The Lin family came to Luzon in the late Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years since then. From this point, it is normal for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty to ignore their help. After all, they have reached the point of view of jurisprudence. Without any duty of responsibility, the virtues of the Qing rulers were impelled, let alone the fact that there was no such thing as incense.

In fact, all Chinese people are proud. Although the Lin family has been in Luzon for more than 200 years, they have not been married to the local indigenous people. The scope of intermarriage is limited to the local Chinese in Luzon. This also makes the Lin family retain pure Han family blood. This is particularly evident in the residential structure. Although Luzon is now a Spanish colony, the Lin family's house still retains the traditional Chinese style, with axisymmetric symmetry, and squareness.

The entire Lin family compound covers an area of ​​more than 20 hectares. Here, there are more than 400 people of the Lin family. If you add slaves, the total is about 1,000 people.

At this moment, the quietness and warmth of the past are no longer seen in the courtyard. Almost every courtyard is playing a scene of sadness and joy. Some people will be sent to Ryukyu in advance, and some people will stay and fight with the Spanish. Maybe, this One thing is forever.

After arranging the accommodation for Austin and others, Lin Xianghai finally returned to the back house. At this time, there was also a mess of horses and horses. The husbands were crying to clean up, and the servants were busy moving the large boxes and small cabinets to the carriage, watching the posture, and Evacuation is probably indifferent, but it is almost the same as moving.

Seeing Lin Xianghai's return, Lin Xianghai's wife and four servants all cried around. The two little sisters were still holding their unborn children. They had only one purpose, hoping that Lin Xianghai would go to Ryukyu with them.

"Master, we would rather give up this million family wealth, only to be safe for the family. Even if we are born in Ryukyu, even if we escape from the birth, why would the master stay here and die, no matter who they lose or who win, it will have nothing to do with us in the future. , Even if the master has the heart of coexisting with the old house, he must also consider our orphans and widows— "Lin Xianghai's wife, Zhang, begged hard, and her mother's family was almost wiped out in the riots three years ago. I don't want to experience that kind of heartache again.

In fact, before the Spanish colonized Luzon, the relationship between the Luzon Chinese and the natives was not good. Before the Chinese arrived in Luzon, thanks to the rich natural resources on the Luzon side, the indigenous people did not need to work hard and rely on the large The gift of nature can multiply, without the threat of nature, the indigenous people naturally have no incentive to work. This situation does not know how many years, until the Chinese came to Luzon, completely changed the social structure of Luzon .

No matter when the Chinese are, they have almost a natural instinct for the accumulation of wealth. Even if the Chinese came to Luzon without any money, it didn't take them many years, and they would always be able to save a family business. Although the Chinese people earned it through hard work, they were rather uncomfortable to the Luzon natives. Everyone obviously had nothing in common. Why did you build new houses and reclaim plantations? Should belong to us-

Therefore, when the Spaniards regarded the Chinese as their opponents, the Spaniards did not need much effort at all, and the greedy indigenous people aimed the butchers at the Chinese who should belong to the same front as them.

"Mr crying, I have four of Lin Xianghai's fifty this year. I have eaten everything in my life, I have seen everything I have seen. Seven wives and twelve sons have reached the age of knowing their destiny. People often say We Chinese are weak, I would like to see, who can easily take over this family business of our dozens of generations. "Lin Xianghai is resolute, even if the Spanish king comes in person, Lin Xianghai will collapse the king two Teeth.

The process was a bit tortuous. Just four years ago, a bourgeois revolution broke out in Spain, Amadeo I was forced to abdicate, Spain established the First Republic, Cuba also seized the opportunity to establish the United States of Cuba, and the Bourbon Dynasty was restored. Fonzo XII was the King of Spain and returned to the throne in the previous year. It should be emphasized that the young Alfonso XII just turned 20 this year, and the Spanish domestic power is controlled by Prime Minister Antonio Canovas del. In the hands of Castillo.

It is also because of the turmoil in Spain over the past few years that the United States has determined that the object of "Levi" is Spain.

"Dad, let me stay, too." Lin Xianghai's eldest son, Lin Jianyi, offered to ask for help.

"You go to Ryukyu, and from now on you will be the principal of the Lin family, take care of your mother, aunts, and siblings." Lin Xianghai only kept his second son, Lin Jianan, besides. Although there is Austin on the Luzon side, they may not be very dangerous, but Ryukyu is definitely safer.

"Don't bring those big items, just pack some soft ones. We are fleeing, not moving, the space on the boat is limited, and we can send everyone all over, thank God." Lin Xianghai continued to order, and now the property in the Lin family compound is strict Speaking of Bai Qi, it is already good to be able to bring some softness. Although Bai Qi is also a Chinese, Lin Xianghai knows that Bai Qi is definitely not a saint.

After the order, Lin Xianghai took Lin Jianyi and Lin Jianan to the Hou Zhai study, which is the brain center of the Lin family.

"Did you buy all the weapons you bought?" Lin Xianghai asked Lin Jianyi.

Before heading to Ryukyu, Lin Xianghai also made two-handed preparations. It is good if Bai Qi is willing to lend a helping hand, but Lin Xianghai has not pinned all his hopes on Bai Qi. If Bai Qi ignores the Lin family's plight like the Qing government, it ca n’t be said. Lin Xianghai also had to let go. Anyway, there was a death on either side. Lin Xianghai didn't want to disappear silently like the Zhang and Huang families.

Although the Lin family ’s immediate family members only have more than a hundred mouths, there are still more than 400 relatives. The Lin family ’s servants also have hundreds. Even if they do not count the Lin family ’s employees, these people gather and gather together to make a hundred people. It is not difficult. As long as there is a weapon, the Lin family may not have no resistance.

In terms of the threats faced by the Lin family, the indigenous attacks are not the main problem. The Spaniards are the overlords. The indigenous people are still reluctant to deal with the sporadic Chinese. To deal with large families like the Lin family, there is no organization and no discipline. Those thugs were harder than reaching the sky. They were afraid that the Lin family could cope with the indigenous attacks, but they could not cope with the Spanish cannons. The Zhang family and the Huang family disappeared in this way. Lin Xianghai didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

"I bought some, but the quantity was not large, and most of the firearms were not available. Most were firearms, and even the firearms were very few." Lin Jianyi frowned. Obviously, the situation was not as optimistic as Lin Xianghai expected.

"Fuck the Dutch--" Lin Xianghai cursed, and it seemed that he would have to deal with the Spaniards, or he would count on the assistance from Ryukyu.

Luzon is next to the Dutch East India. Before getting support from Ryukyu, Lin Xianghai hoped that he could get some weapons from the Dutch, even if the price was high.

The problem is that the Dutch are not stupid. The Chinese turned over in Ryukyu and the Japanese salted fish. Of course, the Spanish in Luzon have a lot of heart. The Dutch in the Dutch East India are also cautious, although the Lin family bought weapons to deal with the Spanish. But God knows whether this storm will affect the Dutch East India. In the Dutch East India, the Dutch are more worried about the Chinese in the Dutch East India than the Spanish in Luzon, so even if Lin Xianghai is paying a sky-high price, The Dutch also insisted that they would not sell better weapons to the Lin family.

It is said that the Dutch did not even sell their rifles. Don't look at the steed weapon company that has developed a magazine-type rifle a few years ago, but so far, the mainstream weapons in the world are still single-shot rifles. The Dutch do not want to The Turks and Russians faced huge pressures on national defense, and their rule in the Dutch East India was still solid. Therefore, in this regard, the Dutch did not have any demand at all, and even the Dutch army was not equipped with burst rifles. It goes without saying that the Dutch East India is the same as Lin Xianghai. The Dutch East India side, the colonial army is mainly equipped with flintlocks, and only a part of the army is equipped with single-shot rifles. As for the more advanced light and heavy machine guns, the entire In the Far East, only Qing Dynasty has a small amount of equipment.

To say that in terms of weapon renewal, the Qing Dynasty never left behind, maybe it has always been worried whether it will be driven out of the Han by the Hans. The Qing government's investment in this area was never hesitant. At first, the Gatling machine gun appeared. The Qing government Let the domestic arsenal be copied. Later, because the problem of gunpowder residues could not be solved, there was no large-scale equipment for Gatling. Now that there is a smokeless gunpowder, the Qing government finally remembered the Gatling machine gun. Currently in Qing Dynasty, a small amount of it has begun. equipment.

"Will there be some assistance over Ryukyu?" Lin Jian'an just turned 30 this year. This is the age of blood, and he already has four sons. Don't worry about his son-in-law.

"Although General Bai Qi of Ryukyu agreed to give us some assistance, this will ultimately be tampered with. In the long run, we still have to do both." Lin Xianghai didn't want to hang himself on a crooked neck tree. Ryukyu's help It only cares about Bai Qi's preferences, if he is willing to give, if he is unwilling to leave, then this feeling of being pinched, Lin Xianghai does not like it very much.

This is also a common problem of all successful people. Successful people always have a strong desire to control, do not like to see unstable factors, and wish to annihilate all potential dangers in the bud. Lin Xianghai is like this.

"Dad, what else can we do in this situation? We can only try our best to cooperate and hope that the general will be honest and believe." Lin Jianyi is a bit pessimistic, and he needs to have the enlightenment of others. The small movements are normal, but if they are found by the people in Ryukyu, it is dangerous. If this is the case, the Lin family will be abandoned and the Lin family will have no hope.

"Yes, but I think too much. The only way to do this today is to achieve consensus. I think the general Bai Qi still has a second hand. We may not have the opportunity to come back." Lin Xianghai wakes up in time, and cooperation is the most taboo thing. At both ends of the first mouse, if you accidentally smashed it, the lives of the young and old are all in vain hands.

I'm afraid Lin Xianghai doesn't know. Bai Qi's second hand is the Far East Company that is about to arrive in Ryukyu. If it is known that the US government has decided to declare war on the Spaniards, maybe Lin Xianghai will not actively seek Baiqi door.

"How's the preparation at home?" Lin Xianghai returned to his thoughts, finally remembering to figure out his own bottom.

"Except for me, Jianmin, Jianxin and Jianyuan of the second uncle's family will all stay. Our Lin family will leave more than 20 people, plus more than 300 servants in the family. "Lin Jian'an is in charge of counting the left-behind people, and the results are pretty good. There is a bonus of the Chinese people's local complex, and there are not many people who leave voluntarily.

This still requires most people to relocate to Ryukyu. If it is voluntary, there will be more people left. After all, for the current Lin family, Luzon is their hometown. They were born in Luzon. Growing up in Luzon and going to Ryukyu is a real departure from home, especially for those who are older, if they are not mandatory, most of them are willing to stay in Luzon, even if they face it next Aboriginal attacks and Spanish favoritism.

"Four hundred people are enough. While at sea, Lao Chen and I fought in an ambush. With these four hundred people, we cooperated with the weapons provided to us by Ryukyu, not to mention Manila, at least to keep our family business. There is no problem. "Lin Xianghai finally restored a little confidence, and then it depends on whether the Ryukyu side is more powerful.

Four hundred people didn't sound like much, but in fact, in the case of poor equipment, the four hundred people were already very good. Put a hundred years ago, with sufficient logistics, four hundred people could come from the American continent. At the other end, the Spaniards ’army in Luzon was very poor during this period. There were only a few thousand soldiers, even the servants. The situation was similar to those in the Dutch East India. Some were even equipped. A hundred years ago, if they gave Austin a few months, they would not need the Far East Company to do it. With the hundreds of people in the Lin Family Courtyard, they could easily defeat the Spaniards in Manila.

In the original history, the fighting between the Americans and the Spanish was almost unhindered, because the Spanish were weak at home, and the Spanish Far East fleet had not replaced the warship for at least fifteen years. In front of the new warship commanded by George Dewey, the Spanish Navy Hardly got the chance to get out of the Manila Port, and was completely wiped out by George Dewey. As for Luzon's servants, they lost the deterrence of the navy, the combat effectiveness of the servants was infinitely close to zero, and the US troops had not yet landed. The minions were ready to surrender.

That is, the Americans seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When you are ill, you will give the Spanish a fatal blow. Even if the Americans do not take the shot, and you change to any country at this time, even the Qing Dynasty that is about to die, you can defeat it. The Spanish of Luzon.
