Luzon Island is the largest island in the Philippine Archipelago, with an area of about 110,000 square kilometers (equivalent to Jiangsu and Shanghai) and a population of less than 60 million (about three-quarters of the population of Jiangsu Province). Located in the north of the Philippines, Luzon is the political and economic center of the Philippines.
The following content is my scribbled, everyone can take a look at it~
Luzon has a long history, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang) to Yongle (Zhu Di) years sent envoys to the Central Plains Dynasty tribute, China and Luzon between the close exchanges, the southeast coast also many people to Luzon to settle, do business, and many people converted to the local mainstream religion Moon Religion. But it all ended with the Spanish invasion, and not only did Luzon become a place name, but even the name of the entire archipelago was changed.
Here is the main story of two B-shirts.
One is Magellan, the first well-documented Western fleet to arrive in the Philippines is Magellan's circumnavigation of the world, Magellan's fleet crossed the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines under hunger, but just after setting foot on the island for a full meal, they began to talk to the local tribal chief about the reorganization. For the King of Spain promised him before the departure of the convoy, but whenever new territory was discovered, or seized or acquired, the governor was him, and of course the money was great. As a result, it could not be incorporated, and he was given a shadow by the chief and killed in the Philippines.
The other was MacArthur, who fought and hid in the war and was promoted to the first place. When in 1941, with a mere 34,000 troops, the Japanese had lost their armor and armor to MacArthur's 270 aircraft and Asian fleet, plus 130,000 American-Filipino forces. MacArthur actually took advantage of the night, left the rout army, and fled to Australia with his wife, children and lieutenants. The story of the subsequent occurrence of the collapsed army is the "Bataan Death March" on the Bataan Peninsula in Luzon, which suffered heavy casualties, and how many unjust souls were killed on Luzon. If Nimitz had not commanded the fleet, after 3 years of fighting, regained face at sea, and let the escaped general finally return to the Philippines, MacArthur estimated that he would have lost the family business earned by his ancestors for many years of military merit.
