It stands to reason that the jungles of Luzon should be hell, and the reason why the Spaniards have not been able to expand in Luzon on a large scale is because the Europeans have not been able to adapt to the hot and humid climate.

Coupled with the frequent occurrence of tropical diseases such as malaria, there were very few Spaniards willing to colonize Luzon.

But these problems are not a problem for Liu Ximing, who has been prepared for a long time, before leaving for the south, Gu Nan and others in the infirmary have already developed medicines such as Ermiaosan and Pulsatilla Powder according to the ancient formula.

And according to Liu Ximing's proposal, these medicines are all made into what he calls Chinese patent medicines, packed in small boxes, and drunk one pair every day.

As for malaria, the whole Fubo division knew that it was transmitted by mosquitoes, so they were heavily armed in the jungle, using gauze and other equipment to cover themselves tightly.

Besides, even if you really get it, it's not so terrible, although it is impossible to extract artemisinin in large quantities, but Artemisia annua and other medicinal materials also have certain therapeutic functions for malaria, and it is not completely incurable.

It is worth mentioning that after three years of careful guidance by Liu Ximing, the Liu family's medical system is also developing rapidly.

Gu Nan and others first discovered the microscopic world of bacteria through a special microscope, and gained a better understanding of the causes of human diseases.

Then, under Liu Ximing's suggestion, they extracted penicillin from Penicillium, although it is not yet possible to mass produce it on a large scale, but it can be guaranteed for the scale of the Liu family.

After opening the door of modern medicine one after another, Gu Nan and others have entered a path that no one has walked even in Liu Ximing's era.

That is, on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, modern medicine is derived.

Under his more objective guidance, the first thing Gu Nan and others did was to eliminate some concepts in Chinese medicine that contain the shadow of witch doctors, and at the same time gradually walked out of the dead end of experience and began to develop in the direction of science.

It was under the protection of Liu Ximing's advanced technology that the soldiers of the Fubo Division waited quietly until the evening.

The Fubo Division, which had already detected the situation in Calabar, moved quietly and made a surprise attack under the fortress before the Spaniards could react.

At this point, there was no suspense in the war, although there was no Liu Xi's order to transport the artillery, but relying on the gunpowder pack, the Fubo division still managed to blow up the Kalaba fortress into the sky.

Hundreds of men poured into the burning fortress, where the two Spanish companies were almost wiped out.

The Han people who were awakened were still trembling, but fortunately, there were Chen Hai and others as contacts, and in an instant, the Han people of the entire Calaba knew that they were rescued by the force called the Luzon General's Mansion, and the cheers and shouts resounded throughout the settlement.

The angry Han Chinese even rushed into the burning fortress and dragged out the corpses of many Spaniards to be whipped, which shows the depth of hatred.

However, the Han people in Calabar have not been able to be happy all the time, Zhao Jingyong's strategy of eastward expansion has been completed, and he will let these Han people and natives continue to stay here to guard the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land that have been reclaimed.

Faced with the incomprehensible eyes of the Han people in Calabar, Zhao Jingyong had to reiterate Liu Ximing's order, all Han people are all ordinary people under the rule of the Liu family, and the Liu family needs to be arranged for any profession.

However, he also promised that everyone who participated in the work would receive a salary of no less than one or two silver per month, and at the same time pay performance bonuses according to performance, so that Calaba was finally appeased.

In the city of Manila, Liu Ximing also began to deal with the thorny problems in the city.

He first selected a hundred officers from the Fubo Division as part-time government officials, and at the same time began to form the Manila Police Force based on the Fubo Division.

For this reason, he also specially called Huang Yang and others over to consult their opinions, and in the end, of their 700 people, 300 will be transferred to the police, and the remaining 400 will join the Fubo Division.

Liu Ximing transferred three tun manpower from the Fubo Division, plus the original manpower of Huang Yang's manpower, to form the Manila Police Force together.

In order to deepen his control over the Han people of Baliancheng, Liu Ximing decided to build Huang Yang and others as a model, and their family of 700 people would be the first residents to live in the Manila Fort.

After the news spread, there was a sudden frenzy in Balian City, and all the Han people who had a wait-and-see attitude flocked to the General's Mansion in Manila City, wanting to occupy a place in the new government.

However, at this time, Liu Ximing was not so anxious, and the first thing to do at the moment was to organize the households.

Although the Spaniards had been taxing the Han Chinese in Baliancheng, the Europeans had no habit of setting up hukou.

In order to better grasp the situation in the city, the first task of the General's Government Council was to register and clean up the people in the city.

It took only one day for a registration team of nearly 1,000 soldiers to complete the establishment of the household registration of all the people in Manila, and as for the identity card, it was necessary to wait until the Ministry of Industry was formed.

At present, there are a total of 31,471 Han Chinese and 12,895 natives in Manila, and to Liu Ximing's surprise, there are 1,189 Japanese among them.

With the addition of 10,000 people in the Fubo Division, Manila is almost catching up with the population level of Liujia Village.

After grasping the situation of the whole city clearly, on the night of the third day of the capture of Manila, Liu Ximing carried out another vigorous feudal superstitious activity in the city.

Dressed in his big red python robe, Liu Ximing was like a magic stick directly in front of the Manila Cathedral, and once again showed the so-called miracle in front of tens of thousands of people, which shocked the Han and Turen present.

Liu Ximing was holding a gossip plate made of gold, and the hundreds of Fubo Division soldiers in bright red military uniforms behind him looked like immortals descending to earth.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, my Liu family was ordered by heaven to establish a general's mansion in Luzon, and all the Han people, natives and other people on this island who are willing to be loyal to me will be blessed by Emperor Ziwei, and you are willing to serve me as the lord?"

The Han natives present had already knelt on the ground, and Huang Yang and the others even shouted directly, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

"Okay, after the trial of the Franji people in a few days, we will hold the inauguration ceremony of the General's Palace, and everyone is welcome to attend."

After Liu Ximing announced the news with a smile, his face immediately became solemn again.

"Since everyone is willing to obey my orders, then in the future, we need to be self-respecting, my Luzon General's Mansion is different from the regulations of other places, everyone must join my family's various departments, or serve as scribes, or as farmers and craftsmen."

Tens of thousands of people in front of the church were in an uproar, they had never seen such a method, did they want to see it as tenants?

The Han people, who had suffered enough of the great losses of the gentry and wealthy lords on the mainland, suddenly began to worry again, and the original whispers began to turn into loud discussions.

Li Biao hurriedly took the personal guard battalion to maintain order at the scene.

Liu Ximing immediately explained again: "Don't worry, my Liu family doesn't want to enslave everyone, but wants to gather everyone's wisdom and talents, think in one place, work hard in one place, and finally let all of us live a good life." ”

"First of all, after everyone joins the command of the General's Mansion, as long as they are arranged to work, all of them will be paid by my General's Mansion, in the past, in the Ming Kingdom, the income of ordinary families was only more than ten taels of silver a year, and here the general can guarantee that in the Luzon General's Mansion, the annual income of each family will not be less than twenty taels, and it will be higher in the future."

"Really, can it be so high?"

The kneeling crowd looked incredulous.

Liu Ximing explained with a smile: "In fact, the hard work that everyone has paid is worth so much, but because of the exploitation of the government and the gentry, no matter how hard everyone works, they can only barely make ends meet." ”

"And my Luzon General's Mansion is different, our purpose is to make everyone's life happy, so the daily profits will be given to everyone, in addition, General Ben has a lot of good news to tell you."

Liu Ximing stopped when he said this, and the expression of selling Guan Zi made everyone scratch their ears and cheeks a little, and they couldn't do it in a hurry.

"All Han children in Manila will receive nine years of school education free of charge, and all adult people will also participate in free classes, and strive to make all Han people in Manila literate and write within three years."

"In addition, the General's Mansion will provide medical services for all subjects," Liu Ximing pointed to Gu Peng and the others beside him.

"You have also seen that in the past few days, this Doctor Gu has led dozens of military doctors to conduct many diagnoses and treatments for the people in Balian City, and Mr. Gu will soon serve as the waiter of the General's Mansion, and in the future, all the hospitals they will open will be free for everyone, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, great, the general is a saint!"

When more than a dozen Han old men with white beards heard this, they immediately knelt down again, cheering loudly with excitement on their faces.
