fierce friction naturally arose between the two parties.

Subsequently, these cruel Spaniards threatened to chain the Chinese oarsmen and punish them severely.

At this time, the Han oarsmen were frightened and angry, so in line with the idea of ​​​​strike first to gain advantage and attack later to suffer disaster, under the leadership of a rower named Pan Hewu, they killed all the Spaniards on the boat that night.

, including the Spanish Governor Dasmanas the Elder.

Then, because the flagship was at the end of the fleet, what happened on the ship was not discovered by the Spaniards on other ships. Therefore, Pan and Wuyi's group succeeded in escaping in the end and prepared to flee back to Daming.

But in the end, when passing through Annan, in order to avoid the storm, the Annan people detained the boat and its belongings...

Although the cause of the incident was that the Spaniards were too cruel, there is no doubt that de Vera's former governor died at the hands of the Han.

So from then on, the Spaniards, who were already worried about the Han people, became even more vigilant and suppressed the Han people.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"

In the end, although he was worried about the retaliation of the Ming army, but thinking that with the three-nation coalition, de Vera would not necessarily be defeated, he finally agreed with Dasmarinas's opinion of "dealing with" the biological man.

"Remember, do things in a secretive way and don't let the news leak out. Otherwise, before the Ming army arrives, we will be torn to pieces by these physiological men!"

Finally, looking at Dasmarinas with a sinister look on his face, De Vera warned him with a serious face.

Now that the decision has been made, De Vera will naturally have no hesitation.

"Don't worry, Governor, I will do this thoroughly and ensure that there will never be another physio in Manila, hahahaha!"

With De Vera's permission, Dasmarinas, who had always had a sinister expression on his face before, finally laughed happily.

However, what de Vera doesn't know at this moment is that he agreed to Dasmarinas's order to 'deal with' the Luzon Han people. Although it has brought disaster to the Luzon Han people now, it will bring disaster to the Luzon Han people in the future.

He could not even imagine what kind of serious disaster it would bring to the whole of Spain and even to the whole of Europe.
