Conquest of Manila (1405)
|
| The Conquest of Manila (1405) was a conquest of Luzon island, including Manila, by admiral Zheng He which according to Jesuit Father Gaubil as stated in his in "Lettres edifiantes", had sent Thirty Thousand Chinese soldiers in various times to secure sovereignty over Manila. In relation to this, according to Otley Beyer, the Yongle Emperor appointed a Chinese governor named Ko Ch'a-lao to Luzon in order to oversee affairs there. Modern Newspapers echo this notion that the Chinese had sent troops to the Philippines in the past and a historian by the name of Paul Kekai Manansala also re-affirm that historical Chinese conquest of Luzon. |
