Although the war is over, the city of Manila has not calmed down. Because of Zhu Heyu's order to confiscate the Spanish wealth, countless Spaniards are wailing tragically at this moment.

"You robbers! Devils! God will not forgive you."

Seeing their hard-earned wealth being taken away one by one by the Ming army soldiers, these Spaniards could only stand aside, wiping their tears and uttering incompetent curses.

As for resistance?

The tragedy at the city gate was still vivid in their minds, and the faint smell of blood in the air reminded them all the time.

The Ming army knows how to kill people!

But now these Spaniards are not leaving. It's not that they don't want to leave, but that they can't leave at all.

At the beginning of the riot, merchants who were worried about being affected drove away most of the merchant ships.As the situation became increasingly chaotic, the remaining half also fled the place.The only remaining Spanish fleet also fled in despair under Zhu Heyi's artillery fire.

Today, there are only a few small sampans left in the entire Manila Bay port.

And letting them take the land route is even more impossible.

There are not only cannibals hiding in the rainforest, but also a large number of fleeing thugs. Once you fall into the hands of these people, life will definitely be worse than death.

So it would be more practical to let them go overland than to shoot them directly in the head.

The money was gone and they could not leave. These Spaniards could only look at the 10 silver dollars in their hands with tears in their eyes and pray for the miserable life in the future.

However, compared to the indigenous people who can only cower in their shacks and tremble, these Spaniards are much luckier. At least the 10 silver coins Zhu Heyi left for them is a huge amount that the indigenous people cannot take out anyway. payment.

"Bah! You deserve it! These Spaniards who were stabbed a thousand times never thought that they would have such a day."

"No, they used to bully us every day. Now it's time for them to try what it's like to be bullied."

"Let me tell you, Your Highness is too kind. He even left 10 silver dollars for each of these white-skinned pigs! That's a lot."

"That is, if it were me, I wouldn't leave them a single copper!"

The Chinese people who were watching the confiscation of their homes felt so happy when they saw the Spanish people who were shouting for help! After being exploited and oppressed for so many years, they finally got through it!

Most of the Chinese in Nanyang are the descendants of the Chinese who left behind during Zheng He's voyages to the West, and the Han Chinese who went south to seek survival in Guangdong, Fujian and other places to escape the war.They have no resistance to Ming Dynasty, or they have a high sense of identity.After all, the Ming Dynasty's more than 200 years of rule had already subconsciously convinced them that they were Ming people.

Unfortunately, the poor Ming court was unable to help them, and Zheng Chenggong's plan to expedition to Southeast Asia was terminated due to his death.

This makes the Nanyang Chinese like motherless children. Faced with the exploitation by the Spaniards, they can only accept humiliation and accept beatings and scoldings.Now, with the appearance of Zhu Heyi and Ming Jun, they have become children with parents. Watching their parents deal with the bad guys who bullied them before, they feel naturally happy.

"Hey, don't worry about these Spaniards. I heard that a large military ship from the imperial court came to the port. Many people came to see it. If you arrive late, you won't be able to get in."

While the people watching were still criticizing the Spaniards, a young man ran over quickly and said breathlessly.

"The imperial warship? Let's take a look!"

"Go together, go together!"

Everyone immediately became interested when they heard what the young man said.

Naturally, they had seen warships. The Spanish warships often showed off their power in Manila Bay, but they had never seen the Ming warships.

These Chinese people who had just been rescued by the Ming army were now very interested in everything about the Ming Dynasty!

In the crowded Manila Bay port, Zhu Heyi watched the seven warships being slowly pulled into the berth by the indigenous trackers without much emotion.

After all, he was an ensign in the Republic's Navy before time travel. Although he did not serve on a large destroyer or aircraft carrier, he was certainly seen often.After getting used to seeing big guys with tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons, it is really hard to get excited when looking at these sail warships with a displacement of thousands of tons in front of them.

But others are different.

"Your Highness! Is this...is this really a warship of our Ming Navy?" Wang Chen pointed at the largest first-class battleship and stumbled.

Wang Chen couldn't help but be excited. He had seen the warships of the Ming Navy.

You must know that the standard main battleship of the Ming Dynasty, the 400-meter Fuchuan, is only about 100 meters long and has a displacement of more than 2000 tons.Zheng Chenggong's [-]-ton large-scale fortune ship was only about a thousand tons.

And the big thing in front of him was huge compared to the 400-material fortune ship in his memory.

The first-class battleship that Wang Chen refers to is a systematic reproduction based on the sailing battleship Valmy of the French Navy in the 19th century.

She is 64 meters long and 18 meters wide, has a full load displacement of 5800 tons, has 4 decks, is equipped with 120 artillery pieces, and can fire explosive bombs.It was the largest sailing battleship ever seen at that time and in history.

The other two second-level battleships have a displacement of about 2000 tons and have 90 guns on three decks. The remaining four fourth-level cruisers have a displacement of more than 50 tons and have [-] guns on two decks.

"There's nothing surprising. We will have more powerful battleships in the future." Zhu Heyi said disapprovingly. Knowing the historical development and having a cheat finger, he naturally had the confidence to say this, but Wang Chen didn't know. Just think that His Highness is talking nonsense again.But it seems that the nonsense His Highness said last time has now become a fact?

On the pier, most of the people who came to watch the warships were Chinese, but there were still some white faces among them, including the British, French, Dutch, Portuguese...

Zhu Heyi was not yet confident enough to face attacks from multiple countries at the same time, so the house raids in the city were only targeted at the Spaniards.

"God, it's even bigger than the Courage! How on earth did these Ming people build it?" A British man exclaimed as he looked at the huge hull of the first-class battleship on the berth.

Several other white people next to him also had their eyes widened at this moment.

Among them are the Dutch, the Portuguese, and the French. Without exception, the navies of their countries are among the top in this era. However, they searched all the warships in their country in their minds and could not find them. Create a ship that is comparable to the one in front of you.

And except for the largest one, the other six ships are also not bad.

Two second-level battleships that can serve as fleet flagships, four fleet main ultra-light battleships, and they don't even have a medium-sized or smaller warship.

Is the Ming Dynasty's navy so exaggerated?
