The Manila trial has finally come to an end after two days, but its aftermath will continue for decades and even centuries.

Later historians commented that it was precisely with the Manila trial that Liu Ximing successfully laid the political main line of governing the country according to law for the Liu regime and laid a solid foundation for ensuring the subsequent prosperity of the country.

After that, the trust of Western European merchants in the Luzon regime increased, and Manila's commercial trade became more prosperous.

Through the trial, the Spanish governor was executed, and some Spanish soldiers and natives were also sentenced to death, which was a great revenge for the Luzon Han people, and also had a great sense of belonging to the Liu family.

Even the natives and Japanese in Manila City quickly changed their positions under the threat of Liu Ximing and the temptation of Jiali.

Chosamune's Ibu Yoshijin is one of them.

Yoshikin is a tributary of the Nagamune Ibu family, a daimyo of the Japanese Hotosa, who was originally only a wealthy family on the island of Shikoku, but under the leadership of the 20th generation of the head of the country, Chosō Ibu Motoko, he once unified Shikoku and became a powerful daimyo.

It's just that he was born at the wrong time, and when the Motojin rose, Toyosei Hideyoshi was already in power, and finally lost most of the territory of Shikoku under Hideyoshi's attack, and was demoted to the daimyo of Tosa Province.

Later, because of the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka, the Chosamune family completely lost the Tosa territory and became the ronin family.

Chosamune Ibu Yoshikin's father, Sheng Ding, was the third son of the 21st generation head of the Chosō Ibu family, because the Tokugawa family executed all the fathers and sons after the Battle of Osaka, and the young Yoshijin could only flee to Luzon under the escort of his retainers.

In fact, in this era, in addition to the Han Chinese, a large number of Japanese were active in Southeast Asian countries, and there were merchant houses established by the Japanese in Siam, Luzon and other places.

For example, the mountain field house in Siam, the Naya house in Luzon, the well-mouth house, etc.

Changzong's auspicious relatives were under the cover of the wellhead house, and he hid in Luzon for more than 20 years.

Because of his efforts to help the Spaniards suppress the Han Chinese, nearly 400 of the more than 1,000 Japanese in Manila were sentenced to death by Liu Ximing.

However, this made these Japanese rise up the worship of the strong, and after the Manila trial, Changzong and my department Yoshijin finally decided to lead their retainers to Liu Ximing's allegiance.

In the Luzon General's Mansion, Liu Ximing looked at the Japanese samurai with the head of the moon in front of him with interest.

"Your name is Changzong and my department Jijin, right?"

"Haiyi, Your Excellency General, it is the auspicious relatives of our department of Changzong below."

The thirty-year-old Nagamune Ibe Yoshikin is short in stature, and his face with a short beard shows a capable and resolute look.

Liu Ximing smiled when he saw Ji Qin kneeling on the ground and looked at him, "You said you want to be loyal to me, but do you have anything worthy of my attention?" ”

Ji Qin hurriedly bowed down and nodded, "Your Excellency General, my Changzong and my family still have twelve retainers in Luzon, all of whom are first-class warriors who can fight on the battlefield for the general. ”

"The bravery of the Japanese people is not worth mentioning in our eyes", Liu Ximing looked up at Li Biao, who was standing with his arms crossed and staring at Ji Qin and the others, pointed at him and smiled: "No matter how brave you are, can you beat the general's personal guard?" ”

Changzong Jijin looked up at Li Biao's six-foot-tall figure, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Your Excellency General, we are naturally inferior to this warrior, but Manila City is newly built, and we believe that it will be useful to us."

Liu Ximing folded the fan in his hand and smiled, "Okay, you do have some use, do you have familiar people for Japanese trade?" ”

Changzong and my head lit up as his eyes lit up as he lay on the ground, and he immediately raised his head: "Your Excellency, the wellhead house where we are located has been trading with Japan all year round, and I am very familiar with this. ”

"Okay, you gather these people for General Ben, and General Ben wants to set up a Japanese Trade Bureau under the Ministry of Commerce, and these people can be counted as members of the General's Mansion."

"As for you," Liu Ximing leaned forward and leaned forward, "If this can be done, General Ben will allow you to recruit a force from the Japanese in Luzon to form a samurai song." ”

"The commander of the song is still to be made by my Fubo Master's people, and you can help lead them as a deputy."

"Haiyi, thank you for the reward, Your Excellency, we will swear allegiance to the death!"

Changzong Ibu Jiqin bowed his head again with excitement on his face.

"Let's go down", Liu Ximing waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down.

Li Biao looked at the short figure of Changzong and my Jiqin and frowned, "Second brother, we have enough of our own manpower, what do you want these widows to do?" ”

Liu Ximing stood up carelessly, nodded Li Biao's forehead with a fan, and said with a smile:

"You, you, use your brains a little more, Japan, as the second largest country on the side of Middle-earth at the moment, is an indispensable link in our trade chain, and these Japanese will use it sooner or later."

"Besides, Luzon Island is so big, we have no skills in ten thousand people, we can't do everything, and we can keep a dog to take care of the natives for us."

"Hahaha"

Liu Ximing naturally counts his words, and after Changzong and my head Yoshijin swore allegiance, he put him in charge of commanding the remaining Japanese, and formed a samurai team of 120 people, mainly responsible for supervising the natives.

In a stable atmosphere, the work of the Luzon General's Mansion was rapidly promoted.

On 23 March, Liu Ximing officially held a ceremony for the inauguration of the Luzon General's Mansion in Manila.

In the midst of a field of flowers, Liu Ximing walked up the red carpet to the newly made throne in the General's Palace, and announced the news of the establishment of the Luzon General's Mansion to the Han Chinese, Spaniards, Dutch and others who came to watch the ceremony.

In front of everyone, Liu Ximing appointed Gu Peng, Shen Huai and many other major officials of the General's Palace, and at the same time announced that Manila City would be renamed Qianzhou City.

From today onwards, the army under the jurisdiction of the Luzon General's Mansion will be called the Luzon Army, and the five-star red flag will be designated as the flag of the Luzon General's Office, and all fleets, armies, and towns must fly the national flag.

Although it has been many years, the red in his memory is a memory that Liu Ximing will never forget.

From the 23rd to the 26th, a large amount of food was purchased at the expense of the General's Mansion and opened to the people of the city free of charge.

Where did the Han natives in Qianzhou City receive this kind of national treatment, and one or two of them had a great increase in their favorability towards the Luzon General's Mansion.

In the midst of joy, nearly 50,000 Han, Tu and Japanese were assigned to various ministries under the Liu family system and began to carry out various construction work according to Liu Ximing's plan.

The original Manila was equivalent to three scattered cities clustered together, the Spanish city of Manila occupied the upper reaches of the Passi River, and the Balian City and the Turen Settlement area were located on both sides of the city of Manila.

The total of the three areas is less than 3 square kilometers, and the living area is very narrow.

Considering that Qianzhou City would be the capital of the Luzon General's Mansion for a long time in the future, Liu Ximing planned to build Qianzhou City as a model project for his own regime.

Luzon used to be the property of the Spaniards, and Liu Ximing directly took all the land on the island into the general's office, and there was ample land for urban construction.

This time, the Qianzhou New City will be expanded several times on the basis of the original Manila City, and will be built into a large city with a circumference of 32 miles and an area of 16 square kilometers.

The Liu family already has a wealth of experience, and the workshop personnel who previously went south with Liu Ximing are now in use.

After two days of consultation with the Han craftsmen of the original Baliancheng and the engineers of the Spaniards, the new Qianzhou City plan was finally released.

In this plan, Qianzhou City will build a large square in the center of the city, and buildings such as the general's mansion, the ancestral hall, and the library will be built around the square.

To the surprise of the Han and Spaniards in Baliancheng, underground facilities such as sewers were planned to be built in Qianzhou City, and the roads in the city were much wider than ordinary.

For the architectural style of Qianzhou City, Liu Ximing is more inclined to mix Chinese and Western architecture.

In Liu Ximing's view, Chinese architectural aesthetics had declined sharply after the Han and Tang dynasties, and by the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the architectural appearance of the whole country had lost the elegant atmosphere of the Han and Tang dynasties, and had become rough and vulgar.

It is under the guidance of Liu Ximing's thought that the architecture of Qianzhou City not only has Han-style long and straight and towering cornices and corners, but also Roman-style dome reliefs, which has become a wonder of urban development in later generations.

In just one month, with the efforts of more than 50,000 people in the city, the excavation of the underground foundation of Qianzhou City has been completed.
