  • LOS PROYECTOS DE CONQUISTA DE CHINA POR LA MONARQUÍA HISPÁNICA DURANTE EL SIGLO XVI –( Y V)
    LOS PROYECTOS DE CONQUISTA DE CHINA POR LA MONARQUÍA HISPÁNICA DURANTE EL SIGLO XVI –( y V)-. Por José Manuel Troyano Viedma. Investigador y Cronista Oficial de las Villas de Bedmar y de Garciez (Jaén). El Plan de Conquista de China.- Asimismo, los sucesivos sustitutos de Sande, Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa1 –ya vistos- y Santiago de Vera, redactaron un plan más detallado que obtuvo la aprobación entusiasta de las autoridades de Manila, tanto las políticas como las militares y las religiosas. Como fuerza expedicionaria se requerían los cientos de soldados españoles destacados en Filipinas más un refuerzo de doce mil enviados desde España y cinco o seis mil nativos auxiliares, a los que habría que sumar otros diez o doce mil japoneses que reclutarían los jesuitas. En total unos veinte o veinticinco mil hombres entre los que habría contingentes portugueses para que fuera una campaña común. El número de efectivos, que doblaba el previsto antes, tenía como objetivo abrumar al enemigo y provocar su sometimiento evitando un derramamiento de sangre que despoblara el país, como había pasado con los taínos de Cuba. Se calculaba que además del armamento personal de cada soldado era necesario un complemento de quinientos mosquetes, cuatro mil picas, mil caballos, un millar de morriones y borgoñotas y un número no especificado 1 D. Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa, llegó a las Islas Filipinas con un ejército de seiscientos hombres “formado a su costa” y la merced soberana del gobierno vitalicio de las islas con facultad de nombrar sucesor interino en caso necesario, por lo que tras su fallecimiento, ocurrido en Manila en 1583, le sucedió su hermano D.
