The growth of Lin Afeng

At that time, the island team was formed in Patricia Lam Fung, and the influx of people gradually incorporated some maritime activities organizations to form a powerful fleet, killing corrupt officials along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, and sometimes making a living by looting. In the second year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1574), Patricia Lam Fung led 62 warships and more than 4,000 sailors from Taiwan Province to the Philippines, together with the local people, to expel the Spanish colonists and open up overseas trade bases. The fleet sailed for two days, reached the border of Luzon, and immediately captured Miyan. The commander of the Spanish garrison, Sahilo, fled by boat, and the fleet advanced with victory, which matched Manila. The soldiers flew very fast, and Patricia Lam Fung ordered the vanguard troops to attack Manila at night with 600 elite soldiers. Unexpectedly, at night, the weather changed suddenly, it was stormy, the waves were like mountains, the ship sank by half, and more than 200 people were missing. At the same time, due to the difficulty of sailing in the dark, they boarded the wrong place. When they moved to Manila, it was already dawn and the Spanish were ready. Regardless of fatigue, the vanguard troops bravely attacked, broke into the Spanish headquarters, killed the commander-in-chief Gaudi, and then went straight to the Governor's Office. Governor Lebesari's pro-Governor's Guard and the westerners in the city stand firm and the two sides are deadlocked. Because of continuous bumps and battles, the vanguard gradually lost its strength and had to quit.

After two days' rest, Patricia Lam Fung sent 1500 men to attack the city. There are fortifications to follow in the city, which are difficult to take. The attacking department had to charge with arrows and artillery fire, resulting in heavy casualties. Although a team rushed into the city, they all died heroically because they were outnumbered. When Patricia Lam Fung sent 500 more reinforcements, it was already difficult to organize an effective attack. Because of the weather and terrain, the two attacks on Manila ended in failure, but Patricia Lam Fung was not discouraged. He led his troops back to Kameyama Port and established the capital in BanShi Lan. In a few months, he led his troops to build a house, a castle, a pagoda and some fortresses, ready to resist the Spanish colonists. Patricia Lam Fung, known as the king, was welcomed and supported by the local aborigines.

When the Spanish saw Lin Feng's founding a city, they regarded it as a worry. After a period of preparation, the Governor-General in the Philippines, Lebi Shiri, mobilized a fleet of more than 6,000 people. In March of the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1575), he cooperated with the Ming army in Chaozhou to jointly encircle and encircle Patricia Lam Fung. Patricia Lam Fung led the battle and fought fiercely for more than four months. Western soldiers and ordnance kept coming, but Patricia Lam Fung was fighting alone, and food and machinery could not be obtained. Under the attack of Chinese and Western fleets, Patricia Lam Fung was bold. On August 4th, he made a clever breakthrough overnight and led more than 40 ships back to Taiwan Province.

After returning to Taiwan, Patricia Lam Fung returned to Chaozhou, infested with Zhelin, Jinghai and Jieshi. The number of ships increased to more than 150, and the strength was restored. Later, due to differences in internal strategies, his subordinates Cai De, Rui-qi Li and Chen went to Chaoyangmen to be caressed. Patricia Lam Fung persisted in resisting the Ming Dynasty. Due to the limitation of historical conditions, Patricia Lam Fung had to "return to the west" and had nowhere to go.

China's pirate Patricia Lam Fung (Raoping) became powerful at sea and defeated another pirate in China, Lin Daogan (Chenghai). Emperor China equipped a fleet to suppress the pirate Patricia Lam Fung, and the pirates retreated to Dashan Guangang to get information about the Philippines. Pirate Patricia Lam Fung went to the Philippine Islands and arrived in Manila. At first, 400 soldiers sent by Patricia Lam Fung burned Manila, but others resisted. The chief of Manila is ready to resist China's attack and repel them. Then Patricia Lam Fung retreated and camped on the plain near the Bansland River. Sadsido, the leader of the war, attacked Patricia Lam Fung, burned his boat and besieged his stockade for three months. The pirates escaped tactfully. Emperor China's general, the king, pursued him and met the Spaniard. Wang was entertained by the field commander and lived with the Governor of Manila, where they agreed to let Father St. Augustine go to China. Wang was allowed to leave, and he and the pirates left awkwardly. At the same time, he took father St. Augustine. The Spanish king and captain left the port of Polinau and arrived. Captain Wang arrived in Quanzhou, but before he broke down, he had some friction with another admiral. The Spaniard left Fuzhou and arrived at Quanzhou, Xingquan Road Station. He ordered them to go to the port of Zhongzuosuo, and he personally went to see them off. When he set out, he expressed his goodwill and held a banquet for them. The Spaniards left the center and went to the Philippines, stopping on the island every day. Describe their experiences on the island. They got the news that Patricia Lam Fung had escaped on a nearby island. Some people advocated attacking him, but they decided not to do so and sailed to Manila.

Everything in the history of the Ming Dynasty can be mapped to modern China. For the western world of the Ming Dynasty, the colonial activities rewrote their own history in a sense, and the Ming Dynasty also had similar overseas expeditions in China. However, the academic circles often define it as piracy, especially the Japanese piracy incident, which makes the color of these overseas development activities more and more confusing. At that time, South Asia and Southeast Asia were important areas of western world colonization. In this area, we are now used to seeing the activities of westerners, and the western colonial forces are undoubtedly in a dominant position. However, the role played by China people should not be underestimated. The history of interaction between China and Southeast Asia is earlier than that of western colonists, and China has exerted great influence on Southeast Asia. Before the Western colonists arrived in Southeast Asia, the economic and cultural exchanges between China and Southeast Asia had reached a high level. By the Ming Dynasty, China was able to carry out overseas development similar to that of the West. However, from the late Ming Dynasty, western colonialists came from behind. Why does this happen in China, which has geographical advantages? Is it because China, as a landlocked country, lacks pioneering consciousness or other reasons? The reason is beyond my power, but on the basis of research by experts and scholars, I am willing to try to make a simple description of the history of a "pirate" named Patricia Lam Fung's contact and struggle with westerners in Southeast Asia.

Westerners remember it as limahong or limoHhong, and some people remember it as Dim-mhon, which is generally translated into Li, Li Mahong or Fang, and even Li Awang. The vast majority of Raoping people in Chaozhou Prefecture, whose ancestral family Lin Tongxian is nicknamed Little Tail, are all famous pirates in Raoping. Lin Tongxian's collaboration with the enemy was later broken. Patricia Lam Fung is the grandson of Lin Fengyang and the nephew of pirate Wu Ping. It can be said that Patricia Lam Fung is a physiological family that grew up in plain water. Although there are no special records in Ming History, Tong Ming Jian and Shi Ming Lu, there are traces of his previous attacks on Luzon Island in local chronicles. Generally speaking, it records his activities as a pirate. "Shenquan patrol is in Shenquan Village, Shili, Huilai County, which is adjacent to the sea. Jiajing was the city for twenty-three years, and it was taken by the pirate Lin Feng" (Tongzhi volume 123 coastal defense), Qin Long Winter in October of the second year, Patricia Lam Fung went from Shenquan Town (Huzhou Prefecture), Penghu in the early years of Wanli, and Book of National Heritage on Earth. During this period, Patricia Lam Fung kept in touch with the Japanese. Later, when he attacked Manila, he had a Japanese commander in chief. Later, Qi Jiguang sent his good friends to Penghu Mountain to break Patricia Lam Fung. In the first year of Wanli (A.D. 1573), Patricia Lam Fung invaded the Minhai Sea again and was defeated by the company commander Hu Shouren. He fled to Qian 'ao for help, but Yi Yun, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, refused. Patricia Lam Fung at this time although there are more than ten thousand people, but it is helpless. It can only travel between Fujian and Guangzhou, and then from Penghu to the port of Taiwan Province Province. However, it was "defeated by Shouren, chasing the fresh water ocean and sinking its boat." Whether Patricia Lam Fung's strength has been greatly damaged after the attack has not yet found the most direct material to explain. However, Patricia Lam Fung's situation at that time can be inferred from his motivation of expedition to Luzon. At that time, the composition of Phoenix soldiers was very complicated, including farmers, craftsmen and fishermen, as well as some Japanese, Ryukyu people and Filipinos. Japanese Matsuura Zhang and The Pirates of the Ming and Qing Dynasties quoted the records in the Ten Kingdoms, arguing that Li, a pirate from ten countries, attacked the Philippine Islands with a huge fleet for the purpose of doing bad things. Which one is wrong? Because his departure was completely forced, he arrived in the Philippines without a plan. At the same time, Zhanghe Matsuura continued to quote the book, believing that the pirate was born in a middle-class family in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. His parents brought him up in an unrestrained environment since he was a child. Therefore, he was born a rude and misbehaving Zog. He robbed all the way, regardless of occupation and technology, and soon many people gathered around him. He was promoted to a leader and ran roughshod over the province. The king and his cabinet know this. In order to ensure the safety of this pirate-infested province, the king ordered local officials to concentrate the border guards as quickly as possible, arrest the pirate Li Mahong and escort him back to Beijing. If the enemy can't beat him, he will send the pirate's head. Obviously, the author did not mention that Lin Feng has a large number of Japanese, Ryukyu people, Malays and so on. , blurred a lot of things.

Due to the limitation of materials, this paper tries to describe in detail the whole process of its arrival in the Philippines and what happened afterwards, although it is impossible to make a comprehensive analysis of these materials of the author. In the winter of the second year of Wanli (A.D. 1574), Patricia Lam Fung led 62 warships, including 2,000 amphibious women and 0/500 male, with Japanese Siaox as the commander-in-chief. When they arrived in Iocossur, they met a Spanish ship, and Patricia Lam Fung ordered his soldiers to rob it. But it was discovered by the Spanish stationed in the local area, and it was quickly reported to Juan Salce, the officer of Wigan. Sazlo immediately sent three indigenous people to Manila to warn them. But the locals were stopped by people in Patricia Lam Fung. Patricia Lam Fung then took the opportunity to attack Vigan, and Juan Salce Des led fifty soldiers to escape. Patricia Lam Fung pursued victory and went to Manila.

In the second year of Wanli (AD 1574)1KLOC-0/29th, Patricia Lam Fung Navy arrived in Velaise, Mali, Manila Port. At dusk, Patricia Lam Fung ordered Theokoles to lead 600 people to attack Manila by boat. In the storm, more than 200 people died because the ship capsized and drowned. However, the rest still landed in Paranake, eight miles south of Manila, led by Sioux. Arriving in Manila early the next morning, when the officer Martin de Goiti was stationed outside the Acropolis, the establishment was unprepared. Theokoles soon defeated him, seized his territory, and Martin de Goity died. The defenders in the city took this opportunity to strengthen their garrison, and when Theox attacked, they tried their best to resist. Theokoles' troops were damaged by the storm on the way into the army, so they could not rush to capture the city wall. So West Russia retreated to Cavite and Patricia Lam Fung. On the other hand, Spanish governors ravizza Rees and Theocos withdrew their troops and immediately built a high wall along Manila Bay to send troops to defend. Juan Salceds also led six warships and hundreds of soldiers to the rescue. After the first attack in Patricia Lam Fung was completed, the indigenous people in the Philippines (Moro people) thought that China had won, and quickly gathered nearly 10,000 people near Manila and began to take action against the Spanish. 1February 13, Patricia Lam Fung launched the second attack, and ordered theokos to lead 1500 troops to attack in three teams. Patricia Lam Fung's warships also fired guns outside the port. However, because the Spanish reinforced the city wall and increased reinforcements, they were eager for success. Patricia Lam Fung then sent another 500 reinforcements, but they always failed. When Patricia Lam Fung's army attacked Manila, the indigenous Filipinos (Moros) killed missionaries and merchant soldiers to prepare for Patricia Lam Fung's army, but Patricia Lam Fung was soon divided after the defeat.

After Patricia Lam Fung's army failed, he led Beihang's army to retreat from Ango R River to the southwest of Panga, and built cities and castles 40 miles above the river as a long-term solution. And ordered a map to help pay. After learning this news, Spanish Governor ravizza Rees was worried and decided to assemble Spanish troops from the Philippines and prepare to attack the southwest of Panga in Manila, with Juan Salce as commander-in-chief. Juan Salceds, with 6000 Filipino soldiers and 650 Spanish soldiers, 1, first sailed to Lingeyin Bay in the north of Pangasinan. At that time, Patricia Lam Fung's 32 warships were moored there and all were annihilated. Juan Salce sent troops to land. The two armies scuffled for more than four months, and Patricia Lam Fung was finally defeated for lack of supplies. So they broke through and fled, and some fled to the mountains.

After Patricia Lam Fung was defeated in the Philippines, he led the army to commit crimes. He has been to Zhelin, Jinghai and Jieshi. At the same time, I have been to Fujian and other places, and plundered ports around Taiwan Province Province. But at that time, Fujian cracked down hard on pirates, and Patricia Lam Fung hit a wall everywhere and had to leave. Hu Shouren defeated Patricia Lam Fung again, and Patricia Lam Fung led his troops back to Guangdong to invade Chaozhou. At that time, Chaoshan's participation in politics was dominated by gold and Zhejiang. I saw that the naval forces of Fujian and Guangdong provinces were very strong and disheartened, and they were not prepared for further resistance. So all his men, including Ma and Li Cheng, surrendered, with 668 men and women. Lin knows that China has traditionally been merciless to so-called thieves and fled abroad alone.

In the struggle between Patricia Lam Fung and Spain, there is an empire behind Spain, although this support may not work materially; But behind Patricia Lam Fung was a huge empire ready to destroy them at all costs, so in the end, the Spanish won. On the surface, this is the failure of the struggle between Patricia Lam Fung and Spain. In fact, it was the failure of the Ming Dynasty, which also revealed the fate of China being attacked and invaded in the future world. Because the difference between the overseas expansion consciousness of the two empires is so far, it also reflects that the two nations are gradually pulling apart in the process of moving towards modern society. Since the failure of Patricia Lam Fung, it has been difficult for Chinese to occupy a dominant position in Southeast Asia, so it is often inevitable that they will be slaughtered and deported. Therefore, the fate of Patricia Lam Fung's failure also vaguely indicates the future fate of Chinese in Southeast Asia. The tragic ending of China's overseas exploration also vaguely foreshadows China's tragic experience in the modern world. The failure of Patricia Lam Fung's career is actually a sign that China and overseas Chinese will fail in the East-West competition in the future, and it is also a mirror reflecting their respective futures. However, when we realized Patricia Lam Fung's pioneering spirit, the Chinese nation was already in the Republic of China. It is shocking that the spiritual inertia of a nation can last for hundreds of years.
