Crescent Bay City, the vigorous construction began.

The Ming people who immigrated here earlier were the most positive, and this time they understood a truth, and the Ming Dynasty was their most determined backer.

If it weren't for Du Mingen and the others who happened to come here this time, no one would care about their losses, their grievances, their tears, and their blood.

The wealth accumulated after a lifetime of hard work was wiped out overnight, and without the arrival of the Ming army, how could it be taken back?

The dead relatives and friends, if there is no Ming army to avenge them, they can only watch where the enemy is acting recklessly, then they can be like now, there is revenge, there is revenge.

The lost wealth was recovered, and Du Mingen's side still repaid it tenfold, and the heinous natives were also killed, and even the princes and nobles of Luzon were killed.

The water of the Crescent River was red, and all the natives who had been killed now saw that they all lowered their heads one by one, and did not dare to make any sound.

Only at this time can they really feel the benefits of having a strong country behind them, even if it is Luzon, which is thousands of miles away, the Ming Dynasty can easily clean up these people.

"It's all for honest work~ If you dare to steal and play tricks, be careful to cut you down and throw it into the river to feed the fish~"

Chen Laohan held a whip in his hand, whipped it in the air from time to time, and stared at the natives in front of him, these natives were all recruited from here in Crescent City to build the outer walls of Crescent City.

According to the latest Crescent City law issued by Du Mingen, all natives within a hundred miles of Crescent City are considered to be Ming reserve citizens, and they must owe allegiance to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and at the same time pay taxes and perform conscription to the Ming Dynasty.

It was only a few days after this law was issued, and the conscription decree on the side of Crescent City was issued, and these natives within a hundred miles around it did not dare to resist at all, so they obediently came over.

What happened here in Crescent Bay also quickly spread throughout Luzon, and the whole country of Luzon was shocked, but there was no way, and the natives here in the remaining cities hurriedly sent people to send gifts, and at the same time showed that they had no opinions at all.

They are afraid to die, they are afraid that Du Mingen's side will continue to attack, this will lose the crescent bay, don't lose other cities, once Du Mingen continues to attack other cities, they can't stop it at all, will they run into the rainforest like those black dwarves to be primitive people?

What's more, the king of Luzon and many princes and nobles have all been killed, and now the remaining Luzon people are fighting for the right to rule Luzon, who will care about the affairs of Crescent Bay.

Thousands of natives came to Crescent Bay and began to fulfill their task of serving as reserve citizens of the Ming Dynasty and building Crescent City.

These natives were recruited to build Crescent City, and the original local Ming people all became the managers of the Crescent Moon one by one, responsible for overseeing the work, transmitting words, translating and so on.

After all, they have lived here for many years, they are familiar with this place after all, and with them here, many things are easy to do.

When these natives around them heard Chen Laohan's words, and then looked at the leather whip in Chen Laohan's hand, they couldn't help but speed up their work one by one.

I used to think that Mingren was easy to get along with, and this Mingren was very kind and gentle, so everyone was not afraid of Mingren at all, and this is what happened again.

But now, these Ming people have changed all of a sudden, they have become more ferocious than tigers, and these Ming people who are overseers in front of them, as well as the Ming army resting under the tree not far away, all of them are telling them that if they don't work honestly, they will definitely have good fruits to eat.

"You're all listening~"

"As long as you work hard, as long as you are obedient, study my Ming official language, learn our language, you also have the opportunity to become a formal Ming citizen, and at that time, your children and grandchildren can also study, you can also go to the imperial examination, and you can also go to the Ming Dynasty to be an official."

Chen Laohan remembered some of the things explained above, so he said in a soothing tone.

"Of course, these things are still far away from you, now what you need to do is to work hard, as long as you work hard, there will be a silver reward, and you can give priority to learning my Ming language and writing, and become my Ming people as soon as possible."

"I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and I am a glorious Ming people, which is your glory."

Old man Chen puffed up his chest as he spoke.

In fact, he didn't understand why Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping, wanted to issue such a strange order, these natives are barbarians, not my Chinese blood, why should they be allowed to become citizens of the Ming Dynasty and give them a chance?

Barbarian is barbarian, not educated, ignorant of benevolence, righteousness and morality, even if he can speak Ming dialect and write Chinese characters, he is still a barbarian, there is no need to treat them like this.

Of course, this is just Chen Laohan's idea.

After all, his knowledge is only a little bit, and Du Mingen's side also did it according to Liu Jin's instructions, which is called cultural export and assimilation in the words of later generations.

In this way, the ethnic and cultural groups of the occupied areas are slowly eliminated, and the Chinese culture is gradually established, so as to finally tell the truth about the purpose of assimilation. classic

Of course, giving them some hope is also to reduce their own losses.

Humans are strange creatures that burst out with great power when they are desperate.

Give them some hope, but also to reduce the likelihood of their riots.

This place is far away from the Ming Dynasty, in a short period of time, the Ming people are still a minority, although they have a strong force, but the number is still relatively small, once the riot, there will still be casualties.

Give them hope, let them see that following the Ming Dynasty is also promising, and it will naturally reduce the occurrence of this aspect, and subtly, they will slowly regard themselves as the Ming people, and finally succeed in completely occupying this place.

In addition, most of Luzon is undeveloped, which requires a lot of labor, so how can these natives not make good use of it?

You can also make a typical example for other regions and other countries in the South Seas, the end of offending Daming is very miserable, and you can eat and drink spicy food with Daming.

This is a high-level form of colonization.

Historically, Europeans have conquered almost the entire world, but in the end they have only gained a foothold in the Americas and Australia, and the rest of the world has gradually freed itself from their colonial rule.

One of the most important reasons is that their colonial rule is very low, just to plunder wealth and economy, and they do not really want to rule and occupy these places.

Liu Jin is different, it is necessary to plunder wealth and economy, but Liu Jin does not intend to let go of these good places, and is ready to swallow them all into Daming's mouth gradually.

It is impossible to say that the natives here are all killed, that is unrealistic, the cost is also very large, and it will also cause heavy losses of its own.

This is the Nanyang region, the influence of the Ming Dynasty is still very large, many of them are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and these natives here are not very resistant to being ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

Annam, Siam, Luzon, Sulu, Boni, Brunei, etc., are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, especially Annam, which was directly ruled by China for a long time in history.

The influence of Chinese civilization here is very great, and it is also what these local natives yearn for.

"My lord, is this true?"

Someone heard Chen Laohan's words, stood up and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, our Daming is a kingdom, and we have always believed in our words, as long as you work hard, you can become an official Ming people, and future generations can go to Daming to be officials."

Chen Laohan looked at the other party, this person he happened to know, it was a Malay who had helped him work before, named Alai, a more honest Malay, a more diligent person.

"The descendants of the future generations will go to Daming to be officials?"

When the surrounding natives heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, this is something they can't think of, let alone going to Daming, even if they are here in Luzon, it is difficult for ordinary people to say that they have the opportunity to be officials.

The Malays are also more influenced by Tianzhu, the caste system in Tianzhu is deep-rooted, and it also has a great influence on them, although there is no caste system here, but the class division is still very obvious, and it is too difficult for ordinary natives to become princes and nobles.

But this Alai believed.

I have heard that Daming is very big and rich before, and I didn't believe it at first, after all, it was far away, but this time, they really saw the strength of Daming.

The large ships moored in the entire Crescent Bay, the powerful Ming army, the terrible artillery, as well as the clothing, food, etc. of these Ming people, all showed them the self-confidence of a powerful country.

Even if it is to give them the food of the natives who serve as servants, it is much better than them, they even have fish and meat to eat every day, and the taste of the food made by the Ming people is really not comparable to them, all of which makes people yearn for it incomparably.

"I must work hard, learn the Ming dialect well, and strive to become an official citizen of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."

"In the future, my children can also go to study like the Ming people, go to the imperial examination, and go to the Ming Dynasty to become an official."

Alai silently remembered Chen Laohan's words, and at the same time silently buried himself in hard work.

Daming is in their hearts, that is strong, synonymous with wealth, now they have the opportunity and hope, and it is possible to become Daming people, to become people of that rich and powerful country.

Thinking of this, many people feel that they seem to be a little different.
