C3102 The army approaches the Subik Bay. (2/2)
In the end, the Brunei Bay War had completely convinced the ministers and royalty of these observer missions. The fifteen giant sail battleship s were undefeatable gods in the eyes of these backward nations.
Thousands of captives roamed the streets of the city, the European prestige completely wiped out!
All doubts were cleared from Sulu, and on the spot, she expressed her willingness to accept the leader's conditions. She wanted to make the Chinese clan the sect leader, and all of Sulu's lands to be used as she wished, and she wanted them to garrison her troops!
”Good, good, good! The first day of the new year, a double gift for the leader! ”A celebratory feast!”
Brunei began to celebrate his victory, and at this time, no one else in Nan Yang knew the news of his victory!
Subik Bay is a small bay facing the South China Sea north of Manila Bay. The bay is 14 kilometers long, 8 to 13 kilometers wide and has a water depth of 24 to 50 meters. It has good anchorage and beautiful scenery. The United States established a naval base there in 1901 and was reclaimed by the Philippine government after 1991.
At this moment, the Spaniard was obviously not aware of the important military significance of this place. The Subik Bay in front of them was just a natural anchorage for fishermen to avoid the rain and wind.
The war had clearly affected the order of the place. The European supervisors of the sugar mill had long since lost their sense of place and production had stopped. The workers of the sugar factory could only wander the streets like ghosts, not knowing where to go to earn a living.
This year, the colonial administration had already raised taxes four times in a row. The people were on the verge of revolting, and the war had triggered a shortage of supplies and fear, which had caused the prices on the market to rise threefold or fourfold.
Unemployed indigenous refugees wandered hungry, watching the barren paddy fields outside the city and imagining the rich Chinese who had worked there before.
”Pah …” These Chinese people have already run away. If they don't run away, they can still grow rice for us to eat. If not, we can still snatch it! ”
”Now that they've all run away, they deserve to die. When will those silly Chinese who only know how to farm come back!” ”I really miss having rice to eat …”
The Chinese in the north of Luzon had started a rebellion, all the Chinese in the other places fled. They knew very well the morals of these colonists and natives, since they were already in a state of war, these people would definitely kill them for revenge.
The Chinese gangs had already started to protect these Chinese people. Even 60% of Manila's Chinese people had already left, not to mention these remote villages.
The Chinese people who were about to leave burned all the food in their hands. Even if they couldn't take it with them, they wouldn't leave any trace of it for these Spaniard and Europeans to starve to death these bastards!
Without the Chinese, the local economy immediately fell into chaos. Many areas were so poor that there was no food to eat. Many poor natives could only search the suburbs for fruits to feed their hunger.
It was only at this point that they understood the benefits of being a Chinese, but the habit of looking down on Chinese that they had developed over the years would not change.
Just as the group of aboriginal monkeys was drooling as they watched the Chinese burn the paddy fields, a clamor suddenly came from the direction of the bay, as if countless people were screaming.
A group of natives quickly climbed onto the coconut tree and shaded their eyes as they looked out towards the sea. The sight scared him so much that he immediately loosened his grip and hung himself from the top of the tree.
”Ship!” So many ships! The Dragon flag with the Chinese written on it! All Chinese ships! ”
