OK man, I finally found the citation about the bells thingy (I found it myself because my friend didn't bother to answer my request)
Source: Successos de las Islas Pilipinas Dr. Antonio de Morga 1609
Their customary method of trading was by bartering one thing for another, such as food, cloth, cattle, fowls, lands, houses, fields, servants, fishing-grounds, and palm-trees (both nipa and wild). Sometimes a price intervened, which was paid in gold, as agreed upon, or in metal bells brought from China. These bells they regard as precious jewels; they resemble large pans and are very sonorous. They play upon these at their feasts, and carry them to the war in their boats instead of drums and other instruments.
But I'm still trying to search up the source for our fleets of singing sailors.
However, the use of a gong or bell ringing in battle, I have now proven.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold. Part of the reason they fell was that they were too cruel. Dominance and terror can only get you up to a certain point. Then there comes a zone wherein you have to apply finesse to maintain your position. And mercilessly castrating your enemies will ennerve them to only resist you all the more harder with an even larger conviction than before.
The Ottomans declined in Europe. The Delhi Sultanate declined in India. No doubt due to their cruel and harsh tactics.
