Everything about Juan De Salcedo totally explained
Juan de Salcedo (
1549 –
March 11,
1576) was a Spanish commander and soldier. He was known as the last of the
conquistadors.
Born in
Mexico in
1549, Salcedo was the second eldest
grandson of
Miguel López de Legazpi. He joined Legazpi and brother
Felipe de Salcedo in
1564 for the
conquest of the Philippines at the age of 15, arriving in the
East Indies in
1565. In 1569, Salcedo led an army of 300 soldiers along with
Martín de Goiti for the conquest of
Manila. There they fought a number of battles against the
Muslim rulers and destroyed its
kingdom in
1570 and
1571.
Salcedo later explored the northern regions of the Philippines with a small force of 45 soldiers in the late periods of
1571, where he traveled most of
Ilocos Sur and
Luzon island and founded several Spanish Cities.
In
1574, Salcedo went back to the city of Manila, after a
war had broken out against 3,000
Chinese warriors led by the Chinese Pirate
Limahong who had besieged the settlements. Salcedo and his army of 600 soldiers re-captured the city later that year and pursued the retreating Chinese army to
Pangasinan in
1575. There,
Limahong and his warriors made their escape by sailing to the South China Sea.
Salcedo later went back to
Vigan, where he died of a malignant
fever in his home, at the age of 27. His body is laid to rest at the
San Agustin Church in
Intramuros.
