The Ming Navy raided the Dutch Navy at night. Although the Dutch sent patrol ships, they still lost the opportunity. They didn't even have time to line up the formation and responded in a hasty way, resulting in a passive move. At the same time, the Nanwan Port they occupied was also attacked fiercely like waves, and their morale dropped greatly under the enemy on both sides.
In fact, there is another important reason for their failure
In the afternoon, they were going back to Nanwan Port for a rest, intending to eat the stubborn Ming soldiers in one go, but only two or three hundred regular troops. They originally thought it could be easily solved, but they were blocked by a very powerful strange weapon, which led to the Dutch commander Van Bronshorst, who believed that the Ming Empire had mysterious advanced weapons. The Sulu natives and the Dutch were also guarding each other because of frustration.
Even the Dutch, who was willing to give up on the base of Java, was so desperate that he could not make any moves in Manila. Van Bronshorst felt desperate. He was afraid that the revenge of the Ming army was not only the ones, but also the native Sulu would blow the fence-bearing grass and fight against him.
At the last moment, he decided to give up Manila and preserve his strength. After paying the price of losing nearly half of the ship, more than 30 warships carried them away from the Ming Philippines and turned to the Japanese island.
This battle ended with the perfect victory of Gao Gui's side. Although the number of people on the island was as many as 3,000 people, and the destroyed houses, hospitals, schools and shops were like typhoons passing through the border, with serious losses, compared with Java Island, he still achieved a huge victory. What made him even more satisfied was the courage and loyalty shown by the citizens of Manila when the Dutch and Sulu natives attacked.
The weak can only crawl at the feet of the strong, just like the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, prospered and was the world's largest country. No matter from any perspective, the people of the Song Dynasty had absolute reasons to regard all countries and nations except the Song Dynasty as barbarians, technology, civilization, and business...
All are the pinnacle of the world
Take Japan as an example. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the last little emperor of the Song Dynasty jumped into the sea on Yashan Mountain, the whole of Japan was saddened by it, eating vegetarian food and eating vegetarian food to mourn the Song Dynasty.
During the Ming Dynasty, there were many Japanese pirates along the coast of China, but they were mainly harassing and plundering wealth. In the late Qing Dynasty, Japan no longer had awe of China, launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and brazenly started the war against China until the war of aggression against China during World War II.
Please remember these history. From the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent Tang envoys to pay tribute to China. By the Song Dynasty, Japan even sent women to borrow seeds from men of the Song Dynasty to improve its race. Then the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were suffering from Japanese pirates. Until later invading China, let's see clearly. This is the history of Japan and China. When they were weak, they crawled at the feet of China and were willing to be grandsons. When they became strong, the former boss was trampled by them.
Gao Gui never believed in loyalty. If you don’t have the ability to surrender, how could they be loyal to you?
What Manila citizens are likely to show today will be like the Japanese in the future. That is not surprising, and there is no need to be angry. If you want to be respected, you must show your strength.
If seizing the Philippines laid the foundation for the recovery of the Ming Empire, then occupying Java (Indonesia) by force is truly a key step for the overseas Ming Dynasty to begin to become a strong country.
The Qing court had to place the Zheng family regime in Taiwan in an extremely heavyweight position. The growing strength of the Taiwan Bend and the brilliant achievements of the capture of Luzon and Java shocked the government and the public, and directly rewrites the dominance of Europe over Southeast Asia. Many small countries also began to send envoys to the Zheng family.
Zheng Kebi experienced the dignity and status that a king should have for the first time. He was not worried that Gao Gui would be respectful, because after Gao Gui captured Java, he wrote him a letter asking him to send officials to Java and set Java as a province of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this was just on the surface, and in secret he also had a secret letter to persuade him to be emperor.
It was this secret letter that made Zheng Kebi trust Gao Gui more, and appointed Gao Gui as King of Luzon and granted Luzon (Philippines) to him as a territory.
But Gao Gui politely declined, saying that he was called the king of the Philippines, so why does he need such a flashy and false reputation?
Is there little lesson in history that the great achievements shocked the Lord?
Not only did he refuse the throne of King Luzon, he also showed his thoughts and sent Cromwell to Taiwan to help Zheng Kebi develop a new warship
Zheng Kebi greatly appreciated it, and the rewarded resources were allocated to Gao Gui one by one.
In fact, it is not Gao Gui who really wants to show his loyalty to Zheng Kebi. It is really that several apprentices brought by Cromwell Jr. have been able to operate them alone. One of them is a Jew named Frost. The purpose of his attempt to make Cromwell Jr. was actually selfish. The Taiwan bend is actually a fortress in front of him. Whether the fortress is strong and how much pressure can it hold up, the greater his development space in the Philippines.
If the Qing court sent troops, he would provide support without hesitation. On the other hand, if the Philippines was attacked by a certain country, he would not ask Taiwan to send troops. King Li Chuang rebelled and directly threatened the capital. Emperor Chongzhen refused to mobilize the elite troops of Wu Sangui who was guarding the border. This is the same. For him, the Philippines and Indonesia, Taiwan is the border!
After the great victory on Java Island, Gao Gui carried out recruitment again and expanded the envoy army. The envoy army reached 50,000 people. Warships, gunpowder, guns and other war resources were also being concentrated in full swing. As for Indonesia, Gao Gui didn't pay attention to it for the time being, but just handed it over to Chen Jinnan to manage it. According to his plan, he was preparing to sell them to America in batches to be slaves. However, he also knew that this move could not be taken rashly now. He was worried that it would trigger a rebound from the Indonesians. The envoyment of the envoy army was to prepare for this plan.
Half a year later, the Envoy Army basically passed the resilience period, and the Special Forces Battalion was expanded to 1,000. Although it was impossible to have so many martial arts masters, its overall strength increased instead of decline.
After sending 30,000 troops to Indonesia and 500 special operations battalions, Gao Gui began his premeditated plan.
A batch of Indonesian natives were taken on a ship to Mexico, to America and Africa. In order to relieve the pressure from Europe, Gui Ye provided two thousand Indonesian slaves with guaranteed quality to the Spanish Governor in Mexico. Anyway, it didn't cost any money. So the friendly Governor of Western Mexico not only accepted Indonesian slaves in large numbers, but also helped Gao Gui sell these slaves to other regions. For a time, money and materials flowed to Gui Ge's pocket.
Of course, there were dozens of riots in this. For this kind of riot from Indonesian people, Mr. Gui would deal with it with high pressure. In a certain place, Gao Gui personally ordered the massacre of the city, killing all men, women, young and old.
It is precisely because of this massacre that shocked China and the world that Gao Gui was called an oriental butcher. Even Chen Jinnan's opposition and Zheng Kebi's obstruction did not change his mind. However, Gao Gui has reduced the impact of this incident to the minimum. At least in the Philippines, almost most people have understood this matter. Of course, this is due to newspapers that have mastered public opinion orientation. In the 17th century, newspapers were a new thing. As a modern traveler, he fully played the role of newspapers. One by one, sensational Indonesian resistance organizations' bloody crimes against Indonesian Chinese businessmen appeared in the newspapers. In this case, let alone Filipinos and Chinese, even Indonesians themselves believed in these bloody crimes. While resisting, they were also complaining about those resistance organizations that were ignorant of the current affairs.
In the autumn of 1684, Gao Gui held a grand wedding. Although he had some selfish intentions, he wanted to use this matter to dilute people's respect for him. Oriental ButcherThe impression of the mother, but he did feel that the merits were fulfilled. In just a few years, he helped the Zheng family get the Philippines and Indonesia, realize the strategic depth, and open up the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Mu family owned a small city in the Philippines, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and no longer had to worry about the persecution of the Qing court. Even Mr. Liu Dahong Liu had already moved from Zhangzhou to settle down in the Philippines. He avenged the tragedy of the Chinese sect in Indonesia at the end of the 20th century. The Indonesians have basically been completely wiped out, scattered in America, Africa and Europe. On this land, there are only Gaoshan people, Filipinos and Han people. Of course, they are mainly Han people. Even some European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany have come to Indonesia for discussion and settlement. In a few years, this land belonging to China will develop more vigorously and prosperous.
This wedding attracted envoys from all over the world. As the hottest figure in the New Ming Empire in the East, no one would refuse such a grand event.
Envoys from Britain, France, Japan, Goryeo, Russia and other countries arrived one after another. What Gao Gui didn’t expect was that on the day of the wedding, a group of mysterious guests came!
In fact, there is another important reason for their failure
In the afternoon, they were going back to Nanwan Port for a rest, intending to eat the stubborn Ming soldiers in one go, but only two or three hundred regular troops. They originally thought it could be easily solved, but they were blocked by a very powerful strange weapon, which led to the Dutch commander Van Bronshorst, who believed that the Ming Empire had mysterious advanced weapons.
